A Curious Incident.
WTHO can say, after reading this lit
w tie story, that truth is not nearly

NHO can say, after reading this lit
w tie story, that truth is not nearly
as strange as fiction:
A young man mechanic by trade,
passed the evening in Brooklyn, about
six weeks ago, and was returning to New
York on the ferry boat at twelve ninety
nine out of every one hundred persons
always rush directly through boat to
the end nearest their destination, but this
youth remained on the after part till it
touched the dock, when he passed through
the ladies' sitting-room and observed on
a seat ladys satchel and umbrella
Every one was fastening off the boat
there were but three or four ladies in the
whole party, so the young man seized the
satchel and umbrella and hurried after
the receding passengers. Holding both
articles aloft, he hurriedly questioned
several people. To none of those be-
longed the property he had taken posses
sion Of
After waiting about the ferry house
some time he took the captured articles
home. Of course he expected that they
would he speedily advertised for the
satchel, which was locked, and the UNI
brella, were well worth some reward But
day after day passed-no advertisement
appeared and he procured key and
opened little bag, which contained
$4,000 in government bonds, (unregister-
ed), portemonnaie holding 800 in cur
rency, a splendid gold watch and chain,
containing an elderly mans portrait, a
locket, a slip of paper, and having thereon
in female hand written these words ;"
have waited and waited; you do not come
and have ceased to hope. i. p" Upon
IL marginal piece Of some foreign newspa-
per was the name of hotel in New York
that does not exist. The young man
consulted headquarters, and he went
daily to the Morgue for some female to
come ashore, but now two months have
gone by, and no trace of the owner has
been found.
1t is only by one of three suppositions
this mysterious satchel can be accounted
for. Either murder, suicide, or sudden
insanity has overtaken the unfortunate
owner. In the meantime the custodian
of the unexpected fortune is half out of
his wits with the embarrassment that be-
sets his position.

You're Welcome.

A countryman at the theatre the other
night, as the escort Of some ladies' retired
at an intermission and returned with a
pound or two of peanuts wrapped in u
paper, and two huge bananas sticking
from his pocket. Just, then, however,
and before he had time to take lis seat,
one of the actresses who had won his ad-
miration, came to the footlights and
warbled beautiful melody. The full,
rich voice, exquisite intonation and
breathing strains almost divine, capti-
waited the countryman's heart, and unable
to restrain his delight, he heaved on
the stage his peanuts, bananas and pocket
handkerchief as tribute to the fair en-
chantress. There was a momentary as
tonishment visible on the face on the
stage, single interval of hesitation,
which was removed by the countryman's
voice full and clear, Take 'em, gal, by
jingo; you're welcome"

OmniScience.

Laylayette, the friend and ally of
Washington, was in his youth confined
in French dungeon, in the door of his
cell there was cut small hole just big
enough for mans eye; at that hole a
sentinel was placed, whose duty it was to
watch moment by moment till he was re-
lieved by the change of guard All he
could see was the winking, but the eye
was always there look when he would it
met his gaze. In his dreams he was
conscious it was staring at him. "Oh,"
he says, 1T was horrible there was no
escape when he lay down and when he
rose up, when he ate, and when he read
that eye searched him." So Gods eye is
upon each of us, from the very first breath
that We draw to the very last.

years ago. There was great drouth,
and the corn crop in particular was sut-

The Midnight Supper.

IN emplary Christian, but her husband
was lover OF sinful pleasure When
spending an evening, as usual, with his
jovlal companions, at tavern the CONVEX
sation happened to turn on the excellen-
cies and faults Of their wives the hus-
band just mentioned pronounced the
highest encomiums on his wife, saving
she was all that was excellent, only she
was a Methodist Notwithstanding
which" said he, "such is the command
which she has of her temper that we're
l to take you, gentlemen, home with me
at midnight, and order her to rise and
get you supper, she would be all sub
mission and cheelfuness.
The company regarded this merely as
vain boast, and dared him to make the
experiment by considerable wager.
The bargain was made, and about mid
night the company diourned, as proposed.
Being admitted, "Where is is your mis-
tress :" said the husband to the maid
servant who sat up for him.
She is gone to bed sir"
Call her up" said he. "Tell her
have brought some friends with me, and
that desire she would get up and prepare
them a supper"
The good woman obeyed the unreason-
able summons dressed, came down re-
ceived the guests with perfect civility,
and told them she happened to have some
chickens ready cooked, and that supper
should be got as soon as possible. 1t was
accordingly served up, when she perform
ed the honors ofthe table with as much
cheerfullness as if she had expected com
pany at the proper season.
After supper, the guests could not re-
frain from expressing their astonishment.
One of them particularly, more sober than
the rest, thus addressed himself to the
lady; Madam" said he, '.your civility
fills us with astonshment. Our unreason-
able visit is the consequence of wager,
which we have certainly lost. AS you
are very religious person, and cannot
therefore approve of our conduct, give me
leave to ask, what can possibly induce
you to behave with so much kindness to
us 7"
Sir" replied she, when l married
my husband and myself were both un-
converted it has pleased God to call me
out of that dangerous condition. My
husband continues in it. l tremble for
his future state. Were he to die as he
is, he must be miserable forever; l think
it, therefore, my duty to do all l can to
make him as happy as possible in this
life"
This wise and faithful reply affected the
whole company. 1t left deep impress
sion on the husbands mind, "Do you
my dear" said he, "really think / should
be eternally miserable? l thank you
for the warning. BY the grace of God
l will change my conduct" From that
time he became another man, serious
Christian, and consequently good hus-
band

A Curious Question.

a correspondent inquiries " Suppose a
man and girl were to get married: the
man is thirty-fve years old, and the girl
five years this makes the man seven
times as old as the girl and they live
together until the girl is ten years old
this makes the man forty years old, and
four times as old as the girl: and they
still live until she is fifteen, the man
would be forty-fve, and this makes him
three times as old; and they still live un-
til she is fifteen, the man would be forty
five, and this makes him three times as
old ; and they still live on till the man is
twice as old, and so on. Now, how long
would they have to live to make the girl
as old as the man, at the same rate OF
reason?"

the eye could reach. They were OF the large

several lighted on the buildings, rested. and
then resumed their journey.
This brilliant bow of winged flowers span
