IT WAS between ten and eleven o'clock on a wet and chilly evening In No vember, tliat I eat alone by my com fortable library fire. My Bisters and lileoes bad gone to a party, and the ser vants bad retired, the kitchen being, as Is usually the case In the South, a build ing detached from the bouse. I bad been very busy settling some household and other accounts, and counting money Just collected, to be next day day deposited In bank. Having now concluded this business, I put away my books and papers, carefully locked the money In a private drawer of my secretary, then producing a de canter and a little brass kettle, was presently Imbibing a steaming beverage of sugar, lemon Juice, water, and one or two other ingredients a sovereign rem edy against cold. Not that I was af fected with that complaint, but I am a believer in the adnge that "an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure." I was Just falling In a state of luxuri ous drowsiness when a slight noise at tny window aroused me. I llstened,and the sound was repeated. The library, I may observe was on, the first floor parlor of the house, and the window wns about eight feet from the pavement. IUslng I opened the window and saw two figures Btandlng on the portico of the adjoining house, which had been un occupied. The dim light of the nearest street lamp showed one of these men mil filed In a great coat, while from be neath the loose clonk of the other I caught a gleam of the belt aud buttons of a policeman's uniform. . "I want to speak to you," said the latter, speaking in a low voice, " I am Officer 1'errln, of the Third district. Open the door, but make little noise." I obeyed, and, with a silent Btilute, he entered, followed rather reluclantly, it seemed by the other man. Both tip toed across the hall Into the library. But first, to my surprise, the policeman, on my turning the key in the door, tried the bolt, and removing the key, silently handed it to me. In the library 1'errln said to me : " You are Mr. Saunders, I presume!"' "Yes." " Has any person been admitted nt the front door within the last quarter of an hour 5"' "No ; I am alone In the house, except yourselves." " Then," resumed Perrln, " I have to tell you don't be frightened that there la probably at this moment a burglar In the house." " A burg" He checked me with a movement of his ringer and at the same time turned his attention toward the door of the room adjoining. " What room is that?" I told him. He went to the door, drawing a pistol as he did so, and gazed around with searching eyeB. " Is the farthest door locked, and those closets V" I believed so; but he proceeded to In vestigate, and said, as he nodded to wards the plate on the closets shelves. " No doubt it Is this' they are after, unless there are other valuables about the house." "Nothing, except the ladies' jewelry," I said. "That is up-stalrs, I suppose We will first search the floor thoroughly, then proceed above." " But," Bald I, nervously, " what makes you suppose that there are burglars in the house V" . "I was coming up street just now not on duty, you see when I met fills man, Mr., eh V" " James Goodman, Belvtn's furniture factory," Bald the man with the great coat, speaking for the first time. " Oh I He stopped me and said he had Just seen something suspicious a man in the portico of the next house here, looking in at a lighted window this window, you see." "Good gracious I" said I, remember ing the money I had been counting. " That led me to watch him," Bald Goodman. " I saw him come down and go up the front steps of this house. He stood there a considerable time, now and then stooping down as if doing some thing to the lock. Then the door open ed and he went In." " But the door was locked on the in side," I said. The policeman shrugged his shoul ders. "Not much of an obstacle to this class of citizens. When you examine that lock to-morrow, you'll find some thing wrong with it." " What Is to be done ?" I inquired, In some agitation. "Capture the fellow," returned Per rln. "If I can count on you two, the thlug can be done at once." " But I am not used to this kiud of business," said Goodman. " Your part, my friend, will be easy enough. The thief In probably at this moment up etairs. All you will have to do Is to take up your stand nt the foot of the stairs, and shoot him If he attempts to escape that way. ' " Look here," he added, more earnestly, " I'll not mind in giving you five, ten, or even fifteen dollars out of tny own pocket, If you will stand by me In this matter. It's ft thing I have been particularly wish ing for, and now tlmt I have the chance, I'm bound to do it. They are accusing me of hanging back In the Ityan burg lary, and if I can show them their mis take, and capture this fellow without calling in professional assistance, it will be worth more than the money I will owe." In a few moments he had arranged his plan. After going over the first floor ami securing all the doors, bo as to prevent escape In this direction all the time observing the greatest caution and silence Perrln posted Goodman at the foot of the stairs, directed me to take my position at the halfway landing, and then himself quietly ascending to the second landing with his revolver In one bund aud his heavy boots In the other. Hotu Uoouuian ana myseir were to lire at the burglur should he attempt to en cape lu our direction, As the police disappeared in the dark ness of the upper half, I began to feel rather unpleasantly. I pressed closely into the darkest corner of the landing and listened. At first all was dead and silent; but presently I distinctly heard, lu one of the rooms above, a Bound as of a drawer being opened. Then there was a sharp metallic ring, and some ob ject fell to the floor. Here, then, the burglar was at work. Before I had time to recover from the creepy chill which the thought evoked there was a sudden, stifled exclamation a souflllng and tramping of feet a chair overthrown, a crash of glass, a heavy fall on the floor. The next moment l'errln's voice was heard shouting loudly : "Hello, here! founders 1 Goodman! quick I I've got him !" I rushed up and attempted to open the door. To my surprise It was fastened. "Break It in!" cried Perrln, "or get through the landing window on to the roof "of the porch, or he'll escape." I rushed to the landing. The window was too high to be easily scaled by one of my short and rather pussy stature, aud I ran down into the hall, seized a chair, called to Goodman who, how ever, made no response, having doubt less beat a hasty retreat on hearing the noise above and with dlfllculty and de lay succeeded in getting through the window. I wrenched open the shutters of the room In which the struggle was going on, and, throwing up the sash sprang to the floor within. . All was pitch darkness and deep si lence. Not a sound, not a breath could be heard. A cold horror came over me. The thief had murdered his captor, left him dead on the floor and escaped. I groped my way to the door. It was was still locked no doubt by the mur derer lu his flight. I threw up the front window and yelled for help. "What's the mattery." shouted a voice in the street. "Murder! burglars! help!" A crowd, Including two policemen, rushed In. They told me they found the front door open, though I had the key which Perrln had given me still about me, and breaking in the cham ber door peered around after the gas was lighted. "Where's the murdered man 1"' de manded the other, whilst a precociously thoughtful boy pushed his way through the crowd, ushering in a physician, whom he had hastily summoned from his office, which was a few doors off. There was no mangled body upon the floor, no blood' stains anywhere. A broken chair, an overturned table, a shattered Bohemian glass toilet Bet these alone testified to thetruggle that had taken place. In as few words as possible I ex plained the caso. " The thief had escaped ; and the po liceman is after, him," I concluded, "hadn't you better join in the pursuit at once V" " We will first look around a little," said one of the ofllcers, coolly. The search revealed some bureau drawers pried open, and several jewelry cases and watch stands lying emptied of their contents. Down Btalrs the plate had vanished from the dining-room closets, and the door of my writing desk stood open, revealing the secret money drawer,, minus the roll of bank notes which I had an hour before placed there with care. " How ou earth could this have been done f" I exclaimed, in bewilderment. " The secretary was locked when we went up stairs after the burglar. He could not have had time to do this work after his escape, aud with Perrln in pursuit and Goodman at the foot of the stairs." " I rather think, sir, that your disin terested friends, Perrln and Goodman, know more about this matter than you do" remarked a policeman, grimly, " I will go and look 'em up now, and no doubt they'll be promoted for this night's work to the Htate prison." Blowly the light began to dawn upon my dazed and bewildered mind. I looked around and saw a grin bordering on the faces of all present, and heard a murmur In which I could only only dis tinguish the most appalling monosylla ble " Bold." One month thereafter I had the pleas uro of Identifying my friends. Good man and the noldlwnt, "Policeman Perrln, of the Third district," as they were led from the prisoner's box, adorned with Iron bracelets, each to serve a second term in the State prison. Goodman nodded patronizingly at me, while his companion looked me full In the face, Binlled very suavely, and winked. I may add that the plate and jewels with most of the money, were recove etl ; but I have since been very particu lar In always closing the window shut ters and cujUlus at night. Too Sharp for Her Father. A SHORT time ago one of our nice young city ladles, a somewhat re cent graduate of the C II S , being engaged to be married to a worthy and promising student of Har vard University, In the department of , thought that the time hnd about arrived when she thought to broach the subject of a suitable dowry for her9elf to her estimable father. The said pa rent was a well-to-do business man, not of great wealth, but In the way of becoming bo In the not fur dlxtant fu ture, If his ship kept on her course as she Is now heading, and no head wind should occur. The bride was quite proficient In mathematics while at the high shool and If she were not, she couldn't have been the daughter of her father. So one dny last month she ventured to suggest the Interesting topic at the breakfast table, asking in the apparently careless man ner what mark he proposed to make as a dowry ou the occasion of her ap proaching marriage. The father " tack led to It kindly." "Oh," replied he, "I don't know. I haven't thought much about It as yet. I don't intend to be mean, but at exact ly what figure to fix it I am not now prepared to say." The daughter had, as we have said, devoted some time lu particular to the fcluily of the wonderful accumulation of money at compound Interest and by the process of Involution, and so was es pecially enlightened upon the all ab sorbing theme to her and to which her parent was not quite so fresh in his studies, acute as he was as a financier. Then she replied : " Now, dear father," (so kindly) " I don't mean to be hard with you ; in fact, fl only want enough to give me a decent outfit one suited to your means and my social position. Now If you'll give me one cent this morning and simply double the amount every day for only a month it will be alt I ask." The doting pareut at once grasped the proposition as a hungry fish would a fresh clam bait, and drew forth a bright new nlckle from his pocket and gave It to her to bind the bargain. The matter was alluded to at every morning's break fust, as the amount kept doubling at two, four, eight, and sixteen cents, and the father thought he was getting off amazingly low. At the tenth day the amount bad only reaohed $5.12, a very, very small Bum surely. On the fifteenth day it reached $103.84, and it now seemed to increase rapidly, yet the father thought it would come out about right In the end. At the twentieth day the sum began to trouble the gentleman just a little, for although he might be able to pay $5,248.88 easily, which indeed was about the figure he really thought the final product would be, still be began to be alarmed about the issue of the next ten days. So he resolved to go to his place of business Immediately after breakfast and figure up the balance.--Wheu he did bo he was absolutely aston ished, and very soon convinced, by the figures that cannot He, that If he would give " the gallant father's daughter" the sum of bis " whole pile" and aa much more as be might be able to borrow on bis own securities, it would not nearly suffice to equal the amount " nominated in the bond," for on the twenty-fifth day he found it would amount to $1G7, 771.16 1 . So, as be was a man of the world, especially to bis child, eoraething had to be done and that right quickly. He went home to. dinner that day, a thing be hadn't done for many a long day, aud dined happily with his family. Then be called his daughter into the par lor, and she at once began to suspect the cause, for it was to explain bis situation to her. "No," said he, "it la absolutely Im possible for me to continue this arrange ment ; I must compound with you now, although I have been "compounding" ever since the first day. Now If you'll release me from the accomplishment of an utter impossibility, I will give you the amount that will be your due on to morrow, " In full of all demands," as a bridal dowry; aud I will place $10,000 In the saving bank to your personal credit and give you the remaining $486.70 In cash for the expenses of the wedding, of which you may expend bb much or as little bb you and your mother may please." The happy girl, overjoyed at even this proposal, and making a virtue of necessity, promptly accepted it being far more than she had ever expected to obtain and then she proposed to her mother to go into the city on the morrow and look at some goods. We need only add that the bridegroom in prospect wna immensely pleased on Thursday evening when he called to learn the result of this somewhat scien tific mathematical strategy. In con clusion we would only ask our young readers to give us the amount which the fond parent would have had to pay? had no compromise with his fair creditor been effected aud his barrels of dollars held out. Army Recollections. iiy w. ii. n. didn't i.ikk cod fikh. ONE HAY our regiment was served with rations of ancient codfish, hav lug a villainous smell and terrible taste. The next morning we were aroused from our slumbers by the in u si a of the dead, march, and the slow step of the men fol lowing It. They bore In their midst, a box resembling a coffin which they deposited lu an open grave, going through the formula of firing the three rounds over the grave. As they returned at a quick march to quarters, our astonished captain Inquired "what the devil they were at," and was greatly amused to learn that they had been burying the cod flsh with the honors of war. FOJJD OF MUTTON. In 1S02 Jim Peoples was sent by Gen eral Banks as guard over the property, among which was a flock of sheep, be longing a rampart rebel named Roberts, who was always blowing about his sons in the rebel array. One day old Roberts, after his usual blow, remarked : " I wish I had three more boys to send to that army." " Well," replied Jim, " you had three hundred sheep when we come here and now they are all gone. I wish you bad aa many more, for we all appear fond of mutton." A Good Story. I was looking over the stories that were sent In last week for the prize, and I wonder that the editor did not insert this one, which is really too good to be lost : " There is a curious duel now pending in Boston, which began several years ago. Mr. A., a bachelor,challenged Mr. B., a married man with one child, who replied that the conditions were not equal that he must necessarily put more at risk with bis life than the other and he declined. A year afterwards he received a challenge from Mr. A., who stated that be, too, had a wife and child, and he supposed, therefore,tbe ob jection of Mr. B. was no longer valid. Mr. B. replied that be now had two children, consequently the Inequality still subsisted. The next year Mr. A. renewed bis cballange, having now two children too,but his adversary had three. The matter, when last heard from, was still going on, the numbers being six to seven, and the challenge yearly re newed. A Wi88 Deacon, " Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept youself and family well the pastBeason, when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have bad the doctors visiting ua so often." " Bro. Taylor, the answer Is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time; kept my family well and saved the doctor bills. Three dollars' worth of it kept us well and able to work all the time. I'll war rant it bas cost you and tbe neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick tbe same time." "Deacon, I'll use your medicine here after." 40 0To think kindly of each other la good ; to speak kindly of each other is better; but to act kindly one towards another is best of all. 3" Never tell a man thai be la a fool ; in the first place be will not believe you, and In the second place you make him your enemy. CJ"The wealthy miser lives as a poor man here, but be must give account as a rich man on the day of judgment. 0 If a dunce is short of some faults, he only did not know bow to acquire them. f C3" Surely half tbe world must be blind;. they can see nothing unless it glitters.
