They beat mil the aunts in creation ; ' Thev 1st a chap do as he likes, " And don't worry about education. . . I'm sure I can't see it at all, ' What a poor fellow ever could do '- For apple "d pennies and cake, r 7 Without a grandma or two. - : i '-r brsndmothers speak softly to njn'f" T lt a boy have a good time ;"'J " metime they will whisper,.

For grandmothers all have to die. 0,oite often as twilight comes on, Grandmothers sing hymns very low, To themselves, as they rock by the fire. About Ileaven, and when they shall go. I wish tfcey could stay here and pray. For a boy noeds their prayers every night, Home boys more than others, I S'pose, ' Such as I, need a wonderful sight. I'. 'J THE BLUE VEIL. "Look out for Lizzie in blue veil, by six . 31, train. Fbed. "A dollar and twenty cents, sir, and sign your name in the book," said the boy from the telegraph office. "A dollar and twenty cents, sien my name iu tie book !" I repeated stupidly ; "but this telegram isn't for nie." ' Tea, Hir. It is sent to 3Ir. Charles Ches ter, at the Lakeville House, Lafceville.N. Y. There Ls no other Mr. Chester in Lakeville, to you must be the man. All right, sir. The telegram has just come, and it was so near six that they sent me around with it in hurry. It ha3 been delayed somewhere io coming from New York;-but the fault wasn' t at our office." . Lizzie could it be Lizzie Clare, or was it one of Mrs. Stowell's handsome daughters? Bat there was no time for surmises. I paid tlie boy. snapped tho lock of my valise, and drove "hurriedly to the depof, duly to look out far Lizzie, aud take the night train west. The New York express line had already ar lived, and the iron horse was snorting his impatience to be off. Passengers were crowding intohe cars, baggage was raUhnz ly, the bcir was ringing where was Lizzie ? At length, near the door of the ladies' room, looking uneasily around her, I espied a lady wearing the identical blue veil. "Is this the Lizzie whom I am to meet?" I vestured to ask, groanine in spirit at the iuorance in which I had leen left regard ing mv other cognomen. "Oh ! yes. And this Taust be Mr. Ches ter. I nurmo.se. You knew me by my blue veil, did you not ? Fred said that would be a sufficient signal. You are very kind to take chsrtre of me. I was fearful that you would find the care of a lady a ereat burden on a night journey : but Fred insisted that you would not mind it. if you took the trou ble for him. So here 1 am, as you perceive. Are not the cars about starting?" "I have time to see to your baggage," I mana rp in sav. "(Jii! thank you; but Jrred had itnecK- T - mm. "W 1 ed through, and bought my ticket rieht." " It is all I knew it was all wrong ; but what bach elor of two-and-thirty would decline to escort a charming Lizzie in a blue veil, thus tnys teriouslv committed to his protection ? We had just a minute and a half in which I . . . X . . ,M w seeure our seats ere tne western iram m off, and my companion uttered a very con tented murmur of satisfaction as we slowly teamed out of the depot. '"Oh ! I was fearful that you would not U btre to meet me, Mr. Chester," she said, ' aud I dreaded to undertake the journey lone." ; "It is a long journey," I replied, with a faint hope that I might tempt her to men tion her destination. ""Very long," she answered, demurely. A call of the conductor revealed the fact that the lady was going to Cleveland. My ticket had been purchased for Cincinnati, previous to the reception of that bewilder ing telegram, and I thought with some sat isfaction that I could stop at Cleveland, if I pleased, without any change of route. As we rode alomr. I scanned my traveling companion as closely as I dared ; but only a wgeestioti of bright eyes, ruby lips, and a dazzling complexion reached me through the Wue veil. "I think we have never met until to day," I remarked, hazarding an observation which might or might not frove to be correct "Oh! no; but I have heard Fred speak of you so frequently that I do not feel as if e could be strangers long." " , She smiled, and put up her blue reiL V it h he veil lifted, she looked somewhat older than I had expected. . I had fancied she was seventeen, but she now appeared seven-and-twenty. Yet she was so fair, so dazzlingly "white witk ova : which matched the blue f her veil that I forgot the question of in speculating on the possibility ot her being near-sighted. Seated by that radiant Tision, I became speedily conscious of my Tough coat and shabby man-ot-business as Fet, and while I secretly vowed an amend Taertt for all future time, in various particu lars, I hoped that' she might not prove too lirnfl?vA. ;rttfir ftfmVna 99 marked my fair eoruDanion. "My trunk was nearly packed, and I expected to leave on next Monday, and travel alone ; but when Fred heard that you were going to take the evening train, he telegraphed to you im mediately, and hurried me off. " . . "Ah ! Fred," thought I, "it seems to me I have you now. It s just like gay Fred Dalrymple to surprise one with such a tele gram, all in the dark, and this must be his sister Lizzie,: She is going -to Cleveland to yioit Robert and his wife ; and Fred, hear ing that I was to start on my trip to-night, sent his sister along, in my care, without any ceremony.' : ' " ; v.. The mystery was explained, and with a lighter . heart I turned to the young lady, stimulated by this discovery to make myself desperately agreeable".-. -. ''How is your dear Jenny?" suddenly in quired my comrade of the blue veil. - "My dear Jenny ! ' ', mused I. - "Oh ! yes ; sister Jane, I presume she means." .."Sheis very well," I replied. . ''We have so often exchanged messages with our love, through the medium of your correspondence with- Fred, that I leel quite well acquainted with that dear Jenny," .Mr. Chester." tt. t ... . "Humph!" I said to myself, ''jut ke Fred Dalrymple to forget to deliver his sis ter's messages, and then to invent re plies to satisfy her questions and cover his negli gence." ... - . :,. -. , :! And do tell me sometning aooui mat baby," continued Fred's sister. "You need not be airaid or praising it w mc, im ju know we ladies always take a lively interest in babies." ' To be sure ! "I would irladlv gratify you if it were pos sible," I replied ; "but, to own the truth,l seldom take much notice of the b:iby race." As if I should believe you in this par ticular instance !" returned my interlocutor, gaily. "Why, somebody told Fred that you burned the gas all night, on purpose to see how cunning that wonderful baby looks when asleep." "Me !" i exclaimed in horror. ' "Yes. You need not deny it," said she. "I can readily understand that bashfuluess conceal your raptures. Of course it is nam ed for you?" It happened that sister Jenny's youngest child had been christened Charlie in honor of his bachelor uncle, and so I answered that her supposition was not in corrects.--, "When I see Jenny I shall feei it my du ty to tell her what heartless indifference you have feigned in regard to that baby ; but you cannot impoe upon me," said the own er of the blue veil. "I shall acquit you of possessing any of the old bachelor noncaa lenee with which you have tried to veil your interest." "You must nrtt expect to manufacture a baby worshipper out of an old bachelor," I said, iestinglv. , . "Oh, no; but young fathers are not sucu sublime savages as you would try to have me me believct" " "Gracious! what can i-he mean? was my silent ejaculation. " As she did not seem inclinW to rally me further, we fell into quiet converse rH" com-nicn-place themes, very much as if we had been a half dozen years acqu linted. "We sre to ride all night," I sail finally, "and ought I not to secure a berth for you in the sleeping car? I uotice that you seem verv much fatigued. . "I am weary, but I detest those sleeping cars." . . "So do I the same," wa3 my hearty re joinder. . , . " "Really and truly?" she asked, with some incredulity. "I fancied that I ought to take one on your account, to release you from the pen ance of sitting up in these hard seats all night But it would a prreat pleasure to me, if you could be as comfortable, to have you accept my shawl, and my arm tor a pil low, and make yourself cozy for the night." "D.t von think that Jenny will not object to my accepting such a service of you ?" she &ked sweetly. "Certainly, Jenny will not object," I as sured her. . I would gladly have added that Jenny would not object, on some future day, to be presented with a sister-in-law wearing a blue vA;i hnt T hardlv dared to hazard the sug- rfsr';.-n w h-ile our acquaintance was still of t a date. She took off her bonnet a dainty bit of millinery which I regarded with a species of silent awe, and scarcely ventured to put it i-i the rack above us. Then the blue veil was tied over her curls, and resting her head upon my shoulder, the beauty was soon But I, Charley Chester, could not sleep too many visions were hauntiYig me. . Wa this reallv Fred Dalrymple s Lizzie? Would I ever see her again after this jour- i - n A 111 4 .ill r n 1 1 (in i iiiii.nl uciiciaic .ntinin? sneculation of all, could 1 ever hope to take to myself the hie-long burden of lookins out for Lizzie in a blue veil? Tk r,;ht ruvi nast in these delicious rev eries. When we were within a few miles of Cleveland mv fair charire awoke. -"Ti rnn TOitfitX ?" I inouired "Oh! very much. You are exceedinly Tcind tr Thavf taVpn such care of me. Fred tnA n4t that .Ipnnv's husband Would be most Hpsirable esonrt. but I find that he snaraplv tnA me half the truth." Jennv'a husband ! It struck me dumb. So I was Jenny's husband, was I? "Neither shall I believe, after year gen tleness and attention to me, that you can be as indifferent to your baby as you would try in have me think. My baby ! The woman was adding insult tn ininrv ! First a wife ani then ababy be stowed on me,at five minutes notice, as if they were the most cvery-uay anairsm me woria. 'T think we must be near Cleveland," iwintlnnoil mv companion, arranging her I tonirU anuria, and Duttioe ou her bonnet. xsaaa at J . I "It is possible that my husband may be at the depot to meet me, and relieve vou of any further trouble on my account. If he is not there, I shall only ask you to put me in a coach and send me home unless, indeed, I can prevail upon you to stop over one or two trains in Cleveland and visit us. My husband would be delighted to have you. Why will you not be content to do so?" ' Not Fred Dalrymple's sister, after all ! I muttered something in reply. I know not what, but she took it as a refusal to accept her hospitality, and continued - 'And if you cannot or will not stay wih us now, I want you to promise that you will come soon. and bripg dear Jenny and the ba by, and make us a Ions visit." ' The cars stopped. We had reached Cleve land, and the ensuing bustle relieved me from the necessity of replying. I assisted her to aligJit, and consigned her to the arms f a tall bearded fellow, who kissed dear ' Liczie before my very eyes ! " "And this is Mr: Chester Fred's friend. you' know, Harry." Harry rolled hiseyes around. but evidently did not recognize me, and said nothing. 1 Fred received letter from Mr. Chester, saying he would be in Lakeville on business on Tuesday, and would take charge of me if I would meet him at the evening train, so Fred telegraphed to him to look out for mo, and here I am, very much obliged for his care and tccort. "But where is he all this time?', asked ihe husband, -impatiently. "Hang the veil ! There is some mistake here," I exclaimed, pulling out the teleeram as a voucher for me. "I am Charles Ches ter, ot Lakeville, at your service. " I reside in Lakeville. and I received this dispatch yesterday. I took charge of this lady as well as I knew how, and though I could not satisfactorily decide who she niight be, or by whom committed to my care,it is only with in half an hour I have discovered that I, myself, was not -the Charles Chester who should have been on the 4 look out for Liz- V.lf : 11 :i I' in a uiue veil i Thev started. They read the telegram. The oddity of the mistake bewitched us all, and they took me home with them to laugh it over when they found that no Jenny was awaiting me at my journey's end. And, as "all's well that ends well," let me tell you that my young wife,to-dav, is Lizzie's sister, and equally partial to a blue veiL A'Rat. A very extraordinary encounter be tween a rat and an elephant has recently ta ken place at the Garden of Plants in London, wh:?h was witnessed with interest by hun dre ls of persons. . The keepers were engaged in destroying a great number of rats, when one escaped and ran to the place allotted to the elephant Seeing n other refuge, in the twinkling of an eve tho rat snugly ensconced himself m the trunk of the elephant, very much to the elephant's dissatisfaction. -He stamped his feet and twisted his trunk around like the sail of a windmill. After these evolutions, he stood suddenly still, evidently considering what was best to do. If .' then ran to the trough where he is accustomed to drink, and plunged his trunk into the water, then returned to his den,an l raising his trunk, with the water he absorb ed he dashed out the unfortunate rat which was in a sneet or wacer hkb ium i"uis from an engine. When the rat fell o the eround, the elephant seized him, and made hitu undergo the immersion and projection four times. At the fourth throw it fell dead. The elephant, with a majestic air, hut cool and placid, crushed his annoying httiA pnmiv with ms loot, and then went. collection of cakes, sugar and other dainties. The feat wis received with vociferous ap plause, which the elephant seemed luliy to understand and appreciate. Or.D Grimes sot Dead. C. L. Shull.of Montpi'ier. Indiana, in a letter, denies that old Grimes i-s dead, and says: A few davs aeo I visited an old Revolu tionary soldier by the name of Girmes, liv ing in ells countv, Indiana, wlio says mat his age is 1 13 years. lie entered the Amer ican array at the beginning of the struggle, and served with honor through the war, was under the immediate command or irenerai Wacliinortim nnd narticinated in aftnost verv enffaffement ioucni oy tae ratuer "his Country. His health is trood, his senses all perfect, and he labored in thc harvest field last vear; is not on the pension list, his papers having been djstroyed by firemany yeaTS ago. ms wne is aiso living, ai advanced'age of 109 years, enjoying good health;" . , , It would seem strange if, after all, Father Grimes is not dead, but perhaps continues to wear his "old gray coat, all buttoned down before." At any rate himself and wife are able specimens of longevity. Alwats tell theTrtjth. The ground work f all manly characters is veracity, or the habit of truthfulness. That virtue lies at the foundation -of everything said. How common it is to hear parents say, "I have faith in mv child so long as he spraks the truth. He may have faults, but I know he will not deceive. I build on that confi dence." They are right. . It is lawful and just ground to build upon. So long as the truth remains in a child, there is some thing to depend on ; but when truth is gone, all is lost, unless the child is speedily won back again to veracity. Children, did you ever tell a lie ? If so, you are in immi nent danger. Return at once, little reader, and enter the stronghold of truth, and from it you may never depart agairx : "Won't yo take half of this poor apple?'' said a pretty damseL "No, 1 thank you , would prefer a better half." Eliza blushed and referred him to her papa. The night-mare is now politely termed the "nocturnal horse of the feminine gender. A Conscientious Lawyer. . The Danville (N. Y.) Repress tells a cap ital story connected with a promineut law yer of that village, who has distinguished himself in the defense of criminals, as well as in connection with other trials, having frequently, through his skill, 'aided the most hardened criminals to escape from justice. Some time ago, while he was attending court in an adjoining eouuty, he was applied to by a singular bpeciiuou of humauity charged with grand larceny, to defend him. The lawyer very naturally inquired what crime he was accused ot. The party ac cused replied that somebody had been mean enough to charge him with stealing $150 iu bank uotes, and had got him indicted. " "Are you guilty?" asked the lawyer. I hat 8 none of vour business, renlied the accused. "Thev say that makes no dif ference with you; whether a man is guilty or not, you will contrive to dig him out some way. So don't talk any more about the guilt till you hear what the jury says." n eil, what about the nav; sail the lawyer. iou just hold on till the trial is over; give Jj (the complainant) h 1 on the cross-examination, and that other fellow he has got to back him up, aud you 11 have no trouble about the pay." ; The trial commenced aud proved to be a somewhat exciting and protracted oue. The District attorney proved that the money in question was composed of two $50 bills on a certain bank, and the remainder all in $10 bills, all ot which were wrapped np in a piece of oil silk. The jury, after listening to the counsel in the case, and receiving the charge of the Judge, retired, and soon re turned with a verdict ot not guilty. The accused, who was greatly elated with the resu't of his trial and the effort of his coun sel, invited the latter into one of the vacant jury rooms. As soon as they were alone lie slapped his counsel on the shoulder, and ex claimed : . "Free as water, ain't I? What's the use of trying a man for stealing when you are around? Now I suppose you want your pay?" "Yes; have you got anything to pay with ?" aid the lawyer. "Lend me your kuifeand we'll see about that" - . . The lawyer, slightly startled at such a proposition, rather reluctantly complied. 'lhe accused ltnoieawtMy-couimencea rip ping and cutting away at . the waistband of his pantaloons, and soon produced the roll of bills for the stealinff of which he had just been tried, wrapped up in the identical piece of oil silk described by the witnesses for the prosecutiou, and .throwing if down on the table before the astonished lawyer, exclaimed: "There., take your pay out of that ; I guess there is enough to pay you tolerably well." "Why, you villain ! you stole that mcnej' after all," said the lawyer. "Do you expect I can take any of -that money?"- "Stole that money! Didn't them twelve men up stairs there just nay I didn't steal it? What's the use of trying to raise a question of conscience after twelve respectable men have given their opinion on the subject? Take your pay out of that and ask no ques tions. Don't be modest in taking ; I got it eas3r enough, and you've worked hard enough for it" Our informant does not state how much the lawyer took, but we presume the chap didn't have much change left after our friend had satisfied his "conscience" in the premises. Dox't be Extravagant If the poor house has any terrors for you, never buy w i"" uou i. iwa Before you pay three cents lor a jewaharp, my boy, ascertain it you cannot make just as loud a noise by "whistling, for which nature furnishes the machinery ; and, before you pay seveaty five dolUrs for a coat, young" man, find out wbether your lady would not be just as glad to sea you in one that coat half tho money. If she would not, let her crack her own ha z!e nuts and buv her own clothes. When you see a man spending two or three dollars a week foolishly, the chances are two to one that he'll live long onough to know how many cents there are in a dollar ; if he don't he's pretty sure to bequeath that privelige to his widow. When a man asks you to buy that for which you have no use, no matter how cheap it is,don't say yes "until you arc sure snmp .in f;lse Wants it m auiauw. Money burns in some folks pockets, and makes such a bi hole that everything that is put in drops through past holding. The mystery of the dead bodies, found at the Graud Trunk llailway depot, has been unraveled. Dr. Madden, the resident phy sician of the county poor house, confessed to have packed the bodies for Ami Arbor, Michigan, to accommodate the Medical Uni versity there. ' An. old bummer in the gutter, one cold night, was seen holding his feet up to the moon, and ejaculating to some invisible per son, "pile on the wood it's a miserable cold fire I" . , . . - "How does that lookr.' said Mr?(Crainj, holding out his brawny, hand.
