NoN-3UITING A CREDITOR.

ID There was certain lawyer on the
Cape. sometime ago, the only one in those
'diggins" then, and for aught know, at
present. He was man well to do in
the world, and what was somewhat sur
!. prising in a limb of law, averse to en-
couraging litigation.
One day client came to him in most
terrible rage
Look here, Squire, said he, ''that ere
blasted shoemaker down to Pigeon Cove,
has gone and sued me for the money for a
pair of boots owed him."
''Did the boots suit you z"
ooh. yes-I'ye got them on now
first rate boots"
"Fair price?
''Oh yes"
Then you owe him the money honest
1y2"
Course"
"Well, why don't you pay him 2"
'Why," cause the blasted snob went
and sued me, and / want to keep him
out OF the money, if / kim"
1t will cost you something"
, 81 don't care cuss for that. How
much money do you want to begin with
''Oh, ten dollars will do"
g Is that alll Well, here is an Y, so
go ahead" and the client went out very
well satisfied with the beginning.
Our lawyer next called on the shoe
maker and asked him what he meant by
instituting legal proceedings against NJ.
"Why," said he, Il kept on sending
to him till l got tired. knew he was
able to pay-and was determined to
make him: that's the long and short
of it."
"Well," said the Law yer, "he's always
been good customer to you, and think
you acted too hastily. There's trifle
to pay on account of your proceedings
but l think you'd better take this five
and call it square.
Certain, Squire, if you say so, and
darned glad to get it, was the answer.
So the lawyer forked over one V, and
kept the ether.
In few days his client came along and
asked how he got along with the case.
Rapidly" said the lawyer Twelve
non-s,nted him he'll never trouble you. :"
Jerusalem that's great % cried the
client, I" I'd rather gin fifty dollars than
have him got the money for them boots!"-

An Oriental Bath in Alexandria.

In sort of basement hall, smelling of fsoap-suds,
and with large tank of dirty water in the CEN
tre, we were received by the bath-keeper, who
showed us into room containing three low di-
vans with pillows. Here we disrobed, and lbra-
him, who had procured quantity of napkins, en-
yeloped our heads in turbans and swathed our
lons in a simple Adamite garment Heavy
wooden cors were attached TO our feet, and an an
mated bronze statue led the way through gloomy
passages Sometimes holland steamy, sometimes
cold and soapy. and redolent of any thing but the
spicyodors of Araby the Blest, to small vauited
chamber lighted by few apertures in the ceiling
The moist heat was almost sutlocatng; hot wa
ter flowed over the stone floor and the stone bench
es we sat upon were somewhat cooler than kltch-
en- stoves. The bronze individual left US, and
very srOn, sweating at every pore, we began to
think of the three Hebrews in the furnace. Our
comfort was not increased by the groanlng sound
which we still heard, and by seeing, through a
hole in the door, five or six naked figures lying
motionless along the edge of steaming vat, In the
outer room.
presently our statue returned with pair oil
coarse hair gloves on his hands. He snatched OIL
our turbans, and then seizng one OF my friends oy
the shoulder as if he had been a sheep, began a
sort of rasping operation on his back. This pro
cess, varied occasionally by dash fscaldng wa,
ter, was extended to each of our three bodies, and
we were then suffered to rest awhile. A course
of soap-suds followed, which was softer and more
pleasant in its effect, except when he took us by
the hair and holding back our heads, scrubbed
our faces most Justify, as if there were no such
things as eyes, noses and mouths. By this time
we had reached such salamandine temperature
that the final operation Of dozen pallfuls of moi
water poured over the head was really delightful
After a plunge in seething tank, we were Leo
back to our chamber and enveloped in loose mus
lin robes. Turbans were bound on our heads ,anc
we lay on the divans TO recover from the langol
of the bath. The change produced by our ne"
costume was astonishing. The Stout German be-
came Turkish Mollah, the Young Smyrnlote
picturesqe Persian, and IL scarcely know what
but, as my friends assured me, much better Mos
lem than Frank Cups Of black coffee, and pipe:
of inferior tobacco, completed the process; and, ii
spite of the lack of cleanliness and supernbundanct
of fieas we went forth lighter in body, and fillet
with calm content which nothing seemed able
to disturb" "-BayGrd Iay|Or's Journey 10 Cen

The Social CHARACTER OF INDusTRY.-in
duslry is essentially social. No man can improve
either himself or his neghbor without neIghooriy
belp. and to better the world, is to set the world
to work together. Every useful invention has
been carried out and perfected by the cooperation
of many minds, or by the successive applications
of varied genius to the same object age after age.
The mechanic must aid the philosopher, or ne
must stand still in his demonstrations; and the
philosopher dls must aid the mechanic, or @ he will
work and work without wisdom. The astrono-
mer needs the telescope, and The chemist his ma
terial teri and apparatus. The sciences hang on the the,
arts and the arts on the sciences. But without
the philosophy from heaven, neither art nor sci
ence would look off the earth, and industry would
die natural death and rise no more; Tor religion
alone is the living spirit OF human socially and
mower.

For once she kept her word, and was released

of none of which, by her own confession, she stood
in need, could not help recurring 10 me, and de-

ANEcporE.-Recently on a Sunday, during
the high mass at twelve, in the village Of Glen
tariff. ireland, three ladies of the Protestant faith
were obliged to take shelter from heavy shower.
The officiating priest, knowing who they were,
and wishing to appear respectful to them, s,Oop-
ed down to his attendant, who was on his knees,
and whispered TO him, Three chairs for the
Protestant ladies'" The clerk, who was rather
an ignorant man, stood up and shouted to the con-
presation. "Three cheers for the Protestant la
dies !" which the congregation Immediately took
up, and gave three hearty cheers, while the cler-
qyman stood dumb-founded.

A New KIND OF DEMocRATs.-We thought
that the eight Conventions in New York had ex-
hausted the political nomenclature this side of
the Rocky Mountains, and left only the Rose
Water and the Bone and Suew to be imported
but in New York they have faction styled Prac-
tical Democrats. If this means, as the ordinary
import of the words would imply, men who prac-
tice what they profess, Barnum will have one of
them, "without regard to expense" Until he
does we shall exercise the privilege of doubling.

serve the name of curioslies by the side of a

"MANY THINGS IN Few WoRps."-A poor
bachelor never looks so pitiable as when he is
looking out his linen to send in the wash. A vi
olin is an instrument that tortures many for the
enjoyment of One None but Frenchwonan
knows how to put on shawl. A lawyers car
rage is only blue bag on wheels. A woman's
age is problem of which moi Archimedes has ey-
er vet cried out Eureka" Puseyism is a kind
of sandwich taken between Professionalism and Ro-
man Catholicism. Every dramatist fancies all
his Geese are Swans of Avon. With cabman
(snce the Fitzroy Act) most all roads lead to tho
police court. The balance of Europe is mostly in
Rothschilds' hands. Shopping is woman's only
consolation when she has no money to SPEND
Drunkenness is dead wall with a row Of broken
bottles at the top. Repentance must travel, al
ways by an express train, for it so repeatedly ar
riyes too ate.-Punch.
