THE STORY OF A BANT ROBBERY THAR DIDN'T COME BY TELEGRAPH. A few days ago about dusk a stranger called at the residence of a bank cashier in St Louis, and introducing himself said he desired some private conversation on busin- ess of importance. The cashier thereupon led him to a private room, gave orders that they were not to be disturbed, seated himself, folded his arms, and desired his mysterious acquaintance to communicate tho object of his visit. The man coughed once or twice, and then said : ' Being the cashfer of this yere financial instigution, of course you keep the key of he safe The cashier said he did. 'And youv'e heard about the Davenport .| Bros. and spiritualists and things 7' The cashier said he had. 'Now,' said the stranger, 'I've been study- ing up the whole business, and I have found out how to overcome them.' 'You don't say so.' 'Yes, sir, For five dollars I will impart to you a secret thatat some fature time may save your life and funds intrusted to your care. I will show you how to untie any series of.knots however complicated ; to remove a gag from your mouth, aud, in fact, to set yourself free, can release myself in 2:14} and witha week's practice I'll bes that you can show better time than three minutes: You see the advantage of my system. There is no need to resist and get shot ; all you have got todo isto let them tie you up and when they bave taken the key and gone away you can just let youcself loose aud give the alarm' The cashier said this was a wonderful in- vention, ¢ You bet it is,' said the inventor' 'and as I never take any money for it till my cust- omers are satisfied of my honesty in dealing with them, I'll tell you what I'l dor Just let me gag and bind you, and then I'll give you simple directions what to do ; and if you don't unloose yourself in flve minutes, and express your entire satisfaction with the process I'll give you ten dollars. If you find that I am a man of my word, you'll pay me five dollars.' The cashier said that nothing could be ee, A Disgusted Widow Captain W---- has just returned from the Warm Springs; The Captain is a widower, At the Springs was a widow who rather set her cap for the Captain, The girls told him to 100k out, and .the Captain replied, well, he was ready. Sitting out in the portico one evening, the cool breeze fanning like a ten-cent palm leaf, and thinking of his daughters far away at school, the widow moved up close by and opened conversation, ¢ I hear, captain, you have grown up daugters.' Yes, madam, I have." 'How I should like to see their pictures' 'I will show you a picture of my eldest daughter.' said the Captain, handing her one. 'Ob, such a sweet face,' said the widow ; "and such a fine eye! Isn't she called like you Captain ?* ¢ I don't know, madam, that she is.' 'Tt is a wonder to me, Captain W----, you do not get married.' 'Well, madam, I never think of it ; for the woman I'd have might not have me, and then, you know, vice versa, +Yes, but what kind of a lady would suit you ?' and the widow looked her swectest. It was right here the Captain's wonderful nerve never forsook him, but setting his eye steadily at the widow's, he bardened his heart and replied, "Madam,she must be ninety-five years old to a second, and worth two hundred thousand dollars.' « Itis getting sojchilly out here that I must go for my shawl,' said the widow ; and she looked frigid zones at the captain, as she brushed him by with a toss of her head. er ip ---- Grumblers. Unhappy souls! Public torments | The sun shipeson them in vain ; they only see clouds and feel cold winds.

Greet them on a'glorious winter morn. ing, with congratulations over its brightness, and they will growl back, ¢ We shall get our pay for it ; speak of the noble conduct of Mr D., and--*y-e-8, but he had no good pur- fairer than that. ¢ Another thing,' continued the visitor.-- I'ma poor man, and this secret is my only | stock in trade; ST 11 ask yon not to teach | any one else how to do itfor that would | spoil my business.' | The cashier consented to tho arrange- | ment.' «Take this ten dollar bill,' said the other, CIf I fail, keep it;7if you are satisfied, you| will return it to me with another five doll. ' ars, And, now, this is how you doit.' So | saying, he took a roll of cord and a gag from his pocket, and with great dexterity tied that cashier hand and foot, and gagged him that he could n't even wink, ¢ Now you are tied pretty firmly, ain't you? You think that you could ever get loose would you ?' The cashier looked the replies he could not speak, I don't think you could myse!f said the | inventor,' And now let me tell you my namecis Jess H James the notorious train robber, and if you don't fork over the key in three seconds I'll cut your tliroat from ear to ear.

There isa young lady in Corktown who has been engaged five times since New Years, but who is now free once more, She is an heiress in & small way, her father having a snug sum, and owning considerable property in the Eight Ward. Her suitors have always been prosperous young men, ae she will have no other wooers save those who can show signs of capability and wordly wealth, But she has an anibition to be loved for herself alone, and puts all ber in- tended husbands to the testi in this wise:-- She takes an opportunity of confiding to them, with injunctions of perfect secrecy, that her father had lost a great deal of 'money, and has been obliged to m his dwelling touse and furniture. The latter, however, she represents, is not ;mortgaged for more than one-half its worth foo she asks asa favor, that her intended advance a 'sum of money on a second chattel mortgage. -- and scriberfeels confident that he can perfectly satisty all that will each young man has promised to, advance the money, and 'afterward has broken his | promise and acted in such 'a mapner that the engagement is broken also, | Is anyone charged with an evil ? they be- | most burdensome to companionship, | by their biterness, disturbed by their grumbl. ! their miseries, and discouraged over perpei~ The effect of this ruse, so far, has been that, +/{ bad only settled in yous head!" : pose in the act,' will be flung in your face.-- believe before they fairly hear ; suspicion is | taken for certainty, scandal accepted for fact, virtue subjected to discount, a stain presum- ed on every character, evil motives insinuat- ed where none are apparent, A cloud hangs over their spirits, bitterness drops from their tongue, there is discord within, snd chaffing without, They absorb no comfort from others, but omit perpetual discomfort the The good recoil from their society, are aunoyed ings, offended by their injustice, grieved by ual failures to infuse sunshine into their ex- perience, --FEz, ---------- ¢ This company shall never get a cent of my money, said an angry lady on a railway train, 'How then will you travel ?' nsked the conductor, I will pay my fare to you. «I would advise you to put your head into a dye-pot, its rather red,' said a joker to a rather sandy-haired girl. *I'would advise you to put yours into an oven its rather soft,' said Nancy, A married gentleman, present ata rapp- ing circle, being informed that the power depended wholly on the will begged that his wife might try it, as he had never seen anything resist her will, A preacher once said that ladies were very timid : they were afraid to sing when they were asked ; afraid of taking cold ; afraid of snails or spiders ; but he never knew one afraid to get married, : A bright little boy, hearing his father say that a man ought to "stick to his business" emptied a bottle of mucilage in the old gentleman's office-chair, The old man says he has not been stuck so badly since 1857, and rewarded his offspring by taking him on a whailing trip to the back cellar.

As it is desirable in packing eggs for winter use to put up none but good ones, I try mine by relling up a pamphlet gr an almanac just large enough to slip an egg in at one end.-- Look through this toward the light, and if the egg is fresh it will 100k perfectly cléar ; if stale it looks dark. This is an excellent fest--al- most unfailing. PACKING EGGS FOR WINTER USE, Strong lime water is the best of anything, but in te absence of lime many pack their eggs small end down in common salt. me grease the shells with melted lard and har k in bran. A very goudway, too, is to filla col- ander full of eggs and pour over in akettle of boiling water, then, when cool, pack in salt; The hot water slightly cooks tie outside of the egg, making it air-tight. This is a favors ite way with many house-keepers. BEEF CROQUETS.

Take two eggs well beaten, one cup of sugar, half a cup of good sweet milk, about six tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a cup and a nlf of flour in which are two teaspoons even full of baking powder, and a teaspoon- ful of lemon essence for flavoring. Bake in one loaf in a moderate oven. Be sure your baking powder aud lemon flavoring are good and you cannot fail.

A sensation was caused the other day, says the Kingston News, by a large rat running out of the Port Office, and on its being pur- sued it took refuge under the clothes of a young girl. It crawled up nearly to her neck, and she wag very much frightened. A gentleman with some difficulty removed the brute, which was instantly killed. It raised some excitement for a little while. A Pulpit Joke.--At a church in Scotland, where there was a popular call, two candid- ates offered to preach, of the name of Adam ng, and took for his text, **Adam, where art thou?'
