A few days ago young Gurlcy, whoso father lives on Croghan street, organi zed a theatrical company and purchas ed tho dime novel piny of "Hamlet-' The company consisted of three boya and a hostler, and Mr, Gurley's hired girl was to bo tho 'Ghost' if the truopc could guurauteo her fifty cents per uigbt. Young Q urlcy suddenly bloomed out aB a professional, and when his moth er asked him to briug in some wood ho replied : 'J hough I am penniless thou canst not degrade me.' 'You trot out after that wood or I'll have your father trounce you !' she ex claimed. 'The tyraut who lays his baud upon me shall die/ replied thq'bey, but he got tho wood. ' ' Ho was out on the step when a man camo along and asked htm-where Lafay etto street was, J 'Doomed for a certain time to roam tho earth !' replied Gurley in a hoarse voice, and holding his right arm out straight. , 'I say?you ! "Where is Lafayette street ?' called the man. 'Ah?could the dead but speak ah !' continued Gurley. Tho mau drove him into the house, u nd his mother sent him to the grocery after potatoes. 'I go, most noble duchess,' he said as he took up the basket, 'but my good sword shall some day evengo these in suits.' ' " Ho knew that the grocer favored the atricals; and wheu ho got there he ask ed. 'Art thou provided with a storo of 'What in thunder do you want ?' ask cd the grocer, us be cleaned the cheese knife ou a p eco of paper. 'Thy plebian miud is dull of com pre hensiou,' answered Gurley. 'Don't try to got off any of your non seuse on me, or I'll crack your empty pnte iu u minute,' roared the grocor, and 'Hamlet' had to como down from his high horse and ask for a peck of potatoes. 'What made you so long, asked his mother as ho returned. 'Thy graye shall be dug In the cy press glade !' ho haughtily answered. When his father camo home at noon Mrs. Gurley told him that she believed the boy was going crazy and related what had occurred 'I sec what ails him,' mused the fath er; 'this explains why he hangs arouud Johttsou's barn so much.' At the dinner table young Gurley spoke of bis father as tho 'illustrious i mm.' and when his mother asked him if he would have some butter gravy he i answered : 'The appetite of a warrior cannot be satisfied wilh such oonsence.' When the meal was over his father went out to his fuvoritc shade trco, cut a sprout, and the boy was askedjjto step into tho woodshed and see if the pen stock was frozen up. He fouud the old man there and he said. 'Why, most noblo, lord I supposed thee far away.' 'I'm not so far away but what I'm going to make you skip,' growled the father. 'I'll show you how to fool around with ton cent tragedies ! Como up here!' For about ten minutes tho woodshed was full of dancing feet, flying arms and moviug bodies, and then tho old man took a rest and inquired. ?There, your royal highness, dost thou want any moro V 'Oh ! no, dad?not n darned bit I' wnilod the young 'manager,' and while the father started for down town he went in and sorrowfully informed the hired girl that ho must oanccl her en gagoment until t he fall season.?Detroit Frvc iVcss. While on tho stand tostifyiug in the Dcochor Tiltou caso, Moulton, a leading witnoss, received news of the sudden death of his mother. Ho did not know sho was ill until tho news of her death camct American Girls. A French traveler, who has recently passed some mouths on this side uf tho Atlantic, furnishes the Hcvuc de* Deux Mondes quito a lengthy sketch of life aud manners iu America. Without comment wo givo that portion of his sketch in which reference is ninde to tho manners nud custoiucs of the average American girl. We ituugioo, however, that the picture drawu will be readily reeogoized. Tho writer says : The young American girls only live to have tho best,possible time. They are as free as can be. Fortunately their exaggerated lovo of pleasure is cheeked by a calculating temperament, which saves them from many a fall. Thou tho laws of tiie country protect them more ellicieully than ours would against tho enterprise of the male intriguer. They do not, however, prevent many abuses, and fast young ladies are by no means a rarity iu tho city of New York. During the day they go With some friends or with tho escort of hita.who has the privilege to flirt with theni to tho Central Turk. In winter thoy go sleighing and skating, and air their curiosity in all tho stores of Broadway. There they get all sorts of goods spread out before themj they ask tho price of each aud buy none. The impassive sale-man dots not show the least sij;n of discontent. There is a peculiar word for that singular custom. It is 'shop ping.' Auother custom which is largely practiced by American ladies is to outer oouftotioneiy shops and take ice creams at every opportunity. * * * Iu the evening the sa no young ladies are seen at the theaters au?\ in the fashionable eating saloons.

Atter the sotig he repeated a little prayer wliiCh his mother had taught him. The child all his lite ha I a lisp, but Iiis last prayer fell from his tongue without a halt or quaver, but rathe, steady and clear, ami yet with a tar oil" tone, as though another's voice of infinite swoc-tuois had scizod upon his lips iu the supreme moment, to leave an echo in his anguished mother's ears which should last as long as lifo. Short ly uficr the little prayer, the stiuiiy eyes closed and little llddte was gone. Oil Sunday hit! funeral attracted the whole city, and there was not a dry eye around the gear child's bter.'

There are hearts hard enough to re sist the force of wrath, the malice of persecution', and the fury of pride, so as to make their acts recoil ou their adversaries; but there is a power stronger than any ol these and hard in deed is the heart that can resist love. Distressing Accident Near Milan, West Tennessee, a dis tressiug accident reojntly occurred, re | suiting in tlio death id'an accomplished young lady.

She was up iu a moment, sl aking out her mill ;d plumage and swallowing the mortification with lovely smiles.
