The Passaic llivcr rose and suddculy overflowed, it* bunks. The shipping was greatly endangered, boats were driven from their moorings, trees were blown down, housc3 unroofed, and cellars flyided.

The H iii r-pi us and Garters, etc., that are Picked up after the Aridienee Leayesi I^oD't know whicli is the more curi ous study, the littlo world before or the little world bchiud the scenes. Perhaps you thiuk thefe is nothing interesting in the conduct of an audience; and yet the man in the box-office of a theatre will tell you, if you get hold of him sometime when he has a dull night, a very curious story about the pleasure seekers. I was in tho little chubby - houscat Wallack's not long ago, with my friend Livingstone, and Mr. Moss poin ted out to us tho box-offico museum. It j Was a collection of artiolcs picked up in j the theatre after the audience left it. j Now, you will immediately guess what I some of these articles wore. Ilair-pir.s and garters and pennies, you kjow, a I round wherever'men and women con?;rc [gate, and handkerchiefs are always ! picked up in churches and theatres. But i tho collection included night keys, gold ring?, faro cheeks, playing cards, false curls, reticules, card cases and tooth ; picks. We can even understand how ; these things may be dropped occasionly j But how are we to understand the ab sence of mind which covers the loss of false teeth, and indispensable under clothing? There is a fine pair of low patent leather shoes, taken off during : ths performance, because they hurt the owner's feet, evidently. ' But it is in comprehensible that he should forgot to put them on again and walk out in his Stocking feet. There i.s a beautiful set of false teeth on a gold plate. Can it be that they fe'l to the fl >or unobserved during the open mouthed wonderment and* abstraction of the spectator, or wcro they tor, takcu out for comfort's sake, and slipped into the iolds of a dress instead of a pocket, and then left behind ^Voo^ ou its brass plate, and a bottle of "cold cream" and a paper of brass-ho idcd tacks. But even ih'n should uut aston ish u-!, when we ascertain that the lap dog themselves are sometimes left be hind, and Mr. M<>ss has to send out for milk and other delicacies, and, and turn the box-oSrco into a nursery until a waitifg maul comes, as she inevitably docs the next day, with a warm blanket, over her arm, and reclaims the darfing with tears in her eyes'. Then we have a sufe-!:ey. JIu ! what a tale of care lessness and reprimand aud suspicion that tells ; and a bank book, and a Colt's revolver with u!l tho barrels loaded ox ccpt otic, and that one f muky und begrimed.

It was the fashion iff those days for ladies in full dress to wear pink stockings, and she proposed paint ing her legs." "I'aintiug her legs!" exclaimed his friend.
