A HARMLESS JOKE. . “ Can you tell me the way to Metropo litan street V' inquired a gentleman, evi dently a stranger, of a young man who, with a group of acquaintances of about his own age, was standing on the corner of K street, in the city of JBoston. The young man glanced at his compan ions, asrif to attract their attention, and then directed the stranger in a totally dif ferent direction from that which he had lieen following. ‘•Are you sure that I must take the right hand street instead of the left*” ask ed the stranger, evidently in somewhat of u as he received an affirmative reply, and walked in the given direction at a quick pace, after thanking hi« informant. “Oh 1 Arthur, how could you asked Georgfe Arnold, as soon as the stranger passed out of hearing. “ I’m sure it is wrong to misdirect a stranger, and especi ally when in such anxiety >nd haste as that gentleman appeaml'to Ik* in.” he re marked. “You can’t appreciate a harmless joke, 1 see, but 1 can, and I never lose an op portunity to play off practical jokes upon friends or strangers,” he retyrned. “ I don’t think it was just the thing, Arthur,” observed Julius Mason. “ The | gentleman who, perhaps, is on urgent busi- j ness, chn ill afford the. time he will lose l»y taking the route you gave him, and may perhaps abandon bis attempts to find the street,'which is almost in sight from j here, and which he might have reached in i five minutes, had you given him a proper i direction.” * “ Don’t worry a boot what does not con- | cern you,” relied Arthur, somewhat cooly. “ Perhaps you might be able to overtake the man and tell him the proper course.” “ Which I would do, had I the least idea, that I should be able to catch him, but it is almost' imposible, when there are so many pedestrians, and be may have gone contrary to your direction, and find ing a ewU person, has had bis proper direc tion given him,” remarked Caleb Man ning. “ Yon are quite a hero 1 Upon my word I did not give you credit for so much lu geniousness and valor. Are you not a lit tle personal in your remarks,young sir?’ retorted Arthur, who was becoming some
