And tho'nanle.of this lslo Is tho Long Ago,
And wo bury our treasures there;

And wo Sometimes hear, through tho tur

A Ueccpfian.
Ton may remember that I lectured
laHy for tbo.young gentlemen of the
Clayonlan society. During tlio after
noon of that day 1 was talking with
ono of thu young gentlemen referred
to, nnd ho said ho bad nn undo who,
from somn cauit or other, seemed to
liavo grown permanently bereft of all
emotion. And, with tears In Ills eyes,
this ynunz nian said:
Oh, If I could only sfa,'him laugh
onco more 1 Ob, IT I could only senhlni
weep I" I wns touched. I could never
withstand distress. .1 said;
"Ufing hlin to tny lecture. I'll 6tart
him for you."
"Oh, if you could but do it! If you
could but do it, all our family would
bless yon for evermore; for ho Is very
dear to us. Oh, my benefactor. t can
you make lilin laugh ? Can you bring
soothing tears to those parched orbs?"
I was profoundly moved I said:
"My son, bring the old party around.
I I have got some Jokes In my lecture
that will mko him laugh, If thero Is
nny latiuh in him; nnd, if they intss
fire, 1 bavo cot snmo .others that'll
innko him cry or kill him, ono or tho
, other."
Then tho young mnn wept on my
neck, nnd presently spread both hands
on my head anil, looked up toward
heaven, mumbling something rev
erently; nnd then ho went arter his
uncle He placed him In dill view in
the seeond row nf benches, that night,
and I began on him. I tried him with
mild Jokes first then with severe ones;
I dosed him with bad okes, and riddled
hi in with good onosj I fired old, stnlo
Jokes ,ln!o him, and peppered' hlni foro
and aft with ' red-hot new ones. I
warmed up to my work, and assaulted
htm on tho right and left, In front and
behind. I fumeV tintl charged, and
ranted, till I was hoarse and sick, and
frantic and fuilous; but I never moved
him onco I never started a smile, or a
tear I Never a ghost of a smile, and
never a suspicion of indMure 1 I was
astounded. I closed the lecture at last
with one despairing shriek with ono
wild burst of humorand hurled a
Joke of supernatural atrocity full at
lit in . It'never phased him! Then I sat
down bewild"red and exhausted.
Tho President, nf the society catno
up nnd'batlicd 'ifly'head lh cbld Water,
and said:
"YJiatniado:yoaTcfttry'on'So toward
tho lastv
I said: "I was trying to make that
confounded old Idiot laugh, l:i the sec
ond row."'
And he said: "Well, 'you wero wast
ing your time; because ho Is deaf and
dumb, and as blind as a badger."
Now, was that' any way'for that old
man's nephew to Impose on a stranger
and an orphan like me? (Mark Twain.
A little boy asked . a lady friend ot
his mother who made her teeth. She
replied "God." "Well," repllKl'VoUng

and they beat ' yours ' by a darned

Tlpklns aroused his vfo from n sound
sleep the other night, say inn ho had
seen a shost In the shape of an ass.
"Oh, let me sleep,"1 was the reply of
the Irato dame, "and don't be fright

SIcrcIiaut.
Mury years since, when I was a
young man about twenty years nf age,
I used very frequently to spend Sunday
with tny mother, who resided at Ver
sailles, this being the only da v of tho
ween on .wnirii i count leave l'a' is. i
generally walked as farns the .Carrier,
and thence I took a seat In ono of the,
public carriages, to my mother's house.
When I happened In be too early for
the diligence, I used to stop and con
verso with a beggar, whose name was
Anthony, nnd who regularly took his
station at the Barrier de Passy, where
In a loud voice he solicited alms from
every one who passed, with a degree of
perseverance that was really astonish
ing! While Anthony wns in this manner
pouring his exclamations Into tho ears
of every one who came within the
reach of hi. voice, a middle-aged mail
of respectable appearance Joined us.
He hail a pleasant expression of conn,
tc nance, was vrry well dressed, and ll
might be seen at a glance that bo was 'a
mnn In good circu instances. Here was
a fit subject for the beggar; whdqultklj;
made bis advances, proclaiming In a"
loud voice his poverty, and soliciting
rolief.
''You need not bo a beggar unless
you please," rcplled the gentleman,
"1 have no other means of Obtalnibg
a living."
"Are you lame?"
"No, sir."
"You aro not Wind, nor deaf, and
you certainly are riot dumb, as every
passer-by can testify. Listen. I will
tell you my' history In a few words.
Some fifteen or twenty years ago I was
a beggar like yourself; at length' l', be
gan to sen that It was veiy dlsgra'coful
to live on the bounty of others, and I
resolved to abandon this shameful way
of life ns soon ns I poslbly could. I
quitted Paris, went Into the provinces,
and begged for old rags. Tho peoplo
wero very kind in rue, nnd In a short
time I returned to Paris with
bly large: bundle of rags nf everv de-
Saint on. I carried thpm inmrtoii y?r
maker, who bought thera at a fair
price. I went ou collecting, until, to
my great joy, ray unnnces enacled mo
to purchase rags, so that I was no
longer forced to beg for thr-m. At
length, by diligence nnd industry. I bo-
c.iino rich enough to buy an ,ass and
uvu panniers, anu.iney saved me until
time and labor. My business increased;
the paper makers' found thU I dehlt
honestly by them; I never palmed .off
bad rugs for good ones: I prospered.
nnd t-ea tho' result. Instead of being a
poor, tlesnl-ed begsar. I h ive ten thou
sand crowns a year, nnd two houses in
ono of the be-it streets of P.irls, If,
tnen. niy menu, you cairilo no better,
begin as a rag merchant. And here,"
ho continued, ''ts'a crown, to set you
up hi your new trade; it Is more than
I hud; nnd, in addition, ploase take no
tice, that If I liud you here another
Sunday I shall report you to the po
nce."
On saying Ibis, the old gentleman
walked otf, leavfug Anthony and my
self in great surprise. Indeed j thu
beggar had beeu so much Interested (u
the history he had heard, that ho,, stood
witu open luoutu aim eyes, in mute an
tonlshirient, nor had "he oven power to
solicit alius from, two, well dressed la
dles who'pasi-cd at that moment.
I could not help being struck with
tho story, but Iliad not tlmo to com
ment upon It, as the diligence hnd ar
rived, in which I seated myself and pur- '
sued my way. From that period 1 lost
sight qi the. beggar. Whether the fear
of tho police, or tho hopj of gaining,
ten thousand crowns a year, had
wrought tho change, I was net ware;.
