PLEASANT SURPRISE
TON Last Tuesday was the 34th
birthday of our worthy friend, Dan.
W. johnson, and when darkness
covered the earth" on the evening
of that day, a large number Of his
friends repaired to bis residence
on Finley street, with baskets we'll
filled, and on stating the object to
his wife, she gave them free use
of her dining room. When Dan.
came home from cup town" he was
surprised to see 80 many of his
friends and neighbors, and his sur
prise increased when he was es-
corted to the dining room, and
looked at the we'll filled table, and
requested to take seat at the
head. He did not hesitate to obey
the order, for Daniel is around
when there is anything good to eat.
After the supper had been fully
discussed, a mysterious package.
Of huge dimensions was brought
into the room, which did not Lessen
Dams establishment. Father COnk>
lin, with the gravity for which he
is noted, "arose to explain" He
remarked:
"Mr. johnson, ladies and gentle.
men-You all know that I am not
much of speaker, but being Coun-
Gilman from the Second Ward, our
mutual friends have imposed upon
me the pleasant duty Of presenting
you, on their behalf; slight me-
mento Of their esteem for you as a
neighbor and citizen. Knowing
that you are "some'' on the hunt,
they have procured, regardless of
expense, double barreled shot
gun, Of the most exquisite make,
q dog that was never known to
'set'' where there was not game, q
game bag Of rare beauty, and all
the other paraphernalia necessary
TO q complete outfit that any Nim-
rod might'well be proud of. They
have also procured a complete suit
of clothing adapted to the "chase. !"
They hope you will accept the
presents in the spirit in which they
are presented-as a testimonial of
personal regal d-and that you may
long live to enjoy them.
Daniel was completely taken by
surprise, but regained his compo-
sure in a few minutes, and accept
ed the presents in few we'll timed
remarks, after which the guests
had q good time until the approach

"Who is that man p he inquired of
the foreman, who was Snowman at the
moment The man inquired about
looked scarcely human. He was stunted
in figure, large in face, and hideOus-
making all allowance for the putting out
of his cheeks, as he blew vigorously at
the end of the long pipe he was twirling
in his baboon-like hands.
THAT poor fellow, sir? His name is
Middleton. He is a half-wit-indeed,
very nearly a complete idiot. He is
just able to do what you see-blow the
coarsest sort of glass
Mr.. Quincy wished to speak with him;
and the poor creature was summoned.
He came, grinning; and he grinned yet
more when he was requested to show
the glasshouse to the gentleman. Mrs
Wharton, with her veil down, hung on
her friends arm and they followed the
idiot, who was remarkably light-footed
for a Wonder), to the place hewas most
fond Of He took them down to the an
healing chamber; and then he observed
that it was "a nice warm place o. nights
Being asked how he knew that, he be-
gan pointing with his finger at Mrs.
Wharton, and peeping under her bon
net. Being advised to look him in the
face, she raised her veil; and he snig-
gled and giggled, and said he had seen
her many time when she was asleep,
and many time when she was awake ;;
and another lady, too, who was not
there. He hid himself down here when
the other men went away-it was so
warm and then he could go when he
pleased, and see ftke1- there and the
other, when they were asleep. Mr.. Cur
ney enticed him to whisper how he
managed it; and then, with an air of
silly cunning. he showed a little square
trap-dooT in the wall, close by the floor,
through which he said he passed. It
seemed too small for the purpose but
he crept in and out again. On the other
side, he declared was Mrs. Wharton's
cellar It was so. Far distant as the
glasshouse seemed from her house; it
ran back so far, the cellar running back
also, that they met No time was lost
in sending round to the cellar and, by
conversation held through the trap
door, it was asceItained that when Mrs.
Wharton's stock of Goals was low, that
is, IN summer, and before a fresh sup
ply came in in mid-winter, Middleton
could get in, and did get in, almost
every night. When he did not appear.
it was only because the Goals covered
the trap-door.
Who shall say with what satisfaction
the ladies watched the mailing up of the
trap-door, and with what a sense of bliss
full comfort they retired to rest hence
forth Who shall estimate the COM
placency of the good clergyman at this
complete solution Of the greatest mystery
he had ever encountered? Who will
not honor the courage and fortitude of
the ladies, and rejoice that their dwelling
escaped the evil reputation of being
Haunted House? Lastly, who will not
say that most of the goblin tales extant
may, if inquired into, be as easily ac-
counted for as that appertaining to the
good Mrs. Wharton which has this ad-
vantage over all other ghost stories it
is perfectly and literally true.

HORTICULTURAL SCHOOL FOR
WOMEN.

Among the good things inauguratad
bv the Women's Club in Boston, says
Old and Nez0, is the Horticultural
School for Women. The plan was for
a considerable time on paper only; but
the outlines drawn, the best authorities
were consulted for the filing out. Two
years elapsed after the proposition be-
fore an attempt was mas made to orealize
it; and it was not until last spring,
when it seemed necessary to make the
intention fact or drop it, that a local
habitation was given to the name.
The place hired for the use of the
school lat a rent of 81 200 a year, IS on
the shore of Baptist Pond, Newton Cen
tire, Mass, near the depot OF the Hart
ford & Erie Railroad. The house is in
good condition, warmed by steam, and
is capable of accommodating eighteen
scholars. The greenhouse, sixty by
twenty-one feet, has a new addition,
built in a zU0rlE E-zU0nlanlflke manner, the
boards being nailed on, and the glazing
done by the girls. This is seventeen
feet square. The whole inclOsure con
tains 8, 500 plants, all of which, after
being set, have been plotted once, and
most of them twice, involving a large
amount of work, Since the middle Of
July the table has been abundantly sup
Piled with vegetables from the garden.
The hour for breakfast is half-past y;
the next half hour is free thence, till
noon, work in the garden or green
house by one and all. From I to is
the leisure hour. From 2 to 8, except
Saturdays, a lecture IS delivered in the
school room. The blackboard is used
each lecture, the drawings being plants
variously pruned. Each pupil takes
notes of the lectures, and makes a rec
ord also of each days work; thus OBJ
tanning a most useful handbook for fll-
ture summers. From 3 to A, there is a
class in bouquet-making fower-pacldng,
or some other department, in which all
can be instructed at once. From a, in
summer, until nearly dark, the out-of-
door work is continued with an inter-
ruption at 8 for tea.
'How do you spend your evenings
is a question that has been asked these
ladies so often, and with so evident a
yawning, that they desire an explicit
statement to be made. The necessary
materials were not, however, gathered
for this; but the impression conveyed of
the evening hour was so pleasant as to
awaken the desire, had it been practica-
bic, to see for myself. They do, how
ever, confess reluctantly, since it is not
in the line of their profession, to feel the
need of a piano.

A glass of whisky is manufactured
from about seventy grains Of corn, the
value of which is too small to be estinna-
ted. A glass of this mixture sells for a
dime, and, if good brand, is considered
worth the money. II is drank in a min
ute or two. It fires the brain, deranges
and weakens the physical system. On
the same sideboard on which the dele
terious beverage is served lies a news
paper. 1t is covered with half million
type-it brings intelligence from the four
quarters of the globe. The newspaper
costs less than the glass of grog, but it
is not less true than there is a large num-
Der of people who think corn juice cheap
and newspapers dear The. newspaper
is a source Of pleasure and enlghten-
ment to the home circle, as the family
are gathered around the bright-glowing
fire on a winter evening and the results
of newspaper reading prove beneficial
through life.

From the st. Louis NALL
OVER THE CRADLE.
By MRS. ANNIE HOWE rHO4sox.

Ny dear little babe is lying
Here in his doWny bed,
With the Whitest and sOftest of pillows,
Under his shining head;
With his two little plump hands folded.
And the warmest of quilts and blankets
Costly tucking him In.
The room is 50 cheerful and pleasant,
With the light from lamp and IRE,
Dancing Ger 6ooKs and pictures
As II II would never tire;
And over the face Of my darling
Nestled 50 snug In his bed
Lingering as If in blessings,
Here on his golden head
without there is storm and darkness,
And winds that so angFily roar,
With the sound of the wild waves dashing
Up on the rOck-bound shore;
And the noise OF the tall trees shrieking,
AS II in the nerceSt pain,
With the beating against my windows
OF the wings OF the tireless rain
AIasI fO= the Door little children,
Ont in the fearful storm,
And, oh foi the baby wanting
A nest, like my darling's, warm;
For the poos little waits that wander,
Over each frozen street,
Ragged, and cold, and hungry,
With shoeless, and frosted feet.
No father, perchance no mother,
To gather the poor La mbs in;
No home or no hand to lead them,
Out of the ways of sia;
No word of eDdearment falling,
From lips tnat We=e formed 70 bless;
No hymn, or prayer DER their slumber,
No kiss or tender earess.
0 woe for The suffering children.
Alasi that their tender b. oom
Should fade in the dew of their morning,
Their days be mantIed in gloom,
When al that is fair and lovely,
And all th8t'S fragrant aud sweet,
Should spring as the blossoms OF sum- mer,
Under Ihe-r tiny feet.
Win heart overlooking with praises,
Deeper than WO-ds can speak,
i bend Der the couch of my darling,
Kissing his brow and cheek;
Marking his gentle breathings,
Sleeping 50 sWeet.y and warm,
Sheltered from care and sorrow,
safe fIOm me cold and SsOrm.
o, what IL ihis face were Pallid,
From sorrow, and want, and woe,
And these dear little feet were plunging,
Tonight through the drifts OF snow
And these red ripe / Ils we've purpIed
With The gHaW wings of munger and pain,
And these beau ful bright locks dripping
And damp with the chilling rain.
How smooth and nnrufiled this forehead,
How peaceful is this epose,
While health with her full rich Gu rent
In every feature gloWs,
And the smile on this sweet lace resting,
The angels must joy 10 see;
And these are Thy dOings, Fathe,,
This is Thy love for me.
Help me, Oh Righteous Father,
Some humble return 10 show,
By eariag for those who're walk k-ng,

If mine is ell gOldened with sunshine
May I withhold no ray,
That could comfo- their hearts in sorrow,

PUZZLES.


One of the ancients, it is said, died Of
chagrin at not being able to guess a
riddle propounded by a fisherman !:
Leaving what's taken, what we took
not we bring" Aristotle was amazingly
perplexed, and Philetas, the celebrated
grammarian and poet of Cos. puzzled
himself to death in fruitless endeavors
to solve the sophism called by the
ancients "the har." "If you say Of
yourself, I lie, and in so saying tell the
truth, you lie. Ifyou say, 1 lie. and in
so saying, tell lie, you tell the truth. "
Mrs. Barbauld says Finding out rid
dies is the same kind of exercise for the
mind as running, leaping and wrestling
are for the body. They are of no use in
themselves; they are not work, but
play but they prepare the body, and
make it alert and active for anything il
may be called upon to perform.

A FRENCH HERO.-sDOOR FEL-

ERR

Heroism still exists in the world, and
exists in the humblest ranks of life. On
October 9Th, chloroform had begun to
give out in Metz. The wounded were
pouring in, but so little was in the med
ical stores that the surgeons were obliged
to economic it for the serious cases. "A
foot chasseur of the guard was brought
into the operating room. His hand was
crushed and it became necessary to re-
move the fifth metacarpal bone, the sup
port of the little finger. He came on
foot. He would not leave his musket,
which he had slung by the bandoleer.
well, my friend, said the surgeon,

here. II know, monsieur; that's why l
came here" ''Do you want to be put

He stuck his poor blue cravat, all bloody
as it was, between his teeth, lay down
and stretched out his hand. The opera
ton was performed. did you suffer
much r. ''You bet ! did but what's
that ? Poor fellows must help each 9TH

foot soldier matches the tale Of Sir
Philip Sidney's generous self.denial on
the field of Zutphen.
