Mr. Job Gunther was a very methodical
young man. Finding himself the accepted
lover of one of the sweetest girls who ever
wore a switch, and realizing that he hail only
two weeks to be with her prior to an absence
of two months, he felt it to be his duty, not
' only to himself, but to his loved one, to spend
as much of his precious time as lie could in
her company, and so Ito passed two hours and
seventeen minutes every evening in her so
ciety, and before the expiration of the two
weeks he had attained such proficiency in the
art of love that he could kiss almost as well as
you can, my lovely reader.
We left Sarah at breakfast, and as I've no•
thing for her to do for the space of two months
except to read Job's letters and write answers,
you may suppose that she sat at that table for
eight weeks, if you want tn. I don't say that
she did. It Is barely possible that she did not
but as I don't know, I deelhie to say anything
about it, because I coffsider that I sin respon
sible for every statement that I make.
All I know is, that she w•as sitting at that
same table on n certain fine morning, just
about two months from the lime when we Saw
her there before ; and site was eating buck
wheat cakes and maple syrup, and was all
alone, when suddenly the bell rang.
As door•beils generally do ring suddenly,
she wasn't surprised in the least, but her heart
beat violently when site thought that it might
be Job. She knew that he was on the way
home, and he might drop in at any moment.
She rose quickly from her chair (if site had
been sitting there two months, I guess her
joints felt rather stiff) and hurried to the door.
" Why, good morning, Miss Crixy ; walk
right in." .
And so Miss Crixy did walk right in, and
Small handed her a chair and asked her to be
seated.
MIMI
This was Althea. She was n tall, dark com
plexioned woman, with small, black eyes and
a small, thin nose, and a pair of thin, puckered
lips; and she was never known to carry good
news into a house, and, therefore, she never
went into a house unless she had bad news.
"1 teas down to Boston yesterday," said
she, tier small, black eyes twinkling with
great delight.
"Ali, indeed !"
" Yes, I went down to do some shopping.
But whom do you think I saw there ?"
" Why, I'm sure I can't guess. Was it any
one that I know':" asked Sarah.
"A gentleman, or at least I suppose he
calls himself one, though I have my opinion
about that."
It wasn't Mr. Febbs
"You don't mean .Too?" cried Sarah,
opening to their widest extent her hennti•
MI eyes.
" 1 don't mean anybody else," said Miss
Crixy.
"'Then he'll be home to-clay."
" I don't know about that. llc didn't
speak to me. He didn't recognize me in
Boston, though I believe lie does know my
name when he's in Bazoo. Perhaps lie thought
I didn't know him."
" Why, how you talk, Miss Crixy ! Job
isn't n bit proud, and I am sure if he'd seen
Seen me! Why, I spoke to him, and he
looked me right in the face, and then he
blushed and turned away without saying n
word. But the creature that was with him
looked at me sharp enough, and I heard her
ask him who I was."
" You don't mean to say there was n WO
man with him ?" cried Sarah, turning very
red and then very pale.
" Well, I do; and she wasn't a bit too re
spectable either, 'I calculate," said Miss
Crixy.

SLIGHT FAMILY DISTURBANCE
And so these two lovers seated themselves
on the sofa, and she put his head on her breast
and he put one arm around her frame-work,
and clasped her hand in his, and for two hours
and seventeen minutes neither of them moved
a peg, and as their conversation 'was carried
on in the softest kind of whispers, of course I
can't tell you what wits said, and luckily for
my story it makes little difference.
You never knew the Crixy's ? No, I thought
not. There were fourteen in the family—nil
old maids, the youngest, Althea, being thirty
live.
' I believe so," returned Miss Crixy

nr n oslOnli, 1. 1.. -11 •

"G, Miss Crixy, you must have been mis
taken. It could not have been Job, I'm sure.
And with a woman, too ! 0, Job wouldn't
do any such thing."
" 0, well, if you don't want to believe me,
you needn't. I'm sure its nothing to me
what Job Gunther does, or. where he goes, or
what company he keeps. I heard that you
and Job were engaged, and I thought it
would be only kindness to let you know just
what kind of a man lie was. I felt it to be
my duty to put you on your guard, and now
that-I have done my duty, I guess I'll go.,'
"If I was only sure that It was Job," said
Sarah.
"0, I don't suppose it was," cried Miss
Crixy, sarcastically. • " I won't believe my
own eyes. Probably it was some other man,
or perhaps I didn't see any man at all. I
might have known that it couldn't have been
Job; any way. Good morning Miss McKen
zie."
The moment she disappeared, Sarah burst
Into tears. She cried for fifteen minutes, and
this she began to dry her eyes, and com
menced thinking. She had always had the
must unlimited faith in Job, and she couldn't
bring herself to believe at first but that Miss
Crixy had been mistaken. Of course she had
seen somebody, and that somebody must have
looked like Job, but that it was Job she would
not believe. At least she said she wouldn't.
She said so several times, and the more she
said sn the more she did believe.
I am inclined to think that Miss Sarah
McKenzie was not naturally of a jealous dis
position. Like the late Gen. Othello, of Ven
ice, she was "one not easily jealous, but,
being wrought, perplexed in the extreme."
She was most thoroughly perplexed, and the
only way to free herself from her perplexity
Was to go in search of Job. .
But where should she go? If she went to
Boston, she felt that it was very doubtful
about her finding him, even if he was there ;
and he might return to Bazno in her absence,
and—but never mind, she resolved to go.
She arrived in the city about noon, and im
mediately commenced her ;search. I don't
know whether she went to work on the most
approved plan or .not. Perhaps site didn't
have any plan at all. I only know that she
walked up and down all the principal streets
first, and then she went into same of the
more retired ones, and glanced hastily at
every man sheomet as she went along.. And
so she spent the afternoon, and still she had
seen nothing of .rob.
It seas just about six o'clock when Sarah
reached the corner of Y— street. She
didn't know which way to go. She was
tired and discouraged, and began to blame
herself for suspecting Job. I think she was
almost tempted to call Miss' Crixy hard
names ; and she wished that she bad never
left Bszoo on such a fool's errand, at least,
and determined to return home at once.
" I'll go up this.strcet, as I've got plenty of
time, and then I'll en right to the depot,'.'
alto said
It was a very quiet street, as Sarah observ
ed, and the people who lived on it were, to
all outward appearance, very respectable
folks—men with some money, but no nabobs,
who lived 1,,a11mi.11,1y, but made no show in
the
Sarah walked along slowly, glancing care
lessly at the door-plateS, until she bad nearly
reached the upper end of the street, when—
" Gunther, .T. Gunther!' she exclaimed,
rubbing her eyes.
-Yes, there it was, the name staring at her
from the door-plate of the house just before
her.
At this moment a little girl came to the
door, crying " papa I papa !" and the girl
was-0, there was no use in denying It—the
very picture ofJOb ! And, as if to make as
surance doubly sine, at that very Instant a
men brushed by her, ran up the steps, caught
the child in his arms and kissed her; and that
man was—O hevings ! it was, she was sure It
was Job Gunther.
Now, my most beautiful reader, (If you are
of the feminine gender) I should like to ask
you, In confidence, how you would feel, now,
just as you have got everything ready for the
wedding, just as you are about to take your
dear Frederick Augustus for better or for
worse—how would you feel to find that the
beloved one was a married man, and the
father of n family ?
I want }Mu to ask yourself this question,
because in no other way can you realize the
feelings of Miss Sarah McKenzie when she
made the very important discovery mentioned
above.
Miss McKenzie was of a very nervous tern
penunent. I don't know whether I have
mentioned this before or not, but such was
the fact. She was one of that kind of women
who fly all to pieces about once a month,
(she was nut ono of those who take them
selves to pieces every night) and she was just
one of those whom I should rather live with
a week than a fortnight.
I'm fairly ashamed of myself for talking so
about my heroine, but I'll tell the truth, if I
have to spoil the story.
But I want you to understand me. I mere
ly say that Sarah was of a nervous tempera
ment, and I'm sure that's nothing very bad.
She was the most agreeable woman I over
met, without any exception, for a single
evening ; and she was pretty and—but she
would tly. And so she flew now, right up
the steps, through the hall, and into the sit
ting room.
0, must I tell It ? I believe I Will, but my
pen fairly blushes while I write.
There lie was in the arms of the most beau
tiful woman Miss Sarah McKenzie ever saw.
And she was kissing him, and he was kissing
her, while three very interesting children
were gathered around them, screaming at the
top of their little voices, "papa! papa !"
It was really too bad to spoil such a lovely
picture of domestic bliss, considering the
scarcity of such pictures, but Sarah never did
care much about high art, and she was feel
ing exceeding nervous, and so she flew at
Mr. Gunther with a fixed determination to
spoil his " picter," if she couldn't do any
thing else.
0, you scamp !" cried Sarah. fixing her
taper fingers in Mr. Gunther's hair and pulled
out huge handfuls.
Mr. Gunther's , fir.?Vl , l , otAlik 19..1,tb1q she
o ciicn she
him a scamp, he began to
think there must be some mistake.
"0, you villain ! to try to marry an inno-
cent young girl, when you're already mar
ried!" and the hair flew worse than before.
Mrs. Gunther fainted. and the children
screamed.
" W y, woman, you're mad I"yelled Gun
ther. " I don't know you."
"Don't know me I" screamed Sarah.
" Then I'll make you know me !" and again
the hair flew.
But at this moment another actor appeered
upon the scene. He had been reading in the
library, but hearing the racket he had rushed
out to learn the cause.
" Why, what's all this P cried he ; and
then, catching a glimpse of the aggressive
party, " Sarah ! Sarah ! are you crazy."
Sarah stopped suddenly at the sound of that
voice, and looked behind her. Then slfe
looked before her, and then—
" Don't you know me, Sarah h" said Job,
for it was he. a
" Which is which ?" she asked, feeling con
siderably bewildered.
" Why I'm Job," said the newcomer.
"And I'm Joe, or I was a few moments
ago. lint tear my hair out if I know who I
am now," said Joseph.
"And you are not married, Job? asked
Sarah.
" Why of course lam not. I was going to
11117.00 to-morrow for the purpose of marrying
you. But didn't you know, love, that Joe
Wits my twin brother?"
"Yes, I knew it, but I didn't suppose you
looked so much alike, and then I didn't know
that he was living in Boston, and this morn
ing I heard that you were here—Miss Crixy
said she saw you here on the street with a
/ came down to see about it ;" and
Sarah burst into tears.
Well, well. Sarah don't cry. It is all
right now any way. Brother Joe, let me
make you acquainted with the soon.to.be Mrs.
Job Gun;her."
I've met her before," said Joe, who had
Just restored his beautiful wife to conscious
ness.
But he came forward and took her hand,
and said that although he had been the great•
est sufferer he ' would agree to say nothing
about damages, providing Miss McKenzie
would agree to buy him a , wig in case' he
should need one.
"I do agree," said Sarah, quickly drying
her eyes.
" And I will be her bondsman," said Job.
"Well, then, peace and harmony being re
stored, let us go to supper"' and Joe led the
way to the dining room.
It is only necessary to say that there was a
wedding In Bazoo shortly after, and the hap
piest man there was Mr. Job Gunther, and the
happiest woman was his bride.

THE GOLD ROBBER.
It was on a November evening that we all
sat around a cheerful tire after dinner. Uncle
John, who had come home from Australia a
week before, was giving us various bits of in
formation abut the climate, people, &c., in
that favored country. He paused for awhile,
so I asked him : " Couldn't you tell us a story
of your adventures, or some thing that hap
pened to you, uncle ?"
" Well" he answered, "I've had so many
•
adventures, small and great, that It's hard to
pick out one ; but suppose I tell the first that
happened to me. Will that satisfy you ?"
We all declared we should be delighted to
hear It ; so, giving ,the fire a poke, and all of
us drawing nearer the blaze, he began the fol
lowing :
" You know, when I first went to Australia,
there was great excitement about the gold
that was being found in several places ; and,
like a number of people,. I was seized with the
gold mania and went to the diggings. Yon
all know, also, that I was very fortunate there
—but of that I have nothing to say now, as I
am going to tell you what befell me one night
after my arrival at the diggings.
Your uncle Toni, who was with me, was
up the country with an old schoolfellow whom
he had found in the remote region, so I found
myself on this particular night the sole occu
pant of our hut. I had retired to my. ham
mock rather early that night, but I could not
go to sleep, and kept tossing about for a long
time. At last I opened my eyes wide, with
the conviction that sleep was not within my
grasp for that night ; and I began looking
around the hut at such objects as the remains
of the fire made clear enough to be seen. As
I looked around, a dark object in one corner
arrested my attention ; it was in a corner not I
lighted, by the fire, so that I took some mo
ments to make out what it was ; but at last I
came to the pleasant conclusion that there was
some one else in the room beside myself.
"Now, this wasaparticularly inconvenient 1
thing, to say the least-of it; for I knew no
body
personally who lived !theta ua ; but I
knew very well that, as a general rule, they
were a coarse, low lot ofrufflans,a great many
of them convicts, and men who had to fly
from their countries for reasons beet known
to themselves, so you may perhaps form a
slight idea of raw feelings. I knew it was not
my brother, for lie would not be hack for two
days ; beside, why should lie come in so si
lently, and stand there so mysteriously. But
what puzzled me most was how any one could
get there, for I had most carefully fastened
the door before retiring to rest. I thought my
eyes might be deceived, but on looking more
intently at the dark object, I distinctly saw
the outline of a pair of shoulders and one arm,
but it was impossible to see the head or feet,
as the shade was so heavy in the corner.
" Now, in this very corner wo had a chest,
in which we brought various clothes and oth
er necessaries, and in which we meant to put
any gold we might find—l meant; because we
had not got any up to the present time—so I
of course concluded that my visitor was ex
amining this chest with a view to robbery,and
I thought the best thing I could do would be
to remain quiet for the present ; but I spoiled
my plan by turning on my side so as to watch
the robber better, as in doing so I made what
seemed to me a great deal
.of
drawing a revolver, which I always kept un
der my Lead at night, I called out, 'Como for- 1
ward at once and show yourself, or I'll blow 1
your brains opt.' •
" I made as much noise as I could in cock
ing the revolver, so as to give my threat more
weight ; but the gentleman in the corner
seemed to take no notice, for he remained per
fectly quiet. I was undecided what to do till
the thought struck me that the robber might
at that moment be meditating shooting me
front where he was, and this thought made
my blood run cold, for I thought of the friends
and relations I had left at home, and of the
state they would be in when they heard. I had
been shot in Australia ; so I again called out,
I Whoever you are, I'll give you but one
chance ; I'll count three, and If at the third
word you don't come forward, I'll fire.'
"I told you I could hot see the man's head,
so I aimed where I thought it ought to be,
and counted slowly, ' one, two, three I'
" At the word 'three' I fired four shots in
quick succession, for I thought that in almost
total darkness my aim might not be very good;
but they seemed to have taken effect, for when
the smoke e.!eared away, I looked in vain for
my midnight visitor. I could not summon
courage to get up and look for his body ; not
that I wns exactly, afraid, but I had a horrible
feeling for having shed a human being's blood,
which I had never done before, and I firmly
believe I would almost rather have been shot
by the robber than have the fearful thought
on my mind that I had killed him.
" Never did I spend such a dreadful night.
I could not get rid of the one thought of hav
ing deprived a fellow creature of life,, especi
ally while he was in the act of robbing, and
perhaps Intending murder ; but more horrible
than all was the idea that I might possibly
have been the means of sending him to a fear
rful eternity. In vain 1 tried to persuade my
self that it was to save my own life I had done
it ; this seemed to me a poor excuse. How
ever, I at last fell into a disturbed sleep, which
lasted till morning ; but the moment I awoke
the drCadful night recurred to my mind,
although I felt rather more calm. I thought
I had had a horrible dream, but on examining
my revolver I found four chambers discharg
ed. I rose and looked about the room, but in
vain I sought the body of the intruder. This,
however, relieved me greatly, as I thought he
could not have been killed, but only,wounded
and had escaped out of the hut while I was

ed on the inside.
" That day I could not bear to do anything
but sit at my lire and think over my adventure
'and try to solve the mystery, for mystery I
concluded there certainly was ; but I could
come to no satisfactory conclusion with regard
to it.
"The next day my brother came back, but
I thought it better not to say anything about
my visitor to him—at all events, not until I
found out who or what the intruder was.
"That evening I returned to the hut after
my day's work. I had found my first nugget,
which; however, was a very small one, and
was entering the door,. when I saw my
brother sitting on a stool, with a coat across I
his knees, which seethed to perplex him very!
much. When he saw me lie called me, and
asked me if I could account for two holes
which were in the back of the coat lie was
examining. Of course I knew nothing about
them. Ile said he had left the coat hanging
In the corner, and had just found It down
behind the chest, and with those two holes,
which he thought very like pistol .shots,
through the back.
The explanation flashed across my mind
Immediately; my midnight robber., was no
thing also than my brother's coat hanging on
the wall I On examining it further I found
the loop by which it hung , was cut, evidently
by ono of the shots, and this accounts for its
falling.

venture as it seems, I shall never : forget my
night with ''the Gold 'Robber.' "

Really Remarkable Surgical Feat.
Wo have at hand an account of a surgical
feat slightly ahead of anything in that line
lately recorded. It is located at Lafayette,
Indiana. The story is that a seven year old
son of Dr. Wilgus, of that place, while catch
ing up little pigs by the road side, was attack
ed by the 80W and dragged to thci ground.
The old sow held on to the ankle from the
first to the last, and the mangled limb hung
by a pulp of flesh and sinew. From head to
foot the little follow was mangled and bruised.
One entire eye-brow had been bitten off; leav
ing the eye-ball completely exposed. A
wound six inches long on the back of the
head released the scalp, and it was pulled for
ward over the forehead. A terrible bite and
gash in the throat, extending from the car
under the anglo of the jaw exposed the tongue
and windpipe. There was a wound in the
groin, exposing the intestines. Ono ear was
bitten off—a frightful gash in the back below
the shoulder blade exposed the junction of
the ribs with the spinal column. One-half of
his right breast had been bitten off. The loft
arm was mangled above the writ, and the
bone crushed to pieces. In all these there
were thirteen capital Injuries, any one of
which would have been considered serious, if
not fatal. We do not believe the annals of
surgery report a recovery from such a terrible
mutilation. To odd to the complications of
the case, the little fellow had been dragged
about the dirty road in all the trail of blood.
lle was of course unconscious, and supposed
to be dying. Ills father, himself a surgeon of
nerve and skill, called other surgeons to ids
aid, and on the first reaction took a forlorn
hope. The limb was'amputated below the
knee; the crushed arm was shortened by ex
section, two inches or more of the bone being
removed. Tho lost eyebrow was replaced by
bringing down the flesh from the forehead.
The remaining injuries, although serious, re
quired simple treatment. For weeks the lit- •
tie sufferer hovered between life and death
but the tide turned in his favor, and to-day he
is one of the most prominent youths in the
Country.
WHY WOMEN WED
Some close observer of our social relations
having looked about among his married fe
male acquaintances, ventures to give the fol
lowing list, with an attempt to indicate the
real reasons which Influence too many to
marry :
Number one has married for a home. She
got tired of working in a factory, or teaching
school, she thought married life on earth was
but moonlight walks, buggy rides, new bon
nets, and Lothing to do.
Well she got tired of her home, whether or
not she is tired of the Incumbrances this de
ponent ankh not, inasmuch as this deponent
does not positively know.
Number two married because she Mid seven
young sisters and her papa with a narrow in
come. She consulted the interest of her
family. Perhaps she would better have con
sulted her own interest by taking in light
washing, or going out by the day to work.
. Number three married because Mrs. sounded
better than Miss. She was twenty-nine years
and
.eleven months old, and another month
would have transformed her into n regular old
Number four married because she wanted
somebody to pay her bills. tier husband mar
ried for precisely the same reason, so they are
both lamenting at leisure.
Number five married because Fanny White
had a nice husband, and she wasn't going to
be left behind. Pity if she couldn't get mar
ried ns well as other folks.
Number six married because she was poor
and wanted riches. She never counted on all
other things that were inseparable from those
riches.
Number seven married because she would
like to travel. But Mr. Number Seven chang
ed her mind afterward, and all the traveling
she has done has been between the well and .
.back kitchen door.
Number eight married out of spite, because
her first love had taken to himself a second
love ! This piece of retaliation might have
done her good at the time, but In the long run
number eight found It did not pay.
Number nine married because she loved her
husband with all her heart and her soul. And
she loves him,still, and will probably continue
to love him, and is the happiest wife in the
world—so she says.
We have all the right motive at last—one
which, when sanctified by a desire and resolu
tion to improve and elevate each other, and to
live true and holy lives before God, can not
fail to call down the blessings of Heaven.—
But sad is the fate of those who marry from
wrong motives—to escape their share of life's
work, or to get something fur which they have
nothing to give in return.
