A Watchman's Adventure.
Mil. DIPPER was one of the most
efficient nlghtwatchniau we ever
knew, for you could no more catch him
asleep than you could the proverbial
weasel. Every hair In his head seemed
charged with electricity, and constantly
on the alert ; and it was very evident
that stroking his hair would produce the
same sound as rubbing a cat's fur In the
wrong direction.
The building under his nightly charge
was a large silk warehouse on the out
skirts of New York,and within a stone's
throw of a large field, on which, at the
period embraced in my story, a travel
ing menagerie had pitched its tent. As
such exibitions often brought bad char
acters into the neighborhood, Martin
was more vigilant than usual ; and,
fearing that he might fall asleep, he
took along a small bull-dog to act as
deputy.
The night which Martin had such
terrible cause to remember was a very
gusty one iu the latter part of Autumn ;
and the tree in front of the warehouse
was showering down its crimson foliage
as if the red snow that is sometimes
seen in the Poland regions were falling
in huge flakes.
He was a strict teetotaler ; and, as ev
ery nightwatchman requires some
stimulant, he was in the habit of taking
a pint of coffee with him and warm it
up during the night.
Between twelve and one o'clock, he
went up stairs for that purpose, as the
only fire-place in the building was in a
small front room on the second floor.
After splitting up some old boxes, he
made a blazing fire on the hearth,which
lighted up the little room so resplend
ently that his lantern became a mere
superfluity. The warmth was so grate
ful to his rheumatic limbs that he kept
putting on fuel long after he had drank
his allowance of hot coffee. '
It was his custom to inspect the door
and windows on the ground floor of the
building at regular intervals ; so at two
o'clock he went down stairs for that
purpose, leaving the dog in a comforta
ble doze by the fire.
He had completed his round of in
spection, and was on his way up Btairs
again, when he heard a tremendous
crash of glass, followed by a howl from
the dog, a scuffling sound, and all was
still again. Martin cocked his Colt's
revolver and rushed into the room, only
to find the window-sash shattered to
fragments and the dog gone.
How was that state of things to be ac
counted for V The dog couldn't have
jumped through the window, because
the scuffling sound succeeded the crash ;
and furthermore, all the gloss broken
from the window was strewn upon the
floor of the room, showing conclusively
that the window was broken from the
outside.
Martin was puzzled for once, and the
more he revolved the matter the more it
seemed that some supernatural agency
had been at work. A glance from the
window satisfied him that no human be
ing could reach It except by means of a
ladder 5 for, although the tree we have
mentioned stood directed in front of it,
the intervening distance was too great
for auy one to use the tree as a means of
access to the window.
Martin then resolved to examine the
ground immediately under the window,
for traces left by the feet of a ladder, or
by those of robbers. He was aware of
the risk attached to such a course, but
that could not deter him from seeking a
clew to the disappearance of bis favorite
dog. He was on the point of going out
when it occurred to him that his duty
to his employer, which was always a
paramount consideration in his mind,
forbade that he should take so rash a
step.aud that he had already beeu guilty
of gross negligence iu leaving the brok
en window for an instant. Bo he hur
ried back to the room from which the
dog had disappeared, aud prepared to
watch there until morning. The fate
of the dog had warned him of the dan
ger of having a light in the room, and
thus making himself a conspicuous tar
get to any one or anything outside; so
he extinguished the fire, covered up his
lantern in one corner of the apartment
and sat in the dark, with his finger on
the trigger of his pistol, awaiting furth
er developments.
At this junction there was a lull iu
the gale, which had raved with mania
cal fury for several hours, and Martin's
acute ear heard an Indistinct sound be
low that was evidently caused by some
one creeping on his hands and knees.
Martin had often heard hunters crawl
ing in that manner to supprlse their
game.
A momentary silence ensued, and
then he heard the tree violently agitated
as if some giant were ascending it; for
there was no wind blowing at the time.
A moment afterward, what appeared to
be the legs of a burglar was thrust
through the window, and he fired one
barrel of his revolver at it, but was un
able to fire a second, as the exploded
percussion cap had got wedged In be
hind the chamber of the pistol so as to
prevent It from revolving.
But Martin meant business; so he
threw the revolver at the mysterious ob
ject, and then followed It up with a
bowie-knife. But it soon dropped from
his paralyzed hand, as he was jerked
through the window, and found himself
in the colls of a boa-constrictor.
The menagerie tent had blown down,
the pole of it falling upon the serpent's
cage, and so bending the iron rods as to
let out its inmate.-
Some hours afterward the menagerie
men were engaged in repairing damages
when they were horrified to see the
enormous boa returning to its cage with
the insensible nigb.t-watch.mau in its
powerful folds.
If Martin had offered the least resist
ance the boa-constrictor would have
crushed every bone in his body ; but as
he tainted immediately, it supposed he
was dead, and was conveying him back
to his cage to perform the process of de
glutition at its leisure ; for it was al
ready surfeited by the dog which It had
swallowed. Upon being attacked by
the men, the boa at once dropped its
prey, and Martin received medical aid
as promptly as possibly, but remained
unconscious for upward of twenty-four
hours.
The morning after the memorable
night Martin's employer was taking a
horseback ride at an early hour when he
noticed that the front window of the
warehouse had been shattered to atoms ;
so he thereupon entered the building
with his private key, but found no clue
to Martin except the revolver, with one
barrel discharged, lying on the floor,and
the bowie-knife upon the ground out
side. He forthwith made inquiries
about the neighborhood, and was in
formed of the occurrence at the men
agerie. " What was the color of the man's
hair ?" he asked with a view to iden
tifying him.
" White as the driven snow," was
the reply.
" Then," said he, " it must have been
a different man, for Martin's hair was
as black as coal."
" Don't be too sure it isn't the same
man," observed a bystander; "for
such an adventure is enough to turn
any man's hair white in five minutes."
The proprietor of the warehouse evi
dently thought the suggestion entitled
to weight ; for he straightway repaired
to the bedside of the wretched man, and
instantly recognized him as the faithful
watchman, in spite of his snow-white
hair.
Martin was ultimately restored to
health, and strange to say, the order of
nature is reversed in this case and as he
grows older bis hair is gradually recov
ering its pristine blackness, so that by
the time be is three score and ten bis
locks will be as dark as Cimmerian
darkness itself.
C3T Generous and noble emotions,
vivid feelings and active exercise iu the
pursuit of some noble object, rarely falls
to give grace to the movements and
a rarer charm than beauty Itself to the
face.
STEALING A DRINK.
il '"THE way of the transgressor Is
1 hard," and " retribution swift,"
frequently follows on evil deeds. This
was never more fully exemplified than
a little circumstance that came to our
knowledge last evening.
One of our citizens was Journeying by
railroad toward home from the west
Having an attack of asthma he had pro
vided himself with a bottle of epecao
wine, to the mouth of which he occa
sionally Just touched bis tongue. An
Irishman, tolerably well dressed, sat
just in front of our friend and watched
the bottle with a curiou9 rye, taking par
ticular notice of the fact that It was
kept in an outside pocket of our friend's
overcoat. A fter a while our friend fell
into a kind of a half doze, when he felt
a hand.ln his pocket. Opening his eyes
Just wide enough to see Paddy stealthily
taking the bottle from its place in the
overcoat pocket, be kept perfectly quiet
and let the " Emerald Islander" work.
He took it out drank a comfortable
swig from it, carefully replacing it in
the pocket. Our friend by this time
was thoroughly awake, and sat up to
see the fun which soon commenced.
First the Paddy commenced to spit, then
to be very uneasy failed in an attempt
to open the window, and then started
for the platform of the car. By this
time speedy justice had overtaken him.
His face turned ghastly yellow, his eyes
started in their sockets, a cold perspira
tion streamed over his face and the in
ternal earthquake like movement shook
his frame. With one hand on the han
dle of the door and the other on the
lowermost part of the epigastric region,
he gasped wildly for breath, gave a hur
ried and despairing glance around the
car and, then
There was a sudden scattering of pas
sengers from that end of the car, a hasty
gathering up of carpet sacks and a pre
cipitate abandonment of comfortable
corners, secured at the expense of much
manoeverlng at the different slopping
places. Meanwhile Pat groaned as if
his hour had come, and a dull washing
sound like the regular break of waves
against the bow of a ship, told that the
miserable offender was compelled to
" Pour out his Inmost Soul !"
In confession of his misdeeds. At last
he succeeded In stopping his convulsive
movements sufficiently to gasp out
" Howly Moses, mlsther, what do ye
call that stuff in you bottle 1"'
"Poison!" solemnly responded the
traveler. " Three drops of which will
kill a giant."
In an instant Paddy was on his back
iu the midst of the " heave offering" he
had just made.
" Call the praist I Call the pralst 1"
he wildly yelled. " It's a did man I am
O-o-w murther, murther, howled me
down or it'll throw me out of the windy.
Murther, jiurtiieii 1"
The train stopped at the station to
which Pat was destined. Here the con
ductor tumbled him outand his ultimate
fate remains a mystery.
The best of the joke is, that it Is true
to the very letter.
Skillful Bribery.
A SUBTLE kind of electioneering
stratagem was that practiced suc
cessfully by Cochrane, the gallant Dun
donald,when he first resolved on getting
into Parliament. He had come home
from one of his cruises with a good deal
of prize money. He stood for Honiton,
and he announced that he would not
bribe. It was almost needless to say
that he was not elected. He had, Indeed,
but few voters. When the contest was
over, he sent for the few who voted for
him, declared that they must not suffer
by their politleal integrity, and reward
ed their virtues by giving them each
twice as much as they would have got
If they bad bold their votes. Not long
afterward there was a new vacancy and
another election. Cochrane stood again,
and announced, as before, that he would
not give any bribes. This announce
ment did not deter even the most venal
from rushing to the polls for Cochrane.
Of course, when the election was over,
and he was triumphantly at the head of
the poll, those who had come over to
his side expected their due reward of
double pay. Some of them hinted as
much. The hero coldly explained that
he had rewarded the faithful few who
had stood by him when he was unpop
ular, but that the chosen favorite of a
constituency had only to congratulate
them on their common success.
The London World saya: "There
are few women who, if they have exhib
ited the judgment and tact which gener
ally command a certain measure of hap
piness In life, arrive at middle age with
out acquiring an expression of face which
is often no bad substitute for actual beau
ty : Character and experience leave their
mark upon the feminine countenance in
a more conspicuous degree even than
time itself, aud when a woman has once
passed the age of thirty, her face pro
claims, with increasing distinctness,
whether she is a daughter of wisdom or
of folly.
SUNDAY R2ADIN3.
Honor to the Laborer.
Andrew Jackson's peculiar liking and
respect for laboring men is picturesquely
shown by a story related in the Nash
ville Banner. John Cryer, a mason,
was on several occasions engaged to
build chimneys at the Hermitage, and .
while at work often observed the most
refined and wealthy people of Nashville
coming to visit the General and bis
wife. The good masou having more or
less of mortar ornamenting his clothes,
would say to Jackson that he " would
not go to the first table to eat" and
" that he was not fit to appear In such
elegant company." "You must go to
the first table sir ; a laboring man ought
to be as highly honored as any man In
the community, for the support of the
world depends on their labor. I will see
that you are treated with proper respect
at my table." This story Is certainly to
the credit of JackBon's democracy, how
ever It may be to his social graces. Cry
er frequently laughing, said that he had
been more honored than any man in
the world, for President Jackson had
frequently waited on him, and brought
him brick and mortar, when bis regular
attendant was out of the way.
Poor Girls.
Unlike many foolish Christians, the
Jews teach their children, girls as well1
as boys, some occupation by which they
may earn a living. An exchange incul
cates a similar practice upon all parents.
The poorest girls In the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them; they
are taught to despise labor, and depend
upon others for a living, and are perfect
ly helpless.
The most forlorn and miserable wo
men upon earth belong to this class. It
belongs to parents to protect their
daughters from this deplorable condi
tion. They do them a great wrong to
neglect it. Every daughter ought to be
taught to earn her own living. The
wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around ;
the rich are very likely to become poor,
and the poor rich. Skilled to labor is no
disadvantage to the rich, and is indis
pensable to the poor. Well-to-do parents
must educate their children to work.
No reform Is more imperative than this.
Make a full estimate of all you
owe, and of all that Is owing to you.
Reduce the same to a note. As fast as
you collect, pay over to those you owe.
If you cannot pay, renew your notes
every year, giving the best security you
can. Go to business diligently and be
industrious. Waste no- idle moments;
be very economical in all things ; dis
card all pride; be faithful in your duty
to God, be regular and hearty in prayer,
morning and night; attend church
Sunday, and do unto all men as you
would they should do unto you. If you
are too needy in circumstances to give
to the poor, do whatever else in your
power, cheerfully ; but, if you can do so
help the poor and unfortunate. Pursue
this course diligently for seven years,
and if you are not happy, comfortable
and independent in your circumstances,
come to me and I will pay your debts.
BenJ, Franklin.
The Uncomplaining.
Every one has a welcome for the per
son who has the good sense to ' take
things quietly. The woman who can go
without her dinner and not advertise the
fact ; who can lose ber purse and keep
her temper; who makes light of a heavy
weight, and can wear a shoe that pinch
es without any one being the wiser;
who does not magnify the splinter In
her finger into a stick of timber, nor the
mote in her neighbor's eye Into a sun
beam ; who swallows bitter words with
out leaving the taste In other people's
mouths ; who can give up her own way
without giving up the ghost ; who can
have a thorn in the flesh and yet not
prick all her friends with it ; such a ona
surely carries a passport Into the good
graces of mankind.
Men are asking everywhere, what
Is to be the religion of the future ?
Nothing more simple than the answer.
It will be the Creed through which
Jesus Christ like the Sun through the
noonday sky moves full orb and efful
gent; the source of all light; the origin
of all power, the inspiration of every
life and love. It will be the " old, oil
story," that now goes round the world
In blessings; kindling joy in every
heart that believes; and investing with
strange power all that submit to Its con
trol I It will be " Jesus only 1"
tJT 'TIs said the truth U not always
to be told ; but do not forget idle silence
is as culpable as idle words ; therefore,
do not remain quiet when knowledge
within your possession will clear away
clouds or doubts hovering over those
you are satisfied are misrepresented or
misunderstood.
