Clifford, the innocent purchaser, it
seems, was bashful, retiring old bache-

things, and having become really alarmed
at the unaccountable merriment of the
crowd, he was afraid to open his lips
again, lest he should excite another burst
of the strange humor.

All eyes were turned upon Clifford, who
looked very much as did Jerry Blossom
when he wanted to go home to his
mother
Fullerton would rather lose his Gus
toner than his joke, and with a last effort
of his initiative powers, throwing himself
into position, and literally reproducing
the flash and the tone of the impetuous,
tieryeycd Fanny, he cried
Clifford! Why don't yon speak to me:''

for tomorrow dinner, and his honor's
brothers of the bench to enjoy so dear Il
morscl. Accordingly, after the adjourn
ment of court next day, they all repaired
to his dwelling, with appetites sharpencd
by the expectation of rare rcpast.
Scarcely had they entered the sala and
exchanged the ordinary salutations, when
the lady broke forth with congratulations
to his honor upon the recovery of his
stolen watch.

this is the story: About 1 o'clock to-
day, a pale and rather interesting looking
young gentleman, dressed in a seedy suit
of black, came to the house in great
haste-almost out of breath. He said
that he was Just from court; that he was
one of the clerks; that the villain who
had the audacity to steal your honor's
watch had just been arrested; that the
evidence was nearly perfect to convict
him, and all that was required to COM

brought into court, and for that he had
been sent with a porter by your express
order"
'And you gave it to him."

those who remember Whitney will not
fail to remember 'old Torrey," his auc-
tioneer. Once upon time Torrey was
taken sick, and Whitney sent up to the
fremont Thcater for Fullerton to come
down and preside at the evening sale.
This Fullerton was wag of the first
wafer. He had, aforetime, been a favor
lite salesman of the mart, but had of late
been making himself useful among the
knights of the buskin, and was one of
Gilbert's best men for sudden make-shifts.
At this time Fanny Kemble was at the
fremont. where she had been literally
electrifying the people by her impersona-
ton of Julia in "The Hunchback," and
there was hardly man or woman in the
city, with the price of ticket to spare,
who had not seen her; and the ambitious
boys of the street, and boys of maturer
years, had repeated the celebrated lines
of .Julia's cry:
Clifford, why don't you speak to me?
o! Clifford, is ii you?' etc,
until they had become as familiar as
household words.
Fullerton had called for bids upon an
old fashioned cight-day clock, and had
run it up to ten dollars, when it hung.
"Going-going-ten dollars. Do
hear no more? Ten dollars. All done
at ten dollars?-Shall I hear fifty?-An
done ut ten?-Going -going-gone! What
name?''
There was pause. Again the auction
Ger demanded" What name? ~ upon
which timid voice upon his left an
swered-'' Clifford"
%! CHBord, Is at you ?" cried Fullerton,
dropping his hammer, and clasping his
hands, a Ia Fanny Kcmble.
The joke was irresistible. All present
and the large room was crowdcd-recog-
nizcd the imitation in Il moment; and the
audience, in token of their appreciation,
follow ed up the burst of laughter by a
round of vociferous applause.

A Clever SWindler.

ASA certain learned Judge in Mexico,

court, he thought ne would examine
whether he was in time for business, and,
feeling for his repeater, found that it was

Amusing Scene on a Street Car.

THE passengers on one of the Riker's
street cars laughed some yesterday morn
ing at a scene between the conductor and
a well-dressed young man from George
town. AS the car was passing down the
avenue, the young man at the time stand
ing on the platform taking it easy, with
one foot on trunk, he was approached
by the conductor and his fare demanded.
He quietly passed over his five cents.
Conductor demand twenty five cents
for that trunk.
Young Man y).--Twenty- five
cents Well, I think, 1 will not pay it.
Conductor.-Then shall put the trunk
off,
Young Man.-You had better not, or
you may be sorry for it.
Conductor pulls strap, stops car, dumps
trunk on the avenue, starts car, and after
going some two squares, approaches the
Young man. who was still as calm as a
summer morning, and in an angry mood
says "Now l have put your trunk off,
what are you going to do about it ~
Young Man (coolly)-Well don't pro-
pose to do anything about it; it's no con-
Germ of mine it wasn't my trunk.
Conductor Giercely).-Then why didn't
you tell me so?
Young Man.-Because you did not ask
me- and | told you you'd be sorry for it.
Conductor (furiousl-Then go inside
the car.
Young Man.-Oh no! you're good
enough company for me out here.
At this juncture a portly German
energies from the car, and angrily says,

The car was stopped, and shortly after

sweating up with the trunk on his back

enjoy half as well as did the passengers.

That was all l heard of the talk, as
looked down at the eager faces that passed
my window, and it set me to thinking. L
have no idea what kind of a compact the
boys were making, but whatever it was
they evidently thought it was made spe-
calIy sure and sacred by those two words,
-'Hoaor 6,ight' You all think so, be-
lieve, you boys and girls; there is an I'M
written code of honor among you, which
makes it quite right and proper to break
certain kinds of promises, if it suits your
convenience, but very disgraceful to break
others-the hOnor bright kind. May be
you get it from your elders, or, what is
more likely, your elders learned it when
they were boys and girls and carried the
bad principles with them, out of small
transactions into great ones, until there is
no telling the mischief it has done.
That is n good mottO-honor bright

carefully, sacredly, hOnOr bright, no matter
how much it costs you, provided you
have not pledged yourself to a wrong. If
you have, there can be no honor about it,
except in frankly saying, 81 made a bad
promise; l am ashamed of it; cannot

You don't want to do this thing? No;
but you said you would. Now stick to it,

You didn't promise to do it? No; but
