A few days ago young Gurloy, whose father lives on Croghau street, organ i-, zed a theatrical company and purchas ed the dime uovel play of "Hamlet"' The company consisted of three boys and a hostler, and Mr, Gurley's hired girl was to bo the 'Ghost' if the truope could guaranteo hor fifty cents per night. Young <3 urlcy suddenly bloomed out as a professional, and when his moth er asked him to briug in some wood he replied : ''1 hough I am penniless thou canst not degrnde me.' 'Yon trot out after that wood or I'll have your father trounce you !' she ex claimed. 'The tyraut who lays his hand upon mo shali die/ replied thq^boy, but he got the Vfood. He was out on the step when a man came along and asked him-whcre Lafay ette street was, ? j j 'Doomed for a certain time to roaui tho earth !' replied Gurley in a hoarse voice, and holding Iiis right arm out straight. , j 'I say?ycu ! YVhero is Lafayette ! street V called the man. ?Ah?-could the dead but speak ah 1' continued Gurley. Tho man drove him into the house, u nd his mother sent him to the grocery after potatoes. ?I go, most noble duebe?s,' ho said as he took up tho basket, 'but my good sword shall some day evengo these in suits.' ?' .1 [7; Ho knew that the grocer favored the ntricals; and when he got there he ask. ed. 'Art thou provided With a store of 'What in thunder do you want V ask cd the grocer, ns he eleaued the cheese knife oil a p ecu of paper. 'Thy plcbian miud is dull of com pre hension,' answered Gurley. 'Don't try to get off any of your non scusc on me, or I'll crack your empty pate iu a minute,' roared the grocer, and 'Hamlet' had to come down from his high horse and ask for a peck uf potatoes. 'What made you so long, asked his mother as he returned. 'Thy grave shall be dug in the cy press glade"!' he haughtily answered. Whon his father came home at noon Mrs. Gurley told him that she believed the boy was going crazy and related what had occurred 'I see what ails him,' mused the fath er; 'this explains why he hangs around Johnson's burn 60 much.' At the dinner table young Gurley spoke of his father as tho 'illustrious i ourt,' aud whon his mother asked hiui if be would have some butter gravy ho answered : 'The appetite of a warrior cannot bo satisiicd wilh such nonscuce.' When tho meal was ovor his father wont out to his favorite sliado treo, cut a sprout, and tho boy was askedjjto step into the woodshed and seo if the pen stock wns frozen up. He found the old man there and he said. 'Why, most noblo, lord I supposed thee far away.' 'I'm not so far away but what I'm going to make you skip,' growled the father. 'I'll show you how to fool around with ten cent tragedies ! Gome up here !' For about ten minutes tho woodshed was full of dancing foot, flying arms and moving bodies, and then tho old man took-a rest and inquired. 'Trioic, your royal highness, dosi thou want auy more V 'Oh I no, dad?not a darned bit!' wailed the young 'iiMiiagor,' and while the father started for down town he went iu and sorrowfully informed the hired girl that he must oauccl her en gagomcnt until i he fall season.?Detroit Frve iVc?s.

A French traveler, who has recently passed souio mouths on this side of tho Atlantic, furnishes the Revue des Deux Monties quito a lengthy sketch of life aud manners in America. Without coininout wo give that portion of his sketch iu which reference is made to tho manners aud custoiucs of the average American girl. We imagine, however, that the picture drawu will be readily recognized. The writer says : The young American girls only Ii vo to havo the best possible time. They arc as free as cau bo. Fortunately their exaggerated lovo of pleasure is cheek od by a calculating temperament, tvhio h saves tlum from many a fall.

They do not, however, prevent many abuses, and fast young ladies are by no menus a rarity iu the eity uf New York.

Ln wiuter thoy go sleighing and skating, and air tiieir curiosity in all tho stores of Broadway. There they get all sorts of goods spread out before them; they ask the price of each aud buy none. The iulpassive salesman dots not show the least sign of discontent. There is a peculiar word for that singular custom. It is 'shop ping.' Another custom which is largely practiced by American ladies is bo cnt^r Confectionery shops and take ice creams at every opportunity. * * * Iu tho eveuiug tho same young:ladies are seen at the theaters and iu the fashionable eating saloons, it'a great ball is given any where you may be sure to meet tUcm there.

How it Little Hoy Died A Virginia City (Nov.) paper has this little 'paragraph : 'Little Ed'lio Nye, who was run over by a flat ear last evening, auu was ho badly injured tint ho died next'morning, was a rare bright child, and 'one of tho best children in tho city. Just before he died he sang ?The Beautiful River,'with a voice as sweet as though ho had caught the tones from the softer shore, ou the brink of which his .spirit was thou trembling. After tho sung he repeated a little prayer wliiqh bis mother had taught him. 'The child all bis life had a lisp, but his last prayer fell from his tongue without a halt or quaver, but ratlici steady and clear, and yet with a far utl' tone, as though another's voice of infinite sweotuoss had seized upon his lips iu the supreme moment, to leave an echo iu his uuguished mother's cars which should hist as long as life. Short ly after the little prayer, tho sunny eyes closed and little Kddie was gone. On Sunday his funeral attracted the whole city, and there was not a dry eye around the dear child's bier.' -1 - 'Where a woman,' snys Mrs. Parting ton.
