M ISO^IT wT? A, rsrsT "Somebody." There's a ruoddlesonio "Somebody" poing about, And playing bia pranks, but we can't lind bim ont. Ho's np-stairs and down-stairs from morning till night, And always in mischief, but never in sight. The rognes I bare read of in song or in tale. Are caught at the end and conducted to Jail; But "Somebody's" tracks are all covered so well, He novor has socn the inside of a cell. Oar young fol*:? at home, at all seasons and times, .Aro rehearsing the role of "Somebody's ' crimes: Or, fast aa their feet and their tongaeB can well run. Gome to tell tho last deed the sly scamp has done. 'Somebody* has taken my knife," ono will say; " 'Somebody* has carried my pencil away;" "'Somebody'has gone and thrown dowu all tho blocks; " 'Somebody' ate np all the cakes in tho box." It is "Somebody" breaks all tho pitchers and platos, . And hides the boys' sleds, and runs oft with their skates, And turns on the water, and tumbles the beds, And steals all tho pins, and molts all tho doll's hoads. Ono night a dull sound, like tho thump of a hoad, Announced that one youugbier waB out of his bod; And he said, half "asleep, when asked what it meant, " 'Somebody' is pesbing me ont of the tent!" Now, !f thoBo high crimos of "Somebody" don't cease, We must Bummon in tho detective police; And they, in their wisdom, at once will make known The culprit belongs to no house but our own. Then should it turn out, after all, to be true, That our young folks themselves aro "Somebody" too, How queer it would look, if wo Baw them all go Marched off to the station house, G'S in a row. -o-1 THE l'ECU 1.1 Alt THIEF. Tho wealthy merchant, Van Beeren, of Amsterdam, went to his banker's one morn? ing, to get fifty new-coined florins. He had with him a magnificent Newfoundland dog, with curly hair, and expressive faco and beautiful true brown eyes. Oppas was th ii favorito of tho whole fami? ly and the steady companion of his master, whom he never ieft, except when ho had atriot orders given him to watch the chil? dren, or to keep guard over soins articles of value. Van Beeron could safely put Im gcld-headed cone in the middle of tho street, and say to Oppas: "You stay hero uutil I come back;" and there was no doubt of find? ing cane and dog at tho samo Kpot after hours had gono by. I would not have ad? vised anybody to touch him then. If his master wanted to go to church or to tho theatre, or in fact anywhere, where he didn't want the dog to accompany him, all ho had to do was to look at him and say: "Oppas, go home!" and Oppas turned round, al? though mortified, and went straight home, without looking to the right or left. Mynheer Van Beeren had taken his dog along to-day as usual, and had rather a lengthy conversation with his friend, tho Danker, whom he also told for what purpose he wanted the new florins. To-day was the silver-wedding day of one of his old servants named Claus, who had been in the service of his father, aud been true to them both for many years. As the man was not very well off, for ho had a great many children to provide for, ho wanted to ?ive them a pleasant surprise with these fty florins. He received them tightly done up in a roll, but the silver was rather heavy, and Mynheer Van Beeren rather lazy. Ho could not put it in his pocket; ho did not like to carry it in his hand; and therefore, as soon as he had regained tho street, he gave it to his dog, who proudly put it in his mouth and marched solemnly along with his master, uutil they reached tho house of his former servant. Mynheer Van Beoren did not oven now take tho money from the dog, but wanted to have the fun of seeing the dog himself deliver it. He did this elegantly, for when his master said to him, "Oppas, now givo np your present," and pointed to the surprised ser? vant, he went up to him, wagged his tail and allowed him quietly to tako tho mouey out of his mouth. The old servant was greatly moved; he thanked his master with tears in his eyes, at the same time caressing tho dog, who seemed to bo well pleased. Moreover, when Mynheer Van Beeren loft, Claus bogged leave to retain the dog, around whom the childreu had gathered, for a while longer, that he might reward him for bringing so rich a present. The children joined in his entreaties, until the merchant said pleasant? ly: "Well, for my part, you may have him as a guest, but don't over-feed him, and afterwards, just open the door for him and say: 'Now go home, Oppas,' then you need not bother about him any more; he knows his way." "But will he stay here, when you go off?" "Certainly; ho does anything I tell him. Oppas, you stay here," he said to the New? foundland dog, who looked at him with his sagacious eyes, and then sat quietly down, as if to wait what would happen. When his master went off immediately after, he never stirred; and now the ohilareu began to coax and oaress him, while tho woman prepared a good repast for him, which he enjoyed hugely, until tho time came when they had to send him off again. When Claus then opened tho door for him and said, as he had been told: "Mow, Oppas, you go home!" be wagged his tail once more, and returned straight home. A few months bad gone by, and Mynheer Van Beeren had to do busiuoa? ugaiu one afternoon with the samo banker. The dog wout along as usual, and also lifted bimsell when he arrived at the counting table and offered his paw to tho cashier. He, how over, would not notice him to-day, and all seemed to be somwhat excited; the cause ol which was immediately explained by thc banker himself, who just then came out ol his private office. The thing was this: There had been com? mitted a theft that morning, with such agility and deterity, that the matter was wholly inexplicable. One of tbs clerks had made rolla of florins, and had placed ten of these, which were intended for the private expenses of the family, on his employer's doak. The latter had counted them himself twice over, so there could have been no mistake, and yet one of the rolle disappoar ed in a moment, while he had been handing a few letters to be copied into the main office. A theft seemed hardly possible, unless it was executed with great boldness tbrongb the window, which happened to be open, in whioh case it most have been dono in an incredibly short space of time. How conld a thief dare to climb into a window in open day-light, in n busy street, and if hu did, why had he only taken one roll, when there were ten of them lying right near? Mr. Van Groteu, Buoh was tho banker's name, hud, in tho meantime, sent to thc police office, to niako knowu the facts, nnd OHO of the forco had como up to take a look at tho plnco. Ho shook his head when they showed him tho window and tho desk. Tho Int ter stood nt least six feet from tho window, so that a person, who might have jumped up to tho window-board, could not from there have got at tho money, but was obliged to cuter the office, whilo Mynheer Van Groton asserted that ho had not left it for half a minute. Besides, tho little room had no separate entrauco or exit, but. only through tho main office could a person get into it. The affair remained shrouded in darkness and tho roll of fifty florins, of courso gone. Mynheer Van Groton bad become so afraid, that ho shut tho window every timo ho left his mom, and as no further theft was committed, the loss was at last forgotten; at least, nothing moro was said about it. Two or threo weeks might bavo gone by, and Mynheer Van Beeron was just sipping his afternoon coffee in his "study," when old Claus sent bis name in, wishing to thank his old employers. "Thank me!" said Mynheer Van Beeron, "for what? for my last present? Ho has thanked me for that long ago, and since thou I bavo not seen bim; but let the old mau como iu." Tho door opened immediately after, and Claus, bat in band, appeared upon the threshold, but ho looked very miserable. "Halloo, Claus, what is tho matter with you, mau? You have grown palo and so lean, that I should hardly have known you. Have you l een sick? I never hoard a word aboutit." "O, m y saviour, " tho poor man sighed; "I have been very sick; so sick that I did not think I should get up again ; I dare not do anything yet; tho doctor has given me strict orders not to work; ho ouiy allows me to walk out in tho air lo regain some strength." "Poor Claus," Van Beeren said, compas? sionately; "and why didu't you let me know of it?" * "O, my dear sir." tho old man said fer? vently; "you knew it nin-how, for you came to my rescue in my need in such a magnuui mous and delicate way. I do not know bow to thank you." "My dear Claus," said Vau^Beeren, "1 certainly would have been most happy to bavo assisted you. if I had heard a word ol it; and perhaps it is not too lato now; but I assuro you 1 knew nothing of it, und du not understand what you mean by saying I helped you in a magnanimous and delicate manner." "O, my dear sir," said the old mau, "why not allow me to thank yon, for you can'l deny it. Your own good elog brought me tho money, yon know." "O, is that what yon mean," Mynheer snailed, "but my dear friend, that was or your silver wedding, nud nobody thor thought you were going to be ill." "Ah, no; I don't mean that," the olel mai saiel, sbakiug his head; "the second time about three weeks ago, when the dog cann to me by himself and brought mo anothei such roll. He bad been scratching at th? door feir some time, before wo beard bin and could admit him." "My dog?" tho merchant asked in amaze ment; "my Oppas?" "Why certainly ; ho delivered tho nioner at my bed-side, and walked off wagging Li; tail." "And how much did the roll contain?" "Just as much as tho first-fifty florins," was tho answer. "That is strange," said Mynheer, amazed slapping bis knee with his Hat baud, "bu Oppas shall come in." "And you really knew nothing of it?" "Not ii syllable. "But where can Ibo dog bavo got tbi money?" "He stole it !" the merchant roared out "stole it in exposition to all laws; no! never saw the like. Send up tho dog, Claus be will probably be down stuirs in tho yarel wo wiP give liiin an examination. Slay did you feed bim again that time?" "Well, you may well imagine that, Myn beer, tho children didn't hardly know whal to do for him, and he staid with us ubou an hour, until T sent him homo again, bc causo I feared you might want him." "But I can't comprehend yet-." "Well, never mind, Claus. I'll tell yoi that after a while; just send iip tho dog." Oppns carno, exhibiting great joy; for b jumped up at Clans continually and wnp ged his tail, as if to show his joy at the ol man's recovery. "I say, Oppas," Iiis master said, "whn havi you beon about, eh? What do I bea of you?" Tho groat Newfoundland do probably d" 1 not understand what bis mas ter said, but he did not like h^ tone or hi . looks; ho had become shy; but wagged hi tail in a moro lively manner, seeming onb a little oppressed. "Well, said his master, "how is it Where did you gul, the money that yo ! brought old Clans; to got another extr i dinner, eh?" The dog grew more shy, an ! now lay down on his belly and crawled u to his master, who said, laughing: "Abs do yon acknowledge your guilt at last Oh, yon good for nothing beast!" As soo as the dog saw the cheerful face, his fear was gone at once. Before Mynheer could have thought of it, he jumped up to him and licked his whole face in such a manner, that he could hardly keep him off. When he had quieted him a little, he told Glaus the whole story of the theft at Yan Gro? ton's, which none but the dog could have accomplished, and also quieted the old man about the theft. He said the dog had only done what he would have done himself, if he had known of the sickness of his old faithful servant. He should not trouble himself about the money, for he had a per? fect right to keep it, Then as soon as Claus was gone, ho took a roll with fifty florins, put on his hat, and gave them to tho dog to bring back tho stoleu money to his friend Vau Groten. "Now," thought Vau Beeren, when upon reaching tho house ho fouutl tho window open, on account of tho warm weather, "if 1 send Oppas in now by tho samo way ho got tho money, wo will know right off if ho can jump that high." Upon reaching tho window sill, ho there? fore said: "Oppas, hop, jump up quick." With ono jump he was there, and waited for orders, wagging his tail. Mynheer Van Beereu beard a loud cry of astonishment, but when tho dog turned to him, bo beckoned to bim to jump into tho office, which bo did, upon which he himself went into thc office. Vau Groton was not a little astonished when he saw his friend's dog with a roll of money iu his mouth. Van Beereu soon solved tho problem to him. They laughed a great deal about thc nfluir, but Mynheer never loiL tho window open ofter that when ho left bis office, until ho had a little lattico affixed to it. Ho did not trust Oppas, for ho thought ho might again get hungry for on extra meal, and try to placo himself in possessiou of it by simi? lar menus.
