Many years ago, when speoula
ton in real estate was very active
the owner Of . farm al Green
point, (now Brooklyn, L. I.
q widow, was desirous Of selling u
and had fixed the price al go. 900
but it appeared to be overlooked fol
a long time. Finally tho widow
son. an s,sy-going countryman, Will.
at the grocery store in the villags
heard q stranger inquiring for land
and offered the farm.
What is the price ?" was asked
Zone hundred thousand dollars, >
was the bold answer.
The stranger looked over ths
property and asked, "On what
terms will it be sold?"
"One half cash, tho other half In
five annual installments, secured by
mortgage on the property"
After q few moments delibcntiou
the stranger accepted tho offer, paid
$500 as earnest, and ordered the
papers made out at once.
The son returned homo 10 an
nounce the news.
GIVE sold the farm, mother"
"You don't say 30; for how
much?"
"Guess."
"Ten thousand dollars"
"Guess again"
"You didn't get $l5, 5,OOOy"
"Guess again"
"Well, I'll make il enough this
time; $25,OOOp
And yet tho only answer WAS

II shan't guess no more, for I
know you're foolin'. John"
"Well, mother, I've sold Il for

"Good gracious r exclaimed ths
mother, when she could get her
breath. "What terms did you

rEg TwO ANG ELS.

God called the nearest angels who dwell
with him above;
The tcnder.a one was Pity, the deares
une was Love.
Arise" he said my angels a wall OF
woe and sin
Steals through the gates, Of heaven and
sa,idens all within.

The smoke of torment clouds the light
and hl,ghts the asphodels.
"tiv downward to that under world, and
ou Its souls Of pain
let Love drop smiles like sunshine, and
PITY tears like rain r.
Two faces bowed before the throne vciled
IN their golden hair:
Pour white wings iesscncd swiftly down
the dark abyss Of air.
The way was strange, the flight was long
ai lcngth the angels came
where swung the lost aud neither world,
rcd.wrapped In raylcss flame.
There PITY. sliu,ldcrlng. wept; but Love,
with mith too strong for fear
Took heart from Gods almightiness and
smiled = smile Of cheer.
Aud io iha, tear Of Pity quenched the
fane whercon Il fell.
And. with the sunshine OF tho smile, Hope
entered into hell
Two nn,ailed faces flushed with Joy
looked upward To the throne,
Pour white wings folded at the feet of
Hin who sat thereon
And deeper than the sound Of seas, more
son than falling flake.
Amidst the hush Of wing and song the
Voice Eternal spakc.

SAFE AS A SALAMANDER.-A family
in Brooklyn, in deep affection for q
son who was supposed to have per
ished in the burning of the Brooklyn
Theatre, was infinitely surprised al
his re.appearance the other day, and
in q condition that proved most con.
clusively that he had returned from
Gland Of spirits.,' The consterns.
ton his naturalization produced
caused him to exclaim:
Wassar matter r
"Ohl you're not deadY cried the
assembly.
"Don't year see (hic) I'm pooty
dead drunk?" responded the hope
full.
You weren't burned in the fire?
"Wha' fre?"
"The Brooklyn Theatre"
Never heard Of it."
The answer was true-he ha6
been on "toot," and in 3 state o
oblivion for q week, and had nov
become sufficiently restored to spoi
the mourning in that family.

The Benevolent Stranger.

There were q dozen men in Michi.
gan avenue tobacco store yesterday
smoking time away or playing check
ers, when a dreary- looking, middle.
aged stranger entered and crowded
in behind the stove. When he had
thawed out little and wiped teal
from his nose, he looked around and
asked:
"Did any of you read about that
terrible cyclone in the East?"
One or two replied that they had
seen an account of it.
"Well, gentlemen, there will be
the tallest kind of suffering down
there this winter, and it is the duty
of every man who can spare dollar
to send it to the poor victims. I
will now pass around the hat"
He passed it, and when he had
completed the circuit, it was as
empty as when he started.
"Gentlemen, I am surprised and
saddened," he remarked, as lie put
on his hat; "those people need
money, and though I'm poor man,
I'm going to forward my share. Is
there any one here who will take a
five-dollar bill and send it across the
ocean for me?"
"I suppose I could send it," re-
piled the tobacconist, showing a
cigar at the stranger.
Yes-ahem-could, eh ?" repli-
ed the latter as he bit the cigar and
Lighted it.
I'll take it !" called out seven or
eight others.
That's good. Do any of you
happen to have any fine-cut about
you?'
A full pouch was handed out, and
he lifted half the contents in his
vest pocket and went on:
Yes; want to send them five
dollars, and / want some of you to
take the money, and scoot it across
the ocean in regular business style.
I will now go out and borrow the
fve."
There was a grand rush for him,
but he was twenty-five feet ahead
and gaining as he turned into Fifth
street.

PUzzLED.-The Atlanta paper says
that staid-looking gentleman, ap-
parently q stranger, stopped at an
apple-stand on Whitehall street.
What is the price Of the oranges?'
he asked, pointing to q collection Of
large pears.
"Dees ees not de horange," said
the polite vender. "Dees ees de
California paire. One for twenty-6
cent"
"You don't mean to me tell," said
the stranger, putting his hand on an
apple, "that this is q pair?"
Pardon! no! I say dees ees de
paire. Dees ees de apple. Tree for
de ten cent"
"Well, Unjust say" continued the
stranger, picking up o handful Of
chestnuts and examining them crit
ically, "that these are the queerest
apples I ever saw"
80, my gracious! no! Dees ees de
cheseynut that grows in your own
countree. You roas' them in de

"Roast them in the fire! Well,

bananas curiously, "I don't see how
such chestnuts ss these can be i'm
proved by roasting. They seem to
be soft enough now. However,
am obliged, I'll see you later. Good
day." and the stranger passed up
the street.
"Gentlemen," said the fruit deal

crowd that had gathered, Dat man

Attempted Robbery,

On Monday night, Feb. 5. some one
attempted to break into the residence OF
Mr.. John A. Taylor, near Cromwell, in
THE county. Mr.. Taylor's son, Gilmore,
a young man just about grown, heard
the noise and saw the man standing by
the door, looking in at the window. lie
fred a pistol at him, but unfortunately
struck the door facing and the ball did
not 60 through. hence the scroundrel
escaped. hr. Taylor could have tracked
him TO where HE horse was hitched and
probably have tracked the horse home.
but he would not do so, thinking proba-
bly, that the would-be robber was sharp
enough to ride some innocent mans
horse so as to throw suspicion off from
himself, in Gaze the horse broke loose, or
be seen or tracked home and thereby
throw suspicion on some innocent man.
Ar. Taylor is stock man. and the vil-
lain, no doubt, supposed he had money
about the house. That's the last place a
thief had better 70 to for money, as he
will get lead every time instead.

Nervous ProstratiOn.

Americans like ortograI, of Basra, de-
sire that the golden stream should be
sudden and violent, and in their anxiety
to acquire wealth, overwhelm themselves
with the cares of business, until their
overtaxed systems are broken down un-
der the pressure to which they are SUBJ
jected. This is one prolific cause of ner-
vous diseases so common in this country.
Another and probably a greater one is
the very general propensity TO run into ex-
cess in excitement aud the use of Liquors
and Tobacco, which soon ruin the
strongest nervous organizations. Such
sufferers have more difficulty in obtain
ing relief than almost any other class.
DIR. RADcLIFF's SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN
WONDER is a sovereign remedy for all
nervous affections, no matter how they
were incurred. The worst cases of nerv-
GUS debility have been cured with singu.
lar rapidity by it's use. The SEVEN SEALS
So purely vegetable compound contains
