A friends secret is ever his property,
even when confided to another. The
confdant should lock it up, even from
his own thoughts. He should not be
content with refraining from betTqying
it TO others, he should also refrain from
betraying it to himself. If man con
signs casket containing treasure TO the
care Of another, he will justly feel that
his confidence has been to degree vio-
lated if he comes to know that the latter
has been in the habit Of unlocking the
casket and poring over its contents day
after day as if it were his own, and that,
too, in an exposed position. So with
tine secret. Though confided to friend,
it still belongs to him by whom it was
contided, who has his own reasons for
performing this act Of friendship; and
to have il continually before the mind
is not only making, in one sense, anoth-
er's property ones own, but il is ex-
posed to the danger Of escaping at any
unguarded moment in one form or an
other, sufficiently at least to give grounds
to surmises which may closely hear upon
tile truth.

A dramatist sitting BY friend at

all right at the same time slipping in

extracted from his pocket. The story
may pass, for, although honor among

that regular practitioners act on the

Trihers with feminine affections do
not always get off cheaply. A young
clergyman wise enough to choose well,
but foolish enough to allow himself to
be ruled by his friends, after proposing
to young lady, declined to fulfil the
engagement, and, being sued for breach
Of promise, was cast into damages
$4,000. This brought him to his senses.
Seeking the plaintiff, he owned that he
lad behaved UNANIMOUSLY, but vowed that
/ he had loved her all the while and loved
her still, and prayed her to forgive and
forget. MY friends" said he, "can
make no objection now; they cannot
say you are without a penny, since you
have $4,000 Of your very own" His
pleading proved irresistible, and the lady
and money were soon his own again.

4 SMART DARKY.

In the year 1851, when the whole
world Was thinking and talking Of the
Worlds Fair in Hyde Park, the Colonel
Of the Second West India regiment was
one day startled on parade by the ap-
proach Of his bugler to make the modest
request Of a furlough Of sufficient length
to enable him to 60 over to London to
see the exhibition. Cufey was sternly
ordered back to the ranks, with the al
tentative of the guard-room, and he re-
tired, muttering, however, that, fur
Tough or no furlough, his journey to
London was fixed fact.
The next morning he was missing at
roll-call, the fact being that he had en-
gagged himself as stoker in one Of the
mail steamers, and was at that moment
sailing pleasantly out Of the harbor.
He came to London, saw the exhibition,
had his spree out, and, when he was
tired or had spent all his money, he pre-
sented himself at the Horse Guards and
gave himself up as deserter. IT was
some time before he could gain belief
for his singular tale, and had to play a
selection Of the Colonel's numerous bu-
gle calls before he could prevail on the
authorities to order him into custody.
At last he was duly taken prisoner and
shipped for the West Indies. along
with detachment going out.
When the ship had been some days
out at sea, the officer in command, 4
young Lieutenant, found great difficulty
in collecting the men at meal-time, hav-
ing no bugler with his detachment.
"On this hint" Cuffey "spake," po-
ltely offering to relieve the officer Of q
world of trouble by playing daily the
necessary calls His offer was accepted
and the service duly performed during
the remainder Of the voyage. On the
arrival Of the ship, Cuffey was delivered
to his angry Colonel, who Immediately
ordered him to be taken into custody
preparatory to regimental court-martial
just, however, as the guard was TAX
ing him off, he called a parley, and po
litely informed the Colonel that he coulC
not be tried as deserter, inasmuch as
having done duty since the commission
Of the act, he was now as free as befor,
he left the regiment. There was nj
gainsaying this well-known point .

PEELED to content himself with simpl,

Persons travelling in the South after
the close of the Rebellion could see on
the telegraph posts on every route lead
ing into New Orleans and in all public
thoroughfares large signs" Buy your
shirts of Moody -" Go to Moody's to
get your shirts, etc, etc.
One afternoon stranger entered
the shirt store, and addressed Mr..
Moody:
II have come for my shirts.
"Have you purchased shifts Of us ?"
"No, sir"
"Oh, you wish to purchase? r.
"No, sir. This morning ] put on the
bed at the hotel some shirts to be
washed, and when ] went to my room
after dinner, in place Of my shirts |
found this notice on my bed produc-
ing placard, $50 to Moody's and get
your shirts y, "and so have come for
them"
"What is your name, sir ?"
"Tom Ochiltree, of Texas, and, after
asking his size and his room at the ho-
tel, Mr.. Moody said
every we'll, Mr.. Ochiltree, you will
fad your shirts at your room," and Al
once dispatched dozen Of his best
shirts to carry out the joke.
As the "joke found its way into the
city papers, and was copied into all the
provincial papers as good joke on "T
o." perhaps Moody got value received
in the way of advertising and 7. o. en-
loved the free shirts.
