Eben + Ng Star, SPEECH WITHOUT WoORDs; Or, Circumventing a Burglar. “I don’t see, Aunt Georgey,”’ observed a small boy of five and a half years, in an Eng- lish village, who was sticking at his res during an arithmetical examination—“I don’t see the good of the multiplication table It seems to me to be going through so much to get at so little.’’ ‘You'd rather play at ‘Tit, tat, too,’ I dare say, Dickey,” remarked his beloved aunt, amiling sardonically, “Ay, there’s something in that,” replied the youth, unconscious of her sarcasm; “one sees what one is driving at there, all along.”” “* Nevertheless, everything has its use,” per- sisted the old lady, who was avery Minerva for aphorisms, and like that heathen celebrity, kept a bird, which, however, was not an owl, but a parrot. ‘‘No one can tell what immense advantages may flow from the acquisition” “From the what?’ interrupted the rude lad, who was of inquiring rather than a reverent disposition. * From learning the least things, my dear.”’ ** Ah, observed the boy, ‘‘I daresay; there’s the alphabet now, for instance, ain't there? Who ever first hit on that, I wonder, to teach a fellow to read?”’ ‘‘ Ay, and there’s the deaf and dumb alpha- bet, too, Dickey, which teaches people to talk without words.”’ *‘ And were you ever deaf and dumb, Aunt teorgey? O my, what a funny go!” “Lt you don’t use these very strange words, child—and where you pick them up is, I am sure, quite @ marvel to me—I’ll tell youastory of how Aunt Georgey herself once saved her life, entirely through having learned the deaf and dumb alphabet; shall I?” ‘Instead of the lesson, Aunt Georgey? 0 yes, I should like it better than pie.”’ «There were two little boys, Dickey, and one of them not very much older than you, who used tocome and stay with your Uncle Frank—you never saw him, dear child, did you? Ah, he would have liked those bonny blue eyes! to stay with Uncle Frank and me, when we were first married; and they could not hear nor speak, Dickey ”” “Couldn’t they eat neither, Aunt Georgey, nor drink, nor nothing ?’’ “O yes; they were only deaf and dumb; but that isa very dreadful misfortune indeed, my child, of itself. They could not talk except with their fingers—so—only ever so much quicker.” “That ain't talking: that cat’s cradle, Aunt ‘ieorgey 1° “No, it isn’t; it’s speech, though there are ne words. { said then—‘Dickey, don’t inter- rupt your Aunt with foolish observations.’ ”* “I didn’t hear you, then, ’ replied Dickey. “Perhaps not, my dear, but nevertheless I did say it; so don’t.. Your Uncle Frank and I learned this foreign alphabet on purpose, that we might understand what these two poor lads had to say. They were far quicker, far cley- er than you, Dick; they could read and write, ay. and draw and sew, and do many other things which you would make but a very bad hand at.” “Could they do the multiplication table, Aunt Georgsy ?”’ “Yes, ebild.”’ Coutd they play at ‘Tit. tat, toe,’ Aunt rgey?” and at draughts, and backgammon. and choss, and at fox and geese, as well as any They could almost see what he said, though they could not hear, with such quick eager eyes did they watch every movement of eur lips. We soon, however, got to talk as easily with our fingers as our tongues; and sometimes, when the lads were not with us, Uncle Frank and I used to converse in that wanner when we were alone, for practice. “It jee on one occasion that he had to go up to London on important business; he was t» have gone by an afternoon train, but some- thing delayed him, so that he was not able to eave befure the night-express. I was not in very good health. and retired to my bed-room about two hours before hisdeparture; he prom- ised, however, tocome up and wish me - bye before he started, which would be between twelve and one o'clock in the morning. The matter which called him away was connected with the bank here. which had just been burned down; and my husband, ‘it seems, though I did not know it at the time—so great secret had he endeavored to keep it—had many thousand pounds belonging to the con- cern in h’s temporary possession, locked up in an iron safe in our bedroom, where the plate was kept. He was bank manager, and responsible for the whole of it. It was winter time, and there was a fire in the room, so bright and comfortable that I was in no hurry to leave it 2nd get into bed, but sat up, looking into the fiery coals, as [ have seen you do, Dickey, and thinking about all sorts of things—not so much about your favorite palaces, and fairy gardens, and the castles which Jack the Giant-killer, took, Maye are to be seen there, doubtless, as you say, but upon the long journey your uncle Frank had to take that night fe of how dreary the days would seem until he returned, and in particular of how lonely I should feel in that great room all by myself when he should be away; for I was a dreadful coward, Dickey, and not like you, who go to sleep in the dark like a brave boy, and never want a bursemaid to sitin your room. It was a little after eleven o'clock when I got into bed, but I did not seem in the least inclined for sleep then; I knew Uncle Frank would be coming to wish me good-bye presently, and besides, there seemed to be all sorts of noises about the room, which my foolish ear always used to hear whenever I was alone at nightime. “If alittle soot fell down the chimney it was. I thought, a great black crow at lexst. which would soon he flying about the room, and settling on my pillow; if a mouse squeaked in the wainsoot it was the creaking of some dreadful person's shoes, coming up stairs to kill your silly old aunt with a carving knife; and if the wind blew at the casement it was somebody else trying to get in at the window, although it was two stories high. You may imagine, then, my horror when I heard a tre- mendous sneeze within a quarter of an inch of me, just behind the head-board of the bed, and between that and the wall, where there was a considerable space. I had, as usual, taken the Preceation, before I put the candle out, of looking everywhere in the room, where it was quite impossible any person could be hid; but in the little alcove into which the bed was pushed I had never so much as thought of look- foe’ although that was a capital hiding-place or anybody. Everasince I had slept in that — in short, I had been like the ostrich of ion we read yesterday, Dicke »Who puts his = in the sand, and then imagines himself in perfect security. I had iqued myself upon Precautionary measures, that after all, might at “swell have been omitted. The only thing, as I believe. which saved my reason from de- first — that ter- : y mind clung to the hope that it might be, after spears the sneeze of acat. Fifty cats together could n t jot have cnt ie ae 4 disturbance, it is true; for it é of a man wh igs next instant Sennen ee first shock.

There’s asilver mustard- besides in the pantry, and a couple of candlesticks in the study, only they are plated, for I would not deceive you, sir, upon any account.”’ “You had better not,’” observed the burglar grimly, “or it will be all the worse for you.” © produced a key like that my husband used, — ap apes t ear safe; but as he did 30, is guilty ear caught a footstep upon the stair- case. ‘* Who’s that?” cried fos ‘a “My husband, sir,”’ returned i; don’t hurt him; pray.” “Is he not gone to town, then?” cried the Tuffian, with an oath of disappointment. “ He is going at twelve e’clock,’’ replied I; “he is indeed.” “If you tell him,” said the burglar, hoarse- ly; “tif you breathe but one word of my presence here, it will be the death-doom of you both;” he had slipped into the alcove, and drawn back the bed to its place, in an instant. My hus- band entered immediately afterwards, and even while he was inthe room, I heard the awful threat repeated once again through the thick curtain behind me—‘ If you do but whisper it, woman, I will kill you where you lie. Will you swear not to teli him?” “T will,” said [, solemnly; “I promise not to open my lips about the matter.’ Your Uncle Frank leaned over the pillow to kiss me, and observed how terrified 1 looked. ~‘You have been frightening yourself about robbers again, I suppose, you silly child.” ‘Not I, Frank,’’ returned I, as cheerfully as Icould; “I have only a little headache;”’ but I said with fingors, so that he could plainly read jt in the firelight—“For God's sake, hush; there isa man behind the bed-head !” “Your Uncle Frank was as bold as a lion, and had norves like iron, although he was so ten- der-hearted and kind. He only answered: “Where is your salvolatile, dearest?’ and went to the mantel-piece to get it. I thought he could not have understood me, he spoke with such coolness and unconcern, until I saw his fingers reply as he took up the bottle: ‘A// right; don’t be afraid!’ And then I was not afraid, Dick, or at least not so much; for I knew that I should not be left one instant in that room alone; and I felt that my Frank was a match for any two men in such a cause. Only he has no weapon. ‘He has « life-preserver,’ (pistol,) said I with my fingers. “Your fire is getting rather low, Georgey,”’ observed he as he took up tle poker. (Ah, he had a weapon then!) “I must leave you a good blaze to comfort you before I go.”’ “He poked the fire, and left the poker in, but without ever taking his eye off me and the bed-head. “I will just ring the bell, and see whether Thomas has got the portmanteau ready.” “Mary,’’ continued he to the maid that an- swered the bell, ‘send Thomas up.”’ Then, when she had gone upon that errand: “By Jove! I never gave him that key; where is ii. Georgey? I have not a minute to lose ; if it is in your dressing-case with the rest there, I shall be an age in looking for it. Might I ask you to get out of bed for an instant, and show me which it is?’ He said with his fingers, “jump!” and I jumped you may be sure. Dickey, quickly enough, and was inside the dressing-room, and with the door locked, in half a second. “Come in, Thomas,”’ said your uncle; ‘come in;”’ for Thomas was modestly hesitating at the chamber door; ‘there's some blackguard got into the house and behind my bed there; if he makes the least resistance, I'll kill him with this hot poker.” ‘At these words the bed was pushed slowly outwards, and the burglar, without his crape mask, and with a face as pale as azhez, emerged from his hiding-place. Your Uncle Frank knew him at once as having been a bank mes- senger, who had been turned out of his situa- tion since the fire, upon suspicion of dishonesty. “O, sir. have pity upon me.”’ cried he; “I"m an unlucky dog. If it had not been for a sneeze, I should have had ten thousand pounds in my pocket by this time!” “Oh, you came after that, did you?”’ said my husband coolly. ‘Well, please to give up that life-preserver which you have in your pocket, betore we have any more conversation.’ “And did your lady tell you that too?” cried the villain, in accents of astonishment, as he delivered up the menton to the man-servant; “and yetI stood by her yonder, and never heard her utter a syllable ” “I never spoke a word,” cried I through the dressing-room keyhole, for I did not wish the man to think that I had broken my oath; nor, to say the truth, was I anxious to make a deadly enemy of him, in case he should be ever at lirge again. ‘fPaen it’s a judgment on me,”’ exclaimed the miserable wretch; ‘‘and it’s no good for ine to fight againt it.’’ “It’s not the least good,’’ zepued your Uncle Frank decisively; ‘‘and we will go to the police office at once *” “So off the burglar went in their custody, leering poor Aunt Georgey safe and sound after all. nd now, don’t you think there may be some uso in learning everything, even so small a thing as the deaf and dumb alphabet, Dick- ey? “but, pray, “Sometimes,’’ replied the small boy, cau- tiously, not wishing to commit himself to the general question. “It actually saved my life, you see,” con- tinued the old lady; «‘ and I didn’t break my promise, either, did [,Dickey? I said I wouldn't speak a word, and I didn't; for what I did was what I call speech without words.”’ “Oh,” replied the small boy, cunningly, “that’s what you call it, is it?” Now, shoald you like to know what I call it?”’ “Yes, you funny child, I should,” replied his aunt, admiringly. “Well, Aunt Georgey,”’ said the youthful morslist, as he sli off Minerva’s lap with a wicked laugh,’ ‘7 should call it acting a fib without telling one; and a precious fig fib too.” <2, A Ferarrut Catcvtatioy.—In bis work on unfulfilled prepare? Mr. Labaugh advances the theory that the inhabitants of the new earth are not to be sick, and that they are to live generally 900 years, and to increase accordingly. Some tient mathematical genius, taking this as a sis of calculation, eotiuntes atthe end of 1,000 ears the Jews alone would number “ more than 1024 000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000.000, which would be more than 3,410,000,000,000,000,000,000 on each square mile of the earth’s surface, or 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 on each acre, and more than 1,000, 000,000, 000,000 on each square yard !”” By the time Mr. Labangh is able to read the above figures, he will probably find reason to abandon his theory. The total number of Jews is now but from four to six milliens; or less than one, one hundred and fiftieth of the earth’s inhab- tants. If we makea corresponding estimate of the increase of the whole nine hundred and odd millions, the figures become still more frightful.— New York Chronicle, Feb. 2.
