A Jumping Match.

A young man-who relates the story
himself-who fought but did not die, at
both Antietam and Gettysburg, went into
Providence on foot, with some small ar
ticles for sale. One night, just before
the sable curtains of evening were being
lowered upon him, he applied at very
respectable looking house for entertain
ment. He was very kindly received by
a young lady, who happened to be the
only one of the family at home, with
whom he partook of the evening meal,
and to our hero everything seemed to be
going "merry as marriage bell" 1t
seems however, that the young lady began
to suspect that in " entertaining a strang-
err" she had not entertained {" an angel" !"

station for trial. At two bounds he near

with all feminine fascination imaginable,
said she would open the door for him, SO
that he might have a chance to see how
much he excelled her, and took the third
leap which landed him outside of the
house. .....
The young lady instantly closed and
fastened the door, took hat, mittens, over.
