IS WORTH CsROAKM. A IIIXDRED We often meet upon the street A friend it is a joy to preet, Whose kindly smile and words of cheer Bid cloomy shadows disappear. He doos not show the marks of woe, Or of his trials let us know. Nor yet perform an actor's part To keep us distant from his heart. When he is near we have no fear, Or thoutrht, that he is insincere, So much of truth is in his gaze, So frank and cordial are his wavs. With mirthful charms he soon disarms Us of our sorrows and alarms, And says in bricrht, electric tones: "A laugh is worth a hundred groans !" We turn away to hid "Good day" To one who comes in sad array, With lengthening visage, and "the air That sorrow's children always wear. There is no mirth around his hearth. He adds not to the joys of earth. And fails to comprehend the jokps Of merry, laughter-loving folks. His touch is cold as churchyard mold, Without a word his griefs are told ; And few are anxious to attend His steps, or own him as a friend, life's sunny glow they never know Who thus in sombre livery go, And ever stubbornly endure The ill a hearty laugh might cure. More blest are they the glad and gay Who scatter sunshine on their way ; Whose heads in erief not long are bowed ; Who see the lieht through every cloud. The heart must bear its weight of care, And of life's troubles have a share, Of what avail these mournful moans? "A laugh is worth a hundred groans !" A DETECTIVE'S MISTAKE. A TRCE STORY.

S N L W D R C (i -S T ORE, E R E N S H U I j It was a dHll, rainy day, toward the end of j August. The clock that hung against the ; wall pointed to the hour of three in the af ; ternon, and I, a detective, was sitting by j myself in our little inner office. I was mas ! ing about Kitty Elton, and wondering how 1 long it would be before I would be a'ole to ' marry her. Dear little Kitty f She was as sweet and ; as patient as it was in the nature of a woman to be, but I knew it was a hard life for her in . that overcrowded milliner's workroom, day j after day and month after month, and I j longed to set her fres from that monotonous j captivity. The door opener! and Mr. Clenner l came in. .Mr. Clenner was our "chief" a dark, si lent little man, with stern gray eyes, which seemed to see everything at a glance. He sat down beside me. "Meredith," he said, "didn't you say you were getting tired of doing nothing?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I have something for you to do." "What is it, sir?." j "Something that will bring you both credit : and friends, if you manage it skillfully. t had intended to go myself, but circumstances ; happen untowardlv, and I shall send von in j stead."

POTTEK, Boaton. And then for the first time I became aware that some one had been watchinc our collo quy from me head of the stairs a young girl dressed, like the mother, in deep black, with very brilliant eyes, and a profusion of jet black ''SRlets. ''Some one to see your brother." She came half way down the stairs, push ing back her curls with one hand, and look ing at we with wondering eyes. Even then her beauty struck me as I stood gazing at her. 'Terley is not at home," she said hurried ly. "He has gone away. We do not know when lie will return." Evidently this mother and daughter were in the secret of Mattel's villainy, and do ing their best to screen him from its conse quences. My heart bled for both of them, but it was no time to indulge in sentimental pity. Speaking as briefly as I could, I told them it was my duty to compel them to re main where they were while I searched the house. Mrs. Matteson sat down, pale and tremb ling ; her daughter colored high. Mother," she said, "why do you stand by and listen to such slanders? It is false ! Let this man search the house if he will ; my brother is as innocent as I am." No opposition wasoffered to my search. It was entirely fruitless, however there was nowhere any traces of the flown bird. Nev ertheless. I concluded to remain there quiet" ly for a day or two, to see what a little wait ing might bring forth. The same afternoon Clara Matteson came in, as I sat by the piazza window, keeping a quiet watch on all the surroundings. "Mr. Meredith," she said softly, "mother thinks I have been rude to you. She says it was not your fault, personally, that you were sent here on such a mistake and perhaps she is right. I am very sorry if I have hurt your feeling." The pretty penitent way in which she spoke quite won my heart, and a few ques tions on my part 3eemed to unlock the hid den recesses of her confidence. She talked at first shyly, but afterwards with more as surance of herself, her absent brother and her mother, giving me a thousand artless lit tle family details which I almost dreaded to hear. The twilight talk was one of the pleasantest episodes of my by no means uni versally pleasant life, and I was considerably annoyed when it was broken in upon by the arrival of the Downvillc constables who were to watch througk the night. At the sound of their footsteps on the piazza floor, Clara rose up and sat down again, confused and frightened. "Oh, Mr. Meredith those men" "Re easy, Miss Matteson," I said; "you shall in no way be annoyed by them. Your privacy shall not be broken in upon, believe me." "I know I am silly," faltered Clara, "but oh ! it seems so dreadful !" My orders to the men were brief and suc cinct. I stationed them as seemed lies, tn "Clara Matteson !" I "Yes," he said, in a soft, sat cast ic voice. "Clara Matteson, or Terley Matteson, or j whatever you choose to call me ! Many j thanks for your politene?3, Detective Mere- ! deth ; and ir you would like another lock of J hair " ; I turned away, burning scarlet, while Mr. ' Clenner closed the door. "Never mind, my bov, it will be a lesson to jou," he said, laughing. "He makes a j very pretty girl, but I am not at all suscept ible." j What a double-eyed fool I had been ! I ' had lost the reward, failed in the estimation of my fellow officers, and behaved like a brute to pool Kitty and all for what?" I went to Kitty and told her the whole ' story, and to my surprise the dear, faithful j little creature loved me just as well as eyer. i "I won't be jealous of Terley Matteson, Edward," she said, smiling, "whatever I : might be of his sister. And, dearest, don't : be discouraged. I'll wait as long as you ' please, and you will be a second Mr. Clenner j yet." i She was determined to look on the bright ! side of things, this little Kitty of mine. ISut j I felt the mortification none the less keenly, ; although, as Mr. Clenner said, it would un doubtedly prove a good lesson to me. Ter ley Matteson's girlish beauty U eclipsed in : the State's prison nor do I pity him. The i stake for which he played was high and he ! lost. I THE SEW PRIMER.

That's where Mrs. Matteson lives " i I thanked my informant, and set out on a : brisk walk, carrying my traveling bag It was quite a distance ere I emerged from the suburbs of the "main street" into a quiet ......,uiiiuau orraineriane. The "patch o' woods" with the bars, and the "little yal ler house "a cream colored cottage, literally overgrown with honeysuckles rewarded my search, and as I knocked at the door a clocn somewhere inside struck seven. A decent looking, elderly woman, in wid ow's weeds came to the door. "Is Mr. Matteson in ? Mr. Perley ?" "So," she answered quickly, with, as I Imagined, rather a confused look. I did not believe her, and asked quietly : "When do you expect him home?" "Not at present." Apparently she expected me to go away, but, instead, I stepped in. "Mother," asked a soft voice at the head of the stairs, "who Is it?" Was I foolish to press the jetty ringlet to my lips ere I laid it closely against my heart? Clara evidently thought I was, for she laugh ed, but did not seem displeased. Mr. Clenner seemed annoyed when I got back to the Rureau rather an unreasonable proceeding on his part, fori certainly did all that man could do under the circumstances, "We have been mistaken all the way through, it seems," he said, biting bis lips. "Strange--very strange I never was before mistaken in my calculations. Well, we must try again." I went to Kitty Elton's that Dight. She received me with a sweet, shy sadness of welcome that should have made me the hap piest man in the world ; but it did not. ; Clara Matteson's dark beauty seemed to stand be tween me and her like a visible barrier. When I took my leave there were tears in her eyes, "Kitty, you are crying !" "Because you are changed, Edward ; you do not love me as well as you did t" "Kitty, what nonsense !" I was vexed with her simply because I knew her accusation was true. But I kissed her once more and took my leave moody and dissatisfied. When I reached the office next morning Mr. Clenner was not there. "lie has gone to Downville," said my fel low detective ; "he went last night." "To Downville ?" I was seriously annoyed. Did Mr. Clen ner distrust the accuracy of my reports ? Or did he imagine that I was unable to intitute a thorough and complete investigation of the premises ? "It's very strange," I mused aloud. Jones laughed. "Well," he said, "you know Clenner has a strange way of doing things. Depend upon it, he has gooa reasons for his conduct." I was sitting at my desk two days subse quently, when the door glided noiselessly open and Clenner himself entered. "You are back again, sir, and what luck?" "The best." "You don't mean to say you've got him ?" "I do mean to say it. Edward Meredith, I knew I could not bo entirely mistaken. Terley Matteson is in the next room half an hour from now he will be in prison." "Where did you apprehend him ?" "At home in his mother's house." "But" "He was there all the time you remained there.

The following article should be read and pondered well 'by every ni;m who takes a newspaper without paying for it : The result of my observation enables me to state as a fact that pub!ishers-of newspa pers are more poorly rewarded than any other class of men in the United States, who invest an equal amount of labor, capital and thought. They are expected to do more service for less pay, to stand more sponging and dead heading, to puff and defend more people without any fee or hope of reward than any other class. - Thev credit wider and longer; get oftener cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, and are oftener the victims of misplaced confidence than am other calling in the community.

The somnambulist is a middle aged man of nervous, Imaginative temperament, who lives in Ls wist. ii, and who casually told one of his midnight adveiiturc-s to a Journ-d reporter last evening.

"I remember the circumstance vwth great vividness, although it was years ago, when I was a mere boy. 1 was in a strange house. I arose lrom my bed, walked the length of a long coiridor and succis?lul!j evaded the stairs. I funihled around the latch of the room occupied by a gentleman boarding at the house, causing him to shout, but not to deter me. 1 entered his room and carried on an animated eonveisation with him before I came to my senses. It was fortunate that he recognized me iu the moonlight, as he would otherwise, probably, have rewarded my persistency with a shot or two from a re volver, which lay ou a chair by his bedside. He told me, after I awoke, that I said 1 was trying to find my folks and "knew tin y vvere in there somewhere. The sensation I expe lienced was novel, 1 assure you, and far from agreeable. It was with a feeling of re lief that I returned to my blanket-after 1 gained consciousness. Consciousne5s came to nie suddenly, and I fell so crest-fallen at my discovery of my actions that 1 didn't stay to make many itiqdiries. "These phenomena did not happen veiy frequently. It was fully a year after this happened that I next displayed my somnam bulistic tendency. My father caught me by the hair one night, and I suddenly realized the discomforts of somnambulism. I had wandered down stairs, simply put on my hat and overcoat over my chamber rccalia, (it being the winter season,) had placed my books under my arm, and was going over the threshold of the front door, when le reached and testrained me. It was not un til I returned to my normal state that I felt cold, although I was in my hare feet. At the instant of returning consciousness, how ever, the sensations were severe, and it is a wonder that illness did not result. "Another time, my folks were aroused in the night by a racket down in the sitting room. The sound was as if a saw mill had been started somewhere in the vicinity.
