LUpIcRoUs MIsTAKh.-One of our Fifth street
merchants, determining TO have good time last
Sunday, rode into :he country in buggy, dna at
ter making pretty extensive tour returtied to the
city little after dinner time. The ride had been
quite warm, and he had cooled off with mint ju-
eps and brandy smashes so often that he was rath-
er mellow. Depositlng the horse and buggy IN
the stable, he went 10 the store to take nap be-
fore going home to the family. When he wokej
little before siise,y lie spfany from the cotnter,
and fancying, from the cfowds OF persons passing
the door, that he had slept till Monday morning,
he went to work, opened the store; took down the
shutters. swept out, and put out abundant samples
of merchandise on the sidewalk, all the time won
dering at the tardiness of the clerks.
Passing church gocrs were thunder struck at
such open proclamation of the Sabbath, but their
stopping in front Of his store was attributed by the
unlucky merchant to the admiration Of his stock /;
but. after an hour or two. he began to think like
the old Scotch woman similarly situated, that sit
was an uncommon thing-the sun rising in the
west )" and getting hint of the state of the case
from a religious neighbor, he hastily took in his
goods, shut his stofe, and left for home, where he
did not say word about his mistake.-- Gin. Com.

H5- The following incident is translated from the
French The widow Bichard is an old lady
badly addicted to making bulls, and IS OF piece
with the good woman who poured out the coffee
to feast upon the grounds 1t wasa blunder some
thing of this character she has just committed, fol
which she has come to answer at the polce-olllce
The cause of the hubbub had occurred in one Of
the city post-oflices of Paris, where clerk, whose
duty it was to attend to prepaid letters, was sud-
denly accosted by a woman who rushed IN IN great
trepidation. This woman was the Widow Blch-
ard Sir she exclaimed, addressing the clerk
in voice tremulous with anger, 'how does 1t hap
pen, | should like to know, that when cne has
prepaid the postage On letter, the person to whom
it is sent is made to pay for it again ?'-'Eow it
happens, MADAME cried The clerk why, it don't
happen at all'-'Well, say it does happen, and
what's more, that it happened to-day there y
And tell you again, madam. that 1t is linpossl-
BILE that it should be so.'-'But it is person OF
my acquaintance to whom wrote yesterday, and
whose letter prepaid, who says she had to pay
for il. too. She was furious about 1t, and don't
wonder she was; for wrote to her concerning my
own affairs, and she had TO pay the postage. It's
robbery, say! And llereupon the widow kick
ed up such rumpus that it was found necessary
to cali in policeman and take her before mag
istrate. Instead of paciiying Madam Blchard,
this proceeding nearly threw her into the last de-
gree of evaporation. Although the officer re-
quested her to assume Proper line OF conduct, the
widow persisted in her fury, and stamped and
screamed most uproariously. TO be told, too,
that don't know what have done with 1t 2 she
cried. Done with whatP inquired the magls-
trate. The receipt answered the widow; the
receipt which proves that prepaid the letter.
Sosayine, she umbled in all her pockets. There.
she exclaimed suddenly, I'ye got it here 1t is /?
And she exhibited triumphantly to the magistrate
what can you imagine it was?-a postage
stamp! The poor lady had taken it as receipt
for the money she had paid to the clerk. and had
treasured it sacredy instead Of pasing it upon the
letter! The blunder was duly explained 10 her,
amid roars of laughter from tile spectators. She
promptly acknowledged her fault, and regretting
she had given way to her anger, begged the court
to deal lenisntly with her. She pleaded her ig-
norance as the cause of the sorming and abuse of
which she stood convicted. The court took the
culprit's general good conduct into consideration,
as well as her contrition, and fined her sixteen
francs only"

A MIRACLE OF ART-There is on exhibition
in Paris one of the most remarkable pieces Of mas
terwork which the union Of art and science has
ever produced. 1t consists Of picture of about
three feet square. This picture is made up Of COL
Ors admirable for their beauty and holiness, but
there is no subject. The most experienced eye
can detect nothing but disjointed and haflormed
approximations towards coherent design. Ths
most able artist sees there only the finest coors,
but no one can tell wbat they are intended to rep
resent. In the middle of the picture, which is
horizontally placed, is mirror formed BY cop
per cylinder covered by perfectly polished coal
ing of silver. This mirror is usually yelled SO
far there is little remarkable, and the creates, am
ateurs in painting would hardly consent to spend
five francs on such an apparently ptofitless study.
But tits impossible not to feel glow Of admiration
when, on uncovering the mirror, then is pressn-
ted upon it, in the brightest reflected rays, tho
whole scene of the Crucifxion. The partial col
oring then takes character Of incontestble supe-
riority, and presents TO the astoDshed spectators
picture composed OF six most perfect figures, de-
pcted with degree of boldness such as the mas.
ter painters alone knew how to impar to the sub
ject which it was their glory to Representatives.
