One evening, about a year ago, I was standing on the corner of Oth aveituo and 30th street. It was about 11 o'clock,and a. beavy mist was falling, though the night was warm, J wus about to take a clown car, when I was accosted by a tall, broad-shouldered, linc-Iooklng roan, who called me by name, but whoso identity I could not fix In my mind, tbough I knew I had seen iim before, "I'utsey, old boy, how arc you?" said he, grasping and heartily sha.kins my hand, "I'm glad to sea you, Put, real ly. Come, tuito a walk with mer up town. The night Isn't particularly in' vltlng, old boy, nor Is It terribly severe. Come!" Why I should take a walk with a man whom I couldn't "place," at that hour, mid on such a night, I didn't ask myself and can't answer even now. Perhaps it was the man's manner of speech, earnest and peremptory, his command ing rather than soliciting tones, that caused me to think Ue had some kinff of an affair on hand which ho did not wish to "give away," and that a companion would bo desirable. Something in ruienceu me at any rate; for, with a "Come on!" toWm, and without usk Ing his name or anything concerning him, hoping to ''plsco" lain by my own efforts at retrospection, I turned and started off with him up the avenue men tioned. His pace, though not a hurried one, was as earnest as his speech. Ho put his feet down as if lie had something to walk for, and ho talked commonplaces in a crisp and solid tone, eo to speak. In short, thero was nothing of tho idler In his walk, and nothing of the sleepy head in Ms talk, 1 walked along beside Ulm, wondering as I walked, what was up, of course, Imagining all sorts of things. We walknd till wo reached Central Park, having "dropped in" onco on tho way, at his invitation, to partake of the in cvitablo "lnvlgorator," when I scanned my midnight companion closely not for a mental Inventory of his apparel, but to "take in the situation" in respect to his sobriety. If I was any judge and I thought I was ho was a "straight as a ttring," its free from tho influence pf liquor BS a lamp-post, and standing as firm, while his eyes shone with a light as clear and bright as health and vivacity could Im part, I have thought of that light since I should have more closely observed It then It was a glare. We entered the park. I was uow an tnvoluntury, I may say, a mechanical accompaniment, and nothing more ho walking and talking as usual, putting bis foot down as firmly nnd speaking as earnestly, though dwelling not for a mo. jnent on any one topic, broaching and disposing of one In less than that time, and taking up another. Sly curioslt v In rrtrard to my comnan. lon'and Ids "mission" was now only ex ceeded by my desiro to bo "in at the death," as It were to "see the thing out," "Who tho deuce Is this man?" For the life of mo I couldn't ''place" him, though I had worked the "retrospect" to thu best of my ability, "What U his lay?" "How will It end?" "Ho Isu't drunk." "He Isn't a lunatic," "It's mlg'aty queer, anyhow," Such were a f jw of the questions and remarks mutu ally asked and made by myself as I was drawn along beside this unknown I0UG if JACOBS Q I ' INDEPENDENT-'1 LEHIGHTON, CAIIBON COUNTY, "drawn," that's what it was, for I was Impelled by some strange Influence to keep alongside my companion, whether I would gr not. Infact, It didn't occur to me ntjt to proceed further with him, In such cases, I fancy, It never docs oc- our to any one to attempt to break the spell upon him tho "spell operate to the contrary, 1 sujpose. Well, on wo went through the mist and darkness apaquencss, let me say, for, though "lost to sight," thero was a moon above ui, according to the alman ac, and it was not dark, a dull gray, ghostly sort of light pervadinguntil "the lake was reached, when ray com. panlon Incontinently seated himself, pulling me down beside a physical cf fort on his part, and not one of attrac. Hon, magnetic or otherwise. No sooner were wo seated than he spoke of the gray mist, as if for tho first time noticing It, and went on to remark upon mists In general, If not this one In particular. Ho discussed mists for two tnlnutos, porhaps, when ho dropped tho subject ns one well, too moist, perhaps, or maybe too ''dry." At all events, ho dismissed the mist without ceremony, and, for the first time since wo set out on our walk, spoke not for the sprtco of forty seconds. Suddenly he broke the sllonce with a remark that came from his Hps as sud denly as the flash and report of a gun, and, If not so sounding as the report, quito as startling to me. "Patsoyl" (I never shall forget how "short, sharp and decisive" was the pronunciation of my christian name) "are you fond of sensations? I tell you we'll create one in tho morning, you bet I When they find us both laid out here, dead as herring;, in the morning, I rather think there will he something of a sensation eh?" Ho paused then, and It dawned upon me that my companion was a lunatic. And when, the next moment, I saw in his right hand a good-sized revolver none of your little vest-pooket affairs the broad sunlight of conviction, so to speak, forced itself upon me that my position was a ticklish, If not a perilous one. A cold sweat started out all over me tho condition which conduced to that sweat saved ray life, perhaps; for the opposite, which would have prompted mo to spring to my feet nnd fly, would very likely have precipitated matters to a serious if not fatal conclusion. My hair stood up, I am certain, and my tongue cleaved to tho roof of my mouth as If glued there, while my heart beat a tattoo on my ribs. I suppose you think I was frightened. Well, you have been mistaken beforo now, without doubt; and you might be now but you are not, I was frightened, and don't, you forget itl Out there in the dark at midnight, in a cold, gray, ghostly mist that looted like the shroud of all things earthly, Mated beildo a powerful fellow who coolly suggested a "sensation" of a ittartlingand tragical nature, strengthen ing his suggestion by the production of a murderous-looking revolver! yes, I was frightened, and don't care who knows it! "I shah shoot you first, Patscyl" was tho next remark of my friend (?), anil how crisp nnd firm the utterance! "Then I shall shoot myself J Tho sensa. tlon In the morning will be tremendous, my boy I" Ills right hand moved my eyes were glued upon iu-and something I had to do, or something ho would dp, roost ccr, talnly, and cause a "sensation In the morning," Ilctrleving my tongue (minus the skin, I ant certain) from the roof of my mouth, I managed to moist en it bufflelently to speak In a husky voice; "Cully, don't thoot, as that will bring the park police upon us, who will carry us to tho station house, and. spoil the morning sensation. See It?" "Sound as a nut," said my friend im mediately, and, putting away his re volver, brought out a large knife, which he opened, showing a wloked-looklng blade six Inches In length. Tho thought that I was about to be hacked to pieces caused a sickening chill to run through mc, I would have pre ferred being shot, "This will do better, Patsey. It is silent and sure. I will stab you to the heart, or cut your throat, just as you prefer," be said, in a tone that was blood-frcezlng from Its diabolical earn estness and calmness. "That Is better than tho pistol, my friend," said I, "but I hato blood, I propose something better than cither; let us both drop ourselves in the lake here. There'll be a sensation, sure, when they fish us out, What do you say?" I got to my feet without being bind' ered, my sensational friend rising also. "A good idea, Patsey," said he, at once. "It Is better than the knife or pistol. Can yon swim?" "Xot ft strpkc," said I. It was a He; but, under the circum stances, excusable, I think. "Hal ha 1 good I Nor I, Patsey never could get tbe first stroke. We'll walk In hand Jn band give mo your hand, Patsey." "I'll do It," said I, quickly "that just suits me exactly, Dnt, now the thing Is settled, let's go and have one good square drink, cully a parting drluk to all tho world and the rest of mankind and then we'll come back and walk in here, and sink out of sight and trouble together, I'm willing and anxious" the mental reservation was "to get that drink and get away from you." He met roe like a trump card, "I'll do It, Patsey come on, A part Ing drink to all the world, and then we'll go to sleep In thesi quiet waters," "Not if I know myself!" I mentally exclaimed, and started away, my sensa Live and tot Livo," PA SATURDAY, tional friend grasping my elbpw and no companylns mc-hls grip was a tight one, too. "Vou must not docclvo mo, PAtaoyV' said ho tho moment wo moved away. "If you do, I have the knlfo and pistol. You nnd I are booked for tho Unknown, and the boat leaves shortly," "Deceive you, my dear fellow?" said I, as If deeply wounded In feeling, though struck by a "happy thought," as I felt "never fear. Why, when you balled me I was thinking of getting out of this Into the other world, and I was going down to the river to jump In. I didn't think of this lakeit is much more genteel, Now, lot that sqttlo It, my dear fellow," It did, Ho expressed himself satis fied, and gavo vent to nothing more that Implied doubt on his part. I set out to reach the "Mount St. Vincent," but missed tho way in the thick gray mist, and fetched up on CtU avenue a,t 110th street, I knew of a placo somo ten blocks up there. If I could only reach It, I felt certain I could cliulo my cpm panlon; and I walkod for It as Weston for tho belt, I reached it, and In loss than five minutes iny sensational friend who had known mo fgr an hour or so (ho must havo known me formerly) know me no more that night, nor has he known mo since. I suppose tho fellow had tho "Jam?:" and whllo I don't wish to havo to do with any more such, late at night In tho Park, yet I can't help thinking how more tractable ho was, though with brain adrift, than a "muasy lush" would have been.

ATtte York Clipper, OUR OPPOSITE SEIGHBOR. For three or four weeks my maid Felice and myself havo been watching the movements of the family who have recently taken the handsome brick houso opposite, We saw the arrival, the mov ing of the furniture, and all the appoint ments and appondages. They wet a unexceptionable. For myself, I havo only to say that I am a single lady of handsome property, and of considerable personal attractions, and of an ago which I do not care to have Rtateij in the census reports. Well, as I said, our curiosity lias been very much oxcited by tho strange de monstrations at tho opposite boijsb. For some time wo could not ascertain the name; but, at length, a beautiful silver plate was placed on the door, and Felice, pretending to be frightened at a dog as she was passing the house, tan up the steps, and found it was St. Leon. The handsome gentleman who goes away every morning is, of course, Sir. Bt, Leon, no is very graceful and dignified. Sirs. St. Leon, too, is very beautiful, and there Is a young lady there with long curls, whom we take to bo her sister; nnd thero is a very lovely child, who comes toddling to the door every time tho father goes out and kisses her little fat hand to him ns he goes down the steps. As we cannot ascer tain the young lady's name, Felice and I have concluded to call her Fannie for the present, There has been a very young gentleman walking up and down the street every day since tho removal. He come up on our bide and down on the St, Leon fide; looking melancholy and Interesting. vo fancy him to be a lover of Fannie. This Impression ig strengthened by seclnj her dart suddenly to tho window one day after bo had passed and strain her eyes In "tho direc tion In which he vanished, Within a short time we havo seen a carriage driven to tbe door, almost immediately on tho departure of Sir. St, Leon,and an aged gentleman, closely wrappod up, has been assisted up the long stopB, The driver then goes off, but punctually comes Uaok before Sir, St. Leon's hour for returning, Mrs, St, Leon always comes to the door, and her faca bears tho marks of excessive weeping. I'cllce, with her usual apti tude, has given this old gentleman the name of Summer, and to the palo youth who walks so languishlngly she Ttas given the name of Spring. For a long time we were unable to connect Mr. Summer with the family, but finally concluded that be must be Mrs. Leon's father, and that tbe match not suiting htm he only cornea at such times as he knows her husband Is absent. Monday, Feb. 2. Mr. St. Leon has just gone from dinner. Mrs. S. Leon is. looking anxloisiy from tho window. Fannie and the child accompanied Mr. 6t. Leon to the door, where Felice thinks, ho pressed her hand rather warmly for a wife's sister to permit. Certainly bo Is fond of her, Tuesday. Yesterday I gars Felice my brown t.itln. To-day she made a discovery, Mr. Spring; as she calls the pale young man, rang at tho door opposite and was admitted by tbe ser vant, Felice is certain that Mrs, St, Leon was In tho parlor when ho went in,and that she rose and threw her arms about his neck and kissed him. Fellca was In the postofflae trvday when tba servant carried In a letter to go by mall. She pretended to be looking at an adver tlscmcnt over the letter-box but In reality she was reading the address. It was written in a very fine hand and directed to St. Leon Ivlnniard, London, Who can that be? Evening. The curtains are up In the opposite parlor, Fanny sits there with Sirs. St, Leon's baby on her lap. Mr. St. Leon U Just going up the steps. Good heavens! He Is In the parlor and positively kissing Fnnnlel I bliishwhilo Iwrltoit.

If wawyuiiaaiaMCfic Monday.-! am about, tlrod cf con. Jocturing what tho family can mean by ineirsiramjo acu extraordinary conuuet, Nothing but the moat reckless disregard cf tfce proprieties of life can account for it In the least, This morning- ,n lady closely veiled entered the house, and we saw her go intu the parlor, where she fell iutp Mr, St, Leon's arms. His wife, going in at that moment, she deceitfully turned to- her in the same way, but evidently with less oprdlallty, What can one .think of them? Wednesday. I ftnd, by Fcllco, who has been over to call on tho servant, that wo havo gono all wrong in our conjec tures. The very pretty little romauce which Felice nnd I have been three weeks weaving has turned into a very ordinary, evcry-day aHalr. Fcllco thinks that the girl put on Q grea; d;sl of mock dignity when tho told her how she had. mistaken the character of the family. It seems that 'Tannic." Is, after-all, tho truo Mrs. St, Lcoq, nnd the child U hers, top Tho lady whom wo callod -Mrs. St. Leon is sister to the husband, not to the wife; and the old gentleman IS Mr, St. Leon's father, instead of Iter's. "Mr, Spring," so Felice says, Is a brother pf tho ladles, and ho is extremely dissipated. Tho husband will not receive him at his house, but Mrs, St. Leon dlspbcys his oxprcBs commands hi this respect, and often sees hpr brother, In this she is advised and upheld by her husband's father, who believes that ho will be fin ally reformed by kindness, The old gentleman's afternoon visits are with special reference to "Mr. Spring.'' Finally, the lady who entered the house on Monday was Mr, S, Lcort's Qwn slstor. So ends our romance, and I am so angry at finding everything ro natural that I have refused to give Felice the mulberry cloak which she has been teas ing mo for so long. Heigh ho! I will never undeitake to guess hlstorlos through the windows again, My "oc cupation's gone I" THE TRUE FBIEND. A certain merchant had tltrco sons. When the youngest camo of ago ho callod them together, and said to them in a voice made husky with emotion "Nbw, boys, you all go out Into the world and acquire a knowledge pf hut man nature. At tho end pf the year you will return, and tho one who has aequlrcdthe best friend will receive this magnificent diamond ring." The young men having taken the ring to a jqwclcr and satisfied themselves that It was not a California diamond, accept ed the situation and started out, At the end of tho year they returned, lookt Ing somewhat the worse for wear, Tho old man Immediately Issued his call for a mass meeting, and they gathered around him. He called for the reports from the various committees. Tho first one lifted up his voice apd said: "I had'an affair of honor, I got into a quarrel and a challenge passed, We were to fight at ten steps. My friend came forward and took my place. He was badly wounded, bnt I believe ho saved my life. I claim the ring for hav ing acquired the most self-sacri Iking friend." No. 2 then took the floor and addressed the chair: "I was on board of a ship, We had a collision. I found myself in the water. My friend was near me on a hen-coop. When be saw me he swam off and let mo havo the hen-coop. Wo were both picked up afterwards, but he undoubt edly saved my life, I think my friend was the boss," "What sort of a friend bavc you got to show up on?" asked the father of the third son, "I was In a tight place," ho respond ed. "I had ben fooling with the tiger, and had lost oil my money. My friend camo forward and advanced mo f.50Q, and refused to take my noto for the amount." "To you belongs tho ring," said the merchant, "Youroldcr brother's friend was simply a better shot. In tho case of the other brother, bis friend was simply a better swimmer, They took risks, I admit; but your friend lias sus tained an actual, bona fide loss, for he will never get his money back, You gained tho best friend, for lie has made a:tual sacrifices. Here Is the priceless gem of tho Orient." NEVEE BE IS A HURRY. You should never allow yourself to be hurried. There Is doubtless time enough remaining tp the world for all you will ever accomplish in It. A professional horse trader once saddled a worthless o'ld brato off upon a victim by assuring him that It was very fast and could make a mile In 2:30, Tbe most spec the owner could ever get put of M acquisition was a qtllo in three minutes, so he camo back to have it with the trickster.
