A Dead Failure. We were returning from the great ‘Boston’ and ‘Fashion’ race on Long Island, and as it is generally the case at such a time, there was a queer crowd upon the train, and the conductor experienced considerable difficulty in collecting his fare. In the motley mass was a seedy-looking Dutchman, who took a seat in front of us, and we noticed as the collector of the tickets and the ‘rhino’ approacked, he twisted about uneasily, nnd looked particularly nervous. At length the dreaded moneytaker stood confronting him. •Fare, sir,’ said he, extending his i palm. •Didn’t I pait you before?’ answered Hans, with a wretched effort to look surprised. ‘No, you didn’t paid before.' Come! fork over.’ •Veil den. I 'spose I pays you agin said the Dutchman. ‘I dosen’t van! no troubles about;’ and he continued feeling ■ in his pockets. After much fumbling, he pulled out a suspicious looking Spanish dollar, and handed it over. •Look here, my fine fellow,’ said the conductor, rubbing his thumb over the coin, that wont do with me! You must pass off your bogus money on somebody i greener.’ ‘Vol ist de matter?’ queried the DutchI man, as he took the coin back. ‘The matter is,’ said the conductor, begining to get Impatient,‘that your money is bad, and you must pay or get out of tho- car.’ •Mein Got!’ exclaimed Hans, 'ef dat is a pad tollar, ten te tarn rascal on te track shea* me—for 1 pet him mit tollar, end I vitis, be gif me dat y test as I was git inter de cars.’ •Well.’ said the conductor, ‘if you bet a dollar with a man and you win, and he paid you just as you were getting into the 1 cars, you have not had a chance to spend i | any money since and so you must have I | the dollar you bet with him—hand over. i •Oh, yas!' and the Dutchman’s jaw fell [ I 'about a feet. ‘Oh, yas! 1 hid a tollar to ■ Ipet mit him; mine vas pad one too.' Hans had to walk. [Spirit of the Times, A Model Young Woman. The model young woman matures at ' the age of fourteen, by doffing the pan■talelles, concealing her ancles and exposinij her bosom. At this age she com mences receiving rose colored notes from ..young gentlemen in gilt chains and cloth straps to their boots, deeming them of no ■sort of interest unless received in some ■mysterious or contraband manner. She looks upon books with contempt, and meets young dry goods clerks with nar-' grow escapes from moustaches; and ini •pregnable standing collars, tn obscure a stress- She is frantically fond of vivid Jove stories, in which Augustus tunnels ■through several mountains, challenges ■dangerous flying dragons, and slaughters Sin a ‘promiscuous’ manner a score of riavals, to reach the arm of Adel^etha —the consternation of‘all hands’green serpents blue lire, fatal death ifce. She is exhibit- ■ cd nt her ‘coming out' as a specimen of fringing up, and out; her acomplishments, tonsisiiugof—‘Twerevain to tell thee all ■ fee!,’ on the piano, the first five or six Chapters of ‘Moral philosophy,’ and hall ku acre of blue and white tarletnn tastefully and frequently erupted with pink ribbon. She finished her education by laying abed ul! the afternoon. In the evening she makes her appearance at a biillianl party with as few cloths as fashion will possibly allow, and c-xibits herself as a subject for matrimony. She simpers and flirts aud flirtsand simpers, imagines she is in love when site is utterly incapable of that sentiment, and next day runs off romantically and is married by a third rate clergy man in a fourth rate tav«rn. This is her climix. W Notwithstanding the croaking through the newspapers —perhaps Io help off the old crop at satisfactory prices—we are inelrned io think that the prospects of the new crop in the country at large, are fully up to an average, and there is probably a larger surface covtred than ever before. H True!—The Elmira Gazette says vir-, tUe is no security in this world. Whati can be more upright than pump logs and ’ editors, yet both ace destined to be bored. HECATIR M IKKE I .
