A Cheap Music Box aud the New York Union
League.

A Cheap Music Box aud the New York Union
League.
A New York correspondent of the Boston
journal writes as follows:-
In tie interior of Tennessee one of the most
tas hiunube of the Now York pictorials found
ills way In its advertising columns notice
That in Broadway first-class musical box could
ue purchased for the low price of $5. This ad-
Nertitment attracted the attention of spirited
Tennessee lady. Unable to buy a! piano, the
next best thing a music box She sent to
The house in New York, cutting out the notice,
and ordered the instrument to be sent by ex-
press, G. o. d. In due time letter was re
ceiyed declining to fill the order. There wer,
so many dishonest people in the country, tn
letter said, who ordered goods and when they
were sent refused to take them thus throwing
the express charges on the house, that rule had
been adopted to send no goods
unless money accompanied the order
not much, but enough to secure the
paying of the expenses The price of the in
strument was So. The whole conld be sent or
any part of it. The lady mailed 81, and in due
time the instrument arrived per express, with
the BILL $5-$1 credit, $4 due --seventy-fve
cents express charges, all of which was duly
paid. On unpacking the box little pewter
whistle was found inside, such as children play
on with the mouth worth about ten cents. The
Nictimized lady placed all the papers together,
and with n spirited letter that would have done
credit to the intensest female Rebel In the war,
sent them to General Kennedy, Superintendent
of Police. He knew that the Parties could not
be found at the place addressed; so he puta watch
over the Post Office tracked the tricksterS to
their d. n, and demanded aud received back allthe
money. which was sent to the victim in Tennessee.
reply soon came back full of gratitude and
with some statements about the suiferings of the
woman herself in the Union cause during the
war. Her statements confirmed by letter
from the Postmaster. This correspondence was
taken by General Kennedy to the Loyal League
Club. 1t was read amid great applause, and it
was unanimously decided to send to the loyal
widow in Tennessee, on behalf of the Loyal
League a music-box such as she thought she
had purchased. A fine one, for $50, was selected.
When the importer knew the destination he de-
Quoted one-half. John Hoey franked the instru-
ment to its destination. The letter in acknow-
ledgment of the receipt contained graphic
account of the astonishment of the people In
the South that a lady sin the back woods OF

York and that New York official could be
gentleman, Union man, and man of honor
at the same time.

speaks as she would to any other class,
with perhaps little more emphatic enun-
cistion, and a little more pronounced
movement of the lips; every eye is fixed
upon her face, and when she has spoken
the word, every eye is turned on the
blackboard, and if the boy there has failed
to understand, and points to the wrong
word, the little hands go up eagerly to
correct the mistake. Then the blackboard
is cleaned, and they write words and SEN
tences from dictation. They learn very
quickly to understand the motion of the
lips, and those who articulate most dis
tinctly are able to talk little with their
teachers. Having once seen this school 1t

A Model Doctor.

STEVENS, of Massachusetts, was one of
those who had rather risk being disturbed
at nights for an insignificant complaint,
than to expose himself to the necessity of
putting to tho debt of his conscience a
dead body that he might have conjured
into life. He related to me some very
amusing facts and of q nature to excuse,
to certain point, the under-forwardness
that certain physicians show to disturb
their sleep for unknown patients.
One night, big fellow of q lackey,
gilt-edged and laced all over, pulled the
6ell violently at the doctors door.
1t was winter. It fro1e 80 hard that 1t
would have made q white bear shiYer.
Three o'clock had just struck.
The lackey came, in absence OF the
ordinary physician of his mistress, Madam
R, to claim the immediate cares of
the doctor. The case was urgent; there
was not a moment to be lost.
Fuming as he did, the doctor rose,
dressed in haste and ran-benumbed with
cold, and harassed with fatigue-to the
house of the distinguished patient.
At the first glance, he perceived that he
had to deal with distempered imagina-
tion. ....--..--.--

"HERoD."-He that puts a small value

The Spider and the Bee.

A SPIDER, living in the country, and
having followed his business for time in
an obscure corner, determined to travel q
little, for Improvement Of taste, and also
for any advantage in business which
might chance to turn up. By good for
tune he turned his steps to q flower gar
den, where were displayed thousand
blossoms, of every variety and hue. As
we always compare new things to some
thing well known before, so in his mind
he compared the colors of brilliant flow
ers to the various insects which, in his en-
tomological studies, he had become ac-
quainted with. Elated with all he saw,
he passed on, sometimes creeping, some
times throwing suspension bridge from
pier to pier of fower-staiks, until the
thought occurred to him that he had not
dined nor supped. Accordingly he looked
around for place whereon to spread his
table. For spiders are accustomed to
spread their table first, and then to sit
down on 1t, or near it, to see what fortune
will send them.
At length after several selections and
reflections, he found q saloon of the most
admirable description. 1t was nothing
less than morning glory If he had
only known the name which it bore In the
catalogues, he would, suppose, have
been still more proud than he was of his
tent. For that must be a sumptuous
flower which can boast name as long as
Spanish princess, as this did. Itwas the
LponeG hederGceG super6G gTGnds1tOrG.
Across the opening of this splendid bell the
spider stretched his web. In the morning
I first saw him there The dew was fresh
ON the leaves. He said to himself, "This
is the very cell of pleasurei There will
be enough hungry flies or other insects
coming here for honey. 1t shall be my
business to entertain them when they
come"
Alas for day-dreamsl While he was
thus fondly expecting his guests, saw q
bumblebee Of the largest size heavily
flying from blossom to blossom, from bell
to bell, and the thought crossed my mind
how queer it would be if he should visit
the spider. Sure enough, he seemed to
have caught my thought, for, in second
he carried his great blundering body right
down to the bell, through the web but
not liking it, he made of, like Sampson
| with part of his prison ON his shoulders
| Meanwhile, the spider seemed far more
alarmed than the bee, and shrunk bach
into his flower house. Misfortunes never
come single, it is said. About an houl
after this encounter, went out to SEX
| himself He and had both forgotten OBJ
thing, and that is, that on q fair summer
morning the convolvulus shuts up it
blossoms by ten o'clock. While the spidel
| lay securely inside, the edges had folded
| down and closed the opening entirely
| The flower had proved prisoni All, y
| who spin webs of evil across the places o

the simple, may your refuge prove
snare, and may you be caught in the yer.
net which you spread for others.
