ROMANTIC STORY OF A NEWSBOY
mother fled her home and child, and was di
vorced. Her only brother, a wild but high
spirited youth, shocked at his mother's con
duct, pat to sea in a merchant vessel engaged
in tile China trade. The vessel perished, and
the crew were never more heard of: Her
father, whose sole heiress she now was, sent
the young lady to a fitshionable boarding
school (it was the year that the rebellion e,nn
menced) where she remained until the csim
pletion of her eighteenth year. She had
learned toeing, dance, play, and dress fashion
ably, and was well acquainted with the names
or natures of patriotism, beneficence, social
duty or moral responsibility ; and life seemed
to her a gorgeothi banquet. She went to
Washington with friends, hoping to .captivate
some young and brave, affluent and noble
man, in toe career"of fashionable life, when
she was met by the perambulating Boston
newsboy, who proved himself as shrewd in
love matters as he had bee in buviness af

It is unnecessary to add that the intelligent
glances of n pair of the handsomest hazel ryes_
in the universe reached down into the palpi.

to make a long story short, the epistolary cor

mail.bags between a certain nniet town in
Maryland and the Boston post office was in
creased, nor was it diminished until the „ two
souls with 'map single thought, two hearts
that beat as one," were ninth: man an I wife.
The happy event. occurred on Washington's
birthday, in this city. The your; man says
he owes his success in life thus far to a diligent
attention to business, honesty, goaheaditive

bit of history.
RETRIBIrfoN
.1 Terrible irtll . llilly et,' It.tilrowl Mier.•. What
They May Expert.
At length, through the workings of Provi
dence, the perpetrators of series of long•con
tinned robberies have been partly brought to
light, and one of their number to a terrible
end. The Reading Railroad has, for months
past, been annoyed by thieves, who have, al.
most nightly, robbed the freight cars of the
different trains, and completed their work in
so deft a manner as to entirely elude the or
!leers of the road.
As late as Friday night last a train was
boarded and robbed or a lot of calicoes. inns
lins, etc., and part of the goods were tbund
in the neighborhood of Bridgeport, where
they had been temporarily left by the thieves.
This led to a search being made, and near by
in an old spring house, were found the rest of
the goods. A wateli was then placed at this
particular point of the road, and on Saturday
night one of the thieves was detected in an
entirely unexpected manner.
A freight train bound up had run on a aid
ing, when utter awaiting the passage of a down
train, it moved on to the main track. Shortly
afterwards the watchman found the body of a
man, cut completely in twain, hissing evi
dently just been run over.
The remains were banded over to the 'Nor
ristown authorities. and on theirheing search. d
there was found a warrant issued by the c, m
milting magistrate at the Central Station, in
Philadelphia. From this it was inferred that
the unknown unfortunate was a detectve of
had been killed on the Heading itadrwu., near
Norristown. Knowing that something was
wrong,Chief Kelley at once detailed Detective
Lukens to investigate the case, and the latter
immediately proceeded to Norristown. Ar
riving there and viewing tic body, he saw
through the whole mystery.
The deceased was no other than the notori
ous Hobert Sharp, better known as Bob Sharp,
at one t hue the proprietor of Buck Hall, No.
333 Shippen street, a nozorions dance-house
and thieves resort. Detective Lukens ex
plained the matter to the authorities and gave
orders for the arrest of any parties who should
claim the body. Ile then teturned to Phila
delphia, and set a trap for the capture of the
rest of the gang.
Sharp's friends getting wind of the acci-
dent, one of them was detailed to recover the
hotly, and to this end George Wilson, alias
Woodie, proceeded to Norristown and asked
for the body of Hobert. Walker, saying he had
been sent after it by Mrs. "%Volker. Ile was
of course at once taken into custody. Ott his
head was a hat of the style called "Shoo Fly,"
and one of a case that had been stolen some
time no. Mc sudden arrest of Wilson gave
the rest of the gang warning, and they have
all fled. If is now -known that the rest hold
the keys which open the cars. It is supposed
that Sharp was about committing another theft
when he met his death. Wilson will be tried
at Norristown.
TILE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
In relation to the Mordnunt divorce case
correspondent of the New York Herald writes:
Whatever may be the upshot of this trinl;.it:
must prove the sowing of seed from which a
bad harvest must be respell, not only by those
nearest concerned, but also by the English
aristocracy in general:
The Queen, I was told yesterday by one of
her lords in waiting, is almost out of her mind
that the Prince of -Wales should be mixed up
in any way with such an aiTalr, Perhaps I
am wrong, but I cannot help thinking that
Lady Mordaunt's family have behaved inju
diciously in this matter. If she is proved not
to be insane, the whole alikir will have to be
entered bto again before the Divorce Court, •
in order to prove that she was guilty of adul
tery. If she is' mad, the evidence already
given—and I have reason to know that worse
'is yet behind—will not prove her to be WWI,
whatever the poor girl was once, that any
man would wish one of his female relatives to
be. Nor can I see how Sir Charles Mordaunt
could have behaved otherwise than he did.
An I ant about to close my letter the reports of
to-day's proceedings in the Divorce Court
have reached me. The only item of note is
the collection of letters front the Prince of
\Vales to Lady Mordannt, in wnich, although
familiar, there is certainly nothing criminal.
I have made mention of the •' fast" and the
'slow" sets of people iu "society" here. I
am told—and I hope for the credit of England
It is true—that a great number of noblemen
and gentlemen of the slow" set have resolved
neither to allow their wives and daughters to
go out to court, nor to go there themselves, if
the drawing rooms are held by the Prince of
\Vales—that is, provided he is fofind to be
guilty in this matter. That there is sonic four
dation for this I have not the least doubt ; and
my reason for saying so Is that the Queen has
moved to Windsor sonic two months earlier
than usual, this year, and it is given out that
she intends to receive at the drawing rooms
herself this season. How different is the
present state of of at the English Court
from the days when--in 1845 or '464.1te offi

NO.II
ANECDOTE OF HANDEL.
Handel was ono of the most humorous of
mortals, and at the same time one of the most
irritable. His best jokes were perpetrated fre
quently during his most violent bursts of pas-
Rion.
Having occasion to bring out one of his ora
tories in a provincial town of England, he be
gap to look about for such material to com
plete his orchestra and .chorus as the place
might afford. One and another was recom- ,
mended, as usual, as being a splendid singer
a great player and so on. After a while; such
as were collectable were gathered in a room,
and after preliminaries, Handel made his ap
pearance, puffing, both arms full of menu,
scripts. "Gentlemen," quoth he, "you all
rend manuscripts r". Yes, yes," responded
from all parts of the room. "We play in the
church," added an old men behind a violin
.cello. " Very well, play dis," said Handel,
distributing the parts.
This done, and a few explanations deliver
ed, Handel retired to a distant *part of the
room to enjoy the effect. The stumbling,
fumbling and blundering that ensued is said
to have been Indescribable. Handel's send
tive*ear and impetuous spirit could not long
brook the insult, and clapping his hands to
his ears, lie ran to the old gentleman of the
violiticallo, and shaking his list furiously at
the terrified man and the instrument, said :
"You blay in the church I very well you may
blay in de church ; for we read, De lord is
long suffering, of great kindness, forgiving in
iquity, transgression and sin ; you sal blay in
de church, but you sal not blay for me I" and
snatching away his manuscripts,• he rushed
Out of the room, leaving his astonished per
tormers to draw their min conclusions.
A FEW FOLLIES
To think the more the man eats, the fatter
and stronger he will become.
To believe the more hours the children study
at scliobl, the faster they learn.
To conclude that if exercise is good for the
health, the more violent and exhausting it is
the mere good is done.
To imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an how gained.
To commit an act which is felt in itself to be
prejudicial, hoping that somehow or other it
may be done in your case with impunity.
To eat without an, appetite, or to continuo
to eat after it has been satisfied, merely to
gratify the taste.
To eat a hearty supper for the pleasure ex
perienced during the brief time it is passing
down the throat, at the expense of a whole
night of disturbed sleep, and a weary waking
in the morning.
To remove a portion of the clothing imme
diately after exercise, when the most stupid
draytnan knows that if he does not put a cov
er on his horse the moment he ceases work in
the winter, he will lose him in a few days by
pneumonia.
To presume to repeat later in life, without
injury, the indiscretiOns, exposure, and intern•
perence which in the flush of youth were prae
ticed with impunity.
To "remember the Sabbath day" by work
ing harder and later on Saturday than any
oilier day in the week, with a view of sleeping
late next morning, and staying home all day
t rest, conscience being quieted by the plea
" 1.- zi d Al l )
As this subject has occupied much attention
in Allentown we Insert the testimony of a
writer who describes the, present appearance
of the place where languages got mixed:
"After a ride of nine miles, we were at the
foot of Bier-Nimrod. Our horses' feet wore
trampling upon the remains of bricks which
here and there showed through the accumula
ted dust and rubbish of ages. Before our eyes
uprose a great mound of earth, barren 'and
bare. This was Bier-Nimrod, the ruins of the
Tower of Babel, by which the first builders of
the earth bad vainly hoped to scale high heav
en. Here, also, it was that Nebuchadnezzer
built, for bricks bearing Lis name have been
found in the ruins. At the top of the mound
la great mass of brick-work pierces the accumu
lated snit: With your finger you touch the
very bricks—large, square-shaped, and mas
sive—that were thorougly burned, the very
mortar, now hard as granite, dandled more
than .1,000 years ago by earth's impious peo
ple. From the summit of the mound, far
away over the plain, we see glistening the
glide I dome of a mosque, reflecting the bright
rays of the morning sun. This was the tomb
of - the holy Ali. To pray before this at some
period of his life ; to kiss the sacred dust of
the earth around there at some time or other ;
to bend his body and count his beads, is the
daily desire of every devout Mohammedan."
SUCCEHRFUL ROAD STEAMEIO3.—It seems
that the plan of covering the driving-wheels
of a steam omnibus with a thick tire of India
rubber has been found to obviate some of the
most serious objections to using steam • for
locomotion on common roads, and steam wa
gons with this improvement are no'w manu
factured in England. The London Meehan;
is Magazine thus notices the operation of this
new locomotive ; On Saturday last there was
seen on the streets of Leith aWouderful team,
of mechanism. It consisted of a 10. horse
power road steamer with two companions of
equal size in tow to the docks for shipment.
To thos ,, whq have been in the habit of seeing
heavy machinery dragged along, by some 10
or 18 , horses, and who have' witnessed the
kicking, plunging, swearing, and uproar,
which invariably accompany such undertak
ings, it must have been
. pleasant to observe
the qiuet smile on the driver's face LL9 helailent
ly picked his way along the street. Although
the roadeAcre iu the worst possible condition,
being thick with greasy mud, the journey to
the ship's crane was effected so smoothly and
easily that it did nut offer a oda& incident
for description. MI that can be said of it Is
that it was the simplest performance In the
world. The road steamer which was cting age
tug to its two mates, was exhibiting its maiden'
efforts, as it had only just been completed and
had never been out before. It is it 10 horse
power edgine, nominal, but can develop up
