Stop Thief.

A laughable incident is related by
the Chicago EUening Journal in con-
nection with the Baptist Convention
just held in that city. The reception
Committee had been driven to their
wits end to devise means Of lodging
the ministers in attendance, and after
considerable tribulation found quar-
ters for them all, some fifteen hundred
in number. About fifty we're quarter
ed on the floor of the Chapel attached
to the University on Cottage Grove
Avenue, and succeeded in sleeping
very comfortable during five nights.
On the sixth, however, one Of the
reverend gentlemen happened to wake
up at an early hour and groped about
for his cloths, but they were gone
nothing that usually arrayed the
clerical person could be found. He
sat up in bed and scratched his head
in confusion, not fully comprehending
the situation at first. Looking
around, he discovered that Brother
BIS clothes were also absent, that
Brother Us big boots were not in
their usual place; and, in fact,
thorough examination showed that not
an article of apparel belonging to the
half hundred ministers was in the
room. Thoroughly frightened, the
unfortunate Baptist yelled Robbers
Burglars !" at the top of his voice,
and soon his companions were made
aware of the situation. The ensuing
scene can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Considerable valuable prop
erty was included with the missing
garments, such as money, watches,
railroad tickets, &c, and the situa-
tion, to the unlucky victims, was grave
in the extreme. The unclothed fifty
rushed hither and thither in the ex-
citement of the moment, vainly seek
ing something they could not find
One could not but have pitied them,
and yet their embarrassment was ludi-
crous in the extreme. They looked,
says the Journal, like a lot Of ghosts
holding grand carnival in the early
dawn. Finally the news spread, and
soon professors, students and porters
were busy devising means for dressing
up the unfortunates, but before they
had solved the difficulty presented, a
pile Of clerically cut garments was
found in an out of the way corner,
pair ofboots in another place, and the
thorough search which was then in
stituted showed that some mischieyous
college boys had played trick upon
them, and hidden their garments in
various hooks and corners about the
building. The ministers we're finally
clothed, and Wal not soon forget the
scare they received.

The Lottery Of Life.

The Boston correspondent of the
Chicago Journal tells this story: Five
years ago the wife of one of the most
prominent men of State street was a
poor seamstress. When she first came
to the city (from Maine) she worked
three weeks before receiving any pay,
and sleeping with one of her shopmates,
she borrowed money and bought bread,
having been refused regular board
without paying in advance. In order
to keep body and soul together, relent-
less work employed her all day, and
hours at night demanded that she
should ply the needle. But the most
cynical Of men approve of woman's a
good personal appearance, and this
seamstress finally managed to dress
well and pay the price of seat in an
uptown church. Her natural beauty,
coupled with spirit of wemanly inde-
pendence drew towards her friends,
and the result was that she married
one Of the wealthiest gentlemen at the
South End, against the wishes of his
friends, however, who did not like the
idea of his marrying outside Of the
circle of wealth. But Cupid cuts up
come curious tricks, sometimes. The
poor seamstress is now sitting in the
lap of afHuence, and those who know
her are inclined to envy her good luck
as she comes down town in a carriage
to do her shopping. But this sudden
change in her worldly condition has not
made her bit "stuck up" She not
only drops tear of sympathy over the
heart-sick condition of the struggling
shop-girl, but italicizes that sympathy
by donations of much cash.

The Lockport Union describes with
much feeling ga court scene of quiet
demeanor." 1t says a boy had been
arrested for the offence of picking up
some pieces of jewelry that came by
accident in his way, and when chased
running off with them. The venera-
BILE Judge Marvin called the boy to
him, and in answer to the several
questions put to the young one, he
answered that he was eleven years old
He trembled considerably as he ap-
preached, to him, the awful presence
Of the white-haired judge; but he
found that the wonted seat Of cold and
solemn judgment was q mercy seat,
and the judges eye fathers counsel
and as the Judge told him never more
to keep anything he found, always to
be a good boy, and asked him if he
would always do so, the little fellow
answered firmly, eyes SIR" and as
the boy turned and went away from
the premises of his fatherly adviser,
we thought that to boy of that age,
"Go home and be good boy" was
infinitely safer than prison bars and
that perhaps the sound of those words
would not die away for many year.,
but stay with the young prisoner and
make a man of him.
The Detroit Free Press says
"Some three months since, as a we'll
known undertaken was sitting in iron.
of his shop-door an acquaintance camo
along, and for a joke asked the under
taker what he would charge to bury
him. The man replied that he would
do it very reasonably, and-consider-
ing that it was very dull day-said
that he would bury in fine style for
thirty dollars, provided that he died
in twelve weeks. The bargain was
concluded on the spot, third party
being called TO witness, and on Mon
day the undertaken kept his share Of
the contract, the man having died
after an illness of two weeks, which
were his only sick days for twelve
years."

When together, their tongues cant

help twisting and turning and trying
They screw up their corset, bring on
