SRE'B A QO!" muttered John Sansctlpt under his breath last Saturday as he poked up the ,11 re In the parlor grate, " here's a go as sure as shodtln' I The il' woman has gone and invited her minister to dinner, and I'm to entertain him when he comes while she dishes up the hash. May old Kick fly away with the preachers!" And BanBcrlpt kicked the cat through the doorway with such force that the poor creature dislocated two teeth by concus sion with the wainscoting on the opposite side of the hall. Puss slunk away lick ing her bleeding chops wondering whether the house had fallen ou any body else, while Sanscript banged the chairs, and continued his soliloquy : " Now, I alnt used to preachers, and no doubt I'll make a muss of It. I'd sooner trim the corns on the hind feet of a mule or comb the mane of Uncle John Robin son's boss Hon, than entertain a minis ter! What will the old duffer want to talk about, I wonder. If he slings any Bible conundrums at me I'm lost. I never did take much stock in the Bible. I don't hold a very Btrong hand In relig ious learning, and preachers have such a knack of setting up the deck that they deal themselves a full hand every time ! Wonder, now, if I could stand pat, and bluflfthe snoozeron an ace high I Since I come to think of it I'm not so Ignorant after all. It's been a long while since I went to Sunday School, but I recollect some of the prize stories we learned there. Let's see" And Sanscript sat down to think. So intent was his mind rummaging around in his bralu for the dusty lore of his almost forgotten Sun day School days, that he had never noted the fact that he had sat upon his wife's twenty dollar fall bonnet, which she had carlessly left lying upou the sofa. Let's see, now, mused John tapping his fore head. "There was something about Daniel going to the Zoological Garden, and falling into the bearpit, or getting bit by a camel I forget just exactly the nature of Dan's accident. Then what was the tough yarn about some Utile Jew boys who were thrown in a rolling mill, and came out without singeing their eyebrows? Oh, yes. Wasn't it Goliah who licked twenty million In dians with the jawbone of a mule and then sat down and bawled because there wasn't any more left? Nevermind; I'll give the old hoodlum a pretty good tussle, I reckon, and if I don't rise him right out of the pot on the first deal it'll be be cause I lack gall. It becomes me to be agreeable to the old dead-beat anyhow, because Mrs, Sanscript said if I mado a good impression on him she wouldn't insist on a new seal skin sacque this winter and seal skin sacques don't grow on trees. There goes the bell I I'll bet ten red ones that's him." Sanscript smoothed his ruflluil hair with a few strokes of his hands, cleared his throat, pulled down his vest, and walked out into the hall and opened the door. A pale, cadaverous looking young man, with long hair, watery eyes, high cheek bones, large mouth, Roman nose, and clad in a shiny black suit, bowed and smiled at the master of the house most benignly. Under his arm he car ried a large book, which Sanscript thought of course was a Bible, or some large work on theology. Grasping the visitor by the hand, John drew him Into the hallway with a cordial intent, and, continuing to squeeze and shake, said : ." My dear sir, this indeed a pleasure. We've been expecting you. Come right into the parlor." With bewilderment written all over his face, the young man tacitly followed. "Have this chair by the fire. Give me your hat. ' Mrs. Sanscript is dishing up the gruel now. I smell it. Don't your1" The young man sullied the air, and his face lighted up with - the expression of a hungry and expectant stomach. " That most prominent odor the one nearest to you Is the stullln' for the duck. You like stuffed duck don't you V" " I'm fond of duck," ventured the young man, drawing his cout sleeve, across his watering mouth. " That's good. I thought you'd like duck. Them's what the children of Israel fed on when they went down Into Turkey If I recollect rightly." Sanscript reconnoltered from the cor ner of his left eye for the effect of his first theological shot. You see he was not quite sure he had hit the bull's eye. But the young man smilled and nodded, which added confidence to the host's as surance. " Had we not better transact a little business before dinner, Mr. Sanscript?" "Oh! ah! certainly ! to be sure! How stupid in me, now. I never thought about it, that you always have prayers first. Shall I call in Mrs. Sanscript, or can you and I do it lone? The old woman can hardly leave off' her cooking, and if she should get tangled up iu that long prayer of ber'n, everything would burn Into a cracklin." " Kxcuse me," stammered the young man, as he flushed and took on a wild, dazed sort of look "excuse me, sir, but I never said a prayer in my life." "What! Never suld Oh ! you're Jokliig." " Upon my word, I've not, much as I am ashamed to own It." Sanscript stroked Ills chin, tried hard to collect his scattered thoughts, and mentally observed ! "Well! here's a of a preacher 1 Never prayed ! Wonder what church he belongs to ?" " I thought maybe you'd like to sub scribe," mildly continued the young man. 1 "Subscribe! Oh, yes! to be sure.! Why certainly!" Then, to himself: " The mercenary vlllian 1 He strikes me for a Ave before the dust settles." Then aloud. " This is for the heathen, I sup pose." " Beg pardon !" " To send some one into Hottentot to save souls that are probably lost 1" "I don't exactly catch your meaning." " For the missionary fund, I suppose ?'' " Which missionary fund ?" " How should I know V" Any of 'em, I guess you ought to know." " Perhaps. But will you subscribe ?" " Why, certainly ! How much is It!"' " Seven dollars." Sanscript went down into his pocket, produced the money, and passed It over as he quoted, " Blessed is he that glveth to the poor, for he shall have his re ward." "Thank you !" smiled the young man, ramming the bills down into his pocket. " When shall I deliver the book ?" 'What book?" It was Sanscrlpt's turned now to be puzzled. " Why, The Meandering Muleteers ; or the Mystery of the Murdered Man, in three volumns." A light seemed to be breaking in on Sanscrlpt'B horrified mind. He grasped the poker, and hoarsly whispered : " Young man, who are you ? What are you?" The visitor took the precaution to arise and slide toward the door before he an swered (he was no doubt benefitted by the experience of a busy life) " I'm agent for this book under my arm the" " And you're not a preacher V" "No, sir 1" " Well, durn my buttons I" , There was a rush, a scurry of feet, the opening of the door, a dull thud, as. if leather and flesh bad come into violent collision, and two men went tumbling down the front steps to the pavement. Sanscript wasu't one of them. The book agent's exit was so violent and sudden that a man coining up the steps at that moment hadn't time to get out of the way. Both went rattling and rolling down together. The new visitor picked up his "stovepipe," dusted his breeches with his hands, and looked wonderlngly after the book agent, who was limping away down the street as fast as exhausted nature could carry him. Finally visitor No. 2 cautiously ascended the steps, ducking and dodging as If expecting some infernal machine to be sprung upon him at every step. He rang the bell carefully, as if it were a bouse of mourning. Sanscript again came to the door. " Well, sir ?" The visitor fairly jumped loose from lis skin in affright. "Is this where Mr. Sanscript lives ?" What If it is? What d'oe want ?" " Softly, softly, Brother Sanscript. The good Book says" " Oh 1 you're a book ageut, too are you t Well, I'll soon fix you I" Away went visitor No. 2, after the manner of No. 1. As he slid off the top of Sanscrlpt's right boot the horrified voice of his wife arose excitedly from the doorway : "John! John! what have you done? Is that the way you treat my minister ?" "Your minister! Well I'll be cussed if I didn't take him for another book agent." And he shut the door. A New Way of Courting. Recently a young Parisian, traveling in Germany, took the road from Anges burg to Berlin. In the car he selected there were four other persons, two mammas and two daughter. The two mothers were face to face In one cor nerthe young man took the opposite side, and found himself face to fuce with the two young ladies. The young man put on a distraught and absent air. The conductor came to demand the tick ets. The young man paid no attention at all, when the request was repeated many times. Roused from his reverie in presence of the ladies, the young man had recourse to a ruse, to avoid exciting ridicule. "What are you saying?" said he; "why do you not speak French?" 'The conductor then explained by signs, the ticket was changed, and theyoung man returned to his reverie. And not to enjoy it long, for this time the young ladies aroused him. They began to full voice "This young man is a very handsome one," said one. ' "Hist, Bertha, said the other, with a sort of all right. "Why, he don't know a word of Ger man. We can talk freely. How do you find hltn?" "Only ordinary." "You are dlftldent.' He has a charm, lng figure, and dintlngue air." "He is too pale, and besides you know I do not love dark persons." "And you know I prefer dark to a blonde. We have nothing but blondes in Germany. It Is monotonous and commonplace." " You forget that you are blonde." " Oh, for women it Is different. Helms pretty moustaches." " Bertha, if your mother should hear you." " She is busy with her talk, besides, it is no hurt to speak of moustaches." " I prefer the blonde moustaches of Frederick, Bertha." "I understand that Fredrlc is espoused to you; but I am without a lover, am free to exercise my opinions, and am free to say that this young man has beautiful eyes." "They have no expression." " You do not know. I am sure he has much spirit, and it is a pity he does not speak German; he would chat with us." " Would you marry a Frenchman V" " Why not, if he looks like this one, and was spirited, well born and amiable? But I can hardly keep from laughing. See, he doesn't mistrust what we are say ing." The young traveler was endowed with a great power of self-control, and he had preserved his absent and Inattentive air all the time, and while the dialogue con tinued, he thought how curiously his at tempt to laugh by pretending not to know German had resulted. He looked carefully at Bertha, and his resolution was taken. At a new station, the con ductor came again for the tickets. Our young man with extra elaboration, aud in excellent German, said : " Ah, you want my ticket. Very well let me see ; I believe it is in my port monnie. Oh, yes, here it is." The effect of the coupe-de-theatre was startling. Bertha nearly fainted away, but soon recovered under the polite apol ogies of the young Frenchman. They were pleased with each other, and in a few weeks Bertha ratified her good opin ion of the young man and her willing ness to marry a Frenchman. They live at Hamburg. A Girl who went West. riONDUCTOR W of the Little j Miami Railroad, is one of those dash ing, generous fellows, to whom railroad life is just suited. He likes the daily mixings with the throng, the constant changing of faces, and delights to read the countenance as they pass. If there is anything peculiar In a passenger on his train, W. will penetrate it, and no one is more ready, if occasion require to rentier a sympathizing word or a helping hand. A few days ago, a female, about six teen years of age, got aboard of his train going east, at a village a few miles north of Cincinnati. He ap proached her to collect fare. " How far are you going ?" he asked. " To New York," was the reply. " I take you only as far as Columbus. The fare is three dollars to that point." The girl opened her pocketbook and took out two bank notes a three and a one. The conductor observed that it was all the money In the pocket-book, and as she reached him the three, he asked " Is that all the money you have ?" " Yes sir," was the reply. "How do you expect to go to New York then," he asked. " I will travel until they put me off. Then I will go to work and earn money to carry me further." " Indeed," remarked the conductor, now deeply Interested in the girl. And may I ask what is taking you to New York ?" . " It is my home, sir. A year ago I was persuaded to come West, being as sured that working girls were better paid here than there. I came out to L and was engaged in the family of Mr. R . I lived with them a few months when they went out West. I then engaged with a farmer, but was taken down with chills and fever, from which I have not recovered. I have worked hard for a year, and these four dollars - constitute all my savings. I am sick and I am going home. Probably I can get work as I go along my way. This story was told bo candidly that the conductor, who had watched the nar rator closely, could not doubt its truth. " If this is the case, I cannot takeyour money," he sold. " Indeed, sir, it is true." , " Then take your money back," was his answer, and he passed along. Through with his collection, he relat ed the circumstances to a couple of gen tlemen passengers, and proposed to head a subscription list if they would go through the train and take up a collec tion for the girl. The gentlemen readily agreed to this, aud in a few minutes had the pleasure of handing the girl some seventeen dollars, enough to pny 1:m ' to New York.
