and proficient musician. Miss
Reiche some time since formed the
acquaintance of a Mr.. Gustave
Kessner, a clerk in New York
mercantile house, who received a
salary of $4,000 per year. Mr.. Kess-
ner is well educated and of pleas
ing manners. He is of medium
hight, a blonde, with curling hair
and mustache. Mr.. Kessner soon
became greatly attached to Miss
Reiche, and it is the common re-
port that when Kessner proposed
marriage Miss Reiche accepted.
The young lady's father, it is said,
on learning of the affair, ordered
the young man to leave the house
and never return. The next day,
it Is said, Kessner obtained from
the senior member of the firm
which employed him a leave of abb
sence for a month. The same day
Kessner, it is alleged, bought
tickets for Europe for two, and
since then no trace of his where.
abouts can be found. Strangely
enough Miss Reiche also disappeared
from her fathers house on the same
day, and it is believed she married
Kessner and that they are now en-
route to Europe.

Importation OF Fox mounds.

The Westchester Polo Club, of
which james Gordon Bennett is
president, has introduced the En-
glish amusement Of fox-hunting,
and has just imported a fine pack
Of fox-hounds, A farm. house has
been secured at East Meadow Brook,
Long Island, and several members
of the club have taken up their
quarters there and built fine ken
nels and stables. The hounds are
twenty in number, and are from
the kennels Of a celebrated hound
raiser near Dublin, Ireland. They
are small, fnely-bred fox-hounds,
and are now in good training. The
owners have made their education
labor of love, taking them from
ten to fifteen miles across the coun-
try every morning, and have them
SO trained that when they are in
line any one can be brought out by
calling his name. The hunts will
be principally what are known as
drag hunts, and, beginning after
the close Of the Jerome Park races
will be held every Wednesday and
Saturday.

81 declare, Willie has upset the
water pitcherl" exclaimed Mrs.
Smith. And hastily jumping up
and throwing down her sewing, she
pounced upon her two-year old boy
like tiger, and seizing him by the
arm, gave him two or three smart
slaps, and with no gentle movement
sat him on a chair at the other end
of the room, bidding him remain
there until he could keep quiet.
The scream Willie set up at this
mode of procedure showed as much
anger as grief. He evidently felt
that his mother was a stern, unfeel-
ing tyrant, and, to his mind, not a
loving, patient and gentle mother.
Now by strange coincidence,
Mrs. Jones, who was sewing in a
house over the way, just about this
time happened to look up from her
work, and saw her little Johnny
just in the act of upsetting a water
pitcher.
"0h, Johnny! mother is so sorry
you have spilled the water" said
Mrs. Jones, in quiet but sorrow
full tone, as she gently lifted him
into chair, while she first wiped
up the water, and then with low
ing, careful hand, removed his wet
stockings and shoes, rubbed his feet
dry, and put on dry ones. Johnny's
little heart melted, and looking up
to his mother with fearful eyes,
said
"Johnny sorry, mamaw
"Mother is sorry, too," said Mrs
Jones. Johnny must never touch
the water pitcher. He won't touch
it again, will he?" said she, more
cheerfully, as she took him in hel
arms and kissed him.
"No; Johnny WON'T" said the
little fellow, and with heart full O
love to his mother and good resOlu
tions for the future, he went again
to his play. Which is the better
way, mothers?"

Sawyers, who gained such celebrity
by her defense of the American flag,
which hoated from her fathers
house, when the Confederates tried
to make her take it down. The
handsome silk flag which the city
of Philadelphia presented her with
in commemoration of this event

has worked her way up. She is now

ton 2" this brother would take off
his coat early in the hour of eluci-
dation. AS the terrors of the world,
from which man ought to escape,
would open up to his rural imagin-
alton, his long black necktie, which
was more like a bandage for a
broken limb that for a clerical
decoration, would be suddenly un-
wound and be hung across the high
box in which the elocution was
taking place, and onward would
move the language, if not the
thought. By the time this preacher
had reached the close, and was
pounding the bible by way of per-
oration, there was nothing left on
the man except a few of the most
essential articles of the toilet.

The Lost Found.

Fifty or sixty years ago it was the
custom for gentlemen wishing SER
wants to visit emigrant ships as soon
as they arrived in port. Selecting
the man or woman who pleased
them, they would pay his or her
passage money, about seventy or
eighty dollars, to the captain, agree
ing to give the servant clothing and
board, and at the end of three
years service, twenty or thirty dol
lars.
One daY a gentleman, a man of
fortune, residing in Philadelphia,
went on board the emigrant ship to
hire girl or purchase her time" "
as it was then called. He selected
one, and was shown her father. The
old man was anxious to go with his
daughter, and after some persua-
sions the gentleman purchased his
time. swell, now" said the old
man, "there'S my old wife, take
her also." There was something
so attractive in the old woman that
the gentleman bought her time.
Going together to the registers
Office to complete the bargain, the
gentleman was surprised to find
that the name which the emigrants
gave was spelled and pronounced
like his own. Inquiries ended in
discovering that he had bought the
time of his father and mother.
When six years old, a son Of the
old folks had been taken to Amer.
lea by gentleman, and they had
lost all knowledge of him; indeed
they had almost forgotten they had
a son in America. They recollected
however, that their boy had a fig.
ure of cucumber on one of his
shoulders. The newly.found son
was stripped in the Office and to the
delight Of the aged couple, there
was the birth mark.

Pulpit Habits.
New York Tribune ]

J
Professor Swing commends the
Southern Methodist Conference
which has had the courage to sug-
gest that pulpit orators should
avoid a "frequent drinking of water
during sermons" and "should not
finger the leaves of the bible, nor
pound the desk while preaching"
and that the congregation should
"wear coats to church, and walk
in softly-not like mules on a
bridge" The incident reminded
him that in an Ohio circuit there
hourished once, like green bay
tree, a Methodist preacher by the
name of Burdsell, who always
showed his earnestness over a theme
by the amount of clothing he re-
moved during the discussion of the
text. When the Sunday was rather
warm and the text was q pretty
good one, such as elbow can ye
escape if ye neglect so great saliva
