again. He had been hard at work
all day, and at last, in spite of
everything, he grew sleepy. Fin.
ally he nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if some
body had touched him. He awoke
with a start and saw nobody near,
though in the centre ofthe room
stood white figure.
Curse you, get out Of this ? be
exclaimed, in fright, using the
very first words that came to his
tongue. .....:
The figure held up it's right
hand and slowly approached him.
He started to his feet. The spectre
came nearer, pressing him in the
corner.

ney,i in his extremity. -. o.
Involuntarily he stepped back,
still the figure advanced, coming
nearer and extending both arms,
as if to take him in a CHASTITY en-
brace. The hair stood up on Bar
ney's head ; he grew desperate,
and, as the cleaning arms would
have touched him, be fell upon the
ghost like a whirlwind, tearing of
the sheet, humping, pounding,
beating, and kicking, more and
more outraged at the resistance
he met, which told him the truth.
As the reader knows, he was big
and Fritz was little; and while
pummeling the little tanner un-
mercifully, and Fritz was trying
to lunge at Barney's stomach to
take the wind out Of him, both
plunging and kicking like horses,
they were terrified by hearing
voice cry:
Take one of your own size, big
Barney
Looking around, they saw the
corpse sitting up in his coffin.
This was too much. They re-
leased each other and sprang for
the door. They never knew how
they got out; but they ran home
in bot haste, painting like stags.
SO she married Ernst; and
though she sent Fritz and Bar
ney invitations to the wedding,
they did not appear. If they dis
covered the trick, they kept the
knowledge to themselves, and
never faced Barbara's laughing
eyes again.

was the matter there, and | moved.
In fact-but what's the use talking.
/ Now I've quit moving.' Now my
friend; now you are thoroughly &C.
climated. You are a genuine New
Yorker. And Furthermore, genuine,
thoroughly aoclimated New Workers
understand how. it is, about these
things. If they aoere to see things in
apple pie order-everything just as it
ought to be when they came to see
you, likely enough they would say.
"The poor creature doesn't get enough
to eat" You see they are not i'm
posed upon as your cousin from the
country might be.
f., THOSE WHO DON'T.
But here as elsewhere, there are
persons-regular Bourbons, who never
can learn, and they keep on moving
till they die, some Of them in the
effort. Then too, as you will see at a
glance, there is constant influx Of
fresh and verdant spirits who not yet
broken in, declare that they will have
things to suit them, and the two to-
gether make so considerable an army
that its question when you meet
any body, whether the. question won't
be, "Where are you?" instead Of
"Hoao are you ?" We get used to
either form of salutation. Then too,
cases have been known where even
the most resigned persons have packed
their trunks and engaged the express
man. I knew a most estimable lady
a christian-and she spent por-
tion of every day, rain or shine, Gun
less it stormed dreadfully) in Hooking
for board" I was in the same house
a floor below, and she used to stop in
and tell me her experience. For the
most part, she took it out in "look-
ing" for she did not move oftener
than once in six months, and the
week after she got to one place, she
began to look for another. & Then
finally went to Heaven, without ever
finding a. comfortable boarding place.
Some TOO inquisitive an individual
may inquire, "What is the compen-
sation for all this?" The only an
swer to be given is, "The fact that
you are resident Of New York"

GHHLDREN's NERVES.

On the street the otherday, says
Scri5ner's Monthly, we saw afretful
mother roughly shaking and child
ing, for "being so cross" a sensi-
tive child, who shrank in nervous
terror from the harsh blast of a
toy trumpet, sounded in his ear
by ajolly little urchin, who evil
IDENTIFY had intended to give pleas
ure, not pain. The frightened
child, with pale face, trembling
lips, and pathetic little suppressed
sob, struggled manfully to Goa
quer his nerves and his wounded
heart. "Oross" was clearly the
very last word that should have
been applied to the suffering little
fellow whose nerves were set a.
tremble for at least one whole day
not so much by the shock Of the
discordant blast, which a few kind
words might have sootbed away,
as by the subsequent rough hand
ling and .rougher tones of his
mother. and by his. own very
great effort at self-eommand.
Of course, the cruelty of THIS
mother Nas unconscious, but not
on that account, much the less
culpable. It should be the busi-
ness of those who have the care
of children, not only to see that
they have proper food and cloth.

paying to" the nervous system, we
cannot yet expect to know the
reasons why a noise, an odor, a

to few may cause terror, or pain,
or faintness, or death. Yet, by
observation, We may find out what
affects unpleasantly the nerves of
the child intrusted to our care,
and, by avoiding as far as posi-

nervous fear or irritation, and
by gently soothing it. when such

But they do not suit me- said
Barbara, coolly tying her curls
before tho mirror.

the mirror, letting down one raven
tress, and looping up another.

That evening, Ernst, the gun
smith, knocked at the door.

said, going to the girl, who stood
upon the hearth, coquettishly

the other. 3

i VOW it,
Ernst turned straightway, and
followed o lad in waiting, through
dim rooms and passages, echoing
stairs, along narrow damp ways,
where rats scuttled before them,
to q low chamber. The boy look
cd pale and scared, and evidently
wanted to hurry away but Ernst
made him wait until he took y
survey Of the room by the aid ofhis
lamp. 1t was very large and full
Of recesses, with high windows in
them, which were barred across.
He remembered that old Grand
sire Fer.os had been insane sew
eral years before his death, so this
precaution had been"necessary for
the safety Of himself and others.
In tho centre Of the room stood a
coffin ; beside it was placed a
chair. The room was otherwise
perfectly empty. - !
Ernst stretched himself in the
coffin.

Barbara that it is a very good ft,'

So Barney was conducted to his
post by the lad, who had been in
structed in the secret and whose
voluntary stare at Ernst's placid
face as it lay in the coffin was in
terpreted by Barney to be natural
awe of a corpse. He took his seat
and the boy left him alone with

coffin.
