TERESINA'S ,PRIZE.
Now
g it happened' that adjoining
the Villa Santangelo 'Was an unten
anted house, placed under the care of
a gardener,.natned Baldelli, who oc
cupied a small house close to the wa
ter's edge, which served for bathing
apartments when the main building
was tenanted. With old Baldelli
lived his niece Teresina. an excep
tiOnally beautiful girl of fifteen; who
had rather a 'hard time of it to make
things'comfoilable for her surly and
avaricious uncle, to whom the expen
diture of every sold() :for houseitold
necessities was an agony.' Teresina
was a great favorite at the villa,
where she was often required to as
sist the ladies with her needle ; and
there sOme of her happiest days were
spent, much indeed to her own ad
vantage ; for, takin ,, b an interest in.
her, they had taught her habits and
nodes of life which raised her eon-,
ide rably above her countrywomen
of the sanie class. * .Deprived early
-- or her parents, she mixed little in the
society of her own class; for Baldelli
was strongly averse to anything in
the nature of Outings or junketings,
as involving,ekpense, add his misery

Teresina had been . for some time

the displeasure of old bitldelli t who

a notion to settle - down into a less
precarious mode of life, had thought
that Teresina might prove a .useful
appendage, • and; perhaps, by her
cleVerness and • industry,, supply hiM
with means for his • own pecuniary
pleasures,'
Affairaithus stood when a stroke
'of' fortune, which': befell • Teresina,
gave rise - to the trouble of which this
story tells. Like many wiser and
better people herself, she occasionally
dreamed dreams, and often threw
away her small savings in the public
lotteries upon some 'lucky
which was to make her fortune: One
day, however, she -found herself to
he the one in a thousand on whom
Fortune smiles. She was the winner
..of five Hundred pounds. It is need
les to .say with what 'alacrity she
presented herself at the ban co di lotto,
and her disappointment on finding it
was impossible to pay the money

Pausilipo, no longer . thinking 6f the
joyful : surprise she had.-in siore for
her dailing Frank, when she should
place. the money in his hands; and
_tell him to, take her. with it; but with
a presentiment of some misfortune
that must arise from her uncle's
greed or her cousin's envy. But she
had been taught a courage and iiide
pendenee from her association with
the English, which determined her
to make a stand for. her fights.

Baldelli sat for a long time,_neier
moving but to make a gesture of an

he went to a cupboard, took froMit
a bottle of: wine that had lain there
many a -month, and drank it at a

for, he rarely took stimulants—he,
Paced the chamber to and: fro, excit

It was late when Teresiim returned,
and it was with surprise she found

'You have said nothing at the villa

• 'Nothing, my" father.' r -

a sneer in
.the-old man's tones, and a
dark look in his eyes, that belied the
softness of his speech. ° . •
'No, no,' replied his niece, 'never
that, I hope. But you will go about
this for me to•morrow, will you not,
uncle?'
'Yes, I will see to it. And now we
will rake a cup of wine in honor of

poured out. •
'Ah, t,!iis is very kind of you, my

- Frank Lloyd, was sitting in a .boat
waiting for his employer at the steps
of the Vlla, Santangelo. He was
surprised to, see a 'mg, burning: in
the gardener's house at so late an
hour; but he knew that Teresina
often sat up late after her uncle had
retired ; indeed, he had had many a
sweet stolen interview with her at
:the window, when waiting as he wait
ed_nbw.: - At this. moment he heard
the voice of. Lord Ardfey, joining in
a duet with his fiancee•at the villa.
'He wont come away just yet,' said
the sailor to himself; so, taking ty
clean, ump over
,a strip of water that.
Separated the two : - basements,. he;
clambered up tO• the gardener's win

the window-sill, and was :drawina•
hittiself up, and. about to give the
usual signal, when, to his intense
astonishment, he, saw old Baldelli
staggering from the opposite room,
half dragging, half carrying his niece.
What could it mean ? Was Phe ill

Was it fresh air she required ? Ile
had not 'much time for thought, fot

from their hold, and ,he had only

look upon his handiwork, closed the
window abruptly and disappeared.
It was the work Of a moment for the
'young sailor to reach the body of his
sweetheart, and to place her in his
boat "under cover of a sail. But what.,
was , he now to do with his preeious
burden, which lay, safe but still un
conscious, near him? fie might in
deed place het under the care. of, the
lsdies at the villas; but then he fear
ed the chatter Of servants ; nor did he
know what power her uncle might
have to - claim her from them, for

i still'in doubt hewas joined by Lord
Ardley, to whom he related his ad

the agitated voice of the poor lad,
and, makings, shrewd guess at their

'And you're Ointotrittery her ?',
'Now more than ei•tr, sir. Ah, my

sharply. -.'Am Ito wait much longer ?'

And then the gardener left the
office.
The clerk had seen . a good number
of strange things in his time, and
was given to the observation of , the.
Countenances and emotions of .his
fellow-men ; so he wrote a note to
the chief office, - where in due time
Baldelli presented .hinsself. And the
official at this place was altogether
polite and amiable,. and much regret
ted that it was against the . rules to .
comply with Baldelli's request ; but
if the signorina was unable to attend,
but still anxious for the settlement
of her claim, why, he would accom
pany' the. gardener himself to the
house for the. purpose. To which the
gardener objected strongly, and re-
tired with a face so worn and anxious
an& frightened, that this ami4ble . of- .
of
ficial thought it as well to send a
detective officer to look after the old
•
man, and, , if possible, to get to the
bottom of• the mystery—for queer
things often happen with these lot
teries. . ,
The result was that nobody had
seen-or heard anything of Teresina,
and old.,Baldella was unable to. ac
count. for her disappearance, and
maintained a dogged silence on the
subjec't, for the disappointment to
his".hopes 'and the consciousness of
'guilt had completely unnerved him.
All the:scircomstances•were so suspi-
cious that the police felt, justified in
connecting him with her disappear‘
ante and 'aecordinglylie was brought
before the head of the police to an
swer for himself.
In . the meantime Teresina, having
recovered consciousness, was gradu
ally brought to by the as,sistance
the stewardess., On being questioned
by Lord Ardley, she gave a truthful
account of the events of the jLrevious
night, but said that, froth the time
she retifed to her roolu, he mind
was a complete blank. She related
with some blushing and hesitation
her conversation with her uncle about .
the lottery-ticket, not forgetting his
unaccustomed liberality in givinef
her wine to drink to her good luck.
Pretty clear, my lord, I think—
drugged," said Lloyd. -
'Very -111,;ely. Horrid old villain !
But what's to be clone now?'
With your permission, sir, I will
go into Nnples and see What is goitre
on.' . .
'By all means, Lloyd. And look
here, I am going to be married in a
few days . , rind if Teresina doesn't
wish to return to this pleasant home
of hers, I've no doubt she will r make,
an excellent attendant on . Lady . Ard
ley in our coming er ; 'uise about the
Greek islands.' •
• 'Many, many thanks, My lord.'
On going ashore,. Lloyd,..learried
that old .13ablelli had been interro
gated, with . the result that he now
suggested the-possibility of her haw
ing..lrawned herself; that she occa
sionally walked her sleep; that he had found her door and !he, window
opened on :the morrow of lter disap,
pearance.. This was contraryo*
statement at the otlice, nor could the
body be found in the tidelesS water.
He refused to say anything farther,
and was sent to jail to await his trial
on suspicion.
Lloyd readily obtained p,ermisOon
to see him.
• The old man, filled with rage and
remorse, cried ,to him to
,'Begone

changed. 'Then *why, am I here ?
Curse their meddling! Who says I

!Gently, gently, old man. There is
such a thing as attempt to murder,

'Enough. You are no fool, though.

The piligrainine was carried out in
its entirety. Ealdelli was released
on the appearance of Teresina, who,
alive to some rascality on the part of
her uncle, Was . satisfied to' receive
from him a scowling assent to her
marriage with Frank Lloyd. .

But the key didn't quite turn, and
Mr. Spoopendyke - hit the hasp with
the side of his fist and tried it again.
" Don't it work r , asked Mrs.
Spoopendyke, watching the proceed

It'll. work. if'yOu'll let it alone,"
said Mr. Spoopendyke severely, and
he raised the lid,. dropped it again,
pounded the hasp and wrenched at
the key with all his strength. "Stand
back and give me room, can't you ?"
he gro*led, as he pressed .down on
the cover and gave the key quick
twists in a vain effort, to catch the
lock unawares. , •
" Why don't you rest your weight
on it and let me lock it ?" asked Mrs.
Spoopendyke, fluttering 'around her
husband and wondering if he was
thoroughly aware that : his plug hat
was immediately under the lid.
" Have you' got the time to
keep away-from this thing and let

Spoopendyke, contemplating his wife
with:a Spartan expression of visage.
"'Spore I can do anything with You

banged away at the hasp and breath

Mr. Spoopendyke fumbled around

fruitlessly.

Hid Idea of Exercise.
A Saratoga correspondent writes:
" I was talking recently with a New
York millionaire. He was telling
me he had come for the season. He
had been here -one single week and
was already talking of going hack t(

point .ottt to him the benefit his health
would derive from a - long sojourn ,
here.froni,the pure airof Saratoga,
from his morning walks through the
woods, his afternooa drivc to the

4, to leave the house on time and
return against time, to g0.,0n a score
errands during the day—that is
hat I call exercise. In New York,
everything I do has -an object, even
my recreations have one ; but to walk
for the sake of walking, to stroll till
day long in a park, on a piazza or a
lawn, without any business to attend
toi without any distraction', that is
no life. An idea 'r that makes the
blood flow rapidly through the veins
is a more wholesome exercisei than a
long walk without an_ object and
concern. The man who, having
anxiously expected a message, walks
ten steps in his office to go and meet
the
_messenger, takes mote exercise
than the other who ' hal3listlessly
walked ten miles on a country road
for the simple purpose of gaining
appetite."
There was a railroad excursion
from Jackson County yesterday, and
among the crowd was a man who
called at the office of the Chief of
Police to make a statement When
the chief was ready to hear the de
tails the man began:
"I was just coming out of the de
pot when I imet . a fellow with a
squint to his dye. Got that down ?"

• "Well, he held out his hand, and
said 'how. do you do, Judge Perkins,?
I kinder held out my hand and said
I.was purty well, thank you. I'm-no

a little. Got that down ?"-
Yes"
Well, we shook hands 'and walk

I ever absorbed. • I said I did, 'and
we went over to a saloon and sur
rounded some beer. Are you follow

"Yes.". ..

Well, the chap wanted to pay me

more at the depot tonight. Then
we absorbed some more."
"It's a counterfeit bill."
" You bet! and I'm a gone-up
Man! Farewell, old Jackson Coun
ty!"
" What do. you mean ?"
"T mean that $7 of that $l4 was
to buy school books, and the other
$7 was to buy porns plasters and a
new dress for a school teacher there.

Do I return to face music? I do not.

n the armsof death? I do anddon't
you forget it. I wan't a chew of to
bacco, a few instructions as to the
best place to jump .and I'll. trouble
earth no more."
But he didn't jump. He( had
twenty-two cents and this sum was
enough to get drunk on. He was
picked off the walk in the night ,and
taken to the station, and when asked
his name he replied !-:;
"No use, ole filer=-.no use. If I
lent you two dozzera in Chieago in

-This magnificent work wasexecut
ed . with (aft-metal types on 537
leaves, some of the, copies on fine
paper and others on vellum, and is
sometimes known as the ," Mazarin
Bible," a copy having been nnpx
pectedly found in Cardinal MazariWs
library at Paris. It Is also caged
the "Forty-two-line Bible," - becad i se
each full column , Contains that nuip
her of lines, and, lastly, as Guten
berg's Bible, because. John ..Guten
berg was•associated with Faust -and
Seaffer in its issue. • It was - printed
in Latin, and the letters were such
an exact imitation of the' work of an
amanuensis' that the copies were
passed off 'by Faust, when be visaed
paris,as manuscript, the discovery
of the art of printing being kept . -a
profound secret. Faust sold a . c - opy
to the King of Franee for 700 crolins,
and another to the Archbishop -of
Paris for 400; although he appears
to have charged less 'noble custom
ers as.low - as 60 crowns The low
price and a uniformity of the letter
ing of these Bibles caused universal
astonishment. The - capital letters in
red ink were said to be printed with
his blood ; and as he could immedi
ately .prortuee new copies ad libitum,
-he was adjudged in league with . Sa
tan. Faust was. apprehended, and
was forced to reveal the newly dis
covered art of printing to save him
self from the flames. This is sup
posed to be the origin of the tradi
tion of the_ Devil and.Dr.Taustus,"
dramatized by Christopher Marlowe
and others. One of -the highest pri
ces—if not the highestrealized - by

Splendid Bible at the. sale of the
"-Perkins Library," at Hamworth
Park, or . 6th of June,lB73. A copy
On vellum was sold 'or .43,400; an
other on paper for £2,990. This
large price is rather surprising; for
there are about twenty copies in dif
ferent libraries, half of them, belong
big to private persons in Great Brit ,
ain. Betbre this sale the most ex
pensive book was Boccaccio's ".De-_
cameron," printed at . Venice in 1471,
which was bought at the Duke o(
Roxburghe's sale in 1811 by the!
Marquis of Blandford (Duke of Marl-

VALUE ,OF TRUTH.
WHEN APPLIED BEFORE • A BROOKLYN
roucE COURT:
lie thought himself a notorious
criminal.
And yet there was nothing in his
appearance to justify the supposition
that he had ever graced Sing Sing,
or been under the loving care bt.the
keeper or - the Pon. lie was a- fine
looking 'old man of weighty propor
tions, with blue eyes that twinkled
with merriment and shot out sunny
glances in all directions. His man-
ner was cordial and cheerful.
" Oh, yes ; I'm guilty, Judge," he
said, even before he had heard the
charge. "IL certainly was- very 'dis
graceful on my part. -I ought to be
severely punished." , -
"'Not quite so fast, if you please,"
said Judge Walsh, in a conciliatory
tone. "The charge—let me see—
MS
" Do your duty, Judge, do your
duty There was not .the slightest
excuse," and the.
,ptitioner shook his
head in a way that indicated that he
_would not have his own views an-
tagonized. - ,
•;Tbe complaint alleges intoxica

.the accused todiscover, if :
evidence of the spree . . And then
asked
" Your nutne, sir:?"
" Olivet Olieeseborough," was the'
reply. and he admits that he was
abominably drunk. At such an early
hour, too . and on a . public thorough
fare. Why," continued Mrl Cheese
borough, looking shamefully at' .the
floor, o• suppose some of the folks.
down at Babylon should Wave seen
Me?"
The 1:011rt„, con tem pl atedl the awful
results of -such a possibility and
queried :
•
" Then you . feel yourself guilty,
my 'friend ?": - •
-" Guilty, did your say?` ; I should
think I did. ,The idea of a man in
my position of..life Making a beastly
exhibition of himself ! A memberof
a chtkrch too ! COntemplate fot, a
moment, Judge, the demoializing
.effects of my example !" and Sir.
Cheeseborotigh tenderly caressed the
bare spot at the back of his head.
• The court sniffled the - odor of a
modest bouquet of• violets; as tto
prisoner continued :
I do not -ask for mercy, Judge.
When I think of. the figure I must
have cut trying to imitate. LaWrence
Bigrett, on the sidewalk, ny indig
nation at myself is simply intolera
ble. I feel so ashamed that C know
I won't have counge enough to face
the old lady Qn- my return."
" Mr. Cheeseborotigh;" said_ the
court, gravely, " therh are magis
trates in . this city other than thyself:
I will. venture to , say that, in the
course of their experience on the
bench they have seen, many men
charged with intoxication. In fact,
1 will go even , further, and say . that
they have seen the same men
and
with the. same- offence - over and over
again Without troubilog you with
statistics, my friend, permit me to
inform you that my experienc.e leads
me to believe that 'at least twenty
men - out of every hundred get drunk
'occasionally." • " -
• " Dees that remark : apply to Brook
lyn alone r•quickly asked the pris
oner.
"To Brooklyn in particular," was
the emphatic reply. •
'! Then," said . the prisoner, as he
looked gloomily oat of the window,
." I am glad•l do not live in Brook
lyn, although it. boasts so many
,churches. Thc offence is so grevious !
I presume the law provides for the
punishment of suck a beastly,critne?"
" Yes," said his .honor, " - the law
covers such cases-very nicely."
• " What is the fine and what is the
iniprisonmentl" asked the. -penitent
man as he produced a wad Of green
backs from his vest pockci . : - There
was $28.52.
"Here is all, f havO, Judge, and i
suppose it .won't go far toward the
payment of a , fine," and. he .handed
the Money over the desk. " And.
no*, for how long a period shall I
hate to go to jail ?"
" Put your money in. your pOcket,"
said the court,stroking its moustache,
and 'quietly added " Officer, - you
needn't assist him. He can do it
himself."
" The AiSual penalty," continued
his honor. : "is ten dollars' fine and
ten days' iinprisoninent."
Cheeseborough assumed .an
incredulous smile. He thought the
'court was trifling with him, and he
said : _
" Now I sincerely trust your honor
will not joke on so serious a subject !
It isunnatural to suppoSe than such
a. petty penalty will make amends
for the disgusting-exhibition of which
I was guilty last night. No, Judge,
I can hardy believe it."
" And, ometimes," added hii;
honor, with a
: gay- chuckle,
.as he
noticed with - pleasure the prisoner's
bewilderment; there is neither fine
or imprisonment. The culprit is al.
lowed to go scot: free 1"
" Ah ! but then the Judge neglects
his duty and sacrifices the very prin
ciples he is supposed to hold up,"
and Mr: Oheeseborciugh shot out his
fist and stamped his foot, as he waxed
eloupent °teethe matter.

joinder. "It depends it togethe r.

--
upon the character of the offender. '
It is a pleasure to liberate some men.
Take yourself as an instance." -
"Me," said .Mr. Cheeseborgugh,
as be glared at the court in marked
surprise, " Why, you could inflict.
scarcely any penalty which would 1 , 1,e
too severe fot my offense. If m,
boy got tight I would tan him within
an inch of his life," and here the
prisoner tapped the palm of his left
hand and screwed up the corner of
his right eye'.
"But it is not all men who regard
intoxication in the same light as
yourself. That is the trouble." And
then his honor continued :
IMIB
"Do - you know, Mr. Cheesebor
ought that it affords me infinite de
light to let you go ?"
" Where ?"_was the quick-inter
rogatory._ -
' To your home."
" No . imprisonment ?".
" No.":
"Not even a fine ?" -
" Not even a fine,":.blandly assent

Why,'? said Mr. Cheeseborough,
I'm mostremphatically mum."
," Will.yoU allow me the high priv

Mr. Cheeseborough was thunder

struck. -Op recovering from' the
shock he said : -
" I must say I atuvery'mucli sur
