MISCELLANEOUS 



Honest Poverty Rewarded. — A gentleman of New 

 York arrived at the Treinoiit House a dny or tu-o 

 ago, on his way lo Lowell, and wiiile in tlie city 

 had occasion to exciianije some money. He placed 

 the bills in his vest pocUot, and tool; the cars for 

 Lowell. When he reached there he discovered 

 that he had lost a five hundred dollar bill. The 

 loss seemed irreparable, and ho abandoned all hope 

 of recovering the money. The gentleman returned 

 from Lowell and was not a little surprised to learn 

 that a Methodist clerffyman, the Rev. 'J'. C. Pierce, 

 had been put in possossimi of the money by an 

 honest orange seller, named Connell, at the Lowell 

 depot, who had found it there the (jentleman hav- 

 ing dropped it vvhile procuring a ticket for the cars. 

 The first thing the gentleman did upon getting his 

 money back, was to presi.-nt Connell with fifty dol- 

 lars, and he assured Connell besides, that if ever 

 lie was thrown out of employment, he would always 

 find a friend ready to assist him. Such an instance 

 of honesty in a poor man, is worthy of all commen- 

 dation. It was fortunate for the owner that many 

 who pass themselves off tor genttemen, wore not the 

 finders. — Boston Al'as.

Keeping Truth in Ihe Dark. — :\ very good widow 

 lady, who was looked up to by the congregation to 

 which she belonged as an example of piety, con- 

 trived to bring her conscience to terms for one lit- 

 tle indulgence. She loved porter — ay, dearly, — 

 and one day just as she was receiving half a dozen 

 bottles from the man who usually brought her the 

 comforting beverage, she perceived (O, horror!) two 

 of the grave elders of the church approach her door. 

 She ran the man out the back way, and put the 

 bottles under the bed. The weather was hot, aid 

 while conversing with her holy friends, pop went 

 one of the corks. 



" Dear me !" e.xclaimed the £5;)od lady, "there 

 goes that bed cord ! it snapped ^f terday just the 

 same way: I must have a new rope, that's sartin." 



In a few moments pop wont another, followed 

 by the peculiar hiss of the escaping liquor. The 

 bed-cord would'nt answer this time, but the good 

 lady was not at a loss. 



" Dear me!" says she, " that black cat of mine 

 must be at some mischief there. S'cat you tor- 

 ment !" 



Another bottle popped off, and the porter came 

 stealing out from under the bed curtains! This 

 was the hardest case of all to get over — but our 

 good old soul was yet 'on hand' 



"Odear me!" said she, " I'd forgot — it's the 

 yeast! Prudence! come here and take away these 

 bottles of yeast !" — Picayune.
