From the London Court Journal.
A GOOD STORY WELL TOLD.
A light 'knock at the door interrupted
the conversation. Anna cast a look of
inquietude at her mother, for since the loss
of their fortune no visit had broken their
solitude.
'Go and open it, said the lady. W un
smile she obeyed, and the opened door i
ave entrance to a man, whom she inirac-

diately recognized as the stranger who
had assisted tire poor old sullerer.
The counten-juce of Mademoiselle Re-
.
vial at once assumed a grave and severe frls
expression. Her mother perceived the j r$ut v
change but before she could make an m-
quiry into me cause, me stranger auvanceu
and saluting her with rcpect, said: "Mad- ;
ame, you are, I presume, the mothjr of
this young lady?" j
Madame Ilevial made a sign of assont, !
and pointed out a chair to the stranger. '
He took it. and continued: "chance this j

"Now Madame," said the young man
in a hesitating and timid manner, "it re

young sister in this work of kindness."
"xMademoiselle Anna Kevial."
A cry of astonishment broke from the
stranger. "The daughter of Mr. Kevial,

A month after in the humble lodgings

for the better, however, having occurred
in his circumstances, the young ladies
were induced to sanction his addrseses,
and thus to become accessories to ihe
course for which he has just suffered.
The unhappy man passed the last night
of his bacheior existence in his solitary
chamber. From half past eight to ten. he
was anc'n'ied in writing letters. Shortly

Precisely at quarter ofa minute to sev

desire ri se aud prompt- dressed himself.
He bad the self-con'.rol to shave himself
without the slightest injury; for not even
a scratch upon his chin, appeared after
the operation. It would seem that he
had devoted a longer time than usual
to his toilet.
The wretched man was attired in a liht
blue dress coat, Willi, frosted buttons, nl
white waist coat and nankeen trowsers,
with patent leather boots. He wore round
his neek a veriegated satin scarf, whicli
partly concealed the corazza of bis
bosom. In front -f the scarf was insrted
a breastpin of conspicuous dimensions. -Having
descended the stair case with a
quick step he entered the apartment
where his brother and a few friends were
awaiting him. He shook hands cordially
with all present; and on be ing asked how
he slept, he answered, very well, and to
the father's demand as to the state cf his
mind he said 'lleelt happy.
Que of the party having hereupon sug
gested, that it would be as well to take
some thing lefure ihe melancholy cere
in ny was ge ne thr-ugh, he exclaimed
withsoc.ie emphasis 'decidedly.' Breakfast
was accordingly served, when he ate the
whole cf a Frer.ch roil, a large round toast,
two sausages, nnd th ree new laid eggs,
which lie washed down with two great
breakfast cups of ten.. In reply to an ex
pression of astonishment on the part of a
person pfes en tnt the appetite, he de
c'ared that he had never felt it. heart

H iving inquired the time, and ascer
tained that it was ren minutes to eleven,
he remarked that it would soon be over.

anything for him; when hesa:d he should
like a glass of ale. Having drank this he
appeared to be satisfied.
The fatal moment now approaching, he
devoted the remaining portion of his time
to distributing among his friends those
little articles which he would soon no
longer want. To one he gave his segar
case, to another his tobacco stopper, and
he charged bis brother Henry with his
latch key, with instructions to deliver it
after all was over, with solemnity to the
landladv.
The clock at length struck eleven, and
at the same moment, lie was informed.that
a cab was at the door. He merely said, 'I

It is related of Signor Blitz, that wish
ing one day, while in Pennsylvania, to
procure a draft on New York, for a cer
tain amount, he stepped into one of the
country banks in that State, and made
known his wishes to the proper oflicer,
who, by-the-way, was a stiff staid old
Quaker. Being informed that he could j
be accommodated, lie was asked
In whose name shall I draw the draft? j
In my own, Signor Blitz,' was the an- i
swer.
Art thou the wonderful ian who is
performing all tiiesc mysterious things?''
asked the Quaker.
The same,' answered the Signor.
And now, friend, will thee show me
one of thy tricks?' interrogated the Qua-
ker
With pleasure,' answered the magician,
and taking a quarter of a dollar from his
glove from his pocket and placing it over
the quarter, which he had laid upon the
counter, "are you sure that the quarter is
under the glove?'
Quite sure,' answered the Quaker,
gently lifting the glove, and beholding the
quarter snugly ensconced tinder it.
Sure, quite sure of ii?' asked the Sig
nor. Yes, friend, I see it with mine own I
eyes, answereu me otuer.
Lift the glove,' said the magician.
TI10 Qual;or-lid so, ond to hio oonoler

nation the quarter was gone.
Friend,' said the Quaker, wilt thou do
that once more?'
Again ihe Signor placed the quarter in
the same position, and motioning the Sig
nor to stand back, the Quaker placed his
eyes down upon a level with the counter,
and then making a sudden dive at the
glove, he lifted it and the quarter was
gone.
Jonathan,' said the Quaker, drawing a
long breath, 'place that money referring
to the amount received for the draft
away in the safe, and lock it up, and put
the key in thy pocket.'
Well,' said the Signor, who is always
fond of a joke, 'now I wil give you a
proposition. If I can, standing where I
am, draw that money into my pocket, I
am to keep it; if I cannot, 1 will surrender
the d raft, and both draft and ' money is
yours.' .
'Go thy way, friend, tho-.i shouldst not
do such th'yigs,' said the Quaker, politely
bowing the Signor to the door.

Tcac'iing a Iicacon.
A gentleman of this State, who resides
in tiie town of Ellmore, Mequango county,
is, as he describes himself, very onsartin
in politics, and besides that, is the mosl
onsartin practical joker we hare heard cf,
of late. Here 13 one of his jokes:
The gentleman was in his store on
Sunday morning, preparing for the duties
of the da 3 when the deacon entered. An
unfortunate pack of cards was Jying on
the counter, and the deacon, as in dut3'
bound, remonstrated with our joker on this
villainous practice. The latter admitted
that it was at least an idle waste of time.
and taking the cards in his hand, moral
ized cn the subject as well and warmly
as the deacon. At the same time he al
lowed a few cards to fall here and there
on the counter, they l)"ing very ranch in
the slmpe of tricks, and looking us if the
two had really been "taking a hand."
At this juncture, another member of the
church came in (the post ofilee was in the
store.) and all at once the joker, placing
his finder on a couple of cards on the cor
ner, exclaimed
"Now, deacon, I tell ycu this wen'tdo.
The queen always takes Jack, and the
ten the nine, and so down, rnd if you
don't attend, you will necr learn the
game. That Jack is a good card, but my
queen takes it, counts rnc one point, be
sides one on connt for rame."
"Why, neighbor." exclaimed the hor
rified deacon, "what do you mean by
that?"
"Exactly what I say," ;v-s the reply
"the queen takes the Jack, end its mine
yon might have trumped witli it and
saved it long ago; now this Jac ', with iow
and game, puts me out."
At this moment 1I13 gsnilaman from
Mequango county turned around, pretend
ed for the first moment to notice tiie brodi-
cr deacon who hud entered, looked con- : black?, of whom one half are women.

Of course the deacon was caught. The and it was hy an application for pcrcua

ance of the town of Ellmore made bis ap.
pearancs in ihe n'ck of time, as a witness
n favor of the deacon, told a round, vn-
varnished tale, and procured for him an
acquittal.
h js 5aid to this day, the deacon has an
increasing horror of cards, and though he
feels a conviction that the "Queen will take
: i!,e Jack," and that the Jac k can take the
deacon, yet he has an utter aversion of
giving his "high, low, Jack." Racine
