Giving o Hint.

Rhode Island girls are not wan

ting that they, like BarkiS, ''is

that lady walking one evening,
under the classic shades of Brown
University, overheard the follow
ing conversation between young
lady and gentleman just in front
of her.
Charley, did you ever hear it
said that if a person found four
leaved clover and put it in their
shoe, the first gentleman or lady
the person walked with would be
their husband or wife 2"
"No-never heard of it before" "
"Well, | found one aud put it
in my shoe this morning, and
you're the first one | have walked
with. wonder if it is true z"
There could be but one answer
to this, but the unintentional caves
dropper does not mention it, leav-
ing the public in cruel doubt as to
whether the ruse was successful
or not.

The cat, it appears, is after all
an amiable animal. A story Of
its benevoIence comes to us
from Stow, Mass, and what is
more, it is greatly to the discred-
it Of an unnatural hen, who,
having a fine brood of chickens,
took an intense dislike to a
black one, driving it away and
pecking and chasing it. The
good and gentle cat noticed this,
and taking compassion on the
poor littleoutcast, ,cOaxed It part
ly and partly drove it into the
house, and then nursed, tended
and warmed it all day. At
night it was put under her
mother, "unbeknown" to her,
only to be driven off again in
the morning. when the cat would
take it in charge; and now the
chicken is a young hen and able
to take care of herself.

Steering a Steamer by 6
Dogs Bark.

4 few months since, writes q
correspond mt, in coming down
the Ohio river, a gentleman on
the steamer informed me that
short time previously he was
passenger overthc Grand Chain,
a rocky shallow on the Ohio,
near its mouth. lie was con-
yersing with the pilot. The
night was dark; the shore could
not be seen. The boat was
moving slowly-feeIing herway.
The pilot became restless and
uneasy, and ceased talking.
Suddenly, however, the bark
ing Of a dog was heard far away
on the shore. "There," said the
pilot, frightening up, and Civ
ing the wheel two or three turns,
'I'm alright. I've steered by
the barking of that dog every
night I've passed here Tor i've
years" The cackling Of geese
saved Rome, and the barking of
a dog told this pilot just where
he was and in what direction to
head his boat to avoid the rocks;
and this dog was the only bea-
con-liSht or buoy to show the
faithful pilot how to direct his
course TO save his valuable car
go and still more valuable lives.
4 few weeks after this conversa-
ton, the Probasco, one of our
finest steamers, struck On these
rocks, sunk, and vessel and car
go were lost.

A Bank-Teller's Balance.

1t is related that while Rob
ert Pringle, the great banker of
Glasgow, was apaying teller in
a bank in that city, a person en-
tered, demanding payment of
the sum of six pounds. There
were several persons waiting,
who were, in turn, entitled to be
served before him; but he was
extremely impatient, and rather
noisy, and being besides a re-
markable stammerer, he became
so annoying that several gentle
men requested the teller to pay
him his money at once and get
rid of him. Pringle did so, but
with an expression Of impa-
tience at being obliged to at
tend to him before his turn; and
he thought no moreof the trans
action. At the end Of the year,
" hlch was eight or nine months
after, the books OF the bank
could not be made to balance,
the deficiency being exactly six
pounds. Several days and nights
were spent in endeavoring to
discover the error, but without
success; when at last Pringle
returned home much fatigued,
and went to bed. He dreamed
Of being at his place in the bank,
and the whole transaction with
the stammerer, as just detailed,
passed before him, in all its par
ticulars. lie awake under the
full impression that the dream
was to lead him to the discovery
OF what he was so anxiouely in
search OF, and on investigation, !
he soon discovered that the sum
paid to this person, i'll the man
ner mentioned, had been neg
lectc.i to De inserted in the book /
of interests, and that it exactly .
accounted fer the error in the
balance.

Old Love Rekindled-A
Washington Ro-
nance
nance.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the cincinnati comm erclal.
The wedding was that of
Mr.. Conger, member Of Con-
gress from Michigan, with Mrs.
Sibley, widow Of Major Sibley,
United States army. She was
Miss Humphries, daughter OF
Judge Humphries Of the Su-
prcme Court of the State of
Ohio, and twenty-seyen years
years ago was affianced to Mr..
Conger, thena handsome bloom
ing youth. They quarrelled
and parted. In six months the
quarrel was forgotten, and they
were again engaged. Miss
Humphries was pretty, a belle,
and fiirt. Her flirting pro
pensities did not please Mr..
Conger, and he demonstrated
with her. Being a high-spiri-
ted girl, she again and finally
broke the engagement, telling
him she would never marry him.
He left the State. She mar
ried and he married. Major
Sibley lived twelve years. There
were no children, and at MS
death she went abroad. Mrs.
Conger lived a few years, and
left three children. In October,
weary OF European life, Mrs.
Sibley determined to return to
her home in Cincinnati. Ar
riving in New York, it occurred
to her to come to Washington
for few weeks. Oh, woman,
how mysterious are thy ways!
One day, time hanging YEARLY
on her hands, she wandered
to Congress; Of course, never
dreaming that in this august
body sat her affinity! An nour
passed; the debates were prO5y
and tedious. So, gathering her
wraps about her, she prepared
to leave the gallery, when there
was a tap on her shoulder
Turning, who did she behold
but the lover Of her youth!
After commonplace greetings
in an agitated voice, she made
the inquiry, Il suppose your
family are with you?" "Did
You not know that my wife was
dead?" With tragic start she |
ayerred she did not. Then chat |
ted some time, and on leaving |
she said, II am at the ArIing-
ton, will you come and see me?'
Iesitations on his part, bushes
on hers, and then in a low voice |
replied Conger, II will come if |
you will take back what you
said to me twenty-five years |
ago" 81 WILL" she answered, |
and she wilted.
The engagement was very
brief, and the happy twain were
united last Saturday morning |
at II O'Clock. The bride wore
a pearl-colored satin brocade |
with diamond ornaments, and |
looked very well, albeit she
could not look sentimental, for
she is not very young, and |
weighs about one hundred and
ninety-fiye pounds.

A young man in one of the
Penobscot river towns in Maine,
recently supposing himself to
be upon his death-beG, quietly
arranged his affairs, so far as
he was able, and then astonished
his weeping friends by the
choice of an auctioncer to con-
duct the funeral services
"There's Mr.. -, down to

fluid talker, and l alters likeI
to hear him. I've had dealin's

young man recovered, after all
the auctioneer lost the chance
to declare that he was "gone."

doing manly act. but was very sadly
mistaken. The gentleman he thus
libels in q cruel and uDgentlemanly
