Printers teii many queer, quaint, quizzical, and sometimes .startling stories : and wltile tliev do a threat deal in thai way lor the mere fun of the thirty, it ;s not to bo supposed that they are always joking—always jibbing it, merely for the sake of raising a laugh or creating wonder. In their numerous ttogs they mingle with many strange people, see many strange sights, j end often encounter perils, which to many, would app cr incredible. We will relate a little slorv jvhiih we heard froni th lips of a poor young fellow now d ad and gone. In the year IS— wo were assi :g in the • editorial department ola daily paper which was published in one of the small cities of New York. One night—or lather morning,) f.-r 'i tors, reporters, and printers are compelled to keep all sorts ol Itours (after the forms were locked up, anil everythmg '3s ready 1 ,r a final | adjournment to our respective boarding houses, a proposition was made to < i-it a reauaraot near bv, for the double purpose ci hat ing a smoke and refreshing the inner man with a little ! something good and pleasant to the palate.— Accordingly we repaired to Ida eating saloon and while discussing the gv,od things before- us, we entertained each other by relating our ad ventures by sea and land. '•Did lever tell you ol that adventure I had in New Orleans ?" cat! Charley Rodman, a gat, dashing, good looking, and really gifted young man. "Guessnot," was the general response. "Well, will you hear it no ' '•Certainly," tcii from baif-a-d ,zt n lips. "Well, then, I v, as working o; a morning paper in New G. a dining Ihe winter ol 18— and as I was going ftom the oiiics# to my boarding house, about tvveive o'clock one nigh.. I was suddenly studied by tne abrupt and un expected appearance o! a male, who rushed before me and threw hers' it down in tr.y path. I was jut in the light of a str.i-l iamp at the time, and as she turneil her face up to mine, I noticed that the was both young and beauti ful. "Save me, sir! save me I" she cried, clasping mv le?# frantically. "Jive you from wha! V I demanded, as I raised Iter to her feet., "I do not see any thing."

I enquired, fairly fas cinated by the girl's beautiful Ire-, and soft voice \~o< far trom lwe sir—only round the n--xt street," said the girl ; but I am so atrnd I shall meet that ruan again. O, sir, if you wiil onlv see me safely home, I .shall be deeply indebted to you." "Certainly, I will," was the response ; "but still th-re don't appear to be any body in pursur of you now." {• , I At that moment I heard the cUtf-r of feet I down the street, and turning my face in that di- I reel ion, I saw a man approaching the spot ! where we were standing, at a rapid tun. i he girl looked in the same direction at the same time I did. "There lie comes now," she exclaimed, in a > deep, fearful whisper, at the same time tightlv I clutching me hy the arm. Suddenly turning away from m n , tne girl dai ted up ihe slrett.

The girl did not hoed me but dashed on and, involuntarily 1 followed in her steps. After running n couple of I !.>ck*. she stopped and looked back at me. In a few moments I reach, t-.i her side, and by that lima the man was not fur behind me. "You had better come into the house, sir," she said nervously ; "for I am sure that man is very evil designing, and may do you some 1 harm." As sue spoke siie mounted the steps of a very ; ancient looking dwelling, and violently rang: the bell. I followed her not exactly from nru- ; dential motives, but because 1 wanted to see } more of tier, and because i was fond of aiven- j j lure of any kind. Almost instantly Ihe door wasoo-ned, when j 1 followed tlie young girl insi ft*. An old. hi !e --ous looking regro woman stood in the hall jo-! S beyond the door, holding n lamp in her hand.

The j next moment, arid before I ha i time to reply, ' the door closed, and I was left alone. I walked to a sofa—a light uas burning in the i , room— P.' ! sat down. Then I took a -■ :vey of t;,. apartment. Tiie furniture had been o . i ■ n its day, but was then much worn and bat tered. A few minutes afterwards the satanic-looking negress opened the parlor door, and poked her hideous <.-.> (j lt . room. "Miss Carline 'quests n. gentleman to walk op stairs." I began to think the proceeding rather strange but still my reckless spirit induced me to follow | the degress. Up two flight of stairs, and to the door of a , back apartment she led me. She knocked and j the door opened. -•'.Talk in sar, ii you please," she said very deferentially. I stepped into an apartment that had no win dows in i', and was c infronted by a huge, huily negro man. At Ihi same moment I heard the door closed an.! locked, ontl for the first tune began tn think serT-Ufly of danger.
