Old Peanuts poured tho peanuts into tho boy’s pocket, which he held opon to receivo thom. “ And hero’s a ten,” said tho boy. “ A torn one again I” said tho old man. “ I t Icoks^ liko tho very same one offered me just now. Whoro’d you Rot it ?” , ^ “ Out of. the gutter down the street,” said the boy.- - ' ., - I t must have gone floating down,” said Old Peanuts. “ W ell, they say a bad penny always turns up again.” ,‘i“ Give me the five, quick,” said the boy. “ I want to buy «fimo taffy with tho rest.” “ Going to keep Thanksgiving, too, I fi’poso,” said the old man, “ though I ’d liko to know what you can havo to be thankful for.” “ L o t s ,” said tho boy. “ Pustly, for this luck. I don’t pick up ton-cont stamps every day.” “ W e ll, nnd what olso ?” asked Old Peanuts. ’Causo I ’m going to got a splendid dinner. But I muBt Rivo my hair a- pull'n’ out, or they won’t lot mo in,” ho said, laughing and trying to dis- ontaDglo the mass of brown hair on his head. “ W h o -won’t let yon in?” asked Old Peanuts. “ Why,- tho .Mission,” answored.the boy. “ And it’s most timo to bo there.” “ The stamp isn’t good,” B a i d Old Peannts, handing it back to tho boy. “ W h y, yes, it is,” said tho boy. “ I t ’s only dirty.” “ But it’s torn,” said Old Peanuts. “ -I told' a boy;just now to fling it into tho putter. ” “ H e must boa funny boy tolling stamps away,” snid the boy, laughing. “ N o ,” snid Old Peanuts; “ not so funny us you think ; ho only went in for being-fair. But I gave him a-pint of peanuts because ms, .name“ was Johnny.” • “ Then yon ought to give me a pint,” said the boy, laughing ngnin, “ for my name’s Johnny, too.” “ D o n ’t stand thero laughing at mo and telling lies 1 ” said tho old man, im patiently. “ ’Tain’t lies,” answered tho boy. “ M y name is Johnny. Thoro I I can prove it.” H e drew a small thiu card out o f his jacket pooket and hold it up. ‘ “ Bead, that;” he said, trium^ jihantly! ‘ I t was a card of admission to the SDssion-House dinnor. Tho old man snatched it and read “ John Dorfling.” “ You I” he'said. His hands shook so that the card slipped out of them. Just then there oame a gust of wind, and away.„went tho, card, and the boy. after it. ■ The old 1 man tried to'call him' back, bnt he was too much agitated to p.peak. H e shook in every limb,, but he started after the boy, running as fast as he could. But the boy ran twice as fast, and he disappeared around ! a comer. Then the old man raised a feeble cry, “ Johnny I Johnny ! Stop, Johnny 1” • I'Ho '- turned* tlio' oorner,' breathless, but the 'boy was' no longer in sight. On wont the old man,looking right and left, peering in ;the open doorways and gazing wildly down the cross streets. But suddenly he thought, “ How silly I am P Ho has • found his ticket and gone-to the Mis sion dinner.” vvSo.'.witli renewed hope, he turned his steps toward tho Mission. H e explained his errand t o : the door keeper and was ushered into a largo roomj where two hundred or moré boys and girls sat at long tables laughing and talking merrily and devouring good things. 11 .Up.and down .the pass ages O ld .'Peanuts: walked,'' gazing at evoryi brown-haired; b o y ; bnt lie did not see Johnny. Then the children were appealed to. Silencie was called for and the question asked, “ I s John Dorfling here, or .does ñüy one know him ?’’ But '.all the chil dren shook their heads: :The superin tendent then searched the books; and found the 'name. “ John Dorfling,” he said, Mb a t no address.' H e probably did not know it. Many o f the children cannot M l ’whare they lire.’! \B o t '- I snppoeehe wñl oome in again .next Sunday, : said Old Peanuts. ' , The anp«niUe»daM shook his head. “ It lia doubtfal,’* I aaid 'he; “ Yom ■M a gro t many eome in a -week or two before Thanksgiving, beoanae we gire them « good dinner. „ But .only those who bee« with - n s^tlii««' aoatks' have U e k ^ to UM Tet he m a y o o m e next B«nday a n in. •Drop l 2 «iid m «,? be »dd«d, unwiJlisg to send th * old m m away withovt mmj hOMu -7 y •. _• , i ' r “ A h I - i f .

Bnt the other Johnny stood beside the .’ stand instead. ' “ You ought nottoleavo your stand ’thout onybody to look after it,” ho said. “ A lot oi iellows w»r agoin’ to make off with your peinuts, but I hap pened up and h'otlowed ‘ Perlice !’ ’ and they thought I- owned the ooneern and; took to their heels.-- The perlioe'didn’t' oòme, but I kept guard and solJ five pints, too. And there war a boy here as aaid ho owed yotl flvo cents, and”^ - ^ “ Whore is lie ?” oried tho old man. “ Why, he left the five and, he.went away,” said the bey. ‘ “ I 'd o n ’t know whioh way ; I warn’t looking.” ' - - • “ It was Johnny,” said tho old man, wringing his handu. “ Now. I shall never see him again.*’ In à choked toioè he told tho story. ' .- “ Don’t take on,”- said thè boy. Ef I ’d a-knowed it I ’d ; held o'neor him. Next tiica I,w ill. I ’ll know him again.” “ All 1” said Old Poanuts, tsnrs roll ing down his cheeks^ “ I thought J. couldn’t havo more ifottblo ; but to find him Only, to loso him again, it is moro than I can bear. But ho is a good, honest boy—I knew he was.” - “ I ’ll look for him,” Baid the boy. “ I agoing-to the Coutral Park to seo tho animals ; but never mind t and it’s nn'ftwful wayo to,walk, o'd I don’t keer much. And hero’s for the fivo pints.” “ So ; keop it for taking caro of my stand,” said Old Peanuts. , i “ No,” said tho boy. “ Tho peannts you gavo me paid for that. I ain't mean. Good-bye. Don't fret. Mobbo I ’ll fetch him along afore you know it.” The old man sat down by his stand, but ho .could .not resit “ I ’ll look for him too,” ho said. “ Ah I if I obuld only find him I-would' keep Thanksgiving. If God would only help mo ; bat I havo been so unthank ful to Him I havo no right to expect it.” ■ Ho locked up his stand and went down toward the City Hall, then up Broadway and across Onnal street, then down -tp Chatham Btrcot again, .and through- the. dirty crosa-strootBand lanes—up. and down —up and , down, until'his feet wero so tired that,'they, slipped under him. At last when night came ho went baok to his staud, un looked it and sat down on liis stool. Bnt lie was worn out ; and as he leaned h i B head against tho pine boards his oyes closed. Soon ho was in dream land. He was kooping Thanksgiving with his wifo, and his son, and little Johnny. They wero all at tho village church, singing hymns, and then again at tho old farm-houso, eating^ their Thanksgiving dinner. Little Jòlinny climbed on his kneo and kissed him, and then, p ulled his hair in fun. . . “ Doii’t pull so hard, Johnny,” lie said. And then ho opened his eyes.' “ Yea, I must pull, if you don’t wake up,” snid a voice. “ Wo tried ticklin’ and everything. Yon sleep so sound.” Old Peanuts opened his eye 3 widely and rubbed them, but still ho was afraid that he was asleep, for the two Johnnies Btood beside him. .■ • j „• “ Wont to Central -Park after all,’’ said the first Johnny, “ and found him looking at tho animalB. Thought meb- bo I would.” < “ Aro you my grandpop?” asked Johnny number two. “ I f you are, I ’m glad, though you made mo loso my dinner.” Tho old man drew-the boy to him and held him closoly in liis 1 arms as if ;ho were afraid he wonld lose him again.' \ “ And your mother?” ho asked. “ W ill she let mo havo you ?” . “ She died,” answered tho boy; “ died long ago—him too; and I.take care of myself helping a junk man.” - “ And hereafter Grandpap will tako caro of you,” the old man Enid. “ Thank God, I havo found you, and now we will eat our Thanksgiving din ner. ” •\ . i ' ^ So, hand in hand, tho throo ‘walked up thè Bowery, and down a side street, to Old Peanuts’ lodgings. Ho bought a cooked turkey and other good things on his way thero, and at tho door ho stopped-to lask a ¡neighbor 'or two to “ corno,up mid help .them be merry.” What a happy, blessed day they had, after all 1^ r H o w they talked and laugh ed, and how Old Peanuts loaned back in his chair and almost cried with joy when Johnny sang, a pretty song for them that ho had learned at ragged- scliool ! \ • . - — .... For thie first time in years, John Dor- fling, when ho sat : down to the r table;- bowed his h'éàd in penitence and grate ful prayer. But his thanksgiving did not end with that day, nor for many a day. In fact, ho is halo and hearty yot.' This very year he and Johnny hope to keep “ Thanksgiving\ with tho other Johnny ; and after dinner they all are going to ride in tho , horse-cars'to .the Park ,to see the animals .^—M a ry I f ; G il bert. ‘luck oi.

As the fire bf t-lie .onomy grew intolera bly fatal, bùi' lino dropped ' to tho ground, and there-loaded and fired,' Some loàòed on tlieir backd; and turned over.io fire: ooilioponded ot(. tho .side, add flreii lylhg on tiio bòlly. ; some ilied from tho kneo ; but very fow stood up-’ right, even to lire. Yet it is itlmost in credible to biilievo f.he Jiavon that .was mado upon this line during that after- noou. .Out of .throe hundred, and liifcy presont', rank and file, our regimont lost one hundred and oighty-eiglit, or more than one-half. Wo had in ! front of us a divi»iou, all veterans of three yoars’ ptandiugs and ws; on our oide, weio almost as v.’oil seasoned 1 in point of lime. Tho bullet’s of the onomy did not pass over' head ; thoy hissed through, the long grass, searching out thoir victims with deadly accuracy. Men wero killed by my B id o as thoy lay prono on tlieir faces, tho ball striking them in the head or breaBt, and so per sistent was the low,.range of tho fire tliat tho dry grass in front of Us was set on firo 'by the onemy’B cartridge's, and burned during a good part of tho afternoon. I was anxious to discover whether tho fire of our lino, delivered by tho mon on their bucks, on their facos, and, as I aotually saw in one instance, from be hind tho body of. a fallen comrade, had produced a liko deadly effect to that of tho enemy. The appearance of tho ground in our immediate front, as wo passed ovor it about'; 5 1 o'clock, strown with bodies, might have answorod in the affirmative, but. I had .direct evi dence on tho subject a few days after ward'from a wonnded soldier of tho enemy, at Strasburg. “ I hayo been in the service for three years,” ho aaid, “ and I never saw such slaughter before. Then mon fell right and left ; they were struck down so fast that I could hardly believe they wero really knocked over, but thought, very wrongly, that they wore shamming.” I am not, of course, suggesting the difference between shooting at' targets at-Creedmoor, aud at men on tho bat- tle-fiold. But I cannot help romarking about tho positions for firing assumed by tho marksmen at Crcodmoor, that it would bo no easy task for any of them to invent a position that waa not used either in skirmish or battio by volun teers during tlio war. And while I suy :ihis, I yield profound admiration for ¡tho marksmanship displayed at Creed -1 moor by both natives and foroigners. Assassinations in South Amcrlcr.. A Buenos Ayres paper says : An important discovery has just been made. For'somo time past woll-known residents in San Isidro havo frequently disappeared without’, anything being subsequently hoard of thom. A train from tho north recently left a case at tbo San Isidro Btation, and tho porsonB to whom it was consigned immediately applied for it, and left for a farm in the neighborhood, on which there ia a solitary house. .Bumors of revolution which had been current led tliojustico of tho peaco to bo on the q u i vive, and happening to notice the case, ho im agined. it might .contain arms for tho ub6 of aomo of the suspected robels. Ho therefore ordered some policemen to follow tho case and examine it on its arrival at its destination. It was car ried into tho houeo through a doorway so narrow that entranco even one at a timo -wag difficult: They found them- s'olves' in a narrow 1 and short hallway, and, pushing on, entered a room about five yards square, in which were a number of skeletons and bones, and othor human remains. On tho wall at the end' was an inscription in Italian, meaning— “ So dio all traitors.” An other small ..room was, thou examinudl and a large collar. Nothing remarkablé was found in the first,'but in the collar a'large'num b er of stilettos,--daggers ,1 knives, > pistols and other murderous weapons were found. . On many ,of these instruments the same inscription, “ So die all traitors,” was found, and it may not be out of place to 'recall the- memory of the dagger whioh, some years, ago, caused the death of the Italian Consul in Buenos Ayres, and on which thé same inscription was fonndJ Tho cellar was also full of bones, and among .them the head of a woman was observed to which the. hair still adhered. _________________ - .

In all tho animals tnéd,thero was a con dition of muscular'weaknéss/tremor,. and goneral exhaustion.; In : the dog the muscles of the 'posterior extremi ties, from .the seoond week . of. the ex periment onward, gradually assumed,« paralytic character, as when the fuhé- tion of the ;splnal oord is weakened. Tlio activity of the ^cerebrum was. also impaired, ,as was 'evident from, the bluntnoss’of the senses and' apathy bf tlio animal.'1 * Later on, increased ex citability often 'appeared ; the dogs .were .terrified .at aay.qaick motion; one had a brief attack of madness, ,but soon erouchcd down trembling andgrowling. On being taken but, it ran’forward and knocked its head' violently against a wall. .After the animals, had been de prived of salts for, some time, the juices .of the intestine.osñal either lost' their digestive powér or were not secreted in proper quantity, and nutrition waa thus interfered ...with, - Death -took place, however, from the alte rations ,in, the nervous system, before thero had been time for it toi occur from inanition.
