HE COTT A G e
BY MRS. L. II. siGOCfNsY.

There was a laboring man who built a
cottage for himself aud wife. A dark
grey rock overhung it, and helped to keep
it from the winds.
When The Gotta ,e was finished, he thot
he would paint i, grey, like the rock. And
so exactly did he get the same shade OF
color, that it looked almost as if the little
dwelling sprang from the bosom of the
rock that sheltered it.
After while The co,,ager became able
to purchase COW. In the summer she
picked up most Of her living very well.
But in winter she needed 10 he fed aud kept
from the cold.
So he built barn for her. 1t was so
small, that it looked more like shed than
barn. Bu, it was quite warm and COM
Portable.
When it was done, neighbor came in
and said
"What color vii! you paint your barn :"
81 had no, thought about that" said the
cot,ager.
Then advise you by all means, TO
paint il black; and here is a pot OF black
paint, which I have brought on purpose 10
give YOU"
Soon another neighbor coming in,PraSed
his neat shed, and expressed wish TO help
him little about the building. White
is by far the most gen'eel COLOR" he added,
.' and here is pot Of white paint, Of which
make you present.
While he was in doubt which of the
Gifts 10 use, the eldest and wsest man
in the village came to yisi: him. His hair
was entirely white, and every body loved
him, for he was good as we'll as wise.
When the co,tager had told hun the s,o-
ry of The pots Of paint, the old man said,
" ne who gave you the black, is one who
disllkes YOU and wishes you 10 do foolish
thing. He who gave you the white paint,
IS a partial friend, and desires you TO make
more show than is wise. Neither of their
opinions should you follow. If the shed
is either black OF white, il will disagree
with The color of your house. Moreover,
the black will draw the sun, and cause the
edges Of The board. 10 curl aud split and
lhe white will look well but for a little
while, and then become seied, and then
need painting anew. Now take my advice
and mix the black and white together"
So the collager poured one pot into the
other, and mixed them up with his brushes
and it made the very grey color which
he liked and used before upon his house.
He had in one corner oi his small piece
Of ground hop-vine. lie carefully gath
cred the ripened hops. and his wife made
beer of them, which refreshed him when
he was warm and weary.
1t had always twined on two poles,
which he had fastened IN the earth TO give
it support. But the cO..ager WAS fond OF
building-and he made little arbor for j,
to run upon and cluster shout.

An Obstinate Passenger.

lhe StOckhO derS oil one Oh tne faiI1oduS
terminating in Boston, held meeting not
long since, and. as usual, extra cars were
provided and free passes sent to all the
holders OF shares. When the train started
on its way to, the city, the conductor passed
through the cars TO see il everything vas
right. He found among the passengers 4
shabbily dressed man apparently about
fifty years Of age, whose appearance was
proc: positive tha, he had no: very recently
patronized barber, or paid much alien
lion TO his toilet. He had on tarpaulin
hat, thick and dirty boots, and suit Of
clothes that never came from Oak Hall.
Notwithstanding his uncouih looks, he had
taken seat in one Of the most elegantly
finished cars, in the midst OF merchants.
lawyers, doctors, s,manufacturers,a ,and others.
" gentlemen OF property and standlng.
,hongh he kept his own counsels, and
"sa nothing to nobody" The conduc'
tor scru,inized the plebeian rather sharply,
aud knowing that many stockholders were
present, he thought he must show them a
specimen OF his regard for the comfort and
pleasure OF his passengers, especially those
Of the b" first GLASS;"
He therefore took occasion TO speak TO
the man with the ,arpaulIn hat:
"You have probably made a mistake,
sir this car is for the stockholders; you
can fiud accommodations in one o! the for
ward cars"
al am satisfied with this car" was the
cool reply.
Well, you can, remain here. if you
are," said the conductor, with an air OF
authority.
perhaps / can there is room enough
here, and don't think shall move"
"You don't, Ell, Well now tell you,
you shall move, and tina, very quick. too.
win you 60 peaceabiy, or shall put you
out"
shan't g", anyhow"
Thereupon the conductor seized the re-
factory man by the collar. and vainly en-
deavored to eject him from the car. The
task was too grea, for him; indeed, he did
no, try very hard, Tor his antag g"nls, was
large and strong man, whom he could
not handle. Conscious Of his inability to
enforce the order. without calling for as
sislance. the conductor felt very anxious to
compromise the matter. But he had d
stubborn customer 10 deal with, whose COOL
ness and sell possession gave him great
advantage. The cars now stopped at
way-s,ation to take in more passengers,
and the conductors presence was required
elsewhere. He seemed glad Of an excuse
for reIinquishing the a,,emp, 10 remove
the obnoxious passenger. and The stock
holders who had witnessed the encounter
also rejoiced to see it terminated. as they
had suffered no inconvenience from occu.
pying seats near the tarpaulin hat.
Al length the conductor passed through
the cars 10 coilest the tickets. The stock
holders showed their passes and wen, free

IN 81 Ass1sEED FOR RATs-It is a well
,,oo,pn fact that rats entertain an irresistible
fondness for annisseed. A gentleman of the
name of Bayly residing on the Hampstead road
had occasion, a short time since, to take a small
bottle of essential oil of annisseed from a cup
hoard in his kitchen, which he accidentally let
fall, and the bottle was broken and tee con
tents escaped upon the floor. Beforet his ac-
ciaeut not a rat had for w years been seen
upon the premises, but in day or two after
wards they made their appearance; and at this
time swarm to SO great an extent that every e-
fort to exterminate them has hitherto proved
unavailing.

A Krss.-A kiss is thus defined in a letter
written Il: the year 1878, and translated from
the German. We publish it especially for the
ladies':
What is a kiss! A kiss is as it were a seal
expressing our sincere attachment; the pledge
Of union; but at the same time audible language
Of q loving heart; a present, which at the time
it is given takes from us the impression OF an
ivory coral press; a crimson balsam for goun-
ded heart; a sweet bite of the lips; au affection
ate pinching of the mouth; a deliciod0 9aish
which is eaten with scarlet spoons; a sweat
meat which does not satisfy ona's hunger
fruit which is planted and gathered at the same
time; the quickest exchange OF questions and
answers of two lovers-the fourth degrees OF
love"
