For throo month she ooAighod Incessantly, and could not sleep.

Where'er you go, what'er you do 'tis best to keep this rule In view don't bite off more than you can chew, and though your friends may be but few, tick to them always just like glue, as long as they will stick to you. To every obligation true, the just and righteous, to pursue, these are the things that you should do. Amanlng Cleverness of lllrris. There is sometliiiig very remarkable In the almost reasoning powers tnnni festnd occninuully by birds in eluding pursuit or iu tutuing attention from theit nests and young, but in few is thl more noticrnl to tlmn iu the duck tribe. In Cup'iiin Llnck's unrrntivo of his arctic hind rxptriitiou tho following iiiRtutien of this Is given: One of hi eompnuiou, Mr. King, having shot a fonuilo duck, fired again mid, us he thought, disabled its initio eoinnMiiou. At'cnrdiugly, bavins tho dead l.ircl, which he hud tho mortifica tion of Kpninn; shintly nftorwntd carried olT by ono of the white bended onglos, ho wiitlud Into the water after the drake, which, fur from being fluttered or alarmed, remained motionless, as if wailing to be taken np. Still, its he ueurcd it, it ulided easily nwny through itiiiunierabln littlo nnnk and windings. Severn I times bo reached out his hand to seize it, and, having at Inst with great patience managed to coop It np iu n corner, from which there appeared to in uo escapo, hu wan tiiumphaiitly bending d'ivu tn t:lte It when, to his ntter atnnilimeut, it looked atound at bint, cried "Qnnokl" and then flew away so strongly that he was convinced ho hud never hit it at all. The bird's object clearly wns to draw the gunner away from its companion. Fagmlaa as Sin OnVrlrr. Just as brewers and other evil men in England conciliate heaven hy erect ing churcliu ko the bold, bad, bloody hitmleil Buruiati makes it all right for the next existence by erecting pagodas. Iu proportion to the height of the pa goda bis heap of sin disappears. And as the Burmiiu, like tho ret of ns, looks after his own wants rather than those of his auceMors, he build a pagoda nil to himself, and allows hi' gmndfutucr's to topplo over. An uncle of the deposed king must have beeu round shouldered with the weight of his wrongdoings Anyway, at the foot of Mandulny hill a nice, breezy eminence, admi rable to give yon an appetitoand n pain in tho buck he built 720 pngoilu.i, though tho guides count wrong and n:y there, nro ouly 4S0. But perlmjn they mentiou tho smaller number put of regard for their monarch's nnclo, lint wishing to expose the real magnitude) of his sinfulness. The papndn ore all white, nud set Out in rows, and uuder each were what we pronounced to bo tombstones. Wo were wrong, for the inscriptions were not to the dear de parted, but coustitnted a complete copy of the law in the Pali tongue, Travel. Whan Welllncton Was Mad. The Czar Nicholas' visit to Windsor iu 1844 afforded Murray nn opportunity to be present at one of the few oooasions when tho Duke of Wellington lost oon trnl of himself. He did it at a review before the queen, her imperial guest, and the royal family, when, contrary to his orders, issued for the queen's con venience, tho guns were fired. The hero of a hundred fights stormed iu "a most violent inanuer. ' ' When the prince tried to puoify him by saying it was doubtless a mistake, be replied: "It Is very good of your royal highness to excuse it, but there should be uo mistakes. Military orders should be punctually obeyed, and so long as I command the army they shall be obeyed !" The emperor was astonish ed, and the suits looked at each other with blank faces, while the artillery was ordered off the maneuvering grouaxl. Cardinal Mannlng'e Humor. Dr. Manning bad a strong sense of humor and delighted in telling Irish stories, uun related to an Irish laborer. who was thus addressed by a pausing Augusomau: "What's that you're building. Pad dy?" 'Sliure an it's a oburrck, yer nonuer." "is It a Protestant church?" "No, yer hounor." "A Cutholiocaurch, inciiT '-iniiuno au it is tnat same, yer uouuer." "I'm very sorry to bear it, Pat." "So'm the devil, yer honner." The cardinal on one occasion arrived, in full merriment, though informing ills irJomls that he had beeu all vat run over, and he added: "If the accident bad beeu more effectual, my pitapU must have beeu: "Bad was but fate, it happened tbaay, He was run over by a bus." Westminster Gazette. Foxy Ways of the Jape. The first ten days that oue spends in Japan impress him with the idea that the people there are the best to be found anywhere. But little by little the conviction dawns that the bowing and scraping is all shammed and that the Japanese, are as unscrupulous as auy oue. They cannot be trusted to keep a contract that is not favorable to them. In all the large establishments, espe. cially in the hotels, one always find a Chinese as caibior. Beemiijgly the Jap anese are afraid to trust oue 'another. The women are quite different. They are faithful aud honest and have a lov able uuture. I have met a lurge num ber of foreigners who have married Japanese women aud they are all en thusiastic in their praise. Taoouia Ledger. .HU Urand Air. "Papa, I want a pug dog. They'a so 'rlstoorutio lookin." "Bobby, what do you mean by arlsto. cratio looking?" "W'y, they looks like they'd git bop pin mad if they bad tor git a'quointed with anybody. ' ' Brooklvn Life. Their Kismet. Provprb, like grammatical rules, are Jahln to exceptions. For instauco, the familiar saving, "Lightning does not tri!:e twice In tho smno plnee," hud its exeeption during the bombnrdment of Widin by the Russian batteries of Kaliifnt on tho opposite shore of tho Ditnnho. The incident is described by Dr. Rynu iu bis book, "Under tho P.nl Crescent," the Turkish equivalent for the Red Crnss society. The shell from the heavy siege guns It Knlnfiit wero dropping incessantly within the fortress. Ono of them as it pxplndcd tore a great hole iuthe ground largo enough to contain a horse. A Turkish woman, who was cowering with her three children under the shad ow of the wall, took refuge in the hnlo. According to the law of chances, it was the lutist likely spot to be iiguin hit by a shell. But scarcely hud she crept iu and drawn the three children after her when another shell, leaving the cannon's mouth nt Kalufat, nearly two miles away, dropped into tho same hole and blew mother and children to atoms, To the Turks the grim exception was a vivid illustration of their doctrine of kismet, or fnle. The woman's hour had come; kismet led her into that hole; it was tho place assigned for her departure from earth. Another shell struck the angle of n hnnse, torn down the walls nnd reduced one half of n room to ruins. Iu the oth er half of the room were a Turkish wo man and two children. They were not even hurt. Their kismet, according to Turkish ideas, saved them. Kinbraeed by a Devil Fish. A diver enguged in Moyne river iu Australia had a terrible experience with a sea devil. Having fired off a charge of ilynamito and displaced n lurge quantity of stones he went to the bottom of the river nnd while engaged iu rolling over a largo stone be suw something moving about iu front of him. This object quickly came iu con tact with him and coiled about his arm. The diver walked slowly aud painfully along with the sea devil's feelers twined about his body aud legs. He made tracks for the ladder and gained the boat, a curious looking object Indeed, with this huge ugly thing entangled about bis body. With tho help of the sailors bo was iu time fteed from his snbmnriue companion. The body of the octopus was ouly about the size of a largo Roup plato, with ryes lilio a sheep's, but it posseMed nine arms, each four feet iu length, at the butt as thick as a man's wrist and tapering off at the end like a penknife. All ulong the under part of the feelers of this strange ret oreuure are suckers every quarter of au iucb, giving it immense power. A Policeman. The Golden Penny tells au amusing stoiy somo readers may think It im probable concerning the examination of a young man who desired to be np ' pointed it membut of the Hampshire oounly (Kngliiud) police. Hu putiu uuappeatnnce one morning, accompanied by his mother and was taken in hand for examination by the inspector. This progressed satisfactorily until tho inspector observed: "Of oourse you're aware you'll have a lot of ninht work to do? You are not afraid of being out late, I suppose?" Before the candidate could reply bis mother electrified the amazed official with the statement: "That'll be all right, sir. His grand mother's gelng round with him the II rut two or three nights uutil he gets used to It!" Matrimonial Exports. In the early days of Virginia, when the adventurers were luiwtly unmarried men, it wan deemed noccsBury to export huuu woiiicu as could be prevailed upon to leave England as wives for the plant ers. A letter aooonipanying one of the matrimonial ships, dated London, Aug, 13, KI21, auys: "We send you in the ship a widow aud 11 maids ai wives for the peoplo or Virginia.
