The Dutchman's Calf.

OUR friend Carl, the butcher, had just
" bought fine calf and stopped mo-
ment in the bar-room of the drovers hotel
to say good bye to the barkeeper. Their
emotion at parting was very great-so
much so indeed that the entire crowd
joined in, the most of them taking sugar
in theirs"
At this juncture, Mr.. Charles Hines,
offered to bet champagne for the party,
that he would steal Carl's calf before he
got to town. "Eugh eughv' grunted
Carl, Spy tam dakes dat bet" Enough
said," was the answer, and once more
evincing their emotion, much to the salts
faction of the landlord and also three horny
handed Grangers who had been ornament
ing the stove with their "country twist
expectorations, Carl, giving an extra twist
round the neck of his young bovine, mount
ed to his seat and drove slowly Off shaking
the body Of his wagon with suppressed
laughter as he roared back
"Yes, py tam, steal him if you cam"
"You can't do it, Charlie" said the
crowd with one voice.
This young gentleman, whose wits had
been sharpened by his early piratical life
and his occasional intercourse with few
Chinee, said nothing, but buttoned up his
coat, and taking from his pockets his large
buckskin gloves started out, and with the
speed of an antelope struck through the
woods, and taking short cut in few
minutes came out on the road some dis
tance ahead of Carl, who had not yet turn
ed the bend. Throwing down one of his
gloves on the roadside he quickly withdrew
to the bushes and quietly awaited the ap-
proach of our worthy butcher friend, whose
voice could be heard in the distance--one
moment swearing at the calf, which show
ed every inclination to return to the ma
ternal fold, and next would be heard that
deep gutteral roar:
I spy tam, stheal him If you can. !"
Shortly after the team came TO sudden
halt, the spirited little bovine to double
halt which nearly dislocated the tailboard
TO which he was tied, and Carl leaned over
and saw fine large buekskin glove on the
road
"Eugh, F" said he, "why didn't the fool
leave dem both9 Watts de use of one glove
anyhow G'lang p and or moved the
selfsatished driver still ohuclkling at the
idea of anybody stealing his calf
The ingenious youth, whose minds should
have been upon better things, emerged
from his lair in the bushes, and once more,
after recovering his glove, started through
the woods and bushes, and in less than
halfa hours time was once again upon
the roadside, and had deposited a glove.
The reluctant calf the wsll-uied tail

board, the burly driver, and the straining
leader soon appeared in sight, with this ex-
ception, their positions wero reversed.
" Got in himmell p' cried Carl as his eye
caught sight of the big buck glove lying in
front of him, "youst like the oder one, by
tam. Why de teufel didn't pick him up
at once ?''
Hitching his horses to roadside sapling
in another minute he was stresking it up
hill and away at 2:40 pace. The bend in
the road was soon reached, and about the
same time swiftfooted, smiling youth
the one whose mind as we before said
should have been upon better things
stepped from the roadside shrubbery, picked
up the glove, cut the rope, and leading the
calf, which appeared willing to submit to
anything for change, through trees and
bushes was soon lost to sight.

pluck. Had he yielded to the first demand
for money he would have found himself
compelled, in time, to pay over TO his ac-
cuser every dollar that he could save OF
steal.
Women make the best game for these
fellows. If a married woman INDUCES in
what to her, seems to be an "innocent fir
tation," and happens to fall in the hands
of one of these men, it costs her dear. So
valuable is her reputation that rather than
have it called in question, she will do any
thing. She pays the scoundrel money,
silverware, jewelry, anything, as the price
of silence, for they imagine thousand
evils where none could possible occur
Next to women, clergymen are the ia
vorite victims of black-mailers for their po-
sition is so peculiar and uncertain. In
their cases the services of some fair but
abandoned woman are brought into requi-
sition. Some years ago distinguished
preacher in Broadway church resigned
his charge and left the city broken-hearted,
because he had permitted himself to be
plundered by band of men and women
who had combined to place HIM in false
position.
His friends felt that he was innocent,
and yet they advised him to go, because
his weakness had put him under suspicion.
He had been sent for to console dying
woman, and he went and was ushered into
her room, and left alone with her, and was
then surprised by confederate, who
claimed to be the woman's husband. The
house was regular trap, the woman a
prostitute, and the two were black-mailers,
but it was enough.
He was weak enough to pay once, and
then it was all over with him. Paying was
an evidence of guilt, and, innocent of guilt
as a child, he was compelled to resign his
charge and leave the city. But it did not
end with this. His prosecutors followed
him to his new home, and extorted more
money, for every step he took to relieve
himself only put him more securely in their
hands.
He was compelled finally to leave the
ministry. But they do not always succeed
so we'll. Not long ago another clergyman,
approached in the same way, laid very
neat trap and had his accusers brought to
shame. He thus saved himself lifelong
trouble.
The only way is to defy them, and utterly
refuse to pay. That ends it. They have
no reason to divulge what they know, in
fact, when their secret is made common
property it ceases to have any value to
them. They always leave such people
alone.

Impudence.

The following from st. Louis is said to
be true, and it is certainly very good
The venerable Mr.. c., is proprietor
of large planning mill, and is highly re-
respected Christian gentleman. Seated in
his office one morning, he was accosted by
a black-eyed specimen of humanity, who
asked for ten cents to get drink.
"Fact is" said he, 81 have been on
drunk, am broke, and want just one good
drink to sober off on"
Now Mr.. G., was a strong advocate of
temperance, and turning to the man, he
said
am not drinking man, but there is
my brother Jim over there he may help
you;' . which remark, by the way, was a
decided hit on Jim, who did not object to
an occasional smile, and knowing how it
was himself, he handed the man the asked
for dime, remarking,-
"That's for telling the truth if you
had said you wanted to buy bread, or
something to eat wouldn't have given it
to YOU"
"Thank YOU" says the inebriate chad
known you were so bloody liberal, I'd a
boned you for quarter"
Here is fifteen cents more for your i'm
pudence," handing the man the amount
Good morning"
Their visitor backed to the door, then
turning to Jim with an amusing stare, he
said,-
81 would like to tell you something pro-
viding you don't get mad"
"Go ahead. What is itP" was the re-
ply.
