SINGEING A DEMON.

The leading tragedian at the little thea

They produced week or two ago a play
entitled ''The Demon of the Hartz,"
and Mr.. Hammer assumed the character
of the Demon The young man upon
whom devolved the duty Of opening and
shutting the traps, was also instructed
to flash crimson flames up through the
hole at intervals, for the purpose of Great
ing the impression that the internal reg
ions were located Immediately beneath
the stage, and were in a condition of
terrific and perpetual combustion. He
was somewhat inexperienced, but he
seemed to plunge along well enough for
awhile. In the third act, Mr.. Hammer,
the demon aforesaid, had to go down the
trap, and his purpose was to descend to
eternal August with sardonic laugh
and fiendish smile upon his forbidding
countenance. The young man below

when a display of diabolical fireworks
would be appropriate, it was when the

hard days work SO when Mr.. Hammer
was about half way down, and was laugh
ing his very sardonickest, the pyrotech-
nical persons let off half barrelful of
red fire, III which the homeward-bound
Spirit of Evil was entirely enveloped.
The rest of the way he went down sud
denly, and then they laid him under the
fire plug while the water played on him.
AS soon as he was e1tinglished, he rose
up and sought the FIRE fiend, and at the
conclusion of the encounter the latt Ct
was carried around to DR.. Jones Office
on stretcher by the carpenter and the
low comedian. Mr.. Hammer then went
home to see what his wife would think Of
him without eyebrows or hair and then
he returned to the country for a few
weeks, until they grew in again. ''The
demon of the Hartz" has been perma-

EDUCATION IN TEXAS.

There are still few corners of the
Western and southern States where the
school-mastet has not yet penetrated.
A little town iu Texas, whence comes
the following story, is one of these
places: Some emigrants from Ohio and
Illinois settled there, and soon began to
agitate for the erection of a school-house,
and the employment Of a teacher. A
town-neeting was called to consider the
proposition; and one of the northerners
made peat little speech, telling of the
blessings which education had brought
with it to Ohio and Illinois. When he
had sat down an old man in the corner
arose, gave the customary hitch to his
corduroys, pushed back his hat tr1fie,
and answered thus: 'Stralger, up in
yer Ohio State you've got aIbig peniten-
tiary full of people; h'aint yerG Well,

NEVER WASTE BREAD.

One day, about one hundred and
thirty years ago,a young Scottish maiden
was busy about her household affairs,
when an aged stranger came to the door
and asked permission to enter and rest,
requesting at the same time something
to eat. The young girl brought him a
bowl of bread and milk, and tried In
various ways to make him comfortable.
A piece of bread happened to fall on the
floor, she pushed it out of the way into
\ heap of ashes. "Never waste bread 7"
cried the stranger with emotion, picking
up the bread aud putting it into his
milk. ''I have known the time when [
would have given gold for handful of
corn kneaded in soldiers bonnet. A
quick suspicion crossed the girls mind
and sent her to the room of her invalid
mother, who fastened to the kitchen on
hearing the description of the old man
with delicate hands and clean course
linen. Ii moment she knew him to
be the good old Scottish lord, on whose
estate they were tenants. He had just
returned from the battle of Culloden,
where the young prince, Charles Ed
troops. He and many others were
Obliged to hide for their lives. After
being driven from one hiding place to
another, he at last found a safe hiding
place on part CT his estate where were
large cairns, called the ''cairns of Pitsi-
go 1.-THE lady who tells the story says
that ''every one in the neighborhood
knew of his residence ; the very chill
dren would go peep at him as he sat
reading, but would never breathe his
name ssNor," she adds, ''shall I ever
forget the lesson the poor fugitive
taught me-never to waste bread.

THE THIRD TERN AN "IDLE CON-
CEIT."

From Reverdy JohnsonS Letter to the Herald
I The idea of the President that the safe
ty of the country may demand the re-
election of a President for Third Term,
in my opinion, is an idle conceit having
no other support but the most egregious
vanity. Of this vanity he himself seems
to partake, since he says that he would
not accept a nomination if it were ten
dered, unless it should come under such
circumstances as to make 1t an impera-
tive duty" Who is to Judge whether
the duty to accept IL an imperative one?
1t can only be the man himself.
