A RIVAL REVIVAL.
"Boss," said Parson Nicholas, "I
seed a article in yer paper what said
dat no man can get along in his business
lessen he advertises. Now does
you really put dat statement down as a
fack?"
"Yes, old mau, the statement, in a
measure, is true."
Yes ; well I'se sorter tuck up dat
notion myself. I want ter succeed
in my undertakings, so I wants yer
to sorter fix up a advertisement fur
me."
"What do you want to advertise?"
"Well, yer see, I'se running a revival
meeting out here at de Moss Rock
church, an' wid all my energy au?
what sorter prize is it when yer pushes
a thing ?"
"Enterprise."
"Yes, sah, dat'sit. A good word, too
lemme tell yer. Well, wid all my enterprise
I couldn't get de sinners to
come up to de mourner's bench. De

saying dat times is bard, and dat dar
ain't much business. A buck nigger
what's got a church jist across the
creek from mine, rakes in sinners ebery
night. He come around me sometimes
and tries to crow ober me. Now ef
dar is anything what makes me feel
limphatic?dat's anuder good word,
boss, I got it from a show man?it's fur
a buck nigger to shake his kinks round
me."
"Jes state in yer paper that Parson
Nicholas is got de best mourner's bench
in de country ; dat ebery convenience is
provided. And put in dis here clinchin'
clause: 'Mourners what come to
dis bench is warranted ter pull though
in half the time required at any udder
bench. De ligion got at dis bench has
numerous?dat's a handsome wordtestimonials
from prominent church
members showing it ob a superior quality,
and is inshored for a year."
"Will you put dat in? Yes? Much
obliged ter you. Say, boss, can't you
fling in suthin about dat nigger preacher
ober de creek stealing corn ? Dat's
opposition. Jes say dat he stole six
bushels of corn from a white man.
No; come ter think about it, boss, don't
say nothin' about de com, because dat
was fore we fell out and I was wid him
at de time."
STICKING TO BUSINESS.
Here's a good story, which the boys
in camp will appreciate, told recently
at the Army and Navy club, says the
Washington Post. It illustrates an
Irishman's disposition to carry out his
orders. Hugh Mc., a son of the Emerald
Isle, who had volunteered in the
Sixth regiment of South Carolina infantry,
was stationed at the beach on

one pass without the countersign, and
that to be communicated only in a
whisper. Two hours afterward, the
corporal, with the relief, discovered by
the moonlight Hugh up to his waist
in water, the tide having set in since
he was posted.
"Who goes there ?"
"Relief."
"Halt, relief. Advance, corporal,
and give the countersign."
"I am not going in there to be
drowned. Come out here and let me
relieve you."
"Divil a bit of it; the lieutenant told
me not to lave me post."
"Well, then, I'll leave you in the
water all night" (going away as he
spoke).
"Halt ! I'll put a hole in ye if ye
pass without the countersign. Them's
me orders from the leftenant." (Cocking
and leveling his gun.)
"Confound you, everybody will hear
it if I bawl it out to you."
"Yes, me darling, and the leftenant

Prepared for Emergencies.?A
clergyman, well known for his love of
"horseflesh," was driving through a
country village the other day, breaking
in a new horse, when he overtook
a doctor of his acquaint ance on foot.
"Jump iu, doctor," he cried, pulling
up, "V ve got a horse here that it is a
perfect treat to sit behind."
The doctor jumped in, and the parson
drove off.
The horse was "a treat" in the sense
of speed and skittishness, and presently
stood stock still, and shot both hind
legs underneath the trap, splitting it to
pieces and throwing out both the occupauts.
The doctor jumped to his feet, feeling
himself all over to see if he was injured.
The man of cloth also got upon his
feet.
"Look here!" exclaimed the doctor,
"what on earth do you meau by inviting
me to ride behind a horse like

J6T "Mr. Dusenberry, here's the
story of a man's hair turned white
from fright. Now, that's a little hard
to believe," isn't it?" "Oh, no, my
dear. The medical books are full of
such cases. I once saw a girl's hair
turn white right before my own eyes.
She was on a chair back reaching for
preserves on the top shelf of a pantry.
The chair tilted and she fell heavily
to the floor." "And her hair turned
white?" "When I helped her up her
hair was as white as the wall." "Oh,
that's an exaggeration, Mr. Dusenberry.
Caused by fright, was it?"
"Well, I don't know that I'll iusist
upon that part of it my dear. She
had landed her head in the flour barrel."

A REMARKABLE RAT STORY.'
BY ANNIE AHHMORE.
One evening I found myself gliding
dreamingly upon the pale and shimmering
waters of the Ilhine, in company
with some hundreds of others,
who, like myself, were gazing rapturously
at the panoramic succession of
chef d'cevres of nature.
I had become separated from my
party somewhat, and was standing
elbow to elbow with a man whose long
robe and Hat cap proclaimed him a
son of Israel, when we came in sight of
that tiny islet, whereupon is built the
"Rat Tower," famed in legend.
Here it was, I believe, that the
wicked Bishop Hatton, who refused to
opeu his granaries to the starving people
of the little town, had eveutually
to retire from the myriads of rats,
which in judgment haunted him.
"And he did not escape them after
all," remarked my informer, as if in
answer to my thoughts, "for they swam
after him, and swarmed into the tower,
and ate him, body and bones, in his
bed. For all that, I like rats." And
he cast a side glance at me, as if he
would be happy to explain himself.
A little surprised at three peculiarities
about him?his Yankee accent,
his communicativeness, and his last
remark?I turned to look at him.
I saw a luxuriant mass of dark
beard and hair, and a pair of keen
black eves recardinu me over a tower
ing aquiline nose.
"Yes, I like 'em," continued he, "for
if it wasn't for rats I wouldn't be
standing here this evening enjoying
all this fine scenery like a gentleman.
If ever I get to be a Baron Rothschild,"
and he naively held up his seedy loose
cloak with a laugh, "I'll have for my
crest a carriage drawn by a swarm of
rats and myself as the driver."
"Why?" I asked, curiously.
"Want to hear a rather queer story ?"
be returned. "Take this seat, then,"
dragging a campstool toward me, "and
while I go on with my yarn you can
go on with your sketching. Wish
you'd give me that one of the 'Rat
Tower,' you've just finished?for a
memento, ye know."
"I tore it out of my book and immediately
handed it to him. He put
it away with profuse thanks, then continued,
in a confidential tone :
"Once upon a time, when I was over
on your side of the water, I was put
in quod?Sing Sing, ye know?and it
was to be for five years. Don't be
scared." (I had drawn back a trifle.)
"I was as innocent as?well, as yourself
; but accidents will happen in the
best regulated families, and there was
I, instead of the right man, sentenced
to five years with hard lahor?lor no
matter what. I was to go at the stonebreaking
as soon as I was able, my
health was rather weakly, and thinks
I, it'll be a good while before it gets
better, so I shammed sick, bamboozled
the doctor, ye know?waiting until
something would turn up."
"The right man would have been
the best thing to turn up," remarked I,
a little incredulously.
"Yes, but ye see, he didu't," returned
he, with a sharp look, "aud I never
expected he would. Well, the governor
was getting about tired of my
weak health when six weeks was past,
and had just made up his mind that a
turn in the opeu air with the chain
gang would do me a world of good,
when?I shifted my bob."
"When you what ?"
"Cut ray lucky?bolted?door unbolted?whichever
you like."
"You escaped?" ejaculated I covered
with dismay at the nature of my
acquaintance.
"That's it," responded he with a
wink, but don't be uneasy. I was the

Ilglll/ UiilUj J O TTMl.ll/ V\S
how'twas done ? Ruts."
"Yes," I faintly responded, trying
in vain to single out my friends from
the crowd.
"It took 'em six weeks, but they
worked hard, the little beggars. You
see, I'd been mopin' there in my bed
fur three days wondering how I was to
get clear of the 'bard labor' part of
the business, and when the jailer gave
me my supper in the evening I just
chucked it at the back of the bed, to
show him I was loo sick to eat. That
night I thought the rats would eat me
up; they ran over the bed in dozeus,
and whenever I fell asleep they tried
nibbling my ears when everything else
gave out, and such a squeaking and a
fighting and a backbiting, and a tailbaring
never was heard tell of unless
at an old maids' sewiug circle."
Witty in his way, but if it had not
been for the fellow's piercing eyes fixed
point blauk ou my face, holding me
spellbound, I would have rushed to
the other end of the boat, to get clear
of him and his horrible story.
"Well, when daylight came I found
wknl tlip rniv hint hppn nhrwit TlieV
had eaten up every scrap of bread, and
gnawed the very mattress in holes to
get at the soup I had spilled. This set
me to thinking, and by nnd by I hatched
a plan that's not often been tried, I
fancy.
"Every time I got my porringer of
soup after that I smeared the door just
round the lock with the soup, and set
the bench up, so as the rats could run
up and down at their convenience;
and I was careful not to let another
particle of food lie arouud the cell to
divert their attention. They were
pretty shy at first, and would hanker
round the mattress, but by and by
they began to sneak up, one and
another of 'em, to smell and lick ; and
then more came, and the gnawing began,
and as long as I kept it greased
they went on with the work that I had
set out for 'em like paid Christians."
"Extraordinary!"
"Yes; you don't look as if ye believed
a word of it though. Never
told it to anybody yet who could all at
once take it in. Fact, though ! Yes,
sir, aud wheu they found I wasn't go- i
ing to hurt, 'em they grew as bold as j
little clogs, and would swarm up and
dowu that bench, and gnaw at that .
door all night long. I always took the
beuch away in the daytime, and they
knew as well as I did when night was
coming, and when I went back with
the bench I could hardly tread for 'em
about my feet. r
"There wasn't the least chance of
the jailer 'smelling a rat,' for, don't ye *
see, the cell was half dark all the time, [
and if he had come in he'd never have \
noticed the way the door was going, ."t
But he wouldn't have come in for ?">, (
he was so scared of the rats, and ueith- j
er would the doctor. I used to stand <
at the grating to answer the doctor's <
questions, and the rats would run all
over me before his very face till he'd '<
poke away in sheer disgust; and as for H
the jailer, he'd poke my victuals in and shout,
'Grab yer grub, or you'll be too (
late!' (

me and my rats, and resolved to put 1
me in another cell, but I begged 'em
with tears to let me stay, for says I,
'Them creeturs is company to me?
hurt not a hair of their heads!' ^
"Then they sent me a rattrap and ?
some poison, but you may be sure I 1
didn't do a big busiuess with them, *
[though I did put two or three useles ^
old fellows in the trap that had got t
their teeth all broken and blunted. t
"The creeturs got so cunning! They v
used to follow me about like little ?
black shadows, with their eyesshiuing c
like needles, and their teeth gritting, t
until the grub would come along, and '
then I had to fight 'em off while I .
bolted my share. J
"Well, I was there for six weeks, i
and I heard I was to go on the chain- f
gang next day. Thinks I, 'Not for ?
Joe !' So that night I tried the wood ?
of the door, and sure enough the rats
had done for it. I poked my fingers
through as if it had been brown paper,
[and in a jiffy had the lock picked with "
a crooked nail.
"I was kind of sorry to leave the
little beggars, but I just put two of
'em in my pocket, and kicked the rest .
of 'em back, and shut them in, and J
then I walked out as bold as brass
past the watchman in the passage, and
got out through the gate under the '
gov'ner's own carriage as he was goin'
out to a hop.
' I guess he hopped some next day ! i
Would ye like to see the little varments
that helped me out of quod ? I've
kept 'em ever siuce, and?here they c
are." S
He opened the flaps of his outside (
pockets, and out jumped two immense ,
rats. \
This was a drop too much. Screaming
with horror, I sprang up, and hurl- t
ed myself among the crowd to avoid j
contact with the hideous creatures.
Half a minute afterwards the steamer
paused for a brief time at Bingen.
and to my intense relief I saw him ?
landing with a crowd of voyagers, \
and disappearing in the streets of that '
poetic town. f
I was not quite so thankful half an
hour later, when I discovered that he "
or his rats had taken my watch, purse, 1
and broach as an additional memen- ?
toes to add to the sketch of the Rat ?
Tower. ^
And if there was one particle of
truth in his story?unless in his being 1
an escaped convict?I am very much 1
mistaken. I believe it was all a sham, j

THE PRIMROSE WAY,
BY

Austin Bidwell started life as
i clerk in Wall Street, and soon
mccumbed to the allurements
>f the primrose way. His first
eriminal venture was a trip to
Europe to sell stolen bonds. Af;er
a few similar enterprises in
New York, he returned to Europe
vitli a pair of shrewd confederates
and engaged in a svsteinitic
campaign of swindling the
)rincipal banks of the continent,
rhe conspirators were so successul
in this that they next laid
iiege to the seemingly impreglable
vaults of the Bank of En
>dand, and actually succeeded in
lecuring over /T, 000,000 by artully
executed forgeries. But retibution
came at last, and this
mlliant coup cost Mr. Bidwell
jo years in English prisons.
The story of his experiences is
old in "From Wall Street to
