^BITTEN BT W. M. THACXKUAY IN' A LADY'S
ALBUM.
''Coming from ? gloouiy ooui ?,
Place of Israelite resort,
Thin old lamp I've brought with mo.
Madam, on ita panee you'll seo
Tho initials K and E."
"An old lantern brought to mc?
Uj?ly, diri{,'v, battered, black!''
(Herc a lady, I suppose,
Turning np a pretty nose) -
"Pray, air, take the old thine back,
I've rio taste for bricabrac."
"Please- to mark tho letters twain" -
(I'm Buppo-ied tow pe ak a^ain) -
"Graven on tb-j lantern pane,
Can you tell me who waa abe.
Mistress of tho flowery wreath,
And the anagram beneath
The mysterious K E?
Full a hundred year;? arc gone
Pince tliIii tl..- beacon ?hone
From a.Venice balcony;
There, on summer nights, it hiing,
And her lovers came and ~-im:
To their beautiful K E.
Hush! in the canal below,
Don't you bear the plash oT oars,
* Underneath the lantern's glow,
And a thrilling voicejbeginn
To the sound of mandolins?
Begins binging of amore
Tuid delire and dolore
0 the ravishing tenore!
Lady, do you know thc tune?
Ah, we all of us have hummed it!
I've an old guitar has thrummed it,
Undcrjnanv a changing moon.
Shall I try it? Do Kc Mi * *
What is this? Mn for, the fact is,
That my hand is out of practice.
And my poor old fiddle cracked is,
And a man-I let thc truth out
Who's had almost every tooth ont,
Cannot sing as once he sung.
When he was young as you arc young,
When bc was young, and lutes wer
strung,
And love-lamps in the casement hung."
CAUGHT ii THE AG?*
Oiice, Jilling the summer solstice
(says a lady correspondent of Beadle'
Monthly,) when everybody that wa
anybody (except myself) had gon
out of town, I was left to my o wi
devices during the day and Ben.'
society in the evening, for wini
amusement I could find in hot, pave
ments, shaded houses, and libation
of ice-water, for the space of tw<
never-to-be-forgotten weeks.
All thc neighbors had de
sorted us; aud I had watched trunl
after trunk, and carriage after car
riage, starting for various destina
tions. Our next door neighbor, Airs
Beverley, had gone, with the t?v
children, and faithful black Hose, a
the very beginning of the summe
?littings; and as Mrs. Beverley wa
my especial admiration, and th
children my favorite amusement,
wondered how I could possibly go
through the weary days with on
them. Little "Dory," (short fo
Theodore.) whose father's eyes ha
olosed in this world without seein
the face of bis little son, was au an
mated sculpture of the purest marbi?
lighted up by dark orbs that scenic
to make whiter the ivory skin; an
his sister, two years older, w;.s th
most bewitching little romp that eve
spoiled white dresses, or set at nangt
all tlie rules of propriety.
As#for the gentle, sorrow-strieke
mother, whom scarcely any one evi
got a glimpse of, I had fairly storm''
her into a sort of liking for mo
scaled her castle on varions pretext
and carried oft' the children so fr
quently, that the fact of existent
became too apparent to be ignore?
All the family laughed at my passic
for Mrs. Beverly, and all that pe
taincd to her; every one acknowledge
that she was lovely and attractiv
but completely wrapped up in k<
children and the memory of a hap]
past. My feeling for her, howevc
amounted to perfect enthusiasm; ar
we had become very good frient
some time before her departure, til
had not gone among the "chart?
ing" Miss L.'s, and B.'s, an "! 'K'
with their rainbow-hued dresses; b
off among the given hills of Ne
Hampshire, where aunt and eousii
waited to welcome her and her ch:
dren to pure air and green pasture
She would be gone all summer, ai
had laughingly requested me to ke<
an eye on the house while I reniai
ed near it. It is needless for me
say that I kept two eyes perseverin
ly fixed upon the domicil whenev
opportunity offered; and held eu
less discussions with Ben. as
whether all the doors and windo*
were properly fastened-for a co
stitutional dread of burglars was o
of my idiosyncrasies, and I had fi
quently been . 'nonstrated with f
looking upon ti .n as snpernatni
beings-inasmuch as, from t
nature of my s-. ' . before retirin
1 evide.. iy l ip. -d them to hal
in burean draw, .. and store tin
selves away in small boxes.
Mrs. Bov< rley had frequen
spoken to me of a brot her, whom,
tho country people say, she seem
to "sot great store by;" and who v
now studying a profession in a d
tant city. He w.is to join her 111 N
Hampshire, and return with her o;
visit; and she had expressed a stro
desire that we should see each otb
I was quite persuaded that she bo]
a great deal from this seeing; am
must confess that the fact of
being Mrs. Beverley's brother tin
a halo of strange interest around ?
Esselton.
I often found myself thinking
him ami wondering what he.was 1
-or rather, what be would strike
as being like; for, of course, bissit
had drawn her own impre: ons
him for niy benefit, und if these
pressions wen- corn i ; must la
uncommonly nice ti v. His p
tograph waa decidedly handsoi
and without ever having seen him, I
' felt pretty well acquainted with him
in advance, and waited rather im?
patiently for October to bring Mrs.
Beverley back to town. I bad even
decided how to "do" my bair, and iu
wbat drass to appear, on my first pre?
sentation; but I could not bell) wish?
ing tbat soinethiug unforeseen and
romantic would occur to bring
about tbat first meeting, in a way
entirely different from the usual
I hackneyed course.
I bad my wish, as time will show.
About half of tho two weeks bael
woru away, when a very warm day
and night, tbat called forth experience
and comparisons from al. the "oldest
inhabitants," came down upon us
with fury; and after"gaspi jg thrungli
thc day in some sort of fashion, I left
my couch at midnight, in utter dis?
gust at my folly in supposing that I
could sleep with the thermometer
high up among the nineties, and be?
took myself to tho window.
Certain sounds that proceeded
from the next room convinced me
beyond a doubt that Ben., though
present in body, waa absent in mind;
aud with the pleasant consciousness
of being the only person in the house
at all alive to the allai rs of this mun?
dane sphere, I turned my attention
to tlie glorious moonlight that, aa
Hood enthusiastically says:
"Makes earth's commonest FCCITS appeal
All poetic, romantic, und tender."
Bat while engaged in vague specu?
lations about the moon aud stars, a
sudden noise brought my thoughts
earthward again; and glancing to?
ward Mrs. Beverley's back premises,
I actually saw a man on the uppei
verandah, opening one of the bed?
room windows!
My heart almost stood still with
terror; but by a fearful effort, I re?
strained myself from screaming
for Ben. was very bard to awaken,
and both our throats might bc eui
before this was accomplished.
Not venturing a second look, 1
retreated trembling fro m the window,
and proceeded to the task of arous?
ing Ben. as quietly as possible.
Having obligingly left bis dooi
unlocked for my especial comfort,
there was no time lost in effecting ai
entrance; and had my brother ben
capable of appreciating the vision,
he would have seen a wild creatur<
in white drapery, calling his nam;
in a night-mare whisper of terror
but, of course, without producing
I the slightest effect.
Ben. always slept with revolver.'
under his pillow, which made nu
chary of touchim; ' im-for fire-aria
affected . mo as a drawn sword dh
James thc First; Bui something mus
be done speedily, as I fancied tba
impudent man perhaps loading him
self at that very minute with mova
bles.
"Get up!" T shouted, waxing
stronger, "Ben.! Ben.! Get up, tin
moment!"
"'Tisn't time yet," grunted nv
provoking, brother, now half awake
as he turned over like a sluggard.
I never had any patience with peo
pie who almost require a charge o
artillery to bring them back to thei
sober senses; and shaking him no\
with right good will, 1 screamed
"Thieves! Robbers! Fire! (iel up!
A head t hat would have served fo
Medusa started from thc pillow; an
out came those horrible revolvers
pointing directly at nie. A fran ti
yell, that I tried in vain to Rmbthei
I issued-from my hps; and Ben., HO'
quite awake, shouted at me:
"Mariai What, in the name .
Heaven, is the matter? Do stop thu
confounded noise!"
Ile had quite forgotten to call in
"Minnie," as 1 always insisted o
being called; being terribly eames
he had gone buck to the humdrui
appellation that roused my intens
disgust. I was too much taken n
with the revolvers, just now, to r<
mind him of his omission, and Ix
tween my terror of the weapons, an
his desire to uso them immediate)
upon somebody, we seemed scarce]
likely to come to an understanding.
Finally, however, Ben. was mad
to comprehend what I had seen; an
being requested to retire while 1
donned a few articles of clothing,
waited in breathless suspense for b
reappearance.
"The fellow wiil not be in a hurry,
said he, in answer to my fears tin
lu; would escape; "he knows tl
family are ont ol' town. 1 shall g
a policeman, and secure bini qaie
ly."
And bidding me be of good co
rag", he closed the fro?t door, ai
looked np and down the street,
cowered in lite parlor, half disposi
to rush after Ben. and insist upc
accompanying bim; but I was n
exactly in promenade costume, ai
it would take so long to "get mys<
nj)," that by that time, tiie alb
would be over. Then, too, tho
dreadful revolvers might he used; ai
a hallet Would be almost sure to hal
in ray ann, or, perhaps, in soi
more vital p:>int, should I chance
be within shooting distance.
These considerations induced r
to remain where I was; ?d'!, i,
1 wanting dreadfully t<< know how mi
ters were progressing next door,
was obliged, however, to wait i
I Ben.'? return; and then to draw t
desired information from him, ph
by piece.
Alter an int' rminable lime,
made his appearance, saying: "\V(
the fellow's safely lodged at t
station-house for the night; let's
to bed, little girl."
And this was all, was it, after au
an excitement? Brevity may bo 1
soul of wit, but it ia not the soul of
satisfaction vtffcen one i?, hungcli?g
for information.
"Now," sai tl 1, planting myself on
tho ?fc?rs in a deckled, attitude,
"just please to remember that he is
my burglar; if it hadn't been for me
you would never have seen him, and
I insist upon hearing something about
him, Begiu at the beginning, aud
tell me what you did first, after yon
left me."
"Looked for a policeman," replied
lien., hopelessly.
"What next?"
? "Found one."
"Next?"
' "Told him 1 had a little job for
him."
"What then? Ben., do you happen
to know that you are a particularly
disagreeable and tormenting animal?
Why cati yon not give me a spicy
and graph.' count of your adven?
ture, (whi< .. . one that you certainly
do not have every night of your life,)
sb as t<> present il (Jenr)y to my
mind? No .," said I, "what was the
man doing when you found him:
Was he rolhng np the carpets, <>r
what?"
"He was not doing anything in
particular," was the reply, "we found
him comfortably lodged in the badi
bed-room, sound asleep."
I was fiilcd-with amazem< nt to find
that my burglar bad ouly wanted a
n ight's lodging.
"That does not follow at all," sal."
Ben. authoritatively, "ho was sure o:
his house before be begun, and being
just then in need of comfortable rest
he concluded to take it. and othei
things, at his leisure. Ho seemed
determined not to wake until we hat
turned on the gas full blast; wher
he sprung up and caught mc by tin
hair. A sight of my pistols, however
soon quieted him, tn say nothing o
the policeman's appliances. He's toi
nice-looking a fellow to be engage?
in such work, and he" carried it of
with a high air -protesting agains
being disturbed, and assuring us tba
he had a perfect right at Mrs. Bever
lev's, as ho was a relative of tba
hilly's."
"A relative?'' I repeat d, wit!
breathless ink-rest.
"That is what he said: but th
polio? man coolly replied, with a grin
'You know it ain't exactly the fasliio
for relatives to visit folks in your ol]
handed way-climbing in at thei
windows when they aro ont of town
and as y? u seem to be in want of
night's lodging, just put on you
duds and I'll aeconunod.at.ii you :
the station boase.' '.How dare yo
mention s ich a place to me?' stcrnie
thc grandiloquent"burglar! 'I tell yo
1 have just arrived in the city, tire
out with my journey, and carnie ben
at tin - request of my sifter, to iran:
act sonne business for her in ihisvei
house.' "
"His sister!" I exclaimed, in grc<
excitement; le.it Ben. went on regan
less:
" ?Do 1 look liku a hu..dar?' 1:
asked, striking an attitude! 'A
the burglars I ever sen were mu?
like other people,' said the unin
pressiblo policeman; '?.onie bette
sonne wors?; and cans..-you happen I
have Sb straight nose and be persoi
able-looking, ain't no reason why v
should let you off. So, ju>t you con
along quiet now, and it'll be tl
better for you.1 "i'm obliged to y<
for your invitation,' replied tl
burglar, who seemed more dispos?
to laugh than he had been y<
'which appears loo preying to I
declinad; but I eau assure vc
that T am very comfortable here, ai
also that [ have a perfect right to I
here.' 'A difference of opmio
mebbe,' returned the guardian of tl
public p. ace; 'but when I see fol
breaking into other folks' houses, n
orders is to nab 'em.' 'Bat y<
didn't see me doing anything of tl
kind,'retorted the culprit. 'You s;
me peacefully sleeping, and made i
unwarrantable assault upon im
'Well, this gentleman's sister saw yo
any how,' said the policeman, .lett
mined not to be baffled. 'Thei
observed the robber, with ratln r
comical smile, 'it is to a lady that
am indebted for these polite atti
tions?' So take care, little sist<
that he does not wreak hisvengean
on you. My experience of burgh
is not extensive, hut this fell?
doesn't look at all like his business
just, the kind of a man i'd like
smoke a cigar and have a good ti
with."

lac Great American Blood Purifier !
TH QUEEN'S DELIGHT !
THE QUI NN'S DELIGHT, the Rreat
American. Alt?r?t ive and Blood Piui
lier, is the most perfect vegetable con:- .
pound of alteratives, tonics, diu re ti cs and ?
diaphoretics; making it tho most effective
invigorating, rejuvenating and blood
cleansing cordial known to the world.
In introducing this nev/ ami extraordi?
n?r? medicino to the public, observation
leads us to remark that too ?ttl" attention
is paid to the "life of all flesh," Ibu blood.
Many discasi s, and, too, many complaints,
which have their origin in a vitiated state
of the blood, are treated only as symptoms
and result.-; whereas, if the remedy had
been applied to eurieh the blood and ren?
der it pure, both cause and effect would
have been removed. The Queen's Delight
is offered to thc afflicted usa ?-er- remedy
for those diseases arising fcc m an impure
condition of tho blood. It baa a direct
and specific action upon that fluid, and
consequently renders tho blood pure. It
is saiii, on high authority, that ''man no
sooner begins to live than he begins to
die, and that the characteristic^ ? f the
living organism are ceaseless change :...d
ceaseless waste." It is obvious, there for?,
to every reflecting mind, that unless tho
blood ispure, in supplying the waste tis?
sues with material, it must be tho cause cf
inuumet?'di- ills and const it ut ional disor?
ders, such as Scrofula, rheumatism, He?
patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma?
tions, Fevers, Ac Life and health is only
to be maintained hy the circulation of pure
arterial blood.
\Ve therefore advise every one v. hose
blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence
or excess, und whoso constitution i? im?
paired hy disease and is suffering from
Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump?
tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles,
Boils, Itching Humor of thc Skin, Erysi?
pelas, Skin Diseases, Totter, Roughness of
thc Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tho
Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic
Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the
Bladder and Kidneys, Pains i:i thc Pack,
General Debility, and for all complaints
arising from deficiency ami poverty of
blood, to use the Queen's Delight.
Fem iles of delicate constitution, suffer?
ing from weakness and depression o? mind
in consequence of those complaints which
nature imposes af the period of change,
have a pleasant and sure i*. mady in tho
Queen's Delight.
Children whose fair and ruddy complex?
ion gave early promise ol health and
beauty, but too soon become blanched urid
pale by some heredit?r; taint of the blood,
will have the rich boc ? restored by using
the Queen's Delight.
The tinac< lima ted and persons traveling
into wann countries will find the Queen's
Delight a gri at protection from all malari?
ous affection ano diseases ?hieb originato
in a chango of climate, diet and life.
The extraordinary and unprecedented
cures performed hj thc Queen's Delight
Compound is attracting the attention of
every one, not only at home, but abroad.
Thc'merits of this compound are teing
felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear
