BY I.fcON ORA?EU.
A'St range looking person Sat in U re
iitrwnod eofleo house orenfo, read'ng the
papers, but at the same time smoakinga
small clay pipe und drinking his coffee
with an air. uf-tfatisf action, lie won; a
complete suit of black, ;w hi oh was out in
the latest stylo a (lue white noetic, or
acarf, being the only thing white to bo
seen io bis dresn.
Iu stalked Major Ii., accompuiued hy
several military friends. The Mttjir
was far different in disposition and char
acter from any ol his comrades. He
possessed an Ungovernable passion to
ridicule everything and to persecute
everything with his sarcasm; therefore
he was much feared by his compan
ions. ,. ."<?'.
The Major seemed to be in a rather
lively humor, and it appears as though
he was literally seeking for some one on
whome to practice his acquired habit ol
ridicule. The party in black, whom he
took, for n school teacher, .oh account ol
l.i.- peculiar dress, had hardly been es
pti d by the Major, than he slid quietly
behind his chair, us Itheugh it was a ei
dental, and blew the light out , Ui>
X'omrndcs 'lnnghnd.' The stranger coo'.y
relit the gm? as though nothing ha 1 h ij?
pened, and continued ruudiug.
Now thought the Major, I km.w my
man ho will stand something. He there
fore 'approached him and said, seareasti
ciillv. good evening my dear '/ahuilou*,'
ar the snmu.li.uu grasping his haul,
titul With It the pipo h<- held which was
thereby broken into pieces.
'Waiter' another pipe.4 called out the
man in black, so iningly very ouiet aud
OjDol.
'1 he comrades of the Major laughed
st ill louder.. I
The Mujor gulled him a splondcd
patty, us was generally the case with
those whom he selected as hi- victims!
and also hem: invited to lake a hand iu
a game of whif.r* be went into one of
I! e play rooms followed by his entire
suite, ? id let th ? to an in bluek sit
ijllletly.
The patly iu black continued reading
his paper, a fa drank Ins cofl'oc, and
set med to have quite forgotten the re
cent, insults ol'the Major and his party.
Hut as soon as he hud finished reading,
i he got up and went into the room, in
which the Major was playing and step ;
ping tib"jj before' him. and ca ching him
by tiie lapel ?!' Iiis coat, said :
'Sir. It) morrow m> .ning we fight, and i
with pistols.'
'So, so,' interrupted the Major; w, 1

:Vou arc mistaken, sir. I am a captain
in th" British navy. To in rrow.morn

The captain left without ajiothor

The entire company pf yesterday ap
peared at the appointed place with the
Major on the following morning. The'
Captain in a uiaguificcnt uniform await
cd them, and bowed very politely. The
Captain nut having any second, one of
|-i..'c "'Major's suite volunteered to act as
such.
' f Itahk you? replied the captain, *I
need no soeoud. 1 have my jockey with
me, and should 1 call, he knows what
is to be doue. You are all men of hon
or, aud will allow no mean advantage It)
he taken of me.'
The pistol wore now loaded, fifteen
paces counted off, and the opponents
took their places.
'You life the insulted party,' Sui I the
Major's second to |he captain, 'and
therefore hfiVe the first shot.'
Tilt! Captain raised his pistol and aim
cd;
lhuve Aas an unearthly stillness
among tho ?small circle, aja 1 the Malor
turned pale.
The Captain lowered his pistol, and
said, 'jjs^the Major will not have the
.second'sh. t. he .-ha 1 shooi first
'Von st ent to. be certain of your art,"
said tin? Major's see nil. and it is there
lore p?ble On y?mr part to allow the
Major the first shot, as well as your
ron nciation of tqe first shot. But,
uc'.Qi the less, I, as well a* all here
assembled, cannot allov^ it. You' are
hero alone, and without seconds. You
have come under our regulation. There
foic, sir, t.hoot.'
. 'I do n. t wish to teem surp of my art
but be sure of it. I uevcr joke. With
my pistols I hit to a certainty, of which
you shall soou he convinced. .Johu,'
and ho called his jockecy, 'throw some
thing up iu tho air.'
The jockey pulled out hi.5 hankerehicf.)
.?'No. 'said tho captaiu, 'something
smaller, a piece of money, a button or
something of the kind.'
. The jockey pul|ed a plum out ol' his
pocket.
(Jood, John,' cried the Captaiu, 'now,
throw it high up iu the air.'
The jockey threw the plum up; tho-i
captain aimed ; there war?a Hash ami a
report, and the plum came spurting
down burst into many pieces,,.
An iuvolu itury bravo, escaped the
lips of the lookers on. I'hfl" Major turn
(id pale as death.
The Captain did tint speak nnoth.o
word about the plum Shot, but qu'dly
reloaded bis pistol iu tho presence oil
the second, and went back to take his
place.
The Major had also regained some of
his coolness.'
'Shoot, Major,' cried the captain.
Tho second wanted to interfere, buff
the captuiu put him hack and shouted
a little rougher. 'Shoot, major.'
The Major shot, and?mi. sed
'Shoot again, major; you aimed
miserably Should I fill it will be
lucky, not alone for you hut foe all of
these geutlemcn, because I intend to
make you, quo und all, look into the
muzzle <>f my pistol.'
rilCSO words seem d like shri 'ks to
the lookers on. livery one excused him
self for having laughed yestorhty. The
KCCOud said nothing ag tins; the second
shot because the M-ajar now shot for
(hem all, then it' this monster did not
bite the du t lie would shoot all down
like dogs.
The Major ra:>ed his pistol and aim

Majors lit art heat, audible. lie w i

'I'he next evening he appeared again

Iu a ceuain vi'lngo?tho story runs?
thcro Was a girl who.hated work but
j loved gossip. So she never spun hcr
j tell', but used to iuvito the other girls to
j.hor hou-o, where the fcuslcd them aud
they .sp in lot her. During one of those
spiuuiug least}' a dispute arose us to
which of the party was the boldest.
"Jj'-u uot afraid of anything," .said
the la/y bpu.es.
'?Weil, then.'' saii the spinners, "if
I yo,u'rc not afraid, go throu di tho grave,
j yard into thu church, take dow n the
J iluly Picture from door, aud biiug it
hcro."
?Veiy ;good." said she; "I'll bring it,
only each of you uiust spin mo a distant
full.'1
.Well, she wcr.t to tho church, took
do\yu the picture, aud brought it home
J v.ith her. IJut then the picture had to
; hour had arrived. Who was to take it.
"<",<j on spiuning you girls," said the
; lazy-boots; "I'll take it back myself.
1 i.i not afraid of anything !"
j So she won! back to the church an 1
, replaced the picture. As she pit-.-ed
through the grave-yard on her return,
she .saw a corpse iu a white shroud
sitting o:: a tomb. U was a moonlight
night, and everything was visible. She
woul up to tho corpse and pulled its
shroud od*. ( Its hour lor stirring hadn't
arrived, perhaps.) '1'hen .-he went home,
carrying the shroud with her.
After supper, when everybody had
gone to bed, all of a sudden the corpse
taj ped ;.t the wind ?w, saying, "tine me
my .-hi-iid '. Give iiic my shroud!" Tho
ntlor girls were frightened out of their
wits. Hut the lazy-bones took the
shroud, opened the vriudow, aud said :
-There, take it."
'?No," replie 1 the corpse, '-take it to
iho plact! you took it from.''
Ju.-t thou a cOck crowed; the corpse
vanished.
Next night, at the same hour, after
all tho spinners had gone to their own
homes, the corpse came again, tapped at
the wind >..-. an 1 ci i- .1 :
"fj ivc me my shrou 1 I"
\V. 11 it... *.:-!?, ;-i?hi-r ind mother
opened the window offered the
et rj -e its shroud, but it cried":
'?No! Lit her cany it back to the
place she look it from."
.le t then the cooks began Iu crow ?
the f tpse disappeared.-. Well, next day
th ty scot fur the priest, and told him
tho whole story, and implored him to
help tie in. The j rust reflected awhile,
then t ild the girl to c one to mass net

people cam ? to it. J>ut just as thdy

camp meeting, tells tho following Eto-1

Many people sleep in the same tent
hire, being separated by partitions. As
young Methodist fellows are thrown
with pretty young ladies a good deal, it
is nothing against them that t'.ioy some
times fall in love.
East night they say, this happened;
A yourfg" Methodist fellow frora Rails-ton
had bceouo quite interested in a pretty
daughter of a religious farmer. East
night, while a dtuqu of obi eold-heartcd
fellows were trying to sleep they were

They beard him say in a low, sweet
clat'Clidoil voice, "Now, Caroline dear
I do let me Beul the vow?do !"
"No, .lames, [cannot. What would
my father and mother say?" replied a
girlish voice.

Storics of Col. Fisk are cdttStantfy in
circulation, some true, others not, btit ?
little incident that oecurrqd not many
mouths before hjs death is perhaps one
of tho most touching pf any that hlrlP6
been given to the publio. This ddd
Mrs. Pfek takes especial pleasure ia
recalling, illustrating as it does, her
husband's kindness of heart, hia sym
pathy and readiness to help those who
needed aid. Col. Fisk had often noticed
in Twcrfty-third street n little crippld
newsboy*, and dnc day he spoke to him
in his bluff, oft-hand manner:
"Well, my boy, how's business?''
'?Not Tory* good sir?' was tho reply.
"What's the matter?".
"Why,'you see I'm lame, and t jad'fc
run, and tho other boys got uhead of
me, and I can't sell my papers very
well." ?
' Not.{uvery -good look-oat for you, t?
it ? I say my bay; b.ow would you like)
to go in business with me ?"
The- boy looked "perplexed and eyed
the Colonel curiously^
"I think we might strike ?p a bar
gttin. You come to tho Opera House
at 11 this morning. I've got a plan for
you; now be on time."
At 11 o'clock the boy Was tlicrc<
quite curious to know what the Uol.
wanted.
liulloa, boy; you're a good one. Now
see here; do you kuow a good place for
a paper stand ?"
?Yes sir, tip top/'surr(>
"Where is it ?"
'?Down here at thd Corner."
'illow much will a stand cost V'
? "I/ots of money j mtlch as fifty or t\
hundred dollars." * >J tW
' You dou't say so; why that's a for*
tune. Do you think there's money tobd
made there?" * u mi A i
^Yes, 1 do. It's a first rate place.''
take care of it and we'll bo partners, yort
and I will go into the paper business.'*
Col. Fisk then arranged With tfw boy
what of the profits he should receive,
told him when the stand should be ready
and sent him on his way rejoicing.. Tna
plan was successful. Trade was good*
and every week the boy carried his shard
of the money to his partner. Seeing the
boys determination, Col. Fisk quietly
put the money aside and one day gave
it ull to the boy releasing him from his
contract to pay any part of the money to
himself. When Col. Fisk diedthere
was nowhere a siuceror mourner than this
little newsboy, and the little stand on the
corner was heavily crapod on the day of
the burial.

"No," said the philosopher.
