CAUGHT IN MY OWN TRAP. Dora and I bad been silent fully fifteen minutes—an unusual occurrence for us— when she suddenly broke out into one of her gayest, sweetest peals of laughter, The cars were going at the rate of forty miles per hour, but Dora's laugh rung out above all their noise and contusion, 'What is it, Dora; you witch you ?' I said half piqued that she had not at first told me what pleased her, and laughed afterwards. 'Nothing, Nell, only I was thinking of something funny. Do you see that gentle. man just in front of us, with the beautiful black whiskers and dreamy brown eyes ? Well, he's been watching you behind that hook for the last half hour, looking as if he would like to take a bite of the red roses on your cheeks. Don't blush, but he is in love with you, I'll bet my gold thimble 'on it. I was just thinking of some of the stories I have read about young ladies mistaking hand some young fellows for their brothers, etc., and thought what fun it would be if you could only manage to mistake that gentleman for your brother Fred' I was ready for fun in a moment. 'Tell you what I ll do,' I broke out eager ly; 'You know I hasn't seen Fred since I went to school, three years ago, and of course be's changed a great deal since then. Well, if that literary gentleman with brown eyes (he is landsome, isn't he, Dora ?) should get off at our station, I'll wait 'till he gets mixed up in the crowd, Fee him suddenly for the first time, rush up to him in a fluttei of delight, call him brother Fred, and give him such a kissing as be hasn't bad since be saw his siwec theart last.' `Yes, I would. if I were you,' said Dora, satcastically 'You darn't, you know.' 'Don't I dare though 7 wait and. see.' And so I dropped back into the cushion in silence 'till the train stopped of our station. Dora gave me a wicked look, and whisper ed that she knew my courage.would fail me, for the gentleman was really getting off. I was not to be triumphed over though and as'we stepped out on the platform I saw the literary gentleman standing amidst the crowd, and'with a little bound throw myself into his artus, and kissing him full in the mouth, hysterically exclaimed— 'Fred, you dear brother, how do you do?' I caught a glimpse of Dora—...she was in danger of going into convulsions. I was ex. peoting to hear the stranger say, confusedly, that there was some mistake, bat, to my sur prise, he gave me a hearty embrace—kissed me two or three times—said he was well— that I bad grown a great deal and inquired for my little friend Dora—who, all this time,* was exciting the sympathy of the crowd, as they supposed she was insane, judging from her frantic laughter.

He held tny bawls in his own all the time, and kissed st unnecessary intervals; but to tell the truth I had never loved him half so well before—never thought him half so handsome. We reached the gate. Mother kissed me and cried over me ; Father repeated it; and finally a frank hearty voice broke out with— 'Hallo, I arn't you going to notice your scapegrace of a brother at all ?s And to my astonishment a 'handsome fel low I had not seen gave me a genuine bug, and a kiss that you could have heard across the yard.

We lit tle imagined that 'into each life some rain must tall.' Thom we pictured a life unmixed with sor row, not knowing that future years would reveal the fact that man's days are few and full of trouble. Then we believed—our friends were all true. We knew not what false Hendshipti meant. Trusting and eon. Radio we started out to thread our way - -L1? along the billowy shores and across t e .eas terautrecean of human existence. We had full faith and implicit confidence in the mon strous prodigies of Santa Claus. We be lieved the story of the •Babes in the Wood,' and our young hearts would melt with pity or bound with joy as we realized in the one case or felt in the other, for the sufferings of our fellows. But alas! how sad the quivering heart strings vibrate when we discover that Santa Clause is only an imaginary being, and the many things which we supposed were real were only imaginary—an ignis fatuus to misguide and deceive us. Friends who had gained our confidence, and in whom we had confided the swots of our own hearts, prov ed recreant to every trust so lovingly con fided to them. Yes the Very friends who knew us best and knew best when to stab us. gave. us the unkindest cut of all. Life that seems all bright, skies that were ne'er darkened by a cloud, the glassy lake that lay sleeping in the sunbeam and unmov by a ripple, we fondly thought would always remain thus bright and beautiful. But no; change% that we never dreamed of came, and alas I. our fond hearts almost imagined that friendship was but a name, and all things but cheats to misguide and delade us. Sadly we'wnt.checi the course pursued by false friends. Solemnly we beheld Sylvia, the 'Daughter of the Sky' walking with silvelly feet the blue expanse above, darken. ed by clouds and lost to view in gathering storms. But our picture is a dark one Let us brighten it a tittle. Life is what we choose to make it. 'Kind words never die.' The poet reasons thus, and we believe he is right. Hear what he says :• 'A little word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Matti often.healed the Fent that's broken, And made a friend *sincere."

One is. endowed by nature with strength, another with weakness, one with beauty, another with deformity; one with vigor of intellect, another with mental imbe cility. Diversity in the moral as well as in the physical world, is the design of Provi dence, as we might as well ask that the moult. .rains and the bills should be shorn down, and the rugged surface of the globe reduced to one unvarying level, as that. society should present uniformity of condition.-' It is a sys tem founded in infinite goodness and wisdom. .• ..A person having sold a horse to ao Irish- Mao, a few months afteriards, asked him hoist his horse answered.

Yesterday afternoon before a large crowd of people, Mr. Frank Voter ' the inventor of a patent safety coffin, was buried alive in le garden attached to Saier's Union Brew ry, and after remaining under ground for ver an hour resurrected himself in order to ahibit the working of his invention. As as been stated before,' the coffin is designed give liberty to those who may be buried urine suspended animation. In appearance did - ere, but little from the ordinary burial asket, except that it is higher, to allow of le free movement of the body. The top lid om the .head to the waist is movable, and casket' interment is left open. Over it is laced the most important part of the inven t box about two feet square-: and—five feet high. At the top it - is perforated with holes to admit of a free passage of air, and covered with a door in which is a light of glass. This door is fastened from the inside. :ar _he top of the box-ishereall-bellj-t which a string wound at one end around the hand of the deceased, is attached. Running parallel is a strong rope.with which the sur • iced-can-help-b - i - mself-out - by - tfre-assistancel of cleats at the side of the upright box. If, however, he prefers to wait till the Cemetery attendant answers to call bell, he can take his ease and lunch off the provisions which have been stowed away by `'the friends" in 'la .r.videdlor that pose at the head of the coffin. It is intended that the up right box shall be removed by the under taker at the first signs of decomposition.— The coffin lid then slips back by a spring to its lace anti the mound looks no different from others.

Of old maids there are many kinds. Cuv ler himself could scarcely have classed the multitude of the species. The patient, pious old maid; the brisk, busy old maid; the gaunt, the precise, the dressy, the grim, the gossiping, the spiteful, the kingly; all these, buzzing in and out of the world's great hive, may puzzle us by their variety. But one great distinction they share with the rest of their fellow creatures, married and single— there are, bad and good old maids. One spe cies, gentle, meek, useful; having no ties of their own, making ties of the very tender ness and affection of their yearning hearts ; nursing sick ehildren, looking after the poor, taking all the trouble off the hands of some overburdened mother of a family ; governess, friend, house-keeper, and humble companion, all in one; women perfect in their way; wo• men who lack nothing of being saints except canonization. But, to balance the love we might otherwise feel for the lonely race, there is another speoies—busy-bodres, in triguers, thrusting themselves out of their own solitary homes into the homes of others, to work mischief, like earwigs in the core of fruit; toad-eaters, slanderers, full of flattery, full of spite ; struggling to keep their ground by the meanest concessions, affecting not to perceive the most open rebuffs, ready to un deg:nine by the grossest treachery ; envious, pitiless daughters of the father of lies, and serving him perpetually. A STRANGE BUT TRUE STORY The St. Cloud (Minnesota) Journal says : 'A young ltdy, living in the East. was engaged to be married some three years ago, when on the morning of-the day appointed for the mar riage the father of her betrothed died and denly. Tho wedding was postponed for a year, and , on the second occasion, when everything was prepared, and but, a few hours were to elapse before- the ceremony, tidings were received that the body . ,of the lady's cousin, with whom she had lived al most as a daughter for a number of Years. watt being brought from the South. .on the next steamer. Another postponement of a year followed, when, but a few weeks sinee, on the very morning of the wedding day, the-intended bride, after but a brief illness, was herself n corpse.

OLD CLOTHES.—OId clothes pass into the hands of two distinct dealers, and by the► are turned to a valuable use. These dealer are the men who buy old clothes, and the men who pick them out of the street. Thar are five hundred old clothes dealers in Nel York who have shops, and who send mei out to collect old garments. Many of Cher sell the old clothing for a small advance ode or two large concerns. In one of the large shops men and women work early ant and late for the trifling pay they receive fel the stitch, stitch, stitch, by which they pui in. some kind of shape the old clothes tin their master has bought up the day before These clothes, after being purchased by the 'boss,' are assorted and scoured, and are then out and sowed into shape, and made to resem ble new clothes. They are then packed in boires . and sent to an agent at the West, who disposes of them to the best advantage, the advantage generally being the realization of about 70 per cent, on the original cost.— The largest traffic of this kind is generally carried on by the Jews. A preaohnr, not long since, disooursing to boys in the New ILlampshite State Reform School, upon the fact that the good were : respected, while the bad were shunned, at tempted to illustrate it by ,saying.
