rO THE Hl;.ntS.
On the trim the other day a very solecin
looking man, dre:sd in block, and carrying
a htbox, came aluag and dropped into half
ir.y seat.
-It is a fine day," I remarked, desiring to
he friendly.
"It is a fine d-iy, but, young man, how is
it with your hou! ?"' he replied rolling up
his eyes and looking still more solemn.
I asked Li in what he meant, and he an-
swered :
"Whore would y gc to if you died t
How d..e your record stand in llev. en t"
I told him that I was jogging along
peacefully like, paying my debts, saving a
little mony, and dropping s iinvthing into i
the ontribution-box Q3 it passe 1.
"That won't do ah." he said, as he fold
ed his hands an I t-lrv I his eyoa. "You're
a sinnc , ah, a bal-.-ful ninnor. Th-ro is no
mansion 1 lid up for y'i in the lind beyond
the skies ah. ! you ever pny ah?''
Once in a gro.-.t while," I told him.
The devil id in vo'tr heart ah." he
went on, "Yon pray not, neither do you
;n j. Like a flower yoa shall bo cut down, j
' and the stent shall wither and dcay, and j
be Boon no more among the fields." I
"What would you ad vise me t) do?" I .
asked, fe-lin a little weak. I
"I am tut a ioor worm myself ;" he an-
wcred meekly, "like unto a puny insect." !
"A cockroach, for icstinee," I put in as
ho pau.od. j
"Only a poor, struggling wor-um," ha
went on, never in In ling me, "ytt I am try- j
ing to do my appointed work. Away over :
- . ... .'
me sea la Atnca, millions are living in
i.orance and vice, kno-ving nothing of
lleaven, having no fc-oo'l in th.;ir hearts, )
living like the beiuts of the field. In my j
poor humble way, I am trying to sive a !
f.'w benighted huithen trjiug to rcL-em j
a lew sotiis.
"In what particular way?" I inquired.
"Partly by my prayers, aad partly by
my collecting money and buying Bibles to
ehip to them, that they may have the word
of liie."
There was a pauso fv.r a moment and
then he laid Ids h m l on my arm and con
tinued :
" Young man, the Lord loveth a cheerf ul 1
giver ! Out of your abundance eouiribute i
Something for the causo of the benighted.
Even though you are not a Christian, your
good act will bo put to your credit in the
land where all is joy and bli."
I asked him if he could change a 5-0 bill
and give me Kv.-k $1!,95 and he turned
away and sjeuied we.try.
We rode on in silence for about a mile,
and then he took a str-ng from his pocket
laid it on his knee in a way to mako two
sop-irate loops in it, and then he sai 1 :
"Young man thou irt a sinn;r, and thou
wilt not freely contribute to the cause of
the benighted."
"Which the s id tri:," I mnrimire 1.
"On th p trt of th heithen anl ray
cause, I desire to bet -.lie? S. j to three that i
thou canst not put thy finger in the loop
that will cat-h," he sii I, suiiling sweefy.
"It's thp oM string g-j m- seen it forty
time;," I answers I.
"fc'.)h-ly on account of th-j benighted
he-t';en do I wi-sh to bet live to three that
thou o:nt u-t hwMt the joker," he wont
on, pro luolag three th.mol s an 1 a pea.
'Tinyed it in the army for four year.?,"
I replied, turuiiig away with a mournful
hrrt.
"Tli -n yoa aro v. i'.'J ig that the heathen
Khali strugglu oa like the bcats of the field
and the birds of fa.' all ':" he ask-id, putting
.up his thimble.
"Yea. truly." I an.-:vrored.
"'Tis Slid th.it one s yoiiag should be so
sinful," ho murmured, and went to the
other end of the car and succeeded in fleec
ing an oil man out of $.11 and a wateh on
the check game for tUe cause of thchoatt
on in Africa.
StSI'EMlKH ANIMATION.
A most rmark.ible ;nstance of a suppos- j
cl corpse hiving bdra found to possess i
Bijri3 of animation, and of the person really
beinr restored to life, has just transpired
in Yonkers. A seven yoar old child of a
machinist named Slilier, having been in
delicate health almost from the time of its
birth, whs att icks 1 by an unusually severe
fit of illness last week. It is understood
that the medicine prescribed was a power
ful opiate, but whether this was the cause
or not, it is asserted that when the medical
lain called the second time, a glance nt his j
lite patient inlawed Lira to prunouaoe the j
chil l dead. The sjrvi. es of aa undertaker
wvro procured, and by him the supposed ;
corpse waa prepared for the last rite3. j

Sxr anger What's the price of that coat ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper The price is on the ticket, sir, 10.50, in plain figures; same
price to everybody.
Stranger Oh, pshaw ; that's what they all say. You'll take off that 50.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir; under no circumstances. If that 50 could be scratched
the price would have been marked so at first. There is no second price. The
figures arc down to bottom rock. Should you buy 1,000 of us, nothing could be
taken off. We have One Trice to everybody and all are treated alike, whether they
buy a single pair of working pants or three suits.
Stranger Isn't that pretty stiff?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper Nothing stiff intended. Try us. See if we are not patient and
obliging. Only we think it fairest for both parties to name at once the lowest price,
and stick to it. Small buyers, on our rule, have as good a chance as large ones.
Stranger Well, suppose I purchase a garment and it don't fit ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper Bring it back.
Stranger Yes, and perhaps get a worse one in exchange.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir; get no worse one get your money back.
Stranger Explain that. You mean, of course, if you can't fit me.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir; we mean that if, within ten days, you bring back the
garment unworn and uninjured, your money, cent for cent will be returned to you.
Stranger You mean simply, if I don't like the goods.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper I mean if you don't like it, or your wife don't like it, or the
weather changes, or you find goods somewhere else you like better, or you imagine
you have been in any way misinformed, bring back the purchase and take back the
purchase money. We give a signed guarantee to that effect.
Stranger Why, that's a new thing. What is it like ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper 'Tis a card signed by the firm, binding us in every way.
Wait a minute, and I'll show you one.
He reads over carefully the following Guarantee, which roes with every purchase at
Oak Hall.
Trie hereby guarantee :

WANAMAKER A BROWN.
Stranger What is that remark about the quality of goods?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper It means that the ACTUAL NAME and grade of the goods
are printed on the price label attached to every garment in Oak Hall, and that no
misrepresentation can be made.
Stranger Ah, this looks lovely, to be sure, if you only mean to stand up to it.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper We do, and shall stand firmly by these principles as our only
rules of business. The people who don't believe it can prove us very easily if they
choose..
Stranger Well, I'll try you onre at any rate.
We think this was a sensible conclusion. Let the people inform themselves of what
we are doing at OAK HALL to ai ike excellent Clothing and Cheapen the Trices under
our New Order of Business.
Our store is fuller than evei of Men's and Boys' Best Made Handsome Clothing,
which, undr our Ready-Money paid down Oae-Price Guarantee System, fixes our prices
lower th in the wholesale stores. This is a good time to visit the city, and the cost of the
fare can be saved in g-tti.ng Clothing at the Low Trices we are now selling our goods.

HOW HE tVON III rSET.
One of the Wst looking and nioet sont
after youii)? business men of Utica, X. Y.
had his gallantry r.nt to severe test List
week. A charming' married lady friend
wagered $15 with him that he dare not car
ry her bahy through, one of the most popu
lar streets of tlie city, and feeling particu
larly brave, he accepted the wager. . The
baby was the prettiest little Beven-montl.s
old mortal in Utica, and is the idol of its
handsome father aad mother. The mother
and other friends of the child were to follow
in a carriage to Bee that the task was com
pleted according to the terms of the wager.
The supposed father and his elegantly
dressed baby attracted general attention
tipon the business iortion of the street.
The gentleman's fri.ynda were not certain
that they had heard of his marriage, and he
hail been seen at the Opera-house frequent
ly of late, and each time with a different
charmer, but tlii must have been owiii to
the absence of his wife from town. The
hour chosen was one in which he generally
takes an airing, and all of his window
friends expected to see him, but not -w ith
a baby. Then the baby commenced to get
uneasy, and it was hard work to hold it out
at arm's length- Three or four merry mai
dens in an up-town residence rustled tLe
curtains in such a manner that the perspir
ing toiler knew that he was seen, but he
was bound to win, and win he did. When
the mother received her darling child from
the hands of the brave one, cold and hue
drops of perspiration poured from every
pore of his face, hia neck-tie was gone, and
his collar unbuttoned. Tlie next time he
ctLrries a baby through the 6trett he is con
fident that it will be his own, and that the
other stockholder to the cherub will be
within reach.
FAST OXEN.
A new agricultural idea has dawned in
regard to oxen. It has been discovered in
this age of railways that oxen are too slow,
and that they can be taught to go fast.
"In India, the oldest country in the world,
oxen take the jiliee of horses, and they
make as good time." Therefore, why not
train them to travel fast in our own bekv 1
land ? The way to do this is to put on the
whip, hurry them up, and make thorn g-.
When an ox gets into a corn-field, and tlie
dogs take after him, he can gallop almost
as fast as a deer; and when running away
on his own account he shuffles as Lively as a
dog. But it will be necessary to abandon
the yoke, which is clumsy at best, and put
on harness, as is done in North Carolina ;
and, beside, the rattling of the yoke, and
the jingling of the draw-chain would iu.t
sound well as one drives up to church on
Sunday morning at a round trot. Further,
to guide them with precision while goir.
at a fast gait to town, "whoa, haw and tree''
must be dropped, and bits be used; th'-n
one can make hislugjy wheel graze anoth
er bugy wheel, and no hr.nn will be done.
Next year ngricultur.il sock tits should of
fer premiums for f.ist oxen, and there coul 1
be no greater attraction th ai oc races ; f. r,
as the exhibition will be purely agricultural,
no immorality can attach. Lire ling own
for speetl a few years, we would be lik-.'y
to have a difereiit race of cov.. By til
means.
BROKEN PROMISES.
Peader, never break your promises ! And
to this end, never make a promise that you
are not sure you can fulfil. You may think
it a trifling matter to make an appointment
with a friend or agree to do a certain thin;.',
and then fail to "come to time ;" but it is
assuredly not a small alTair. If you vt
into the habit of neglecting to make good
your promises, how long, do you think, will
your friends and acquaintances retain con
fidence in you ? The nearest and dearest
of them will in time learn to doubt you, and
will put but little faith in your word3. And
there is a way of half me3ting one's obliga
tions, which might be called "bending" a
promise, wldch is also a very bad practice,
and should be carefully avoided.
For instance, you agree to meet a person
at a certain time ; but, instead of being
punctual, you put in an appearance several
minutes, perhaps an hour, after time, or you
promise to do something for a friend, and
only partially perform the duty. You may
not exactly have broken your promise, but
you have certainly bent it, which is almost,
if not quite, as bad. Keep your promise
to the letter ; be prompt and exact, and it
will save you much trouble and care through
life, and win for you the respect and a"ist
of your friends.
A RUSSIAN SITLEP.
During the Crimean campaign one of tho
principal regimental canteens in the Rus
sian army was suddenly closed in the faces
of officers and men, without notice or warn
ing. Prince Gortsehakoff, furious, rode up
to the purveyor, and demanded an explana
tion, whereupon the latter replied that, in
stead of yielding him, aa waa commonly
supposed, X20 of clear daily profits, his bus
iness was landing him in downright ruin,
inasmuch as the greater part of his receipts
consisted of false bank notes. The general,
at his wits end, telegraphed to the emper
or, and on receiving a reply told the pur
veyor that if he would open his canteen the
spurious notes in question should be cashed
by the bank aa if they had been genuine.
Armed with' this assurance, the purveyor
briskly resumed businss, and labored in
his vocation with auch zeal and diligence
that at the end of the war he had the satis
faction of being able to present for payment
to the Imperial Bank XW,000 worth of
counterfeit paper, scarcely any of which
had really been received by him in the
course of his dealings with the army.
Rectntlt the dogs lost a fox near to the
fit a lion of Ferte Saint Aubin, in France,
and, though they beat up the neighborhood
for two hours, could get no trace. It was
thought very strange that an old doj; was
missing also. Next day it was a-.ceriained
tl-at the To had leaped into the bageageear
of n train just going out, and the dog had
followed and kil.cd him.
