A Troy paper gives the following sad
scene from real life. One evening, while
the audience was deeply inerested in a
play at the theater, young child was
observed walking down the aisle with
quick and anxious step. Her face
and eyes betokened weeping, and even
yet the unwiped tears were trickling
down her pale cheeks. The little one,
after glancing hurriedly and anxiously
down the aisle, darted forward toward a
young woman sitting near the stage, and
bending over behind her, faltered out be-
tween her sobs, "Oh, dear oh dear I
Father's-dead ?' The young woman,
startled by the sudden intelligence, ex-
claimed, "Oh, my God; my poor father."
and hastily arose, and, with the mounful
and mourning messenger, left the gay
place of pleasure for the darkened cham
of death. The scene was noticed by a
number, and for little time afterward
there was not murmur of applause nor
sign of smile by the audience. As
the play progressed the depression wore
away, and soon the sad scene of real life
was forgotten in the painted representa-
ton on the stage.

SHoEING MULE.-There was a black
smiths "strike" in a Pennsylvania town
recently, and an old farmer couldn't get
his mule shod so he concluded to do the
job himself He said that anybody that
ever saw mule ought to be able to shoe
one, and he didn't care If the blacksmiths
struck all Summer. lie tied his mule un-
der the shed, procured shoe of the right
dimensions, hammer, nails, and other
necessary utensils, and went to work.
"Whoa, Jerry ~ he remarked, as he
tapped the animal on the hind leg. Jer-
ry left off eating oats, turned his head
around, and smiled pleasant sort of a
smile. Then the farmer lifted the mules
hind leg, repeated "Whoa, Jerry !" and
commenced TO fool around his hoof. The
amateur blacksmith was bent like GRO
quet wicket with his back toward his
Jerry's bow. so to speak, when the mule
reached round and playfully seized his
masters garments just below his rear
suspender buttons. "Whoa, Jerry p"
the farmer remarked, as he gave sud-
den jerk, falling on his face, and leaving
a bunch Of cassimer in the animals
mouth. Then the owner of the mule
mbled on his feet, returning to the
job of shoeing in a way that showed that
he was in earnest, and grasping the mule
by the hind leg. yelled in voice that
was full of business, "His., Jerry y"
And we are panied TO say that Jerry
4" histed." He histed both hind legs, ST.
multaneously, and about the same time
the farmer was "histed" +" outof tho shed
into the middle Of the street. He went
out as If he was going to catch the last
train, and hadn't a minute to spare.
When he recovered consciousness, and
was assured that comet had not struck
the earth, he said he "s'posed he must
have tickled Jerry on the elbow"

wACKUP's IRONING.

Mr.. Wackup, married man of Bridge
port, quit work early the other afternoon
and went home 20 fix up for the purpose
of spending the evening-or, rather, half
the night-with number of his friends.
He found his wife lying upon the lounge,
enjoying a sick headache, but he couldn't
find clean shirt. Mrs. Wackup said
his shirts were washed, but not ironed,
and she was too i'll to do it, and it was
the girls afternoon out. A shade OF dis
appointment clouded his brow, and rush
ing into the kitchen, he slammed the
| door with much earnestness, and fortu-
nately found an iron on the range nice
and hot. Then he dived into the basket
of dampened clothes, and found one of
his shirts at the bottom, just as he ex-
pected.
He spread the garment out on a table
without first removing the oil-cloth cover,
and hurriedly consulted his watch. Then
he couldn't find the iron holder, and sub
stituted his pocket handkerchief, and
after burning four of his fingers and
breaking one of the commandments, he
landed the hot iron on his shirt bosom.
He thought the garment had a strange
look, but supposed it would assume its
proper shape when ironed-and he showed
the iron up and down, like jackplane.
The labor seemed so easy, that he men
tally said he had mind to follow the
business for living. Then he undertook
to turn the shirt, and just because it ad-
hered to the glazed table cover, he gave
il a violent jerk, adding at least six inch
es more to the split in the back.
Then he noticed for the first time that
he had set the hot iron on the tail Of the
garment, and scorched hole in it as
large as his hand, and in his haste to re-
move the smoothing machine he neglected
to use the holder and dropped the hot
fraud on his choice toe; and when Mrs.
Wackup, who was startled by the inten-
sity of his language, entered the kitchen,
holding her head between her hands, she
discovered her husband hopping about
the room on one foot, clasping the other
with both hands. The sympathy that
Mrs. Wackup rendered was not of ma
ture that her bistered husband yearned
for just at that particular moment. She
placed her arms akimbo, and Indignantly
observed
"Ain't yon ashamed of yourself, you
old fool dancing the can can around
here, and your poor wife nearly dead,
too and"-here her eyes rested upon
the wreck on the table-"and if the old
idiot hasn't gone and ruined my best
chemise o, the-the-"
Wackup didn't tarry to hear his infu-
rated bette- half finish the sentence, but
adroitly lodged the broom-handle, and
limped out of the room and up stairs to
bed, without his supper. The next
morning he told his friends that the rea-
son he failed to keep his engagement was

morbus at the supper table, and liked to

WONDERFUL MoNKEY.-A Madrasee,
who had favorite monkey, went on
journey through the woods, taking with
him quantity of money and jewels, and
his usual companion. He was waylaid
by some men who knew Of his purpose,
he was robbed, murdered, and his body
thrown into dry we'll. The monkey,
who was on the top Of tree, saw the
whole proceeding, and when the murders
departed, he came down and making his
way to neighboring house. he invited
the people by signs to follow him. Whom
they did so he led them to the well, and
pointed down, when the; corpse was
of course discovered. Furthermore. no

BOYS who disturb camp meetings by
crying Amen" in the wrong place, and
remarking GLORY" with more zeal than
judgment, should read and ponder the
fate Of thirteen small boys in Kansas.
These thirteen ill-advised boys were gull

Kansas camp meeting by insisting upon
shouting "Amen" when q muscular
preacher, who prided himself on his
voice, was singing hymn. The preach
or bore it for some time, but finally be-
coming filed with righteous wrath, he
descended from the pulpit, and never
once interrupted his hymn, successvey
reversed and spanked the thirteen small
boys. As his avenging hand descended,
and the dust of the small boys filed the
air, the rest of the congregation shouted
in rapture and encouraged him with loud
cries of "Go on, brother, go on I" Then
he returned to the pulpit, still singing,
and those boys went behind a haystack
and lay down with their faces TO the
ground, weeping bitterly.

OBSTINATE VANDERBILT.-The enor-
nous prestige of Mr.. Vanderbilt has ear
ried everything he touched to prices
which those OH the inside knew to be ut
terly without justification. The reaction
was inevitable, and it goes us far 10 the
other extreme. For the wild panic that
has accompanied the fall, and for the
needless and wicked sacrifices that are
entailed, we have mainly to thank the
obstinate old man who refused to save
the Union Trust Company by paying his
debt. The sum that he declined to pay
though on that eventful night his friends
and followers labored with him till mid
night to persuade him to do this simple
justice--was million and three,quarters.

millions. He has his reward.-N. Y.

AN INVOICE OF GIRLs.-The Truckee
Republican, of October 18th, says: The
report was circulated yesterday that
about fifty manageable girls from Low
ell, Massachusetts, were on the emigrant
train on their way to Los Angeles, and
would be in Truckee about midnight last
night. The report was true so far as the
number of girls and their coming was
concerned. The excitement among the
bachelors in this place, in consequence of
the news that such precious invoice of
freight was near at hand, was most in
tense. Some of the most susceptible
young men, who had been boasting of the
superiority of the Eastern girls over Cali
ifornia's daughters, went down on the
eleven o'clock P. NJ. passenger train, thus
to be able to obtain a fair view, and make
the acquaintance of some of the fascinat.
ing Lowell damsels. The train, with its
feminine cargo, arrived shortly after mid
night. The bachelors who went down to
Boca are mum over the trip. They got
awfully sold. There was scarcely pref
ty girl in the crowd. One had lost her
teeth, and appeared to be cumming her
way across the continent another was
deaf, and several had glass eyes one
had hair-lip, while the most promising
looking one in the crowd was tongue tied. .
One of the bachelors undertook to pay
his "distresses" to this one, the most like
ly one of all. and actually offered her his
hand, name, and home in Truckee.
She puckered up her mouth for half an
hour in the vain endeavor to answer him
and probably would have succeeded had
not the remorseless conductor cried out
"An aboard" and started up the train.

On the Goth Of juno, ult., the new parial
church Of st. Brigid, at crossbaveu, Ireland
was solemnly dedicated. The event was on.
of singular interest. Their fordships, the
Bishops of Cork and oioyne, and q Large BODY
Of clergy from various parts of the diocese as
sisted at the ceremonies. The Mayor of Cork
was preeent in his official character, attended
by the town clerk and mace bearers, and n

to Germany, took place on the 22d of June, in
Strasburg; and the result constitutes strik-

the correspondent Of q German newspaper

out of 1922 electors inscribed on the register,
only 500 or 900 could be got to support the
candidates Of Bismarck, while nine or ten
thousand recorded their votes in favor of the
"irreconeilable French and Ultramontane"
