How He Looked.

A person in Maryland, who was addicted
to drunkenness, hearing considerable up
roar in his kitchen one night, had the Curl
osity to step without noise to the door to
know what was the matter, when he found
his servants indulging in the most unbounded
roars of laughter at a couple of negro boys
who were mimicking himself in his drunken
fts-as how he reeled and staggered, how he
looked, and nodded, and hiccoughed, and
tumbled.
The pictures which these little darkies
drew of him, and which had filled the rest
with such inexhaustable merriment, struck
him with so salutary disgust that from
that night he became perfectly sober man,
to the joy of his wife and children. It's a
pity some other men could not see themselves
initiated in like manner.

A Very Obedient Dog.

Last Tuesday night, says the New Orleans
Republican, a stranger, just for amusement,
gave several bystanders specimens of his
dogs requirements, at the corner of Perdido
and St. Charles streets. The master quietly,
without gesture of any kind, told his dog to
walk across the street, find little wagon
and get into it. Doggy obeyed, though re-
luctantly, as the wagon was cart, but
finally complied. He was then told to hunt
up fre-plug and mount it. His keen eyes
searched moment, and on the instant poor
Tray pleased his owner. He was then CONF
manded to hunt up lamp-post, and put his
fore-feet on it. This done, he was told to
go into the Pelican saloon, find chair, and
sit in it; and then to lie down and act like
poisoned dog. These orders were given In
the most commonplace tone of voice, and
most of the time the beast could not see his
master, yet he obeyed quite as readily as a
willing servant, apparently understanding
the English language very well. Of all the
dogs that ever showed off on Charles street,
that one is entitled to the premium. Those
who witnessed the performances were not
only amused, but greatly astonished; In
fact, one individual, having witnessed por-
ton of the antics, declared that he could
not and would not suffer himself to view
acts that looked so altogether unnatural.

STRANGE STORY OF FORGOTTEN
WEALTH.

A remarkable instance of lapse of men,
DRY was related at Dartmouth (Eng.) a
short time ago. A bed-ridden old woman
who had long been in receipt of out7d door
relief, had lived in an extremely INDECENT
and miserable condition, paying only Cd.
week for the attendance of woman to
wait on her. This woman had the Curl
osity to unlock and search a box in the
old woman's room, and there found a bag
containing hundred sovereigns. A gen.
tleman who had befriended the invalid was
called in, and she declared her utter for
getfulness that any money was In her
room. The relieving officer, however, has
laid claim to the hoard of gold with view
to the repayment to the guardians Of the
sum expended on the old woman's main
tenance. She formerly kept a cider
shop.

Another SOmnambulist.

We protest against somnambulists. Did
any one ever hear that one Of these unfor-
tunates performed good action? Usually,
their career is one of evil. In proof comes
an incident from the South, concerning a
newly married couple who declared that
their house was entered night after night,
silver, clothes, etc., stolen, chloroform adj
ministered to the inmates, and a copious
supply of light-wood and kerosene found in
some portion of the house nearly every
morning. Private watchmen were employed
to watch the premises, and two young men
spent almost every night in walking around
the house, resembling two movable armor-
les, but all to no purpose. Five or six times
during the night the young married man
would suddenly rise up in bed and fire his
pistols in rapid succession toward window,
and break the glass into atoms, while his
wife would scream at the top of her voice
and arouse the neighbors. This state of af
fairs continued for two or three weeks, at
the end of which time several mysterious

As she spoke, size turned from the stranger
and walked rapidly toward the staircase.
Before she had gone half dozen PAGES, the
hand of her masked guide was laid upon her

AS the stranger spoke, he unlocked a

drew the trembling woman into this ante
room and locked the door behind him.
''Maud Dumont, he said, solemnly 'the
hour of retribution has come, and the day of

POOR HUMAN NATURE.

An afflicted girl called upon the pastor Of
fashionable church, to thank him for the
great comfort his teachings had given to q
friend then lying dead in her house, and to-
bear her dying request that he should attend
her funeral. The street, house, and time
was named. The girl wept ,and the pastor
was deeply affected. The little money of
both had been exhausted in the sickness and
the preparations for the funeral. Every
thing was ready but the grave. Was there
any society that helped bury the deadf
There was none. But the pastor opened his
pocket-book and promptly rendered FIVE dos-
lars to complete the arrangements for the
funeral. The girl would not touch it
would not think of such thing. After an
earnest plea on the pastors part, the visitor
would take it only as a loan, to be returned
in short time, and with many thanks de-
parted. The pastor entered the remarkable
case in his notebook, with which to refresh
the saints when they came together. He
took a carriage and started for the funeral.
He found the street and the house very east
ly-but, alas! no corpse. Nobody was sick
nobody had died; the girl was not to be
found, and the whole was deliberate plan
to cheat the pastor out of the petty sum OF
FIVE dollars

A recent writer on French manners OBJ
serves SIT is one of the highest merits of
the system that it tacitly lays down the
principle that all persons meeting in the
same house know each other without the
formality of an introduction. Any man
may ask girl to dance, Or may speak to
anybody at private party. Another merit
of French manners is the general absence
of n,auuaise honte. If a boy drops his book
at church he picks it up without blushing.
A French woman takes off her bonnet and
arranges her hair before the glass in a rail-
way waiting-room, without thought of the
presence of bystauders. In her eyes all
such things are so natural-so much mat
ter of course, that it never occurs to her to
make any fuss ABOUT them"
This is neither Indifference to others nor
desire to ''show off," It proceeds from a
sense of propriety which is very much to be
applauded. In this country very absurd
ideas prevail about these proprieties among
both men and women. A good rule to follow
is the French rule-to act, in all situations,
with the independence and composure of a
well-bred person.

THE MARRIAGE FEE.

Parson Allen, of D., was quite wag, as
we'll as peculiarly interesting preacher.
BE was often called upon to perform the
marriage ceremony, and his peculiarities on
such occasions often furnished supply OF
merriment long after the parties had retired
from the parsonage.
On one occasion after the marriage knot
had been tied, the bridegroom supposing
that the parson was entitled by law to a Ger
tain fee, and would therefore return the
change, handed the minister ten dollar
bill, which he carefully folded, and placed
in his pocket. The parson having noticed
the Y in the corner of the old State bank
note, kept up a lively conversation, COM
menting on the ups and downs of life, till
the groom became somewhat nervous over
the delay in relation to the change, and he
ventured to say:
"Parson Allen, that was ten dollar bill
l gave you.''
Eyes, so l perceive. You are very gen
erous. 1t is not often that receive so large
a fee. A comfortable thing. it is to have 4
bank note in ones pocket And then he
gave some amusing illustrations Of selfish
ness, and another ten minutes of precious
time was consumed.
Again the groom ventured to remind tina
parson that he had not returned the change
he expected, and he hesitatingly suggested:
Perhaps you did not think that the
bill that [ handed you was ten, did you,
Parson AIlen?'
80 yes, noticed that it was. [ assure
you that | have not been so surprised in 4
long time. [ always think on such occa-
sions that the husband has an appreciative
regard for his worthy partner, and pre-
sumo you regard your wife, that now is,
worth at least ten dollars, and doubt If
you would have the knot united for twice
that sum, would you, Mr.. M"

"But is there no regular fee which the min
lister is allowed to take for marrying
folks?"
"Not that l am aware Of" said the par
son. 1--WE always leave the fee to be fixed
by the parties who get married"
And SO the bridegroom, evaded at all
points, gave up the efforts to get back any
change

A row of lamps that fame and flare
A strangely troubled world behind,
With passion, like desert wind,
To breathe its fierce enchantment there.
A regal beauty, strangely fair,
a paid face, behind whose smile
A touch of pathos bides the while)
With white camelias in her hair.
The music OF woman's voice
Whose laughter ended in a moan,
Like sweet bells tangled in tone
No sound to make the heart rejoice.
The dawning of brighter morn,
rifting in the clouds above,
For her who gave back love for love.
Yet dared to battle scorn with scorn.
The resting of wind-tossed bark,
A sweet dream in a gloomy night,
The memory OF whose vanished light
But makes the shadows doubly dark.
The glaring world of sin once more,
The hollow mirth, the scornful smiles,
The pitch that touches and defles,
And then the sacrifice is DER.
Mirth, music, song--all, all have fled
The dawning of eternal peace;
A weary heart hath found surcease;
A lover mourneth Ser his dead.

'Why do you say 'were? Is Mr. Suydam
dead?"
"Yes-the brothers died on the same
night-the night of the ninth of October.
1t is strange affair, and am anxious to
know more of Henry Raymond. Any little
information you can give me will possibly
be of benefit. AT the inquest, you stated
that you knew of no object which could
have led to the destruction of your husband,
except robbery. Sometimes we have reasons
for not stating painful facts. Is it so with
you-have you not kept something back?"
Mrs. Raymond was silent.
MADAM" said the artist, in severe tone,
''do you desire to have your husbands
slayer escape?"
The hot blood mounted to the widows
temples.
"What is that to you, sir?" she said,
haughtily.
"Do not get angry. only ask for in
formation upon which to work"
81 am ready to inform you, sir, replied
Mrs. Raymond, in a gentler tone, and the
color faded from her cheeks. "But trust
honor will keep you from ever repeating
anything l say. My husband was, for some
time prior to his death, great drinker and
gambler. His losses at the gaming table
were severe, and he began to restrict our
comforts. He at last demanded that l
should make over to him some property
which | held in my own name, and, upon
my refusing to do so, he swore that the day
would come when 1 should regret using him
so meanly. My love for Henry Raymond
could not endure the GOODNESS he ever
showed me after this event Possibly there
are women who love human brutes. AL
though my husband never did more than
neglect me and my darling child, still felt
that he had entirely sunk his manhood, and
I believe Henry Raymond was cut to the
quick by my consequent GOODNESS. l re-
turned evil for evil. when 1 should have
tried to win him back to the right path; but
love had fed, and I cared nothing for him.
Ialmost hated him whom once truly loved"
There was quiet anguish in the young
widows voice which struck James Dalton
with pity.
'Do you imagine Henry Raymond took
his own life?p he asked, gently.
81 fear he did"
Mr. Dalton shook his head.
sNo, madam. You are unjust to your
husbands memory and to yourself. II
Henry Raymond had intended to destroy
himself, one plunge in the river would have
sufficed. There was no need Of using a
knife"
Mrs. Raymond shivered.
''The truth has not been established to
my satisfaction, she murmured, brokenly.
Il hope to prove that it has, said the
artist as little BERTHE came bounding into the
