(CONCLUDED. )
So, within ten minutes after we had first glimypsed this nondescript ho was one of us, and with his coat off and hard at it,
Beyond that end of our establish- ment which was furthest from thestreet was a doserted garden, pathless, and thiekly grown with the bloomy and vil lainous ‘jimpson’ weed and its common friend the stately sunflower. In this mournful spot was a decayed and aged little ‘ frame’ house with but one room, ene window and no ceiling—it had been a smoke house, a generation before. Nicodemus was given this lonely and ghostly den as a bed chamber.
The village smarties recognized a
a Nicodemus right away,-—-& butt to play jokes on, It was easy to see that he was inconceivably green and eoniiding. George Jones had the glory of perpetrating the tirst joke on him; he gave him acigar witha fire eracker in it, and winked to the crowd to como; the thivg exploded presently aud sweptaway the bulk of Nico lemus eyebrows and eye lashes. He simply said ,— | |
‘1 consider them kind of seeg yars dangersoine,’—and seemed to suspect nothing. The next evening Nicodemus waylaid (teorge and poured a bucket of ico water over him. .
One day, while Nicodemus was In swimming, Tom McElroy ‘tied’ his clothes. Nicodemus made a bontire of Tom’s by way of retaliation.
A third joke was played upon Nico demus a day or two later,--he walked up the m idie aisle of the village church Suoday night, with a staring haad-bill pinned between hisshoulders, The joker spent the remainder of the night ehurch, in the cellar of adesertod house, and Nico lemus sat on the deor tril to- ward breakfast time to make sure that the prisoaer remembered that if any noise was made, some rough treatment would be the consequence.’ The cellar had two feet of stagnaut water in ifjand was bottomed with six inches of soft mud.
Bat | wander from the point. It was the subject of skeletons that brought the boy back to my recollection. Before a very lony time had elapsed, the village smarties began to feel an uncomfortable consciousness of not having made a very shining success out of their attempts on the simp!etou from * old Shelby.’ Ex- perimenters grew scarce and = chary. Now the doctor came io tho rescue. There was delight and applause when he proposed to scare Nicodemus to death, and explain how he was going to doit. Hiehad anoble new skeleton, —the skeleton of the late and only vil- lage celebrity, Jimmy Finn, the village drunkard,—a grisly piece of property which he had bought of Jimmy Finn himself, at auction, for fifty dollars un- der great competition, when Jimmy lay very sick in the tan-yard .a fortnight before his death. The fifty dollars had gone promptly for whiskey, and had considerably hurried up the change of! ownership in the skeleton. Thedoctor would put Jimmy Finn’s skeleton in Nicodemuis’s bed!
This is done about half-past ten in the! evening. About Nicodemus’s bedtime, —midnigat,—the village jokers came creeping stealthily through the jimpson weeds an! sunflowers toward the lonely | frame dea. ‘They reached the window |
treasure
ufter i
: and peeped in. There sat- tho loug-|
legged pauper on his bed,ina very shert shivt, and nothing more; he was dangling his legs contentedly back and) forth, ao1 wheezing ihe tune of * Camp-! town Races’ out of a paper-overlaid | comb which he was pressing against his | mouth; by him lay a new jewsharp, 2} new top, a selid indiarubber ball, a} handful of painted marbles, ‘ive pounds! of ‘store’ candy, and a well-gnawed slab of vingerbred as big and as thick as a volumeof sheet music. He had sold the skeleton tea travelling quack for three do! lars, and was enjoying the re- sult—Mirk Twain in A Tramp Abroad. =r.
SENSILLE AbDvicE.— An exchange says:—‘ There are many persons who do not kaow how to stop a newspaper. The way to do it with satistaction to, both sides is toaddress the publisher by letter, if you do not live near enough to eall at his office. It is no way to notify the postiaaster or some one else, Three postmasiers out of four will fail to no- tify the efiice of publication. jook upen it as your busincss more than | theirs. Lhe right way is as genteel and | ploasant as the other is suspicious and} shabby. If you owe fora few weeks or menths ever time, tender the amount! due. It is little thing, but it will be aj great satisfxetion to your conscience, | as every one is presumed to have one of; some kind. Stop your newspaper Hee} @ man, and yourown self-respectand the! esteem of the publisher is maintained.
