APraetIeal joke on a Merchant.

a practical joke was perpetrated on
one of our very quiet and much es-
teemed merchants on Tuesday last,
which is too good to be lost. It APP
pears that the merchant in question,
who, by the way, is well-tO do in the
world, and is very kind hearted with
al, was returning from drive in the
suburbs, and while coming into the
city over the Milldam, he noticed q
well-dressed young lady vending her
way in the same direction on foot
As there was room in the buggy, and
as it seemed too bad to allow good
looking young lady to walk so long a
distance, the merchant invited her to
ride, and accepting his.Offer, the lady
seated herself by his side. He had
proceeded but a short distance, how
ever, when the lady had the misfor-
tune % to lose her veil, and of course
the gallant merchant stopped his nag
and alighted to obtain the piece of fe-
male ''dry goods" He had scarcely
stopped to pick up the fugitive veil
when he discovered that the vehicle
was rapidly reeeding from him, and
bidding his legs do their duty he at

his favOTite nag, but the effort was a
total failure, and the merchant was
Obliged to ''fOot it" home, mueh to
his disgust; if not Otastonishment, at the
sudden phase of things; and he Won
dered if there was a female herse-thief
around. While on his way hNme il
transpired that the strange lady had
driven into town through Charles
street and when near the Providence
Railroad station she accOsted young
man on the sidewalk, and asked to be
directed to a livery stable where she
could put up her horse. The young
man, of course, gallantly offered to
show the lady the way, but when he
got into the vehicle the lady jumped
out from the opposite side and disap-
peared round the next corner, to the
mute astOnishmentof of the young man.
The horse was finally put up, but it
was not until to-day that the owner
found his missing animal. Upon in
quiry we learn that the young lady
bears a good reputation, but is fond of
a good joke. We should think sO.-

What Shall | Do TO be Sared1

When one first awakes to the fact
that in his natural state he is inclined
to evil as the sparks to fly upward,
and that he will be lost if he does not
change, some anxiety for self is not
only exeusable, but is the proper thing,
for "the fear of the Lord is the begin
ming of wisdom" /" though in this sense
il is not the continuation, nor the end.
When we have found out what to do
to he saved, we 90 on and do it, still
under this bondage; but after while
we get ashamed of this sOlicitude for
number one, and become more inter
ested in the welfare of others, leaving
the Lord 10 save us rs he thinks best.
We know that he will save us lust as
far and just as high as he can-thOugh
wefurther know that he cannot save
at all without our consent and coop
Grafton, having given US freedom in
this matter which he never violates.
rs there crown for me %' as
there harp~ IT'S my place among
the angels 2" All this is unbecOming
andimpOlite. Its as five rushed with
breathless anxiety up to the people
who had invited us to party, and
said, "Will you have ice cream to-
night, and will there be some for me?n
do not mean to be irreverent, nor
to shock you with what at first might
seem trifing. Far be it from me to
trifie with these matters, but we are
suffering from a kind of sentimental
ism which keeps religion out of our
daily lives, as a thing too delicate to
have any common sense in it; and
fewplain words may be of use TO some.
The truth is, the Lord can save us
a great deal better while we are doing
something useful, than while we are
thinking about ourselves or wonder
ing what our prospects for happiness
in the other world are. In fact, it is
only in doing His will that we can be
saved at all, and this does not mean
merely going to meeting. That is
luxury and q recreation, and getting
instruction how to work, and getting
warmth and impulse to work. 1t is
in six days that we must labor and do
all our wOFk-on the seventh we rest.
How smoothly and happily all
things go when we live in accordance
with the Lords laws of Order-that is
how smoothly and happily they
would go if we did and how merci-
full is the arrangement that we should
run against something disagreeable
and hurtful if they don't go right, for
this is the only way we can learn, and
every trouble saves us from something
worse.
Now friends, let us accept these
great truths:
Action is the law of life-every
kind and all kinds.
Action in accordance with the
Lords viii is Heaven.

the level ground, L turned my face
from what was 50 near my feet, and
tottered to the door. With trembling
hands and misty eyes, unlocked the
door and rushed into the street.
1t was many months before recoy-
cred from the brain fever brought on
by that terrible day. My rawlings,
have been told, were fearful; and had
any doubt existed in the minds of
men as to which of us two had been
the guilty one, those rawlings were
alone sufficient 10 establish my inno-
cence. A man in a deliriOus fever is
pretty sure to speak the truth. By
the time 1 was able to leave my
chamber, Gertrude had also grown
pale and spiritless and unlike her for
mer self. ROTTERDAM was insuppOrt-
able to me. found myself hero of
rOmance-a liOn-a thing to be stared

served to shatter my nerves still more
In short, change of air and scene was
recommended for us both; so we
Thought we could not do better than
marry, and take our wedding tour for
the sake of our healtlls. And / assure
you, reader, it did us both a great deal
of rood.

A Queer Fellow.

Many years ago in France, q labor
er by the name of DOuseIle, died while
attempting to fast forty days. He
was for long time curious sort OF
fellow, and very headstrOng and peev-
ish. His barber died seven years be-
! fore him, and from that time DOusehe
would never let a razor come near his
face. There was bridge built over
the brook which flowed through the
village. DOuselle complained of the
style of this bridge, declared that the
place where it was put was unsuitable
for a bridge, and swOre that he would
never tread upon it. He kept his
word, and whenever he had to cross
the brook he waded through it, even
in the autumn when il was swollen.
When he left his house in the morn
ing to go to work. he was accustomed
to take particular footpath. When
this fOotpath became shut up on ae-
count of house built upon it, he per-
sisted in going this way the same as
before, and climbed every morning
through the basement window Of the
house, and then went on again on the
other side.
