TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A Hat.

A Smart Young Man Tackles Broad
way Hatter---Gets Out with Three
Hats.
Yesterday two well dressed young
men entered the store of Burke, the
halter, corner of Fulton street and
Broadway. One of them asked to look
at felt hat. A number of hats were
produced and laid along the counter
Among them was very superior aItl-
Gle which the shopman said be could
not sell under IS. After looking at
several hats, the young man took off
his hat and in careless way placed it
on the counter over the So one. He
then fitted on 50 and said he thought
that would do. He took out well fill
ed pocketbook and handed Burk s shop
man two dollar bill. Then lifting up
his own hat, with the So hat inside, he
said
"Say young fellow, give me some
paper to wray my old hat H..
The shopman said, Certainly" and
handed him a newspaper. The young
man wrapped up the parcel, and the
two young men left.
As soon as they were gone, the shop
man put on his hat and followed them
several blocks, until at the corner of
Chambers street he saw policeman.
Then tapping the young man carrying
the parcel, on the arm, the shopman
said
Excuse me, sir, but l think you did
not pay me for that hat"
"Why, of course I did, replied the
young man, taking the hat off his head
and looking at it,
81 don't mean that hat" said the
shopman, :" mean the hat you have
under your ARM"
Why, that's my old hat" exclaim-
ed the young man.
q dontmean your old hat, answer
ed the shopman, ''but the hat inside
your old hat which you took by mis-
take. The price . that hat, sir, inside
your old hat under your arm, is twenty
dollars-paid at once. p"
The young man looked at the shop
man, and then at the policeman who
stood at the corner. The young man
took out his purse, and with exceed
ing courtesy handed two ten dollar bills
to the shopman.

Spiritual HOcuSpOcuS.

More Spiritualism. On the oath.
of last March, in Portland, Me, Mr.
Woodman fell through the scuttle of
his store, wrenched his ribs out of
place twisted his spine, and " displaced
one of his intestines. He was put to
bed, and everybody was expecting him
to expire. But he "was poulticed ac-
cording to spiritual direction and the
ghosts of two doctors, and of woman
named Amanda, ministered unto him,
in an odd enough way, by raising him
from his bed, twirllng him in the air,
dressing him and walking him about
the room, lifting him into bed again,
singing to him "angelic music, Mrs.
Woodman playing piano accompani-
ment. The spirits informed those IN
attendance that they We're giving the
patiene spiritual medicines, and APP
plying spiritual steam and shower
baths. The sick man was thirsty, and
down from the ceiling came a spiritual
goblet, suspended by thread, and with
spiritual water in it. The vessel stop
ped at his mouth, and sits contents
were administered by unseen hands, he
complaining that the water was bitter,
and tasted of tansy. Meanwhile, all
sorts of side shows We're going on in
the room. Colored lights were seen.
The medium, DIR. Hopkins, was carried
three times around the apartment.
The sick mans mothers ghost showed
herself ain full costume. And there
was a strange ghost with whom nobody
was acquainted. One day sixteen
spirits carried the poor patient into the
entry, Then they balanced him on
/ the foot board. One attendant who
was rubbing the injured man was
seized and carried some distance, F"
probably because lac did not rub nicely.
! Finally, the man with the damaged
back and ribs, has now as good back
/ and AS well set ribs as any person IN
Portland If he could stand such
| treatment he must be possessed of a
strong constitution as well as strong
! back,

"She is no child of mine said the
deacon, fiercely, she chose her path
of life. let her walk therein +" Again
he laid his hands on the girl and would
have dragged hor to the door, but Mrs
Haines stepped before him. Her face
was white as death, and every vein
stood out like cords upon her forehead.
"Deacon Haines," said she, "do
this thing, and though you were thrice
my husband, l will not remain under
your roof one moment after she is
thrust out and may God Judge be-
tween us
Just then, while the deacon, paralyz-
ed with amazement, stood motioniess
| before his wife, the little child crept to
his side and put two warm, soft hands
around his hard fingers. The sweet,
grieved face, with the soft blue eyes
! lifted to his stern countenance, might
have melted anything but strong hu-
man heart.
"Grandpapa, said she, "please
/ don't hurt poor mamma She is sick,
and she has come so far in the cold ~
"Grandpapa 1.-THE word he had
never expected to hear addressed to
himself.
His memory went back over half a
century, and more, to the grey-haired
man he had called grandpa-the man
who was always kind to him, who pet
ted him, and made him whistles and
wooden horses, and told him quaint
stories OF the old, old times when the
country was new, and bears and Indi-
] q, To
membered when he stood by that kind
old mans death bed, and felt the with
cred, trembling hand-he remembered
the grieving tones of the falling voice
which said
Gods blessing upon you, John !
and when you, too, lie down to die,
may your grandchildren stand around
your bed, and comfort you in your last
hours !"
This aged man had died and gone to
Heaven, through faith III Jesus, and
not through faith in his own deeds
and how was it with him ?
The deacon shrank from the inspec-
ton. For one moment, with that child's
clear eye upon him, he saw himself as
he was-a hard, unyielding, unmerciful
man-dead in trespasses and sin.
He sank down on his knees, and
buried his face in the clustering golden
hair of his wondering grandchild.
Martial he cried bitterly, 81

as you willard may God show me the
mercy / have never shown to my fell

Emma Clayton lived, though she was
never very strong; but never was a
daughter loved and cared for bya father
as she was. And little Annie was in
sore danger of being spoiled by the in
diligence of her grandfather.
Everybody noticed the great change
in the deacon-he grew humble and
forgiving, and his prayers in the pub
lie meetings were no longer full of vim
dictiye threatenings hurled at the sin
ner, but were rich in mild persuasions
and gentle intimations to try the good
ness of God.
Royal Clayton was dead and Emma
lived always with hex father. Every
thing was forgotten--everythlng forgot
ten except the love which united the
family ever after in bond of unbroken
peace.

A b,Ithe old earle is Christmas;
You cannot find his fellow;
Match me the hale red rose in his cheek,
Or the heart SO mild and mellow
The glitter Of glory iu his eyes,
While the wassail-cnp he qnafs,
Or the hnmor that wrinkles about his wrinkie
As helplessly he laughs.
Ofar Hieh-Tides It's Christmas
Most richly crowns the year;
Right through the land there rippes ana runs
Its food OF merry good cheer
Troops OF friends come sailing down,
Making pleasant din;
Fling open doors set wide your hearts
Christmas is coming In.
Abappy time IL Christmas;
We gather al at home,
And like the Christmas lalries,
With their pranks, our darlinss come;
And gentle Sylvan Spirits hid
In holly-boughs they bring,
To grow into good Angels,
And bless our fairy ring
A Jolly time Il Christmas.
For Plenty's horn is poured;
Then flows the honey OF the sun,
Our fruits all summer hoard
Merry men tall march up the hall:
They bear The meat aud drinks;
And Wine, with all its hundred eyea,
Your hearty welcome wnks,
A glorious time IL Christmas;
Young hearts win sip the tether
Lips moist aud merry, ali under the berry,
Close thrillingly together.
A gracious time the poorest Poor
win make some little show,
As nj ling infants, seeing the fun,
Wil do their best to crow
And Oh, the fire Of Christmas,
That like some Morse god sid,
Mounts bis log up chimney, and roars
Defiance 20 the cold

lie wags his beard Of flame;
II warns your very heart to soc
Him glory in the game.
A hallowed time ~ Christmas,

For eighteen hundred years ago,

Twas then our Father, in his arms,
The Blessed Babe held forth
To win back wandering human love,
