" Your leiter wro delayed iu eoue way. I did not gel it until a week ago. You remember the great piece of gold which you rent me front California two years ago? _Wdl, when I got your letterl took that gold to a jeweler and hud it made into that ring.

A recent occurrence in Youngatown, Ohio, baa given a fearful warning to the 1 pestilent tribe of practical jokers. A young 1 man named Henry Waters, somewhat : prone to superstition, and of ml her n lim1 orous nature, had been in the habit of ' keeping a piatol at the bead of lils Ud ■ where be could reach It upon tbe slightest • warning. For tire purpose of enjoying 1 an exblbitiob Jjif bis terror a party of " young fools secretly drew the bullets from ' the cartridges, leaving tbe powder undisturbed, and one of them, wrapped to a ' sheet, entered bis room at midnight, while 1 tbe rest waited near bj-. He awoke to ' great alarm and, after a'wnrning, fired at the figure. The bullet was thrown back 1 against tbe bead-board of the bed. This ! operation was repealed unlll tbe cartridges ' bad all been discharged, and then tbe victim of a practical joke fell back upon his • pillow with a scream. When lights were ! brought the miserable tools found tbeir ' friend a raving maniac, and Ire is likely to remain one for the rest of Ilia life. A TOUCHING ROMANCE. Many a romantic fiction which insy bare been thought to lax credulity toqfar. even for tbe purpose of art is justified by a drama which began in Africa a year ago, and has just ended in Paris.
