Miss Vulture, a thorough spqej- 1 men of a spiteful old maid, lived in one, and next door resided Mrs. At wood, and her family, consisting of two noisy boys of about fifteen and two charming girls, both under twenty years of ago. ' , - These two girls, Amy and Kate, were1 Miss Vulture's particular abom inations and they knew it, and in ; return did not bear her any good will. She was always stationed at "Her parlor "window when they went out, and, knowing- her eagle eye to be upon them, they would thrust their hands into their pretty i little r tailor-made jacket pockets and trip along in a particularly saucy and aggravating manner. " " . " . Then they woujd play cricket, and romp with their brothers in the back garden, singing, and even whistling, . at the tops of their, voices. J: On all occasions they did their best to shock Miss Vulture and they suc ceeded. - ; ' x This caused Miss Vulture to watch '" and pry all th,e more , , " ;' One morning in the early part of November, as Miss'Yulture was sit ting, at her window knitting and quizzing her neighbors, Amy came swiftly out of-the house next door. She knew Miss Vulture was watch ing her, for she perched her hat co quettishly on one side, and drew her handkerchief , out of her ulster pock ; et with' an elaborate iion'nsh; but as s'le did so,: a little ' pink note was pullecl out with lt? and fluttered down on the pavement. ; . ; , . .

BOY AND MAN. Boy Not Always Father to Man. Many years ago, when baseball excitement was at-a height never since attending the ; national game, when everybody, from millionaires to street boys, bowed down and wor shipped, there occurred an incident winch is recalled by : our late Wall street sensationthe disappearance of Teller Richard S. Scott , from- the Bank of the Manhattan , Company with $160,00 of stolen funds. One bright June morning Banker Cross's carriage rattled down 'to the planks of a Brookjyn ferry boat.' The turn out was chiefly noticeable for the three - or four lovely girls which' it contained-i-Banker Cross's daugh ters, famous beauties. ' A- flush of pink . colortouching madden cheeks and animated gestures made by pret ty hands indicated that .the, Misses Cross wrere unusually agitated. They had been smitten, like all other New York b'elle3, with the baseball fever. Not far from the banker's ,coach;a.ti ny newsboy stood , pleading ' with a y outh of fixe gilded order : The danr dy" wajfdut of temper'and tbenganT in consequently :r had - to r suffer. "Give me my money or give me 'my paper,? -demanded the boy. ; "You know I can't stand foolin' here, so hurry ' up.'! "Get out, you L cheeky young beggar j" . was the savage re ply, "or I'll have you arrested." The altercation' went on, when suddenly the paper; went . over into the East river, and,? without warning, the pol ished gaiters of the man in fine clothes collided with the, newsboy. Then a quiet young fellow of rather athletic build, who had looked up at the noise from the bat handle he had been stringing,' strode over to . the dandy, tapped him on the shoulder and said '"Pay that boy his mon ey ! r I saw you toss his paper over board." 1 : v'" -1 "What right have you to' inter fere?", the 'ffilded youth responded; "Give the boy his money' sir!" The dandy'swonly reply was to shove the stranger . asider ' and: in another mstantj. while the newsboy stood among his dailes on the deck," the quiet mannered chap had the fellow by the throat " Slap, slap, slap I Even the. girls in 'the - coach' could hear the noise made': by 'the palm hi that hand as 'it struck- the "gilded youthls 'cheek. -.'Leaning , forward they: watched the denoumeht. "Give that boy ? his change F', s was .once more the stranger's command,- This time, it was obeyed with alacrity, and the victim i slunk off to, become- one of the first to hurry : from the. boat as she plumped into Jier dock. There was a soft little clapping of femin: hands, and dimes Avere : shower down upon the newsboy. ' Then, as the chainwere lowered and the cro wd began to scurry onward, the Cross's eoachman cracked his whip, and his fair burden ; was lost , to" sight.

Mrs. Pettingill told him him to go up stairs to her room and he would find the key in the pocket of her black dress,; which .was hanging on a nail behind the ' door She furth er explained that it was her serge dress with a- Watteau plait down the back; and looped along the front wfith small satin bows, and contfnu. e& to give a geographical description ol the garment until I'etungill got t;red and suddenly turned on his heel and left -her.' Pobr; foolish- mortal,'; he did hot know- trmth'it X was a easier, as -the Sci iptures say, for the,, eye of a rich man to crawl through a camel than for; him to find the ; pocket in - his wife's dress. Blinded by his own confidence, he took the dress off the nail, and that moment his suffering commenced. . lie took' a short survey-of the garment as : he held it up in-his left hand,- in order to locate the positiohof the pocket; His eyes rested on a small: opening and he thrust his hand into itj only to find his fingers gliding through "a' -kind of bottomless concern; and then,1 stick ing his arm into.it up to the hilt, he observed that his hand was protrude ing from an aperture on the other side. This caused him at change the position- of the dress,, and he saw another;: opening , and sounded ; its depths and ascertained that it was" tjlie same mysterious hole he had been.m'a'moment before.' -. t This slighily. annoyed, and after throwing : off his' ; coat and vest and mopping the streams of perspiration fxorrbhis 'face,? he again went in searcn of tlie pocket;. He saw a-little slit on i the righti Bide, and a softer light came into his eyes. "This is'it he murmured, and putting his hand into a shallow flounce commenced to grope around for the key, which however, was sleeping- snugly in the pocket at least two feet awav. ' Pet tingill got mad -; and began to Swear throahgh his clenched teeth. He de- termined to find the pocket or die with his face! to ,thefoe, and the next minute he eommenced stabbing the dress with both hands, and bitting it straight-blows from the - shoulder, and dancing around it ju?4 aa if he wa!s engaged in a rough and-tutnble fight.
