of that, was 'I not ? Yes, been in

a young fellow, and recollect my
Alice, and I recollect her as I loved
her when she Was very young, and as
I love her now. I think she could do
anything but drink and smoke or tell
an untruth, or do. a wrong action Her
face was a sweet oval face;, her hair a
very dark brown, nearly black; and
her eyes a deep blue, full - of merri
ment at one moment, ay, at all moments,
except when she. beard .a. sad story or
was touched 'with pain for any ono
else, and then they grew deeper as
they filled with tears. Not for herself:
She never cried , for herself that' I
know of, for she 'never had a day's
illness. But she wits terribly cut up
when'her brother died, and that you
see was how I knew her.—Her , brither
was my tight-handed man in my com
pany. Many'S the time he stood
shoulder to shoulder to me, good at
drill, good of song—g6o at anything.
He used 1,() ive_ neat the coasti- awl, in

his tent felloirs' and his'chum:
Well, ho knew people that I knew,
and we were soon Mende; and ho took
me home to see Alice. He was always
talking about her, and she about him;
and when he was, there, scarce a look
did she give me.'. Her brother—his
name was Joe, and mine Coo—could
do everything; and was the be all and
end all of the world, I used , to. think;
and so one day I tried -to run with Joe,

I ran around a little creek to the

A faint voice came up and I could see
-the-poor-fellow— struggling---umler ---- a
huge piece,of chalk which seemed to
-be holding him doivn in agony. He
smiled in a ghastly way, and said.
"Run, ,Joe, sun ! the tide's coming in !"
' Well, I did run, and we got - ropes

taking away his breath and then run
ning back, crawling over . Lim and
leaving babies of salt foam, as if in
sport. I got him out, but he could
not stand. Some bones were broken
and lie was badly bruised. so - that I
was forcedto tie him to a rope, and
and Shay - lurid him up, and we took
him home:
Well, well, to make - a long story
short, poor Joe died, with • my praise
on . his Lips. and Alice bowed her head
like a broken lily. It was along time
before she got over it, and summer-had
grown into winter, and winter to slimmer
summer to autumn, and to winter again.
The threatened invasion was all over;
our swor. s were getting rusty; our
uniforms dirty, and when the holidayit
came I left the firm in which I was a
partner, and went to spend a fortnight
- at.my old _friends in Kent.
Alice was there, well and cheerful
now, and reconciled to her loss, though
we often talked of poor, : Joe, and as
the days wore on we grew close to
gether, and she called me by my name,
and seemed to have transferred her
brother's love to me. She never told
me-so-orlet-otherstee-it i -till-one-merry-
Christmas night, when she rejected all
her cousins and her other_ friends; and
Would 'thi ly with Me.
We had the-misletoe, too. It hilt
one madcap fellow propoiMd that the
ladies should kiss the gentlemen all
around when and how they could; and
Alice should play, too; and she,
,in a
solemn, quiet wi . ty,' Birdied sadly, and
yet sweetly too, took me beneath the
Christrims . bough, and kissed me on
the lips.
Ay, it's many years ago, but I feel
'lt new. My heart beat Q 0 fast that I
hardly darereturn, it; but.-I._ put my
arm around her and took her gently by
the bay window of the old hall; saying-,
as I pressed her 'hand, "Alice, dear
Alice, did you mean that kiSs I"
Well, l_need not tell you what she
answered. „"Pis fifty years ago, flit •
years ago ! and 1 am surrounded by
Alice's dear,grandchildren, and there
is one, a little thing with light and
golden hair that will deepen into brown,
who plays around my knees and tells
me her little stories, her sorrows, and
her joys; so quick, so hurried_in_their
coining and their. going that they are
like my own, add as we talk, we grow
quite friends and companions, •as my
Ali • • .
- Bless you, she understands it all.
She is% woman in her pretty' ways;
her poutings, pettings and quarrelings.
Sli manages her household of one
wax dull and tno•wooden ones, and
tells me, for the wax-doll is the lady
and the two wooden ones are servants
in mob caps a n d '•sttiff gowns, when
they gossip with a wooden policeman,
who belongs to her brother, little Joe.
So we are fast friends, little Alice
and I; and to night, Christmas night,
I noticed she would 'not dance or play
with the pink and shiny faced little
boys who wore unnaturally tidy : and
clean iu their new knickerbockers,
'with red stockings, but she came and
sat by me, and' talked softly in the tire
light as. Alice did; and made me think
of fifty years ago. And only din&
how old• times come back and new
times, like the old; only just think
-that when her mother told her she
should choose .a sweetheart, she got
little bit of misletoe, 'and climbing
slyly on 'my knee, and holding me in
talk, .aseif to hide her purpose, though
LgueSsed it soon. I toll you, she
put her little-doll like arm , around my
neck, end holding the misletoe above
my head she kissed me again 'mid
again, 'and said rims her B,iveotheart.
• So this child-sweetheart brdught tie
old times baek-`-the times that are
still so distant and so near; and the
sweet kiss 'neath the rustling leaves
made me think of my dear Alicia, in
the grave.

A FORTUNATE KISS
Tile following pretty little story is
narrnted by Frederika Bremer, who
youches for its truthfulness :
In the University- of UpSala, in
Sweden, Jived a yoting student, a noble
youth, with great kive for studies, but
without means for pursuing them. He
was poor—and wtihnut connections.—
Stilt ho stpdied, lived in great Poverty,
but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying
to look ai the future which looked so
griiu to' him. • His gdod humor and ex
cellent•qualities wade him beloved by
his comrades., One day he wets stand
ing at the square with some. of them,
prattling away an hour of leisure, when
the attention of the young men was ar
rested by a Young and elegant lady,
who, by the -side-of an older one, was
slowly walking over the place. it was
the daughter of the Governor of tip
sala, living in the city, and the elder
lady was her governess. • She was gen
-erally•known for her goodness and her
gentleness of character,- and looked at
with admiration by all the students.
As the yowlg men stood gazing at her
as she passed likp peaceful vision, ono
of them suddenly — exelaimed :
" Well, it would be worth something
to have a kiss from such a mouth !"
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who looked on thin pure, angelic
face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration :
‘• Well, I think-I could have it!"
" ,Well!" cried his friends in chorus,
" are you crazy Do you know her?"
" Not at all," he answered ; " but I'
think she would4iss me if I asked
her."
" What ! in this place—aud before
all our eyes ?"
" Pre ?"
Well, if she would give you a'kiss
in that.manner, 'will give you a thou
:mud dollars !" exclaimed one of the
party
"Ana I!" "and I!" exclaimed three
or four others, for it happened 'that sev
eral
rieh_men were in the group, and
bets ran 'high on an eVerit so improba
ble. The challenge was made and re
ceived in much less'tiine than we take
to tell it."
Out hero (my aurhority tells nA
whether he was plain or handsome ;. I
have my peculiar reasons for believing
that he was rather plain, but singularly
good-looking at the same tilde), imme
diately walked up to the young lady,
Mine fraulien, my fortune is now
in your hands." -
_ -
She looked_at 1101 with astonishment,
bud arrested her :taps.--- ILc proceeded_
to state his name and condition, his as
pirs I ions, and )elated simply what ha,d
just now happeeed betweeti . ,him and
his comrades.
- Thy young lady listened attentive
ly, and at his ceasing to :3 peak;she
said, blushinedy,„hut with great sweet
ness :
•‘ll* by so little a thing so much good
can be effected, it would be foolish for
me to refuse your request;' ... and pub
in the oitca square, ,she 'kissed
hint.
Next day the stude t was sent for j)y
the Governor. He wanted to see the
man who dared to seek'a kiss from his
daughter in that ways and whom she
consei4d to kiss.
"iTtirticeived him with a scrutinizing
bow, but attar an boars' conversation
was so pleaseVwith him that he or,
dered him to 'dine at his table during
Ids studies at Upsala.
Our young friend pursued hir studies
in such a manner that it soon made him

Three years were nompiwaell Fi

allt.wed to give it second kiss tb the
daughter of the Governor as his wife.
He liecatne, later, one of the most
noted scholars in Sweden, and was

Mg his particular duty. We go into
a crowd—any large crowd, but prefer
a still crowd, such as you find listening
to a political speech; elections are rich
times with us—and to sappose a case
in such a closely crowded throng, we
single out a man who is promising, and
whose money we want; one of us works
his way in front of him so as to crowd
against his left arm, another gets him
self behind, and the operator stands at
his right, partly back. In- this partic i.
u ar case it is supposed that our game
is a stranger having considerable mo
m-ey-mbrmt—lrim:—.ll.l7.ls :cis of his --
money, arnd keeps his hand - on his
pocket-hook. which is in his-right-hand
-pocket. W hen - the proper time comes,
the man behind tips up or' smashes
down the hat of the Countryman, whose
first impulse is to restore, it, and as he
can't raise his left* arm, he takes his
hand dromhis right pocket. when the
operator dies and seizes the money.
This action the poor felli;y does not
feel nine times out of ten ; he is gen
erally mad at having his iat knocked
over his_eyes,_andurns to stm_who did
it. '1 he one whe did the act seizes
the first 'flat' near him, and shoves him
ahead, then dives and ruslMs through
the crowd; this we all do, and meet
at some appointed place to divide the
profits Generally, the man whose
money we have got has a ' jaw' with
the one be finds behind him, and by
1 the ti toe he has missed his money we
are dividing it Of course, we conform
to circumstances in the way of opera=
I t mg. but this is a fair illustration.
[---Semetintes-,- however, when it is safe,
we adopt the way of lifting the lining
of the pocket and so extracting, the
nosey: If we are caught in this, the
same - manner - 4)f getting away - ittulapt=

'! That's a trick that reptires bolt]
nese and. skill. • The usual iattimer of
doing it is for the operator, carrying a
cloak or-a coat.on his arm, to meet the
victim, behind whom comes the con
federates. As if by accident, ho runs
plump agait?st the man, and thrusts
the coat into his-„face with one arm,
whilewith the 'hand of. .the other he
snatches the pin. If there is any row
the confederates pitch in; and all get
away in the confusion."
" But can - you take money frdna

" Of course; the same plan is adopt
.ed as with the pin. We spot' a man
on the cars and watch - him; I get some
distance forward of him and my ewe

the ears 1 hurry forward of him and
they hurry back ; I get out ahead of
Lim - and turn around to meet'
while my comrades have come out and

shove the coat in his .face with one
hand and dive for the money with the
other. Sometimes we follow a man for
two or -three days, and when we are
sure he has got tv good pile•with him
we are bound to get it, and unless he
is protected we do get it, one way or
another."
"But how do you know a man : lias
a good pile?"
" Oh, that's easy enough. 'ln the

country who are in the city to buy

will.often feel to see whether it is safe.
Besides knowing these men, we watch
them, and so learn which ones are the
most promising. Sometimes, too, these
operators who stay in ,New York or
other large cities are informed by
broker's clerks and others—they get a
small Aare, about five per cent. of the
gains—of a certain merchant or broker

Sam: thirty years ago, - when the
West was but sparsely settled, it was
a work of some difficulty to get a jury
together, especially as the inhabitants
were notoriously disinclined to the
pleasures of litigation. The court had
been forced to adjourn many times from
day to day, because the Sheriff as often
came in and reported au_ incomplete
panel. Finally, things came to a crisis.
The judge fixed . day beyond which
no further forbearance could be exer
cised; and when that day arrived the
enthusiiistic sheriff - rushed into the
court-room, and exclaimed, " It's all
right, your Honor. We'll have the
jury by twelve o'clock. I've got eleven
of them locked up in a barn, and we
are running the twelfth with dogs !"
