" There was family OF burglars ia
New York who were always getting into
trouble, and always got Recorder --
to help them out The Recorder who Is
an able lawyer, must have made thou
sands of dollars out of them, for he
always charged very able fees. But he
hasn't defended any Of that family for
some years, and very few people know
the reason but I'll tell you why. The
family were getting pretty short Of
funds, and one of the brothers was
caught In burglary. They went TO
the Recorder to get him out, but he said
he would not touch the case for less
than 1900, to be paid when the brother
was out. They tried to beat down the
price, but the Recorder was immovable.
Then we'll pay him the money!" said
one of the other brothers, 'and much
good may II do him. The Recorder
argued the case, got the prisoner off scot
free, and was paid the $4,000 In United
States bonds, which he put In a little
satchel, and started for home in the
cars, for the case was tried In little
town not far from New York. One of
the other brothers followed him into
the cars, and took the bonds out of the
satchel very neatly, and before dark
they were back in the hands of their old
owners. The Recorder hasn't done
anything for this family since. He and
the burglars are out.

Didn't Pull Back.

While riding in Union county, Oregon,
recently, E. A. M'Allister, herdsman,
came upon wildcat. Unslinging his
lasso he slung the same and caught the
beast fairly around the neck. Instead Of
pulling back, however, the wildcat made
for horse and rider with powerful leaps.
M'Allister fled for his life, with the end
of the rope tied to the pommel of his
saddle. He ran at break neck speed for
a mile, and then, looking back, saw
that the animal was dragging dead
behind.

An Ingenious Scamp.

THE following details of piece Of
i roguery lately practiced, surpasses
in ingenuity and wit, anything recorded
In the annals of the living:
An individual, well dressed, pre-
sented himself at the shop of female
who sold ready-made linen In one of the
retired parts Of New York City and
observed to her, that she appeared to
keep large assortment of gentlemen 3
shirts.
80, yes, she had them of all descrip-
tlons, and very cheap"
Pray, madame,' - said he, have you
any garments of similar description
and superior quality, for ladies / am
about TO be married and wish to make
my intended wife a present Of three
Dozen"
Certainly, certainly, sir,I have some
which L am sure will suit you," and
forwith three parcels, each containing
dozen, were exhibited on the COUNTER
One was opened and the stranger exam
ined 1t with much attention at last he
said nm afraid these are too short;
then seemed lost for moment In
thought,at the difficulty which presented
itself to his mind of ascertainlng the
precise size wanted-an idea seemed to
strike him -" Madam" he said, I" you
are about the height and size of the lady
shall shortly marry, would 1t be asking
too much of you to ask you to draw one
of these over your dressp"
"Not at all, I'll do it with great deal
of pleasure"
In minute the good woman appear
ed in the body of the shop completely
enveloped In one. The stranger looked
at her, walked round her, and stopped,
apparently to draw down the garment
behind her to full length in doing which
he very adroitly fastened her clothes to
1t with o large pin. She, supposing his
examination finished, attempted to take
1t off again, when, to her astonishment,
she found her clothes rose up with it,
At this moment, the fellow grasped the
parcels and made off with them. The
poor woman hesitated to follow made
another attempt to divest herself of the
supernuous covering, but failing to do
so, ran after him. So much time, how
ever, was lost, and so many boys col
lecting about her, at the novel appear
ance she presented, that she was soon
compelled to return to her shop, and put
up with the loss.

Three Good Lessons.

WHEN / was boy eleven years old
w (said Mr.. s. an eminent American
merchant,) my grandfather had a fine
flock of sheep, which were carefully
tended during the war of those times.
1 was the shepherd boy, and my busi-
ness was to watch the sheep in the
fields. A boy who was more fond of
his book than the sheep was sent with
me, but left the work to me, while he
lay under the trees and read. did not
like that, and finally went to my grand
father and complained of it. 1 shall
never forget the kind smile of the old
gentleman as he said:
"Never mind, Jonathan, my boy, If
you watch the sheep you will have the
sheep"
"What does grandfather mean by
that ?" said to myself. 81 don't expect
to have sheep" My desires were mod
crate. could not exactly make out in
my mind whatit was, but he had been
to Congress in WashingtQn's time; so
concluded it was all right, and 1 went
back contentedly to the sheep.
After got into the field could not
keep his words out of my head. Then L
thought of Sundays lesson: "Thou
hast been faithful over few things;
will make thee ruler over many thing. :"
l began to see through it. "Never mind
who neglects his duty, be you faithful
and you will have your reward.n

A Really Honest Man.

A farmer called on the late Earl Fitz-
william to represent that his crop Of
wheat had been seriously injured in a
field adjoining certain wood where his
lordship's hounds had, during the win
ter, frequently met to hunt. The damage
was estimated by the farmer at ESQ,
which the Earl Immediately paid. AS
the harvest approached, however, the
wheat grew, and in those parts Of the
field which were the most trampled the
wheat showed strongest and most luxu-
rant. The farmer went again to the Earl
and said:
:" / find that have sustained no loss
at all, for where the horses had most cut
up the land the crop is the best, and
therefore have brought the ESQ back
again."
"Ah," exclaimed the Earl, "this Is az
1t should be between man and man. -
He then entered into conversation with
the farmer, asking him several questions
about his family, how many children
he had and what was the age of each.-
He then wrote out and gave the farmer
a check for CT 900, saying:
stake care of this, and when your
eldest son becomes Of age present 1t 10

duced it,

Profitable Patients.

The most wonderful and marvellous
success, in cases where persons are sick
or wasting away from a condition of
miserableness, that no one knows what
ails them,-profitabIe patients for doc
tors-is obtained by the use of Hop Bit
ters. They begin to cure from the first
dose, and keep it up until perfect health
and strength are restored. Whoever is
afflicted in this way need not suffer,
when they can get Hop Bitters. See 9TH
er column. 1872.

An Essay on Man.
MAN was made in dry weather.
WI He was made of dust.

MAN was made in dry weather.
lVI He was made of dust.
Quite number have never recovered
from their creation-they are still dry.
It's mans nature to be discontented.
Adam had q monopoly, but he couldn't
be happy without some one to crow
over.
For while he knocked around over
the garden of Eden, and then went to
the house; but he had to cook his own
supper, there was no stove-wood chop
ped, and things were in a bad state
generally.
The next morning it was the same
way. He had to make his own bed and
sweep out. His socks were dirty, and
his arm would run through hole in
his sleeve. So he was dissatisfied.
The next night when he went to
sleep, the Creator punished him by
making one of his ribs into a woman.-a
great misfortune to the race.
1t has been six thousand years since
that rib was lost, and yet man continues
feeling for it,
This is very feeling subject.
Pursuit in this case is said to be sweet
er than possession.
