"When it cnll'd us to the moonlight.
With music, mirth, an?J song:
Ah, time is not the same tiuie
With many a home we know ;
Ami in the quiet churchyard
There's tnauy a friend lies low !
Ah, time is not tho same time
It was in days of yore ;
Then children smiled around us
That smile for ut no more :
But they're in heaven?and angels,
That we, love, may not see,
Are looking down from paradise,
And blessing thee and me I
And when the day shall rise, love,
And it may not be far,
Our children from the skies, love,
Shall come to where wo are ;
They'll- be the first to meet us,

Their linnds be first to greet us,
And lead us to our God !

Doesticks Determines to be Garrotted.
Wonderfully popular ha9 the fash
ionable amusement of garrotting lately
become. It seetns to be one of the do
litthtful recreations of high life, to be
choked and robbed?the hero victim?
of the garotte are as much lionized in
j?olite circles at present, as Polish no
bles and Hungarian oneo were. In
stead of stars, ribbons and onlvrs, dam
aged faces and broken heads are now
the rage in Fifth Avenue. A smashed
nose is a surer passport to social dis
tinction than the Order of the Garter,
and a black eye is better capital for
soiree and party free passes than a
dozen crosses of the Legion of Honor,
Garrotting is exceedingly useful, bio,
hi matrimonial speculations. A fits!
friend of mine, young Peboots, owed
old liootjack, the oil merchant, $300,
for money advanced to pay College expenses?young
Delioots' guardian sent
liiin the dimes to settle the account.?
That O.VPnilinr vminr?
B lytwwio CUt UV'WII
to a friendly game of w poker" with a
few friends, much faster than himself,
suvd after five deals, his " pile" wasn't
worth a Spanish quarter. Young De
boots cogitated, and next, morning gol
up an artistic black 03*0, with some In
dia ink and a little gamboge, put a
couple of strips of court plaster 011 his
forehead, and with his arm in a sling,
presented himself to old Bootjack.?
lie told a doleful story of having been
garrotted, and bo showed the marks,
Bootjack believed the yarn, and wrote
a long letter to yonng Deboots' guardian
for more money for that young
gentleman. Bootjack's fine daughter
saw young Deboots in her father's office
?pitied tho interesting young man,
askpd pajm to introduce him?in three
days young Deboots was invited to ii
large party at old Bootjack's, where
he was the lion of the evening, and
where he recounted his adventure with
his garrotters, more than twenty times,
with additions and variations: Matilda
Jane was captivated with the brave
young man?the brave young man improved
his opportunities; and four days
ago eloped with Matilda Jane, whe
has a hundred thousand in her own
right from her grandaunt. Young Deboots
recovered from his black eye the
first time lie washed his face?ho took
his arm out of the black handkerchief,
and pulled the court plaster off his
face the night he was married, and has
been a weli man ever since.
Pigford, my esteemed friend and
fellow-boarder at Mrs. Snngley's, has
been garrotted?and it really seems as
if the robbers must have intimately
known his private affairs, because the
event occurred on the night of the very
day that he received a remittance from
England to pay Mrs. S. his five
fuontlts' board?lie appeared at the
breakfast table next morning with a
countenance so much damaged, and
was so cast down on Mrs. S.'s account,
that she could not find it in her heart
to refuse him three months' longer
credit, until he can get another remittance
from England.
Jcnks, another one of onr boarders,
was garrotted twice in one wee!:?it has
a bewildering effect upon Jenks?it
makes him unsteady in the legs, and
causes his breath to smell of rum
punch?on the first occasion of the
robbing and choking Outrage, ho rung
the area bell of the house on the other
side of the street until a policeman
interfered, and 1 trought him home?
then Jenks inveigled the policeman into
the house, and delivered him over
to me with many formalities, assuring
me that he was a garrotter whom he
/had overpowered and captured by
main strength, and he showed the star
on the M. P.'a breast as the place
where the invincible fist of Jenks had
" smashed his jaw." Jenks was gar
rotted again two days after, and
brought home by a gentlemanly individual,
who picked his pockets at the
door, took his overcoat, changed hate
with him, and then rang the l?ell for
the girl to come and let Jenks into the
house. The girl came and found this
individual trying to whittle off one of
the pickets of the iron fence with his
i ! '. - _ L I1 - -!J.JL 1 .
penknife, and meanwhile making a
r Furious attempt to sing the words of
the Evening llyinn to the Virgin to
classic air of Hoot Hog or Die.
The mania has extended even to the
kitchen, and the servants are now following
the example of their betters,
and getting garrotted on every favorable
opportunity?the boy goes to the
butcher's ; he is invariably, according
to his own account., attacked by a band
ot ruffians and robbed of the mbney
before he gets home?this has happened
four successive days in broad day-'
light, a id lias cost Mrs. Snagley about
four and sixpnee a time. I sent Sally,
the little errand girl, with a dime for
some beer, and she returned in tears,

She had her fist full of lemon candy,
and had two big apples in her pocket,
which I suppose the robbers hau given
her.
I am positively frightened?things
arc truelv in a dreadful state in my
ncighlwrhood?I dare not travel on
the sidewalk, and have ruined my best
pantalOo.is walking through the slush
1 in the middle ot the road. I imagine
thero is a garrotter under ever paving'
stone, or hiding behind every lump
post. Daylight somotimes shows me
r the strange mistake I hadmiade in the
night. 1 find that I havo been two
s blocks out of my way to avoid a bro- j
> ken wheelbarrow which I took to bo a j
i concealed ruffian ; and havo run half a
mile to get away from a pump, which I
imagined was a fierce garrotter with a
club raised, and have on nine occa-j
' sions crossed the street through a kncci
deep puddle, to escape a molasses hogs-,
head, which I supposed to he a rotund |
i robber, Iving in wait for the subscri-j
' her. This state of tilings was unondut
rable, and 1 accordingly armed my
self for the want. I got a revolver, a
bowie-knife, a dagger, a slungshot, a
i sword-cane, a 44 b llv," a policeman's
club, a pair of brass knuckles,
and six good large paving-stones,
which I carried in n ?'

in my over coat pocket?there wasn't
an inch of me that wasn't guarded by
something that would shoot, 6trike, or '

time?then I thought I'd load it, which i
t I did, putting so much powder into
each barrel, that I had to drive the [
, ball in at the end with a tackhammor,|
then I tried to lire it, and not a barrel |
would go off?then at dinner I acci-|
dentally dropped it, and it all went olfi

for my latchkey, I can't find anything

I have, on tour or five different occasions,
attempted to pay my hoard in

Nigger Banking.
That is a capital story which is told I
of Cato, an old negro in Kentucky, i
noted for his peculiar kind of cunning. ;
lie sncccedea, the story runs, on one
occasion, in making his fellow-servants |
in the neighborhood believe that bank- <
itia was a verv nrofitable business : in- <
somncli that they concluded to throw
all their change into a common fund,
and start rf bank. Old Cato, however,
t9ok giKxl care to have himself constituted
as 2'hc Banks to whom all the
sixpences and shillings of the darkies
were to be paid over.
" And now," said Cato, " whenever
nigga borrow sixpence out o* dis bank
to buy 'bacey, ho got to come back in
t'ree weeks and pay in two sixpence,
and in dis way you see ebery sixpence
bring anodersixpence, till a'ter awhile
all do niggah get rich."
Upon this principle, the (: bank"
went into operation, old Cato always
taking care that every darkey should
" fork over" according to" bank-rules."
But in the course of time some of the
stockholders thought they " smelt a
rat," and called on Cato to withdraw
their capital from the bank, when the
following conversation took placo between
Cato and Jack :
Jack?" Well, Cato, wo want to
draw our money from do bank, and
quit dis banking business."
Cato?" Did you hear de news ?"
Jack?"No; what news dat, Cato?"
Cato?"W'y de bauk done?broke
las' night."
Jack?" Who care what de hank
do? I tell you I want my shar' ob de
money."
unto?" Wall, but I tell you dat de
bank am broke." ,
Jack?441 not talkie' about dat. I
say wliar's de nunwy f'
Cato?44 "NVliv, you fool, don't you
know dat w'en de bank break, de money
all gone, sartin 1"
Jack?44 Well, but ichar de money
gone to ?"
Cato?44 Dat's more 'an dis niggah
know. All ho know 'bout it is, dat
when white folks' bank break de money
always lost, and nicrgah bank no better
dan tie white folks!"
Jack?44 Wall, wheneber dis niggah
'gage in banking again, ho hope de
cholera git him fust V'
Cato?44 Berry sorry de bank broke
?berry sorry but it can't be helped
now, niggah !"
And Lore the reporter left tho bankers
in conclave.
A Great Cure-AllSeveral
gentleman wore talking one
evening at the bouse of a friend, when
ono of them exclaimed, 44 Ah ! depend
upon it, a soft answer is a great cureall."
At this stage of the conversation,
a bov who sat behind a table began
to listen, and repeated, as he
thoiirrht. rillitft liini&nlf u A on I
1 """1 *" !
swer is a groat cure-all." " Yes, that's ,
it," cried the gentleman, starting, and i
turning round; "yes, that's it; don't j
you think so, my lad ?" The boy t
blushed a little at finding himself so
unexpectedly addressed, but answered,
" I don't know that I undorstatand you, ]
sir." (
" Well, I will explain, then : In t'?e i
days of my boyhood, it so happened |
that, in the school to which I was sent, '
my seat was next to a lad named Tom )
Tucker. When I found he lived in a ]
small house behind the academy, I began
to strut a little, and talk about ]
what my father was; hut as lie was a |
capital scholar, very much thought of j
by the boys, we were soon on pretty
good terms; and so it went on for
some time. Aftor awhile some fellows
of my stamp, and I, witli the rest, got
into a difficulty with one of the ushers,
and some how or other, we got into the
notion that Tom Tucker was at the
bottom of it. .
"'Tom Tucker! who is he V I cried,
angrily. ' I'll let him know who I
am !' and I went into a passion to Tom, (
and said, 4 I'll teach you to talk alnnit
inc in this way 1' But ho never wink- "
ed or scented in the least frightened, ,
but stood still, looking at mo mute as (
a lamb. 'Charles,' he said, 'you may |
strke me as much as you please ; but I <
shan't strike hack again ; fighting is a |
jK?or way to settle difficulties. I'm 1
thinking when you are Clmrle3 Ever- ,
ott, I'll talk to you."
"Oh what an answer was that!? ]
How it cowed me down 1 So firm, ,
and yet so inild ! I felt there was no
fun in having the fight on one side. I (
was ashamed of mysolf, iny temper, ,
and cveything about ine. I longed to
get out of his sight. I saw what a ^oor |
foolish way my stylo of doing things |
was. I fv.it that Tom had completely
got the better ot me; that there was
power in his principles superior to {
anything T liad ever seen before ; and t
from that hour Tom Tucker had an in- i
' na r1 -.~nc* *n?r
^"*y*ys**ssg*
Auenco over me nobody ever had before
or since; it has been for good, too.?
That, you see, Is the power, of a soft
answer.'"
Aneodote of Judge Daniels.
Tho late Judge Daniels of tho Supreme
Court of North Carolina was
distinguished, not only for his great
learning, but for his pure integrity
and iunoccnt, chikVlike simplicity of
character, llo had acquired the habit
of swearing when a boy, and it clung
to him so close, that his efforts in more
mature age could not conouor the disposition.
One of his brethren of ths
bench requested the Judge to accompany
him to a certain church, on a
certain Sunday. The Judge consented.
and while the offertory was in progress,
and the solemn words "Lay not
up for yourselves treasures uj?on earth"
fee., was being uttered by the minister.
mil the click, click, cliclc, approached
icar and more nearer, the good old
nan was seen to fumble his purse and
iull out au X. He was heard to whisker
to his brother bv his side and repiest
the loan of a dollar. His brother
nodded his head.
He then nsked tor a half-dollar, his
brother replied that he had no change
.vith him except for his own especial
lse on theoccasion. The Judgeclinchid
his X a moment, hesitated, and then
lastily placed it in the plute, exclaim
ng?"Well, d?n yon, go 1" In the
jeautiful language of Sterne?" The
mousing Spirit, as he flew up to
[leaven with the oath, blushed as he
landed it in?and the Recording An*cl,
as he wrote it down, dropped a
ear upon, the page, and bloted it out
brever," for never did an oath oscnpe
Tom more guileless lips!
It was not the Judge's proclivity for
swearing, but his vast and varied acpiirmcnt8
and the simplicity and
jeauty of his moral life, which caused
lim to be so much respected and lovjd
while living, and so deeply lainentjd
while dead.?Columbus (Ira.) Sun.
