Our of flee safe was as unsafe as ft pine box would have been and I disliked to leave a dollar in It. There were several burglaries about the place, and all of thorn woro skillfully planned and executed. "One night our oDlce was visited, the safo pried open with wedges, and the con tents carried off. The burglars found but a few hundred dollars, but the worst of it was that they had hit upon a night when there ought to have been a large amount of money there. We had received a largo payment the day before, but instead of trusting it to our old safe I had talion it homo with me. " We wondered if the burglars had any knowledge of this payment. If they had, then they must have extraordinary means of gaining intelligence, and would know whenever we received any large amounts again, and would they not come at once to my house, now that they had seen I did hot trust tho safo ? The question was a a very perplexing one, and I had an angry debate over it with soino of our directors. I was in favor of gottiug a reliable safo and employing a night-watchman, but I was out voted. "Old Evans, indeed, went so far as to say that, as lightning never struck twioo in the same place, neither did burglars visit the old safes the second time. And he was inclined to think our money would bo safer if left in the ofllce than if carried to my residence. And he talked so many others into his way of thinking that a reso lution was passed declaring it against their wishes to havo nny of the company's funds kept anywhere except In tho office safo I "Of courso, tho effect of this was that if I carried tho money home aud lout it, the loss would fall on me individually, and not upon the company. " I was angry enough to have resigned my place, but my interest in tho concern was too large to be trifled with, though I determined there would be a change in that board of directors another year. " About a week after this our secretary returned to Boston on the evening train and brought with him fifty thousand dol lars, and all in greenbacks, the proceeds of our monthly bills receivable. ; Ho brought the money in bills because the day follow lug was our pay-day. " I was in a more perplexing state of mind when he handed me that money. knew the office safe ' was bo protection whatever and yet if I carried the money home with me I was assuming' a great re sponsibility. Without saying a word to any one I determined to keep the money with mo.' I found an old dinner-basket in the office and carried it home in that. ' "You may be assured that I did not feel very comfortable that evening. I thought of every nook and corner in the bouse, and wondered where would be the safest. At last I determined upon dividing it, leaving half here aud the rest in my own room. bad not mentioned the matter at home, not even to my wife, but pload a headache wbon reminded of my pie-occupied air. "I came in here and placed twenty-five thousand dollars in that ottoman at your feet. See, the top is on hinges, and is fas tened by the hook on the side. This otto man I pushed near ' Nap.' The balance I carried to my own room and put it in the stove, thinking that would be the last place where any one would look for it. I went to bed, but it was nearly midnight before I fell asleep. . r " I was awakened to find a man's hand on my inoutb, and to be informed that he did not inteud to barm me if I kept quiet My bands were then tied behind me, a towel fastened in my mouth, and the inut ile of a pistol placed against my head. Another man was treating my wife in a similar manner. They had a dark-lantern and wore masks. , " After securing us they began to warch the room. First my clothes, then the bureau drawers, under the bed every where but where the money was., be gan to think I had outwitted them, when one said to the other, "How's that stove?" Another minute aud they were pulling Out the money. - " Imagine my feelings if you can. Kven if they left with this amount it was no small sum to lote. I eould almost have oried then aud there. One ran over the amount and said to the other, "Only half here." My heart grew colder than before. They went to the easy chair and cut open the. seat; they picked up the ottoman, examined it, and went out of the room. . " I was trying to got up when one came back the other had Ue money ; he pushed hie back into the bed, saying I had better be quiet. I beaid the other man walk down stairs and I knew my money was gons, They evidently knew bow much money 1 bad, and from the way that they had ripped open chairs and cushions iu my room, tbey would not be long searching for that which was down stairs. , " The. fellow must have come straight to this door. I heard him turn the latch, Mud then a most unearthly scream ! I knew that ' Nap' was doing his duty. In a flash I Jumped to the floor, and In doing so gave a wrench to the band aboat my wrists that broke it, and then before the man on guard could Are, I caught his revolver. He made a stroke at me, I dodged It, caught him by the lugs and threw him. As he full he gave tip his hold on the revolver. " 1 eared nothing for htm, I wanted the man who had the money ; so 1 dashed down the stairs, only to seo him going out the hall door. I fired, but missed him ; I fired again and heard a cry of pain ; I fired once mora and broko his anklo and down he dropped. The other man jumped out of the window and esopped. " Of course, I secured my man, recover ed my money, and old Evans hud to admit that he had been wrong, for the rabbet's had first gone to the office, and came to my house only when they "found the safe empty. Another revelation that the morn ing brought was a confession from my prisoner that our book-keeper was one of their gang, and posted them about our af faiis. The book-keepor did not come to work that morning, nor have we ever seen him sinco. "And the dog?" I asked. "Yes, the dog had all the credit. You see the thief supposed by the silence that there was no dog about the premises, and bo thought he was done, for when he open ed the door, 'Nap' sprang at him." " But," said I, "he was frightened rathor easily ; these fellows usually do not care much for dogs." ' "I guess he never saw quite such a dog as 'Nap was that night,', said Alick laugh ing. "I had rubbed his eyes and mouth with phosphorus, and put on tho strong spring. I don't blame the fellow for im agining tho evil ono was before him. "'Phosphorus nnd strong spring!' I exclaimed ; 'what are you talking about?" " His eyes are glass, you know." "Glass! Have you Veen drinking or have I?" " Why, old fellow,, don't you seen that 'Nap' is a fraud ?" " I jumped to the dog, aud suro enough I had beon badly sold the dog was India rubber ! Alick laughed loud and long nt my sheepish face. " Is the story ns true as the dog ?" I asked. "Oh, the story is as true as preaching. I bought ' Nap' when I was in Paris. I have springs fixed on tho door . and iu the floor, so that when the door Is opened the dog stands up, and when he is up there is an arrangement in his threat that makes the growl you heard. By putting on that upper lever he is made to jump as high as a man's head, aud that jump was what frightened the burglars." "I sympathize with that burglar, and I hope be did not lose caste among his pro fessional brethren, , for certainly the, dog was a villainous-looking brute as well as a most unmitigated swindle. Chandler's Joke. A WASHINGTON letter writer tells the following good joke on Conk ling: " Chandler's great hobby la his' skill as a pugilist. Roscoe Conkling is also a great boxer. lie has a private gymnasium in his residence at Washington, where after dinner he inviUn such of his friends as are gymnastically inclined for a friendly little bout with the gloves. Conkling is a very good amateur boxer, and as he is a very large, powerful man, he generally has it In bis own way with the guests' who are bold enough to. put the cloves on with him, For some time it was an open ' dispute be. tweon Chandler and Conkling which was the better boxer of the two. ' Chandler would, after every dinner party of which he was a member, calmly assert that he could lick any man of his weight in the United States. One day last winter Chandler dined with Conkling, and the latter inveigled the great war senator into the private gymna sium. The gloves were donned and the two doughty obampions began to make graceful senatorial passos toward one an other according to tho most approved rules of the P. R. The bout, however, was of very short duration. Chandler suddenly re ceived a blow between tho eyes, which caused the huge senatorial form to go over backward ; his trusty legs failed him, and then he sat down so hard that the tears came out of his eyes. It took four men to get the war senator upon his legs, but he threw up the sponge at once. Conkling and Chandler wete muoh to gether in a social way, and it was not long after the above occurrence whoa Chandler received another invitation to come up to his house and spread his legs under Conk ling's social board. Chandler sent back word that he regretted very muoh his in ability to be present, but he, bad at his house a guest, a valued constituent from Michigan, aud be oould not leave hlin, Conkling sent back word, " Bring your friend along." With this form of invita tion Chandler consented to come up. lie brought his friend with him, and introduc ed him as Mr. Howard, of Detroit Conkling was in a great glee during the dinner. He told over aud over again the story of Chandler's discomfiture as a box er, and never seemed to tire of asking him what he thought of his ability to lick any man in the United States. Chandler took nil thoso remarks in an absent-mimlcd wny, ns if suddenly ho had become lifted above ' any such potty ambition of com.iiloring himself a fine athloto. After dinner Conkling led his guests into the gymnasium for a general smoke and chat. " Come," said ho pleasantly to Chandler, "don't you want another bout with the gloves I" and than Conkling laughed again in his most cheerful, turkey gobbler style, as ho put on a pair of gloves. , " I don't want to box," said C'handlor; "but pciliajis my friend hero would con sent to amuse you." Turning to Mr. How ard Chandler remarked, " Yon box, do you not?" Mr. Howard looked sad-eyed mid abseiit- miuded. He did once know something about it, but it was such a long whilo ago, " Cpme, como," said Conkling, ''let. ns have a friendly bout. I won't hurl, you." Evidently the great New York Senator was pining to knock some one down. Mr. Howard, evidently flattered at the prospect of being even knocked down by so distin guished a man, begnu to slowly put on a pair of gloves. As he was drawing on the gloves Chand ler was observed to walk down a little to the background. A contented look was upon his face, and every now and then he would raise his huge right foot up under his swaying voluminoas coat-tail and give himself a congratulatory kick, expressive of rapture. The sad-eyed man now eame forward, and the round began. Conkling was for proceeding nt once to knock bis opponent down, nnd would have done so had he not found great difficulty iu getting anywhere near tho sad-eyed man. The af fair culminated by the sad-eyed man's sud denly rushing forward and landing a thun derbolt of a fist between Conkling's eyes. The Senator went over like- a great tree, aud rolled into the corner of the room, where ho lay for a moment stunned by the concussion. He was heard to say after ward that he thought a house had fallen on him. Conkling had enough of boxing for onco. Judge of Conkling's feelings the noxt day when he learned that Chandler had played a joke upon him by giving Mr. Howard $100 to come up aud bounce Conk ling. Tbe Mr. Howard, of Detroit, Michi gan, was none other than the notorious pugilist, Jem Mace. , , A Difference. Forty years ago rumors in Washington imputing misconduct to members of Con gress were seldom in circulation. A corres pondent, then residing in the city, heard only one report prejudicial to the charac ter of either a Senator or member of the House of Representatives And as its denoument illustrated the sagacity of Sen ator Grundy, of Tennessee, it is given. . The correspondent was seated in that Senator's room, when a gentleman entered, and said : " A report is in circulation highly injuri ous to the cbaractor of a Senator of tbe United States." "Stop," said Mr. Grundy, "before it is stated I will make a prediction. If a Western Senator is implicated, tbe govern ment has been cheated out of : publio laud ; if the Senator involved is from the South, a negro has been wronged ; but if there is some trick concerning a patent right, tbe Senator is from New England. " , ., . , . ; The facta beiug stated, it appeared that a Senator from a Now England State had charged one of his constituents ten dollar for obtaining a patent for au improvement in door locks. This deviation from pro priety forty years ago oaused more denun ciation than that awakened at this day by well known disreputable practice of Sen ators and members of Congress who re ceive fees for the exercise of their influence to procure appointments, or to cover u official delinquency. ' i " Womanly Modesty. Men love the mysterious, A oloudlos sky, the full-blown rose, . leaves him un moved; but the violet which bides its blushing beauties behind the bush aud the moon,when she emerges from behind a cloud, are to him sources of inspiration and pleasure. Modesty is to merit, what shade is to figure in painting it gives it boldness and prominence. Nothing adds more to female beauty than modesty ; it sheds around the countenance- a halo of light-' which is borrowed from virtue. Botanist have given the rosy huo which tinges the cup of the rose the name of " maiden blush." This pure and delicate hue is the only paint that Chris tain virtue should sue; it is the richest ornament. A woman without modesty is like a faded flower which diffuses an unwholesome odor, aud which tbe prudent gardnor will throw away from him. Her destiny is melancholy, for it ends in shame and repentance. Beauty passes like tbe flower of the aloe, which blooms and dies In a few hours, but modes ty gives the female charaoter charms which snpply the place of the transitory fresh ness of youth. tW Snook's boy beard him say the other day that there was mouey In hong, and he proceeded to investigate the old man's poultry yard.
