LupIcRoUs SCENE.

Two sprightly and beautiful young
ladies were visiting their cousin, another
sprigh:y and beautiful young lady, who
like her guests, was of a happy age
which tans everything into fun and mer
rirnent IF the truth we're tod, we fea,
we should have to record the fact thai
these three misses were just little fast
They We're fond of practical jokes. and
were Continually playing all sorts OF
pranks with each other All three occu-
pied a room on the ground floor and slept
in one bed ..
Two of the young ladies attended a
party on the night in question, and did
not get home until twe!se-th thirty o'clock
at night. As it WAS late. they conclud-
ed not to disturb the household, SO they
very quietly stepped into their room
through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they had
left for the party a young Methodist
minister called at the house where they
were staying and craved right odging,
which, Of course, was granted. AS min
listers always have the best of everything
the old lady pnt him to sleep in the best
room, and the young lady Fanny who
had not gone to the party, was entrusted
with the duty of sitting up for the absent
ones. and inform them Of the change of
rooms. She took up her post in the par
lor, and as the night was sultyy, sleep
soon overlook her, and she departed on
an excursion to the land of dreams
We will now return to the young hrdies
who had gone to their room through the
window By the dim light Of the moon
beams, as they struggled through the
curtains, the young ladies were able
to descry the outlines of Fanny. as they
supposed, ensconced in the middle of the
bed. They saw more, to wit: a pair
of boots. The truth flashed upon them
at once. They saw it all. Fanny had
set the boots in the room to give them a
scare
They put their heals together and de
termined to turn the tables on her ST.
lently they disrcbod. and stealthily as
cats they took up their positions on each
side of the bed. At given signal they
both jumped into bed, one on each side
of the unconscious parson, laughing and
screaming "Oh, what a minl Oh,
what a man y They gave the poor be-
wildered minister such promiscuous
hugging and tustling Is few persons are
able to brag of in a lifetime.
The noise of the proceedings awoke
tue OLD lady, who was sleeping in an ad
joining room. She apprehended the sit
uation and rushed to the room, opened
the door, and exclaimed
Gracious, gals, it is a man-it is a
man sure enough
There was one prolonged, consolidat-
ed scream, fash of muslin through the
door, and all was over. The best of the
iol, "a i that the 1ninistAr tocE the whole
thing in earnest He would listen to no
apologies the old lady could make for the
girls He would hear no excuses, but
solemnly folded his clerical robes about
him and silently stole away

There is always to be found lurking

many instances escaped the meshes of

sneak thief. In his company was man

forlorn story. He had been robbed of a

to be one w. T. Snodgrass, whose

themselves with comments soto roce on

The lingering twilight's saffron cloak
$3.50 Trails O er the dusky west,

Chime in the hour of rest.
From fallow fields and woody dells
The crickets chirp their pleaealt lays;

His loaded vain the peddler props,
Beneath the tavern caves.
A happy hush, a tranquil balm,
AS if the week day work and care
Were lifted of, and left US calm,
Perrade rho quiet air.
A sense as of II silent psalm,
A feeling as of prayer.
For now the night, with soft delay
Seems brooding like a tender dove,
While the last hours of Saturday
Shut in the hours of love,
And the sweet Sabbath spans the way
To holier homes above.

Few days of Sabbath rest;

Rolling up his sleeves he stepped into the
middle of the room, and in tone of voice
that secured marked attention said:

BEAur1FUL THOUGHT. There is but
breath of air and beat of the heart between
this world and the next And in the brief
interval of a painful aud awful suspense,
while we feel that death is with us that We
a'e powerless, and he allpowerful, and the
last faint pulsation here is but the prelude
of endless life hereafter, we feel in the midst
Of running calamity about to befall us, that
earth has no compromising good to the sever
ity of our loss. But there is no grief with
out some benefcient provisions to soften Its
intensities. When the good and the lovely
die, the memory of their good deeds, like
the moons on the stormy sea, lights up our
darkened hearts. and lends to the surround
ing beauty so sad, SO sweet. that we would
NOT, if we could, dispel the darkness that
enyirons US
