The Saddle on the UI!,er HcIsc.

Adapted.
He was tho manager of a church fair,
and one morning he walked into the news
paper Office and said
"Want an item ~
Eyes, of course" replied the editor.
Whereupon tho visitor laid the following
note upon the table:
The ladies of the street church
will give a festival next Friday evening.
Literary and musical entertainments will
be provided and q supper will be served
to all who desire. The ladies in charge of
the affair have had much experience in
such matters, and are sure to provide a
good time. The admission will be only
10 cents, and it is certain that no one can
spend that amount to better advantage.
BE sure and so and take your friends. :"
When the editor had read it, he said ::
Oh, l see; an advertisement.
mo, not an advertisement, We pre-
fer to have it so in the local column, . re-
Piled the manager. And seeing that the
editOl,lookcd skeptical, he then continued
1t will interest a good many of your
readers, and helpa good cause besides,
VIC have spent so much money getting up
our. ur.entertainment that we can't afford to
advertise it without increasing the price
of the tickets. In such matter as this
we ought to be willing to help each
Swell. =" said the editor" il it goes
into the local column, Isuppose you would
reciprocate by reading little notice in
church next Sunday. -
The visiting brother asked what notice
and the editor wrote and handed him the
following:
"The Daily INTELIIGaNCER for the
coming year will be the best and cheapest
family paper in Pennsylvania. Its pro-
prietOrs have had much experience and
all the helps which a large outlay ofmoney
can procure. This paper is furnished at
only ten cents a week. 1t is certain that
no one can spend that amout to better
advantage. Be sure to take the INTELLI-
GENCER and subscribe for your friends. {"
Tho manager hemmed and hesitated,
and thens said solemnly that he doubted
whether it would be judiciOus to read such
a notice, but suggested that if it was
printed, copies of it might be distributed
at the door on the evening of the enter
tainment.
Eyes, said the editor, but it would
attract mole attention in the middle of the
sermon. 1t will interest large number
Of your congregation and help q good
cause, and besides SC. much money is spent
upon the 1NTELLIGENCER that don't see
how We can afford to print handbills to
advertise it without increasing the sui
scriptiOn price. In such matter as this
we'oughtto be willing to help each other"
Then the gentleman saw the stu alton.

mo face a hundred Romans in my coun-
try's cause exclaimed tho generous
Greek.
"Thcn listen,' said Sosthenes. "Two
weeks ago,a miserable Roman magistrate,
in Athens, saw there the glorious daughter
of the noble PatrOclus, and tore her from
his arms, for present to the emperor. l
learned OF the event soon after its trans
action, followed the abductors train alone,

rived here this morning, Crcssida being

now in one of the apartments Of the pal
ace, where, after these games arc over,
the emperor will see her.. -
The dark eyes of the gladiator seemed
to glow with rage, as he listened to his
companions words, and he raised his huge
fist, and struck it against the wall in his
excitement, exclaiming:
"By all the gods of Greece, these sen.
sual Romans have destroyed all honor in
the Greeks, and left them weak as slaves :.
There was time when such a wrong
would have reused all Greece to arms.
But, though we have no arms, you and
will rescue this Grecian maid. Yet, how
are we to gain the palace unperceived
''FOllow me, answered the youth 'this
aperture gives us access to one of tie sub
teranean ways that lead to the Tyber, for
the purpose of flooding the arena. Come,
we have no time to lose."
So saying, they hurriedly entered the
tunnel, Sosthenes having carefully re-
placed the stone, 4 proceeding easily ef-
fected, from the fact that an iron ring had
been fastened in tho side next the passage.

The young Greek shuddcred at the
words of the Roman, but ASgeus gazed
with admiration upon him.
They again went forward, reached the
| narrow passage, traversed it, and found
themselves facing small sliding panel in
the wall, which would admit them to the
apartment they supposed to be occupied
by Cressida. Noiselessly the tribune
pushed the panel aside, and pccring in, lie
saw that she was indeed there, and that
there were no persons in attendance. They
entered, closed the panel, and concealed
themselves behind Il screen Of velvet,
which hung pendent from the ceiling.
Whatever intentions either of the Greeks
might have had to flee with Cressida from
the place, at that moment, were frustrated
by the loud blast Of busles reaching their
ears, and from below the dulled hum of
shouts and songs floated through the
palace.

emperor, with his fawins parasites, was in

Silently the three men wait in the cham

to 4 chilly, underground passage, and into
4 dark apartment, the heavy doors of which
their guide closed, as tho yells of tho sol
diers echoed to their ears.
"Safe thank the gods, " exclaimed the
tribune, as he rested against the wall OF
the dungeon.
"Safe, echoed Sosthenes. "We can.
not be safe here. The people of the pal
ace, forsooth, know of this place, and will
soon be upon us. "
"But the door will hold until we gain

"Well, Aggeus, we must thank our
noble friend here for our lives. Even
though we should have slain all the guards,
we would not have known where to hide, :"
said Sosthenes. "But here they are, !"
he exclaimed, as tho tread OF many feet
resounded upon the pavement without.
"The ours, muttered the gladiator.
"They arc at the door. Tribune, - he

Cropping to where the Roman was kneel-
