' ' Til catch him in I ime," she sail, as ah«pulled hia belL " Va oar da^s jet toChristmas.'

" N o oi& bat me, Mr. Peter,'' replied. "and you mast be saw to Myyes,

or they'll all laugh at me when I go home,and say that my p k a is a dead failure."

" ' S a y yes; « y yes 1'" exclaimed Mr.Peter. V W t that a little too much to ask,even of old Peter Crow. ' the oddest manin all tbi town,' when he don't know whatyou want him to say yes tor"

" Caa^you trust me, Mr. Peter?" "M Ah, I an, I—don't—know—about—it,"

slowly answered Mif Peter." Well, I've come to invite you to a

Christmas dinner, and ot course you'll sayyear I

" Sony, sorry; but, my dear little lady,did you ever know me to go out toaChrist-mas dinner?"

" Oh, but you must come to my house.I can't jgo home till you say yes. Do,please, say yes, Mr. Peter. Here you stay,all alone ui thia great castle, with no one totalk to, and no one to listen to your enter-taining stories, and you must spend Christ-mas With us." |

" Why, my little lady, I talk every dayto the jolliest fellow in town, and we geton so well together I am never lonesome."

" W h o do you mean, Mr. Peter?", " I rn^an Mr. PeUr Crow. We chat bythe houi] in front of thia broad, open fire.

Effle smiled and looked puzzled, but atonce called Mr. Peter's attention again tothe Christmas dinner.

"Second thoughts are sometimes betterthan the first," she said, "so won't youchange your mind and say yes?" j

" Sorry, sorry," repeated Mr. Peter ; ;" don't Uke to disappoint the ladies, par- |ticulafiyj the little kales, but, this year, I jam going to give the boys a treat—a jChristmte treat. j

" What! notall the boys in town, I hope." j" No, j no, my little lady, only the boys i

who need it the most—those who gave me ia treat lpst Christmas. Peter Crow never jforgets to return a compliment" !

" Then it will be of no use, Mr. Peter, to ;press yoji to come?" j

"Sorry, sorry," again repeated Mr. IPeter, with a look of mingled sadness \and humor, " bat my invitations are al- jready out and accepted. I would invite jyou, my! dear little lady, to join the party, jbut it will not be a company that's suitable '•for y o a ^ Y o u must come another time, !and then • Queer old Codger* will tell you [eome of his best stories." > ;

The fur-clad "little lady" was gone, and jthere was a murmur of voices in the kitchen ;of the great, old castle, that had alwaysbeen tb.6 home of Pet«r Crow. An old iservant,!who had grown up in the castle,and who was known as "Aunty," was \discussing with Sobrina—a younger servant—the mystery of her master's ways.

' ' There's the oddest doings in this house." ,she said, "and the master of it grows jodder and odder; and yet, the longer 1 live, jthe better I like to please Mr. PcU;r."

"Men have queer ways, aunty, "and ;there's oo understanding them nor their ••ways," sagely remarked bobrina; " I never :found one out yet, so as to say, for sure,that I knew him."

" Well, what do you think is up now ':''Raid Aujnty; " I wasn't listening—that iseomething too mean for me to den-but I'vegot ears, and, someway, everything that'ssaid in this house works alonjr, and getsinto my head before I know it. And Iheard Jitr. Peteflelling the young lady, afew minutes ago, that, on Christmas Day,be was going to give t ie boys a treat So,Miss Sobrina, look out for work, and Jbesure to jkeep your temper, for the masterdon't like wry faces."

"Not;a carpet anywhere in the house!"exclaimed Sobrina, petulantly, and thefloors must be cleaned and oiled, and nota speck' of dust allowed anywhere, andeverything kept as neat a3 wax, and allto suit Ms odd notions."

" Ho don't like carpets. He thinks theybring dtist and dirt, and that clean, oik-dfloors art far nicer. And, seeing he hasn'tanyone Jn the house but himself to please,he just pleases himself, which, in myopinion,! is about the right thing for himto do. Hush now—there he comes."

The door was suddenly opened, and Mr.Peter Crow informed Aunty, with hi?kindest j tone and manner, that he hadinvited the boys to dine with him onChristmas Day, and that he wanted her ;ooutdo herself in getting up a fine dinner.

"Your most obedient servant," answer-ed Aunty with a courtesy, such as she tviisin the habit of making whenever Mr. PeterCame to |the kitchen.

"Andj what are your orders for thedinner?'! she added.

" I wijl send vou two turkeys from themarket,? replied Mr. Peter, "and chickensfor a p(e, and you must not forget themince p^es, Aunty, nor the puddings, noranything else that will make the dinner asgood as any boy co^ld desire."

" Begging your pardon, sir, may I askwho the boys are 7 Little gentlemen, Ilupposej?" !

Mr. reter sighed and smiled, as heanswered: "Th'ev sWe my turkeys audmy chickens, and"mv apples, and my uuts,last yea}1; and, besides all that, sent me aChristmas treat—huing on my door knobtwo huge stockings!, labelled" ' Christmastreat' attd filled with little bits of mouldycheese and raw turnip ; and you know.Aunty, I never forget to return civilities.So now; on thia coming holiday, I mustgive thetn a Christmas treat"

"This| old Aunty can tell you before-hand, air, that they won't come 1"

" Ob, yes, they "will, Aunty ; they haveno idea 'that I suspected them of the mischievioiis doings on my grounds, or ofgiving me the Christmas treat I nevertried to patch one of them. I thought I'dwait and pay them oil when Christinascame round again."

Aunty was confounded, and could onlystare questioningly at Mr. Peter, until,with a few words of praise, such as shealways liked, he closed the door.

' ' "Thelre's odd doings for you!" exclaimedSobrinaJ i " No wonder the boys call tim1 Queer old Codger.""

"Wejmustdo as he bids us, and do itwell," replied Aunty, with some dignity,"and We- must begin to-morrow, brightand »r}y, for it will take two or threedays to prepare such a dinner as Mr. Peterwill want fox ten bora. He's inviiied 'emall, no doubt, every one that had a hand inthe mischief,,and they'll all come. Therewon't ope of 'em miss such a dinner 'asthey know ' Queer old Codger' can get up.Oh, the i saucy creatures 1'* ""»

" A saght^to behold 1 The dinner! andiva I" #>rr

waaoie of the seven wonders that theyjhoula be invited to a Christmas treat inMr. Peter Crow's castle.

As b Mr/ Peter Crow himself, he hadnever been more entertaining in his life ;ind he put all his boys at ease by beinghimself at ease in the telling of his famousstories—stories that brought peal after pealaf laughter from the boys until Aunty wasis much confounded as when it was firstannounced to her that a Christmas treatfor boys was coming off in the castle.

At first, as she went round and roundthe table performing the duties of the oc-casion, in seeing to it that everything wasdone as it should be, she retained the dig-nity that she thought belonged to a womanof herl age, and one wearing a turban, butat last'her dignity broke loose and floatedaway Jike ice in spring.

No ti^ie was lost, for the responsibilitiesof a Christmas dinner for ten boys pressedheavily >n Aunty.

" a sight to behold."

The i Master" was in hi3 best mood,and radiant with Christmas cheerfulness;and no j boys' faces ever shone with moregenuine: delight than did the faces of Mr.Peter's young guests. There sat Tim, andthe dark-complexioned boy they all calledBrowny, assisting their digestion with suchlaughing as had never before been heard inthe old (fastle. And there,sat Tony, andTiger, and Ragbag, and Bony, and Fatty,and Turn-up-nose, and Croppy, and Pale-eyes, with faces that soap and water hadmade to shine, and with hair that had beenoiled and brushed till not a lock couldmove from its appointed place. And theyhad alii come as respectably dressed astheir scanty means could afford, that theymight do honor to Mr. Peter Crow and hiscastle. !But so well were they known bythe names they had-given each other, thatthey could not leave them behind, and theywere freely used around ME.

The " Master," she thought never lookedbetteriin all his life. He was dressed iDbig finest ruffled shirt and his great-grand-fatherfs blue coat, adorned with gilt buttons, and hia face wore a merry Cnristmailook that riveted Aunty's attention.

After dinner he drew up before the Ibroad, open fire, and the boys all gatliereo \around him, and the stories went on. |Then j followed riddles and conundrumiand games, such as no boy hnd ever sus- \pecUJa of being in Mr. Peter Crow's head. '<

By [and by, one after another turnedtoward the window, and then looked atMr. Peter as if to ask, "Isn't it about timewe were going?"

And Ragbag did ask, " Haven't westayed about long enough, Mr. Crow?" hesaid.

"No!" shouted Tiger. "No! Assureas my name's Tiger^—and you fellows allsay it is— Fm going to stay as long as Mr.Peter Crow ana this castle can stand it, forwe're having a jolly time."

"We ought to be going," said Croppy,whose closely cut hair had given him thetitle of Croppy.

"Well," replied Bony, " I 'm strong inthe bones if I am lean, and I'm a tirst-ratelifter. Let's all take up Tiger and carryhim home."

" Will you ?" eiclaimed Tiger ; " Folksthat handle tigers are most generally gladto drop 'em before they get far. No, Itell vou, I shan't go yet," for this is the bestChristmas I ever had."

" Now, mv bovs, give me a chance tospeak/' said Mr. Peter.

" Silence, you boys! " exclaimed Tiger,"Where are your Christmas manners?Don't you see Sir. Crow is trying to speak."

Every voice was, for a moment,- hushed,as Mr, Peter said :—" Boys, this is thebest Christmas I ever had. and I want youto. stay till Christmas is over."

"GEve me your band, Mr. Crow," ex-claimed Tiger, as he rushed up to him andput out his hand.

"Now, Bonv and Croppy, and the restof you/' he added; " just please to fall intoa quiet, comfortable way of talking, or^Mr.Crow's head will come off, and we'll neverhave another merry Christmas with him aslong as we live!"

Tiger's fun seemed to be taken seriously,for the uproar- suddenly ceased. Thencame another story from Mr. Peter, andthen the candles were lighted—wax candlessuch as Mr. Peter always used on anyfestive^ occasion —and, after that, a pan of •com and a corn-popper, were brought in.Following that, came a basket of walnutsand a: hammer, and a smooth stick ofwood.

" Boys," said Mr. Peter, as he took itbetween his knees, " this stick means some-thing. The- old time way of cracking wal-nuts is nearly out of fashion. Now I'llshow you how we used to do things—I'lldo the"; cracking myself, for I never breakone meat in a thousand. They all comeout in halves, just as they ought to, and asthey surely will when the nut is crackedbv a tnan that understands his business.There's a right way and a wrong way, yousee—it's so in everything—and if you wantthings; to come out right, and want to comeout right yourself, you must take the rightway, and then you can have a light heartand a merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!"suddenly came from a new voice—notTim's,; nor Tony's, nor Croppy's, nor Ra£bag's, nor Tiger's, nor Bony's, nor Fatty's,nor Turn-up-nose's, nor Pale-eyes, norBrowny's, neither was it Mr. Peter Crow'svoice, i "* • ;

" That's my most intimate friend." saidMr. Peter ; '"she and I think about alike,and, when I say Merry Christmas, she'svery apt to say i t Boys, not one of youhas noticed my parrot-friend In the nextroom. I She has good ears and an excellentunderstanding.''

" We haven't been in there, have we,Mr. Crow?" said Tiger; " with your leavo.sir, well take a look at, that most wonder-ful being. It's the first lime I ever heard aparrot say Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!"again repeated the parrot, and all the boyarushed in to see Mr. Peter's " most inti-mate friend." * ;

"She's standing on her dignity now,"said Mr. Peter. " She's often silent in &crowd; and the way to get talk out of heris to keep at a respectful distance. Comeback now, my boys, for the walnuts arepiling up in the pan."

Back came the boys, and gathered roundthe well-filled pan of cracked walnuts; andthen, all of a sudden, her ladyship, theparrotj took into her head to call "Boys!bovs! boys!"

The! boys rushed in again, thinking itmore than possible that that wise parrotwas going to repeat one of Mr. Peter

! Crow 3 stories from beginning to end ; buti she had nothing more to say—she only

looked| as if she would say. "Get another; word out of me if you can." So the boys

returned to their walnuts and pop corn andapples, and soon lost themselves in anotherof Pet^r Crow's stories. .

It was eleven o'clock when Mr. Peter'slast story was told, and the nuts, and corn,and apples, all eaten. And then Tiger,who had grown tender under Mr. Peter'sqtories,; and before the blazing logs, said:—

"The best of frieads must part, Mr.Crow, bu t someway, I feel chicken-heartedabout leaving you; and there isn't a fellowsitting by thia fire that wouldn't like to stayhere forever, and every one of us hopes thatyou'll Eve forever."

" Bl^sa von, my boy, that's what's I ex-pect to! do,'" replied Mr. Peter. " I've gotmy eye on one of those mansions we readabbot and it's my calculation, to move in

' and sit down by a brighter fireside thanthis when I get through with my blue coatand gilt buttons, and ruffled shirt,"

'And will you move along, Mr. Crow,and give as fellows a place dose by your"askea Tiger. <3

"Heaven save ual" exclaimed Aunty,who, with Sobrina, bad rushed to the doorto learn what all the noise meant. [ '

" Don't be frightened ma'am," said Ti-ger, waving his hand to Aunty, "jwe'reonly giving Mr. Crow three rousing cheersbefore we go."

The rapidity with which the bicyefc, oneof the most practical of modern inventions,has come into favor, even after the dis-astrous collapse of the velocipede, is due tothe fact that it supplies a general fjublicwant It has demonstrated itself to) be.apractical road-machine, and k has won itsway on its merits to a general acknowledg-ment of its utility. In England 100,000bicycles are in daily use—professional men,merchants, clerks, all classes in fact livingin the suburbs of London ride to and fromtheir places of business on the bicycle.! Inits general adoption by the medical profes-sion in England, is found one of the strong-est arguments in its favor. There doctorsnse them im making their professionalculls for the isahfi of the healthful exercisethus afforded thmn. Doctors in UIIB countryhave examined, approved and purchasedbicycles. Bicycling as a health-giving,rational arriUHement stands without a rivalin the list of out-door sports. It.developsthe muscled of all parts of the body, andhabituates l ie rider to an easy and grace-ful carriage; it takes him out into the freshair and sunshine, and by exercising theentire body thoroughly,, equally,: and yetgcutiy invigorates and tones np the wholesystem. Bicycling stands pre-eminent notonly as a healthful exercise, but as a cheapand rapid means of locomotion. The marvel-ous mechanical ingenuity of tbi age hasmetamorphosed the old velocipede andadapted it to human capabilities; In theform of the bicycle the difficulties havebeen surmounted, prejudice hias givenplace to a candid acknowledgment of itsvirtues as a practical means oflocjomotion.It augments at least three-fold the locomo-tive power of an ordinary man. I

A bicyclist can perform a journey of a100 miles in a day as easily as he can walk:{•!. and riO miles with less fatigue than he_<JU walk 10, and he can ride daily to andfrom his place of business from the distantsuburbs with the usual effects.of moderateexercise, an improved physique. Thefiery courser, spurning the ground in hisswift flight, falls to the rear as the bicyclistglides past him and disappears in the rlLs-thnce. The bicyelists are become apower.

AN HOTTEST LAWTKB.—SOW and then.strange as it may seem, a lawyer is deceivedby his client Doubtless, the lawyer whoadvised bis client on trial for sheep-steal-ings to Bjiy, "Ba! ba!" to every questionasked him, thought himself s m u t

The trick secured the prisoner's releaseon the ground of insanity. Bnt when thewily counsel demanded his fee, he was nota little indignant to find that his client wasmuch smarter than himself. " Ba! ba!ba!" was all that he could draw out fromthe man. ,

He hod so well learned his: lesson thathe thought the sounds Which bad savedhim from the gajlows would! deliver himfrom a lawyer.

Here is another anecdote, I which tellshow a sharp client was met by an honestlawyer. The lawyer was James Otis, theeloquent advocate,"who. from 1760 to 1770,led the bar and the patriots of Massachu-setts.

A man of good standing en ployed himto bring a suit to recover the amount of abill which the alleged debtor insisted badbeen paid. As the man coulcl furnish noproof of payment, suit was brought .

During the trial, Mr. Otis aske<f his clientfor a certain document As the client wassearching for it among the papers con-tained in a large pocket-book, Mr. Otishappened to see therein a receipt in fullfor the bilL By some-means, the dishonestclient had got possession of tha receipt

Taking him one side. Otis siid to him,"You are a pretty rascal! There is the re-ceipt for the very demand now before thecourt!"

The client was dumbfounded by the dis-covery of his dishonesty, and begged Otisnot to expose him. "Going bacK to hiiplace, the honest lawver said:

" May it please Your Honor, it is unnecessary that this should proceed. Some^thing has just occurred which convincesme that my client's demand is unfounded.I ask that the plaintiff may be non-suited." f ^

With some remarks upon the manly con-duct of the counsel, whose example, iffollowed, would nottime of the court, thesuit

He was onhis way to the guard-house, when Custerrode up, and ordered his release and re-quested bis presence at Headquarters.The surly-tempered trooper followed theGeneral, "wondering if he was not to beput over against the fence and shot Custerhad far different intentions. Bidding thetrooper to sit down, the General calmly in-quired:

" Why do vou refuse to drill?"" Because I am tired out and shaken up,

and I know all about every drill.""When I took up this brigade," said

the General, " I thought I knew just howto command i t I have learned somethingnew every day; I shall always be learningIf you refuse "to drill all others will refuse-Then discipline will relax, men and horse*forget, and in our first action we shall becut to pieces for want of intelligent manoeuvering.

The soldier was silent" I ride five miles to your one," said the

General. " I sleep three or four hoursyou sleep seven or eight I have 4.00Cmen to .care for; you have only your horse.

A LITTLE ROMANCK,—A college romanceIs told by the Atlanta Oomtilutton. M«nyyears ago a young fellow went to Yalo Col-lege. The father was very rich and theyoungster lived in grand stylo at the univer-sity. Suddenly the gentleman fulled, andhad to withdraw his son from college.The boy, however, felt the necessity of aneducation, and determined to have oneanyhow. He therefore went to work andlearned-a;trade as amachlnint. While hewas'at his work his old associates cut himand refused to have anything to do withhim. The young ladles with whom he hadbeen i'great favorite failed to recognize himwhen they met him. One day, while goingfrom his work, he met a wealthy younglady who had been his friend. He had histfti dinner bucket over his arm, and sup-posed she would cut him as all the rest haddone. She smiled pleasantly, addressedhim as. " Tom," and insisted that he shouldcall and see her as he had always done.She said: " There is no change in you asfar as I am concerned." The years rolledon. The young work boy became wealthy,and owner of a factory in which 1,500 menand women are employed. The young

S'rl grew to womanhood and married,er nusband borrowed a large sum of

mc9ey,fram the rich man, and died beforehi had'paid it, leaving his family with butlittle property. The capitalist sent her,with hia condolence, a receipted note forher husband's indebtedness; and now theson of the millionaire is going to marrythe' daughter of the one woman who wasfaithful and true to the voting work boy atcollege. •

The following from the Cincinnati En-quirer (Dem.) is' good, and all the betterbecause it is impartial and hits all round.According to the Enquirer, this is "whatthey say in their sleep:"

Don Cameron—If Grant will not accepl,I will take it myself, by gracious!

Secretary Sherman—I am undoubtedlythe greatest person this century has pro-duced.

Ex-Gov. Seymour—Gentlemen, your(snores' calmly, but'firmly).

.Senator Conkling—What a rebuke myerection Would be to that plebeian Sprague!

Senator Blaine—Mr. Ingersoll is right. Iam, indeed, a plumed knight. 1 am also asea-horse.on wheels.

Gen. Grant—Do I look like a person whowould .decline a thing after going around

TKfworia to gct'lt?, Senator Sharon—I am tho rose of myself;

I am the ltly of tho valley. I am for afact.

HendHcTdr— Once for all, I will playsecond fiddle to nobody. (Kicks Mrs. H.out of bed).

Col. Ingersoll—I am sure Blaine woulddo the handsome thing by me. I nmstrongly in favor of that excellent person.

"And It's thetruth, riy dear, yon maybe sure, for Peter Crow never tells a lie.He's a real old-fashioned truth-teller, as old-fashioned as the jcoat itself."

"And isn't his cue old-fashioned enough,papa? It's so strange th U he persists, yearafter year, in wearing hi i hair tied behindwith a blue ribbon. An 1 he's Tery particu-lar about it. It must be as nearly as possi-ble the shade of [his coat and he goes fromstore to store to find lus: the right thing.I can't help, though, liking to look at himwhen he comes into church on Sunday, orwhen he's dressed for any occasion.

" Invite him, pet, blu< coat, gilt buttons,cue, and all; and well t y to glvo him, aswell as ourselves, a men y Christmas."

" What an indulgent j apa and mammalYou don't reallyi care to invite Peter Crow,he's so odd; but you let me do i t 8o nowI'll repay you by makinj; the most beauti-ful snow pudding you'vi i ever seen, and bjstirring up Mr. Peter Cr JW to tell his mostentertaining stories."'

" But you're not sure of your man yet,my dear. Perhaps he'll be odd enough todecline the invitation." Q

" Oh, no, papa; he'll t ertainly come. TOinvite him in time so th t he can't say hehas another engagement 111 run roundthere to-nighU. I'll go now; it isn't duskyet" i

Effle. in her fur cloak and little for cap,was soon tripping along the street on herway to the house- that was the home of" the oddest man in all the town."

" I'll catch him in time," she said, as shepulled hU bell.: "It's four days yet toChristmas." \ ~

"Ah, and it's you, is it, my dear littlelady?" said Peter Crow, as the servantshowed Effle into the room. « -

"No! one bit me, Mr. Peter," repliedEffle, "and you moat he sort) to say yea,or they'll all laugh at me when I go home,and car that my plaa is a dead failure."

" ' & y 7^8: lay yes 1'" exclaimed Mr.Peter. v Isn't that a little too much to ask,even of old Peter Grow, ' the oddest manin all the town,' when he don't know whatyou want him to say yes tot"

" Can't you trust me, Mr. Peter?" '"Ah; ah, I—don't—know—about—it,"

slowly answered Mr? Peter."Well, I've come to invite yon to a

Christmas dinner, and of course you'll sayy e s f j

" Sorry, sorry; but, my dear little lady,did you ever know me to go out to a Christ-mas dinner?"

" Oh; but you must come to my house.I can't go home till you say yes. Do,please, say yes, Mr. Peter. Here you stay,all alone m this great castle, with no one totalk to, and no one to listen to your enter-taining stories, and you must spend Christ-mas with us." j |

" Why, my fittle|lady, I talk every dayto the jolliest fellow in town, and we geton so w ell together I am never lonesome."

" Who do you mean, Mr. Peter?"" I mean Mr. Peter Crow. We chat by

the hour in front of this broad, open fire.Effle Smiled and looked puzzled, but at

once called Mr. Peter's attention again tothe Christmas dinner.

"Second thoughts are sometimes betterthan the first," she said, "so won't youchangejour mind and say yes?"

" Sorry, sorry," | repeated Mr. Peter ;" don't like to disappoint the ladies, par-ticularly the little ladies, but, this year, Iam going to give 'the boys a treat—aChristmas treat.

" What! notall the boys in town, I hope."" No, no, my little lady, only the boys

who need it the most—those who gave mea treat last Christmas. Peter Crow neverforgets to return a compliment."

" Then it will be of no use, Mr. Peter, topress you to come?"

"Sorry, sorry," again repeated Mr.Peter, with a look of mingled sadnessand humor, "but my invitations are al-ready out and accepted. I would mviteyou, my dear little lady, to join the party,but it will not be a company that's suitablefor yori^You must come another time,and then ' Queer old Codger" will tell yousome of his best stories." )

The fur-clad "little lady" was gone, andthere was a murmur of voices in the kitchenof the great, old castle, that had alwaysbeen the home of Peter Crow. An oldservant j who had grown up in the castle,and who was known as "Aunty," wasdiscussing with Sobrina—a younger servant—the mystery of her master's ways.

" There's the oddest doings in this house,"she said, "and the master of it grow aodder and odder; arid yet, the longer 1 live,the bettjer I like to please Mr. Pet^r."

"Men have queer ways, aunty, "andthere's !no understanding them nor theirways," sagely remarked Sobrina; "I neverfound one out yet, so as to say, for sure,that I knew him."

" Well, what do you think is up now ?"said Aunty; "I wasn't listening—that issomething too mean for me to do—but I'vegot ears, and, someway, everything that'sBaid in! this house works along, and gelsinto rny head before I know it. And Iheard Mr. Petef^elling the young lady, afew minutes ago, that, on Christmas Day,he was going to give the boys a treat. So,Miss Sobrina, look out for work, and.J>esure to | keep your temper, for the masterdon't like wry faces."

" No^ a carpet anywhere in the house!"exclaimed Sobrina, petulantly, and thefloors must be cleaned and oiled, and nola speck of dust allowed anywhere, andeverything kept an neat as wax, and -allto suit his odd notions."

" Ho don't like carpets. He thinks theybring dust and dirt, and that clean, oiledfloors aria far nicer. And, seeing he hasn'tanyone in the house but himself to please,he just; pleases himself, which, in myopinion,1 is about the right thing for himto do. Hush now—there he comes."

The door was suddenly opened, and Mr.Peter Grow informed Aunty, with hiskindest j tone and manner, that he hndInvited 'the boys to dine with him onChristmas Day, and that he wanted her tooutdo herself in getting up a fine dinner.

"Yourmost obedient servant," answer-ed Aunty with a courtesy, such as she wasIn the habit of making whenever Mr. Petercame to the kitchen.

"And what are your orders for thedinner?'! she added.

" I will send you two turkeys from themarket," replied Mr. Peter, "nnd chickensfor a pie, and you must not forget themince pies, Aunty, nor the puddings, noranything else that will make the dinner asgood as any boy could desire."

" Begging your pardon, sir, may I askwho the boys are 1 Little gentlemen, Ilupposol?"

Mr. Peter sighed and smiled, as heanswered: "They Stole my turkeys audray chickens, and my apples, and my nuts,last year ; and, besides all thnt, sent me aChristmas treat—hung on my door knobtwo huje stockings', labelled 'Christmastreat,' and filled with little bits of mouldycheese and raw turnip ; and you know".Aunty, I never forget to return civilities.Bo now^ on this cdming holiday, I mustgive them a Christmas treat."

"This old Aunty can tell you beforehand, sir, that they won't como 1"

" Oh, yes, they will, Aunty ; they haveno idea that I suspected them of tho mischievious doings on my grounds, or ofgiving me the Christmas treat. I nevertried to catch ono of them. I thought I'dwait and pay them off when Christmascame round again."

Aunty was confounded, and could onlystare questioningly at Mr. Peter, untii,with a few words of praise, such as shealways liked, he closed the door.

"There's odd doings for you I" exclaimedSobrina.1 _•" No wonder the boys call him'Queer old Codger.!"

"We must do asibe bids us, and do itwell," replied Aunty, with some dignity,"and we must begin to-morrow, brightand «arly, for it yill take two or threedaya to prepare such a dinner as Mr. Peterwill want for ten boya, He's invited 'emal), no doubt, every one that had a hand inthe mischief, and they'll all come. Therewon't one of 'em miss such a dinner 'asthey know • Queer old Codger' can get up.Oh, the saucy creatures!" "">

" A sight^to beholdl The dinner! andthe boysr^exclaiiiied Sobrina, as shedroppeap laughing, into a chair.

No tune was lost, jfor the responsibilitiesof a Christmas dinner for ten boys pressedheavily pa Aunty. |At last, with Sobrinafollowing closely bjehind her, she wadedthrough; the mysteries known only to aperfect cook—mysteries greater than themysteries of the "Master"—and the din-ner was!" a sight to! behold."

The '^Master" wjas in his best mood,and radiant with Christmas cheerfulness;and no boys' faCes ever shone with more

?;nuine delight than did the faces of Sir.ete"r's young guests. There sat Tim, and

the dark-complexioned boy they all calledBrawny,; assisting their digestion with suchlaughing as had never before been heard inthe old castle. And there .sat Tony, andTiger, and Ragbag, and Bony, and Fatty,and Turh-up-nose, spd Croppy, and Pale-eyes, with faces that soap and water hadmade to shine, and with hair that had beenoiled and brushed [tut not a lock couldmove from its appointed place. And theybad all come as respectably dressed astheir scanty means could .afford, that theymight do honor to Mr. Peter Craw and hissastlc.

At first, as she went round and roundthe table performing the duties of the oc-casion, in seeing to it that everything wasdone as it should be, she retained the dig-nity that she though); belonged to a womanof her age, and one wearing a turban, butat last her dignity broke loose and floatedaway ,like ice in spring. The " Master "told stories and laughed; the b>ys listenedand laughed; and aunty looked andlistened and laughed, and declared toherself, that she was glad the heuse wasbuilt good and strong so that nc thing couldrattle down.

" Such doings!" she exclaimed to her-self.. " I hope these boys, and the Master,top, are built as strong as the house. Ifthey're not they'll crack themselves laugh-

nd and round the table Trent Aunty,hing the boys and their plates, and

cartyifag herself with a composure that didnot escape the notice of the " plaster," forhe gave her a look now and then that as-sured her that she was exactly filling hciplacaQBut in spite of all her self-watch-fulness, she went off into convulsive fits oflaughter over all she saw and 1 eard.

Thd " Master," she thought, 1 ever lookedbetter! in all his life. He was dressed inUB finest ruffled shirt and his great-grand-father's blue coat, adorned wi,th gilt but-tons, and his face wore a merry Christinailook that riveted Aunty's atten ion.

After dinner he drew up before thebroad, open fire, and the boys ill gathereoaround him, and the storiei went on.Then j followed riddles and i :onundrumsand games, such as no boy hi.d ever sus-pected of being in Mr. Peter Crow's head.

By I and by, one after another turnedtoward the window, and then looked atMr. Peter as if to ask, "Isn't it about timewe were going?" |

And Ragbag did ask, "Haven't westayed about long enough, MrJ Crow?" hesaid, i I

"Nol" shouted Tiger. "Npl Assureas my! name's Tiger—and youi fellows alleay it is—I'm going to stay as ilong as Mr.Peter Crow and this castle can £tand it, forwe're having a jolly time."

" We ouglit to be goingwhosei closely cut hair ha<title of Croppy. I

him home.""Will you ?" exclaimed Tigdr ; "Folks

that handle tigers are most generally gladto drop 'em before they get iar. No, Itell you, I shan't go yet, for thi 1 is the bestChristmas I ever had."

"Now, my boys, give me i chance tospeak/' said Mr. Peter. _^

" Silence, you boys!" exclaimed Tiger," Where are your Christmas manners ?Don't you see Mr. Crow is trying to speak."

Every voice was, for a mome it; hushed,as Mr, Peter said:—"Boys, :his is the

• best Christmas I ever had, and I want youto Btajr-till Christmas is over."

" Give me your hand, Mr. Crow," ex-claimed Tiger, as he rushed up to him andput out his hand.

"Now, Bony and Croppy, and the restof you," he added; " just please to fall intoa quiet, comfortable way of talk ng, or Mr.Crow's head will come off, and we'll neverhave another merry Christmas with him aslong as we livel"

Tiger's fun seemed to be taken seriously,for the uproar suddenly ceased. Then

j came another story from Mr. Peter, andI then the candles were lighted—\ fax candlesI such as Mr. Peter always used on any

festive occasion —and, after th^t, a p an of •com and a corn-popper, were brought in.Following that, came a basket of walnutsand a hammer, and a smooth stick ofwood. I I

"BOys," said Mr. Peter, as he took itbetween his knees, " this stick means some-thing. The old time way of cracking wal-nuts is nearly out of fashionJ Now I'llshow you how wo used to do iiings—I'lldo the cracking myeelf, for I never breakone meat in a thousand. They all comeout in halves, iust as they oughi to, and asthey surely will when the nut is crackedby a man that understands his business.There's a right way and a wroni; way, youBce—it'8 so in everything—and if you wantthings to come out right, and want to comoout right yourself, you must taho the rightway, and then you can have a light haartand a merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!"suddenly came from a new voicc —notTim's,! nor Tony's, nor Croppy's, nor Rag-bag's, I nor Tiger's, nor Bony's, nor Fatty's,nor Turn-up-noso's, nor Pali-eyes, norBrowiiy's, neither was it Mr. Peter Crow'svoice.! ~

" That's my mo9t intimate fdend," saidMr. Peter ; " sho and I think aWit alike,and, frhen I say Merry Christmas, she'svery apt to say it Boys, not one of youhas noticed my parrot-friend In the nextroom.! She has good ears and im excellentunderstanding."

"We haven't been in there have we,Mr. Crk>w?" said Tiger; " with your leavo,sir, we'll take a look at that mpst wonder-ful being. It's tho first time I ever heard aparrot say Merry Christmas." |

"Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!"again repeated the parrot, and nil the boysrushed in to see Mr. Peter's "most inti-mate friend." »

" She's standing on her dignity now,"i said Mr. Peter. " 8he's often silent in h

crowd, and the way to get talk out of heria to keep at a respectful distai ce. Comeback flow, my boys, for the iralnuta arepUinglupinthepan."

Back came the boys, and gatt ered roundthe well-filled pan of cracked walnuts; andthen, [all of a sudden, her ladyship, theparrot; took into her head to cill "Boys!boys I boysl"

The' boys rushed in again, thinking itmore than possible that that 'rise parrotwas going to repeat one of Mr. PeterCrow s stories from beginning t > end ; butshe hid nothing more to say—she onlylooked as if she would say. " Itet anotherword out of me if you can." E o the boysreturned to their walnuts and pc p com andapples,} and soon lost themselves in anotherof Pet^r Crow's stories.

It was eleven o'clock when '. Hr. Peter'slast story was told, and the nuts, and corn,and apples, all eaten. And lien Tiger,who had grown tender under 2 Ir. Peter'sstoriesj and before the blazing 1( gs, paid:—

"The best of frieads must part, Mr.Crow, but, someway, I feel chid en-heartedabout leaving you; and there isi 't a fellowBitting jby this fire that wouldn't like to stayhere forever, and every one of ui hopes thatyou'll live forever."

!' Bless you, my boy, that's -v rhat's I ex-pect toj do," replied Mr. Peter. " I've gotmy eye on one of those mansio is we readabout, land it's my calculation, to move inand sit down by a brighter fiieside thanthis when I get through with m ? blue coatand gilt buttons, and ruffled ahi -t,"

'Ana will you move along, Mr. Crow,and give us fellows a place close by you?"asked Tiger, i^

Folding his hands reverently and look-ing upj as if he were making a Christinasprayer,} Mr. Peter said:

''Maty every one of you be there to an-gwer ' Sen' when the Lord of t lat blessedland calls your names."

" Oil« us your hand, Mr. Croi r," repliedTiger, 'trying to laugh, and. tryi ig as wellto drive back toe gathering temn.

"Boys,7' he" ada«d, ?Tlm, Tony, Bag-bag, and the rest of you, don't be stai dingback there twisting off the brims of yourhats, but step up and offer your hand toMr. Crow, like little gentlemen, an \ lethim know that there Isn't one of u 1 hasany notion of backing but of the arr inge-ment to keep him company round tha fire-side he's going to have up in the happyplace." ; I

One boy after another1 shook hands withMr. Peter, but Tiger did the talking.

"It's in 'em to Bfcy it, Mr. Crow, onlythey can't hook the words together andbring 'em out," he said, "but we'D allgive three cheers for Mr. Crow and hiscastle and Christmas." < j

"Heaven save us!" exclaimed Aunty,who, with Sobrina, had rushed to the doorto learn what all the noise meant.

"Don't bei frightened ma'am," Bail Ti-ger, waving his hand to Aunty, "re'reonly giving Mr. Crow three rousing c jeersbefore we goj" |

"Did I evcThear thelike?" said Aimtyin an undertone, as she turned and wentback to the kitchen. i

When she came in the boys were gone,and the house was still; and there, iiloneby the dying Iflre, sat Mr. Peter Crow.

"It's twelve o'clock,1 Mr. Peter," shesaid, "and the Lord be praised fo:: thequiet that's come at last]" '

"Ah, Aunty," replied Mr. Peter, !'theLord be praised for the boys, I've wan atlast." ' ' '

A N HOJTEST LAWTEH.—HOW and then.strange as it may seem, a lawyer is deceivedby his client Doubtless, the lawyer vboadvised bis client, on trial for sheep-steal-ing,, to say, "Ba! bal" to every questionasked him, thought himself smart.

The trick secured the prisoner's releaseon the ground of insanity. But when the.wily counsel demanded his fee, he was nota little indignant to find that his client wasmuch smarter than himself. " Ba! ba!bal" was all that be could draw out fromthe man.

He had so well learned his lesson thathe thought the sound's which had savedhim from the gallows would,'deliver himfrom a lawyer.

Here is another anecdote, which tellshow a sharp client was met by an honestlawyer. The lawyer was James Otis, theeloquent advocate, who. from 1760 to 1770,led the bar and the patriots of Massachu-setts.

A man of good standing employed himto bring a suit to recover the amount of,abill which the alleged debtor insisted hadbeen paid. As the man could furnish noproof of payment, suit was brought.

During the trial, Mr. Otis aske f his clientor a certain document. As the client was

searching for it among the papers con-tained >n a large pocket-book, Mr. Otishappened to see therein a receipt in fullfor the bill By some means, the dishonestilient had got possession of the receipt

Taking him one. side, Otis said to him,"You are a pretty rascal! There is the re-:eipt for the very demand now before the:ourtl"

The client was dumbfounded by the dis-covery of his dishonesty, and begged Otisnot to expose him. Going back to hisplace, the honest lawyer saia:

"May it please Your Honor, it is unnecessary that this should proceed. Some-thing has just occurred which convincesme that my client's demand is unfoundedI ask that the plaintiff may be non-mited." _,

With some remarks upon the manly con-uct of the counsel, whose example, if

followed, would not unfrequently save thetime of the court, the judge ordered a nonsuit.

would drill another half hour. He was onhis way to the 'guard-house, when Custerrode up, and ordered his release and re-quested his presence at Headquarters.The surly-terupered trooper followed theGeneral, wondering if he was not to beput over aguinst the fence and shot Custerhad far different intentions. Bidding thetrooper to sit down, the General calmly in-quired :

" Why do you refuse to drill?"" Because I am tired out and shaken up,

and I know all about every drill." !"When I took up this brigade," Baid

the General, "I thought I knew just howto command it. I have learned something •new every day; I shall always be learning.If you refuse to drill all others will refuse. ;Then discipline will relax, men and horse* 'forget, ana in our first action we shall or 'cut to pieces for want of intelligent man '•ceuvering. I want you to be a man, anil iyet you must be a machine to obey." j

General. "I sleep three or four hours, iyou sleep seven or eight I have 4,000 jmen to care for; you have onlv your horse.

SHARP PRACTICE.

Some of our Stato officials ha'given nn example of financialmore creditable to their shrewdnessthan to their integrity. Tho LegMature )ant year pasyed an Act rcj(juiring all State officials to makquuiV'ly reports of tho amount oices received by them rcspcotivelvThis it wan naturally supposed woufenable tho Legislature to judgwhether or not the fees and coin,pcns.ition \ [pi the State officeramounted to an extravagant sum.

The reports came in, as tho la\directed, but tho amount of fees reported was HO much smaller than the}were generally supposed to be thathe Senate Judiciary Committe*decided to investigate. Hon. Rob'tF. Stockton, Controller of the Treasiiry i Hon. Henry C. KelseySecretary of State; Hon. Henry "Little, Clerk in Chancery, and HonBenj. F.

Almost all tho evening session < f theAssembly was taken up in the disc assionof tllo pending liquor bills. Mr. Kreuger'sSunday law repealer was first qajle 1 up.Mr. Venion, of Union, was in fa-or ofdealing sharply with it, and he mo'ed itsindefinite postponement. Other memberswcro in favor of allowing tho bill to comeup in regular order for final read in,tho motion to indefinitely postpnilost—18 to 88. ; It was called up atj once onfinal passage and lort, only six members—Curran, Grey, Kreuzer, Sleeks. OjcAnuor,and Shceran—-voting for it. Dunn, Dem-urest, nnd Vreeland were absent. ThenMr. Patterson's bill, providing-foj- t i e in-dictment and $50 line for selling! on Sun-day was culled up. Major O'Connor, aNewark liquo'r-deulcr, opposed its pa wage.He said no one wanted it save Mr. I'atter-son. Mr. Vernon, ulso in oppositionbill, said that the proposed act \voi;valueless; the liquor-dealers Wouldselling Sundays, und regard tlie flue iof their business expenses.

ularfy they filed theirreports and an regularly omitted torecord two thirds of thoir receiptsfrom fees. It would bo difficult foran honest man to imagine anymethod, consistent with HoTf-respeot,by which such deception could bepracticed; but those shrewd officialsdevised;one which, from its uniformadoption, appears to have been theresult of mutual agreement betweenthemselves.

It was arranged that whore thoservices were rendered .and tho feesreceived in tho same quarter, thosereceipts should bo reported, butwhere tho services should bo per-formed in ono' quarter and the feesbe received in tho following ono, noreport of either should bo made.Thoy could, of courso, havo madothis a monthly instead of a quarterlyarrangement, but as that wouldhave swept, away nino tenths of alltho fees and might havo led toenquiry they adopted tho otherplan. So for a full year thoyhave been operating. Their reportsfor tho three quarters ending Dec.lilj lttH) wcro on file, professing togive tho gross amount of fees ro-ceiv.ed, but by this fraudulent devicereally giving, pnly a third of tho trueamount; and so it would have con-tinued to go on to tho end only fortho suspicion on tho parts ot thoJudiciary Committeo that somethingwas wrong, which led to tho inves-tigation that has unearthed this dis-honest subterfuge.

Tho County officers are, under tholaw, required to report their receiptsalso. Most of them havo failed todo so and wo see that the Controllerhas been directed to" proceed against

recover-the $100 penaltyfailure That is all right;about tho Controller • him-

self, and his honorable associates?Who will " proceed against" them?Are they too high game for tho lawto reach; or is official falsehood lesscriminal than official silenco? Thesearo questions that peoplo will ask.For ourselves wo should find no diffi-culty in answering.

SETTLED AT LAST.

No rational person over •doubtedthat the purpose of tho fourteenthamendment to tho Constitution wasto secure colored citizens all therights before enjoyed by tho whites.It has been a question, however, anda serious one, whether tho amend-ment and tho laws passed under it,wore sufficient for that purpose. Itis scarcely possible to frame a lawthat will so cover the whole groundof dispute as not to leave room for adifference of opinion as to its opera-tinn in ^ • « : i - if not in essentials,

TUESDAY, Ma ch 9.In South Jersey there'arc a number of

glass blowers who have heretofoie made ita practice to pay their employes by givingorders. These bits of paper were redeem-able only at grocery stores run by thei menwho had issued the orders, and thdreonlyin goods, for which double prices ^ere demanded. In the Senate last evening, Senator Francis read one of these orders fo" one cent, payable in 10 years." Senato:Ciinfield asked why the orders we^e thinissued* " "Because," replied the Gloucestcisenator, " the glass manufacturers were advised by a lawyer that there was no otlicway of evading the law of last year." Thbill befoi'e the Senate last evening althe order system, and forbids anytions by employers for debts from tl

olishesdeduc-e casl:

earnings of their hired men. On ^notiorof Senator Francis, however, it waamended so as fb permit deductions foidebts "voluntarily " contracted by the la-borers. The amendment practically destrays the bill, but it has been put in thcalendar for third reading.

The Judiciary Committee, which was directed to investigate the amount of i*ees re-ceived by State and county oflicera, reportedto-day that the State officers had cjvadedtho Senate's command by reporting onljtho amount received by them each quarteifor services actually performed by I then:during that quarter. These receipts wilnot exceed, the committee says, onq-thirrof the gross amount of their fees and, compemsation, The county officers were ro-quired to report their receipts also, buimost of them failed to do it; and, OE motion of Senator Hobart to-day, the Controller W0jS directed to proceed a^ainslthem to recover the $100 penalty for sue!failure.

The 8enate to-day finally rejected by thdecisive vote of 0 to 12, the concurrent resolution for biennial sessions of the Iiegislature.*There seemed at first to be a genoral sentiment in favor of the proposition,but it has faded away as the sessioii advanced. A similar fate probably awaitother measures attempting to modify tinConstitution. A numbor of bills have beervetoed by tho Governor, mostly on Constitutlonal grounds. The bill granting alwell-behaved convicts the right of suffrageafter thnir discharge was among the num-ber. I

The following bills were passed, anjongothers: Tho bill distributing the publiprinting; to appropriate $5,000 to Fisl;Commissioners; to etacourago local improvements by seaside companies; to aiithorize Boards of Freeholders to send foipersons and papers; to allow counsellorsat-Iaw residing in other'States to re aintheir rights in This State by keeping an office; fixing the compensation of the EssexRoad Board members; the bill to givbounties to New Jersey volunteers wheserved in regiments in other States; tojreduce the interest on school district bondto 6 per cent.; fixing the length of Ibterms of the Riparian Commissionersfour years each; providing a penalty$10 for every woodcock killed betweenJanuary 1 ana Sept. 1; extending the ifor the completion of canals to ten yearsexempting practising physicians from jijiryduty; making taxes a first lean on propertyto set off a portion of the Maurice River J "inCumberland County, to Cape May; I tonbolith tho office of Water Register incities; to appropriate $l/),()00 to the MorrisPlains Asylum; tn give the consent of New-Jersey to the United States Government touso land in the State as a depository Jorpowder.

Finallv,after a two hours' struggle, the bill, on.mo-ion of Senator Hobart, was ordered tobird reading by a vote of 11 to 9.

Determined tosift I the matter! to its foundation our re-porter addressed a letter to the Sheriff ofBerkshire where Macey resided asking ifthe report were true.

We are glad thus to be able to settlethe question of his being hanged for murder, as considerable interest has been ex-pressed in the matter and a general desireto ascertain the truthfulness of the reporthas prevailed.

ITi A WKATIIKII PMOI'IIKT.—A pleasant nn-ecdote Is told of Partrldgo, the celebratedahnanuc maker. In traveling into thocountry, ho stopped for bin dinner at anltin, and aflerwards willed for his horseHint h« might reach (he next town whereltd intended to sleep.

'" If you would tnko my advice, sir,"said tho worthy hostler, us ho was nbout tomount his horse, " You will ntiiy whoreyou are for tho night, as you will .surelybq overtaken by a pelting rain. "

" NonHenne, nonnonso, " wild tho nimft-niU'-mnker, " there's a nlxnenco for youmy honest fellow, nnd good afternoon toyou."

He procoeded on his Journey, and mireenough he wan well drenched iivu heavyflhower. Partridge w»« struck with themini's prediction, nud being always intenton tho interest of his nliiinnnc, ho rodeback on tho Instant, and was received bythe hostler with a broad grin.

" Well, «ir, you tmv. I was right nftcrall. "

" Yen, my lad, you have been RO, andhero Is a crown for you; but I give It toyou on condition that you tell mo howyou knew of this rain."

"To bo sure, sir," replied tho mnn;" why the truth ia we have an almanno inour house called ' Parfridgo's Almanac, 'and the fellow is such a notorious linr,that whenever ho promises us a fine daywo always know that it will be the directcontrary. Now your honor, this, tho 21sto June, is put down in our almanac indoors as ' settled, fine weather, no rain. '—I looked at that before I brought yourhorse out, and so was enabled to put youon your guard."

Fnioirrpuii.—A Thomaston man wnecrossing the railroad track in thnt town,the other day, when his foot become fast-ened in a "frog." Every effort to releasehimself was unavailing, and, to add to theunpleasantness of tho situation, ho knew itto be very near timo for the train. In vainhe struggled—the foot stuck fast. The colddrops of sweat stood out on his foreheadin profusion, and his soul turned sick witlfear, as far away he heard the ominouswhistle of the fast.approaching engine

. He shrieked aloud for help, and tore at thedeath trap with fearful frenzy. Nearer andnearer rushed the awful mass, the groundtrembling nnd quaking beneath its weightOn—on it came, while the sickening fearof death made the man's heart stand stillNearer—nearer came the moving niessenger of death, and with a diabolicnl shriek

—went past. And then the Thomastonmnn thought what n fool he was not toremember that ho was on a side track thahadn't been used for six years. He pulledhis foot out of the boot, removed that article from its position, ;put it on the end of nstick and kicked himself all the way home.—ItoekUmd Courier. .

The N. Y. World, which is as yet vnliantly resolved that it will not take its. dislof Tilden crow, yesterday remarked, in Jbilk to Domonrals:l^»nt this is'nolnj nil, tho time to considewho is likely to prove the best Democraticcandidate after Tildcnism has been defeated, repudiated and put aside, ns it mus1
