PEARLS ANDBLAOKEEBBIES, “N o !” said Dr. D abianq , slowly— “no I I cim’t believG the evidence of mj* own senses!” And as he enunciated the words with impressive distinctness he looked solemnly at H aeiiy C lip ^ obd . He might have foimd a worse looking individual to fix hip regards upon than i;his young M. D., who had taken his first lessons in honep, muscles and hu man anatomy, with, the therapeutics belonging thereto, iu the little ofdce across the hall, and was just preparing to hang up a shingle o f his own; for Harry Olifitord was tall and shapely, ■with red-hrown heir and a hnge anbum fiiustache, smd merry eyes ihofc laughed like springs of water in the sunshine. Dr. Daring took off his spectacles, folded them, and deliberately placed them in their case, still -without taking his eyes from' his neophyte. Harry OUfford smiled; but he looked a Ittle embarrassed, not-withstanding. “She would have you in a minute, if you were to propose,”pursuedDx. Dar ling, dropping great red-hot splashes of sei^ng wax over a sheet of blotting paper and stamping them -with his mono gram seal in an aimless sort of way, “Yes; but I tell you, sir, I don’t want to propose,” saidHarry, staring at the intertwined D. J. D.’s as if they were the most interesting things in the world. ‘tYou don’t want a pretty girl for a -wife ?” “Notthat pretty girl iji particular,, doctor.” “Norfifty thousand dollars?” added the doctor, prononneing tho three mo mentous words in a manner that made them sound very weighty indeed. “I'Would.not object to the fifty thous and dollars imltseji,. sir;.

Dr. Darling. “'SVell, weU, the Scotch proverb has it, ‘a -willfu’ man maun hae his way,’ and I shall interfere no further.

The inorning sun was casting bright, flickering threads of gold across the Mtcben floor; the morning-glories and Madeira -rines, trained across ijiB case ment, stirred softly in the mid-July air ; and uESULiVRuBOX, Mrs, Darling 9 or» rhan. niece, was busy “doing up’* blijok- rerries. , , ■ Fresh as a rose, with hazel .eyes, softened to intense blacfaess at times by the shadow of their long lashes, and smiling scarlet lips^ she stood there— her calico dress concealed by thuhonse- wifely apron of white dimity that 'was tied around her waist, and her black curls tucked remorselessly behind her ears—^looking demurely into the bub bling depths of the preserving-kettle, like a beautiful parody on one. of the ■witches in “Maehetli;’’ while on the whitely-sebuted pine table beyond a ; jlittenng tin vessel wa? upbeaped with lefiutiful ^ ’ -------- berry flat tal belle, “Ursula J” The.pxettyyoung girl started, very nearly droppmg her skimmer into the presCrying-kettle.

Harry walked up to the range and took both her hands in his. “Harry,<f07t’<.’ ThebCrrieswillbum. “Let ^em bum, then ; who cares ?” “But what do you want?” she asked, struggling impotently to escape, and laughing in spite of the grave look she iain would have assumed. “To see your eyes, Ursula.” She lifted the soft hazel orbs to his face; then -withdrew them -with a sud den shyness. “Do you know what answer I read to those eyes, dearest?” he whispered, after a moment or two of sitohee, 'broken only b y the hissing and simmering of the boiling blackberries. “No,’* “Ireadwes.'” \“Oh Harry, I dare not. Uncle and Aunt are so determined you shall marry iMiss Bradbury.” ' “And I am so determined not to mar- yy her.

Do let go of my hands!” Hairy Clifford deftly seized a big iron spoon, and stirred the boiling depths •yigoroualy. “It’s all your imagination, Ursula!” “No; it’s not; and if they are the least bit scorched they will be spoiled for Aunt Darling.” “But, Ursula ----- The creaking sound of an opening door beyond, suddenly dissolved the te(c a ietP; 'Ursnla almost pushed Har ry Clifford out of the kitchen. “ You’ll he on the piazza to-night when they have all gone to the concert he persisted to asking through the crack in the door. “Yes, yes, anything-^—eveiythtog; only g o !” And Harry went, beginning to realize that love-making and preserving do not assimilate. “Your pearl brooch, my dear? Oh, I remember now. I gave it to H a r y more than a week ago to havb it mend ed. I dare say it’s done by this time ?” and Dr. Darling turned expectantly to our hero. “I—I’m very sorry,” began Harry; “h u t th e brooch disappeared in the most unaccountable manner from my vest pocket. I know I put it there — ” “Yes,” dryly toterrupted the elder ntleman, “I remember seetogyou put — there, and you assured me at the tune that you never lost anything. So the brooch is gone, eh?” “Yes, sir, it is gone. But Mrs. Dar ling may rest assured,” Harry added, ■with a glance toward that lady, “that I will replace it at the very earliest op- “Oh, it is of no consetiuence at a ll!” said Mrs. Darling, with a countenance that said plainly, “It is of the very greatest consequence? Perhaps he shall And it somewhere about the house.’’ But Hie days slipped by one by one, and the doom of the pearl brooch remained involved in the deepest mys tery. Hatty Clifford bought another one and presented it to Mrs.' Darling, -with a little complimentary _ speech, Mrs. Darling laughed, and piimed it into the folds of the thread lace barb she wore at her throat, “But it is so strange what can have become of the other 1” said Mrs, Dar ling. It was in the golden month of Sep tember that the old Dr. and Mrs. Dar ling made up their minds to invite Miss Bradbuiy to tea. “We’U have pound-cake and preserv ed blaeberries,” said Mrs. Darling, who always looked at the material side of things. “And if H ar^ don’t come to terms now, he never -will,” added her husband, who didn’t. ‘Get out the best china, and the chased silver tea-service, Ursula,” said Mrs. Darling. “And wear yonr pink French calico, cMld; it’s the most becoming dress you have,” said her Uncle, with a loving glance at the bright little brunette. And Ursula Percy obeyed bdth their mandates. Miss Bradbury came—a handsome, showy young lady, -vyith a smooth “so- -Ciety” manner that made Ursula feel herself very countryfied and common indeed. “Delicious preserves these!” said Miss Bradbury. “ThCT are of Ursula’s making,” said Mrs. Darling. And Harry Clifford passed h is plate for a second supply. “I remember the day they were brewed, or baked, or whatever you call it,” said, he, \with au arch glance at Ursula!. Suddenly old Dr. Darling grew pur ple to the face, and began to cough ■violently. Every one started up. “He’s swallowed the spoon!” cried Miss Bradbury. “Oh, oh, he’s got the apoplexy!” screamed Mrs. Darling, hysterically. “Uncle! dearest uncle!” piped up poor little Ursula! vaguely, catching at a glass of water. But Dr. Darling recovered \without any more disastrous symptoms. “It isn’t the spoon, and I don’t come of an apopletic family,” said he. “But upon my word, this is about the biggest hiaokherry I ever came perilously near swallowing!” And he held out his wife’s pearl brooch, boiled up in the claotberttes. There was amomentary silence aroxmd the table; and then it was broken by Mrs. DaxHng—one o f those blessed old ladies who never see an inch beyond their o-wn spectacled noses. “My goodness gracious !” said Mrs. Darling; “ho-w could it ever have come into the preserved blackberries? I— don’t—see—” “But I d o !” said Dr. Darling, look ing provokingly knowing, '‘Yes; ise e a^good many things now that I didn’t see before.” And Harry, glancing across the table at Ursula, was somewhat consoled to perceive that her cheeks were a shade more scarlet, if that were possible, thou his own. He followed the old Dr. into his office when the evening meal Was concluded —'Ursula did not know how she- ever would have lived through it, were it not for Mrs. Darling’s delightful obtuse^' ness, and S ophy B badbuey ’ s surface- charm of manner-—and plunged boldly into the matter. “Doctor—” be began valiantly; but the old gentleman interrupted him. “Thera’s no need of any explanation my boy,” he said. “I know now why YOU didn’t want to marry Miss Brad bury. And I don’t say that I blame you : much; only I come very near choking, to death with Ursula’s blackberry jam !’* And Dr, Darling laughed again until, : had his epuuse been present, she-would surely have thought a second attack of apoplexy among the inevitables. “Little Ursula!” he added, “\Who -would^bave thought of it? WeU, yon shall have m y blessing,” The pearls were nU discolored, and the gold of the old-fasliioned brooch tarnished with the alchemy of cooking; but Ursnla keeps that old ornament yet, more tenderly treasured, than all tbe modem knick-knacks -with which her young husband loads her toilet table. And every year, when she preserves btockbcmes, Dr. Darling cornea to tea, and makes ponderous ■^vittieisms, and pretends to search in the crystal pre serve dish for a “boUed brooch!” But then .ioUy old gentlemen -wUl have their jokes. r e e l e d JKS“Our older States shguld fee rather ashamed to let “ doughty Kansas”^ take the national gold medalforthebestpo- mological di^My,twoyeai^ in suceess- ipn. “ By their fruits ye shall know th e m . ’* FAST LIFB AT HEW YOKE HOTELS. There are ten hotels here,kept on the European plan, in each of which some onehundiedpersonsfeoard, Thesefam- ilies pay for a suite of rooms, consist ing of parlor and bed-rooms, from gl5 to $30 a day. Let tbe reader weU fix his eyes at this figure—$15 to $30 a day for two- or three, rooms t Thia price is paid, no matter whether the guests stay a week or two years. Hi the Grand Ho- teltherenreafew'sniteswhicharehigher, $300 a week. But the average is not so high. Tou can get two good-sized rooms to most of the European hotels for $200 a week or $10,000 a year, W ith regard to your meals, you pay for what you eat. You pay for peas, 50 cents; for a cujp-of coffee, 60 cents. An exam- toatjon of tho restaurant bills to one of these hotels gives the foUowtog result; average for breakfast (one person), $3; for dimier, $10 or $11; for sUpper $5 or $6. A whole family can live cheaper, for of some of the dishes, as< for in stance Of beef, an order for one ■will bring enough for twO. But on the whole the resiflt ispretty much the same, A family of three persons ■will, living economically, spend easily between $30 and a day on their meals, which in a year ypnld ampunt fp over $10,Q00. $10,000 for meals and $10,000 for two. rooms makes$30,000. Most of the peo ple boarding at these hotels keep car riages; they give little dinner-parties— evening entertainments they axe excus ed from by Society to Consideration of these good dinners; they spendthe sum mer in Europe or at the watering pla ces ; the girls have the most fashionable dres3-makerB,and the best masters. It costs them about $40,000 qr $50,000 to eke out their existence. They might have a grand brown stone front house for $10,000 a year, but then they would be afflipted 'with a dozen servants. Y o u , ask onB of the boarders at the hotel, “'Why don’t you keep house?” and you ■wiB find that to most cases a woman is at the bottom of this extravagance. Either Ahe is in “delieafe health,” or sbecanhotget along without the “help,” And so they leave their home and its privacy and independence to go into two apartments, and to pay for them a price '^tb which you could rent a pal ace, But the society of the hotel rec ompenses them. There are handSome young lords, and dashing young bucks, of the Union, aud the Union League club coming there all the time, who are sure to admire them when they come down to dinner in a grand state, and who will keep them company should they get lonely to the absence of their husbands. It is a delightful life to one that likes to do nothing. A woman in ‘ ‘delicate health” ■wUI find here rest and deliveraneefrom all household troubles, There are plenty of goodrocking-ohaira to which they can reenperate by the de lightful motion, The only burden of theirs is dress. They submit to the trouble for the sake of evading the oth- ers, and they gladly dress three times a day for the company of admiring gen tlemen and curious youngladies waiting for ibeir appearance in the restaurant 'Two of the most extravagant of these hotels have been recentlyhuilt, and their number is still on tbe increase. It is now ten. They depend more on per manent boarders than transient custom, which is ahsorbea.hy a great many ho tels p i the American plan. Only those people who would not like the best of American hotels for being too cheap and demooratic,or Europeans who pro- fer to live iu their accnstpnied, stjle, go to the European hotels. There they can easily spend $60 a day. We have been apt in learning the ait of luxurious liv ing from the Europeans, and in these Europeanhotelsnoonesitsdo-wn to din ner without his wine, Great many have .afriend to dinnei^and then it is theeas- iest thing in the world to spend $25 at a dinner. Grand dukes and princes stopping at theBuckingham palace ho tel in London may pay as much; bntit is only for a week or two. Here people pay the extravagant prices for years; they make it an every day matter. In deed, New York is the pjuy place where such things are known. Neither Lon don nOr Paris has such boarding hotels, although the first named democratic city vies with the splendor o f Par hotel aristocracy to its very “sweUy” clubs. In the summer the hoarders all go away. 'They go to Europe, to Ne-wpOrt or Sar atoga, or their country seats. Of late it has become more and more the fash ion to go-to Europe in preference to a watering-place. The Herald recently calculated that a hundred million dol lars are spent every year by Americans staying to Europe. This calculation is extravagant, but certain it is that the people who spend such fabulous sums at home -will not be niggards when they go to rove abroad. In New York it has ’ lecome a regular item of thehonsehold, $6,000 for a three months trip to Eu rope. There are many families here who have not missed a smgle summer for eight or ten years, if we except last year. — N . Y, Correspondent o f the £>t. L o u is Republican. T he A bab swobd T hick . To my astonishment, the next who is sued forth as a performer Was my Zou ave acquaintance, who far eclipsed all the otliers. He had taken off his fez, and Ms Jong sweeping hair was hanging wildly about him- He advanced to p brazier of burning charcoal placed on the ground, to which the incense was thro-wn, aUd swung his head and arms about over the rising vapor-with intense violence for several mtoutes, when he removed his embroidered jacket and then his shirt, so that the ttppper part of his body was nude, his head rocking and his hair swaying in the wtod all the time. On a signal from him, a Mara bout presented him with anaked sword, whereupon he- kissed-the Marabout’s feet, and ran the sword across h is own ton^e. Two men now came forward and held the scimitar between ^them, when he hung himself upon it with hiS bare, stomach, and in. tins way ha was carried three times round the yard amid rapturous lon-lons from above. When he ceased, the scimitar had sunk deep ly into tbe flesh of the ptomech, which had folded over it so that it xequirecLan extra effort to extract the weapon: A deep red welt remained, b u t no blood flowed. He next stood wito his feet on the edge of the blade, and 'was borne round in like manner, standing oh the weapon. After this he lay upon tbe ^ound on Ms back, and the scimitar was held over his stomach by two men, while a third stood on the hlade. This leared to inflict dreadful torture on ...j'vietim, hut gave intense gratifica tion to the female spectators to the up per gallery, who became louder than ever to their vociferations. These feats must have caused' him much suffering, for at the conclusion he was to a profuse perspiration, and he was laid on the ground and covered over for some time, after which he was supported into the house in estate of apparent exhaustion, doubtless -with a bad headache after all the churning his brain had undergone. ■Lieut.

We knew all along that it was a hum bug, you knew it, almost everybody in the country thought so, too, and even those who did put faith to tho repre sentations that it was a genuine relic of the pre-Adamite days, will stick up now for their early perception of the spuri- Ousness of the article lust as stouriy as any of us, for the whole history is kno-wn. We refer to the, Cardiff .Giant, the great stone son of Anak that has been carted over the country, both himself and his plaster casts. The author o f this stupendous impo sition is Mr. Gno. Hnij,, now aged 49 years, bom at Sidney’s Ford, on the Goimeoticnt, between Springfield and Harfford. He is at present a tobacco dealer to Syracuse, N. Y, He had been a great reader of “rational philosophy,” and having a fondness for discussion, he engaged every m a n who would argue withhini; he one night had a debate with a minis ter over the authenticity of the first few chapters of Genesis. The clergyman avowed bis most implicit faith in the nai^rative of the creation, and to the fact that our first parents were more nearly perfect than their descendants have proved to be. ‘ ‘There were giants dn those days, you know,” said the cler gyman. ‘ ‘what evidence have you that. tb,exe were giants?** demanded M s an- tagonist, ‘ ‘Why, some have been found, sir,” replied the zealous but imprudent clergyman. This set Hull to thinking; and he made .up his mind to the midtog of a giant, and to do so successfully he man—one of those oleVer felloWs who sell farmers patent chums and new fangled com-shellers-^and to him Hull confided the scheme of getting up a peL rifaction. . The peddler could not de vote his time, hut could put in, money; and he procured a barn of a friend in Chicago to which the image could be rtuade. Forty-five miles from a railway station, near the Duhnqne and Sioux City Railroad, and not far from Eort Dodge, a block of gypsum 20 ft. long, 34 ft. -wide and 2 ft. thick, were pro cured ; it was with great difficulty carted to Boonesboro, and then by rail to the Chicago barn. Two German stone cutters and Hull modeled the figure and cut it. To flnisb it up, the pores of tbe skin were required to be imitated, to which end the following de-rice was made use o f : A circular piece of card board, the size of a watch crystal, was cutout, The hand was pressed on this, learingprtotsofthepkto’spores. Dam- tog-needles were pressed through the card-board at the points marked by these pitots. Then the needles were fixed in place by plaster of Paris, and into the plaster of Paris was poured melted lead, thus forming a handle. The tool so made was a heavy hammer, with the knitttog-needlepototsproject- tog from its face. Then me whole body of the mysterious giant was carefully peeked over. Especial care was used to make the m arks p lain and deep u n d er J ohn H enby ’ s nose, in the place where modem giants wear their mustaches. Finally, the whole body had three sep arate baths of sulphuric acid, giving it a rusty, dingy appearance, and carrying the date of its origin back afe least two hundred years. The giant was boxed and sent to “G eorge O lds , Union, Broome Go., N. X.” N ewem ,, of Cardiff, ou whose farm the affair ouhninated, was an old friend of the manufaotnrer,mnd the two stmek a bargain for the planting and resurrection. In the next Summer Mr. He,weU proceeded to open a well. When they had dug down a few feet the giant was discovered, lying on its side, just as he had lato for 2,100 years, by the very marks of the earth surrounding. Curious neighbors returned to gaze. Rumor spread the report. Citizens of Syracuse came up m flocks to see the wonder. Crowds oh crowds now came to see. Newell swore he wouldn’t have his grass troddeu down anyhow, and coverefl up the hole again. This was too much for human ouriosiiy. The crowd demanded a sight at the myste rious giant, and offered to raise money to pay for the destruction of crops. So finally it naturally, though wholly un expectedly, you know, came about that fifty cents was charged as an admission fee. At this price over 5,000 persons Visited the gimit daily. A special ex cursion train was run from Rochester. Scientific men pricked up their ears from afar, and came in crowds, put on their spectacles, examined, saw thepores in the skin, tow the very similitude of nature, and pronounced the discovery a fossfi. A delegation from Harvard College finally settled it for the country, that John Henry Cardiff was no less than a pre-Adamite man,who completely overthrew the Old Testament, Of all the savans who drew near in awe, only One ventured to doubt. This was a young, sandy-haired professor frOUi Yale, who pretended to discover straws and bits of chaff in' the dirt, and to see eridences of recent digging.

CorrEB AND T ea . One of OUT best physicians sends us the following note: “1 am extremely fond of a good cup of coffee, and -wish to add my testimony as to the truth of the article on this subject to your March number. Twenly yeai-s ago, I purchas ed in Paris a small filtering coffee-pOt. For a long time I used the ground as coarsely, as it is usually Sold in the shops. Although procuring the best berries possible, I .did not uniformly succeed in obtaining at the breakfast table a first-rate beverage. I consulted many -wiseacres, some of wHomsaid that the water used, should be hotter, others that the coffee should be ffrst soaked in cold water, etc., etc. By mere accident one day I happened to have the coffee re.grdund to the fineness of snuff.— Herein lay the mystery. I have never since failed to obtain a strong, fuil-flai- vored beverage, and that, too, -without using so large a quantity o f coffee.” A correspondent of the Independent, trav eling in Sweden, was intensely delight ed with the coffee served on the steam boats and to the hotels. “At Upsala,” he writes, “we determined ib find out how they made such perfect Coffee as we had just drank, and stepped into -the neat little kitohen of the little hotel, and this was tbe report;. Take any kind of coffee-pot or um, and suspend a hag made of felt or very heairy flannel, so long that it reaches the bottom, bound on-a-wire just fitting the top; put in the freah ground, pure coffee, and pour oft freshly boiled water. The fluid fil ters through the hag, and may be used at once; needs no settling, and retains all the aroma. The advantage of this over the ordinary filter is in its econo my, as the coffee stands and- soaks out the' strength, instead of merely letting the Water-passthrough it.” A French chemist asserts that if tea be ground like coffee before hot water is poured upon it, it -poll yield nearly doulile the amount of its exhilarating qualities.— Another-writer says: “If you putu piece of lump sugar, the size of a walnut, to- to a tea>pot, you 'will make the tea in- fpseinhalf the time.” Persons who have tried this last experiment say that the result is satisfactory .—Boston Jour nal of Chemistry.

A NOBIiB SALAD-MIXBE, ■When many of the French nobili^ were refuges in England during the first years of that revolution of ’93, which has not yet come to an end, they found various ways of living. The most singular man (as weU as the most singu lar way of life on the part of a refugee) was the noble Chevalier D’A ubignb . In the deepest of his distress he was asked by-an English friend to dine at a tavern. At that time the English used to eat lettuce just as they now do water cress, -with a little salt, and nothing else. D’Aubigne took the lettuce that was placed on the table, and proceeded to make a salad after the fashion of his country, The other gff in the room curiously watched the work and the artist. They snuffed up the refreshing air of a mayonnaise, and when the Chevalier and Ms friend had consumed the delicious mixture -with an air of in tense satisfaction, a guest from another table approached the former, and said: ‘ ‘Sir, it is well knoira that salad is made properly only by your great nation. Would it be too mueb to ask of your courtesy to mix one for me and the three other-gentlemen at yonder table ?” The Chevalier accordingly assented. He went over,^ mixed the salad to their taste, made himself the wMle as a^ee- able as the salad, and just intimated, by the way, that he was a noble refugee without means of buying for himself what he mixed so weU for others. The guinea in it. A golden ii dropped at the same moment into the Chevalier’s hrato; he gave his aftdress to the donor of the guinea. The mean ing thereof was thorongHy understood. A few days later D’An-bigne received 'a letter, inviting him to repair to a ducal mansion for the purpose o f preparing a salad for a large dinner-party, as it was imderstood it was Ms profession to do. D’Aubigne presented himself -with alac rity, and when the task was completed he asked five pounds for the aoMeye-, ment. That completed tb§ conviction of the party that he was an invaluable artist in salads. He could scarcely answer the calls made upon Mm. In a brief space of time he was to be seen in a little carriage, with an attendant, to whose care-was a mahogany tose con taining separate togredieiitB for the concocting of various sorts of salads according to different tastes and require ments. Subsequently be sold similar cases as fast as he could supply them, with instructions, for the benefit of patrons at a distance. Fortune, in short, roRed to upon Mm. He was a saving and a prude® man.\ The Chev alier put away eighty thousand frances by salad-making f Sixty thousand of that sum he invested in the funds when he returned to his nativeoonntryi • With the other twenty thousand he hou^ht a castle and au estate—that is to say, of course, a country cottage and a garden —and lived at least as happily as if he had made it all by bloodshed and pil lage in war. **Lci iho load iHandcF roll oioHortlie sYies,** I C^ed JOZZZ7; -W ue I do tko stoi splse.” **lndeeA,l” criea R ichasz > ; y o u r I To b e so s h e ltered i n so th i n a dress T' \xm de- E a WIHOEHE and ®HE SCABIET I i EITEB.

A miser, living in Kufa,_had heard that in Bassora, also, there livedamiser more miserly than himself, to whom he might go to school, and from whom he might learn much. He forthwith jour neyed tMtherraadrpresented himself to the great miser as au humble commen- cer in avarice, anxious to learn, and un der Mni to become a student. ‘‘Welcome!” said the miser of Bas sora. “We’ll straight to tho market to make some purchases.” They went to the baker. “H a st thou good bread ?” “Good, indeed, my masters, and soft as butter.” ‘ ' ‘‘Mark this, friend,” said the man 6f Bassora to the one of Kufa; “butter is compared -srith bread as being the bet ter, of the two. A s w can only con sume a small quauHly orthat, it will also be cheaper, and wo shall therefore act more wisely and savingly, too, to being satisfied with butter.” They then went to the butter mer chant, aud asked if h e had good butter. “Good, indeed, and flavory, and fresh as the finest olive oil,” was the answer. “Mark this, also,” said the host to Ms guest: “On is compared with the biest butter, and, therefore, by much ought to he preferred to the latter.” They next went to the oil-veader. “Hast thou good oil?” The very best quality, -wMtqand trans parent as water,” was the reply.” “Mark that, too,” said the miser of Bassora to the one of Kufa; “By this rule the water is the very best. Now at home I have a panfiil, and most hospi tably there-rith will I entertain yon.’* And, indeed, on their return nothing but water did. he place before his guest, because they, had learned that water was better than oil, oil better than but ter, and butter better than bread. ‘'God be praised!” said the miser of Kufa; “I have not journeyed this long distance in-eain.’_’_ ___ HE Dm N ot HABEt.

The old doctor -was d smaU man, and lean, but as hard and angular as the most irtegular of pine knots. He looked as though he might be tough, but he did not seem strong.-^ Nevertheless he vras, among the know ing ones, reputed to be as agile “as a •catand to addition, was in no means Idefioient in knowledge of the “noble seieneebf self-defense.” -Well, M the Fire'shmaii class of a certain f cax was a burly beef motmtaineer of eighteen or mineteen, TMs genins conceived a great leofttempt for olfi Bolus’ physical di- pensions, and Bis soul was Lorrified that one so deficient in muscle shoulfi he so p o tential in 'Ms rule. Poor Jones—that’s what we’R caU him -had no idea of moral force. At any fate he was not inclined to knock under tod be controlled despotically by a man he imagined he coftld tie and whip. At length ho determined to give the gcntle- |nan a genteel, private threshing,, some night in the 0_oUege-(ismp,us,_pretend- mg to mistake him for some fellow stu dent. Shortly after, on. a dark and rainy night, Jones met the doctor crossing the Campus. 'Walking up to him abruptly : “Hello, Sm ith! you raseal—is this you 2” And with that he struck the old gen tleman a blow on the side of Ms face that nearly feUed Mm. Old Boliis said nothing but squared himself, and at it they went. Jones’ youth, weight and muscle made him an “ugly customer/’ but after a round or two the doctor’s science began to teR, and to a short time he had knocked Ms antagonist down, and .was a-stf addle of Ms chest, -with ope hand on Ms throat, and the other dealing vigorous cuffs on the side o f h is head. “Ah\! stop !—I beg pardon, doctor !

You don’t sell codfish or any other goods any place but here. Any fool would know where you sold them -without that Word.”— ‘ ‘That’s so, ” said the grocer; ‘ ‘boy,wipe out the word ‘here’ from the:- codfish sign.” The boy obeyed, and the next day another critic appeared.
