An Exhibition OF Nerve.

81 think one Of the most remark
able exhibitions of nerve on the
part Of burglar was shown by
one who was captured IN Philadel-
phla not very long ago." said ). IL.
Iyers at the Lindell last evening
"The fellow was what is known as
a porch climber and one evening
about s o'clock he gained access
to the sleeping apartments OF a
house in one of the best portions
of this city. While engaged IN
ransacking the room lie heard some
one coming up the stairs, aud not
having time TO escape, he sought
safety under the bed.
"The door opened and the lady
of the house entered, and after
busylng herself about the room tor
few minutes, picked up a book
and commenced to read. The bed
under which the fellow was co.,
cealed was a very low one, and his
cramped position was anything but
comfortable. He did not dare to
move for fear of betraying himself,
but kept hoping she would leave
the room for some reason or other
aud give him chance to escape.
She stayed on. however, aud about
10 o'clock was joined 10y her huS'
band. After few minutes cOu-
yersation they retired to the very
bed under which lbe burglar lay
concealed.
"In trying TO shift his position a
little the fellow under the bed
made slight moist, which i'm
medistely alarmed the woman.
Calling her husband, she said:
"'Tom, there is some one under
the bed
"'Nonseuse,' be said; you are
dreaming
"I tell you l heard some one,
she replied.
sit is only the dog he said
Here, will prove it to you
"Aud with that he threw his
arm over the edge OF the bed, and,
swapping his fingers, called as he
would to dog.
"The fellow under the bed took
IN the situation in gu instant, and
realizing that he must act prompt
~, actually reached out bis head to
where the hand hung and licked
the fingers with his tongue, as a
dog might do. The act was per
formed so naturally that the man
in bed was completely deceived,
and after saying to his wife; Il
told you so,' and telling her to 90
to sleep, he turned over and was
soon lost to slumber. After wait
ing until convinced they were
sound asleep, the burglar crawled
out from under the bed, and taxing
everything of value he could find
IN the room, made his escape" =

Queen YiciorIa's First Days.


William ". was dead. The
Archbishop OF Canterbury and
Lord Oonyngham were dispatched
to inform the Princess Victoria OF
the fact. 1t was a warm night Ill
June. The Princess was sleeping
in her mothers room, her custom
from childhood, and had to be
summoned out of her sleep. The
messengers awaited herin the long,
unlofty room, separated only by
folding doors from that which was
inhabited by the Duchess OF Kent
aud her daughter. The young girl
entered alone IN her nightdress,
with some loose wrap hastily
thrown about her. The moment
she WAS addressed as "Your Ma
iestS" she put out her hand, int.
mating that the lords who address
ed her we're to kiss it and thereby
do homage. Her scboolingand her
instincts we're admirable from the
6rst. Self-possessiOn combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to
her.
A few hours later, at IL o'clock
IN the morning, the child Queen
met her council. In the corridor
at Windsor there is a picture
which commentaries the event.
Never, it has been said by an eye
witness, was anything like tue hrst
impression she produced, or the
chorus of praise and admiration
which was raised about her manner
and behavior, certainly not without
iustlce. Her extreme youth aud
inexperience, and the ignorance OF
the world concerning her-for she
had lived IN complete seclssion-
excited interest AID curiosity.
Asked whether she would enter
the room accompanied by the great
officers of state, she said she would
come in alone. Accordingly, when
all the lords of the Prlvy Council
we're assembled, the folding doors
we're thrown open, and the Queen
entered, quite plainly dressed and
10 mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, a young girl among
a crowd of men, including all the
most famous and powerful of her
subjects. She bowed and read her
speech, handed to her by the Prime
Minister, Lord Melbourne, in a
clear and firm voice, and then took
the oath for the security of the
Church of Scotland. Immediately
the Priyy Councillors were sworn;
the royal Dukes of Cumberland and
Sussex first, by themselves. 1t
was observed that as these two Old
men, her uncles, knelt before her,
swearing allegiance, she b'ushed up
to the eyes, as it she felt the con-
trast between thelr civil and ma
tursl relations. Der manner was
graceful and engaging, aud she
kissed them both, and, rising from
her chair, she moved toward the
Duke of Sussex, who was too In
firm to reach her.-From the Fort
nightly Review.

Her husband had with great diff.

herding of thom, as well as the
care of the house. One day, when
her husband had gone 20 miles 10

leave the cattle grazing while
she looked after a sick baby
at home. Suddenly she saw two
men ride from behind the bills
and start the cattle off fall canter,
abductlng the VIII ole bunch. She
wasted not a minute, but, mount

The Girl With Rubber Boots.

Tripping down the sidewalk snowy,
Bravely wading through the slush.
MOdsstly her skirts uplifting,
Yet without the slightest blush,
Ethel wends her way, regardless
Where may he the easiest routes.
Slush to her has lost Its terrors-
She has on her rubber boots.
See her coming to crossing,
Where the other girls all stop,
Posing, started, on the curbstOns.
Making up their minds to hop.
On she strides, her skirts upralsing
With both hands as high as suits
Her convenience. She's not bothered
She has on her rubber boots.
And those herrid men behind her
Sadly disappointed seem.
Ethel is SO sweet and dainty,
Graceful as an artists dream.
But when she starts DER the crossing
Only one glance each man shoots
Toward ber-,hen Lis eyes roye else
where
She has on her rubber boots.
