MISCELEANECUS READING
ROW EVA STANLEY BOARDED
A 110 UN D.
_o_
In the thriving village of Hollythorne
there was (as„ is common to such places)
a church, post office, n COD file of stores.
and a district school, the said school b,-
ing taught by young lady who bad a
widowed mother and brothers and sisters
to assist in supporting.
Fur the sake of economy, Miss Eva
SLuiley "boarded around" among the
scholars, and was considered a paragon
among teachers. her father bad been a
respectable mechanic, but died af:er about
two years of illness which bitterly impov
erished the family. Eva had, .however,
(she being the oldest,) received a good,
plain education before the great ea'a nett
same upon them. and, nobie hearted and
unselfish, began her work of assisting in
the support.
'I he last week previous to the holiday
vacation she had been boarding with ct
Mrs. Carpenter, who was making gigantic
preparations for visitors she was espect
nig from sew York.
"You never met my brothers, Eva,"
she said, and then began to give the.prets
tv young teacher a description of them.
"There's Sam. George. and Johnny, the
youngest ; and such times as they have
when they get out here and rusticate, as
they call it. But, dear me, I don't get
mach rest or peace, for they are like a
lot of boys let out of school. Such tricks
'find pranks no one ever saw. The last
time they visited me altogether,
John and Sam actually cut a pane of
glass from the window and pelted George
out of my hest room with snow. Yon
see there is always a regular strife for
that particular room, for the bed is a
spring one, and they say they don't sleep
on any other kind in the city. But they
don't get it this time, that's certain, for I
intend to keep you in that room and so
end the controversy. lam so afraid they
will break or ruin something that I am
glad you are here. It may keep them in
check a little."
"I bad just as soon ocempy some other
room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do not wish to
incommode your brothers—have no right
to do so."
"No you shan't, Eva." - peremptorily ex
claimed her hostess. -"And what is the
use of your going home vacation week ?
You can stay here just as well as n t and
do up your sewing on my machine Your
mother has got enough months t feed, I
guess, and won't miss yours."
The subject will dropped, an the en
tire household retired early, f on the
morrow the brothers, young, a ent, and
full of life, were to be there. ut with
out sending any word of their t tention,
they had concluded to take th evening
train, which would land them t Holly
thorne about bedtime. John a d George
did so, and when safely seated the cars
began to speculate upon the bsense of
Sam.
"No reason in the world why he should
not have been along," said George.
"No for he told me this morning that
he would certainly be on hand, eiddJohn
MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1874.
"1 can't make it out, unless he has talc
in the five o'clock train by mistake."
"Not a bit of it," laughed John, who
fancied he understood the entire pro
gramme. •It's more likely he took that
train on purpose to get into Hannah's
spare bedroom,and make us take up with
straw ticks and feathers."
"I did't think oil that, brit I reckon
you are right. We must contrive to get
him out somehow."
"Bet your life on that."
The brothers pat their heads together
and laughed merrily over some scheme
for outwitting Sam, and accordingly,
whin the train reached llollythorne.abont
eleven o'clock, they approached the house
of their sister in a very stealthy manner.
Climbing the fence in the rear, they
softly opened a window and °Whined ac
cess to the pantry,where they demolished
nico pie and a quantity of doughnuts.
Then. with appaitss appeased, they re
moved their boots and prepared to exam
ine the "best room." They stole into the
hull, which was lighted by the moon dis
closed a chair filled with clothing, and
they could distinctly trace theoutlines of
a form beneath the bed clothes, and had
not the remotest idea but what Sam was
enjoying sweet repose upon Hannah's
beet bed.
A few whispered words were exchang
ed, and then, as softly and lightly us if
?hod with down, they drew near.
"All ready !- whispered John.
Quick as thought they seized upon the
Form of the sleeper, bed clothes and al,
bore it swiftly dawn stairs, out in the
snow, and were just about to deposit it in
a huge drift, when a shrill scream broke
the stillness of the night, and, oh ! hor
ror !—it WWI that of a woos - 111 And in
their consternation they dropped their
burden lump in the middle of n drift.
"Good heaven r exclaimed George, "it
isn't Sam, but some woman, as I a m a
sinner, and she has fainted. Ran and
call Hannah."
With admirable presence of mind, he
lifted the limp form of Eva S anley and
carried her into the house. But her cry
had already be. n beard. and the inmates
came rushing into the hall just as he up-
peared.
“George ! Jelin ! for goodness sake
what does this mean, and who hare you
there ?"
"Blessed if I know.' said Gmrge.
"thought it was Sam ; so we concluded
to give him a dose of snow for getting
into the best be•d and trying to euchre us.
Quick ! I believe she has fainted."
"Just like you scolded Hannah, as
she assisted in dopositing Eva upon the
bed from whith she had been so uncere•
monionelv taken ; "beginning your tricks
upon each other before you fairly get in
to the home. Clear out now."
Lutz before she was done with her ti
red • her discomtlited brothers had Itetak
et. thentseitos down stairs, and they al
most went into hysterics over the joke.
"A pretty kettle of lisp !" said George,
rollitig, over the floor and letting otr peal
after peal of laughter.
"I should think it wail," replied John,
holding his sides. 4.0 it mj! But what
the dickens is to be done it. uud
who do yomittipose it is, George ?"
"Some guest of Hannah's, of course,
and young and pretty at that. I don't
know how it Is with you, but I feel par•
tienlarly small and extremely cheap—
would sell myself at a very low price."
"Cheap !" roared John ; "cheap !
would actually give myself away this
blessed minute, and throw something in
to boot. What we are to do I can't say ;
but believe I snail dig out of this place
and get back to the city before morning.
1 hain't got the ailbrage to face the music
so I'll get up and go."
lie began hastily putting on his boots,
and would hare put his threats into exe
cution but for the aprarattee of Hannah
who at once is.sserted her authority.
"You are not going a single step,"
said she ; "but I don't wonder you feel
miliamed of yourselves. What on earth
posPssed rot is more than I can t e n."
••Tlint's rtgilt lion ; pitch in, scold
away ; take my amount Mit now, for
lam as meek ai a lamb. But who me it
we have played so BliaAy a tricli on ?"
asked George.
! I should think it was. Why
it is Eva Stanley—just as nice a young
thing as ever lived. She is our scliool
teacher. and this ie her week to hoard
here; and I knew yon boys would be
bubbling over that room as usual, 83
pin her in there,little thinking you would
come home in a stealthy manner."
. "Eva Stanley ! Whew ! A pretty
school teacher!" and repeating his sis
ter's words. hekm - e a lugubrious groan.
"Ilas she reeovehal ?" questioned John
vainly endeavoring to retrain his laughter
at the wry faces his brother was making.
"Yes, I soon brought her to ; but I
don't believe the poor girl will ever get
over the fright. She said that the first
thing the knew she was being lifted tip
and carried out, and she was so much
alarmed that she couldn't utter a sound ;
but the inorneut the cold air struck her,
she realized she was being abducted, or
something of the kind, and had time
enough to utter a scream when she faint
ed. It's too bad, 1 should not wonder
if she had taken her death, being drag
ged out of bed this time of night, and
dropped into a snow drift in that fashion.
No wonder she cried, poor thing."
"Cried, did she ?" repeated George,
with a groan.
"I should think she did. I just took
her in my arms and let her have her cry
out, while I explained to her how she
happened to.be mistaken for Sam and be
came a victim of your mad pranks."
"That was neat in you Han. I'm aw
ful glad you hogged the poor thing. I
wish you had given her a brotherly
squeeze for me—'pon my honor I do. Oh,
dear! I'm in sackcloth and ashes from
this time henceforth and forevermore,"
replied George, with another dismal
groan.
"And how on earth do you expect tts
to stay and take the consequences?" ask
ed John. beginning to look serious, "I'm
for taking myself off instantly. I bad
rather face a masked battery than this
pretty teacher after making such fools of
ourselves."
"I don't care if you had," answered his
sister, indignantly. "The only way is to

brave it out. both of you, and apologizs
for your rudeness. She is not a bit stu
pid, but pleasant and merry, and no
doubt you will hare a jolly laugh over the
affair."
"But Sam I How the deuce are we to
get along with him ? You know well
enough, Han, that we shall never hear
the last of it from him ; and it will be
brought up at ad times and in all places.'
"If you two can keep the secret. I'll
find a way to silence Bridget, and it is a
subject Eva will net wish to have discus
sed, and, fortunately, my husband is
away. So go to bed and rest contented."
She showed them to the room she bad
Intended them to occupy, and soon all
was quiet again.
Meanwhile, their brother Sam had
reached the depot a few minutes too late.
Ile found the train•he was to have taken
gune ; but, upon consulting a time table,
he ascertained that another train started
two hours later, and so he decided to
take that. lie figured to himself. as he
impatiently crowded into an empty seat
and was being whirled along at a rapid
rate, how snugly his brothers had en
sconced themselves in the best room,
which by right belonged to him, he being
the eldest, and lie consummated a plan
to get even with them.
Sometime after midnight he was depos
ited at liollytherue, and reaching his sis
ter's, he scouted around until he found a
way of entrance into the kitchen, where
he' l deposited his luggage and removed his
hoots. Then he stole up stairs and open
ed the door of the best room. "Sure
enough," he thouht, "my fine chaps,
you are in clover I" for there were not-to
be-mistaken signs of the room being oc
cupied. Garments were lying upon chairs
and the bed was pressed by slumbering
terms.
To think of coping with their united
strength by dragging them forth was not
practicable ; but there stood the pitcher
of water, and he knew that a good dous
ing with the icy fluid would bring them
out quick enough.
"If I can't have my old quarters," he
chuckled, 'you shan't —that I'm deter
mined npon. So here goes."
Ile lifted the pitcher, approached the
bed, raised the pitcher high, and sudden
ly dashed the entire convents upon the
sleeper.
Such a torrent cf screams as be had
never before heard rang through the
lionse and before Sant could collect his
scattered senses, door after door opened,
and Hannah, George and John rushed in
—in scanty apparel ; Hannah with a
frightened took on her face, and a lamp
in her hand that revealed the entire scene
There eating up in bed, with her hair
dripping like u mermaid, her night dress
deluged, her face colorless and looking
terrilied,was the vcrhoolmistress,and there
iv/as Sam, with the empty pitcher in his
hand, the very picture of imbecility and
swing like an idiot at Miss Eva and the
havoc he had made.
Ifinnah. George and John instantly
comprehended, the situation, and the lat
ter. at the command of their sister. drag
ged &trii away, while she assisted the ter
rified and drenched girl to dry her cloth
ing, and then took her to her own bed
aud room, explaining for the second time
the mishaps of the night.
'Tit keep you with me now, my child,"
though with difficulty keeping back her
laughter, "Those boys are nicely come
up with, at any rate ; and if it wasn't for
you're having been so terribly frightened
and the say my best bed has been used,
I wouldi.'t care. They do nothing when_
they come home oat study np some trick
to play upon each other ; and," continu
ed she. "they ars so confined in their
offices and storm' daring most of the year
that they feel entirely loose when they
come out here, but you are safe now."
Hannah kissed her charge. and then
went down to gell about the boys, who, as
soon us they were fairly shut up in the
region below, began to thoroughly appre
ciate the joke ; and now that Sam was ai
d.wp in the mod as they were in the mire
gave no quarter.
"I'll be blamed if I know what it all
means," said Sam,looking at his brothers,
who were rolling and kicking in
convul
sinus of laughter.
"Wait," replied George, "until Hannah
comes, and see if you don't find out!"
and he gave way to another peal.
Sam had cot smiled, and stood looking
the very picture of discomfort und per
plexity, but answered :
"For heaven's Bake, hold on, boys! Fm
willing to admit that I am badly sold—
going dog cheap to the highest bidder—
but hold on long enough to tell a fellow
what it all means."
"Means ? Of course I will," continued
George. "It means that you have stolen
like a thief into Miss Via Stanley's cham
ber—who is a lady teacher 'boarding'
round ; that this is her week here ; and
thinking it was your hnmble servant and
Johnny snug in bed, you attempted to
drown us out and made a grand mistake,
How do you like it, Sam ?"
"I confess I see the point, but can't
see the joke. It is a moat outrageous
shatve."
At this juncture Hannah came in and
began rating them soundly, thereby let
ting out the whole story. It was Sam's
turn to laugh, and the whole thing was
BO supremely ridiculous that he was com
pelledto join his brothers.
Miss Eva was not visible at the break
fast table next liforning, and Hannah
announced that ebe was sick with a se
vere cold ; whereupon George groaned
out and called for a handful of peas to
put in Sam's shoes, while that gentleman
looked very contrite and John declared
ho wanted to shoot himself. But Han.
nab had the unruly crew under her
thumb for once in her life, and had the
satisfaction of eing them behave with
semething of dignity. They appeared to
never forget that there was an idvalid in •
the house, and went on tip toe about ;
and Sam, who seemed to take the entire
responsihility upon his shoulders, cent oft
to New York for choice fruit and flowers
which be induced his sister to convey to
the young lady with the most abject
apologies and regrets.
In a couple of days Eva was able to
come down stairs. She was looting quite
pale, but lovely, and of curse divinely,
when, presented by Mrs.earpenter to her
three brothers, who behaved quite well
considering the tinpleasuntneas of their
Aitnation.
But Sam, who had broken the ice by
means of his presents was most at ease,
and by virtue of his age and experience
constituted himself the propitiator, and
was constantly on band to offer 31ia Eva
a thousand nameless attentions and be
fore the week was out John declared in
confidence to Hannah that "Sam was
done for l"
"Gone under completely,"? echoed
George, with one of his dismal groans.
"Just think of it, Han, if it had not been
for that pitcher of water Sam would have
been heart whole this blessed minute.
The fellow meets lots of girls, much pret
tier than she, every day, and with loteof
stamps, too. They say pity is twin sister
to love, and I believe it,"
"Sour grapes !" whispered John, puc
kering up his month.
Hannah sang Eva's praise and secretly
commended Sam's choice. She recom
mended marriage to all of them as the
only sobering process she was acquainted
with. They do not feel inclined to fol
low her advice, notwithstanding Sam's
happy lot with the pretty schoolmistress
of Hollythorne.
She often reminds her brothers-in-law
of her unceremonious introduction to a
snow drift at the dead of night, and they
retaliate by reference to the shower bath
given her by Sam.
LOOK OUT FOR HER
A WOMAN WHO WANTS Frrri - DOLLARS TO
KEEP HER FROM SCREAMING.
The pranks of a lady—at least in ap
pearance—along the line of the Missouri
Pacific railroad recently have caused the
depletion of the pocket-books of several
hotel proprietors at different towns, and
among them Warrensburg, and while the
money was parted with, there is still at
least peace in the landlord's household.
It suffice to narrate how this female "did
her little job" at Warrensburg, as related
to a Dispatch reporter :
She visited the town in the capacity of
n book agent, to impress upon the credu
lous the advantage to be gained by a sub
scription to "the most interesting and
instructive work ever published." Ar
riving in town at noon, she immediately
went to a hotel, which shall be nameless,
and registered. She was shown to her
room and made. her toilette. The next
step was to ring a bell which ushered a
boy in her presence, to whom; she com
municated the fact that she desired to see
the landlord. The message was delivered
to the landlord, and in the course of a
few minutes he met her face to face in
her room. As he entered the room she
quietly locked the door, and placing the
key in her pocket, said :
"Now, Mr.—, I wish to have a few
moments' chat with you."
"Well, ma'am," replied the landlord,
"what you have to, say, say it quickly, for
I am in a hurry."
In a very self composed manner the
book agent drew herself up, and said she:
'•Now, Zblr.—, you are a married man,
are you not ?"
"Yes, ma'am," meekly replied the land
lord.
"You have children, two of whom are
nearly of age, have you not ?"
"Yes, ma'am," again replied the hus
band.
"Well, then," said the book agent, "if
YOU have any respect for yourself and
family, pay me fifty dollars or I will
scream!'
The landlord was bewildered, and, be
ing a mild-mannered man protested only
in well-rounded phases. This bat made
matters worse, and desiring to avoid a
disagreeable reflection upon his wife and
children he agreed to pay her fifty dollars
which he did, and on the evening train
she left for Pleasant Hill, where it is said
she played the same game.
The landlord at Warrensbnrg thinks it
rather expensive to pay fifty doll ate to
keep a woman from screaming, but there
are only a few who know of it, and being
a rather dignified gentleman, and one
whose private character is spotless, he is
not joked about it.-81. Louis Dispatch.
It is said that the young ladies of Jack.
sonville, Toon., have a fashion of tying
up their taper lingers when young gen
tlemen are expected to call, and when the
latter very naturally ask the cause, they
blushingly reply, "1 burned them broiling
the eteak this morning." The result, as
chronicled by a local paper, is that sever
al young gentlemen have burned their
fingers by believing the story.
A wag went to the station of one of the
railroads one evening, and 'finding the
best ear (all said in a low tone,"Why,this
car isn't going !" Of course this caused a
general stampede, and the wag took the
best seat. In the midst of the indigna
tion he was asLed : "Why did you say
this car wasn't going ?" "Well , it wasn't
then," replied the wag, "bnt it is wow."
A temperance advocate at one of our
police stations asked a man who had been

BINGILINTON d , s ozn PAY CO. R. R
To the peoplo of the western portion of Bustin's
. Unita county, and the eastern section of Brad
ford. lying upon the waters of the Wyalitaing
and Choconut:
Whereas, it seemeth good to the people, of
Binghamton to now take steps whereby to avail
themselves of the benefits to be derived from
the so-long-talked-of connection by railroad
with the Sullivan coal fields, and, being deter
mined to seek that line upon which the roost '
help can be obtained fur this purpose, they are
prospecting for the shortest practicable line
available thither'. The Montrose line to Tnnk ,
hannock offers much of this availability, the
distance by the Wyalusing being nearly equal
to the former, with the advantage / fit favor of
the Montrose line that twentysOen miles of It
i
ere already built. Now, if we i
wish to secure
the benefits which always en s oto the inhabi•
tants of every section of count through which
similar imi.rovemente have bee made, does not
the imperative duty now dev I ye itself upon
as to use our greatest energies for the comple
tion of this almost inestimable project ? If we
sit idly by while this business is made the or
der of the day, we must expect no benefit to
ourselves, and should not complain If we are
. eft unheeded and unnoticed in the future. Na
ture has given us one of the most practicable
lines in the country fora railroad,and it is hoped
that by our apathy and Indifference to this sub
ject we shall not give a successful competitor
for the prize the privilege to say. "your lack of
success is all owing to your Indolence." Let
every person consider himself committed to
the task of seeing his neighbor for the purpose
of convincing him if possible that this project
is of the most vital importance to himself and
children, and above all to his country,and that
this cannot be accomplished without the help
of every man owning land within a limited dis
tance of the line. By InquiiY, I find that In
every section where a line of railroad has been
built, It btu' had the affect to increase the value
of land, on the average, near five dollars per
acre; and as proof of this assertion, I cite the
valleys through which the Delaware, Lacka
wanna, and Western passes. The eastern por
tion of Susquehanna county, and the western
and central portions of Bradford are noticea
ble for similar results. in Susquehanna, the
section named was,previous to the construction
of that work, more isolated than we are at
present, but mark the change that ensued Im
mediately after it was put in operation. Bet
ter cultivation of land ensued, and improve
ments of every kind sprung up along its en
tire length, stimulated by the acuities furnish
ed for the transporting to market of every
kind of product from the laud or forest, invi
ting also the artisans of all trades and occu
pations whose products find an outlet by the
same channel. That we may enjoy the same
advantages along our valley is a fact needing
no argument for Its support, If we will but be
stir ourselves for its itecompliehment. But,
says Mr. A, where is the mosey to be obtained
for the building of this work ? The amount is
so large we cannot raise it along the line. This
may bo an insurmountable fact, but 1 crave
your attention a little while for the purpose of
convincing you that It Is practicable to raise in
our midst the required sum; If every man
along the lme, or within four miles of it, will
consent to give the sum of one dollar per acre
for every acre be owns, or tor which he holds a
deed. To substantiate this assumption, I take
the position that every square mile contains six
hundred and forty acres of land; this, multi
plied by eight, gives five thousand one hundred
and twenty dollars for one mile of the length
of our road. By the report mole by the Treas
urer of the Montrose narrow-guage for the cur
rent expenses for the past year, I learn that the
cost of fitting that lino fur the rails amounts to
four thousand one hundred and eleven dollars
and seventy cents per mile on the ayerage ; this
I suppose coven bridges and ties, but these
Items may be included In superstructure. By
this calculation, we have a sundae of ens thou
sand dollars per mile which will help for loss to
be expected front inability or unwillingness of
the few who will be found easel. to contribute
to this Land. Ido not wish to be undratood
that persons living beyond my stated litalis will
