Hill Stubbs.
Bill Stubbs had been reading 'Tho
Stary Flag,' and was seized with a great
Haulm tn Imltnln fl,a (torn nf fltof ftirll. !
ling tale.
Bill was not exactly tho boy you would
select as tho hero of a story. He wasn't
one of your bright eyed, curly-headed
boys, with a frank, manly face, Incap-
ablo of a mean action. Not Bill's hair
was of a fiery hue; ani his freckled
face, ornamented with a pug noso and
weak eyes, was not to Inspire you with
confidence in Its owner. And, as for
honesty, tho fishermen all swear that
there was no greater thief or rascal on
tho Capel
Bill didn't live with a miserly undo
who kept all his money from him, and
nearly starved him. Rill hadn't any
money. Ills father was dead, and 'tho
old woman,' as he Irreverently called
his mother, took in washing; and little
help she got from her l.opetul son. no
did't pass his time in fishing, and spend
tho money ho received In books! Bill
wasn't such a flat as that I Hu used to
play hopkey from school, and loaf a
round tho wharves to see tho fishing
boats como in; and if ho did get any
money, he spent it for cheap cigars,
BUI didn't seo why ho shouldn't res
cue somo rich man's daughter from a
watery grave, andbo well rewarded and
received Into his family as well as thoso
fellows in books!
111 used to loaf around tho docks
more than usual after this; and ono
morning his attention was arrested by
a piercing scream. Rushing to tho
spot. Bill saw that they came from the
daughter of Squire Wilson, who was
boarding at the 'big house' on tho hill.
net' golden head was Just visible as
sho tossed about outon the angry waves.
Bill saw that here was his clmnco, and
he struck out for the young lady. Her
screams wcro redoubled as she saw Bill
appioaching; but he valiantly grasped
her and dragged her ashore, where her
franatic father was waiting to lecclve
her.
Ilo dldn't'embraco Bill and call him
his dear son, and offer him a check for
a thousand dollars, or the beautiful
yacht on which Bill had long looked
with endearing'oyes, and sighed for Its
possession.
Not Ho hit BUI a clip over the head
that nearly stunned him, and asked
him, in a rough tone, what he meant by
attacking his daughter when sue was
bathing, and Insinuated that he had bet
ter leave before ho broke every bone In
his body. Bill didn't go homo that noon
with Joy depicted on his face, and an-
nounco to his delighted mother that
they wero raised from poverty to afflu
ence; but he slunk In by tho back way,
and was caught by tho old lady and
most awfully tanned for playing hook
ey and getting his clothes wet.
Bill vowed that'the boys who saved
rich girls In tho, story-books wero
frauds, and ho didn't believe, such
things ever happened. This ovidentl y
had a bad effect on Bill, for ho went to
tho bad; and, Instead of growing up an
honest man, and entering a business
house, and working his way up from
under clerk to partner, and marrying
tho old gentleman's daughter, and
living to an old age, beloved by all who
know him, he Joined a gang ot thieves,
and was caught cracking a bank, Ilo
now resides in an elegant stono build
ing, supported by the State. Ho em-
ploys his timo by breaking stone; and
often thinks what ho might have been
it he had novor read thoso pernicious
books.
A I'cna. Heiress Elopes with
a Negro.
Tho staid, quiet portion ot Bucks
county known as Warminster town
ship Is now greatly excited over a
.strange elopement. It seems that a
bout a year slnco a fancy colored man
named Joe Falmer came to Warminster
and engaged with Mr. John Thompson,
ono of the aristocratic, citizens, as a
nian-ot-all-work, ' While thus employ
ed It was noticed that he became quite
intimate with Miss Annlo Thompson,
tho beautiful, refined, and accomplished
daughter of his employer.
Shortly afterward Palmer was takeu
111, and Miss Thompson attended to htm
until the family prevented It oy having
him removed elsewhere. But It seems
that Miss Thompson's visits were clan,
drstlnely continued to him. After 'his
1 couvalescenco It Is reported that Palmer
said he would be oven with tho Thomp
sons forsendlng him away fiom Jir
residence during his illness.
Miss Thompson's father and mother
did all they could to prevent nny fur
ther intimacy between their daughter
and Palmer, and she seemlnglyconsent
cd completely to their wishes. But
neither they nor tho community wcro
prepared for tho denouement which has
taken place.
A day or two slnco Joo Palmer stated
to various persons that ho was going
West, and was noticed making exten
slve preparations. About tho same
1 1 mo Miss Thompson persuaded bor
mother to allow a visit to a neighboring
township to mako some purchases. She
went instead to tho railroad depot, and
boarding the Philadelphia train, met
Palmer at the next station.
As tho young lady did not return at
the timo she informed her mother she
would, a search was Instituted and the
trutli learned. Tho terribly distracted
parent at onco went to Philadelphia,
but although a most persistent search
was made, nothing of tho couple could
bo learned further than that Palmer was
seen In the neighborhood of tho hay
market, at Seventh and Columbia ave.,
the day subsequent to the elopement.
Miss Thompson Is a great helress,and
has always been held in tho highest es
teem by tho peoplo of Warminster. Her
parents arc heartbroken at her rash
act. Further endeavors havo bean
made for her recovery, but no traces of
the unfortunate girl havo been discover
ed, Tho detectives report that she Is
not In Philadelphia, and are now en
deavoring to ascertain whether sho is in
New York. Phlla. City Items.
Omens.
Thoso who do not believe In omens
will enjoy a laugh over tho following
story; and thoso who do had better
pass it by, ifjthey fear to havo their
faith disturbed:
An old gentleman In Weissport, whoso
stylo was a little dutchy, was asked
what ho thought of signs and omens?
"Veil, I don't dinks mooch of dem

Openlngtho Upper Ocluivaro
Jllford.Pa., Sept. 25. Several promt
nent capitalists and steamboat men
have made a survey ot tho Delaware
river channel between Belvldere, N. J.,
and the Delaware Wator Gap, Pa., dis
tance eighteen miles. They pronounce
tho route a feasible one, although It
will require a vast amount of money to
place the channel In a navigable con
dition, owing to tho rocks In the gap of
the mountain. The company will placo
a medium-sized boat upon this route,
work has already begun. It Is the In
tention ot the company to make a con
nectlon with tho Upper Delaware Com
pany at tho Gap, the tremlnus of the
latter routo.
The contemplated route from Port
Jervls to tho Gap, distance forty-one
miles, alluded to In a recent Issue of
Tho Sun, Is to bo begun Immediately.
Four prominent capitalists ot this place
recently made a survey of the channel
between Miltord and the Gap, and pro
nounco the proposed route a much more
feasible one thau they at first anticipa
ted. Peter A. L. Quick, tho foiemost
gentleman lu this new enterprise, says
that, by early spring, 1873, tbo Inhdbi
tauta'of tho upper Delaware valley may
expect to hear the whistle of a steamboat.
Success.
Somo pithy writer onco said, 'nothing
succeeds liko success.' He would have
mado a center ehot, had he said, noth
ing succeeds but success.
To begin at the beginning, you must
have an aim aud an object. When you
have defined the ono, and determined
tho way to reach the otlur, tho battlo Is
halt won.
Don't think because you havs a bril-
iant fancy that you have genius, or hav

Many observations havo been made
lately by our naturalists as to the de
fence which color supplies to animals' :
hares, rabbits, stags, and goats possess
the most favorable shade for concealing
them In the depths of the forest or In
the fields. ItJIs well-known that when
the Volunteer corps were enrolled, and
the most suitable color for riflemen was
discussed, it was'supposedto bo green.
Soldiers dressed In different shades
wero .placed In different; iwoods and
plains, to try which offered tho best
concealment. CoutraryJ to expecta

An able statistician has, with Infinite
labor, compiled a table whereby tho
changes and chances which may occur
In a game of poker, may be told at a
glance. For Instance 2,508,000 different
hands can bo dealt with a pack of cards:
1,303,510 will contain less than a pair,
and 1, 200.420 one nair or more. Thn
latter hands divided into 1,098,2-10 ot
ono pair, 34,013 of threes, ;i25,533 of
two pairs, 10,200 strelohts. 5.103 flush
es, 3,774 fulls, 024fours, andObtralght
flushes. With this table In ono hand
and your cards In the other It w'll tako
a very smart man to get the best of you
in a very little name of draw. If in the
course of 04,074 deals your adversary
holds two straight flushes, a look at tho
table will convlco you that some
thing is wrong, and If fours are played
on you more than onco in 4,163. In.
stead ot drawing your cards, "draw"
your revolver and "call"" for tho
police, and when they take him vou
take the pool.
