island. She watched for long time
but saw nothing. She returned 10 the
place, withdrew the line--and there wal
the letter!
This time an answer was requested
II was, perhaps, premature, yet the auda
ci.us request obtained full success.
The reply was written after some hesita'
.ioD, and the hook dropped into the
stream charged with letter which was
intended To say nothing, and affected q
sort Of badlnage, which was nevertheless
a bulletin Of victory gained over the
harsh severity Of a woman unit! then un'
approachable.
Nine. D had too much Bhrewd-
mesa not TO guess that her mysterious
correspondent employed, instead Of mus
sic, The art Of skillful diver Scruples
easily understood, restrained her from
that portion Of The bank where she was
suie that the diver would emerge from
the water.
But this game Of letters amused her.
First /, pleasd her intellect, and then her
heart was interested; finally her feelings,
and her curiosity became so lively that
she wrote:
"Le, us give up this jesting, which has
pleased me for Tho moment, but which
should continue no longer. aud como with
your apologies TO Chaton."
The lover anawared:
"Yes, il you will add: Hope"
The inexorable lady replied:
"lf only a word is necessary to decide
you, DO il SOL"
And the word was written.
The young man appeared, and wss no,
user. The gift Of pleasing belonged
TO his person as much as 10 bis style, and
he had made such rapid progress under
water that il was easy 10 complete bis
conquest on land.
Thus Nine. D---cSnght a husband
wiihou, wishing /, and in spite the vow
which she had taken never 10 re>marry.
Holding the line, she had been caught

JUDICIAL DECISION ON 4 BAs Drsssa

JUDICIAL DECISION ON A KAn DINNER.
Thu late Judge Dooly, Of GeoEgis,
was remarkably for his wit:
"At one place where he attended court
he was no, we'll pleased with his enter
tainment at the tavern. On the first day
Of tho court hog, under the name Of a
pig, had been cooked whole and laid up>
on the table. No person attacked il.
II was brought the next day end
treated with the same respect: and
il was on the table on the day on which
the court adjourned. As the boardess
finished their dinuos Judge Dooly rose
from the table. and in solemn manner
addressed the clerk. "Mr. Clerk" said
he, "dismiss the hog upon his recogni.
zance until the firsi day Of next court.
He has attended so faithfully during the
present term that dom, think it will be
necessary 10 take any security"

THE LIFETIME OF MAN.

When the world was created, and Al
creatures assembled TO have their Iilaum,
appointed, lhe ass first advanced an,
asked how long he would have 10 liye2
"Thiriy years." replied Nature; "wil
that be agreeable 10 thee?"
"Alas!" answered the ass, ait is a lon,
while. Remember wha, wearisom,
existence will be mine; from morning
until night l shall have to bear heavJ
burdens, dragging corn sacks TO the mill
that others may cat bread, while sbal
have no encouragement, nor be refreshed
by anything, bu, blows and kicks, give
but portion Of that time ] pray!"
Nature was moved with compassion
and presented but eighteen years. The
ass went away comforted, and the dog
came forward.
"How long doss thou require 10 live p
asked Nature. "Thiriy yeurs were too
many for the ass, bu. wilt thou be con-
tented with lhem?'
"Is il thy will tha, ! should" replied
the dog.
"Think how much shall have 10 run
about; my feet will no, last for so long
a time, and when shall have los, my
voice for barking, and ny teeth for bling,
what else shall / be fl for but 10 lio in
the correr and growli' Nature thought
he was right, aud gave twelve years."
The apo then appeared.
''Thou wilt doubtless, willingly live
the Thirty years." said Nature; "thou wilt
not have TO labor as the ass and the dog.
Life will be pleasant 10 thee"
"Ah mo-" cried he, $50 I, may seem
10 others, bu. il will not be! Should
puddings ever rain down, l shall excite
laughter by my grimaccs. and then be
rewarded with sour apple. How often
sorrow lies concealed behind jest! !
shall not be able 10 endure for thirty
years."
Nature was gracious, and he received
bu. ten.
Al last came man, healthy and strong /,
and asked the measure Of biz days.
"Will thirty years content ihee?'
SHOW short iime!" exclaimed man.
"When | shall have buils my house and
kindled fire on my own heanh-when
the trees | shall have planted are abou,
to bloom and bear frui,--when life shall
seem to me most desirable, I shall die.
0 Nature grant me longer period"
"Thou shalt have the eighteen years
OF the ass besides"
''FhaE is not enough" replied Insn.
"Tske likewise the twelve years Of the
dog"
at is not ret sufficient" reiterated
man; "give me more"
81 give thee, then, tho een yoars nf
the spe; in vain wilt thou claim MORE"
Man departed unsaiis6ed.
Thus man lives seventy years. The
frss thirty are bis human years, and pass
swiftly by. He 10 then healthy and hsp>
py. lie labors cheerfully, and reioices
in bis existence. The eighteen OF the
ass come next, burden upon burden is
heaped upon him, he carries the corn that
is 10 fesd others; blows and kicks are the
rewards Of his faithful service. The
twelve years Of the dog follow, and be
loses his teeth, and lies down in the
corner and growls. When these are
gone. the apes ten years form the con-
clusion. Then man, weak and silly, be-
comes the sport Of children Translated
from the German.
