PETTIBONE’S BURGLAR. A Thrilling Midnight Adventure. 1 am a large man, malicious people might call ‘fe fat, and I will not deny that | am somewhat incline to corpulence. Now Il know not how it may be with other stout people, but, person- ally, I am bound to say I like my sleep. I like t, too, undisturbed, or, rather it would be more cerreet to say that I think I should like it un- disturbed, for I have come to look upon an un- broken night's sleep as an ideal blessing. Jane, on the contrary, is spare in figure and eminently nervous in temperament. She may occasionally take a little sleep. I say ‘ may,” for, as a matter of positive proven fact, I have aever known her to sleep a wink m my life. Now when I add that she is addicted to hearing noises in the nicht. I leave it to any married man to estimate the probable number of times I have been awakened in the course of twenty-five years of married life, and told in a tragic whisper that “there is somebody ia the house.” I refrain from making the esti- mate myself, as 1 am aware I should not be believed. Early in my connubial experience I was on feveral occasions indnced by confident asser. tions and accurate localization of the mudai intruder and make a tour of the hot Jook in the closets and under the beds. late years I have firmly declined to ind in such unseasonable and unwholesome ex- ercise. Every experienced married man knows that there are certain pianks in every floor, cestain + bureaus, be ses, and doors in every house that habitually crepitate; that furthermore they always choose the night tedoitin. I have often speculated Ihave thought that it might be the ave the ancient Naind of the oak: i other things needless to be men! have arrived at no satisfact« The fact, however, remains. Personally, I have no objection whatever to these harmless squeakings and creakinzs; they do not disturb me. But wife she is different; she is of an inquiring turn, and eminently pract! She receives my the- orizing with a skepticism that borders closely upon contempt. She says that planks and boards don’t squeak in the daytime, and that I “needa t tell her.” Therefore I have ceased to tell her. I ofly mildly but pertinaciously de- ¢line to rise and investigate. Asa consequence of this long experience of these repeated false alarms, it will not be cht strange that I had come to look upon “as more or less mythical monsters— ius to be talked about, excelient material for fensational newspaper items, but as beings Father possible ti le I had, indeed, 4 a somewhat justified after being an unmolested houseliolder for a quarter of a century. But there first time for everything. A man may be struck by lightning after having enjoyed a lifetime of thunder storms; so 1 w: destined to have my ‘irst experience of burglars, an experience, be it said, that has given my wife an advantaze over me which that merci- Jess woman will, I fear, maintain unimpaired to the end of life. It was several years ago that thecircumstance Tam about to relate occur red,so that I can now speak of it quite calmly and with a temperance and caution that I should premise that there had been many accounts in the newspapers at the time of the doings of bur- giars in our quarter of the city; in fact, the air ‘Was so filled with these sensative reports that it furnished the staple of conversation. Of course all this came to the ears of my wife, as also to the ears of a robust, but excitable Swedish young woman whom we had in the kitchen. “This latter personage, indeed, had be- cme so abnormally alarmed upon the subject that it was only with the greatest difficulty that we could keep her from escaping back to her Rative Scandinavia.

I may say I aim not a coward, but I have nerves and sensi- bilities that are susceptible to outside influ- es.

I plumped him down in a ehair; I shook him; I gave him some vigorous advice, and then set about dressing myseif pre- ory to taking him in triumph to the station puse. I had got as for as my trowsers; I had thrust one leg into that bifureated garment; I poised the other to fellow suit. The burgiar saw his chance. He jumped up and darted from the room. He was right.

FUNERAL GRACES OR SERMONS. In Scotland, up to the pre byterians and other dissenting bodies, having no funeral service prescribed for them, make the best of their opportunity by having a long preachment on the wine and cakes, or—as is much more likely to be the case—bread with cheese and w who have come to attend the funeral. These urses—in the form of graces before and after the whisky—are generally long winded affairs. and are now being little heeded by th people assembled, who not unfrequently carry on conversations aside, putting off a considera- tion of the solemn views of tie preacher to a more convenient season, just as did Festus, the Rowan governor, when Paul the Apostle of tie Gentiles, had all but succeeded in converting him to Christianity. A PRACTICAL JOKE. An anecdote is still related, especially in legal circles, of Lord Eldon, while traveling incognito in the Western Circuit In England. He happened to be on a journey at the time a Methodist con- ference was to take place in Sheffield, and being dressed in black broadcloth he was taken to be one of the ministers. At the time alluded to there were no railroads in existence and jour- neys were gezerally performed in. four-horse stage coaches. Usually dinner was provided for at a wayside hotel, when twenty minutes were allowed for the prandial repast: "Being an entire stranger to all present his lordship was out of compliment invited to say grace, which he cer- tainly did with a vengeance. He rehearsed all the topics he had heard discussed by the minis- ters, praying for Divine guidance in respect to each servation. Home and foreign missions re- ceived a due share of attention, as did certain eases of discipline upon which the conference would have to deal. This he kept doing until the coachman’s horn sounded the alarm that he Was about to drive off, and the hungry preachers were obliged to leave their soups and roasts un- touched, altnough they had [ne the dinner ticket before sitting down. heir chagrin in such circumstances it isnot difficult to conceive, being, as they were, made the subjects of a practical joke. A story of a different kind is told of some tray- | elers at a New Jersey hotel. They were princi- } pally drummers,and had been imposed upon be- fore, 80 they resolved upon making a reprisal. When about half through with their meal, the alarm being sounded, each seized upon a Joi and carried it off—fowls, ham and roasts w thus laid hole of, and the debris was carefully returned by the following-train. THE GRAge OVER « HaGcrs. A good and yerytrue tale has reached us from the borders—i. e., the intervening land dividing | Scotland from England. Asis generally known, haggis is a favorite dish in that country. It is made up of sausage meat boiled ina sheep's bag. Atasheep hepicaia, where a large collec- tion of people were assembled, it was announced by the farmer's wife that theshepherds and their aids would have the treat of a haggis at the end of their labors, and it was looked forward to by all with great gusto, but by none more than by Peter Staples, who had a great penchant for this dainty. Peter had beside a it faculty for saying a grace before meat, and on the occasion to which we allude he was solicited to perform the ceremony. This he willingly agreed delivered a most orthodox homily. had concluded his sermon and looked around the catt dis ~ Mean Sie ¢ the entire dish Ew! ing. fact, been set upon the moment he commenced ey the Pres- be discussed should haye to earn each one ve grace for himself. wee A Scot national bard, Robert Burns, will recol- lect his Address to a Haggis. a rather ened poetical effusion, deseribing the virtues of See erey dish, which commences with Fair fa’ thy sonsy honest face Great chieftain 0’ the It wascommon in times = before ish, ‘and not} dees ano a gatl rll asseinbly tailed to | | | “bat Iwas the young Saying crace has assumed various forms, ac- | not infrequently having a fizht before he got | ky, for therezalement of friends | eome.

In some localities tt was customary when visitors sat at the family table to ask one of them to seek a blessing, more especially if the guest happeued to be a minister or office bearer in the church, while in other locations it would have been held derogatory for any but the head of house to do the honors of the table in this respect. Every family of note bad formerly a traditional grace in stock, and we remember of being told long ago ofa certain land owner, who on his approaching the feast with his guest, used to bawl aloud, ‘Lord bless us and the broth,” to the great astonishment of strangers, who Were unacquainted with the traditions of the family. Another eccentric nouseholder, in default of a better composition, always repeated when friends were present: Grace an‘ peace be o'er the table— Dinna eat but what ye're abie. Among superstitious people it was considered formerly that unless a good grace was repeated the partaking of food, as well as at ion of the repast, some evil would Either indigestion would follow, or her untoward circumstance would be the consequence. A LONG ISLAND INCIDENT. Many years Azo a rather respectable looking young man very well dressed called at the house | of a respectable farmer, and stated that he had tation, and that he was making his Way homeward on fot. The good man was not at home, but his wife was always scrupulously attentive to carry into effect the apostolic in- |junetion, “He net forgetful toe entertain | strangers.” She had a table set for the way- } farer, with a white tablecloth, on which was set sueh hom rsome food as the domi- | cile af ‘outh sat down to par- When th fake of the edibles of which he stood in so much need, he rT astonished his entert Jenzlly i his enstomary gra Was to the following effect: ‘whe Lond bless me and make me able To finish ail that’s on this table Except ine dishcloth and tie Ladle.

Last fail I heard of a good girl who was working for # neizhbor of mine and went to work systematically to get her. I found out. afterwards that it was a put- up job on me, and that the neighbor wanted me to get the girl more out of revenge than any- thing else. The girl’s name was Cleopatra. She wanted $27 per month and the use of the piano. I was so sure that she was a good girl that I engaged her on that lay out. Cleopatra had so many lovers that we had to move the sofa into the kitchen on Sundays, and my husband and myself sat around on the floor, while Cleopatra wooed the festive mule-puncher. We wanted to throw all the home influence we could around Cleopatra, so that she would fee! perfectly cheerful, and like one of the famil; She used to wear my dresses bat when I asked her to let drobe she seemed as the result of continuous wear by Cleopatra and myself, and xo she got discontented and went away.

Atter the inquest I got a hollow-eyed girl from Fort Collins. She was an orphan, with p: hair that she used to work up inthe hash. She was proyd and impulsive fn her nature, and ate Everything in the house. We used to hear her in the middle of the night foraging around after cold pie, and fragments of rich and expensive grub. She had a singa yearning for jam, and an impassioned longing for preserves that we never succeeded in quenching. When the jelly and fruit cake gave out, she would sadly turn herattention to cold ham and mustard, with the smouldering ruins of! aked beans, and cold cabbage and vinezar. We stood it till groceries came up so, and apples got to be seven dollars and a-half a barrel, and then we asked her to send in her resignation. Shortly after that my hasband made an assign- ment.

Neara century has elapsed since Clark- can his life's struggles, and three-quar- ters of a century since he won his great fight; but he rises higher and higher, just as a lofty fice strikes us more when we look back upon it than when we stand almost under it. The reason of this is that we are becoming more and more sensible of the great work that was done. Younger memories cun hardly understand it, and the older are bound to assist them. Though the slave trade was abolished, as far as our Parliament could do it, at the beginning of the century, slavery held out in our dominions for another generation and then died hard.
