\ GESTLEMAN BREAKs A Door IN TO CATCH
A Thief AND MISSES IIIM.-IcStcrday even
ing is two gentlemen, one stranger in the
city, were walking up Main street they met
Il friend in the person OF Il proa3ncnt city
official, who was SO glad to see his old friend
from afar that he invited "the boys" to his
house to drink bottle wine. The trio start
ed up town arn-in-;irIn, talking of old times
and the changes that had occurred since they
last met, until they reached the house where
in they We're to champagne.
The best people are destined 10 dSapp0nt-
lncnt. and so it was with these gentlemen
who had come "a purpose and down
whose thrvat> the golden liquid Of ''Napo-
Icon's Cabinet" was almost running. The
"ia>>es were. placed on the table; the cracked
ice, so cooling, WAS then ready fer tie wine.
The host cX,Il>@d himself: in the shortest
possible time he returned and said, "Gcn-
tl@mcn, Eve had somcthin" to happen III my
house which never occurred before" wv nat
i il 2" was asked eagerly by the two friends.
.Why, my wine cellar Is locked on the III
side. and the key i in the door there Is evil
IDENTITY some one in there" In Il mlnlite the
returned friend WAS posted in an advantage
"eou> position 10 prevent the intruder from
escaping and the city friend went lmned!-
atcN i'll 4 run iof the ponce. Mpc'ii iilS oilt oi
Main street. he sent him ut Il douhlc-quick
10 the rescue. The rest Of the story We give
in the words of the gentleman vino went for
the policeman. Il walked leI>lIrcy back
towards the house, bc;n" somewhat tired
by MY run. and when about halt way met
tie officer. who told me hr had good Joke
on p, and that there was no robbcr
in The house. | reached my friends and
found him contemplating the broken door Of
his winc-ccIlar. which bud been beaten i'll
With III axe. aud, lnuch to his di>appolnt-
mcnt. there had lsrrn no one inside. lhe Key
was not even in tllr door, but he had tried
solid kew when the lock was intended FOR Il
bored KEY the head of the solid Key could
not enter the lock, prevented, as he thought,
by a key on the inside. This was l's mis-
take. our mutual friend had been Obliged
20 leave before my return, and We post

variable time" The last man the gentleman
of the house sent for to help him out oi the
difficulty WAS Il carpenter to hang lie"

THE onIaIN or MASONRY.

A western orator, descanting on the
life of old King Solomon, is reported
thus: But the biggest thing Sol did
was establishing the order OF Free
Masons. When he was in the build
ing business he got all the roosters
who worked for him to 60 into the
Masonic institute heavily. Sol was
the first chap who made fellows ride
goats and travel over rugged paths
and be roaste,l on hot grid-ircns. 1t
was the festive Sol who STOOD by in
the days Of Old Lang Syne and pass
ed the torture Of initiation. He was
the Holy Daddy Of the Free Masons,
and took the degrees Of the nine hun
dred and ninety. ninth. Sol did bust
ness on the square. He ran the
kingdom and had bully luck until be
got to be an old codger and couldn't
get about as lively as he could in bis
younger days. His wives who used
walk bee line for him, got the
upper hand and we're sassy. They
made it hot for the old man, and he
darsen't say boo for fear they'd pull
his hair out. They made up faces al
him, and he got discouraged. AND
then, TO make matters more mixed, q
lot Of politicians kicked upa muss in
the kingdom. Sol died soon after
and was buried with Masonic hon
ors.

At last we are finding out who
Caesar was, II not what he is. A wag
tells us all about the original, thus;
"Julius Cicsar-An ancient Roman
Of celebrity. He advertised to the
effect that he had rather be first at
Rome than second in q small village.
He was a man of great muscular
strength. Upon one occasion he
threw an entire army across the Ru-
bican. A General named Pompey
met him in what was called the tent
ed field" but Pompey couldn't hold a
Roman candle TO Julius, We are as
sured upon tho authorty Of Patrick
Henry that Caesar had his Brntus. -
The unbiased reader of history, how
ever, will conclude that, on the con
trary, Brutus rather had Caesar. This
Brulus never struck me as an unpleas-
ant man TO meet, bat he did Cesar

CAMPS wIDow.

More than thirty years ago, in the
little town of Charlottesville, In
diana. there was a merry, old-fashion-
ed wedding and Captain Il, II. S.
Candy and Louisa Hawkins were
married. Both were young; the
bride wdsbeautiful, gifted withareed-
like grace Of movement and rich
and exquisite VOICE that still haunts
my ear with the echo Of its remem-
bered music His calm, earnest way
Of loving had won her whole SOUL
and throughout the shifting changes
Of all this tract Of years she has gone
With him, aud where he was there
has been her home her very home.
Along the lonely frontier, at DESC
late outposts, in Florida, in New
Mexico, in California. even on the
rough edge of the battle, that gentle,
delicate woman has hovered near her
husband, and the banner over her
head was love. In the fruitless
march to Utah under Buchanan's
Administration her tent was pitched
among the mountains where the
troops wintered. What the husband
gained in moral hight by the COM
panionship of the Christian wifes how
much he owed to her, and we through
him. has not been recognized. His
inherited tendency to gloom was
charmed away in that serene and
gracious presence. There was heals
ing in the wings of the guardian
spirit, and, through her ceaseless
vigilance, whatever could harass and
annoy was snioothed from before him
as by the unseen agency Of fairy
hands. Partly this unfailing care is
due to that even poise of brain which
kept his Judgment SO finely balanced
that, us has been said Of Washington
in action, she never failed to Observe
ali that was possible, and at the same
time to bound his aspirations by that
which was possible" Nothing could
exceed the 'kniyItly tenderness, the
eourtly Difference on his manner I'd
her. He early learned--as sooner
or later NIL must learn-.that little
love is better than much fame, and
those who knew him merely as the
silent, inflexible officer, could not
guess how the lovelnass OF her life
wns blended with bis, and filed i,
a with an undersong of wonderful
sweetness. = s0 'v'''f

NArunA1 nInN ANp woMnN.

:, A man Of thoroughly natural NAN
ners would pass on either morose or
pert, according to his ood-either
stupid because disinclined TO exert
himself, or obtrusive because in the
humor to talk. He would mean no
oflense, but he would make himself
disagreeable all the SAME. Such a
man is the pest Of his club, and the
nuisance Of every drawingrooni he
enters. II matters little whether he
is constitutionally boorish or good
natured; he is natural and his nntur-
alness comes like an ugly patch Of
frieze on the cloth Of gold with which
the goddess Of conventionaIity co is dra.
ped. Natural women, too may be
found at times-women who demon
strate on small occasions, sincerelyno
doubt, but excessively, women who
skip like young lambs when they are
pleased, and pout like naughty chill
dren when they are displeased; who
disdain ali those arts of dress which
conceal defects and heighten beauties,
and who arc always at war with the
fashions Of the day; who despise those
