The BOWery Bow.

1t is related of Thackery taat, being
very anxious to see "Bowery Boy" he
went with a friend into the haunts of
that peculiar creature to look for one.
Very soon his companion pointed out
to him genuine specimen, standing on
the corner of street against lamp
post, red-shirted, black-trowsered,
soap-locked, shiny-hatted, with a cigar
in mouth elevated at an angle Of forty
five degrees.
After contemplating him for a few
moments, Thackery said to his friend
that he would like to hear the fellow
speak-to talk with him-and asked if he
might do so.
"Surely,' he was told without hcsita-
ton; ego to him and ask him to direct
you somewhere
Thereupon the curious stranger ap-
preached, and said, politely: "My friend,
1 should like to go to" such or such a
place.
"Well," replied the Bowery boy, in
his peculiar and quite inexpressi-
BILE tone, and without moving any
thing but his lips, as he looked lazily up
at the tall, gray-haired novelist, "well,
sonny, you can go, if you won't stay too
long,"
Thackery was quite satisfied, and we'll
he might have been, He had seen and
heard the real thing.

she asked hesitat1ngly, "a great deal OF
danger iu battle?" ''Well, yes,' the
captain replied refectively, ''thcre is,
there is. So many men standing around
you know, and such careless handling of
firearms, as is almost sure to occur dur
ing battle, makes it really very unsafe. y
Miss Lollipop shuddered, and then re-
sumed: care not some people severely
injured at times?" Eyes," the captain
said, ''They are. I once had friend
who was hurt SO badly that he coul dn't
leave his room for several days." And
then she said she thought there ought to
be law against them, and he said he be-
lieved the legislature of Iowa contemplate
ed passing some such Inv at its next
session. And she said she was so glad.

ed to lower the pulpit little, but his
friend declined, and, on the contrary, de-
sired that it should be raised higher.
It seemed that he was near-sighted, but
tor some reason preferred not to wear
spectaeles. The desk being raised he
proceeded to pile upon it the closed pull
pit Bible, two hym-books, pile of about
dozen sermons, and finally his manu-
script, and then, his bald head just glim-
mering over the top of his ertempore for

John Fem, farm laborer, summoned
by his employer for leaving his work for

the employer aforesaid to the amount of
five shillings. Fem admitted the fact.
but showed in excuse that while at work
he heard cries OF distress from cottage
hard by, and, going thither, found a fu-
rlous mailman who had overpowered his
keeper, and would have soon dispatched
him. With Fenn's aid the lunatic was
mastered and restrained until more help
could be obtained. The magistrate, in
giving Judgment, said that Fem had
doubtless saved the mans life, and his
act was both brave and humane, but he
should have asked leave of his employer
before doing even good deed, in time
belonging to the latter. It was urged in
j ohn's behalf that, if he had waited to
ask leave, the good deed would have been
left undone, for it would then have been
too late to save the mans life, but this
excuse did not auail, and he was fined five
shillings.

ON THE TOWN.
BY r. H. STODDARD.

The lamps are lighted, the streets arc full, !.
For, coming and going like the waves OF
the sea,
Thousands are out on this beautiful night;
They jostle each other, out shrink from me!
Men hurry by with stealthy glance,1
Women pass with their eyes cast down;
Even the children seem to know
The shameless girl of the town.
Hated and Stunned walk the street,
Huntingdon what? For my prey, tits said;
look at it, though, in different light;
For this nights shame is my daily bread;
My food, my shelter, the clothes wear!
Only for this might starve or drown,
The world has disowned me-what can I do
But live and die on the town?

a low ridge in the prairie, the advance
scout came galloping in with a ball
through his arm, and moment later
yelling band of Sioux began to circle
about the traiQ. To dismount and form
the wagons into a triangular barricade
was the work of but a few moments.
Most of the men knew their danger and
how to meet it. The Sioux were in large
force and narrowed their circles in the
assurance of an easy victory. Their bullets
began dropping in almost Immediately.
In three minutes after the ball opened
