A Minister Falls Among Thieves.!
On Broadway, Mew Fourteenth'
"trout, stood a church that at one time
was one of tho mont fashionable in the
city. Tho congregation was wealthy
and large ; tho minister eloquent and
popular. The hello of the city, with
the young and tho fashionable, crowd
ed the church when the pantor filled
the pulpit In tho full flush of bis
popularity, when a pew could not be
hired nt any price, when any salary
would have been paid to hi in that ho
domandod, tho minister dihappearcd.
Uuite lute on baturdav niirht tlm vm-
try received a letter from the rector,'
dittcu of! handy Hook. Tho letter
tendoreu the rector resignation, ind
announced that he had aailed that day
at noon in one of the canard atenmera
for Kurone. Tho parish wort sur
prised and alarmed. The whol. affair
was a painful mystery. Here was a
minister, settled over a flourisb.ng and
moral cliurtro, with a lino churob and
parsonage, a church crowded arith the
elite of tho city, with a salary equal
to any aenianus be might make, witb
the best siiiL'itir' in the city, and all the
popular appliances, who had suddenly
resigned, uuu privately lull tbe coun
try, to go no one knew where.
The story ib a romance. The expla
nation chino after the' minister Lad
completed his European tour. At
midniL'lit tbo door bell of his parson
age was violently rung. Going to the
window, the minister saw a man stand
ing on hiadoor-titone.and he demanded
his business. lie caune witb a rnce-
sago, he said, from a dying woman.
Hastily dressing himself, tho good
man came to tho door aud received
tho message Just around the block
was a poor woman, and she was dying,
ller only treasure was a baho. She
could not dio in peace unless hor babe
was baptized. 11 his reverence would
come to her dying pillow, and admin
inter that sacrament, tho blessing ot a
poor dying woman would be hit re
ward, it was much to auk, and at
midnight, too, but his great Jluslor,
who loved the poor, would not nave
denied such a request as this.
J 1 is humane and religious sympa
thies wcro aroiined, aud the minister
followed tho messenger. Common
prudence would have said, "Take a
policeman with you. C all op a friend,
and get linn to bour part in the cere-
mony. liut, dreaming of no peril,
he wen t on his way to do, as bo thought,
his Master's will. He was soon in a
dessolute region, in a street notorious
for it oncloanncss. The mcssonirer
knocked at a heavy gate, that cloned
up a narrow, dark ulley. Il opened
immediately, and slummed behind the
parties like a prison door. I li rough
a long, narrow, and unwholesome en
try, that seemed to be Bn alley-way
covered, tho parties took their way.
Ihcy passed up a narrow staircase,
broken and rickety. Lewd women
wcro passed on tho stairs. Iark
featured aud villainous-looking men
seemed to crowd the place. V ith his
sacred vestments on his arm, and his
book of service in his hand, the minis
ter was ushered into a dark and un
wholesome looking room. The door
was closed behind him, and locked.
A dim candle on the table revealed
tho outline of a dozen persons, male
and female, of the most abandoned
and desperate class. His inquiry for
the sick woman, and tbo child to ho
baptized, was greeted by shouts of
laughter, lie knew he was a victim,
lie demanded the reason for this out
rago. He was informed that his
friends who hud invited him there
wanted money. Ilia Handing and
character were well known, lie was
in one of the most notorious houses in
New York; his midnight visit to that
plaeo was well known, and could
easily bo proved. If ho paid one
thousand dollars, all would he woll.
If pot, his ruin was certain. Instead
of defying the villians, calling on the
police, or confiding in his congrega
tion, ho thought ho would hush the
matter up. lie might havo known
that it would all come nut, and that
every dollar ho paid would bo nsod as
evidence against, or as mear.s to extort
more, llui he was thoroughly light
ened : would not have the thing known
for tho world; his hand was in tbe
lion's mouth, and he must draw it out
as easily as bo could ; so he gave his
obligation to pay tho money promptly
at noon tho next day, which ho did.
Of conrso new demands wcro made
from time to time. He waa dogged
in tho streets. Suspicious looking
men stopped to apeak with him on
the corners. Notorious men rang his
door bell. Mysterious notes, from iif
nnrant, low bred, and vicious porsonsing is not a man s roi to thero must tie
ai the snelline nnd languago showed' something clso at which ho can suc-
camo to his hand, and into tho hands
of hia family. The poor man was
nearly distracted, lie paid away ins
own money ana oorrowca tin nis
reputation siiflcrod. The throat ol
exposure hung over him like an omin

REP
THE ABT OF TAKING THINGS.
The author of the "Kecreations of a
Country Pm-son" has written some
very fiiie articles on the art of putting
things, but if ho has not yet written,
or does not heroufter write, something
on the art of taking things, he hns left
his work only hull finished. When
we speak of taking things wo do not
mean taking whut iloua not belong to
us, for that is forbidden, but only those
tbingr) which minister to our own
happiness, and do not in any way
diminish that of others or interfere
with thoir proporty. Tho author
above spoken of leaches us how to
fut things which aro in themselves
unpleasant, in such a way as to make
Mhers least uncomfortable, but he
nillbt also learn liow to take things
from others and ollen from ourselves
with a kind of stoical philosophy, or
we will continually bo trotting over
thingri, which makes us unhiippy and
does not mend matters in the leant.

who had the right spirit in this re
spect, though ho may not have been
eminently successtul in tho practice
of it. If all of us wore actuated by
his desires, both taking things and
putting them could bo made less un
ploasunt. Being one day working his
master's oxen, both of them fell into
an unfortunate ditch and broko their
nocks. When ho camo home his mas
ter asked him what he had done with
the oxen. Ho answered thai one of
them had fallen into a gutter and
broken hit neck. "And whut become
of the other one n " Uo foil in, too,"
said the darkey, "liut, why," said
the master, "didn't you tell mo about
both at once 1" " Cos I war '1'ruid
youcouhln'tstood it." I'nfortunutely,
too many persons, online mis uiiick
philosopher, try to put things in their
most disagrccahlo light, ant if wo do
not achool ourselves in tho truo art of
taking things we will bo kept in a
continual boil.
It is no liltlo comfort to a mnn if ho
can laugh at the shortcomings of man
kind, espcciully if they aro of such a
character that from tho very nnturo
of things he can not remedy thorn.
When we say lawih wo do not so much
mean that expression (or contortion)
ol the countenance called laughing,
but rather that inward serenity of
temper that always puts the best con
struclion upon everything. "Always

A MENAGERIE ON FERE.
Forepaiigh'a meniigorio caught fire
in riiiludelidiia on .Saturday night,
and, from the following account, there
was a lively timo among thoanimuls:
The buildings of Mr. Forcpaugh
wore completely wrecked. He esti
mates his loss ut between $30,000 and
$10,000. He had no insurance what
ever upon his properties. Two or
thrco cages of small animuls were de
stroyed ; one of thorn contained sev
eral specimens of monkey s, tho others
wcro tilled with foxes, raccoons and
wolves. Besides, no less than fifteen
of his fancy wagons wore destroyed,
in addition to harness and other para
phernalia incident to a menagerie.
Although, as mentioned, some of the
animals wore burned, fortunately the
great majority of them were rescued.
As soon as the flames wers iirxt dis
covered tho animals wcro thought of,
and citizens rushed in and rolled the
cages out into the street. It was im
possible to save the wagons.
The fire burned stubbornly for some
two hours before tho firemen could
get it under control.
Ol course tho bre soon gathered a
largo crowd to tho spot, ami the high
est excitement reigned an excite
ment, too, very materially augmented
by the escape of several of the ani
mals from the cages during the hurried
confusion ot rescuing them from tho
rapidly approaching names, licforc
the firo reached the building in which
were most of tho cages, tho firemen
and citizens had succeeded in getting
them out and running thorn along the
sidewulk and the street. While this
work was in progress, a tigress was
soon making her way out of the build
ing. Sho had escuped from tho cage
in which she was confined, and, brist
ling with fright, rushed toward the
street rapidly, to bo sure but yet
with much uncertainty.
As soon as she was observed a shout
aroso "A tiger ! a tiger I" and men,
women and childien, dismayed at the
thought of encountering tho formida
ble beast, ran pell-mell in every direc
tion, in search of places of safety.
Tho women shrieked, tho children
cried and tho men yelled. Tho very
noiso lent speed to flying legs, and
some of the moro aged, hurrying in
flight, roado fur hotter timo than ihey
hud done lor yours, lbs hrcmen,
however, stood their ground, watch
ing a chanco to capture the escaped
animal following after the tiger
camo a leopard, then a wolf. Things
were getting-warm, and one might
easily havo imagined himself as the
noise ol the crackling timbers sounded
in his cars, tho lurid light of tho flames
burst upon his eyes, and the unshackled
beasts passing near hnn upon a Vi est
ern prairie whilo il blazed in firo.
Ibo people who had been gazing
from doors und windows upon the
accno of conflagration hastily retreat
ed, and shutters were closed in a trice.
Clouds of petticoats dodgod around
the corners, and many were trampled
under loot In the demoralized skedad
dlo. Tho fortunate prosoncu of Mr.
Foropaugh and como of his assistants
at thu breaking out of tho bro, togeth
cr with the manly conduct of tho fire
men, prevented, however, any serious
consequences resulting from tho escape
of tho beasts.
In one instance, whero a bar was
loose from ono of the cages, and a tiger
was endeavoring to make his exit, two
men stood by tho opening with clubs
and bo it back the animal until ono of
Mr. Forepaugb's employees reached
tho sec no und replaced tho iron bar.
A lion succeeded in getting free, but
as the hugo bruto was about to puss
down tho street somo ol tho firemen
seized a largo packing box, and throw
ing it over tho dangerous cusiomor,
held him prisoner until after the fire
was cxtiniruishcd.
Tho animals themselves were evi
dently frightened, and only sought
ufler their cscapo, places where they
could liido.
Somo of tho employees of Mr. Foro
paugh started in pursuit of iho fugi
tivo animals. Tho tigress was foiled
in the cellar of a building about two
squares distant from tho firo, whero
sho had taken rclugo ; sho wus easily
captured. Iho leopard ran upjcllcr
son street to Twenty-first, when, per
ceiving thi open door of a dwelling,
in ho ran, passing, on his wav to the
parlor, one or two ludies. They at
tirsi supposed tho bruto a largo dog,
but after they discovered its true char

Forepaugb's assistants some timeaflor-
wards were informed ot bis wberea
bouts and captured him.

He then applied to a clergyman to

"But are you prepared for such an

reverend gentleman. "I guess I be,"
savs Jonathan, "for I havo got my

"Very well," said tho holy man,

This was a poser. "Sal Vation,"

An Extraordinary Case of Bigamy.
An extraordinary caso of bigamy
was before tho court yesterday oven-
ng. iho prisoner was a huiidsomo
and Inshionably attired young man,
named Albert A. Whitehead, about 21
years of age, and tho circumstances of
his case are as follows : On tho 17th
of June 108, Whitehead, who is a
rcul "ludv-killer," married a vounir
udy named Kniuia Houblcduv the
daughter of Mr. Ilenrv Doubleday, a
well-known citizen of Brooklyn the
ceremony being performed by the liev.
Air. Adams, ol Ibo Hoot btruet M.
Church.
On tho 4th of July last, young
Whitehead asked his father in-law.

n order to got Into business. Mr.
Doubleday advanced him i-M. Juet
at this timo, however, a young girl
brought mo i.ewBlolHrs. Whitehead
that her h unhand was courting a Miss
l.inma liable, and was to be married
to her at nn early dute, an that "Al
bert's" wedding suit was then being
made. Tho wife informed her father,
who, by skill and activity, actually
found the tailor making tho wedding
suit, and obtained other information
leading him to tho conviction that tho
money borrowed was for the purpose
of paying for his wedding expenses
na a night to isaslivillc, lennessee.
Mr Doubleday, therefore, had White-
lead arrested for obtaining money
under false pretences, and also obtained
information ot his former marriage
with Miss Mnry Jane Tollman, of
Uuflnlo, by tho Hector of St. James
('hnrch there. On his complaint, in
dictments were found in June by the
Grand Jury, for both bigamy and ob-
aining money under false pretences.
Tho case coming np yesterday, Mr.
Jtonblcday procured the attendance
of tho first wifo from Buffalo, who
confronted the prisoner in court, much
to his surprise. Whitehead, seeing
that the "jig was up, plead guilty to
tho indictment of bigamy. When
conducted before the bar of the court,
tho two young wives were provided
witb teats near him, while in the rear
among tho spectators, were two sweet
hearts, who had been expecting mar
nago. The rirosecuting personage,
the lather of the last wife, bonnd to
see the thing out, was near by, one
arm opon the bar ot tho court, and
watching tho proceedings with great
interest The prisoner stood uncoolly
before the court, hut had nothing to
say. Ho wns attired in a fashionable
black suit, with white ncck-tio and
immaculate linen. o was sentenced
to the Stnte l'rison for three yeurs
and then stated with tho air of an
old libertine, that he had a third wife
in Washington.
Tho first wife Las buried ono child,
born in wedlock with the prisoner,
and the second is soon to be confined.
One of the sweet-hearts, who still
clings to Albert, waited till all others
hud departed, to take a final interview
with him, on his way, handcuffed, to
jail. Tho other women wept "copi
ously in the court-room, and the
spectators looked on with interest.

The Cnntitr.as I'da, daughter of ths
l'lilafino (iodfrey, first gars her hand
lo t oiint l.bci-Moin, who died a year
allcr their mairisgo. Numerous ri
villa then disputed the hand of lha
young widow, who joined to the hap
piest gifts of nature iho brilliant ad
vantagesof wealth and station. From
tho numl er of her most Illustrious
suitors, i'da rhote the brother of tho
Dtiko of Bavaria. It was a proud
ulliunco but not a happy ono. Alter
passing the rest of her life in iho bit
terest domestic trials, the Countess
I da becamo a widow for tho second
and lust lime, ns the idcu ot another
marriage was extremely repugnant to
bur mind. Already bowed down by
the weight of age, the Cou litess thought
only of another und happier world;
devoted w holly to the practico ot sin
cere devotion, she was only anxious
lo secure the remise of her soul and
gain cternul happiness hereafter. To
obtain this object the nohlo lady con
ceived tho idea of enjoying a part of
her wealth in founding a monastery.
As sho hesitated whore to build it, sho
resolved to leuve the decision to the
will of Heaven, and, according to the
legend, tho following were tho means
sho adopted to learn tho divine pleas
ure : An ass was loaded wun a large
sack fillod with pieces of gold, to ths
amount which she intended to devote
to this pious purpose : "The convent
shall bo erected on tho spot where tho
gold first touches the ground, whether
the ass lies down, or gets rid ef bis
burden by throwing it off." Sueh was
the order given by the Countess Uda;
and immediately the nss, gaily capari
soned, was sent ou its mission, follow
cd by a chaplain and two grooms, who
watched its movements. On leuving
the castle, it struck across the valley,
and in two hours arrived at Kholbcrg.
There, being thirsty, il struck the
ground with its foot, and a spring of
water gushed forth, the ass drank and
went onwards. Having reached the
summit of the mountain, the animal
seemed to think il had carried its load,
far enough ; and by dint of kicking
and plunging, it broke the cords by
which it was attached, and the sack
thus violently thrown off, rolled from
tho top of the mountain into tho val
ley, where it burst. A liltlo chapel,
ornamented witb a commemorauvo
inscription, was erected on tbo spot
whero tho spring had pushed forth ;
and a monastery was built at the placo
whero the pieces of gold were scatter
ed upon the turf.
The Two Apprentices.
Two boys were apprenticed in a
carpenter's shop. One determined to
make himself a thorough workman ;
tho other "didn't care." One read
and studied, and got books that would
help him to understand the principles
of his trade. He spent his evenings
at homo reading. The other liked
fun best. He ollen went with the
other boys to have a "good game."
"Come," he often said to his shopmato,
"leave your old books; come with us.
What is tho use of all litis reading."
"If I waste these golden moments,"
answered the boy, "I shall lose what
I shall never make up."
While tho boys were slill apprentices
an oflerof two thousand dollars appear
ed in the newspapers for the best plan
for a Stale foil so to be built in one of
the Knstern States. The studious boy
saw the advertisement, and datermined
to try for it. After a careful stndy be
drew out his plans, and sent thera. to
the committee. Vt o suppose lie did
not really expect to gain the prize,
hut still he thought, "thero is nothing
iko trying.
In about a week afterwards, a gen
tleman arrived at the carpenter's shop,
and inquired if an architect by the
name of Washington Wilberlbrce lived
there.
"No," said the carpenter, "no archi
tect ; but I ve got an apprentice by
that name.
"Let's see him," said the gentleman.
The young man was summoned, and
informed that his plan was accepted,
and that the two thousand dollars were
his. Tho gentleman then said that
tho boy must put up tho building;
and bis employer was so proud of nis
success thai he willingly gave him bis
time and let him go.
The studious young carpenter bo
came ono of the first architects in the
country. Ho niado a fortune, and
stands high in tho estimation of
everybody; while bis follow appren
tice can hardly earn food for himself
and family by his daily labor.

Children might as woll be trusted

power, they are apt to whip out their
pistols upon the least provocation and.

self-restraint. Il might have been ex
pected that the negroes would thuejict
out of their unsubdued natural impul
ses, and we hlame those Southern Gov
ernors and Legislatures and their
fanatical allies in the north, for put
ting such dangerous weapons in the
