The Mishaps ol a Night. The district school iu tho villarro of Hollythorn was taught by Miss I'.va Stanley, who -'boarded around among the scholars, and was con sidered the paragon of teachers. lha last week previous to thoholi lay vacation she had been boarding with a Mis. Carpenter, who was making gigantic prepmntions for UfHts she expected from New York. "You never met inv brother. Eva.'' alio said. "Thpre S im. nnd ' " '.' , .'

"The last, time they vi-ited mo to gether. John and Sim actually cut a pane of ejus from tho window, and pelted Goorgo from by best room with snow. "You see, thore is always a regular strifo for that particular room, for the bed is a spring ouo, and they say they don't sleep on any otlier in the city. But '.hoy don't get it thin time, that's certain, for I intend to givo you that room; and so cud the controversy. " "I had just as soon oecunv soma other room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do not wish to iuoommodo your bro thers." "Xo yon shan't, Eva.''ii.iromntori- ly exclaimed hor UosIchk; ' und w hat is tuo u so or your goiug noma vaea tion week k t Y ju can slay horc just I ''V "J , ,!tl w,,i,u . !''"" is not, and do I'imr bowiug ! bfr 'iow sho happened to bo ntis mchiuo.' taken for Sam, and becamo tho vic as well as on my iua 1 Le sumect was dronnod. and thn entiro household retire.) early, for on the morrow the brothers, young, anion t, and full of life, wero to bo thore. Hut without sending any word of their intention, they had concludod to tako the train which would laud them in Hollythorn about bedtime. Gorgoand John did so. and whon seatod in the cars begau to spoculate upon the ubsenco of Sam. "No reason in tbo world why lie should not Lave been hero," said George. "I can't muko it out, un less lie has taken the five o'clook train by mistake." "ot a bit of it, Inui'lio I John, who fancied bo understood tho en tiro programmo. "It is most likely lie took that on purposo to got into Hannahs parlor bourootu, and make ns take up with straw ticks and fea thers. "I didn't think of that, but I rock- ou you aro right. We must contrive to get bun out somehow. 1 ho brothers put their heads to gether and laughed merrily over some scheme for outwitting Sam. and accordingly, whon the train reached Hollythorn, about eleven o'clock, they approached the bouse of their sister ia a very stealthy man ner. Climbing tho fonce In the rear, thoy softly opened the window and ob tained access to tho pantry, where they demolished a wholo minco pie and a quantity of doughnuts. Thou with appetite appeased, they re moved tboir boot and prepared to investigate the "best room," atole along tho ball, which was dimly lighted by the moon, ascended the stairs, and reached the door. The faint ray of the moon disclosod a chair piled np with clothing, and they could distinctly trace the out- lino of a form beneath the bed clothes. A fow whispered words wore exchanged, and then, aa lightly a if shod with down, they drew near. "Alt ready I whispered Ueorge. Qtiiek ns fhonprh they seized upon thn form of tho sluopor, bedel othoa and ail, bore it swiftly duwn the ataixe and oak into the mow, and vjsK'rx rc-v a? woro about to deposit it into a tinge drift, whn a ahrill scream bmko the stillneas of the night, and oh, horror! it was tlmt of a woman! And in their couatcrnntion thof dropnod tlioir btirdou plump into tho middle Of the time MUtwd boarena I" exclnimod (teoro, "it isn't Sam, but aomo wo nutu, as I am a sinner I and who hits fuititpd.

It is too bad; I hhouldn't wonder if sho hud takcli her death, being dragged out of a warm bod this timo of night and droppod into a snow-drift iu Unit fashion. No woudur sho cried, poor thing." "Cried, diil slid" repeated Goorgo, with a groan. "I should think sho did. I just tooK ierinmy anus ana wi ner tim of your mad pranks. "That was neat in you, II in.," said Goorgo. "I am awful glad vou huggod tho poor littlo thiug Wish you had givon hor a brotherly mpieczo for mo 'pou my houor I do." "Aud how on earth do you ex- Pcct 118 ',d.v and tako tha conso- inences ?" asked John, boginuini; to look serious. "I nm for taking my self off instantcr. I had rather face a masked battery than this pretty school teacher, after making such fools of ourselves." "I don't care if you had," answer, ed his sister indignantly. "Tho only way to do is t stay and brave it out, both of you, and apologizo for your rudeness." 'Hut Sam t How tho donco aro we to get along with him t You know well enough, Han., we shall nover bear the end of it from him.' "If yoa two can koop tho secret, I'll find a way to silonoo Bridgot, and it is a subject Eva will not care to have discussa l, anil fortunately my husband is away from borne. So go to bed and rost contented." She showed them to tho bod sho hail intended them to occupy, and soon the bouse waa onoe more hush od in slumber. Moanwhile thoir brother Ram had reached tha depot a few minutes too late. He found the train he was to have tikon already gone, but on con suiting a tiruotahla ho found that another train started two hours later ami o deoidod to tako it He figured to himself, as he impationtly crowded into an empty seat, and was being whirled along at a rapid rate, bow snugly his brother bad ensconced themselves in tho bast bed, which by light belonged to him, he being the eldost; and consummated a plan to get even with them.
