Fred Dayton lighted a fresh cigar. I1U companion replied : "My wife bas a pretty cousin with her this year. An heiress, too, Fred." "What's the figure 7 "Fifty thousand, from a grandfather, in her own right, and probably as much more when her bachelor uncle leaves this world." "Is there any chance ?" "She is fancy free as yet, I believe. But after all, you have no occasion to look out for an keires3 with your fortune." "Bless your Innocence, Tom ! I could easily dispose of fifty thousand more, if it only bou-ht finery for the future Mis. Day ton." Leaning from an upper window, but concealed by a thick running Tine, a Lidy caught the words of the conversation. "Upon my word," she soliloquized, "I am really much obliged to you, Tom I So his friend will try to win my money, will he? The impudent puppy! I'll make him pay for this, or my name is not Jennie WilletL" There was a spice of coquetry in the heart of the pretty heiress, and she grimly resolved that if the suitor for her money had a heart, ehe would add to Uis sting of her refusal of his offer by wounding that or gan, if possible. So. when Mr. Fred Dayton was presented by pretty Mrs. Hogan to her cousin, he found himself greeted with a gracelul cor diality that was flattering as well as delight 1UL It was oa the projrrainme for the pleas ures of that sunny June day, that a party was to wander in a shady woods lor uai a mile, to seek a spot famous for wild straw- rries, and there to enjoy a picnic lun heon. So. as the walkers marshalled for their procession, it fell out that Sliss Jennie Willett found by her side Mr. t red Uaytou. He was in the net Miss Jennie was spread ing for him before the strawberry field was reached. And the lady f Conimencinir her flirtation with her heart full of pique, and a desire for re venge, she would not admit to nerseii what had made her morning so pleasant. She told herself it was mere gratification that her plans were working so nicely, and the prospect was now fair far her to make Mr. Dayton smart for his insolence. Yet and she stifled a sigh at the thought it was a pity this delightful deference, this effort to please, was all assumed to gain her money. She recalled words that proved uer new S'litor no mere puppy, but a man who had read much and thought deeply. Tin. summer davs cassia swiltly, and meaning smiles hovered over the faces of the others when Mr. Dayton and Miss Wil iett were mentioned or were n t-l in each other's company, for the flirtation was car ried on briskly. It was onlv flirtation, to punish bun lor his insolence, Jenny sternly told her heart, when she caucht herself musing over nis words; sighing, too, sometimes, as she thought the pleasant summer was orawuig to a close, and she must soon dismiss her cavalier from her side forever. For. and her cheeks burned then, it was to her money all this winsome court was paid, and the smiles, the aelercnce, me in tentions, were all for the sake of handling her grandfather's legacy. a ,i wi.ilB the heiress siirhed and mused, the wooer was blessing the lucky hour that im.rl.t him to X for the summer. He had forgotten the foolish speech he had made about the heiress, ana nau u:. .., tn the woman; and he thought how proud man might be of her beauty and taste when the voice 01 avjact : sT- The day came when the full heart found . s .nil as the voung couple vent in spcHu, - - walked in a shady, lovely lane, Fred. words, warm and tender, spoac u and sincere passion in his heart. It was some moments before the answer CaIUC a Jennie had to battle with a desire to put her little hand in his, and give him back She had to school her face aud steady her voice before she could answer. "Mr. Dayton, my answer to you must be to recall to your memory your conversa tion with Mr. Hogan on the porch the eve ning of your arrivaL Every word of it was distinctly audible in my room." "Then you have been playing with me?" he cried, fiercely. "I have been endeavoring to prove to you that my money has human append age." It was well for her composure then that he turned abruptly from her, and strode rapidly homeward, leaving her to turn irto a narrow by-path in the woods, and sob out all her pain in solitude. For she realized now, in bitter humilia tion, that whatever Fred Dayton had sought in wooing, he had won her heart. As the tears chased one another down her cheeks, one of the unerring instincts of true love came into her heart, and she felt deeply and keenly that the love she had insulted and rejected, was not the false suit of a fortune-hunter, but the true heart seeking which is the only sure guarantee for wedded happiness. She crept slowly home at last, hiding her red swollen eyes under her veil, and went to her own room. Upon her dressing-table lay a letter, and as she read it, there came into her busy brain a quick, luminous idea. "I'll try it," she said. "My eyes are in splendid condition. I'll try it." She took her open letter in her hand, and went mournfully into the room where luncheon was in progress of demolition. As she appeared, Fannie ened : "Jeauie, what is the matter f You look as if you had been crying your eyes out." "The S Bank is broken:" "By Jove I" cried Tom, '"all your money was in that." Jennie hid her face on Fannie's shoulder, and sobbed : "Uncle George was married last week '." "Xever mind, Jennie. Come to my room, darling," said Fannie. And Jennie suffered herself to be led away. "Fred Dayton wants to see you, Jennie," said Tom, "in the parlor." "But will you please read Uncle George's letter while I am gone!" She left the room gravely. She found Mr. Dayton waiting in the parlor marching up and down, with true masculine impatience. Before she went in, she looked a moment at the tall, graceful figure so buoyant with animation, at the liaudsome face raJiaiit now with impatient hope, and in her heart there was a glad little song, with the refrain: "He loves me ! he loves me !" All the sadness was banished from her step and face, however, as she slowly ad vanced to meet her lover. He could wait for no formality of greet ing. Abruptly, earnestly, with his whfo soul in his voice and eyes, he said : "Jennie, you rebuked me sharply to day, for uiy presumptuous and insolent speech to your cousin. I acknowledge that I de served it; but now, that the money is gone, will you not believe me, that the dearest wish of my heart is to win your lover" You are 6ure it is me you love ?" she said, in a very low voice. Before I had known you a week, dar ling, I had quite forgotten that you were an heiress, I only knew that you were the only woman I could ever love, or whose love would be precious in my heart. Suiely you may trust me now. Be my wife, and every hour shall prove to you how sincerely and tenderly I love you. Speak to me, Jennie. Why do you hide your face?" She did not tell him it was to hide her smiling mouth, her dancing eyes, but she allowed him to draw her gently into a close embrace, to take in his own her soft little hand, and tell her sweet and loving words. You'll be my wife ?" he whispered, and then she looked up. Yes, I will," she said, blushing, but looking bravely into his eyes, "for I believe you love me, and I love you with my whole heart." "Stop !" for his lips were approaching hefe, to close the speech. "Don't kiss me yet, I forgot to mention that Uncle George drew all my money from the b Hans before it broke, and has it in safe deposit elsewhere. Now you may kiss me." "But, Jennie," Fannie asked, when she and Tom joined the lovers some time later, 'what on earth were you crying about f Jennie never told, but Mr. Tom Hogan made some guesses at a private interview that Jennie would neither deny nor con firm.

If you find in Switzerland the SL Goth ard mountain, where the Khine takes its source, and f allow that beautiful river as it enters the LaUe of Constance, crosses it, and coining out at the opposite end, forms a lare cataract at Shalhaiisr a, you will see it continues its westward course till it conns to 1! isle, a:id then turns suddeuly northward. On this part of the river on the right-hand side, you will find the iliack Forest. It is called black because the trees which couipfde it, mostly pines, grow very close together, and their thick foliage shuts out the su:ili;:lit. From the Khine, the forest rises gradu al:); after some time you come out 011 a glassy plateau where vou cannot see any trees at all, and the sunlight seems much brighter there than elsewhere. On this plateau is a'pretlyTitlle town," celebrated for its numerous clock factories, and there most of the pretty cuckoo clocks are made. On one side of the plateau are a few small villages and towns, and here lived a groat ma"y years ago, an old woman named Mother EUzabcth, with her two grandchild ren. Hans and Grctchen. These two little ones were orphans, and bad no other relation than their aged grandmother, who was very poor. So poor, that often they did not have even dry bread to eat, and were obiiT"d to lie down on their straw pallets and try to sleep to forget how hun gry they were. One daj, M'-llier EUznlicth called her grandchildren to her bedside and told them they must work now or else they all would starve. So Hans a stout boy of ten years of age, an l Grctchen who was eight, start ed nut early every morning, picked up dead wood, broke it, tied it m bundles, caned fagois, aad carried it to the neighboring town for sale. This was very hard work for the children; the town was far from their home, the paths were narrow and slip pery, and the wood was heavy; but they were brave, and loved their grandmother so dearly that they were willing to work very hard for her sake. Sometimes, when they were very tired, they would stop to rest on their way to ai.d from town, atoldGottlieb'shut. Thisold man was a wood-carver, aud niade clocks, fans, paperknives, brackets, ornaments and toys out of pine wood. 1 lans loved to stand by his side and watch him carve, and when he aud Grctchen took up their loads again to continue their way, he would tell his sister, if ho only had a knife he was sure he could learn to carve, too. One fine June mornins. Gottlieb overhaard bin saying this, and took his pipe out of his mouth just long enough to say. "llrtiis, if you really want to learn, and are willing to cojsic here two hours every day, I will teach you how to carve and give you a knife." "Will you?" cried Hans. "Oh. thank you, "Gottleib! You are very kind.' 1 will come in the morning. Perhaps when I am a man I will carve well, and will be able to sell my ornaments, and then we won't have to pick up wood." The next day the wood was quickly dispos ed of, and the childcrn tripped gay ly among the slippery paths, their tongues wagging very fast, till they came to Gottlieb's hut; at the door they slipped off their wooden clogs and liftiug the latch, walked in. There under the window sat Gottlieb busi ly carving a cuckoo clock; as the children came in saying, "Good morning, little ones! WelL Hans, niy boy, I see you are in earn est about learning to carve, and as you seem eager to set to work we will begin at once. Get a stool and come and sit down here beside me." And good old Gottlieb laid aside his own work to teach Hans, whodid not find it as cav wor!: as he tho-ight it would be. His knife would slip and cut his fingers, and often when he rose from his stool his limbs ached from being kept so long in the same position. But day after day he persevered, and soon grew accustomed to his new work; in a few weeks he could boast of not having a single cut on his hands, and after a while he improved so rapidly that Gott lieb told him. "Hans my son, if you keep on improving as fast as you are now, I will soon have to take lessons from yon." After a few weeks of steady practice, he carved sone ornaments that Gottlieb pronounced "good eneugh for sale." So, early next morning he took them with him to market Many persons stopped to speak a word of praise but no one bought of hiin. Hans was getting discouraged and was going to pack up his carvings and carry them home, when he felt a strong but gentle hand laid firmly on his shoulder; he looked up and saw a handsome middle aged gentleman looking at him kindly, and asking him the price of one of his ornaments. Hans ans wered rapidly, and seemed so anxious to sell, that his" customer smiled and asked him who had carved what he was selling. Great was his surprise when Hans told him they were all his own handiwork, ne pick ed them up one after another to ciamine t hem more closely, asking questions all the while. Soon he knew the iittle story, and after se lecting a few carvings, akel Hans where he lived, and putting a gold coin in his band, he bade him a pleasant "good morning," and left him. Much elated by his success, Hans return ed home and told Gottlieb, Mother Eliza beth and Grctchen ail alxmt it; they were all very glad to think Hans bad really earned something by his 'whittling," as his grandmother called his new occupation. Meanwhile the gentleman, too, had return ed to his home, and that same evening he entertained at bis table several of his friends, and as they were excellent judges of wood carving, he showed them those he had purchased in the morning. . After repeat ing for their benefit Hans' story, he asked their opinion of the carvings, saying he thought the boy quite a genius and would like to help him in some way. All his guests pronounced the carvings remarkable for a boy of Hans' age, and after consult ing together agreed to buy all he could carve and pay him liberally. The next day the gentleman went to see Gottlieb, to ascertain "vbether Hans had tld him the truth, and when he learned what a good boy be was, and how rapidly he had learneii, wont to see him and promised to help him by buying all he could make. Jow began for Hans a new and happy life. Instead of carrying heavy - loads to town, he spent his time in carving; and as he was smart and used his eyes wherever he went examining the trees, ferns, flowers, birds, squirrels, etc., and copied them in woixl, never resting till he brought out the expression he wanted, he improved very rapidly, and soon his fame spread far and wiilc. Strangers passing through the forest were guided to bis hut and always stopped to see the boy-artist and purchase a trifle to carry away with them; and they often say there is one thing they more than his skill in carving; that is, his devotion to Mother Elizabeth, Gretchcn, and poor old Gottlieb, who has Iut his sight, and who lives with Hans. Romance of Insanity, Six or seven years after the Kirkbride Insane Asylum was opened in West Phila delphia, i'a., a young man was brought there for treatment for a mild form of in sanity. He was the son of a wealthy Geor gian planter and large slave owner. He was educated at lale college, but nctorc graduating ho ran away to sea, and after sme years' aliscnce, he was ricked up by an .vmencan vti , on one 01 u.c ooii.ueru ( Pacific Islands. He taen returned home, 1 but about a year later his mind I becoming disorder!, he was sent to Kirsbnde s asy- lira, ills case was ramy vio.eni, anu uie keepers regarded his threats of vengeance upon them as harmless. One iy 1 he asked Dr. Kirkbndo to ahow him to lum. His case was rarely vioient, and the ; go to Washington to visit some friends, but ' the doctor refused positively. "All right, sir," the man replied, "you refiise me, and upon the honor of a South ern gentleman, you shall pay for it." Dr. Kirkbride thought little of the threat and would take no precaution to prevent him from carrying it out until one morning patient was missing from the- agylucm aud then it was too lite. Dr. Kirkbride said: "Oh, he'll return here before long," and ho did. Hc return ed one night, scaled the high wall of the hospital and concealed himself in a tree. The next morning, while Dr. Kirkbride was walking in the grounds, a shot was heard, and the superintendent fell to the ground wounded. The man then descend ed from the tree, gua in hand, and cave himself up. The bullet had glanced from Dr. Kirkl.ride's head, doing no serious damage, and buried itself in the soft flcsli, where it remains to this day. A charge of assault with attempt to kill was entered against the man, but the verdict of insan ity was found, and he was sentenced to the Eastern penitentiary for "safe keeping." No one t! ought he "stpuld remain there long, but his lather lost all his money by tiie war, and so ended the young man's chance for freedom. Twenty-five years after his attempt on Dr. Kirkbridc'a life, the venerable physician called upon him in his celL As he entered the warden said : "Do you know who this is?" The prison er looked up quietly, and, alter a moment's pause, said: "Ves; that is Dr. Kirkbride, whom I tried to kill twenty-fire years ago. He insulted me, and I promised as a South ern geut'eman, to punish him for it, and 1 did." Towards the end of his life he re gained his reason suilicieutly to long for his old home in Georgia. H? used to sit up in his weil-worn chair and ask his keep ers sadly if they th-mght his people would send for him before he died. Look at your Tongue. A man can never be well and happy if the stomach is out of order; aud dyspepsia, like hysteria, imitates the symptoms of in numerable disorders. But how. the reader may ask, can 1 tell whether the illness from which 1 think I am suffering be real or im aginary ? At any rate, I should answer, look to your stomach first; and, pray, just take a elance at your tongue. If ever J was so far left to myself as to meditate some rash act, I should before going into t'ae matter, have a look at my tongue. 11 it was not pcrf ectV,- clear and moist, I should not consider myself perfectly healthy, nor perfectly sane, and would postpone my proceciiings, in the hope that my worldly prospects would get brighter. What does a physician discover by looking at the tongue? Many things. The tonirue sym pathizes with every trifling ailment of body and mind, and especially with the state of the stomach. That thin, whitish layer all over the surface most likely indicates indi gestion. A patchy tongue shows that the stomach is very much out of order indeed. A yellow tongue points to biliousness. A creamy, shivering, thick, indented tongue tells of previous excesses; and I do not like my t needs to wear such tongues, lor I sincerely believe thai real conilort cannot be secured in this world by anyone who docs not keep his feet warm, his head cool, and his tongue clean. Creasing Official Wheel. A curious episode, too good to keep, oc curred the other evening during a session of a village council which illustrates that the favorite theme of temperance is not embodied in the virtues of the village dads. It was this : The council having allowed a certain official's bill of J-4, sent hiin a note as follows: "Mr. , we are about to adjourn; where is the beer?" To which the official answered on the same slip of paper : "Keep still; I am feeding Stewart." No sooner was this received than the fol lowing was returned to the official: "Too thin. Beer is what we want." This had the desired effect, and the foam ing beverage was waltzed into the presence of the astonished council. "Mr. Jones will please take the chair," as Mr. Jones said when they were moving. Flie Loved Rim After AIL A curious row occurred on the train which brought up the excursionists from the Turner's picnic to Virginia City, Neva da. Just as the train was leaving the grounds, a neatly attired and interesting little German lady boarded one of the flat cars and began to weep bitterly. The sym pathies of the passengers were aroused by her grief, and when asked what was the matter she replied : Oh ! mine huslmnd leaves me for some of those bat vimmins. Yot do you dink dot man (lid? He dakes dree trinks ir.it dose vimmins, and helps 'em on de arain. Von I says, "Yot for, Tom, you do dot," he knocks me down. Here the passengers Itecame very much aroused, and several offered to go and thrash the husband if she would point him out. "Oh ! dt ani't all," she continued, sob bing. "What!" exclaimed half a dozen meu, springing up. "What else? Tell us what else." "Oh! de vorse ding a married vooman ever hub to dake. (Boo, hoo,) lie sings 'Bull Down Dot PlinL' Oh, my heart will break sure. (Boo, hoo, hoo-0-0!) 'Bull Down Dot PlinL Shust din! of dot, und I bis luvin vife! I could go anddrownt myself after hearin' him sing dot pad song." Here the passengers found it impossible to restrain their laughter, and at this point the husband got on the car, and seeing his wife in tears, began to abuse her. Three of the passengers rose up and said they would break every bone in his body if he didn't dry up. He found thing3 quite warm, and when a suggestion was nude to pitch hiin off the car, he quieted down at once. Near the Mound House, however, he found that several men from the next car, whose sympathies he had enlisted, were ready to help him, and he again be came demonstrative. It was clear that a admire niuchrow was pending, and in view of trouble ahead, the ladies were sent to the rear of the car. The husband, who had been threatened with expulsion, insulted one of the men who took his wife's part, aud be was knocked down. In an instant all hands were in the fracas, and those who had threatened to throw the husband off the train sprang in and attempted to do it there and then. As they were about to pitch him over the railin;, his injured wife sprang in, and, embracing him, told the crowd to stand back. "He's my hiwp-mt de pest man vat ever lifed. Now, you git back, eferybody. Don'd you lay a vin ger on him!"

A nice young man in New York is never out later than 11 o'clock and spends a great many of his evenings at horue. His rooms consist of a sleeping room, sitting room, bathing room and dressing room. The windows have curtains of rose colored silk, covered with lace draperies. The furniture is soft satin brocatelle the carpets velvet. His dressing room lttb!c is supplied with every softeair.g aud beautifying repairers of the complexion. His silver pincers, bis ivory nail cleaners, his pearl and vioM powders, would send an educated loi'y's maid into ecstaries; and his daiiity little curling irons would givo a twist to the eye brows, if it were necessary, without im pairing them. His bathroom is redolent of soaps and creams aad perfumed waters, lie powders and pencils his eyebrows regu larly, and his white satin corsets are said to lie embroidered mont exquisitely ; but for this we cannot vouch.

The original document is still in the pos session of the Chamberlain family. It was executed by Mr. John Chamlierlain, Sr., (ercat-grandsire of the present Charles Chamberlain) and Rebecca, his wife, to Henry Green, May 21, 1743, in the reign of George IL In it is recorded the sale of three hundred and sixty and three-quarters acres, comprising portions of the most val uable lands in Long Branch. Starting from a stone now more than two hundred yards ia the sea, a little north of the Rowland Hotel, the line runs west to the Long Branch and Deal turnpike, thence south to a stream flowing into Whale Pond, now known as Green's Pond, so to the ocean ; embracing the Uowland and West End Hotels, Uoey's place, and other valuable property. The price paid was seven hun dred pounds (eight shillings to the pound). A reservation was made of three rods square, being a family burying ground. The spot is some three" hundred yards north-east of where the barns were situated before the incendiary fire, on the premises of Mr. Charles Chamberlain, now residing on the ancestral domain. Adjoining the above on the south, but separated from it by the Whale Pond, lies another tract of one hun dred and fifty acres, deeded March IS, 1788, by James Green, and Anna, his wife, to John Green, for four hundred pounds. This also extends to the pike on the west, and on the south to a road now known as Woolley avenue. These deeds are the first made for what maybe properly termed Long Branch property. Tia Well" A citizen of Detroit, whose best weight never exceeds one hundred and twenty pounds was the other day buying a couple of hens of a farmer in the market, and be fore the bargain was concluded, the two became quite friendly, and the fanner said he had something on his mind to communi cate. One of his boys had a passion for theatricals and was desirous of becoming an actor. The idea was so strong on hiin tliat he had become worthless around the farm, and the father was in a peck of trouble to know how to turn the boy's at tention from the foot-lights to the plow handles. '"Spose I send him to you, and 'spose you make fun and ridicule him and let him see how foolish it is ?" suggested the fath er, and the citizen agreed. As a result of their planning the boy walked to the citi zen's p!ace of business on Congress street east, next morning. The father had called him a boy, but he weighed one hundred and sixty pounds, stood nearly six feet high, and had a pur of baeds as lurce as the chromo of the Yosemite Valley. His arrival was expected, and after a few words aliout the weather, the citizen queried: "So you think you would make an actor, eh?" "Yes, I kinder think so." was the reply. "What line would you take?" "Well, I kinder like tragedy." "Tragedy! Why, you couldn't succeed in tragedy! Look at your hands! Look at those feet! Kemeruber your voice! You'd be hissed off the stage. Don't never think of tragedy." "How woidd I do in a drama ?" asked the bov. "Not at all, in the first place your cars are too large. Then your heels stick out too far. Then your hands would hide half the otktir actors. Don t try the drama, for you will be a dead failure." "Could I do anything in comedy? "Not a thing. The sight of you in comedy would be the same as the sight of a hcarve on the stage. All the facial expression you have is behind your cars." Tve thought some of being a nigger minstrel," observed the bov, alter a long silence. "That's the worst of all. I tell you, boy, you'd better stick to the farm. You are Lot cut out for an actor, aud you should drop the idea." (.ouldn 1 1 act as usher?" "No, sir; you are too stiff in the knees." "Couldn't I take tickets?-' "Never! Your hands are too biir for that work." 'Couldn't I shift scenes?" 'No. You are too big and unwieldy." There was a lone and painful silence. Then the boy rose up and said: "ell. 1 111 bound to go into theatricals. If I can't be anything else I'll be the feller that stands at the door to raise a row, and I'll begin on you ! Come over here !" He hauled the adviser over the table. clutched him lv the small of the back and spun him around, slammed him against the wail and dropped him to gei a beiier hold. When the curtain rise on the next act there was a strictly private conversation going on between Hamlet and the Ghost, and the ghost's coat was ripped up the back and his collar tern open. Then Hamlet suddenly demanded in a loud voice: ,. "f ait'iir do you declare ttaTT cannot act?" and replied : 'No, I don't ! You are all right you are a splendid actor you can'l help but win I" "And vou'Il tell my father so?" "I wili you bet 1 will:" "If you don't !" Here Hamlet took three steps forward, two tack; scowled his fiercest, and the Ghost jumped behind the stove and vowed that he'd even pay 50 for a private box on ihe n'g'at of the dtlitif. "l is well !" said lian.'et, and he went over 0.1 the market to see if he could sell iLfee lrcks of onioa sets for cash down. Ihe Kraprpft Josephine. The Empress Josephine was allowed $l'Vt,ooo a year for her personal expenses, and ? !.i" for alms-giving. Her succes sor, tii-? Archducliess received only $72, tio1) for these purjvBes. The pretext of this difference was that Josephine had a gre&t many calis upon her purse from her poor relations. Josephine, it seems, would never tolerate order or etiquette in her pri vate aparmeuts. After she became Empress Napoleon insisted that she should have no personal dealings with shopkeepers, but he was forced to yield upon this point. Her private rooms were always full of shawl merchants, silk mercers, mantuaaiakera, haberdashers, jewelers and portrait paint ers. She hvl a mania for having her por trait taken, and gave the pictures to anylio dy who wanted them, relatives, friends, chamlicrmaids, even shopkeepers. The latter were always bringing diamonds, trinkets, shawls, stuffs, and gewgaws of every kind; she bought everything, never asking the pric?, and half the time forget ting what she had purchased. From the outset tne gave her ladii in waiting to understand that thr-y need not meddle with her wardrolie; everything connected wit-i that department was transacted in private by her, and her maids, of whstin there we-e six or cighL She rose at 9'clx-k; her toilet was a very prolonged performance, one pait being mysterious and involving div ers operations for the preservation and im provement of her complexion. When this work of art was finished, she had her hair dressed and her person enveloped in a long wrapper, lavishly trimmed with lace. We are informed that her chemises and petticoats were also elaborately embroider ed and trimmed. Mme. de Kcmnsat deems it pertinent to add the further detail that Josephine changed her chemise and all her linen thrice a day, and wore none but new stockings. After her hair was done, they brought her huge baskets containing quan tities of gowns, bonnets and sliawls. Of India shawls she had as niauy as three or four hundred she made gowns of them, or bed coverings, or cushions for her dog. She always wore one during the morning, ilraping it about her shoulders with a grace peculiar to herself. Bonaparte, who thought shawls hid her figure too much, would now and then tear them off and fling them into the fire. She bought, we are told, every Cashmere shawl the trades men brought her, at any price they chose to ask fl.6iK), or f2,0U0 or 2,400. Cash mere shawls were the fashion at the Court, and the humblest lady connected with the Imperial household would not condescend to wear one which cost let than (200. Josephine's mode of life seem to have been sufficiently monotonous, yet, although she n;ver opened a book or took up a pen, she showed no signs of fatigue. She bad no taste for the theatre, and the Emperor did not like ber to go without him, lest her ap pearance should provoke applause and give her a sort of personal popularity. She never walked for exercise except when at Malmaison, an abode she was forever em bellishing, and on which she squandered Immense sums. Her principal employ ment was looking over the huge accumu lations of gowns, frippery and ornaments in he.- wantrobes, for which really colossal magazines had to be assigned in each of the palaces. She could never prevail on her self to part with a single article of clothing, and tip to her last hour derived unquench able delight from examining, assorting, and trying on her finery. On the day of her death she had her maids array her in a dressing gown of extreme elegance, because she fancied the Emperor of Russia would, perhaps call to see her. She expired in rose colored satin. Notwithstanding her mania for dress, which might suggest a narrow aad exaggerated egotism, Jo sephine hail a generous nature. She evinced a singular zeal anil constancy in furthering the interests of her own kinsfolk, as well as those of her first huslmnd's relative. Too Much Inference. If you hand three pennies to the stamp clerk at the letroil poet-othce he infer. Uis inference is that you want a three-cent stamp anil he shoves one at you rather quicker than lightning. His inference holds good on two cents and a single penny and he hits it ninety.-nine times out of a hundred. He, however, c- left recently. A bulky, slow-moving old woman came in with a half a dozen things to mail, and her first move was to hand in a three cent piece. He retaliated with a green stamp, but she shoved it back with the remark : "Who said I wanted a three ? Give me three ones." She licked them on with great care and then handed iu three pennies. The clerk this time threw out three ones, but she re jected two of them with the indignant pro test: "What are yon trying to do? I want a two and a one!" In due time she had licked these on as well and then she handed in four cent. Thi clerk scratched his bead, hesitated, and threw out a three and a one. "See here, young man, you're gettiiig perfectly reckless !" she exclaimed, as she glanced at the stamps. "I want a stamped envelope for that money." She got it, and the clerk made np his mind that h. would catch her on the next sale or resign his p-sition. She posted several packages and then sauntered up and laid down a penny. That could only call for a penny stamp, and the young man chuckled, as he tore it off. "What arc you giving mc now ?" snap ped the woman, as she drew herself up. "A penny stamp." "Who asked for a penny stamp ?" "You put down a penny." "So I did ; but I was a penny short on Carrier No. 8 yesterday and 1 wanted you to hand it to hiin." For the next hour when any money was laid down thcclerk asked what was wanted A modern NotcL The Lady Alice sat in her bondoir, en rolled in a bright brocade of a jardiniere pattern. She was waiting for the appear ance of her lovtr, Aiiustuj Fitznoodlc, The bell rings. Lady Alice starts from her . chair, presses her hands to her heart, and murmurs. "Tis he. He comes, he comes." Mie would have said a eood deal more if her false teeth hadn't dropped downward, and compelled her to shut her mouth. The servant enters. He makes a bow, and says ; "A gentleman awaits your plea sure.'' Lady Alice, having stuck the teeth to her upper jaw with her brother Jim's last end of chewing gum, replies: "Let him enter." The door flies open, and a tall form ap pears. It rushes forward. Lady Alice shudders and gasps, "Tis not Augustus." The form lxws low and the lips speak : 'Fair lady, the fame of your beauty re sounds throughout the lum I. and I have traveled many miles and from distant countries to gaze upon your face and iiitonn your ladyship that 1 am aent for the best corn extractor, pimple cradle ator, and frec kle exterminator ever offered to the public, and at the low price of ten cents a box, three for a quarter, or sixteen for a dollar, and a beautiful chroma thrown in." It is needless to continue this tale. Au gustus appear and saves the Lady Alice, and in her delight the Lady Alice is willing to give herself to Augustus, but Augustus sarcastically replies that so good a deed as he has done doe:n't deserve to be punished in this manner, and the curtain falls. A Governor's Diplomacy. A good yarn :ind a true one is told of the Capt:iin of enj of the Sidney, Australia coasting steamers who had the honor of carrying as a pii-nenger one of the Colonial Governors who lately graced the opening of the Exhibition with his presence. The in cident happened some time since, however. There were few passengers. The weather was hot. No ladies were on lmaril, so the Governor applied to the Captain to be al lowed to use the ladies' saloon and cabin. At first he met with a point blank refusal. He then resorted to diplomacy, and under a strict promise that he would vacate the cabin w henever any ladies came on board, hc was permitted to jemovc to the coveted apartment.

The forme in contact with glass pnxluces a rough surface, as in ground glass, while the latter ordinarily leaves the surface clear. The gas is prepared by mix ing together finely powder, flourspar cal cium fluoride, three parts, and two parts of strong sulphuric aciil. in a shallow leaden dish, and applying a very gentle heat. The plates to be etched much may be placed over the dish. The op l ration should be conducted under a hood 01 in the open air, to avoid inhaling the pernicious fumes. The plates arc prepared by coaling them while warm with wax or paraffin, through which to the surface of the glass the designee cut with suitable gravers. In preparing the liquid acid the mixture of spar and oil of vitriol is placed in a leaden or platinum retort, which is heated, and the gas taken off is conducted into a leaden dish partly filled with water, which absorbs it. In contact with the flesh the aeid produce stubborn sores. The metals are usually etched with dilute nitric acid, or ntther and sulphuric acid, or sulphate of copper and alt, or hydrochloric, acid and chlorate of potaali.
