those who walk up and down the streets
breathing poison and death to- the good

They, by mysterious hints, or even
knowing winls and whispers, circulate
reports against the character of vir-
tuous female or an honorable man.
How many hopes have been blasted by
a surmise ? How many hearts have
been bruised by whispers? How many
! charitable deeds have been blasted ant

in this wise of what men lose for the

Der of obscure men, who have only re-
manned in obscurity because their I'll

A AOVELTY,


From the st. Joseph Gazette. MayL
We heard yesterday good joke on the
steward of the steamer H. 8. Turner, which
passed up on Friday last. 1t seems that
gentleman and wife had taken passage on
the boat at st. Louis, and during the trip
the lady became very unwe !, and for some
two or three days was unable to eat any
thing. The steward took the matter con.
siderably to heart, thinking that possibly
the daily fare served up at the table might
not suit her taste, and, after worrying about
1t awhile. concluded he would try and serve
up something the lady could eat. Accord
iDgly, availing himself of the first opportu-
nifty, be consulted the husband on the sub.
ject. The latter stated that his wife was
exceedingly fond of birds, and that if nice
bird of some kind could be procured, he
thought she would eat it.
Actlng upon the suggestion, the steward
Immediately Instituted gorous il Quiries at
each landing for something in the bird line
His efforts were for some time unsuccessful,
but at length, one evening, he joy:ully an
nounced to the husband that he had some
thing for the lady to eat, and at the same
time produced a dish containing three small
birds broiled, on toast. The savory meat
was at once conveyed 10 the invalid's state
room, and, to the great delight of the hus-
band, she manifested returning appetite by
eating the entire contents Of the dish. No
man was more perfectly pleased than the
steward.
Next morning, however, singular dis
cOvery was made. The lady had shipped at
81. Louis three beautiful Canary birds, all
fine singers, whose melody each morning
had proved source of great pleasure to her
during her illness. She suddenly failed to
hear their notes, and sending her husband
to ascertain the reason, the cage was found
to be empty. I. quires were at once ipsti-
tuted, and after little pressing it leaked
ont from the steward that the delicious
birds, so highly relished by the invalid the
previous evening, were nothing more nor
less than her three Canaries. The steward
was determined to maintain the reputation
Of his table at all hazards.
