The Story of a SlOO Bill.

A distinguished stateman, forty
years ago, was on visit to Baltimore,
and he gave to coored girl while
what he supposed to be at the time
one dollar bill. The next morning
the girl went to a grocery store, and
after making few trifling purchases,
gave the bill in payment, under the
supposition that it was a dollar. The
proprietor Of the store, a highly esteem
ed citizen of Baltimore, noticed with
great surprise that it was for hundred
dollars, and he supposed at once that
the woman had stolen it. Ascertaining
the edelusion she was under he informed
her of the rueeharacter of the note and
told her he would detain it until the
owner was found. The girl told how
she had received it, persisted that it
had not been stolen, and assented to
the gentleman retaining it until the
owner was found. He advertised the
bill. and the statement, in answer.
called to say that the girls story was
true, and that as her honesty had been
suspected she should keep the bill.
He then departed to the scene of his
triumphs, and in the acquisition of
great fame perhaps forgot the incident.
The grocery merchant retained the note
in expectation of the girl returning,
but she never called for it, it is sup
posed being frightened and fearing
being charged with its theft. lie de-
posted it at interest. Years rolled on
and she married bore children and
died, and a few years ago a son applied
to the merchant for the note and in
terest, which amounted TO a large sum
of money. This amount the custodian
of the fund paid into one of our city
courts, in order that the court should
decide whether or not the claimant
was entitled to it, The court sustain
ed the claim, and they money was paid
to the heir, and thus ends the true
story of a hundred dollar bill.-Balh-

Getting Married in North Carolina.

A couple from Virginia landed in
Milton the other morning to be mar
ried by Squire Lewis. They wslked
hand in hand up Main street ana took
a seat upon the front step of the
'Squire's Office. and the man asked for
license. AS the Squire was preparing
to make it out, the buxom girl began
to inch off, and hesitated, ard finally
said to the young man in a half whis-
per.

In a Tight Place.

A young Fond du Lac, Wisconsin,
lawyer learned something the other
night. We know it will seem strange
that young lawyer could learn any
thing, but this one admits it himself.
He was out calling on young lady,
when young man and another young
lady called, and the young lawyer
thought it would be cunning to get
down behing the lounge and not

them by bobbing up serenely fro
below when the proper time cam
They came in and the first thing they
asked for was the young lawyer, who
had told the young man he would be
there that evening. Then they be-
gan to talk about him, discussing the
size OF his feet, which tfey claimed
were large, and the size of his head,
which they asserted was child's size
He perspired and they talked about
his MASKING qualities, how he had
mashed girl that worked in laan-
dry, aud the opinion was expressed
that he was a regular firt. Then they
talked abount his family, and he
tried to stuff his ears. Just then a
little terrier belonging to the girls
brother came in the room and some
body said "rats," and told the dog to
hunt for them, and the dog went un-
der the lounge and began to growl and
shake something, and there was a
sound of revelry by night. The other
young men and the two rigls rushed
out OF the room, and the lawyer got
up on his feet, pulling the dog up
near his suspenders by the teeth, and
the dog shook, and the young man
kicked and yelled, and presently the
girls father came in and seeing the
dog trying to hold what he supposed
was burglar he took an old hair
covered chair and was going to
brain the burglar, when the young
man told who he was and the iather
unlocked the dogs teeth, after he had
remembered the combination, and the
young lawyer took himselfin his hand
and went away. He won't speak to
the young people now, and it is said
he will sue the owner eff the dog for
arrOR, or a1pace. or some other Latin
phrase. The worst thing in the world
is to be attacked by conversation or a
dog, when you are not looking.-Pecbs

Keep Your Heart Warm.
Winter is at hand.
"keen blawnS the wind.
And could norther blast }

And could norther blast"
The autumn leaves are beautiful in
their bright colors of crimson and
purple and gold; but it is the beauty
eff death!
Cold! The days grow cold, and
cold grow the nights. Soon the ground
and rivers will be frozen hard. How
bright and how cheerful now becomes
the blazing glowing, open wood fire!
Cold, cold; true it is, as has been
writ ten, that disappointment is the
lot of mortality that was made to
mourn. TO every one comes his griefs
and sorrows. Of early friends many
are dead, a few estranged, while some
are precious beyond price or express
sion.
One thing should be observed above
all others, amid the mutations and
sorrows of life. 1t is to keep your own
heart warm. But true, be generous
be affectionate yourself. Otherwise
there remains no sweetness, no zest in
life, and you die before your time, and
your spirit become extinct while you
are still in flesh, and your blood
though sluggish, still creeps through
your veins.
