Midnight Burglar Panlcs.

A servant who had been posted in 3
downstairs apartment with a double
barreled gun was disturbed In his mid
night slumbers by the sound Of foot
steps. Rushing 10 his window, which
he opened, he observed a figure standing
between two bushes at q few yards dis
lance "Who are you?" said the ser
want: and receiving no answer. added,
"If you don't speak III fire." In a few
E'oments he discharged his gun at the
legs Of the figure, and when the smoke
had cleared away, and the male portion
of the household had rushed 10 the
rescue cloth d in night attire and armed
with firearms AID clubs, II was discoy-
cred that the fhithful guardian had shot
a favorite p.Nm the legs. One gent. G.
man had Surrounded his house with
wires which were frightened at n certain
hour every ev, ming and connected with
spring guns. Contented with his secur-
ity, and oblivious Of his ingenious de-
fensive cOntrivances, he one night went
out to see whether it was freezing, and
while pacing about near his door he
touched one of the t~reacherous wires,
when there was instantaneously a ter
rifle explosion close TO his ear, and be-
fore he had fairly recovered from the
surprise, he narrowly escaped receiving
a severe bl W on the head from a servant
who had hurried to the spot on hearing
the noise.
Another gentleman who had taken no
special precautions against thieves, on
getting into bed, distinctly heard a
steady filing goirg On in "A room below.
The stories of recent burglaries imme-
diately flashed across his mind in their
most ghastly form. Lacking a better
weapon, he thrust tic poker ,atween
the bars ofthe CRATE. willie he bedecked
himself in slippers, evening trousers and
n long dressing-gown Of Oriental fabric.
Looking out of the window, he per.
ceived a faint glimmer from the
beneath, and the filing was more dis
tinct than ever. Despite the entreaties
of his wife he sailed forth to the fray,
bed-candle in one hand and the red-hot
poker in the other. On arriving ut the
door of the suspected room he could see
the reflection of a light beneath the door,
and on trying the handle found 1t locked
on the inside. The filing, which had
been proceeding very briskly as he
reached the door, now ceased altogether.
There was an awful pause of a moments
duration, after which, with true British
pluck, he burst the door open with two
mighty kicks-to find his butler sitting
in his pantry engaged in decorative
wood carving As may be easily i'm
agined, that valuable servant thought
that what n resent writer calls 1.-THE
devil of Scripture had come for him,
when the gorgeously-dressed figure of
his master brandishing his fiery wand
burst with a crash into his chamber

An Easy Death.

DR.. Sam johnson was a dear lover Of
tea, and drank it freely. On a certain
occasion he CHANGED to be taking tea in
company where was present a woman
who not only held the fragrant herb in
holy horror, but who believed it to be
poison. She sat near the doctor and be-
held him receive his sixth cup. She
had borne it thus far in silence, but
when she saw the good man about to
empty another cup, after having drank
five of them, she felt it her duty to
speak, which she did, feelingly and EN-.
~phatically:
"My dear Doctor Johnson, do you
know what you are doing? Doyou know
that you are drinking poisonp If you
are given to that habit, you may be sure
it is killing you"
The burly doctor looked at her, first
in amaze and then quizzically, with the
waiting cup suspended. With a rever-
Mt nod he replied: AL
MADAM, / thank you for your con-.
Germ in my welfare, but on my account
you need not be alarmed. l have been
many, many years at this work, and if,
as you say, it is killing me, it must be
an easy death to die. Let me hope that
your exit may be as vigorously health
full aud as calmly placidl'
And he raised his cup to his lips.
A physician who had been called to
