"What can ail him?" said .Sally, as she took her bread out of the oven and j. ricked it with a straw, finding it done. 'What can ail him? I hope he ain't sick or uothimr he is so civil, poor clear." Then Sally listened again. "I declare ! he's coming down," she said. "He must le sick, and there he is knocking law !"' Then she ojenel the door. The lid of the stove was otf, and the red light flashed on a hungry face, with hollow cheeks and sunken eves. The gaunt hand stretched itself out, scooped and in it lay a and a voice said faintly : j packet "Madame, 1 know you have a kind stood the tall, iraunt liunre of the lod ger in the attic. "He's come for some bread," thought the woman, and amidst her own trou ble she grieved over the thought of re fusing his appeal. He made none, however. This is what ho snid : "Madame, awhile ago I took the lil ertvof asking you for bread. Allow me to return the loaf with thanks." So he vanished. A whole fresh loaf lay in the woman's hand. She carried it in. "This is more than I exiiec-ted," she said. "You see (ocl is good.'' She lifted the side of the candlestick a little. The light flared up. "Now, mother,"' cried a child's voice from the -lied, "I'm hungry." Sally broke it in two. It parted with singular ease. She gave a little cry. It had evidently been parted l?efore and joined together, and from the heart a handful of crumbs had been little white casions (though there wtvs no suspicion of any disaffection anions them) ; and when one of them, after receiving his ! pay, arid kissing the Dey's hand, sud denly drew a dagger, it produced a great sensation i:i the court. When, rnttfrswl of repenting him of this indis cretion, and putting it back again into his girdle, he proceeded to sheathe it in the ley's breast, and then to shoot him with a pistol, the excitement re doubled. Yet, seriously enough no IkxIv stirred, except hi inse'f. He rose, ami "walked a few yard-s"I well re collect the description of the w riter in that gazetteer calling out to his at tendants: "Among so many, can you not destroy such a villain as tins?"' and then dropped. If his Highness could not do more, it is scarcely imaginable to conceive how he could have done much less. Iut his assassin was as prompt in ac tion as the other was slow ; he no soon er had his victim on the ground than he snatched otf the lev's turban. claj Ied it on his own head, and seated himself on the throne. In the meantime a friend of this au dacious character liad lodged a pistol ball in the High Treasurer's collar lione, given him two sabre cuts over the head, and cut his right hand otf; while four more conspirators for thev were only six in all w ere "hard at work with their pistols and sabres" among the company generally. In a recent Amciican description of a free light, we read that "crowbars and other sedatives" were used ; and pistols and sabres seemed in this case also to have had a narcotic influence, for the company actually listened with patience, during all these anarchial proceedings, to a speech from the throne, a sort of programme issued by the new Dey, respecting the system of government that would Ik? pursued in future (for the man on the throne had an idea that the virtue of sover eignty lies in what he sits on, and real ly imagined that he was firmly seated in that supreme power which he had himself shown to Ik? so precarious even in a legitimate possessor of it.) He told them that he was henceforth about to govern the country on good prin ciples, and especially that he would declare war again-t a good many peo ple who fancied that no danger was hanging over their heads. "The coun try is at peace," said he, "with a good deal too many ;" and he especially bade them to take notice that he was a sov ereign "who would do justice to all," at which observation he brandish ed his sword alxmt his head in what was, (totiOticss, icit to fx? a significant manner.

With us, fish die in the boat soorr after K ing taken from the hook or out of a net. When the fishermen have caught a freight, then they sell the lot on arrival at the wharf. Consequent ly the fish have 1h.-cii dead several hours. Their decay is exeeedincrlv f-iprd. So no one knows in buying a dinner whether they are precisely fresh or not. Ice water and ice kevp'npnp-jK-aranccs long enough to sell otf the day's stock. In Chinese markets fish are swfni ining alive in tanks, so a consumer makes a selection. That excellent cus tom is lK-ginning to Th? introduced in many Kuropenn cities.

This apjiendage to the leaf apjears to be as desigiu-d and studied a piece of inechai:im as anything we can min t within Nature's more com plicated production. The leaf as we have already said, is terminated by a deep, oblong tirn ; this in general is filled with a sweet, limpid water. In the morning the lid is closed, but it opens during the hat of the day, and a portion of the water evaporates ; this is fcpW-msheil in the nigl.t, and each morning the vessel is full and the lid shut.
