read it, laughed and took it ontothe private

I expected. Well, I continued my walk

clergy, I turned about and retraced my
steps to the hotel, not without srmic slight
twinges of concieneo for allowing the
mistake to pass, und takiuir advantage of
it. The remainder of the day was spent
very quietly, as was al'so the eveuiug which
followed.
Jly first du'y the next morning was to
seek some knight- of the razor. I had no
ticed a pleascnt little shop at no great dis
tanee from the bote!, iu my walk the pie
vious day, and thinking that I should do no
better by lookiug further, I repaired to that.
There was iu attendance ouly a b iy of abo-.il
ttlo yearn o! ago, who s'.ated that his
father, the proprietor of the shop, hud gone
to a neighboring city and wou'd not return
before neon. Without any hesitation I
requested the lone of a razor, and proceed
ed to operate on mysu'.f. While thus em
ployed, the customers began to present
themselves, expressing great dissatisfaction
upon lea:niug how matters stood. Now,
although I am a proud man. I am uot, thank
God, cursed with that specious of vanity
which prevents a man from doing certain
kiuds ot honest labor siaiply because they
are not "ger.tecl." Here was an opportu
nity offered for me to, at least, earn the
price of- my breakfrst. I took advantage
of it. Told the first man who ' entered
after I bad completed shaving myselF, that
I would shave him. I did so. Others com-
itig in, I shaved them alio. In fact, I did
quite a bustcess for a couple of hours ; and
if the auloitunate individuals who came
under my hand had nny ioubt about my
fitness for the business, they certaiqly ex.
pressed none. At the expiration of this
time, 1 began tothiuk that I had ddnesuf
ficicnt, and feeling rather hungry, having
had no breakfast, I divided the proceeds
with tha boy, aud prepared to icturu to my
hotel. I5ut I was not doue yet. As I was
brushing my hat, a your.g,dauificd specimen
of huiuauity came in, aud resolving that he
should be the last, I went to noik upon
him. When he came to pay me, I was, to
say the least, somewhat surprised to see him
deliberately paoduce my pocket-book the
one I had lost! Staudtng upon uo cereinc
uy, I snatched it frcm hw hand, aud de
manded, in no gentle tones, how it came iu
his posesston ? Without stopping to reply
other than by a volley of imprecations m
he reached the door, ho tumbled rather
than ran down the stairs into the street
Waitiug for neither hat uor coat, I followed;
tho pocket- book in my hand. We meas
ured off consederable ground iu a. shoit
time. Men, boys, dogs, joined in pursuit;
tho cries oi "stop thief," and the like, grow
ing louder aud incrcasiug. What an up
roar there was ! Suddenly camo a flish of
light, sharp and vivid for an iiutant, then
utter darkness. A policeman had hit me
for the thief, had gently tapped me upon
the head, as their custom is, and with the
uaual result ; the thief escaped, and I the
victim, was appreheuded. My am.earanco
told heavily against uie ; but my story be
ing fully coaruborated by the boy at the
burbar shop, I was released.
CJpon eraiuining the wallet, I found my
own money intact , and about one hundred
aud thirty dollars besido. That is uii the
story.

SOLDIERS IIOMES."
One of tho salleftand mwt humiliating
sights American eyes cau see is that of a
maimed and shattered soldier of tho Union
incapacitated by reason of his wounds from
providing for himself, r"dticorl the neces

preponderance of mou'.hs to be filled is ah
ways vastly in excess of the supply of food

stalwart frame, clad iu the old army blue,
frequently looks up at the passers by, to
ask the alms of which tho poor, piuehed

with a feeling of shame as lie acknowledged
that to that soldier's patriotic devotion to
his cjuutry, and to his woutidj, ho owed a
share of the blessings of free government,
and realized that the hand ol the suppliant
had more nobly and truly earned the right
to enjoy its privileges than himself? And
his services had beeu remind with sears and
