Got His Duties Mixed.

A portly Teuton in Wilkesbarre fills
the twofold position in the community
of saloon-keeper on week days and or
ganist of a church on Sundays. A
short time ago he had been up pretty
late on Saturday night waiting on
customers, and next day, while presid-
ing at the organ, found it difficult to
keep his eyes open. The preacher pro-
ceeded with his sermon to the end, and
at its conclusion the organist was fast
asleep and snoring loudly. The choir
being in readiness to commence sing
ing, some one shook the sleeping mu-
sician from his slumbers to play the
accompaniment. He woke with a start.
and electrified the congregation by
shouting at the top of his voice,

A H0mely Hirl's Strategy.

There are two young ladies in this
city, one noted for her beauty and the
other quite plain. They are sisters and
rivals. The handsome one has the
most admirers, her lovely face effectu-
ally hiding her lack of intelligence and
good sense. The homely one, although
overtlowing with wit and shreWdness,
finds it impossible to make herself at
tractive to the young men who call at
the house so long as her sister is about.
The girls mutually hate each other. A
few nights ago the homely one had her
sweet revenge. Half a dozen gentle
men were expected to be present 10
take part in music, singing, card play
ing and other enjoyments. Just before
the arrival of the guests, the homely
sister dropped a grain of morphine into
a glass of water which the other had
asked her to get, and that is what did
the business. The guests arrived, and
their hats and coats were taken by the
girls and hung in the hall. 1t was,
"Good evening, Miss -" and i" How
do you do, Mr.. -P" for about five
minutes, when the girls sat down, and
the handsomest was made the center of
an admiring group.
"The weather has been rather nice
for day or So" -'
"Y-e-s-a," replied the fair one with
yawn that caused her mouth to open
like the jaws of Blake crusher.
The group tried hard to keep her at
tention engaged. The most fluent
weather talker of the lot exhausted him.
self on meteorological phenomena, but
without effect The chap who had read
a portion of "Daniel Deronda " next
turned himself loose, but the yawns OF
that mouth reminded him that his con-
versational influence was not felt. The
musical fiend of the crowd hoped upon
the stool and belabored the piano, while
the others sang" Pull Down the Blind
but at the end of the song the beauty
was lying back in a rocking-chair fast
asleep. What was the homely girl do
ing all this while? She was making
herself as agreeable and sprightly al
possible. When the other began te
snore she apologized in the most sister
ly way. "I hope, gentlemen, you won
take offence at this. She did it just fol
a joke. You know she's aloays doinf
such original things. You won't fee
insulted, will youP' Then she tool
them out in the pantry and filled then
up with mince-pies, cold tongue, roas
turkey, etc., and when they left tina
house they came to the sworn con
clusion never to have any more to d,
with the beauty, and cultivate th
homely one more in the future than il
the past. Virginia Chronicle.

Mistaken for a Ghost.

A few months since an agent and col
lector for Obermeyer q Lehman, the
lager brewers of Bushwick, by the name
of Wolff, summarily ended his existence
by means of a pistol shot in the head.
The cause attributed was a matter OF
domestic infelicity, caused by jealousy
on the part of his wife, who suspicious
ly watched his every day movements
and kept the run of his earnings. But
as that has no bearing on the case in
point, suffice it to say that Wolff was
laid away from human sight in due
form. The firm had also in their en-
ploy casually another man named
Wolff, one of whose acquaintances was
Mr.. F. Frederick, well known peda-
gogue of the Sixteenth Ward. He had
heard and read of the death of Wolff,
and supposed of course his friend was
the one meant. One evening quite re-
Gently as Mr.. Frederick sat conversing
in the house of a friend in Bushwick
Avenue, in walked the man Wolff, who
was supposed to be dead and buried.
The CONSERVATION depicted on Mr..
Frederich's countenance was visible tc
every person present, and the usually
self possessed teacher seemed on the
point of losing his senses or doing 6
desperate act An introduction and the
explanation that followed set matter
straight and every one in the compan.
in good humor over the scare experi
enced by Herr Frederick. Hencefortl
he intends to investigate, in case an,
friend shall be reported dead. to pre-
vent any similar mistake in future

"Gloriana! you may take this dead
animal and bury the creature in the
garden. 1t will act as fertilizer"
And then he began to walk up and
down the footpath, from the door to
the gate, with his hands behind him,
and to think over the heads of the next
sermon.
On the whole, it was funnier when
the cats became people than when the
people became cats; they were so sur

were and what they we're doing
