A Deception.

You may remember that I lcctured
lately for the young gentlemen of the
Clayonian society. During the after
noon of that day l was talking with
one of the young gentlemen referred
to, and he said he had an uncle who,
from some cause or other, seemed to
have grown permanently bereft of all
emotion. And, with tears in his eyes,
this young man said:
ooh, if / could only see him laugh
once more Oh. if could only see him
weep i" / was touched. could never
withstand distress. l said:
bring him to my lecture. I'll start
him for you"
ooh, il you could but do it! If you
could but do it, all our family would
bless you for evermore; for he is very
dear to us. Oh, my benefactor. can
you make him laugh? Can you bring
soothing tears to those parched orbs ?"
was profoundly moved said:
"My son, bring the old party around.
have got some jokes in my lecture
that will make him laugh, If there is
any laugh in him; and, if they miss
fire, ! have got some others that'll
make MIN cry or XII hlm, one or the
other
Then the Young man wept on my
neck, and presently spread both hands
on my head and looked up toward
heaven, munhling something rev.
erently; and then he went after his
uncle He placed him in full view in
the second row of benches, that night,
and began on him. tried him with
mild Jokes first-then with severe ones;
dosed him with bad Jokes, and ridded
him with good ones; | fired old, stale
jokes into him, and peppered him fore
and aft with red-hot new ones.

THE RIVER TIME.
BY d. f. TAYLOR.

Oh, n wonderful strenm Is the river Time,
As it flows through the realm of tears,
With taultless rhythm and u musical
rhyme. 30
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
AS it blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of
snowl
And the summers ike buds between;
And the year in the sheaf-so they come
and they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As they glide in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River Time,
Where tho softest of airs are playing;
There 8 IL cloudless sky and II tropical
cline,
And a voice as sweet MS a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses staying,
And the name of this isle Is the Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of
snow
There are heaps of dust, but we loved
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody
sings, ..T--
And II part of an infants prayer;
There's u harp unswept, and Lutte without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear, through the tur-
bulent roar,
sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before, u.
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed
isle ...
All the day OF our life till night;
And when evening comes with its beautiful
smile, . .. ..
And our eyes are closing in slumber
awhile,
May that 'Greenw ood' of soul be in sight

A Strange Story.

A Strange Story.
An extraordinary aud interesting
case, marvellous as a tale Of fiction,
has lately came TO light in New York
city. An old miser named Luther
Bryant, reputed very rich. and who
lived in u room in the rear of large
tenement house. was arrested and
locked up in the Tombs short time
ago, charged with the fraudulent
purchase Of postage stamps. The
old miser had n stand against the
iron railing of the Old Dutch Church,
corner of fulton and William streets.
for the ostensible purpose of dealing
in old coins, &c, but his principal
business was to buy postage stamps
at about half.price from messenger
boys who stole them from their films.
The old rascal bad been engaged in
this business for four years, aud had
fifty boys supplying him with stamps
and made yeIy good thing out Of
il. Tie abuse became So great that
several merchants were lei to suspect
that something was wrong, and set
detectives on the watch, who soon
uneatthed old Bryant. He was ne
cordingly arrested and locked up.
And now comes the curious part of
the story. During Bryant = imprison-
ment the promises which he had oc-
cupied and The door to which was
secured by double padlocks, remain

we't or' -. q was observed that
the locks had been broken off and
the door was ajar, and ON inspection
was found To- have been rnnsacked
Of everything. On receiving this in.
telligence Bryant almost tainted. and,
on fully comprehending the intclli
gencc. acted like a lunatic. He told
the officer that the room contained
money and valuablcs to the amount
Of nearly 100000, and that he was
reduced to beggary by the robbery.
Superintendent Walling was notified,
aud Mt his request District Attorney
Phelps discharged Bryant from pris-
on on his own recogni2ancc, SO rs to
enable him 10 consult with and aid
the Police authorities in search for
the stolen property. Bryant visited
his room, and after carefully inspect
ing the premises, furnished Superiu-
tcndent Walllng with the following
list of money and property claimed
by him to have been stolen SO
