Misdirected Letters.

An exceedingly curious illustration of
the precision with which the New York
Postofice is conducted was had few
days ago in the department in which
misdirected letters are deciphered. A
letter from Ireland came directed to
@My Mother, New York, America" OF
course it was an impossibility to tell to
whom the letter belonged, and prepare
tions were made to send it to the dead
letter Office. The same day, however, a
woman called at the general-d delivery
widow and asked for letter from her
son. The gentleman who had charge of
the deciphering bureau was immediate
ly struck with the coincidence, and sent
for the letter alluded to above. He
asked the woman where her son lived,
and when she gave the name of the
town it was found to be the same as the
postmark on the letter. Other inquiries
Justified the official in delivering the
letter to the woman, buthe insisted that
she should open it there, and, on examin-
alton, it was discovered that it was from
her son, and that she was the person for
whom it was intended. OF course if she
had asked for a letter addressed to her
name the answer would have been that
there was no such letter. Among other
curious letters received few days ago
was one addressed to "J. 81. johnson
wagon and plow maker; all kinds Of
work promptly attended to; America
The writer had evidently been instruct
ed to address in reply according to the
printed letter-head on which the com
munication had been written, and hao
literally followed instructions except II
giving the name of the town and State

The Preacher,s Story.

There were three passengers on Dy-
ersburg stage, and they were entertain
ing each other with yarns of travel
that is, two of them were doing the talk
ing. The third, a clergyman, was rather
quiet, and had little to say. The talkers
had been pouring out marvellous stories
of gigantic fish, enormous snakes, huge
mosquitoes, etc., each trying to outdo the
other in lying-all of which was evi-
IDENTIFY for the delectation of the inno-
cent and gullible-looking psrson. One
had Just finished big frog tale, and
the twain were winking at each
other and watching its effect upon the
preacher, when that individual aroused
himself, and observed:
"Pardon me, gentlemen; do you
see that cotton-gin on the right there?"
Yes, they saw cotton-gin.
"You notice that is run by an old
horsepower?
Yes, they noticed it,
"Wel that gin was once the property
of old Jason Sanders, a great hunter
and trapper in his day. One autumn,
right in the midst of the ginning
season, an epidemic broke out amongst
the stock in this section. Sanders lost
everything he had that could pull his
power, and he was forced to stop his gin
with most of his cotton in the seed.
Neither horses, mules nor steers could
he buy; and-well, sirs, he took to the
woods and caught four immense, live red
foxes oh! they were giants-nothing
like them ever seen before in this coun-
try-and the very next day, gentlemen,
| he"
"Oh, yes, he made them foxes run
bis gin. Well, that is whopper!
"Tell that to the marines, old man
"I was going to say, gentlemen, that
the very next day he took those foxes
to town and got big notice in the pa
pers. I never heard of his running his
gin with them"
And then the two travellers looked at
each other wistfuuy, and one of them
proposed that they get out and walk up
the hill.-LouisuiIle Coa4rier-JoN11aal.

Two Brothers.

There was an affecting and dramatic
scene at a wedding among colored peo-
pie in Pittsburgh last week, when two
brothers whom slavery had divided
were suddenly brought together after
long separation. They had been born
in Maryland, and the planter, whose
property they were, becoming embar-
rassed in business, was obliged to part
with some of his slaves, and the two
boys were among those whom he sold
One of them was taken to Texas, the
other to Virginia. They had grown to
be men before the war came, and never
expected to see each other again. After
emancipation they both went NORTH
and engaged in business, but they never
met. Each supposed the other to b.
dead. To this wedding went many col
ored people from the South and West
emong them the brothers. As they ap
peared to be strangers, some one intro
duced them. Before the day was owe
they discovered their relationship and
each had told the story of his life.

The yinegar-Jug Puzzle.
The Interior teIlsof q smart boy who

was an adept in measuring liquids:
You remember the eight-quart jug
was full of vinegar. The grocer had an or
der for four quarts, but had only three
quart and fve-quart measure in his
store. The boy was not allowed to pour
out and waste any of the vinegar, and
he had no other vessel.
So the first thing he did was to pour
the three-quart measure full, and then
empty it into the fve-quart measure.
Then he poured his three-auart measure

A Wonderful Bat Story.

While workmen were tearing up the
old floor of the Central freight-house at
Auburn, N. Y, lately, preparatory to re-
laying, they came across an unused
scale-box some eight inches deep and
about four feet square. 1t was pried
up from its position, and as it was be-
ing raised rattling sound was heard
inside. The men broke it open, when
out Jumped monstrous rat. Chase
was given the rodent, but the animal
managed to escape by running into a
pile of freight, The rat was as large as
a good-sized kitten, and SO gray from
age that it was almost white. The bot
tom of the box from which it emerged
was found to be completely covered to
the depth of an inch or more with pea
nut shucks, corn, corn-cobs, and the
like. The only opening that could be
discovered was small hole about an
inch and three-fourths in diameter,
through which rod had passed. When
young and small, the rat, it is supposed,
crawled into the box, and, after gorging
itself with plunder, was unable to get
out, and thus became voluntary prls-
oner. It gradually grew until it reached
enormous proportions. The materials
found in the box indicate that other
rats fed it, and thus kept it from starva'
ton. The rodent was undoubtedly con.
fined for several years, and the action
of the other animals in supplying ii
with means of subsistence shows de.
gree of intelligence that the rat has
rarely been given credit for. How the
imprisoned rat obtained water or othel
liquids to quench its thirst is mystery
but that it wes in the box for severa
years there can be no doubt. Its long
Imprisonment did not impair its physi
cal qualities to any extent, as was evi
denced by the sprightly manner IL
which it lodged about to get away from
the workmen when it was released.

Toll and Be Happy.

The Christian at Work thinks
Ruskin never said truer thing than
this: If you want knowledge, you
must toll for it; if food, you must toll
for it; and if pleasure, you must toll
for it." Toll is the law. Pleasure
comes through toll, and not by self
indulgence and Incidence. When one
gets to love work his life is happy
one. Said a poor man in Brooklyn,
the other day, with family of eleven
to provide for: "If I were worth
$1,000,0O0, I should not wish to do
much different than do every day,
working hour after hour. I love it
a thousand times better than to rest.
He has for nearly half century been
surrounded by workers, and has caught
the spirit of industry. He loves his
work better than food or sleep. He is
happy who has conquered lazinesa once
and forever.
