AN ADTEUfTURE ©IST THE CARS. There were five of ua—yes, five as hap py fellows as ever were let loose from Col lege. It was vacation, and wa concluded to make a trip to the Falls, We got aboard the cars r at N , and were soon travelling very rapidly toward our desti nation. Wq had just seated ourselves, and pre pared for a comfortable smoke, when in came the conductor, and who should it be but our old friend B- . After the com mon salutations—“how are you, old fel low,” etc., had passed, Fred said he Had some business for us to attend to. “Out with it, old chum,” said we; anything at all will be acceptable, so let us have it.” ; „ , Wcff, boys, ’ said Fred, in a very con fidential tone, “ in that next car there is 33 0T m a ,? air M was ever my lot to see. They are going down to H to get married, and nowj if you- can have any fun over it, just pitch in. They must be cared for, and I don’t know who can do it better than you. In a moment Fred was gone, and we set our heads together to form a plan for to king care of the lovers. I have it, boys,” said Bill Severs: * f we must make that girl think that her lover is-a married—” “ That’s it Bill—that’s it,” said we, not gmug him time to finish the sentence. “ That he is a married man and the fa ther of ejiildren,” said Bill. it oJt ” Ut ' 3 tlle S ame ; u°ff let us play It devolved upon me to commence the operations. Accordingly, I entered the car m which we were informed, the lovers were. The girl tjbinking, 1 suppose, that mush her lover all the seat, hat taken a seat on his knee, and he, for the purpose of protecting her, of course, had “is arm around her waist ; and so •• real spft loyerVstyle. < ..A* "MS I gathered at a glance. Step* ping up to them, I said: “Why, Jones, what in the deuce are you doipg with this girl V* ? 7 The girl arose hastily and seated herself op the'seat '7';: ,fv:: . - - ’■ “Seehere, stranger/? said the fellow, _ you re a mite mistaken : my name ain?t Jones.” •' ’ - ■'■ ;■ ■ , “ ODe ?/' s-'iid I. “joh certainly JR»?» wtmm *».and tried-,to off for a single man, have you.” !j m?t\ Jonces: it’s Harper. •■lfDevot^: go ing to be nuther.” 7 ’ '•• 6 4 - 1 merely shook pay. h«d f MiLpMsed on 0 smother seat Jfe® ml Itmkedj “Wild” but Jones alter Harpersoor &&&&£ her that I was mistaken. MARCH 4, 1880, Effect Joint <f. «mi An Attorney was taking a turn,’ In shabby habiliments drest; His coat it was shockingly worn, And the rust had Invested his vest His breeches had suffered a breach, His linen and worsted were.worse; He. had scarce a whole crown in his hat, And not in his purse. And thus as he wandered along, A cheerless an.d comfortless sit Hs sought for relief in a song, Or complalningly talked to himself “Unfortunate man that I am! I’ve never a client but grief; The case is, I’ve no cose at all And in brief, i’vd ne’er had a brief! “I’ve waited and waited in vain, Expecting an ‘opening’ to find, N Where an honest young lawyer might gain Some reward for the’toil of his mind. “ ’Tis not that I’m wanting in law, Or lack an intelligent face. That others have cases to plead, While I have topload for a case. 0, how can a modest young man • E ’* r ll “P e for the smallest progression,— The profession’s already so.firll Of lawyer’s so full of profession 1" While thus he was strolling aronn'd, His eye accidentally fell On a very huge hole in the ground, And ho sighed to himself “It is well I" T» curb his emotions be sat On the curb-stone the space of a minute, Then\cricd, “Here’s an opening at last!” And in'less than a jiffy was in iti hext morning twelve citizens came, (’Tjvas the coroner bade them attend,) To the end that it‘might be determined How tho man determined his end I “ The man was a lawyer, I hear,” Quoth the foreman who sat on tho corps*; “A lawyer? Alas!” said another, “ Undoubtedly ho died of remorse I” “A third said, “Ho knew the deceased, An attorney well versed in the laws, And os to tho cause of hjs death, ’Twas no doubt from the want of a cam*.” , “Why, Jones, you here rjfew did you ieave your wife and babies ?" 5 > ! “ Now, stranger, j|pu ain't the fust man that s called me Jones to-dav and I reckon I must look arfoUy like him but J ain’t Jones,andxhor’n thatyou must not call me. Joneat Ihwn’tgoi a wife and babies either, but this ’ere galan’iineisa gom to splice, an’ then you can talk about my wife; and I wouldn’t wonder but what in the course of time you might talk about the babies, too; but you mustn't cali me Jones!” ? This retort brought ferth vociferous laughter from the, spectators, aqd brought blushes to the face of “ the gal .that was gom’to be spliced.” - Ah, Jones, said Gregg, f( you will [ regret this in future. I pity'your wife and children, and this poor girl 1” “So, Mr. Harper, your real name is Jones, is it; and you have beenfoolin me, ha Y e r I° u , ? Well, we ain’t spliced" yet, and I don t think we shall be sboh,” said the girl, and her eyes fairly flashed fire. “ Jane, Jane,” said Harper, “ don’t von know I m Bill Harper? Thar ain’t a drop of Jones blood in me, and I will prove it I to you ” ' r 1 At this moment, Jeff Jackson; BfH Se vers, and Jim Beyers entered 1 *nd of course their attention was called to Harper y his loud talking. They gter'ped up to him and said : ‘‘ Why, Jones, for what is all this fuai?” Ihia was more than Harper could stand, .lie leaped upon a seat. “Now,” said he, my name ain’t Jones, an I can lick the feller that says it is.” By this time we had got to H— and our friend Fred came into the. car and made Harper keep quiet. The jrirl that wouldn’t be «apli£s requested fred to lielp her on the train going back to N— which he did, and the notorious Jones, alias Harper followed her. We learned afterwards, that he proved himself Bill Harper, instead of Bill Jones, and he and his gal, Jane, “ got spliced.” ! ‘ Daring Deed of a GlrjL A daring escape was made from the Ohio Penitentiary, last week, by a girlF named Mary Fuller, who, with a man: named Lheesemaa, had been committed for coun terfeiting. His tom had expired, abd Marys wag half out. By some! means tbeeseman communicated to hen and a plan of escape wag entered into, to he con summated the night after his discharge, of the 2d inst. sajs i i: Cheeseman served out his time and was discharged on Saturday last. On Sat the/irl madeher e » c ape from the fifth story of the prison, by passing out of her window and passing along the side ot the building, upon the comice o* water table, about eighteen inches broad. |! Pass ing along the front of the building,! at the immense height of fifty or sixty feet from the ground, with nothing to hold fb, and upon the projection scarcely , visible from the ground, she reached, at the distance of about forty feet from her room winnow, a place whore it was necessary for her to jump about twelve feet to the roof hf the west wing. The leap was taken, ptoved a safe one, and the dauntless-woman; next fastened 'to the corner of the roof i ! rope which she made of her bedding, grasped it in her hands, and swinging iHfixim thereof, passed down on the outside of the wall over windows where othe? con victa were sleeping, and down to td&a fir ms, where, at a distance of forty-fite feet below the roof, she alighted in the armsof her confederate in gnilt. It is dodbtful whether the feat performed by this Aban doned gu-1 was ever, equalled in the faisto rj ot escapes from prisons, by any felon, inther of her own or the sterner sexj and it affords another striking illustration of the old. , saw, that ‘‘ when avmmanl w ill, W IJ[ The pair left- thicity after the scene'■narrated, and' weii not found _until last evening, when Warden Van Slyke, acting upon information re- ftom private sources, went to aiea vy forest,, about ten miles from tbe;eitv, on the Elm Crees road, where and the woman, who had staked her all upon him, fouW domiciled in an old cabin, long wn«n deseffocT bv the owner the land; Kie sOquel is/ tbat the giri is again m the Peni^ntiaf^ : and her Cheeserman is boxed up in the Bason, fo await hianuiAtiotthn day, for having aided a prisoner to a.

Llowsmicnt and Remorse.—A ft# oajs j ago, one of our city officials, tired of the domestic restraints thrown around bim H? ® n exacting wife, resolved upon eloping a young lady with whom he h&dfor a time been despefttely smitten.

He had not S moral courage to reveal his feelings to the guilty partner of his flight, and meidtin'er a deputy Sheriff of this county, He beg ged him to extricate him from bis ament. His friend, the deputy, acceded to this, reasonable. demand, and when the absconding husband had seated himself in the car, he walked up to him, and readlifc a bogus warrant, arrested him and took him out of the car just aa it mty% on, leaving the damsel to pursue her lour ney alone.— Ohicajjo Herald.
