L,,,lc Fun win Hopkins.

Some few years ago q new frc
company was organized at Heading,
and the members one evening thought
they would have little innocent fun
at the expense of Hopkins, their
president. They decided to rush
around with tho engine to Hopkins
house after dark, to throw up their
ladders, pull out their hose, climb on
the roof, and scare him with the belief
that his dwelling was on fire. But
that very day Hopkins moved out OF
the house, and Presbyterian clergy.
man moved in, without the company
being aware OF the change So, about
8 O'Clock tho humorists dashed out,
and went through all the movements,
getting OIL the roof and splashing
water around, aud creating terrific
disturbance generally. A rival COM
pany, noticing what was going on,
also hurried to the scene, and with
out understanding the joke, attached
their hose to a plug, smashed in the
front windows, and began to empty
a two-inch stream OH the family OF
that Presbyterian clergyman. They
squirted into all the rooms, split up
the window-shuttcrs with an axe,
broke down the front door, ran out
tho furniture, tore OIL tho shingles
aud bawlcd through trumpets until
tho hired girl had convulsions OH the
Kitchen stairs. The first company
tried 10 explain, but the newcomers
thought an effort was being made to
get them out of the way, and o fight
cnsucd, aud presently tiremcn were
sliding Off the roof, and pelting down
the chimneys, ahd bleeding over the
entry carpet, and having boistcrous
encounters with 'spanners and brass
horns Oh the stairs. And the next
morning that Presbyterian divine
and his family moved out. They said
the place seemed TO be too animated
and sensational for quiet domestic
circle. They wanted a house where
there was more calmness and peace
where they could have moro security
for their privacy and pianos, aud for
their front doors and shingles and
peace of mind and window-sashcs.-

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Secretary Fish yesterday received a
despatch from Minister Sickles saying
that on the night of the 10Th instant a
riotous concourse of persons assembled
about his residence and gave evidence
of disposition to mob him, but that the
Spanish authorities Immediately order
ed out the military and dispersed the
crowd, and that the affair passed of
without subiecting him to any indignity,
The despatch adds that the Spanish
government has shown itself strong en-
ough to suppress any mob, and to main.
tain peace and order in Madrid. The
sensational course pursued by some New
York papers, in declaring that war with
Spain is inevitable, is deprecated here
in administration circles, and regarded
as calculated to excite people and pre-
vent diplomacy from settling the differ
ences with Spain in an honorable man

lips which had so often and so merciless-
ly grieved him.
=
A week later, having buried Hal as
he requested, by his mothers side,
John began his search for his wife and
child.
From some papers among his broth
er's effects, dated a year previous, he
discovered that she was living with an
old relative in little town on the coast.
No definite clue was given, however,
and the meagre inform alton was dis
heartening enou yh.
Many and many time John almost
abandoned his search, so hopeless did
he feel concerning success.
Often, catching glimpse of the face
of some person passing him, he would
imagine that it was Florence, and start
in pursuit only to discover that he was
following q total stranger.
But one day, while standing at the
window of the hotel where he intended
to remain for few hours. in the small
town of E., his attention was attracted
to little girl just passing, carrying a
bundle almost double her size.
The pavement, covered with snow
and ice, formed an insecure footing for
the child, staggering under the weight
of the heavy parcel; and when just in
front OF the window, she slipped, and
fell with great force upon the walk. 1t
was only the work of a moment for John
to rush out and pick up the bewildered,
half stunned little creature, and to re-
cover the truant bundle. Her almost
frozen fingers aroused Johns sympath-
les; and after inquiring where she liv-
ed, he decided that it would be an act
OF kindness to soc that the small child
and large bundle reached home in safety.
The little girl was 50 timid and I'M
communicative, that he was only able
to discover that her mother was very
poor, and that they lived long dis
lance from the hotel With that infor-
nation he was obliged to be content !;
and holding one cold little hand in his,
he hurried along to get the child out of
the keen, frosty air.
My dear reader, these stories all end
in the same style. Of course, the little
girls mother was Johns own Florence,
as he discovered when he reached the
poor little cottage where Florence lived,
with former old servant. And, of
course, John found it very easy to gain
the forgiveness he so tardily yielded to
his brother.
Perhaps Florence blamed herself also,
for her hasty flight but it is only ne
cessary to say that she forgave her hus-
band from the very depth of her loving,
yearning heart. What woman would
have done otherwise ?
An old English proverb says:
GA woman, dog, and q walnut tree,
The more you beat 'em the better they
be-
So it seems, as far as word-blows are
concerned. But then, if Florence was
willing to forgive, and John appreciated
the boon of perfect pardon, why, my
reader, We have nothing to say. Most
probably you and / would have done
precisely the same thing.
