A Good Counting Story.

That was good courting anecdote our
old friend b. used to tell The thing hap
pencd many years ago, about the time the
Conneetie.t system Of doing such things
gave way to the modern system. The OBJ
ject Of the affections of B. was blessed In
having an old codger of father, watehful
as an Argus, and Jealous as Turk, and
withal deadly hater Of b. 1t was one
cold night in winter romanticaliy clan
destine meeting WAS arranged. 1t was to
take place in tn, very chamber of the
damsel, which besides being dormitorJ
was sort of business Office for the old
gent. AS matter Of course fire and ligh'
were out of the question, as being instru
neuts to interrupt the course Of true love,
which never did run smooth. The walls
we're full of cracks and holes, and the frosty
air bit shrewdly but never Jot did the
lovers mind it. But presently to their
dismay a step was heard on the stairs. OF
course ID. must Dt eH, duu uio Suai hioh
must be asleep; so one goes under the bed
while the ether takes more comfortable
place above. The old man entered and to
the dismay of b. sat down to posting up
his accounts. Perfectly insensible to the
cold, he kept Oh. The clock struck twelve
and one and there was no sign of leaving
b. had become perfectly benumbed, and
the only sign of muscular action was the
castanct-like cha.tering Of his teeth. Pre-
sently the old man got up. Was he GO
ing? No; hut he felt the cold. He light
ed few shayings, and sat down to his
compound interest No heat radiated to
B. and the fame was tantalizatiOn. A
gentle snorc from above convinced hin
that the third party was oblivious to hi
situation. The clock struck tbree-th,
flame had gene oat, and by the light of th
enbers b. saw the old man depart. al

touching narrative, Jerusalem didn't J
str.ddle those andirons p 1t is useles,
to add that the arrangement was broker
up. Our friend to this day feels COLI
chill at the recollection Of it.

POCKET SPIRIT LEVEL.

SHERMAN'S POCKET SPIRIT LEVEL AND PLUxB
hTTdCHAEHT TO SQCAEE
HNHIS Level may be used in connection with
steel or other true square as Leveling
and Plumbing Instrument. the base line being
the level or horizontal line-the upright edge
Of the square being the plumb or perpendicu-
lar line.

adapted to every and any use that the common
form Of Level is serviceable in, and is far Su-
perior in regard TO accurateness, cOmpactness
aud durability to any other in use, and rs less
than half the price. It may be detached from
the square and used separately as a level or
carried in the pocket, not taking up more room
than a common pocket knife, thereby obviafing
the necessity of carrying about the cumbersome
article now in use. The Bubbles used in these
instruments are warranted not to evaporaie or
