EXpcylsiVe Fun.

At a town near Boston three
young ladies, residing in the same
house with q well known physician,
recently determined to play a prac-
tical joke upon him. They made
up bundle of dainty linen, en-
broidery, etc, in the shape of al
infant, the total value of the ficti'
tious child being about $50. The!
put the mallc-bclieve infant into
backet, and tied the basket to th'
door-handle. Ring went the bel
and the young ladies stood at tn
window above to see the physician
take in the child and be taken IL
himself. Their horror may be i'm
agined when they saw a man deiib
erately walk off with it. They ar
now mourning the loss of twenty
six yards of fine linen, twelve yard
of thread Ia &c, four hemstitch pock
ct handl1erchief5 and other valua
ble property.

Once upon time some resident
upon the line of an eastern road
took umbrage at his treatment 10y
its officers in the matter of a slain
COW or an overcharge on freight
Thereafter he presisted in refusing
to buy ticket at the ticket-oflice
and invariably paid his fair on the
train, proceeding which involved
an extra ten cents on each occa'
sion.
AS he was almost daily passen
ger, this proceeding excited the
curiosity of the conductor, who one
day said:
"Why don't you buy your ticke
at the office! 1t would save yo'
money, and me a deal of trouble
81 dare say" said the passenger
looking up dryly; " but I've got
spite against this company, and Nv
taken an oath that they'll never sc

A certain baggage-smasher on
the Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad had fearful attack Of
nightmare the other evening. He
dreamed that some man came along
to his car with splendid new trunk
that had never been touched. And
the dreamer got hold of that trunk
and soused it down upon the floor
three or four times, and jumped on
it, and hacked it up with an AK,
and split coal oil on it, and smear
cd il with chalk marks. And then
he dreamed that he pitched it out
of the car, and was about to ex-
plode lleg of gunpowder underit,
when the engine of the down train
struck him and he awolIc. lie
found his wife standing over him
with chair, and rapping him on
the head with earncstness. In his
sleep he had holdof the haby's crib,
and had been waltzing around the
room with it, up against the wall,
and pounding it with the pitcher,
and trying to heave it out Of the
window, while the infant, spilled
upon the floor, yelled like a brigade
of Shoshone Indians. 1t was the
conclusion of the chair in the hands
of the indignant woman that made
him dream about the locomotive
striking him. When his friends
now ask him the meaning Of thoso
bumps upon his forehead he says
nothing, but seizes the nearest
valise and goes through all the ex
ercises that he dreamed about.

This story is told of a father who
was one evening teaching his little
boy to recitc his Sunday school les
son. It was from the fourteenth
chapter of Mathew, wherein is re-
lated the parable of a malicious IN
diyidual who went about sowing
tarcs. "What is q tare! Tell me,
my son, what a tarc is" asked the
anxious parent.
"You had 'em!"
"Johnny, what do you mean {
asked the father, opening his eyes
rather wide.

didn't come home for three days

EslucutcSEsy Hospitality.

"Madam," said pitying ncighbor
TO clergyman's wife, "they make
YOUR house such q hotel that you
must be worn out with SO much
company. 1t is a shame that
ministers should be so imposed up
on"
81 don't quite view it so" replied
she "for, although our household
cares have always been great for
the reason you mention, we have
been abundantly repaid in the
pleasure we have received from so
many intelligent guests, and es-
pecially in the unconscious educa-
ton which our children have re-
ceived by the table talk. No pos
siblc education of ours, either
through books of our own family
conversation alone, could ever have
piyen them this valuable culture" !"
Here was an intelligent woman's
insight and good sense. What Is
the use of money, pictures, furn-
ituro, spare-rooms, darkened par
lors, serving their highest use when
visitors and flies are excluded, or
when made mere occasional receipt
ion rooms for stiifly ccremonious
calls of etiquette 4! Let us live all
over the house, and have something
cheerful and inviting in every
room. Why not have the table
always neatly spread and ready
enough for an extra plate without
anv question or fuss, cake or no
cake! Let us bring up our chil-
dren not with one set of everyday
manners and another for company
but in daily atmosphere OF hos
pitality.
, Ono of our "self-made men" who
occupies an eminent position IL
social and political life, revealed
! his good judgment and at the same
time one secret of success, in th'
remark that he never permitted
5 any respectable and intelligen
stranger to come into town, whose
: conversation might add to his owl
i stock of knowledge, or sharper
I any of his faculties, or give pleas
/ ure to his family, whom he Oh
d not, if possible, invite to his house
He well understands that such hos
+ pitality is a good investment, Will
'e he undoubtedly makes his guest
l. feel themselves his grateful debtor
Il "But this man is rich,-he hi
10 the means. He has the cake a
is ways ready" Yes, and so have v
all the means, cake or no calN
The poorest American citiz'
ought to have home, and o.
eu that mortgages him to self-rcspe

person that had passed the bills. the dry
goods merchant felt convinced that some.
Thing was wrong. He took the bills to the
treasury and submitted them to the scrutiny
of the SUPERINTENDENT, who examined and
pronounced them genuine
But here must mention the fact that, on
the morning after the printing OF these
bonds, the paper on which they were
printed wac missed by the superintendent
and notice appeared in the papers stating
that this material was missing, but there
seemed to be no suspicion that the money
had been issued.
The fact that Elan had so unceremOnl
ously left his employment, taken IN con
nection with other developing clrcum
stances, caused the authorities to be on the
alert. Detectives were employed to 1erret
out this matter, and if possible to bring the
gull parties to punishment. Alter using
all the facts communicated them, IN FUR
theriDg their object, they decided to MAKE
a bOlder move, and arrested the sO-called
Napoleon" He appeared to be overcome
with tremOr as the detectives and police ap-
preached him. Having many facts OF his
guilt in their possession, they at once &C
cused him of the crime. Aghast and
trembling, he made full confession, criml-
mating his partner, and Giving all the facts
in detail. He was then incarcerated, and a
dispatch sent to Lyuehburg for the arrest
OF Elan, who was found in all the enjoy
ment that wealth could bestow. After the
arrest OF Elan and his fair companion,
they were hurriedly taken TO Richmond,
but ne alone was imprisoned. No prosecu-
ton was brought against the two young
ladies, as all seemed satisfied in getting
hold of the principals.
Of the vast amount Of bonds they printed
but small sum fell into the hands of the
authorities. Only about sixty dollars were
found on the person of Elan and the young
lady vino accompanied hifff. 9. Napoleon"
before his arrest that he was
"sp0tted" as one Of the fraudulent bond
printers, and either secreted or destroyed
his portion of this immense issue, as it was
never recovered.
After a short Imprisonment the relatives
and friends of Elan effected q plan for his
escape. BY means unknown to the public
he disappeared from the prison, made his
escape nOrthward, and for years afterward
no tidngs of his whereabouts were known.
But poor Napoleon" after a brief trial,
was condemned. and suffered the penalty of
Confederate rule-a punishment ending on
the gallows.
