of the moment my right hand was on the

mvself in the middle of an office of some

THE QUAKER AND MAGICIAN.
It is related of Signor Bliu tfiai, wash
ing one day while in . Pennsylvania to
procure a draft on New York, for a
certain amount, he stepied into one of
the country banks in that State, and made
known his wishes to (he proper officer,
who, by the way, waa a stiff, staid old
Quaker. Being informed that he could
be accommodated, he was asked
u In whose name shall I draw the
draft T : ,.h .
uIn my own, Signer Blitz," was the
answer. ' T
"Art tlroo the wonderful man who is
performing all these mysterious things I"
asked the Quaker. - i- .
uTlie saiue," answered the Signor.
"And now, friend, will thee sliow me
one uf thy Uicks T interrogated thai Qua
ker. T: ' ' : - -
With pleasure," said th Magician,"
and taking a quarter of a dollar from his
pocket, he handed it to the officer and ;
requested him to mark It so that he would
be able to distinguish it. This tlie Qua
ker did. ..' '- '- '.. , . .' . H
u And now," said tho Signor, taking a
glove from his pocket, and placing over
the quarter, which he had laid upon tho
counter, "are you sura the quarter is aa-,

"Quite sure," answered (.be Quaker,'
gently lifting the glove and beholding
the quarter snugly ensconced under it.
"Sure, quite sure ?n asked the Signor.
"Yes, friend, I see it villi mine own
eyes." answered the other. , ;
"Lift the glove," said the Magician.'
The Quaker did so, and to his conster
nation the quarter was gone.' - . '
-Friend,' said the Quaker, "wilt thoa
do that once umre P.. , t . --.
Again the Quaker placed the quarter
in the same position, and motimiiltg the
Signor to stand hack, the Quaker placed

may keep it ; if I cannot, I will aurren-.
