"Who said got it," asked Myra, in
her turn for questioning. l never got

piled for the purpose and no barber's shop
had in its keeping what is here in this

"Come, Myra. do tell me the secret-i

"No, Christie, that won't do-men don't
die so easily from curiosity as you would
have me to believe" merrily replied
Myra.
"But now do be frank and tell me the
WHOLE" urgently asked Christie.
Swell, will CRAFTY you, that you may
know there are more ways than one for
us ladies to get what we want,' replied
Myra. "One day was ct your mothers
and very privately asked your sister Nell
to do little favor for me-to GO into your
room every day after you left for the coun-
ting-room, and comb cut for me, from your
brush, every silken thread she could find,
and save for me till l shonld get enough
for my purpose. Last week that was &C.
compIished, and no one can tell my
pleasure when the ring came home this
afternoon. Never was a rosy crown
placed on the head of May Queen with
more delight than slipped that ring on its
appointed finger, and the bliss of my tri-
umph hasmade me the happiest of hearts
in this company tonight. Now what do
you think Of woman's wit against mans
cunning ?" a9

''and like the ring Of your story as well
as love your music, aud l hope"
What he would have said was cut of

spirits even more lively than befere the

1t was not many weeks after the above
evening before Christie and Myra was mar
ried. Whatever were the presents which
took place among the bridal gifts, none
out.charmed to the eye of Myra her "Hair
Ring;" and she delights from time to time
to tell the story Of her triumph-always
sure to recount what a brush she had in
order to obtain the victory.

The EfFECr.-At a late anniversary
of Yale College, Professor Stiliman was
called out by a complimentary toast. In
the course Of his remarks, the Professor
proceeded for the benefit of the younger
brothers present, to say how it was that
at his age, &c years, he enjoyed such e1.
cellent health and spirits. He said that
at the age Of thirty he was dyspeptic and
feeble. He cut off determinedly all stim-
uIants, and had used none since. He di.
e,ed one year, and then returned to his
labor. He ate always plain, nutricious
food, and drank nothing but plain, dilutent
drinks. He eschewed tobacco in every
form. Every morning he used the sponge
and cold water, and felt now no less pow
Ter Of endurance than when he was .
young man, and no abatement Of intellect
