MY OLD POCKET-BOOS
'Tis sad to part, for you and I
Have passed through many scenes together
We've seen the ups and downs of life—
Its stormy and its sunny weather.
We've seen that many pass by us,
Because our garb is worii and seedy,
Forgetting all the favors past,
When we were flush and they were need)
But we will speak of other things;
Our past is dead with all Its glory,
And is to all but you and me
A stale, uninteresting story.
In looking o'er the many scraps
From out thy folds and secret places,
What sad mementos do I find
Of many long-departed faces,
Here:is a note of money loaned
To aid a friend in his distresses,
And here—God bless her—is a lock
Of little Daisy's golden tresses.
And here all nicely raelrca away—
A faded ribbon tied around it—
The golden toy she gave to rue,
Till now I never have unbound it
And here and there an ancient coin,
A bit of prose, a pleading sonnet,
With Daa,y's sad untimely death,
The " lines " a friend once wrote upon it
And last, not least, a pencil sketch,
The likeness of a dear loved brother,
And with it—seen through bitter tears—
The silver tresses of my mother,
Again place Within thy folds
These secret tokens °Collection,
And treasure them., as themes of thought
In all my hours of retrospection.

A MOUSTACHE, AND WHAT CAME OF IT
I, Alfred Troptop, was on the point of
leaving home and the friends of my youth,
to enter business with my uncle in Phila
delphia. I was just twenty-two, and was
generally thought good-looking, had re
ceived a liberal education, and, altogether,
might put myself down as well known and
liked in New York, and a creditable mem
ber of my father's establishment. Only two
events had occurred to disturd the peaceful
monotony of a harmless career—one, my
entrance into a military company; the
other the pledging of my affections to my
cousin Arabella, who came for a month
from Philadelphia, stayed with us, and
sealed my fat, o forever. In a word, I loved,
and was beloved again.
I don't mind confessing that this was the
main cause of my willing acceptance of a
seat in her father's office in Philadelphia;
and thus it came to pass that I was just on
the point of beginning life in the Quaker
city—l and my mustache. Hero my troub
les may properly be said to have begun.
Let me ho honest, and trace them at the
outset to their cause.
My uncle was a methodical, plodding
lawyer, who lived principally in his office,
and barely tolerated life out of it. Again
and again had my father pressed upon me
the necessity of assuming as quiet and re-
.spectable a qauner as .possi And: yet,
when I stepped on board the steamer which
was to take me to Philadelphia, it was in
a new military-looking suit, which cost
nearly fifty dollars ; hair as short as scis
sors could make it, and parted with the
greatest precision ; and my mustache curl
ing upward at the corners of my mouth, in
regular military style—as the hair dresser
assured me.
It was a lovely morning we steamed mer
rily down the bay. The water was perfect
ly smooth,"the hand was playing "
Land." and I saf in the stern in most ap
proved military attitude, twisting my mus
tache and haughtily looking about me.
Arabella ! where was thy image? Alas !
confined to oblivion in my breast pocket.
One look at it would have saved me. I
gazed at a living, loving image near me,
and was infatuated. She sat beside me, in
all the fascination of a muslin dress and
coquettish straw bat, with a pair of dark
eyes glancing beneath it ; and I wished she
would tumble overboard, straw hat and all,
that I might be so happy as to rescue and
enslave her forever.
She belonged, so I perceived, to a stout,
merry-looking old gentleman, who walked
up and down, looked at the distant coast
through a telescope, talked to everybody
around, and was evidently in high spirits
with himself and the world around goner
aly. We fell into conversation. The fair
onejoined in the chat and laugh. I was in
Paradise. How t blessed my good fortune !
"In the army," I presume sir, said Pa
terfamilias.
I couldn't have denied it for the world.
So I t:::,wed with dignity. The fair erea
lure looked at me admiringly. The father
said:
"I knew it."
He spoke in a loud voice and other peo
ple heard him, and ho surveyed me with
interest—especially a gentleman also with
a mustache-and a military air, an individ
ual with lreckles and eye-glass and a quiet
looking person—who had the appearance
of a clergyman. I mention these three for
a reason which w•i1l be seen hereafter.
"Tour hand, sir ; I love the military,"
said the old gentleman. •' A line set of fel
lowfrovery'one of them. Let me see, what
is your regiment ?"
I hadn't studied the army list for noth-
'• The I'2otl United States Smashers," I
said boldly. It was Frank Gamble's old
regiment. I had met him a few months
back, and heard from him a good deal of it
and its mess. The gentleman with tho mus
tache looked at me more earnestly than
ever.
•• I'm a peaceable man myself," said the
old gentleman. " Never fired a gun in my
life; winked my eyes all the time they
were shouting at the review last week ; but
I love Inc military, sir; proud to make
your acquaintance. Grinthie, sir, is my
name, and that's toy daughter Alice. She
likes an officer, too, I know."
She blushed, I think. I know I did.
Now, excuse my freedom," continued
my new acquaintance; I'm a plain man.
We'll make a pleasant day of it. Just tell
us a few of your adventures; I know you
have lots of them ; and may be I'll give
you n few of mine afterward."
I was under the influence of that demon
of a moustache, and, in my infatuation, call
ed Frank Gamble to my aid. I gave them
all his stories second hand, and a few more.
Men whom I had never known I was fool
enough to represent us my bosom friends ;
tales of the United States Smashers, which
had convulsed me with laughter when I
heard them, I repeated us incidents of my
own experience. I figured as the princi
pal actor in the mess scenes of the 120th.
The gentleman with the mustache, he with
freckles' and be who looked liken parson,
all listened will, several others. Mr. Grim-
We threw in, " Well, that is capital !" and
turned round to the rest for their approval,
and we were quite a merry party. I was
the lion—the military man. 1 was quite
in my glory.
Dinner was announced in the saloon; we
all went down to it together. f sat beside
Miss Grimble and flirted with her. I or
dered a bottle of champagne, which cost
me five dollars, and Mr. Grimble ordered
another. After dinner when the ladies
wore gone, I had a third bottle up; and
somehow the gentleman with freckles, and
the clerical one, all joined in with us, and
we swallowed champagne as if it were our
usual beverage. We were very merry and
talkative ; but I begun to feel a little un
comfortable. I had only three dollars left
in my pocket, and was afraid I may be
called on to stand something more; in
which case I shouted have been in a terrible
fix. I may remark, by the way, that I
carried a one-hundred dollar bank note in
my pocket, in trust for my uncle—some un
settled account between him and my father
—but of course that was sacred. We went
on deck again, and smoked together.
"And to think," said he with freckles,
" that great horse-race comes off in New
York to-day. What kind of a book have
you?"
Now it happened that I had never bet.
But I said carelessly, Oh ! so, so ; let roe
sec, what was the odds last night. Even?"
I said confidently.
" Now," said my companion, " I am not
a betting man, but I don't mind a five or
two on Maccaroni. They will have the
winner by telegraph when we get to Phila
delphia."
" Anything you like," I said recklessly.
" I can't spend more than fifty," freckle.;
replied, and he boo, ed it.
Fifty dollars on a horse I knew nothing
about ; and I with only three dollars of my
own ! Of course I trembled, and cried off
at once? Not a bit. I was a military man
with a mustache. I noted it down, and
turned the conversation with an easy air,
as if fifty dollars, more or less, were a per
fect trifle, When I had finished my cigar,
and walked back to Miss Grimble, and •
talked and flirted with her on the quarter
deck, the afternoon sped on, tho light-house
rose up before us,and we drew near the har
bor.
I bad promised to look after the Grimble's
baggage, and as I walked toward the pad
dle-boxes for that purpose, my friend with
the mustache stopped me.
"I must beg your pardon," said he.
"Front what I have unavoidably heard to
day, you belong to the 12.0 th. Now, curi
ously enough, it happens that I am going
over to the rendezvous of the United States
Smashers in a few days, and should be
glad of a letter of introduction to that bro
ther officer of yours—Sharples ; I heard
you mention him. lam hero for a day or
two, and will call on you. Where are you
putting up?"
" Aye, that's a question I was going to
ask," said be of the freckles. Ho was close
behind us, and so was the clergyman.
Somehow this brought the lawyer's office,
and my uncle, and the end of my journey
at once before me.
"Going to stop ?" I said hesitating. "Oh,
with some friends of mine."
"Are they coming to meet you ?"
"No," I said, "I dont suppose they will."
"Then I tell you what," went on my
freckled acquaintance—he of the mustache
had turned suddenly away to my great re
lief,•"l tell you what,lve got a capital joke.
We've had a jolly passage, and I like you.
You're just the fellow for my money. Let's
have a little dinner and a bottle of wine to•
gather, out of the bet, you know. The win
ner to stand it. Send on your things by a
boy,and tell them you've met an old friend.
Come, is it a bargain?" and ho slapped me
on the back.
"Hallos! Here we are at the pier," ho
continued, before I could answer. "Who's
the winner ?" yelling to the crowd.
":lacearoni!" shouted a fellow
"By George! Iv'e wou my fifty and lost
tho dinner! You can't hang back at any
rate—and can't get out of it, nohow. Look
after your traps, and we'll be off together."
Even at that moment, at the eleventh
hour, as it were, I inight have been saved.
The man of freckles I felt to be a sharper ;
green as I was I know it. But there I stood
owing him fifty dollars, and only my
uncle's bank note in my pocket. Any
thing, however to postpone payment. Per
haps I could appeal to his generosity after
a glass of wine ; perhaps—
But by the time I bad got thus far, the
Grimbles had bidden me good by, and I
was off with my tempter to the hotel. I en
tered it and was lost !
What n luxurious dinner!-several sources
a good deal of wine, punch afterward. The
bill said so, and I believe it was correct. I
drank recklessly to drown the pricltings of
conscience, until at last, with an imbecile
smile, as if I liked it, I actually took out
the note to pay the fifty dollars. My com
panion gave me fifty in exchange.
How long the orgio lasted I don't know.
I remember my companion asking me to
excuse him for a minute, and going out. I
recollect of beino dimly . .... 457.:

sloop
A rude shake awoke me. There was
quite a crowd—the landlord, several wait
ers, two policemen, and a background of
curious spectators. In front—could it be
real?—was my silent friend of the steamer,
who was so like a parson.
"James Moss, I arrest you as n swindler
and utterer of base coin. It's no use mak
ing any fuss, so give yourself up quietly."
Was he addressing me? or was it all a
horrid nightmare? I tried to collect my
self. There he was speaking again."
"The game's up, my man. Not badly
played, but lost. Where's your companion
eh?"
Somebody—the landlord, I suppose—in
timated he had left, saying I would settle
the bill.
"Then I pity you, that is all," said the
friend iu black. "Search him, officers."
No, it should never come to that. I found
voice at last—l found limbs. With the for
mer I protested my innocence ; with the
latter I believe I made an attempt to es
cape. lam sensible I was much knocked
about. At last I found myself, bruised,
hoarse, and—O, ye powers !—handcutred,
hold down in a chair, while my pockets
were being searched and emptied. Out
came the fifty dollars which remained of
my uncle's note. Time man in black pounc
ed upon them, looked at them, examined
them, and threw them on the table and
laughed.
"I thought so. Counterfeit every one of
them. How much for your dinner, land
lord ? Take him away, my men."
The truth flashed on me. The man with
freckles was the real Simon Pure; he had
swindled me out of my hundred dollars,and
I was being sacrificed in his place. But
explanations were of no use now. Perhaps
my words were little incoherent. Bare
headed, the coat half off my back—praying,
beseeching, the sorriest wretch on earth—l
caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
I was hurried through the streets, thronged
with pleasure•seekers enjoying the calm
summer evening. Amid au applauding,
excited crowd, who would hardly let us
pass—beads thrust out of windows above—
people struggling for a view—l was dragged
between the two policemen, personifying

Moss. Some ladies and gentlemen were at
an open window. What do I perceive?
The Grimbles! and with them—yes,it must
be—l see her, and she recognizes me; they
all do—Arabella! A shriek, and Mr. Grim
ble's "Bless my soul!" were the last sounds
I heard as I fainted.
Early next morning I was taken to the
Police court. To my torn,begg,arlY appear
ance of the previous evening was ad
ded the seedy, sodden look produced by a
night's lodging in the cell. Everything
about me was wretchedness. How I revil
ed that abominable mustache, the cause of
all my woes! I implored the jailer to cut it
off for me, or let me do it myself; but no.
"You'll have it off fast enough, my fine -
fellow, when you get sent up," ho remark
ed, "and your hair is a bit shorter."
Oh ! the unutterable shame and misery as
I looked around the crowded court. Ara
bella and Miss. Gritnble were not there, but
half the town was; my uncle, and Mr.
Grhnble, and the gentleman with the mus
tache, and my clerical captor.
The latter spoke first. Ho was a detect
ive—William Shaw, as he stated of New
York. He had heard that Tames Moss was
coming over to Philadelphia the day before.
Took a passage in the same steamer. The
description of Moss put into his hands was,
"young man, sunburnt, has a look of in
temperance, a large mustache, talks loud,
passes himself off as a military 101111. lle
appealed to the court to satisfy himself by
inspection, with regard to the correspond
ence, as to personal appearance. As to
manners, he gave evidence that the priso
ner had passed liimself off as an officer be
fore the whole steamer; had caused every
one to notice him ; otferred bets on the race;
ordered an expensive dinner at the It—
Hotel ; had been apprehended there; re
sisted with violence, and was found With
$3O counterfeit money (now produced) on
his person,
For confirmation of this he called upon
two gentlemen who had both been repeat
edly addressed by the prisoner during the
passage, Here he pointed to him with the
mustache and Mr. Grimble. The landlord
gave the history of the dinner at once. Fi
nally he requested leave to carry the priso
ner back to New York by the next steamer.
That nothing might be wanting, the gen
tleman with a mustache came forward. He
was an officer of the 120th U. S. Smashers.
Re came over from New York with priso
ner. Prisoner declared himself to belong
to his (the witness') regiment ; he knew it
to be a false and determined to expose him.
Heard him mention various well-known
names in the 120th, coupled with slande
rous tales, for the amusement of the whole
steamer. Prisoner had oven offered to givo
him a letter of introduction to his own
brother.
My uncle got up. I wished the earth
would open and swallow me. He spoke in
a cold, mechanical manner, and kept his
eyes away from me. I felt my punishment
was indeed heavy, when I heard him tell
the court that it was from no desire to
spare me that lie came forward, but simply
from ase Ise of justice. That ho wished
from his heart I had really been James
Moss, and not what I was—his miserable
fool of a nephew. And as I listened, the
shame.' had brought on myself overcame
me completely. The court, with the mock
ing faces in it, seemed to vanish, and I
heard, as in a dream, a fierce battle about
my identitv,during which it graduallycame
out that James Moss was the man with
freckles, and I his dupe; and that he had
wisely taken the night train to Baltimore.
The detective was foaming with rage at
having been again buflled by the chief de
linquent; the court set me tree, with a
stinging reprimand, and the people outside
shouted to bring the fellow out that they
might duck him.
Only ono idea possessed me. I determin
ed to leave Philadelphia at once and for
ever : to cut off and cast from me that curs
ed mustache, and be the sou of my father
once more.
Let me hasten to an end. At my uncle's
request a guard of policemen protected me
to the pier; he himself paid my passage.
Amid the ironical cheers of the visitors and
natives of Philadelphia, I found myselt on
board the very boat that had witnessed my
folly; even the deck-hands grinnad as I
rushed headlong into the cabin, never to
come up again till we reached New York.
'What need to say more? I lost Arabella;
I lost my situation and my uncle's favor at
the same time; I was disgraced at home
and abroad; and all—l pledge you my
word—all through a mustache.

A CORRESPONDI:NT at the seat of war in
, Europe says, describing a battle-field after
the conflict: " On a mound of earth was a
general and aid-de-camp. I approached
and found that the former was Do Failly.
He was an incapable officer, but he died
like a soldier. The grape-shot had torn
open his breast to show that he had a heart.
Fragments of a shell had fractured his left
shoulder, entered the abdomen, shattered
the thighs, and ploughed into the forehead.
He was so disfigured that had I not been
old that it was him, I should never have
recognized him." Considering the fact
that Do Failly is at present a prisoner at
Mayence, sound in body and limb, his
powers of recuperation are really quite re
markable. It is evident that the writer of
the above is not the " reliable correspond
ent" of the war.

A DUTCRLIAN'S INSURANCE
A story is told of a German who bad tak
en. the precaution to insure the life of his
wife for five thousand dollars, and his sta
ble for nine hundred, believing the former
might die and the latter be burnt, and he
could not get along without some compen
sation for the loss. Both policies had been
taken from the same agent. In a few
months after the stable had been insured
it was destroyed by fire. Shmidt quietly
notified the agent, and hinted to him that
he would expect the $9OO at the earliest mo
ment possible. The agent at once sent a
carpenter to ascertain the cost of erecting a
new stable of the same dimensions, having
ascertained that the property had been in
sured for more than it was worth. The
builder reported that he could replace the
stable with new material for $000; but un
fortnnatety there was an ordinance pre
venting the erection of frame buildings—
the old stable having been of wood. Ho
was asked to estimate the cost of a brick
stable, and reported the amount at S7.A
The agent then notified Shmidt that he
would build him a new brick stable in
place of the old frame one, but Schmidt be
came indignant at the proposition, saying:
" I do not understand this insurance bus-
ine,,s. I pay you for 4900 and when my
stable burn down you make mo a new one.
I not want a new slitable. I want nino
hundred dollars."
Tho agent reasoned with Shmidt, but all
to no purpose. When the stable was about
finished, Shmidt went to consult a lawyer,
thinking he could still get the amount.
The lawyer, however, informed him that
the company had a right to make good the
loss by building a new stable, and express
ed surprise at the idea of bringing suit
against him.
" But," said Shmidt. " I insure for nine
hundred dollar and this feller put up dem
shtable for seven hundred and fifty—l do
not understand this insurance business."
Finding that he cold not compel the pay
ment by law, he became disgusted with the
insurance business altogether. Calling
upon the agent, Shmidt said:
" Mr. Agent, I want you to stop dent in
s.irance on my frog-. I do not pay any
more monist] dat way; I do not undershtand
this insurance business."
Agent (surprised.) " Why, Mr. Shmidt
yon are doing a very foolish thing. You
have paid considerable on this policy al
ready, and if your wife should die you will
get $5000."
" Yaw, dat is what you tell me now,"
said Shmidt. " Yen I pays you on my
shtable you say I get nine hundred dollars
if it burns:down. So it was burnt and you
not give me my rnonisb. You say, 'O, dat
was an old fram shtable,' and you no pay
me mine nine hundred dollars. Yen my
frow dies, den you say to me, 'O, she each
an old Dutch woman ; sbo not word any
dings; I get you a new English wife!"
And so I lose mine live thousand dollars.
You not fool Shmidt again. I not under
stand dis insurance business."

Nothing like G rammer ! Better go with

nur,nberless "professors" who go "tramp,

try, peddling a weak article, by which "in

thoroughly up in the English language. An
instance in point from Greenville,Alabams,
where a "professor" had labored with the
youth of that people, and taught them to
dote on grammar according to Morris'
system. During one of the lectures the
sentence, "Mary milks the cow," was given
out to be parsed. Each word had been
parsed save one, which fell to Bob L—, a
sixteen-year old, near the foot of the class,
who commenced thus: "Cow is a noun,
feminine gender. singular number, third
person, and .stands fur Mary." "Stands for
Mary !" said the excited professor. "How
do you make that out?" "Because answer

for Mary, how could Mary milk her?"—Ed

A LETTER in the Now York Past, front
Germany, gives a harrowing account of the
horrors of war. The weeping widows and
wailing children surround every railway
train in hopes of intelligence concerning
husbands and fathers, and the wild cry of
grief strikes the ear as sorrow stricken
forms telling of death and desolation pass
by. The graves in Prussia will be count -
le , ss ; the mourning universal. Factories
and workshops aro closed, and no smoko
ascends from the tall chim,e---
s. Few la
,arten are seen in the fields
borers besides T.- -
and t).-
crops and the vineyards aro neg
lected. The summer cloud of tourists has
lied, and the numerous hotels are almost
entirely deserted. On the Rhine, instead
of boats loaded with passengers or heavy
with merchandise, a few steamers are only
to be noticed, and these with the exception
of the Dutch neutral boats, invariably tly
the white flag with its red cross of St. John,
thus indicating that their solo occupation
has become the transportation of the
wounded. The business of instruction in
the schools is also mainly suspended, and
the whole time and energy of the scholars
devoted to the preparation of bandages or
the scraping, of lint.
ART CS WA RD, in ono of his letters,
thus gave his idea of" re-organization:"
" I never attempted to re-organize my
wife but once. I shall never attempt it
again. I'd bin to a public dinner, and had
allowed myself to be betrayed into drinkin'
several people's beanie:, and, wishin' to
make 'em as robust as possible, I continued
drinkin' their health till my own was af
fected. Consekens was, I presented my
self at Betsy's bedside late at nito with con
siderable Deicer concealed about my per
son. I luei somehow got persession of a
boss whip on my way home, and remem
berin' some cranky ohservashun of . 3lrs.
Ward's in the mornin, I snapped the whip
putty lively, and in a very loud voice I
said : ' Betsy, you need re-organizin.'
have come, Itetss, I continued, crackin'
the whip over the bed, . I have come to re
organize you.' "
"I dreamed that nice that somebody had
laid a loss-whip over me sev'ril conseku
live times; anu when I woke up I found
she had. I haint drank much of anything
since; and if I ever have another re•organ
izin' job on hand, I shall let it out."
AN anecdote is related illustrative of the
slyness of the Bohemians compared with
the simple honesty of the German and the
candid unscrupulousness of the Hungarian.
In war times three soldiers, of each of these
nations, met in a parlor of an inn, over the
chimney-piece of which hung a watch.
When they had gone the German s a id,
"That is a good watch; I wish I had
bought it:'''l sm sorry 1 did not take
it," said the Hungarian. "I have it in
my pocket," said the Bohemian.
