ABSOLUTE QUIET WITHOUT UTTER SOIL

rocks or being run down. with no chance OF

the tug bids goot-by and the boy with the

Paper Bedolothes.

A paper-making firm in New Jersey has
for several weeks been turning out coun-
terpanes and pillows of paper. No. l ma
nilla paper is used, two larse sheets being
held together by slender twine at inter-
walls of three or four inches. The twine
is gummed, so as TO hold the sheets firmly to-
gether where it lies. A hem is placed on
the counterpane to keep it from tearing;
the safety edge is composed of twine. Or
namental designs are stamped on the outer
surfaces of the covers and ca living
them a neat, attractive appear When
these counterpanes and pillow-casl become
wrinked from use they can easily be
smoothed out with hot fatiron. The
counterpanes can be left on the bed when il
is occupied and in cold weather will be found
a warm covering. paper preventing the es-
cape ofheat. The new paper bedclothing
is 10 cents per set and will probably become
popular.

At the Station.

An officer OF the Philadelphia police force
brought in wel-dressed slightly intoxicated
man with valise, whom he had found holding
an animated conversation with lamp post,
and threatening to pulverize it, if it did not
direct him to the New York depot.

prisoner to the sergeant. laying eighty-seven
cents on the desk, all the money he had.

the sergeant, handing him ticket for rattle.

tone that would have caused an ordinary sta
ton hand to blush for his own unworthiness.

picked up his yaise and. throwing it on a

was in railroad station. He was quietly led

NUMBER 81.
A White Robin.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Acting-Sergeant Green was walking in the
vicinity Of Leyerngton Cemetery, RoXbor-
ough, soon after the peep-o'-day on Sunday
morning. While chirping to the robins he
was startled by the appariton of a snow-white
fellow among the flock. Sergeant Green Is
not particularly superstitious, but somehow
when he saw the ghostly robin hop from be-
hind headstoue, light on monument, stand
on one foot and look at him with roguish
twinkle out of one pink eye, he felt uneasy,
and felt he ought TO report the matter to his
supcriors. just as quickly as his dignity
would allow, he retreated in good order to the
Roxborough Station and laid the matter be-
fore the Lieutenant \ council of war was
held and the Sergeant went back reinforced by
two officers. an ash-sieVe. Il ball of twne and
several sections of sponge and fruit cake con-
tributed by the househoders in the neighbor-
hood. Arrived at the cemetery, skirmish
line was cautiously thrown out, and while
Green directed movements from behind the
trunk Of q tree one of the officers succeeded in
setting the a>h-sicyc over figure four ar
/ rangemcnt. Then string was tied to the de-
/ ceitful arrangement, some decoying crumbs
/ were scattered around and under the trap. and
/ three guardians Of the peace lay down in the
/ grass to await developments. The white rob
in was curious, un>uSpioious and hungry, and
he hopprd directly to hi, fate, the Sergeant
| jerkcd the string, and he was caught.
He was put into canary birds cage at the
station and exhibited by his proud captors as a
curiosity. 50 important was the prisoner con-
sidcrcd that general alarm was sent over the
wires informing the police Of Sergeant Green :
/ prowe>s. The bird turns out to be great
curiosity, none less than an A!hino with fine
white plumasc, black eg> and pink eyes.

The Marriage Portion.

There lived about FIVE or six miles from
Easton. Pa, few years since, an honest
farmer named Henderson, who had two very
pretty daughters-Ellen and Maude. The
first was about twenty years Of age, while the
latter was barely nineteen. The farmer was
thrifty, we'll to DO man, though BY no means
rich; but the family lived in excellent style,
and the daughters had received good edu-
cation.
Both OF these girls were pretty, but Maude
was perhaps the handsomer There was no
lack of attentive young gentlemen at the
farm, though the neighborhood was not very
thickly settled; but "beauty draws us with
a single hair" a'd the Young ladies were
the centre Of a gay little circle Of friends.
By and by il came about that an earnest,
handsome. and sturdy young farmer fell des-
peratelv in love with Maudc and proposed
10 her On her part she loved Harry Mas
ters above all the Young fellows she knew.
and told him frankly that he might speak to
her father. In the meantime she oonhded
the matter to her motter--a Kind hearted.
sympathetic parent--who Jaw no objection
to the choice Of her daughter, but all was
left for the father TO decide.
Henderson was very straightforward and
open. uouthed man-,hat is. he said exactly
what he meant. no more or less, and that he
uttered freely. When Harry Masters called
him one side and told his especial errand as
TO Naude. the father said "Well. Mr.. Mas
tiers. Maude is Young. | wanted Ellen TO be
married first; she's the oldest. and have
got a marriage portion of $1,000 70 give her,
but haven't laid by any ythlng yet for

II have got pretty well beforehand, MIR,

"You mean You'll take Mande without any

having only the effect to increase the speed
of the flying horses, both Of whom were
now on the dead run. Maude did not care
how fast she rode. the sorrel was as easy as
a cradle at that speed. and in ten minutes
she dashed into her fathers yard, followed
by the riderless horse.
Her story was soon told, and her father
was with difficulty prevented from starting
after the robber with his pistol and rifle. but
he knew that the scoundre would naturally
take at once to the woods, where he could not
follow or find him.
"Well. we've got his horse. at any rate"
said the farmer, "and he is worth more than
Sl00."
Halo y said the man John, who had
been taking the saddle bags from the strange
horse
What is it, John ?"
These bags are full of something"
IL should think so.' said the farmer, as
he unstrapped the leather bags.
They were found to contain some counter
felt plates. a quantity Of counterfeit money.
in various bills, and also little over $1,000
in good money.
"liuzza' cried the farmer
What is it, father ?" said Maudc.

"Ah. but ii will he claimed By the
I owner
"po you think counterfcier will dare

That evening Henderson sent John over
to Young Masters with message TO call
round and see him, to which Harry re
sponded instantly.
MIR. Masters" said the farmer, as he
came into the large, old-fashIoned sitting
room. "you remember wha, you asked o'
