A GOOD temperance stoyy is always
in order. Let all burglars, therefore
who would be prosperous, listen to the
tale of one of their breaking and enter.
ing brethren in Iowa. He had nearly
"cracked' a gentleman's house. He
had collected fine amount of booty
Then he observed some choice ardent
spirits, and forgetting the serpent
coiled within, perhaps fatigued by
his exertions, he partook of those
spirits until he fell into gentle SUM
Der upon the parlor sofa. In consc.
quence of this untimely nap, his resi-
dence fer several years to come will be
in the Iowa pcnitcntiary.

AT the time the cholera was so bad
in Prague, Dr. S. was called out of a
warehouse suddenly to see patient.
at the time he entered the sick-room the
family physician did the same. The
two doctors found their patient in a
strong perspiration, and put both their
hands under the bed-clothes, in order to
feel his pulse, but, by accident, got hold
of each others. "He has the cholera y
cried DIR. r. "No such thing" said the

A LOST NovEL.-The Suns John
has pathetic Renaissance Of Miriden,
Conn.,, which he thus relates:
| am now at Meriden. It's the very
place where female novelist was lost
to society. She was lost this way
She had written novel, "The Dead
Minister; or, The Fatal Dish Rag" or
some such name, and she had lover,
and one fatal night she sat down to
read that novel to her lover. She COM
menced as follows: "Winifred Attic
boro sat with bated breath fishing"
"You mean a bated hook" said he.
II mean bated BREATH" said she.
Says he, "Who the deuce ever fished
with bated BREATH"
Says she, you're fool"
Says he, Farewell, Susan. Alas!
farewell"
He might have added another letter
to that alas, for it proved last fare
we'll Two loving hearts were severed
and her book was lost to the world,
for in her rage she used it to kindle a
fire to ripen some Goldfish balls with.

NEWSPAPER mistakes are scarcely

some will be wrongly placed in spite
OF the best of care. A Pittsburg pa.

out OF place. The editor said: "The
