A WhaIer,s COurtshiD.

He had been a whaler for twenty
years, and when he gave up the sea and
settled upon his earnings, all his friends
said they hoped Jonathan Weeks
would marry some nice woman INC en-
joy the comforts of a happy home. He
himself seemed to think it would De a
nice thing to do, and he made an effort
in that direction. But they all said that
the reason he did not win the heart and
hand of Widow Burritt was this: 1t
seems hat Mr.. Weeks used to go
around there counting and so on, in the
evenings, and while the widow sat
patching the rowsers of her son., and
waiting for manifestations of Weeks's
love, old Weeks would sit over on the
s~ettee, getting sleeper and sleeper,
and quieter every minute. And every
now and hen he would nod in the land
of dreams, and get to wandering off and
imagining himself away on a whaling
voyage, wake up suddenly all bewilder-
ed, and would seize his cane and lab it
into the widow before he could collect
his senses sufficier thy to realize that it
was not a harpoon and she a whale.
They do say that Mrs. Burritt INDUCED
these eccentricities for a time with the
firm conviction hat she would recon
struct him when she married him. But
this was never to be. One evening, Mr..
Weeks, as usual, sat doing on the set
tee, with a kind of dim, dreary con-
sciousness of things, in which the room
and settee were confused and mixed
with the raging main and the whaling
boat. The widow had a cold in her
head, and she was just in the act of
making a vigorous use of her handker-
chief, when a dream of Weeks's reached
a crisis and he yelled, "Ther.r-r-e she
blows ~ and he heaved his harpoon at
her with such force that he broke her
back comb into vulgar fractions and
knocked her off her chair. Loves
young dream was entirely d~issipated,
and Mr.. Weeks went home with two
handfuls of hair missing. He is single
yet, because he says women have no
sympathy and no forbearance.

A POpnIar Investment.

The First Mortgage Bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad have now won O position as
the leading railroad security in our market.
No other Bond is selling with anything like
the rapidity which Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co.
report for these, none is based on an enter
prise of so much Importance to the country,
and none combines in so large a measure the
dement's of security and profit. Central
Pacific Bonds are based only on a railroad
without any other property, and bear only
sir per cent interest, yet they are selling at
103. Northern Pacific Bonds, on the other
hand, are a first lien on a railroad having
immense advantages in the matter of dis
lance, grades, cost of construction, &C., over
any other line, and in addition are a first
mortgage on the enormous land-grant of the
company, amounting to more than fifty
million acres of the most valu able lands in
the Northwest. Northern Pacific Bonds, in
fact, combine the security of a real-estate
mortgage with the convenience of a railway
bond, ana are more profitable than any other
similar investment. For 80 years to come
they bear interest at the rate of Z $40 per
cent. per annum, in Gold, yet they are
offered now at par and accrued interest in
currency.-Con.

A Bad Memory.

1t is a bad thing to have a defective
memory. A Rev. Mr. Cudworth, of
Boston, was lecturing a few evenings
since in East Boston, when, in the
midst of his lecture, he suddenly re-
membered hat he had promised to
marry a couple in his own church at
that hour, and asked for fifteen minutes
leave of absence. 1t was granted, and
the organist filed in the time by play
ing the "Wedding March," The cou-
pie and their friends were found impa-
tiently awaiting the minister; the
sacred knot was tied in a great hurry,
and the ministerial lecturer pocketed
his fee and ran breathlessly to take up
the thread of his discourse where he
had SO suddenly snapped it.

The SfO1nn Pass

An editor in Harrisburg lost his pass
on the railroad, and requested the Off
GERS OF the road to azure the arrest Of
any man who should present it. The
next day he found the pass in the
pocket of his Sunday trowsers, and pro-
ceeded to take a trip upon it. AS soon
as he offered it the conductor, that
faithful officer knocked him on the
head with his lantern, called in three
brakemen and the baggage-master,
dragged him, despite his frantic strug-
giles, along the floor into the baggage
car, where a brakeman sat on him while
the conductor battered him up a lot to
keep him quiet; and they searched him
to ascertain what other thefts he had
been perpetrating. With the exception
of a ticket to the circus that man had
upon his person absolutely nothing but
railroad passes He had passes over
all the main roads and branch lines,
and feeders and sidings, in the State of
PENNSYLVANIA. He had free tickets
over all the railroads in the Eastern,
Southern, Middle and Western States,
and in four of the Territories. He had
a pass over a railroad from Yeddo to
Yokohoma, and another from Calcutta
