Tho Repentant Burglar. Tho world of fiction hardly contains a more thrilling chapter than an incident which marked the life of the late Rev. Mr. Leo, Presbyterian minister, of tho village of Worcester, New York. Mr. Lee was sitting in his study about miduight, preparing a discourse to deliv er to his congregation, when ho heard a noise behind him, and became conscious that some one was in the room. Mr. Lee exclaimed: "What is tho matter !" and turning around in his chair ho behold the grim face of a burglar, who was pointing a pistol at his breast. The ruflian had entered into tho houso by a sido window, supposing all tho occupants wero locked in slumber. "Give mo your watch and money," said he, " and make no noise, or I will firo." " You may put down your weapon, for I shall make no rcsistanco, and you are at liberty to take all tho valuables I pos sess, was Mr. Leo s calm reply. Ihe burglar withdrew his menacing pistol, and Mr. Leo said : " I will conduct you to tho place where my most precious treasures are placed. lie opened the door and pointed to the cot whero his two children lay slumbcr intr iu tho sweet sleep of innocence and peace. " These," said he, " are my choicest jewels. Will you take them?" Ho proceeded to say that as a minister ot the Uospol ho had lew earthly posses sions, and that all his moans wero ucvo- ted to but one object tho education of the two motherless childrcu. Tho bur glar was deeply and visibly affected by these remarks. Tears filled his eyes, and ho expressed tho utmost sorrow at tho act which ho had been about to commit. After a lew remarks by Mr. Lee, tho would bo criminal consented to kneel and join in prayer ; and there in that lonely house, amid the silence of midnight, the offender poured forth his remorse and penitence, while tho representative of re ligion, of peace and good will, told hitn to " co and sin no more. such n scene has few parallels. duty shall suffer bruising ; but ho who chooses the roughest and most dangorous paths without being called to tread them, ' i n .1 i .. l ,1 i i is temping uuu w iuuvu muui iu uiu uuu ural rosults of his own weakness. How a Camel Goes Through tho Eye of a flceuie. Tho passage from the New Testament : " It is easier for a camel to go through the eyo of a ncedlo." etc., has perplexed many good men, who have read it literally. In oriental cities there are in the large gates small and very low apertures, called metaphorically "needles eyes, just as we talk of windows on ship-board as "bulls' eyes." These entrances are too narrow for a camel to pass through them in the ordinary manner, or even it loaded. When a loaded camel has to pass through one of these entrances it kneels down, its load is removed, and then it shuffles through on its knees. " Yesterday, writes Lady Dun Gordon Irom Cario, saw a camel go through ono eyo of a necd- lo, that is, the low arched door ot an in' closure. He must kneel, and bow his head, to creep through ; and thus tho rich man must humblo himself." A Missing Will.

A few months ago, a few ladies who met together in Bublin to read the Scrip turcs, and make thorn tho subject of con versation, were rcadiug tho third chapter of Malachi. One of tho ladies cave it as her opinion that the Fuller's Soap and Rentier ot silver was the samo image both intended to convey tho samo view of tho sanctifying influence of tho graco of Christ; wlnlo another observed, thcro is something remarkable in tho expression of tho third verse : " He shall sit as a refiner and purifier ol silver. They agreed that possibly it might be so, and one of the ladies promised to call on a silversmith and report to them what he said on the subject. Sho went accord ingly, and without telling tho object of her errand, begged to know from him the process of refining silver, which ho fully described to her. " But, sir," said sho, do you sit whilo tho work of refining is going on ?" " Oh, yes, madam," replied tho silver smith, "I must sit with my eyo steadily fixed on the turnace, tor it tho tune nee- cssary for refining be exceeded in the slightest degree, the silver is sure to be injured. At once she saw the beauty, and the comfort, too, of the expression, " lie shall sit as a reuncr and purifier of biI ver. Christ sees it needful to put his chil drcn into the furnaco ; and lie is seated by the side of it; hig eyo steadily intent on the work ot puriiying, and his wisdom and love are both engaged in the best manner for them. Their triuls do not come at random ; tho very hairs of their head are all numbered. As the lady was leaving tho shop, tho silversmith called her back, and ho said he hud still further to mention that he only knew when the process of purifying was complete by see- mg his own imago reflected in tho silver. Jieautilul figure ! W hen Christ sees His own imago in His peoplo, His work of purifying is accomplished. "Make Stral(?ht ruths." TT0RHK8 CURED OF (H.ANDEHH. XI Snyder, U. S.

We his rights, but kindly allowed Lady Miller to remain for six months iu tho house to complete her search lor tho missing pa pers. The six months drew at last to a close, and tho poor widow had spent fruit less days and weeks in examining every possible placo ot deposit tor tho lost doc ument, till at last she came to the conclu sion that her memory must have deceived her, aud that her husband could have made no such promise as sho supposed or had neglected to fulfill it bad ho mado one. Tho very last day ot her tcnuro ol tho houso had just dawned, when, in the gray of tho morning, Lady Miller drove up to tho door ol her man ot business in Bath, and rushed excitedly to his bed room door, calling out, " Como to me ! I have seen Sir John ! There is a will !" Tho lawyer hastened to accompany her back to hcrliouso. All sho could tell was that her deceased husband had appeared to her in the night, standing by her bed. side, and had said solemnly, " I hero is a will I" Where it was, remained as uncer tain as before. Onco more the house was searched in vain from cellar to loft, till finally, wearied and in despair, tho lady and her friend found themselves in garret at tho top of tho house. " It all over, Lady iuiller said ; " I give it up; my husband deceived mo, and I am ruined !" At that moment sho looked at tho tablo over which she was leaning weeping. '! This tablo was in his study once; let us examine it." They looked, and the missing will, duly siguod and scaled, was within it, and the widow was rich to the end of her days. It needs no conjuror to explain how her anxiety call ed up the myth of Sir John Miller's appa rition, and mado him say precisely what he had once before really said to hor, but ot which the memory had waxed taint.

Then I put my ear to the spigot, when the peeping growed like a swarm ot bees. 1 didn t sa7 anythin to the folks about the hatchin , for thoy all told me I was a fool ; but the noxt niornin' I knocked the head out of the barrel, and covered the barn floor two feet deep with little chickens.

Your English Turpins and French Duvals couldn't hold a candlo to our highwoyman. But for all his shrewdness he met his match onco, and I'll tell you how it was. Redmond was a fino, strapping gentle manly looking follow, and a devoted ad mirer of the ladies as where is the Irish man that is not; And what is moro a friend to the poor; ns you'll admit when I tell you that his demands for cash were only made on persons who could well afford to meet thorn, and that he do liehted in forcing contributions from those who had the name of hard landlords to their tenants. There was one of this class whom lledmond never lost nn op- fiortunity ot taxing tor that was the po ite namo he gave to his own robberies. Every quartcrday, this gentleman, or one of his servants sometimes more than one used to tako a journey of six or seven miles to collect his rents, and as regular as clockwork there was lledmond O'Han Ion, with some stout companions if neees. sary, to waylay the collector as he re turned home. Every means was used to cludo him, but to no purpose. He had spies everywhere, and contrived to tret tho exact information he needed in advance. So ono quarterday, when tho gentle- man's servants asked him about going for the rents, ho swore at O'llanlon, and said ho didn t see the use of collecting money to hand it over to him. Now this ccntlcman had on his estate boy called " Jerry the Fool," who had the run of the houso, and made fun for tho family. Ho had a great conceit of lmsclf, aud when ho heard what tho master said, ho immediately asked to bo llowed to go alter tho rents for onco, and declared ho would know tho way to bring thorn safe homo. Of course ho was only aughed at ; but when ho represented that no harm would como from trying, as ho couldn't do worse than all who had cono before him, tho master agreed to humor him. Upon that Jerry mado such preparations as ho thought suitablo choso tho worst horso in tho stable an old hack half blind and three-quarters ame and started on his enterprise Nothing occurred on tho way. Ho col lected a considerable amount of money carefully disposed it about his person, and started homeward. Toward evening, as ho was quietly jogging along on tho old hack, and was just entering a long lane with high hedges on each sido, a tall, fine looking man rodo up to him on a handsome roan mare. you Hand over the monoy, or I'll beat to a iollv with mv horsewhip." " Well, says Jerry, alter a good deal ot fumbling. "I suppose' considering tho troublo I've had in collocting these rents, your honor won't mind the littlo bother of going over thehedgo after them ?" And he throw over a sack apparently well filled with coin. Half laughing, half angry, the highwayman first aim ing at Jerry with his whip, which ho avoidod by ducking dismounted, and climbed over tho hedge No sooner had he done so than Jerry slipped off tho old hack and mounted O'Hanlon's horso. " Bad scran to you, lledmond O'llan lon 1" ho bawled. "Didn't I tell you Jerry the Fool was a match for a dozen of you? It's a sack of brass buttons you're going over tho hedgo alter. le thiet ot the world 1 And touching tho hno mare with his spur, ho galloped off, sing ing at tho top of his voice tho old melody, " Go to tho mischief and shako yourself!" O Ilanlon could n t pursue him on the hack ; tho cute fool had mado him dis charge his pistols. There was nothing for it but to walk a way, cursing his own stupidity, and ever after if any ono wanted to provoke him, they had only to ask him when ho had last scon Jerry tho Fool. " God save gentleman. you, my man !" says tho Ills Head Was Level. A New York wholesale grocor, who has become rich iu his business, has lately made the following revelation. He says his rule always was when he Bold a God savo your honor !" replies Jerry tho Fool. " What's your namo, my man ?" asked tho gentleman " Jerry tho tool and 1 am t ashamed ot it. What s yours f The gentleman took no notice of the nuestiou. After a while he says. " lhats a fino animal you're riding, Jerry." " Faith, I'm glad your houor likes it," says Jerry : " but it isn't mcsclf that'd care to take a lease ot his lito. JJut he d serve my turn anyway, for it's not in a hurry 1 in traveling 1 ve only been to the village beyond to collect the mastor's rents tor him.

" Why, don t you know that lledmond O llanlou a on this road t " lledmond U Ilanlon. is it, says Jerry. " Ugh 1 That for lledmond O'llan lon 1 says bo, snapping his hngors. " Faix, Jerry the Fool is a match for a half a dozen of the like of him, any day in the week, and Sunday into the bar gain The stranger laughed, and they rodo on in silence till they came to a very lonely part of the road, when he drew a brace of pistols, and told Jerry to hand over all the money he had about him, or he'd try if he had any brains by sending a couple ot bullets through his head. " Dieaia ftiurther, roars Jerry, in a tone of surprise and fright. " You don't mean to say your honor's lledmond O'llanlon?" " I do, indeed ; so hand over, my man, and look, sharp about it " But, faix, it's kilt entirely by the master I'll be if I go home without the rint. " What's that to me ?" said O'llanlon. " Anyhow," said Jerry the Fool, " I An Almshouse Romance. A NO VEL incident has occurred nt the Almshouse. A member of tho Board of Guardians informs us that a young man abiding at tho Almshouse, whoso real name is Oeorge lleancy Camp bell, a Scotchman, but who has been pass ing under the name ot George lloaney, has within a few days became extremely rich. Whilo visiting on a recent Sunday evening at tho houso of Scotch family iu West rhiladelphia, ho picked up a paper the Scotch American containing an advertisement for Goorgo Ileaney Camp bell, describing him, naming placo ot birth, etc., stating that an uuelo a bache lor, had died in London and left him some property, and directing him to call upon tho British Consul iu ricw lork.

WOKDS. OME authorities state the number of words in our language at 114,000. These figures embrace, without doubt, many words which others omit. The to tal number of words in use may be sta ted at 103,000. Nearly one third of this numbor commence with tho letters C, P, and S, and more than a third begin with the six letters, A, B, D, I, M, and R ; the initials of the remaining third of our words are very unequally distributed among tho other seventeen letters of the alphabet. Tho greatest number of words begin ning with any one letter are those com mencing with S, of which there are near ly 14,000 ; and the smallest number of thoso beginning with X, which are only about 50. A great disparity will also be scon between the two highest and two lowest ; S and C bogin 24,400 words, while X and Y are tho initials of only 200 words.
