Ot Crntre Iftnwvnt BELLEFONTE, PA Peck's Bnd Boy. "Say, roister," ?*iJ t l>o Bail boy to the grocery inau. as he came in bury ing his face in a California pear, "it is mighty kind of you to give away such nice pears as these." "What's that," said the grocery man turning pale ami starting lor the door, where lie found a wooilsawycr taking a pear. "Uet away from there," and ho drove the woodeawyer away and caroe in with a sign in liis hauii, on which was printed, "Take one." "I painted that -ign and put it on a pile of chromes of a new clothes wringer, for people to take one, and bv gum, the wind lots blowed that sign over on the basket nt pears and I suppose every darn fo<d that luis pafseil this morning lots lakui a pear, and there goes the profits on the whole day's business. Say. you didn't change that ign. did yu ?" "No, sir-ree," sai>l the hoy, ' I havi quit ull kinds ol toolishuess, ami wouldn't play a joke on u graven image. lint I went to the Sullivan boxing luateli ull the same though. "O," say." said the grocery roan, "there is a rumor that your minister is a reformed priz • tighter, and nn ohl maid that was in In-re yesterday sat he has been lighting with your pa. Du you know anything about it'.'' "Know anyiliiug ah tit it ? I know all about it. it was me that brought about the meeting between them. You nee, me and my chum have a set of boxing gloves, and we go down in the laundry in the ha-o neiii and box with each other evenings. List night the minister called to ta'k with pa, ami they heard u dowu stairs warming each other with the gloves, and pu sunt the tioys were having a little inno cent amusement with boxing gloves, and he asked the minister if lie thought there wus any harm in it, and the minister said he didn't think there was. He said that when he was in college the students used to box in the gym nasium every day and lie enjoyed it very much and got so he didn't taken back seat for any of them. Pa asked the minister it he wouldn't like to go down cellar and see the boys box. ami he said he didn't mind. Me and mv chum boxed a couple of rounds, ami the minister told us where we made several mistakes, and then pa got ex cited and wanted the minister to put on the gloves with him, tiie minister took ofl his coat, let his suspenders hang down, rolled up his sleeve* and they put on the gloves. Pa pranced around, and the minister k*-pt his face guarded, cause he didn't want to have i> preach with a black eye, but pretty soon pa made a pass at the preacher and took 'biff" right on the nose, but he rallied ami landed one <>u pa's stomach, which nrade pa grunt. The blow on the uose made the minister perspire and he danced around pa uutii he got a good chance and then he landed one on pa's eve, and the other under pa - ear, und pa gave him one on the eye,and they clinched,and the minister got pa's bend under his arm and w as giving it to pa real hard, just a* nifi and three of the *i-ter* of the church came down cellar to sec ma's canned fruit, and the minister got pa's legs tangled and threw him against ma aud they both went into a basket ot wet clothes, and ma yelled 4 mil ice,' and the minister turned sud denly ami one glove hit a deacon's wife on the bangs and knocked the hair ciT, and the minister was excited and said 'whoop ! I'm a bad man.' Ma picked pa out of the clothes basket, and held his head, and wiped his bloody nose on a pillow case, urol pa was. mad at the minister for striking so hard, and the minister said he wouldn't have struck hard only pa pasted him on the m-e, and the women all snid it was a perfect shame to see a minister descend to In-come a -lugger, and 1 gufs they are going to bring the minister up la-fore the committee and bounce him. Say. do you think it is right for a minister to hide his talents und r a bushel, or should lie put on the gloves when members of his church want him to?" "By gum, I don't know," said the grocery man. "Hut if I was a minis ter and could box, and anybody went to putting en any tcoiiu|>* over me, I would kinVk his two eyes into one. I have seen some inini.t.i* go around in a meek and lowly manner, taking slack from every deacon in the church. Hut it is fashionable tor ministers to seetn to las dependent sort of people, and I suppose it always will be so." "Well, I must go and get a couple of oyster* to put on pa's eyes to take out the black," and the hoy went out and put the sign "take one" on a pile of dressed chickens.—l'eel'n Ait a. ■• ■ - Wftuhinßton'a Lovo Affair. Warlike* entimmts on certain sub jects lingered in the heart of Wah nigton on that jieaeful morning 100 years ago when he resumed p<i*e-ion of this city. As he crossed Spuytcn Duyvil Creek and made his way upon the island the night before he received a message to tarry, as .Sir Guy Cale t-in was not y-l embarked. So he directed hi* steps to a great imposing wooden house ou Washington Heights, still standing and known as the.jumel place. This house twenty-seven years before bid bieu bis Mecca. H-re he courted the beautiful and wealthy Mary, I'hillipse; here for weeks he litigerd in the light of her blue eyes; here he left her at her father's till he could hurry off and capture Fort Du quesne and come back and here nttlint tatnl interval came Captain Morris and captured Marry I'hillipse and before Washington's return. It was nn awful lesson to the father of his country and he solemnly resolved never to lie caught out again in mat ters of that kind. It was the second blow; first the lowland beauty, Mi** (•rimes' afterwards mother of the Lee family, and then the faithless Mary. He had somewhat recovered from tin jilt on this peacful morning i speak of, for the Morris family had largely multipled by this time ; but the spot was still sure. Tradition has it that lie went over and sat again in the I'hil lipse parlor and meditated. Where is your master ? he inquired if a darkey on the porch, concerning tiis former rival. "He goncd wid tlie British, salt, weu de wait fust liruk out," said the humble servitor, " an' missus she i crust do ribber und is very purely, sab and niali-a tie was shot weu lit was •ski-n' Fort Mul'lelreo down in Car liny, fo' years ago." fin- visitor knew that well enough, but he was fond of hearing it over again. "And, malisa, dey du sah dat all lis great fine estate heuli is glibit- to be comfiseated by the ilevlisli rebles. j I fit can't be, sab." "Wellington evaded the questson. But a year later the great fine estate i was confiscated and sold to Jutnel by the government and Washington dot ; not seem to have interposed to save it for Mary and the babies. fie might to have been greatful to her lor teaching him such a noble U--01-, for lie learned it so well that I when Martha ( urtis dawned on hint I liejiist -at down by her and didn't let I t her get away from him.
