introduction of one. Let him who deals

In the Spring of 1856-1 think it was
opened a little shop on Kear
ney t,,and scion worked myself into a
' . ..Late'one evening it lady, closely veiled,
entered my shop, mid pulling from be
neath her cloak a small japanned box,ye
(inked me to open it. The lock was cur
iously constructed, and I was all of an
ht nu . in fitting it with a. key. The lady
talented nervous pt the delay, and at length
requested me to close the door. I was a
tittle surprited at the suggestion, but of
coursevomplied. Shuttind the door and
,retuttiiiig to my 'Work, theladv withdrew
•her-vakdiselosing us sweet ti'face as can
hetimagined. There was a restlessness in
the eye, and a - pallor in the cheeks, how
ever, which plainly told of as heart ill at
ease,und in a moment every emotion for
.her had given plum to pity.
'"Perhaps you are nut well, madame,
and the night air ie too chilly ?" said I
rather inquisitively.
In requesting vou to close the
*or, ih4d no other object than to escape
the attention of passers by?'
J felt the rebuke in her reply and did
nut ; answer, but thoughtfully continued
thy.' Work
" That little box contains valuable pa
pens—private rapers—and I have lost the
key, or it has n stolen. I should not '
wish to have you remember that I ever
came here on such an errand," she con..
tinned with much hesitation, and giving
me a look which it was no difficult mat
ter to understand.
"Certainly ; madame, if yon desire it. In
I Cannot forget your face, I will at least I
attempt to lose the recollection of ever I
seeing it here?'
•'' The lady bowed coldly at what I con
sidered a fine compliment, and I went on
With my work, satisfied that no sudden
pitrtiallity bud anything to do with the
visit. Moving succeeded, after much fil
;bog and cutting,. in turning the lock, I
wAs suilderily - seized with a curiosity -to
Beta glimpse at theprecitins 'contents of
the box, and suddenly raising the lid, dis
covered ix brindle of letters and a dagner
rotypwas l-slowlv passed the box to its
miner,: :She hurriedly, and plaC
ing,theletters and picture in herpocket,
locked the-box, recompensed me fur my
trouble, and,' drawing the veil over her
poiOted to the door. I opened it,
and she poised into the street, she merely
whispered "Remember!' and passed on
towards the Plaza. - In a few days the in
cident had entirely passed front my mind.
Abont, two o'clock:in the morning, in
the latter part Of the May following, I
was awoke by ajentle tap upon the win
doiiritf the little. room back of my shop,
in which I lodged: Thinking of. 'burg
lani„for they were trequent in those days,
I sprung out or bed, and in a moment was
ettbe window with is heavy hammer in
MY' hand - a:which I usually kept, at that
time, within convenient reach of my bed
side. ,
:• "WhOk,there ?" I inquired, raising the
hammer and.peering out into the thick
darkness—for 'll.lvass as dark as Egpyt

"nether past bisiness hours now, is it
not; but who are yon ?"
"No one that would harm you," replied
them, in a soft, Whis.pering voice.
"Nor one that can r replied rather
emphatically, by Way of warning, as I
tightened 'my grip upon the hammer, and
proeee&d to the door. I pushed back the
bolt' and slowly opening the door, discov

"No, nor five thousand I"
.She patted her foot nervously on the
floor. I could see she had placed entirely
too low en estimate OD my honesty, .• , and
I felt some gratification in being, able to
convince her of the fact.
"Well, tben,if it is absolutely necessary
for use to explain," abe replied, "I must

"You have gone quite far enough,, mad

"As I said , " she continued, "you are re
quired to pick the lock of a vault, and
rescue from death a man who has been
confined there for three days."
"To whom does the vault belong," I in
quired.
"My husband," was the somewhat re
luctant reply..
"Then why so much secrecy? or rath
er how came amen . confined iu such a
place ?" . .
"i.seereted him there to esmpe the ob

as much, and closed the door upon him.
Presuming he foul left the vault and quit
ted the house by the back door, I did not
dream until to-day that he was confined
there. I know he is there! Certain sus
picions acts of my husband this afternoon
convinced me that he is there beyond:hu
man hearing, mid tvill be starved to death
by my brutal , husband, unless immedi

the key. You must rescue him. Now
that you know all, will you accompany
me."
"To the end of the world, madam, on
such_ au errand?'
"Then prepare younielf, quick !—there
is a cab at the door."
1 was a little surprised, for I had not
heard the sound of wheels. Hastily draw
ing oa a coat, and providing myself with
the necessary implements, I was soon at
the door. There, sure enough, was the
cab with the driver in his seat, ready for
the mysterious journey.
I entered the vehicle, followed by the
lady. As soon as I was seated s h e p ro .
(Need a heavy handkerchief, which by the
faint light or an adjacent street laitip, she
carefully bound round my eyes. The
lady seated herself beside me and the cab
started. I could feel her tremble. In half
tut hour the volt iciostopped-Lin What part,
of the city I um entirely ignorattt;'„as it ,
was evidently drtrett hr anything but a
direet eourse front 'the 'poitit'of 'starting.
Exiimining the bandage to see that, my
vision . was completely obscured,' the lady
handed me my bundk of tools with which
1 was provided, then taking Me by the
arm, led me through a gate into a. lionise
I knew was brick and after taking me
alimg.-a—passage—way, , which-vould—not

*'Here is the vault, open it,' she will's

Advice to Yozmn Men.
If you go to call on a young lady, and
she crochets diligently all the evening,
and only says "yes" and "no," you can go
home about nine or a quarter before,with
out breaking any of the rules of etiquette.
Don't make a business of courting any
body very extensively without you want
togo,of ;for keeps_ and lq all means avoid
Sunday evenings. There is something in
the Sunday evening air decidedly spoony,
and it is just as natural for fellows and
girls to get together and court Sunday
evenings, as it is for a hen to set- Many
a promising youth, in the full vigor of
manhood, has been dragged into prema
ture matrimonial decay by an innocent
Sunday evening call.
If you are invited to a sociable or fair,
make yourself sick by smeking your big
brother's pipe, and stay at home ; when
you are culled upon to suffer, do it with
alacrity, and think how happy you are
compared to the miserable victims who
are decoyed into attending.
Don't court but one girl at a time. The
most harrowing sight I know of to-a
sensitive mind, is to see a young man full
of Christian' fortitude and a noble ambi
tion, trying to court two girls at once.
Don't drift into matrimony, unless you
want to get *retched; and don't marry a
poor girl unless she has money.
If you arc calling on a young lady, and
the old folks go out of the room about 9
o'clock with a solemn air, yon can make
up your mind 'here's a conspiracy afloat.
Don't show any symptoms of fear,but tell
the young lady yon were sitting up with
a friend of yours last night who has the
small-pox, and you think you'll go home
and get a little sleep.
Don't imngine it looks smart to loaf
around billiard halls, smoke cheap cigars
at u high price, and swallow soda slops
and whisky at twenty cents a glum It
would show more talent on your part to
retire into the nearest grave-yard and stu
dy last year's almanac.
And don't imagine on Cr. a hardened
hammer just because your father leis you
carry a night key. Sonic young men will
go to a band concert on the Common,
smoke a cinnamon cigar, and go home
thoroughly convinced that they have made
a heavy night of it, and ought to be look
ed after.
If you ask a young lady to marry you,
and she says she would rather be excused.,
don't excuse her.
Don't marry for money. If you are en
gaged to a young lady that has a fortune,
tell her that you will not marry her un
less she gives it all away to the poor, and
goes to!mntriug veits. Toney Is sure to
bring unhappiness.
I never knew of a single instance where
it didn't bring barrels of nnhappitiesa,and
I have seen strong men weep hysterically
because they bad seven dollars ahead.
• If you want to be considered anybody,
learn to chew tobacco immediately. lt
looks so cultivated and refined to see a
young man pull out a tin cannister of to
bacco and make a cesspool of his mouth.
Don't get into debt unless you can find
some one who is willing to trust you, and
then don't.
Don't stay in your present situation all
your life because your grandmother says
that "a rolling stone gathers no moss."—
I know several very-raged and respectable
stmles'Avho have stuck in one place all
their lives, and who hav'nt got moss en
ough to make a small saucer of blanc
mange.
If you are engaged to a young lady, do
not make many presents unless its a pret
ty sure thing, for if anything happens she
is sure to return your presents. A friend
of mine lately received three pair of de
cayed corsets, a lot of initial note paper, a
faded bonnet, a fatted calf, a pair of odd
gloves and a broken heart, and he is now
loi.king for another girl of the same size.
Please don't get married in church, and
have it described in halfta column of dai
ly news. It is the•cheapest sort of noto
riety. •
See if you can't go courting without
tumbling your shirt [mom. if courting
was a criminal offence, I have seen evi
denee enough on a man's shirt bosom to
hang him.
Remember that ignorance and conceit
go band in band, and that cheek and im
pudence are twin brothers.
Youtig.men non-a,days are hadrly worth
bringing tip, and as hear as I can find out
they are governed by the following gen
eral rules:
It is better to receive a small salary and
be constantly in debt, than to earn a
large salary , by doing something that isn't
genteel... - ,

Editing a Paper.
The following was found in the office
of an editor ay a
,sheriff :
Editing a paper is a very pleasant basi
yon like it:
If it eontairu3 'too , moat political wet
ter, people wont'have
If, it contains too little, they will not
have it.
If the type is large, it doesn't contain
much reading . matter. •
If the type is stnall they can't read it at
all.
If we publish telegraph reports folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have in a few jokes folks say we
are nothing but a little rattle bead.
If we omit jokes they say we are an old
fossil.
If we publish original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say that we
are lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
If we give a man complimentary no
tices, we are censured for being partial.
If we do not, all hands say that we are
u great hog.
If we insert an article that pleases the
ladies, men become jealous.
If we do not cater to their Wishes, the
paper is not fit to have injtheir houses.
If we attend church, they say it is only
for effect.
If we do not, they denounce us as de
ceitful and desperutety wicked.
If we remain in our office and attend to
our business, folks say we are too proud
to mingle with other fellows.
If we go out, they say that we do not
attend to business.
If we do not attend
i t.o all bills prompt
ly, folks say that we are breaking down.
If edu pay proMptly, they say we
stole the money.
A Woman's Vengeance
The New York World ntys: Several
weeks ago there was given in these col
umns the particulars of a strange Russian
tragedy, including the finding in a trunk,
at one of the railroad depots of Moscow,
of the body of one M. de Zohn, formerly
a rich French merchant, and at, last a
Russian nobleman, who had been in
veigled to a certain house in the city of
the Czars, and there at the height of a
high revel, slain and eat to pieces at the
behest of a wonderfully beautiful girl
named Afraia. Upon the arrest of this
girl, with her companions, she not only
vaunted the crime she had directed, but
fiercely declared that the mutilated re
mains were those of her father, and that
she had caused the murder in fulfillment
of a vow which she had made in infancy
to her mother, who had been betrayed,
and then left to die of want and misery
by M. de Zohn in his younger days.
By late journals it appears that the
trial has begun in St. Petersburg, and
further details of the tragedy have been
developed. After the unsuspecting noble
man had been brought into the house,
and was rendered unsteady by sleep drink
ing, he was deliberately rubbed of all the
money and jewelry upon his person. In
answer to his protests and threats of corn
plaint to the priest, he was told that the '
robbery was merely a quizzical juke to
try his nerves, and that he must drink
again in honor of the excellence of such
wit. The girl Afraia presented him with
a glass of wine iu which cyanide of potas
sium had been dissolved, and no sooner
had he drank half the deadly draught
than he fell backward, gasping. upon the
divan on which he had been sitting, with
the cry, "Woman, you have poisoned me!"
With eyes on fire with hereditary ha
tred, Afraia bent over him in his agony,
and told him that she was his child, and
that his death was the penalty of having
wronged her poor mother! While yet the
wretched man b srlared at her, in ghastly
discredit of such frightful retribution, one
of her masculine accomplices passed a
leather strap about his neck, dragging
him to the floor, while another beat out
his brains with a bar of iron. The dis
figured body was then cut into pieces,
placed in a trunk, and the latter sent to
the railway station at Moscow, where its
timely discovery by the police led to the
detection and arrest of the murderers.
WONDERFUL RESULTS FROM ADVERTIR
iNti.---A poor but honest couple in Flori
da lost their only child, a boy of several
summers. Personal search proving use
less, they advertised fur him in the daily
paper. That very afternoon an alligator
crawled out of the swamp and died on
the front doorstep. In his stomach were
found a handful of red hair, some bone
buttons, a glass alley, a brass-barrelled
pistol, a Sunday school book, and a pair
of- check pants. The advertisement did
it-"--at least so the editor says. It's of no
use for any alligator that has committed
a crime, to defy the power of a free press!
The editor says he will fetch them right
np out of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean
if it is uecessary.—littUou's Magazine.
BEAUTY OF Pr tirrv.—Goethe was in
company with a mother and daughter,
when the latter, being reproved for some
thing, blushed And burst into tears. He
said to the mother: "How beautiful your
reproach has in.tdc your daughter? The
crimson hue and those silvery tears be
come her much better than • any erne&
meat of gold-or pearls; those may be
hung on the neck of any woman; these
are never seen unconnected with moral
purity. A hill blown flower, sprinkled
with purest hue, is not so beautiful as
this Child, blushing beneath her parent's
displeasure. and shedding tears of sorrow
for her fault. A blush is a sip which
nature hangs out to show whew chastity
and honor dwell."

Thetncient world liad its - Seven !cin
ders, which were much talked'about, and
which people traveled hundreds of miles
to see. But the seven wonders of- our
time are 1110112 useful, and quite as re
markable.
The seven woiaii's iif the world „wen:
First, the Egyptian Yy7vmiils i thiy Titrgest
of these is 793 feet square and 469
,feet
high, and its base covers I]# acres of
ground.
- Second, the Mausoleum, erected to
Mansolus, a king of Carla,, by his widow
A rtemisia; it was 63 feet lung and 35 feet
bieh.
1 4 hird, the TemPle of Diana at Ephesus;
this was 465 feet in length and 220 feet
in breadth.
Fourth, the Walls and Hanging Gard
ens of Babylon. These walls are stated
by Herodottis to have beat 86 feet thick,
360 feet high, and 60 mileaidiength; and
the statement is deemed credible' by' mod
ern untiquarioes. •
Fifth, the Colossus at Rhodes.; This
was a brazen' statue of Apollo, 105, feet
high, Standing at the 'mouth
of Ehear
bor of Rhodes. •
Sixth, the statue of , Jnpiter
at Athens, which.was made of ivory and
gold, and was, ..wonderful for its beauty
rather than its size.
The Pharos of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
This was a light house 550 feet high, on
the rebind of Pharos, at Aleiandria, in
Egypt; a wood fire being kept burning
on its summit during the night to guide
ships into the harbor.
The seven wonders.of the world now
are: The art of Printing ; optical instru
ments, such ns the telescope and miiero
cope ; gun powder; the steam engine; la
bor saving machinery ; the electrie tele
graph ; and the photograph.

lately took place in a small parish church
in Scotland: The precentor, after pro
claiming the hands of matrimony between
a young couple, concluded, as . usual, by
saying : " If there be. auy objections, they
can now be stated."' A rather simple
looking youth, an old admirer of the bode,
noticing the eyes of a portion of the con

exclaimed: "1 hare no objecttion, I :BM
