JOSSSY'S OPINION OF GRANDMOTHERS.-'
Grandmothers are very nioe folks.
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

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.

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

lars, I hoped that' she might not prove too

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

Cleveland mv fair charire awoke.
-"Ti rnn TOitfitX ?" I inouired

most Hpsirable esonrt. but I find that he

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.

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-

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.

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

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

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.

Before you pay three

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
