AT a recent entertainment given
by Howard Paul, at Schwalbach,
Germany, as the doors were about
opening, it was discovered that the
tickets had been forgotten, and nci-
ther checks nor counters of any
description were procurable at such
short notice. Mr.. Howard Paul
was equal to the occasion. He sent
to his hotel, borrowed several packs
of playing cards, and arranged that
all the rcd suits were to be admit
ted to the reserved seats and tho
black to the area. This plan was
simple enough, but the medley Of
Russians, Germans, American and
French who compose the audiences
at continental watering places, look
ed somewhat bewildered on rcceiv-
ing hearts and clubs i'm exchange
for their thalers, and at last it was
found davisable to engage one OF
those wonderful polyglot walters,
who can slang you in o dozen
tongues, to stand at the door and
explain why one visitor who had
the duce of diamonds was entitled
to better place than another coup
lie who had just been served with
the king and queen of clubs. .a

In the pocket-book of Hon. Ste
phen Allen, who was drowned on
board the Henry Clay, was found a
printed slip apparently cut from a
newspaper, of which the following
is a copy. 1t is worthy to be put
in every newspaper and of being
engraved on every young mans
heart:
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Never speak i'll of any one.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Never play at a game of chance.
Drink no kind of Intoxicating
liquors.
Good character is above all
things else.
Keep your own secrets If you
have any.

By squall in the Delaware Bay,
a short time ago, while sailing in a
yacht, two young men were over
taken. AT public worship they had
occasionally been present. From
the way things looked, the capsiz-
ing of their shallop was very near
inevitable.
"Bill,' said one to the other, "this'
is serious business can't you
pray 1"
"No, can't; / heard Joe Quinn
do it, and I've listened to Bill Post,
but can't do it myself"
"Wcll, you can sing a hymn, can't
you! For Gods sake do some
thing"
''No, 1 can't sing here. How can
I sing when this boat at any moment
may drown us both n
"Well, we must do something re-
ligious. If you can't sing, let's
take up a collection"
To this Bill consented. In his
companions hat he deposited thir-
teen pennies, a corkscrew and"a
brokcn-bladed knife. AS he did
this the wind lulled and the shallop
made successful landing.
