SYMPATHETIC STRANGERS. "A good
story is told Of a ell.known New
York broker, who, on his way home
from the club the other evening,
managed to occupy considerably
more than two thirds Of the Madison
avenue sidewalk. In this predica-
ment he was met by two seedy indi-
viduals, who first relieved him of his
watch, and then tumbled him over
into the snow. AS he lay there
shouting for help, two other individ
uals came along, and inquired:
"What's the matter?'
"Why" said the broker, "here I've
-hic--been robbed of my-hic-
watch"
Didn't they take your money!"
asked the strangers.
"Don't know" said the broker,
feeling in his breast pocket for the
wallet. "No--here 'tis-hic-mon-
ey's all right"
"Well, We'll take that, then" said
the strangers, as they seized the wal
let, and disappeared around the first
corner.

us TO get out, to yield up all our val
uables and make no fuss, enforcing
their civil demands by the gentle
persuasion of cooked revolvers.
Our merchant and his family had
sheen there before, and knowing
the ropes" they were good naturally
complying. Monsieur julius was
terribly frightened, and seemed to b
awaking from some horrible dream.
He sat there staring at his adored
one, and she was laughing as hard as
she could at his plight, and coolly
drew jewelled pistol, and smiling
the old sweet smile, she softly order
ed him to give up his purse, and not
to use his weapons.
In two short hours he had made
her an idol, and now this revelation
was sarcastic. Some pagans wor.
ship the crocodile; their god de-
lights to devour them, which is liter
ally self immoation for them.
The beautiful serpent turned for a
moment to me and said, in her most
winning tones:
"Why, doctor, how dilatory YOU
are when called to see your pa
lients."
I replied, "Be patient, please!
Well, here's a prescription, full

And now by a sleight of hand
which | had often practiced, l ierked
a little morocco case from an inside
coat pocket, sprang it open, grabbed
the two loaded revolvers, one in each
hand, and discharged them again
and again. 1t was all done so quicka
y that our assalants were stretched
out upon the earth.
Marguerite turned on me like a IT,
gress bereft of her cubs. / would
not harm woman, but deity struck
her weapon her hand. In her grief
she forgot every thing; she sprang
from the coach, bounded to the body
of the best dressed of the brigands,
and threw herself upon the lifeless
clay, tenderly crying in passionate
Spanish: "Caro! Caror'
Doubtless he was her paramour. I
was sorry for her, but could not help
her grief. So jumped out, seeing
some we'll caparisoned horses in the
adjacent chapparal.
Our virtuous party of five were
soon provided with steeds, and as
we started I bowed very profoundly
to her queenship, and merrily cried:
] she laughs best who laughs last"
| We made our escape to the next
station; where we got another car
riage, and continued on our way re-
|joicing, all, finally, arriving at our
respective destinations. -[Dr. La

A long time ago
There dweIt a maid, whose name was
Lilo,

Above her grave the grass has grown -
A long time ago,
Her spirit tlPd-I'm left alone
Oh! how long ago.
Our hearts were joined with purest love
Long, long ago!
And still she loves with wOman's love,
AS long ago!
On Seraph wings she came to me,
All! long ago,
And whispered Love, I'm still with
thee,
AS once long ago!
Her angel lips were pressed to mine
@, long ago;
She whispered softly "Iaam thine,
AS long, long ago"
Well meet where we shall part no more
As once long ago,
On that far distant happy shore,
Where grief We'll never know
