A lady wm anxious to mnko her hus band n present on tho occasion of hl birthday, and It happening to full lu winter, sho thought a dressing-gown would bo n most useful acquisition to his domestic comfort. So sho went nnd purchased n Hno I'erslnn-pnttorn, meri no one, well wadded. Not remember ing tho exact height of her husband, sho thought It best to pttrclmso ono rather too long than too short, to make sure of its usefulness. Tho day was wet, her husband returned In tho after noon, nntl sho presented him with the now article of comfort; nnd ho fancied It Indeed a great comfort after ho had putol his wet garments. Kut It was about ten Inches too long. "Oh I never mind," said tho uffectionato wife, "I can easily shorten It to suit you." They had n party In tho evening and wcro very merry, and every ono of their friends admired tho beautiful dressing- gown. After they hnd gono to oca tlio wind and rain made such a nolso that tho wlfo couldn't sleep; her husband, however, snored musically. Sho nroso without disturbing lilm, took thodress- Ing-gown nnd commenced her work, cutting off about ten inches to mnko it stilt her husband's stature nnd then went to bed again. In the morning she was up early to make somo nrrangc- iiionts with her liousekeepur, ns several friends were expected to dintur Hint tiny. Scarcely had tho lady left tho room when her sister a good natureu elderly lady, who lived with them stepped In oi Hp-toe, in order not to llsturb tho sleeper, took tho dressing- gown, and hastening to her own room, cut off about ten inches, ns sho knew It was too long for him tho night before. An hour after, tho gentleman awoko, und wns now anxious to surprise his uf fectionato wife. Ringing for the ser vant, ho was told to tnko tho dressing- gown to n tailor, nnd have It mnde shor ter by ten Inches. The good wlfo wns detained longer than she expected, and scarcely hatlthcdrosslng-gown returnetl from tho tailor when she enmo Into tho room. Her husband had Just risen, and propo-ed now to surpriso his wlfo and enjoy his comfort. Kut how sur prised was his better-half to seo her husband In a fine Persian-pattern meri no shooting-Jacket instead of a com fortable dressing-gown." PliAYKK in Cour.T.

The poor man, 3lr. A , was In a state of mind bordering upon desperation, when the opposing counsel closed his plea, nnd tho case was about to bo sub mitted to theju-'tlcofor decision. "May It pleaso your honor," said tho man, "may I pray ?" The Judge was taken somewhat by surpri-o, nnd could only .-ny ho saw no objection. Whereupon 3Ir.

This being qulto satisfactory Hie plain- till' in the action was called on to an swer a few questions, and among other ho was n-ked by tho Judgo at what amount ho estimated tlio damages. He did not well understand Hie question, and o, to bo a little plainer, tlio Judgo Inquired what ho thought the dog to bo worth. "Pesure," replied Hones, "tho dog was worth nothing, but since he wns so mean ns to kill him, ho shall pay do full value or him."
