In the "L" smoker.

The old man in the "L" smoking
car was absorbed in his newspaper
when the burly youth entered. a
paste-board box was on the seat be-
side the old man, and with the air
of man who knew his rights and
was prepared to enforce them, the
burly youth sat down on it.
I" beg your pardon, SIR" said the
old man, politely, "but you're sit
ting on my box"
know it," replied the burly
youth, insolently, as he took a cigar
from his pocket and prepared to
light it. Why didn't you get it
out of the way? You only paid for
one seat, | guess"
eff you had spoken to me-" ex-
planned the old man, al would have
made room for you. l was reading
the paper and did not see you"
1t amt my business to keep your
things off the seats" retOrted the
burly youth. 81 paid for my seat
and took it,"
But | have something in that
box that would not have injured
for great DEAL" expostulated the
old man.
"Well, guess it's done for now"
said the burly youth, with taunting
laugh.
Perhaps it isn't" urged the old
man. If you will kindly get up
for a minute"
But | WON'T" returned the
youth, shortly.
BY this time some of the other
passengers were becoming inter-
ested, and one or two of them
evinced desire to throw the burly
youth out of the car. a faint smile
that seemed to lurk around the cor
ners of the old mans mouth, how
ever, made them hesitate. He looked
like n man who thought he had the
best of the affair, in spite Of the
others calm assurance.
1t was perhaps two minutes later
when the youth emitted wild yell
and bounded from his seat into the
aisle. Another yell followed, and
he bounded down the aisle toward
the door with both hands i'm the VII
cinity of his coat-tail pockets. On
the platform Of the car he began
making frantic endeavors to take off
his coat, but before he succeeded the
train had pulled into station, and
he sprang off and dashed into the
waiting-room.
The old man had thrown q paper
over the box when the burly youth
got up, aud now he carefully
raised the edge of it and inspected
what was underneath.
Confound him !" he exclaimed,
at last.
What's the matter ?" asked one
Of the other passengers.
Why, he's run off with one of
my prize bees" said the old man,
rue fully.

THOMAS HOOD.

| remember, remember
The house where | was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
lie meyer came 4 wink too soon,
Nor brought too long day;
But now often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
| remember, remember
The roses red and white,
The viOlets and the lily-Cups-
Those flowers made Of light:
The lilacs where the robin S built.
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet
| remember, | remember
Where | was used to swing,
And thought the air would rush as fresh
TO swallows on the wing:
My spirit flew on feathers then,
That is so heavy now;
And summer pool could hardly cool
The fever on my brow,
| remember, | remember
The fir-tree, dark and high
| used to think their slender spires
Were close against the sky.
1t was 4 childish ignorance
But now 'tis little JOY
To know, IN farther off from heaven
Than when | was Il boy,

A PSALM OF LIFE.

HENRY wADswoRTu LoNGFELLow.
Tell me not, in mOurnful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream ~
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnesh," :"
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way:
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long and time is tieeting,
And our hearts, tho stout and brave
Still, like mufiled drums are beating
Funeral marcheste the grave.
In the world s broad field of battle,
In the biyouac of Life,
BE rot like dumb, driven cattle!
BE hero in the strife.
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury it's dead
Act-act i'm the living Present
Heart within, and God o'erheadI
Lives Of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time -
Footsteps, that perhaps another,
Sailing DER Iife's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait.

LEWISBURG, WEST VIRGINIA,

freely again, and pulling up to Jehu,
told him TO go to the Rue du Bac.
Rue du Bac be blowed ~ quoth
the driver. cit was Rue de Rivoli
that you said when you engaged me
My horse is done up, and am sleepy.
Pay me what you owe me, and hire
another conveyance"
N, unfortunately, had neither
money nor pockets to keep any in
and when he mutterod something to
that effect, the cOcher got down, the
better to give him piece Of his
mind. "Zounds :" he exclaimed
noticing the phenomenon inside,
what deviltry have we here? -
Where are your clothes, sir ?r
y. stammered out his explanations
about having had midnight swim
in the water, but the cabman char
acterized the story as fishy, asked
him where was the fare he had been
waiting for in the Bois, and then,
resuming his seat, drove to the near
est police-station.
What's the matter with you?"
asked the cOn'naiSsaire, circumspectly
approaching the door of the cab.
"Oh, nothing" replied X, trying
to feel calm. &C merely lost nv
clothes during a stroll in the Bois."
I" Lost your clothes! What do
you mean, monsieur? How can a
respectable man lose his clothes at
this hour of the night, and 90 driv-
ing about Paris without sou in his
pocket mean without money to
~ -.
Inside the station Y. was cross-eX-
anined, and, as his story seemed
fairly plausible, messenger was
dispatched to his address to verify
his statements, and apprise his wife
of what had happened. The mer-
chant would have preferred to leave
his spouse in blissful ignorance OF
his adventure; but full confession
being the least Of two evils, he chose
it; and the messenger duly returned
with full confirmation of the story,
adding that Nine. Y. was for the
moment absent from home, having
joined relief party Of three, who
went to recover the body of her hus-
band, who, she feared, had perished
from the shock in the waters Of the
somewhat shallow lakes of the Bois.
His garments had been brought home
by his friend, who, himself, had
narrowly escaped arrest on charge
of stealing the clothes of man un-
known.
AT late hour the next morning,
Nine. X, it is affirmed, returned to
her mothers house, and is reported
to have said that no lady who re-
spects herself can be expected to
live with a man who cannot take a
stroll in the Bois i'm the fresh of the
evening without parting with every
scrap of clothing on his back, and
then getting the fact advertised all
over the city.

A Sheaf OF Stage Anecdotes.

One icy night Charlotte Cushman
and Lawrence Barrett came out of
the theatre together. The steps were
dangerously slippery, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
two players kept their feet at ALL
AS they totteringly descended, the
great actress turned to her compan-
ion and, in her most tragic Lady
Macbeth manner, said, "Take a good
grip on my arm, Lawrence, and if
slip, hold on like grim death but if
you slip, in the name of Heaven let
go!"
When Albert Chevalier was with
the Kendals, he had to call to a fel-
low actor who was expected TO enter
from the right wing, Ha, there
you are I" For some unaccountable
reason, however, the actor came on
the stage from the left side, and
cavalier, without being in the least
disconnected, gave his call, and
added, with smile, 81 saw you in
the looking glass"
a strange blunder was once made
by Mrs. Gibbs of Convent Garden in
the part OF Mrs. Sterling in "The
Cl n es inc Marriage" When
speaking of the conduct Of Betty,
who had locked the door of Miss
Fanny's room and walked away
