A su- per's more important than anybody may think. I gets a shilling a night, and finds my own color, which, l>eitig a saving man, I tisuaUv manages to scrape enough up from tlfcc waato in the painting-room— for in ti\t> matter of lime and ochre art- isU ia procligala; and if I'm hard up for h]*ok~~for • oyfbrow or a moustache, for inatancV—I gets the needful from the chimney-pipo of the stove in the property-room. I have worked my way up to the top of my profension in my line, Which is heavy lend of Rttpcrs; and Tve oceaaiou to know that at particular times, aay the first night of a new piece, I'm looked up to by the management to oftrry the play through; and I generally contrives to satisfy the hiost sanguinary expectations I'm proud of my profes- aion* I fttn** only actor for the aake of tfie filthy lucre (which I suppose means ooin), but for the literature and arfe— 'speoiahy the art. JVe studied it, really sljidi^d It; you mayn't think so, but'it's a fact. I've been married, and had ome child martied jroiipg, like most professionals. tUie waa m the third row of the ballet, and inclined to be atout; but she didn't last long, poor soul ! Hhe had an apo- plectic fit one night, and died in my arma in the green room. I was very cut ap at the time, because she was as good a wife as ever wore a ring. My darter wns aa good-looking a girl aa you'd meet anywhere; nuito different from her. mother—not In tho beauty line, bocause alio waa uirelooking, to# f but in size. Uose was veVy thin. She followed in the samp gteps aa my old woman ; and T yot her an engagement at our theatre* Of course she fell in love- girls always do at that age, seventeen— with as rising ft joung fellow aa I'd WIRII to see. I waa proud of Rose, and I was glad it turned out so: and, what's more, ho! waan't ashamed of me, although I was only a tfupcr, which made mo proud of him too. He waa very jealous of Itose, ! and wanted to take her oil the stage and marry her at once; but I objected on tho score of age. I asked him to wait a year, till she was a little older, and he took my advice*—rather unwillingly, I suspect, If his face was to be believed ; but he didn't aay so, for he always gave way to me, because t knew what was hotter than he did. One night Hose gets a letter seiit round to her from a gent in the hoxta a asking her to meet him outaido after the performance. She was very much hurt about it, for it was the first insult she'd received—they gets used to these things in time—ami brought tho letter to me. Just as I was a reading it up comes Charley—that's her young man —and lloeo anatoheti the letter out of my hand and puts it in her pocket ; but not before Oharley had seen it. He looks riirprisod, and he says: \ What's that ?\ says he. * f •' Oh I nothing,\ sho Bays, playful like, and rjms awAy ; and he turned away tod, lAit not in the same direction. When I saw Hose again, I says : 41 Why didn't you show it to him ?*' I saya. \Oh father!\ she says, \he** ao jealous ; and if he'd seen it he'd have thmahod thr» follow.\ she says, \and perhaps got into a row, ami 1 didn't want him to do that.\ She givo me the) reffer, for fear he should ask for it ; and I put it iu my pOokrt, Hevfjr . * thinking no more about it, When work wns done for the •light, me and two or three others used to take our pipo ami pot- which was half a pint o'forepenny—at a little pub. round the corner, close to tho theatre, where we waa known and respected. There we used to talk over the events of the evening ; and sometimes, when tilings was slow, we'd even condescend to talk f iolitica, but not often—we left them rivolous subjects to people as hadn't the sense to appreciate art. While we was there that night, in cornea a gent rather mopsy ; he swaggered up to the counter, ami calls for a bottle o* cham- pagne, and then asks us to drink, which we did- we never refuses that. Well, he waa agoing on about one thing and another, and at last he says : , \Thfct Rose ia a nice girl !'* I pricka up my eara at this, and T puts down the glass of champagne aa I Was just ft-ristng to my mouth—the flaas as he raid for- but I nevvr says nothing. Then he tfocs on a-lK>astin*g, and saya as he waa agoing to see her home. I jumps up, and 1 saya : \I'm that ladv'a father, and if I wasn't a old man id knock you down.\ Then I turns to my mates and tells 'em of the letter business ; and takes it out of my pocket, and hands it to him, and gives him a bit of advice aa he wanted. He waa in that rage that he was just a putting up his fist to hit me, whet Joe Puller, one of us, floors him. Then we lianded him over to a police- man. We was rather excited after- wards, what with having an extra half pint and the champagne we drunk afore we knew who we got it from. Charley *!?•£ Mulatto*? 3sh But sheaays:... \No!\ she says, \if ha eto^ me true to him without ptooU, shaVtfttftli\ I see'd ft Wis no use a-arguing wi her, so I gives in. Mr little EM* was very proud and I liked to see i but I never thought fts how pride turn love over aa it did; although ought to have known better, so often how Pauline had ft narrow *** cape ol it She wag very pftle n morning, and Tief eyes looted like do eMMMmefl, when | ftift't m*~**x* enofffrrtb *aah with comfortable, amj I leaves the color round under 'em; but it wasn't from that, I knowed, be- cause Rose waa a very tidy girl. I never says nothing, but I goes on ft-oatj- ing, and not pretending to notice anyi- thlng different; and by and by tre goes off to the theatre, t WAS Very annous to flee what Oharley would do; but he only just takes off his hat—Oharley al- ways was a gentleman—and turns away again, This here made me feel very queeriah, and I didn't know what to make on it. Things went oft 14 thlsjtefe tlhfoky tunate style for a wetjfk. itose waa too f mmd to explain, although I wftnted tor to ; bdt no, not her! and there we was. One morning she didn't eome down to breakfast M usual, so I goes np to her bed-room and saya : M What's the matter, my Beauty V \Oh father,\ aays she, \I don't feel very well just now, I dare aay I shall be all right to-nlSfht.\ , Rut her hand was a-trembling like a loaf, and her eyea was sunk; and when I come to look at her close, I waa stag- gered to aee how she'd altered in them few.daya. It flustered me more than I should a-thooght; so I gives her a kiss, and tells her to lie down quiet, and oft I goes to ft doctor. He cornea aqd feels her pnlse, and such like; then he calls me out on the landing, and says she's in a high state of fever, and must be kept very quiet, or he wouldn't be an- swerable for it. Then he began a-nsk- ing me about myself, and my profession apd cetera, \Not very rioh, I suppose?\ sajrs he. \Oh well I\ he aays, we sha'n't quar- rel about tho mouey.\ And a'welp me goodness? aa I'm standing here, ho never charged me a blessed n'penny for physic or nothing —uot aha penuy—ftnufound the bottles besides! When Charley sees me by myself, he didn't tnow what to make on it. He fidgets about me for ever so long, and at last ho comes up and asks where Roae was. I was very short with him, a-treating her as he was, though he didn't know the damage ho'd done; so I saya stiff— M My *Awgh»or*0 a* hmnr; f fr^lTot SO well aa she might be.\ \I hope sho isn't iU,\ says he, quick. \It don't much matter to you,\ I says, \whether she's ill or not,\ and I turns away, choking like, a-thinking of my little deserted beauty a-lying so quiet at home. I hurried back as soon aa 1 could, and goes up to her room ; and, God help me ! she was in tjiat state sho didn't know me, and wanted to know if I'd brought a message from Heaven from Charley, as ahe was certain he was dead, because ho hadn't been to seo her. I tried to soothe her, but it was no good ; there she kept rambling on about one thing and another, a-pretend- ing to be talking to him. and atelling him not to be sorry, aa she'd soon join him. It made me feel quite queer like, and moist about the eyea ; and I remembered I was an old man, and be- gan to think how T should feel when I was alone. She lay in this state for a week, a living chiefly on sop victuals, as I was obliged to force down her throat. It was a hard time—not be- cftiise the money waa short; I didn't mind that; but f couldn't abide to see my darling in \pain. I never went near the public then, but hurried home every night as soon as the performance was over, a-hoping always aa she'd be better, and would know mo again ; but she never did till about an hour before it come. It was a Humify night, atchurch- time. I nsed to like to think after- wards that my littlo darling was carried up to Heaven on the soundof the bells, as it died away on tho breeze. I was a-aitting quiet at tho window, melan- choly-like, it-keeping my eye on Hose to see as she didn't want nothing, and, somehow, the night my poor wife died came into my mind, and I couldn't get rid of the thought nohow. The more I tried, the more it would come. I remember as well as if it^ were yester- day, when I had her in my arms in the green-room, her a-looking up into my face aa though sho wanted to say some- thing. So T says : \Is it Rose, Mary ?\ I says, and she smiles, and I promised asl'd be a kind futhur to hor. She smiles again at that, and lays her head on my shoulder. Then I see her eyelids a-cloaing, and that told me that the Great Prompter had rung down her curtain. i I was a-looking out of the window, ^nd I sees somebody turn the corner And atop in front of the house; hut it was a-getting dark, and I couldn't make out who it was—I thought I knew the figure, too. Just as I waa a-puzzling myself a-thinking how it could be, I heard my little darling call \ Father 1\ I runs to her quick, for it waa the first time she'd knowed me since the fever took her. I had such a glad feeling at my heart as I can't I ell here—it comes so fresh to me after waiting so long, although it seemed to choke mo, too, and I couldn't speak at the moment. I sits down by her head and takes her hand in mine, and there we was, for a matter of a minute or two before either of u« said a word, a-looking into each other's faces, joyfuller th'an we'd been for some time. Then says she: \Father sheaays, \I want to see Chftriey.\ I says: \ You shall, to-morrow, my darling.\ \Let me see him to-night, father,\ she aays, [beseechingly— \let rae see him to-night, because- \ And there she stopped, I gets up—not having it in me to sse her want for anything as I eould give her, though I couldn't make out why ahe waa in such a hurry—leastways, I couldn't then ; I do now. I puts on my hat, and jnst outside who should I see a-coming across the road from the other side but Charley hisself. When he knew he wag wanted, he runs faster than I could, and by the time I got in the room there she was, with her arms round bis neck, a-smiling np into his face, and he wag a-kisaing of her, m ' ift*TCa*i**)t*tft«kNUhtl Tftftf there for t mitW* of half an hour iii MM dfttk, wfceo til of a sudden Oiaarley giveg •voir*, I raaheg in, *\nd e *ie wag my oWliog, with her hgftd ft* k id quiet on Wa bowsa* and her eyeg ihut; andlooitld aee, by the scared, fcwkon hisfftce,^hft« xfty litfle beenty Would never cheer my poor old heart Mpin.~I$n0lUh paper.

The gtrte may be described as follows: The flWne is an intricate and hazardous one, ipfl difficult to describe to one who haa Dit witnessed its operation, but its chief ts can easily be given. There is a le upon which are pasteboard checks, «e copper cash, ohlnaware but- and a pewter instrument, tunnel- d, and so arrabged as to cover a of cash when dtsirable. The cop- per cash lias in a loos* pile at the left hand of the game-keooer. When bets are made the gamblers place their checks, representing coin, on the right of the square of plate-glass in front of the keeper, and others place checks on the left. The keeper grabs a handful of the loose copper cash^ which only figfcres as an article of furniture anil and has no real or fictitious value, and plftftea it under the pewter instrument before mentioned. The gamblers who have placed money on the left side of the plate-glass bet that there will re- main under the instrument one piece of ofteh after the keeper with an abbre- viated wand has drawn away the cash at the rate of four pieces each draw. Four pieces is the regular number to draw whenever the game is played,*and the bet Is always upon the number left. If only one piece remains the gamblers on the left side win, and thoso on the right side lose. Sometimes great odds are given by the keeper to his patrons. Tho principle of the yame haa been E ven ; the minutiie is intricate. It is tmpered with all aorta of rules. The balance of power rests with tlie keeper. Such is his familiarity with tho game that he oan tell at a glance, knowing the total number of cash coins, what will be the result of the game, and can make a winning by cleverly sliding a coin be- tween his fingers and dropping it among those to be counted as ho raises tho in- strument of pewter. Finding a Bootjack. A bwusefctteper wi ftes the following plaint to the Cleveland Leader : When tho average husband of the period wants to find a bootjack kf steps to the buttery door, and leaninga^ainst the door-way with his hands in his pockets, whistles meditatively as his eyes wander along tho upper shelves. When a break in the tune occurs, you may know he has found the cake, which he devours absently, still looking for the bootjack. Being now deprived of that aid to reflection—whistling, he execntes a waltz in slow movement, sus- tained by a large piece of cake iu one hand, and a sizable pickle in the other. After a while, as the bootjack does aot make its appearance the husband does, at the door of the room, where you aro getting the baby to sleep, and shouts \Jane at the top of his voice, under tho impression that you are upstairs, an impression speedily removed. To cover tho confusion of his retreat, he stent on the dog's tail and bumps the bird-cage with his head, then wants to know what you have done with that bootjack, and why it is that you never keep things in their place. If yon are wise, and simply and calmly point, like Colambio, to the object in question hanging on its accustomed nail, he seizes upon it wrathfully, with the solemn vow that it was not there when he went through the room before The offending boots are finally left in the doorway where it is convenient to trip over them, and serenity transpires, unless yon have occasion to go around them, when you will at once see their value as a natural means of obstructing a passageway. It is estimated that one pair of boots judiciously disposed about an apartment of medium size, will prevent either a well-disposed per- son or a professional burglar from quietly making his way about it. At tea time the average husband does not care about any cake ; it isn't much like that his mother used to make. the AUttoIrf ef Parti* ?, $K *>%QWL ^esoripttpn of Hie abattoirs of Parts ig froSOhe &*»<>* thelTon.

Rut one woman succeeded in fairly melting the heart of one of the direc- tors or a Chicago Bank during the panic. She waa a young woman, not particularly pretty, perhaps, but inter- esting, and sho had tears in her eyes and $50 in the bank. Sho rushed frantically to one of the directors, and asked if she could not draw her money. \ I am very sorry, madam,\ said he, \but I can't help you to it just now.\ \ Rut I musv have it immediately,\ she returned, passionately. \ It's all I have in the world.\ \ Well, my dear madam, you must have patience aa well as the rest.\ \ Rut mine is an urgent case, and I can't wait, because—\ \Well because what ?\ \ Recause,\ said she, with a smile on her lip and a tear in her eye, \because I'm going to be married, and I've got to get some things. The man I'm going to marry has not a cent to pay the min- ister, and he fias^only one leg, and so I've got to see to everything myself.\ The benevolent director dove down into his pocket and produced his pri- vate purse, out of which ho paid her the amount And she went on her way rejaicing. TAME TOADS.—A correspondent of the llelgravia Magazine informs its readers that his children have a trough full o»V tame toads, each of which an- swers to its own name by coming when called, Tho children are very fond of them, and pet them in a wonderful manner, carrying them about the gar- den, and holding them up to any insect they may chance to fancy, so that they may swallow it. Upon one occasion one of the children, who had received an orange, was seen with her own special toad seated on her hand, partaking with his mistress of the orange in alternate sucks and bites. The toad seems to be more easily and quickly tamed than most animals. But for extent and variety of work done, these Abattoirs of Paris far ax* eeed anything found elsewhere in <9*e world* ... . 4 L ,, *,., .# .

But this Abattoir is only a part of a complete svstem by which the people are supplied with food in Paris. First, They have a cattle-market with most extensive and commodious accom- modations, not only for housing and caring for the animals, but also con- veniences for all classes of persona who hate to do with their management, such as offices, an enclosed exchange, Ac. It is quite within the truth to say that the cattle-yards of Paris aro as clean and free from all disagreeable smells and nuisances generally, as the best regulated public square in an American city. The construction of the buildings, the water supply, the thorough paving of nil the yards, streets, una passageways leading to and from it, Hre all topics on which much could bo said to guide any effort which should be made at imitation iu our own country. DoubtlcHs in any such at- tempt we should find that practically we needed to make alterations ; for in- stance, tlie condition and temper of our animals are very different from those accumulated in these yards* Thf so are \ domestic \ animals iu fact as well as in name—while mir \ Western steers \ are wild and could not be readily brought under the restraint to which these animals submit. The latter are gentle from having been handled and even fondled from birth, and can bo led Into their bath and washed, as is their custom, but not so our wild Western steers ; suc^h an undertaking with them would be im- practicable. Le f , this hint serve gen- erally to indicate that differences do exist which would render it quite im- possible for America to adopt all of the methods and systems here in vogue ; and when, therefore, I speak with com- mendation of any plan which seems adapted to the wants of this people, I would not have tho inference drawn that I would recommend its adoption by our own people without modifica- tion. A'ccot ict , There js an Abattoir or rather a series of them near by these cattle- yards to which are transferred all these cattle as soon aa they are bought by the slaughterers. Each one of these slaugh- terers continues the same caro and ten- der treatment of the animals after they come into his hands as while in the hands of the cattle dealers, drovers, or farmers. They an* tied sillily in clean apartments, well supplied with clean bedding each day, and fed with as much core as if their value depended upon each meal they consumed. How different in this respect do our butchers treat their animals ! Third, They have a piihlic market— not a private, fore-stalling afl'air, such as disgraces too many of the cities of America. Beside several thousand private mar- kets and stalls when* meat, fish and vegetables ore sold in all parts of Paris, this one public market stands out by itself unlike all the rest. Here all that enters into the consumption of the city finds place, both nt wholesale and re- tail. During tho early hours of the morning I should judge the wholesale dealers do the most of their business. Most of the supplies ftro sold by auc- tion, under the most stringent regula- tions as to quality, Weight, etc. The rapidity with which these sales are ef- fected would astonish the most expert auctioneer in our country. These sales (at auction) are extended to fish of all kinds as well as meats, and vegetables too at most seasons of the year. The manner of aonducting these sales is pe- culiar, rcqniring a very quick judg- ment, particularly where the shies are in lots without reference to measure oi weight. But the French market women seemed to enjoy the excitement, foi there was just enough uncertainty and risk to make it a mild substitute for gambling. The three institutions above referred to belong to one aystem, and should be considered together. Without their joint action tho results which we ob- serve in Paris could not be secured. All of these institutions are owned and controlled by the Government, t, e the ground and buildings are theirs and tho regulations are made without consul- tation with the occupants, although we may suppose that their convenience and experience has had much to do in es- tablishing tho laws relating to the whole subject. What will most interest the tanners to know is the manner of taking off the hides and skins, and their disposi- tion and cure afterwards, and to this subject I propose to confine myself now, reserving the more minute consideration of the whole subject for another occa- sion. All hides and skim* are \ blown off.\ This practico is supported to be adopted in order that the pelt may be removed without flesh cuts, but I have reaaon to think this is a subterfuge. It is rather for the purpose of \ blowing up the ment\ (at least that is the effect), rather than to \blow off the pelts.\ The pelt does become thicker (more swelled) under the operation, and both the meat and pelt look much improved, but whether tho result is finally any im- I movement is yvry doubtful. Kvery x>dy has puffed wind bloated meat and pelta, and every body understands and hide! «Mf W|hug described: After the animal fa4pg< 4k snail epeuing ie Ip\** •* 'P******^^ toe body, Id- to be cut, Ik Wethtft l>lace * round iron rod? ftbowt three fetH long and half fall fife* fa dxftteehVftemaerted between frft f »ltandth«0.wh» end ehoeed inftll get for she $it. m ,. nary bellows, afcde need to fort* w fate theae openings; generally one epeofaag —dar each lore fag will goAe%Vtt j? i*#tber epen inge ere mede, - work of only the effect it osroeeg to aite, and wiu4 y cue passages through which it enters. When the carcass is thus bloated the iron rod aforesaid or a wooden stick is used to pound the outside surface of the animal, for the purpose of .disturb- ing the ligaments which hold the hide and the flesh. The theory on which all thia process proceeds is the same as tliat known to exist in tho pooling or wringing of bark from the willow or chestnut tree in the spring of the year. A slight pounding of severe robbing of the outer surface will induce a separa- tion of the sap formation, and thus limbs and branches of considerable size can be peeled off. I doubt very much whether tho same effoct follows in the skinning of Animals ; I know it does not to the same extent, for the knife itt used nearly or f/uUc an mueh l*y the French Mkituur/t as with tts, with this differ- ence : in France the surface of the meat is sacrificed, and with us the hide. This is the key which unlocks the secret of all pkinning of animals. In all largo cities of America the hoteliers are tenacious of the appear- ance of their beef ; the outside cuticle must bo preserved. No mark of the knife must be seen. But with the packers the case is different, and hence their hides'are much freer from flesh cuts. Their beef is not exposed for sale in the carcass. The butchers of France, Germany, Austria, and Switzer- land are unmindful to a very great ex- tent how their outside beef hurface ap- pears. They always expose the inner side to view, and dress this by overlay- ing with fat in the most artistic man- ner—disregarding nil considerations, but the preservation of the pelt. Of course there are, for this reason, but few cuts. Whenever a alip of the knife is made it takes the direction of the meat and not tho pelt. The result ia that both hides and skins are freer from flesh cuts than either in England or America, where a different estimate is put on the relative value of hides and beef. _ _ Slavery Among the Ants. Among ants the habit of slave-making aa discovered by the German naturalist, Huber, is one of the wonders of the animal kingdom. This habit belongs to the Amazons, or rod ants of South Africa. These leave their own dwelling in tho evening, go to that of some tribe of black ants with the intention of making captives. Tho assailed are, however, not to submit so tamely. They organize for the defence and resist their assailants furiously. The battle is long and fierce, sometimes one side some- times the other having the ad vantage. We have read of and admired the bra- very of the Old Guard in their charge at Waterloo, but here are charges and counter charges as fierce as any on that famous field. Wo admire our Revolu tionary fathers for defending their homes against foreign invasion, but what shall we say of the ants defending theirs until all the adult members of the tribe are killed or wounded. But, not stopping to dilate upon tho con- test, wo can say the Amazons may be defeated, but they will probably con quor, and after killing or renderiug helpless all their adult foes, descend into tho dwelling, Aake captive, and convey the larvaj and young to their homes. This done, and the slaves being trained to perform the duties of their new condition, the captors give them- selves up to a life of ease and l>ecome so enervated and imbecile as to bo un- able to care for themselves, if aftrr a short period their slaves are removed, the tribe will'die for want of f<n>d. The distinguished naturalist to whom I re- ferred took a colony and removed their serfs. Tha result was the tribe were dying rapidly, when a single slave was introduced, and was immediately set at work supplying f#od f rearing young, and in every respect caring for the body, so that in a few hours life and ion he**, a^;$4M^ J**** many of the NeiTzJftCSKS sufeeag. •',••- <> .'<i vlni *TI it ' A gfegi* h¥k^m'iu0 f wmffo^ drja**upw*«lg<eei^i*»W^ of butter. • The author of tr*>a*^'*ia! «yw iaa^Ufceaman aAygstilnd>fceH H waa a constable. .. .

Waiting for His Friend. An eccentric and partially insane old resident of Brooklyn died recently. He had long been known as the \ Twelve O'clock Man,\ for reasons thus stated by a city paper: » But the \Twelve O'clock Man\ was known by sight by many persons who daily passed the City Hall at noon. For seven years he had stood near the City Hall, within sight of the clock, from 11 o'clock until tho first stroke of the noon-day bell, when he had slouched away to his home. For more than five years his daily position was at a partic- ular part of the railing, against the pickets of which he leaned, and looked mournfully at the clock. If spoken to he would mumble out an answer to the effect that he was waiting for somebody: \He'll corao by 12 o'clock; he said he would.\ It seems that the old man had earned a sum of money by hard work, and had at some time loaned it to a person who had promised to pay it by 12 o'clock on a certain day. Tho promise waa not kept, and the old man's disappointment drove him crazy. How the Old Horse Bled. Gen. Otto Frederick Marshall, of the town ot W 7 heeler, Steuben county, N.

The amount a& siract^d reaches $329,47S. Most good farmers practice tying up the cows in the barn every night. throughout the summer season, and those who do not ought -to..begin now. They are better off in the bufcn thanout, to aay nothing of the great economy of manure. This gives an opportunity to feed more or less in the barn and not only to keep up the condition but, to a considerable extent, the yield of milk. Miss Mary P. Smith, of Norwich, Conn., has sued Lewis A. Hyde, of the same town for $300 damages. It seems Mr. Hyde, who is a promioent citizen, was carrying home a piece of lead-pipe in a horse-car and leaned it sgainst tnw seat. A sudden jerk of the oar eefeeed it to fall, and unhappily it struck Mias Smith's foot, causing her, as alleged, serious injury. Hence the suit, which will be ably contested.
