Jackolin's Trunk and Saddlery Emporium, on Trade street, thrust his hands deep down into his trous ers pockets and assumed the iabiD.uj.ting giin that is supposed to facilitate business, "But I wasn't cxp Ciinj to pay so much," hesitated. Mr. Ernest Elton, a portly, middle-aged gentleru i, with gold eye-ylosse3, a spotless suit of fresh broadcloth, and ir reproachable linen. "I load limited my Bclf to" "Only two of 'era male, sir," persuasively broke iu E. Jackolin, lowering- his voice to a whisper. "Couldn't be afforded at the price. A dead loss to the trade, sir. Why, we've got to sell them for a mere song-. Twenty -five dollars ! It's enough to make one Lingh. Look at them einc bin'lings, sir ! lok at them wrought -iron chimps ! Just seo the patent locks, sir, an 1 tho straps as a man might hang himself by an l never fcol.it ! Why, sir, you might fill that thera trunk with lead or granite and cart it acres the continent without starting nail !" "It certainly appears vary strong and serviceable," said Jlr. Elton, reflectively, fooling Lis chin. "And, pcrh-ips although I had limited myself to eighteen dollars" "You'll never feel the difference, s:r," said Mr. Jack'in. Pear me, sir! monoy spent for a valuable article is as gxd as an investment. Will you have your name painted on the end sir ? We do it gntis." "No, I wn't,'' said Mr. Elton, rather curtly. "I don't believe in advertising my self whle I'm travelling." "Anl there's another advantage, sir," Raid Mr. Jackolin, "iu a trunk of this re markable style and pattern. No difficulty j in identifying it, sir. Ila ! ha! ha! Why, a man could tell it in Arabia or Lower Japan !" So Mr. Elton bought the trunk, ordered it sent to his address, and went his way rejoicing. Mrs. Elton she was a sharp-nosed lady, a few years -Her than her liege lord, and given to unreisoning jealousy put on her spectacles to look at the new purchase. "How mnch did you give for it, Elton ?" Bhe demanded. "Eighteen dollars, my love," Mr. Elton responded, with a mental reservation of the other seven. "Too much." vai the conjugal comment But as, according to Mrs. Elton's views of social economy, her spouse invariably paid too much for everything he bought, he made no attempt to justify himself, but went on laying out his shirts, seeks and slippers for a projected commercial tonr. "I suppose you couldn't wait until next week," said Mrs. Elton, stirring a com pound of rock-candy, squills and liquorice in a small stone pitcher. "For T really think my cold would bo enough bettor to" "Quite out of the question, Sarah, my dear, quite out of the question," Mr. Elton hurriedly answered. "Link & Dnrmody regard it as essential that I should go at once, preparatory to the opening of thj spring trade." Mrs. Elton sneezed out her regrets. She never allowed Mr. Elton to go travelling without her when she could help it but Frovidence and influenza were too Btrong for her upon this occasion. "I know you'll get iato some scrape, Elton, if I'm not with yon," sighed she. "You're as thoughtless as a child, and " "I hope not, my love," said Mr. Elton, secretly exultant. It wasn't often he the privilege of being his own master, and he felt like a boy just out of school. Miss Mary - Anne Binder bought the second "great bargain" at the Trunk and Saddlery Emporium on Trade street. She wa3 an oil maid of the old niaidiest de scription, lean, lank and sullen, with not a great deal of money to spare ; but she , was going on a vi.dt to her cousin's up in Main, where there was two or three eligi ble old bachelors, and she resolved to go in style or perish in the attempt. "I don't want one of your liand-boxea I tht smash, up the. minute the express- j u.iii it on me railway putforui, said she. "I want a real, good, substan tial" "We can suit you exactly, ma'am " said Mr. Jackolin, rubbing his hands gleefully together. "Only two cf 'em made. Too good ! Ila ! ha ! h,a ! Just sold the other one at a loss, and you're a lady we'll do equally well by yo'l." Fate is an it responsible asrent, as we are Hnght to believe ; but there is a deal of sly waggery about Fate, after all. Elsie, how did 't happen that Mr. Elton and Miss Mary Anne Binder met on the northern train that gnsty February night, about two weeks subsequently ? Miis Mary Anne was jubilant, as she thought of Miss Sarepta and Barbara Black more, and the two Mr. Blackmores. Mr. Elton, who sat diroctly across the aisle of the railway car, was more dejected. Mrs. Elton had recovered front her cold and telegraped to him that he might expect her to meet liim at the Whiteport Hotel. "Of course she'll go theT-est of the route with me," pondered Er. Elton. "Dear me, dear me, why can't women be contented at home ?" There had boen considerble changes of train, owing to the break-down Ot a locomo tive on the snowy road, and tho passengers congregated about the baggage-car, when at last they reached Whiteport. Miss Bin der presented her check to a hackman. Mr. Elton chanced to select tho same func tionary. "If them trunks ain't as like as two peas," said Jehu to himself, as, his fares snugly seated, he banged the trunks on be hind. "Guess likely they'll know 'em apart, though ; if they don't, I can't be ex pected to !" Mr. Elton was dislodged first. "Whiteport Hotel, sir!" cried tho coach man. "This your trunk, sir ?" "That is my trunk," answered Mr. Elton, blissfully confident that no one had a trunk like his. Jehu pocketed his fare, ehut tha carriage door, sprang to his 1kx, and rattled away over the pavement at a break-n-ck pace to number ninety-two Box street, where the celebrated famdy of Blackmore resided. "Here you are ma' am !" cried he, pitch ing the trunk into the marble-paved ves tibule -with an energy that made Miss Binder rejoice ia it3 zinc corners and iron clamps. "Now, then ! One dolUr, ma'am!" Miss Binder unlocked the trunk in the presence of all four of the cousins. "I've an India crape aha-,vl out of Uncle Dixon's sea-chet for each of you, girls,' said she, "and a set of carved ivory clie.--men, and a real Turkish chibou que for Charles and Caleb. Anl" As she sjxike the war.i3 of the koy re volved, and the lid flw up. Mid3 Barbara "Uttered a shriek. "Men's Bhirts," cried she. Mr. Caleb recoiled. "Boota!" uttered he, in a hollow voice). While Mr. Charles glared, voicelesaly, at a set of shaving tools, and a yellow-coverod volume. "I wouldn't have believed it, Mary Anne, if I hadn't seen it with my own cyts," said Barbara. "A gratuitous insult," croaked Miss Sar epta, the elder sister. "It it isn't mine," squeaked the unfor tunate Mary Anne, bursting into tears of mingled perplexity and mortification. "Not yours ? Then whose is it ?" fiercely demanded Serepta Blackmore. "Mary Anne! Mary Anne! I'm ashamed of you t" But if Miss Binder was subjected to ob loquy and misconstruction, what was the gloomy cloud that settled above Mr. Ern est Elton?, when his better half facing calm possession of his keys, unlocked tho zinc bound trunk that the hotel porter deposited in their room, and beheld a brown velvet bonnet, two China crape shawls, anl a work-box "Mr. Elton !" she cried, jerking out the tray, as if it burned her fingers, "what is this ?" "My things, dear, aren't they ?" uncon sciously aaswered Mr. Elton, who sat with his broad back towards his wife and the trunk that team' his, toasting his feet at the fender. "Tour things, indeed ! Fretty things! I wonder you don't blunh to speak the words' Slippers embroidered handkerchiefs flut ed underthings ! Elton, I'll stto for a di vorce. I tri?l .'" She sank back on an easy chair, making evident preparation for a good old-fashioned attack of hysterics. Mr. Elton jumped up and sprang to the rescue. "Ernest, whose things aro these f " "My dear, I don't know." "Is this your trunk ?" "It's my rrwi&," unwillingly owned Mr. Elton. "But somebody has hoens-po-cussed my things out of it, and somebody else's in." "Ernest, that is ridiculous nonsense!" shrieked Mrs. Elton. "Oh! OM Oh! that I should live to see this day ! Go away, you false, unnatural, deceitful, double-faced" "Please, sir," interposed the voice of the hotel porter, "there's a lady hero with a big trunk as says she must see Mr. Ernest El ton." "Call the police ! send for the landlord !" called Mrs. Elton. "Coining here, her own barefaced self! Well, I never did see such impudence ! Put her out doors! Elton, how dare you look me in the face, and " "It's my trunk !' cried Mis Binder, bouncing into the room. "And it's as bad as burglary to open it, I'll have the law of you. Hero you, porter, bring up that other trunk !" "Go away, you bold thing!" piped Mrs. Elton. "'What business is it of yours ?" virulent ly demanded Mrs. Binder. "It's my husband !', "Then what is he doing with my trunk ?" ' Is it-jovr trunk ?" faintly asked Mrs. Elton. "Ladies ! ladies ! do pray preserve the peace !" soothed Mr. Elton. "Don't you see the trunks are exactly alike. It's a mistake of the hackman '8. Madam," he adlresed Miss Mary Anne, "I hope you haven't been put to any serious inconvenience," Miss Binder was mollified. Mrs. Elton unwillingly confessed herself in the wrong, and Mr. Elton wiped the perspiration from his brow, wondering what on earth would have become of him if Miss Binder and the other trunk had not made their opportune appearance just in the nick of time. "She would have got a divorce," said Mr. Elton to hinisUf. "I almost wish she had." I Miss Binder took her own treasurea back the BLtckuiore residence, and made her peace with the four cousins. Mrs. Elton ordered a cup of tea to compose her nerves, and Mr. Elton bought a pint of white paint, and Brent h:s leisure evening in inscriiiing his name in huge letters on both ends of his trunk. ' "For," said Mr. Elton, "it's the last time I'll be caught so." I Let us charitably hope that it was. FAY ATTKNTION'. Whatever you are about. ;y attention to it. Keep your mind on what you are at. Think of what you are doing. Close attention ia very much a matter of habit; and it is a bal. it which should b-j diligent ly cultivated. Take, for instance, the habit of mind in reading. One law student ha3 a general idea tliat he has seen a case rejoi-ted souu -where, in which he rather believes a cer tain point arose he is not quite sure of that which was decide 1 one way or the other, he don't remember which ! Another student who had the same book in his hand the same length of time, reiaemV-rs t what Rc;xrts it was in, the nvthiber of tlie volume, the name of t'ae case, tho niines of the counsel, the points tint came op, tho views of the diTercnt judges, if there wa3 a conflict of opinion upon them, and pre cisely what the deciiim was. Ho even ro moniers the part of the book, the very number of the p--ige where it is to be found. In his mind's ey he can see the lir.r-s, tlie words, the letters. He ha.s tiie h ibit oi fixed at tent ion, which all students should strive to acquire, ' The opposite cxtr-sma of loose reading and listening is illustrate 1 by some amus ing anecdotes. One id of a m:m who sali ne had r.ceiitly read in some paprr, he couldn't remember wh2ro it wa3, of a man named Johnson he believed his name was Johnson who had raised a thousand bar rels of pot itoes to the acre he believed it was barrels, it might possibly have been bushels ; he was quite sur.j it was potxtoe3, ' though possibly it might have been apple: ; it seemed a good deal for nn acre, he might be mist lien about that really it was irri possible, it must have been more than an acre ! j Another is of an old woman who said fcho had learnt a 6ure way to tell whether an egg was good or not ; she had heard a great many before, but this was certain, I and it was so simple, too : it was to just drop the egg into a pail of water, and if it was good it would either sink or swim, she really hid forgotten which ! It is very good practice after layin-- a book down to take up a pen and see how me witn its deadly contagion ?

A shocking case of premature interment 1 is reported to have taken place in the bur ial ground of the Jewish community of Brody, in Gallicia. The Jews, as is well- known, are prohibited keeping corpses in ' wieix nouses more man one uay, ana in ac- cordance with this prohibition, deceased Is raelites are generally buried about twenty- four hours after death. A Jewish lady, the ' wife of a wealthy merchant residing at Brody, had been a long sufferer, and was i interred the day following her demise.

The Jew ish Rabbi granted him permission, and the wxdower was horrified to find, when the cof fin was opened, the shroud in which the corpse was attired completely covered with blood. There were all the signs of a pro mature interment, and a fearful struggle for life. There are 10,500 miles of railway in Russia, of which 3,483 miles are owned by the State. There are besides 1,153 miles in progress, of construction, and 1.153 projected. A tkii ii 1 1: ; ,s to i: v. When I was Unittd States Consul at Kio Janeiro, I passed a night of horror, which morning revealed nude.- the most painful, distiessing circumstances, and the mournful rest-It of which could have lecn so easily prevented Lad it not been for negligence on my own part, that I have never ceased to blame myself for the hor rible death that occurred. A rich trader from the inteiior called at . the consulate to transact some buiiiis i'i regard to the shipment of hides and tallow, and, as be came bringing a letter of intro duction from an old friend of mine, I ex tended to Lim the hospitality of my resi dence. lie was a sociable, wel? informed man, had been engaged in the cattle tiade, IhUi in California and Australia, and could re- late thrilling incidents by i.he hour, and st interested me by his conversation that I forgot an important business transaction, and found myself compiled to make my excise after tea, for the purpose of attend- iug to it, leaving the trader on the verandah to enjoy his smoke. I was absent louse r than I bad intended to be, and returned to lind my guest had retired for the night. I a'so found upon my table a bottle, ac companied by a note, but, supposing it to be some present of wine or oiliT drink, which I was the daily recipient of, I left it to bo examined, and, peihaps tested by my guest and myself at the breakfast table the next morning, and retired. The weather Iieing very warm, it was my j ci'stom to leave the inner dom-s of my res- ! ideuce all ottn for th free circulation of I air ; but this night I retired, feeling an I'nt'Rual oppression from the heat, and there seemed to be soire strange irflnence acting upou me. some fonbtidiitg f fear that held me in wakefnlners until far into the night ; aiid then when sleep came to me it was id fUful starls. filled svith hideous dicanis, fiom which I would awake with a old 1 etspiration on my brow.

The excitement had been too great fr my frame, as I had only recovered from an exhausting illness, and I swooned a.vay under it. How long I lay in an insensible condition I know not ; but, when I revived, the hoeiible form was still there, but it had fallen by the door and waslaying still, with its face upturned, and its eyes fi:vcd in a deadly glare. Oh, Heavens, what could it be ! It was no phantom of air, aud yet I could not believe it to be a human form : was it some victim of premature burial from tlie plague that had torn away from tho impris- onnjent of the coffin, and come to pursue ing in ou the start, him lorin lying ai tne deer.
