Strikes arc quite proper, only strike right;
Strike to some purpose, but not for a fight;
Strike fur your manhood, for honor atul fame ;
Strike right and left, till you win a good name;
Strike for your freedom, from all that is vile ;
Strike off companions who often beguile ;
Strike with the hnmnier, the sledge and the axe;
Strike ofT bad habits with burdensome tax ;
Strike out unaided, depend on no other ; ,

Strike off the fetters of fashion and pride;
Strike whero 'tis best, but let wisdom decide ; i
Strike a good blow while the iron is hot ; j
Strike, keep striking, till you hit the rightspot. (

[CONCLUDED PItOM LAST WEEK.] I
Cyrus h:ul scarcely comprehended the [
extent of this misfortune, when there was s
it knock at tho door, and there entered t
Ileiskill, Seymour, aud little Mylcs. They
had just got in lroui a walk iu the country ; 1
had a capital dinner about four o'clock, and "
were now here to go to work, they said, j
after an afternoon of play. Iu order to
prove this assertion, thoy each lighted a j
pipe, and seated themselves around the (
room with their feet upon the highest arti- t
cle of furniture that they could reach. I
"What is the matter with Cy ?" said i
little Myles. "What makes him so quiet ?
and why is he sitting here with the rooui <
all full of the shades of evcuiug, like a miserable
tomb ?" <
Cyrus made some joking answer, and ris- '
ing, lighted the gas. After considerable 1
talk and goneral chaffing, Uciskill proposed that
the big table be cleared and that they f
should go to work. I
"You're professor to-night, Seymour, you ?
know, and try not to ask any questions you u
can't answer yourself." 1:
"Then let him stick to the spinal column," v
said little Mylcs. "I don't want him ask- t
ing uic to articulate a hcuicrus and a fibula b
again." a
"Oh, you needn't bother about wlio'u to li
be demonstrator !" said Cyrus. "We can't 1
do any anatomy to night. The skeleton's
gone!" v
In order that the foregoing conversation v
may bo understood, it may be well to state ?
that these young men had clubbed together t
to buy an articulated skeleton, upon which
they rubbed up their anatomical knowledge, t
each of the party acting in turn for an even- I
ing as "professor," and asking questions of t
the others. This skelctou was kept in a 1
long yellow packing-trunk, and the hack- i
man had taken it off with Miss Hirch to t
the hotel. There was no reasou why he t
should not have taken it, for it was near r
the door, and was, indeed, the only truuk I
visible upon lirst entering. Cyrus was so 1
full of Miss liirch aud the bothersome u
landlady, that he did not notice the mis- c
take. u
Of course, with three such very eager d
and amazed inquirers as to the whereabouts p
of their common property, there was noth- s
ing to be done but to tell, under promise t
of strict secrecy, the whole story. It was t
received with unbounded applause, and the ii
joke was considered far more enjoyable v
than any studying of anatomy could possi- s
bly prove. When the laughter had sub- t
sided, Ileiskill asked Cyrus what he intended i
to do. a
"Why, I'll have to go around iu the d
mornimr and explain that the wrnmr trunk t<
was taken (of course I shan't toll hor what g
is in it), and then I'll have to got that Hill e
again to drive her and it to the Baltimore ii
depot, and instead of leaving the trunk ho
must bring it back here. I hate the plan,
for it not only gives trouble, but makes a s
lot of irickery about the young lady that I a
don't like. And I was going to send down 1
my books so nicely ! Coufound that 1
man!" s
'Do you think she'll open it in her room ?' I
said little Myles : 1
'Of course not, you blockhead,' snapped 'I
Cyrus. 'She hasn't the key, and besides, a
do you suppose she would open my trunk if a
she had V

time; finished the performance by wishing <
t<> goodness tli.it the man had been named :i
'Cohen,' when ho was alivo, so that some- n
tiling might be said about a'truncated cone.' i
Nothing was bad enough to follow this, and I
so they got out the cards.
'flu! next morning Cyrus dressed himself <
in his best, and actually won* to his washer- f
woman's house to get a white vest,* if by v
choline it was done. It was about ball past s
t n when he reaehed the hotel, and the \
clerk (old hiin that Miss Hindi had gone. t
lione !' oried 1 'yrus. 'Where could she i
have gone so soon i
The clerk looked very hard at him, and I
replied, 'Ilow do I know where she went '{'
However, after Cyrus had explained how | (
he had intended calling on this young lady t
hofore she left Ibr Hiltimoiv, thus proving
that he was properly aware of her destina I
lion, the clerk inboun d him that she had ' \
I in piny wi'h :i;i eld-olv g'tithoMan, t
iu time tc catch the teu o'clock train, ('yruwent
homo iu a state of complete bewilder
uieut. When he reached liitt room lie found
there a note?a nolo from Funny, the lirst
he had ever received :
'Dkak Mr. Durham:?The telegram
reached uncle last uight, and instead ol
sending me the money he came himself,
iurly this morning. 1 wanted to wait until
you called nud thank you for your kindness
and your truuk, (which I will take good
care of) ; but uncle thought I had better
tako the ten o'clock train, because that was
the only train, until afternoon, which connected
with the cars for Martinvillc, and ho
thought iho family would be worried if I
didn't got homo until after my trunks arrived
by express. lie says he will leave
this and stop aud thank you hiuiself.
Yours truly, F. B.'
On inquiry, Cyrus found that the note
had beeu left by u gentleman just before he
same in, who asked for hiui, but couldn't
wait.
Now, what was to be done ? Nothing,
oyrus thought, but to write to his father,
icll hiui the story, and get him to send over
to Mr. Birch's for the truuk, and return it
to Philadelphia by cxp.css. This course
tiaving been concluded upon, Cyrus wrote
tud mailed the Icttor to his father.
The rest of the day would probably have
jccn spent by Cyrus in the enjoyment of
fanny's letter and his recollections of her
visit, had not his friends called upon him
to kuow if he had got baek old "Cohen'
^for so they had baptised the 'truueated'
lone, since little Mylcs' pun.) When they
lieurd the rest of tho story they were wild
with deliirht. and the osseous iokes that
were made wero worthy of the inmates of a
nad-house.
'It's such a mean old trunk,' said little
Mylcs. 'Nothing but a thin packing-aox
my way, and I dou't believe I locked it last
light. I'll bet any man ten dollars that
Id Cohen's out before this time.'
'They'll open it on the cars when they
icar it rattle,' said Seymour. 'You know
tcople can only take wearing apparel, and a
kcleton is uot wearing apparel?at least
hat one is not wearing any.'
'If they think it's freight, and take c out,
t will result iu frbjht,' suggested Mylcs ;
md then, as usual, the uproar stopped the
oking.
The next morniug about nine o'clock,
ust as Cyrus had finished his breakfast,
got on credit from the grocery where he
lcalt), he received a telegram. It was
Yotn Mr. Birch, aud contaiucd these
words:
'You are wanted here. Come ou imuicliately.'
Cyrus clutched his hair, stamped his foot,
dapped ou his hat, locked his door, rushed
ound to llciskill's, forced from him four
lullars and some seventy cents?all he had
?and reached the Baltimore depot in time
or the teu o'clock train. What his feelings,
lis fears, or his hopes were during the jouricy,
is not to be put ou paper. At two
'clock ho had reached Baltimore. By
talf past he was on his way in the Martinille
train to his destination. Beaching
he village, he had no money or desire to
tire a carriage, and so started out to walk
s rapidly us possible the two miles and a
ittlf that h?y lii-twoon hiui and Mr. Birch's
IOUSC.
Arriving there hot and flustered, he
valkcd through the opcu door, and hearing
voices in the dining-rootn, walked quickly
11, and found a coroner's jury sitting upon
he remains of the unfortunate Cohen !
We will now relate the circumstances
vhich h:d to this inquest. The trunk had
>ecu taken to the hotel in safety, and Fanny,
villi her borrowed baggage near the foot of
ler bed, had slept the sweet sleep of an
nnoccnt maiden, without being troubled by
he ghost of her quiet room-mate. Kveryliiug
had goue on admirably, and she arived
at Martinvillc in good season, where
icr father was waiting for her in a buggy.
Ie was surprised that she had brought
uothcr trunk, for her baggage bad arrived
arly that morning; but sho explained the
latter, much to his merriment and he orercd
the station master (who was also excess
agent and several other things), to
end the truuk after them in a wagon. This
ho man promised to do; but having taken
wo trunks up there that morning, and expectng
no more jobs for that day, his wagon
iras undergoing some repiirs at the blackuiilh's
shop, and so lie could not promise
o send it much before nightfall. However,
n an hour or two, along came Silas Hoopes,
peripatetic green grocer and general venlor,
who, for half the ordinary fee, offered
o take tlie trunk to Mr. Birch's. IIo was
;oing that way, and was always glad of nu
xcusc to stop anywhere on his route, even
f it was not at the house of a customer.
On the road Silas examined the trunk.
'Well, I reckon,' said he, '1 never saw
ueli a common oKl trunk go to the Birches'
Core this day. Shouldn't wonder if Miss
"'anny'd been a buying c'rosities, up to
Miiladelphy. It's light, too. Ves, tiiat's
o; 1 thought it rattled when I put it in ;
don't doubt it's shells, or a sewing machine,
t ain't louked neither?only strapped.?
['hey might as well 'a locked it, lor here's
: hasp and all. I don't expect it's much,
itiyhow, or it 'ud 'a been locked.'
A slow drive of a quarter of a mile now
ollowed.
'()' course, there's no harm just looking
n, when it ain't locked nor uuthin'. Everybody
else has looked, I'll bet.'
Just a little ahead was a turn in the road,
iml a large tree at the corner with a nice
it of smooth grass under it. It was just
he place for Silas' horse to rest and cool
>11 a little; and so the old man drew up
hero. Then he whistled a little and looked
ibout hiin carelessly. Then ho stood up
ind looked around carefully. Then be
mstrapped the trunk Then he whistled a
ew bars more, and raised the lid.
On tin) other side of a pretty thick lied^e
>f collar trees and blackberry hushes, was
hjuire Curtis with his gun. lie had been
catching fur a shot, but when lie saw Silas
ti p and stand up to view the country, he
latched Silas. He hid long suspected
lie old chap, and what was he going to do
tow '{ 'Oh, ho ! open :t trunk, eh ! and
?ot his cither, or he'd wait till he'd got
loine !'
So, softly through the hedge eanic Squire
'urtis, and tho instant Silas opened the
iunk the Sijniro had liini hy the collar.
The yell wieli ^ilas ?iivu .vhen Mr. Cohen
inguidly stuck up his two attenuated legs,
vliieh had been tightly douhled up in the
i hisk. was only |?i i! 1 by (lie vhout ftoju
i S;juirc Curtis. The horse started; Silas
fell backward out of the wagou ; tho Squire
I stood like a man of marble ; and away wcut
i the. wagon, with Cohen's legs dangling carelessly
over tho cud of tho trunk,
i 'Whoso is that r said the Squire, when
* his voico cauie to him.
'Mr-r?Birch's,' chattcrod poor old i
Silas.
'That's a lie,' said tho Squire. "He is
not dead, I know. What have you beeu
doing V ^
i Silas then explained that he knew nothing,
but that the trunk was to go to Mr.
Birch's; and who tho 'corps' was, bless his <
soul and body, he knew nothing about it,
but it might go to?any place, for all he
would touch it; and upon this he was for i
euttiug across the fields to his hoine. But
the Squire seized hiui, and forced him to
hurry ou ufter the horse and wagon. They '
come up with it just as it reached Mr. Birch's
gate; and as Silas would not go near the |
wagou, the Squiro had to seize the horse's i
head and turned him into the yard.
It is useless to endeavor to describe tho
sccno which took place iu the happy family
on the portico, upou tho advent of Mr.
Cohen. Shrieks, fainting fits, shouts to <
take it away, and a goneral scone of horror
and confusion which had uevcr been known
in that part of tho couutry, was succeeded
by the oxodus, ou foot, or in souio one's
arm*, of all the women, aud a council of i
the uicu. Silas told his story, not omitting
iu his fright his sin of curiosity. Mr. Birch,
who went up stairs to question Fauny, only
discovered that she kuow nothing, aud that
it must have got changed on the cars; aud
Uh I please cover uieutiou it again ! Oh,
dear ! Oh, dear !' i
It was finally concluded to put tho re- i
mains of the 'murdered uiau' in the stable
for the night; and the squire, who was
the coroner for the county, declared his |
intention of suuiuiouing a jury in the morning.
That night, however, Mr. liirch, who
thought that Mr. Durham might be able to '
explain this (though how he knew not), 1
scut the telegram. 1
Whcu Cyrus appeard before the jury, 1
told the history of the skeleton, showed how
all its joiuts and separate and individual I
bones were neatly joined und articulated !
by means of wires, nud pulled from his !
pocket t 10 bill and receipt of tho skillful
artificer who had prepared the specimen,
the jury found a verdict 'Died of some cause I
unknown.' '
Cyrus then repacked Mr. Cohen, and '
sent him by one of Mr. Dirch's men to the
aiiiiiuu iu awau orucrs -} taxing care mm
time to lock the trunk. '
Mr. Durham did uot go over to his fatli- 1
er's house right away, but stayed to supper. 1
Fanny was still very uervous, and he walked I
out into the garden with her to explain it
all fully ; and he explained it to such au '
extent that she agreed, before the couversa- 1
lion closed, that when she traveled in the
future, it should be with him, and they both 1
should have the same truuks.?Harper s '
Mayazinc.
An Editor's Dream.?He fell asleep <
and after a time, and lo ! he dreaurcd again. I
Aud it seemed to him iu a vision that, hav- I
ing armed himself with certain papers and
books, he turned his steps once more tow- 1
urO tne place ana knocxcu at, itiu gate. i
"lljllo, is that you again V said Peter. '
"What do you wish ?'' <
" Let those persons again come forth," i
replied the editor, and Peter this time made ;
them all pass through the gate and stand
outside.
They came as before and uttered the
same cries as before.
"Why didn't you notice that big egg I 1
gave you ?" yelled the first. 1
"It was rotten," replied the editor.
"Why didn't you write up my soda foun- 1
tain ?" cried the druggist. ^
"You had your tickets printed at the
other office," calmly replied the local man. ^
"Why did you write about old Tomlinson's 1
hens and never speak of my new gate ,
shouted the third.
"Old Touilinson paid for bis advertising '
aud you didu't. Here's the bill, said the *
editor. 1
"Why did you spell my name wrong in 1
the programme?" groaned the local tab *
cut. *
"Take a look at this manuscript of yours 1
and see for yourself," said the editor with a '
grim smile 1
inc rest ot the company yelled their '
complaints in unison,'and tho editor calmly 1
sorted out a series of bills lor unpaid sub- (
scriptiors, and presented each with one ; 1
and it was so, that when they had received I
them, they all tore their hair and rushed
violently down a steep place into the sea,
and St. Peter, taking the editor calmly by
the hand, led him within the gate aud '
said: <
"Come, friend ; these chaps managed to 1
slip through here in spite of us, but, thanks 1
to the press, we now know what sort of fel- ?
lows they are. Come in and stay ; we need 1
a few such men as you in here." *'
? .? '
It is tho fashion in Russia that whenever '
two people meet on Easter day they /.iss '
each other on the mouth, and while one 1
says "Christ is risen !' the other replies, 1
'He is risen, indeed.' Now it seems that '
the Kmperor Nicholas ha J so arranged it f
that the sentry placed at the palace gate 1
should be an Israelite and a very pronounced '
one. Knrly in the morning Nicholas hutuo/i 1
himself to the gate, nud giving the soldier '
the Kaster kiss said : 1
Hrother, Christ is risen !' 4
The soldier's bronze face flushed, but 1
bringing his musket at the salute, he replied (
resolutely: 1
'No, father he is not!'
llpon this the Kinperor pretended to get into
a furious passion, and in a loud voice
he repeated, 'Christ is risen !' The soldier
trembled ; he saw the knout last dang'ing '
before his eyes, but the love of his faith 1
was stronger than his fear of punishment, 1
and bringing his musket stock down with 1
a crash, In; cried :
'No. lie is not!'
The Czar respected the man's adherence '
to a credo, rewarded t ie soldier and left, 1
laughing heartily over the adventure. (

a tree near the line of Denton County,Tex- 1

A Model Arkansas Minister.?The
following uurrntivc, says the Little liock
Gazette, was told us confidentially by a slanderer
:
A Texas minister arose before a large (~
audience, took his text and began preaching.
A brisk firing of pistols began on the outside
of tho church.
"Brother Deacon," said tho minister, ''I
believe those fellows are casting insinuations
at me ; iu fact, 1 uui very nearly conviuced,"
be continued, as a piece of plastoring fell
r 4l. ii -i a- l? i -i
iruui me wan ouwo to nit* neau.
"I think, parson, that it refers to sumo J
oue else," replied tho deacon.
The minister raised a tumbler of water
and was in the act of applying his lips, when
the glass fell, shattorcd by a shot.
'This is an inuendo no longer," said the
minister, wiping tho water from his vest
"This is what I term au unmistakable thrust*
The congregation will please sing while 1 a
go out and investigate this matter. Is there
another preacher iu the house ?"
"Yts," said a man, throwiug down a stick
which he had beuu whittliug, arising and
pulling at tho waist of bis pants like a man
who had just straightened up after scttiug
out a row of tobacco across a broad held :
t4Gct on an extra 7"
"Yes."
"Unlimber."
The whittliug preacher handed over a

preacher took, and drawing one from hid
belt started out. After goiug out there
wns an imuicdintc improvement in tho Or- ?
ing busiuess. It was decidedly more lifelike,
insomuch that tho deacons sat working
their fiugcra. After a while the minister
returned, aud placing an cur nud the q
nostril and a half of a nose on tho pulpit
remarked, "lie that hath cars to hear, let
him behave himself. The sermon then
proceeded without interruption. C
