Right or Left.

We were told few days since the fol-
lowing piece of "skinning" as ii was cal.
led, and which is rather TOO good TO be
lost, showing az the same time the des-
perate straits certain class of gentlemen
are put 10 in making raise. A we'll
known case, who was hard up for money,
meeting brother chip in the street, told
him if he would walk across the street,
go into the front door of the hotel oppo-
site, and in walking in be very lame in
his right leg, but come out in few mo-
ments and be lame in the left leg, he void
make it all right with him some time
Without asking why or wherefore, the
fellow did as was requested, andthe skin
ner going up to gentleman, remarked to
him how lame that man was in the left
leg, who was just going into the hotel.--
The gentleman said he was not lame in
his left leg, which the other insisted was
so. But to settle the matter, the skinner
Immediately proposed bet of ten dol
lars that the man was lame in the left leg,
which the gentleman accordingly took
The money was posted, and in few mo-
ments the man came out SO desperately
lame in the left leg that he could scarcely
get down the steps of the hotel, and Of
course the money was lost by the gentle-
man, who could scarcely believe his own
eyes, for although the man came out lame
in his lett, he was perfectly certain he
went in lame in the right leg, but at the
same time he never imagined there was
any collision between the parties. We
have heard of many ways to make a raise,
but this goes a little ahead Of all.-.dlba-
M Knickerbocker.

VICTORIA AND THE. SABBATH

The following interesting anecdote of
Queen Victoria was originally published
in the Court Journal. 1t is probably
true; and ifso, is highly honorable TO her:
A noble lord, not particularly remarka-
BILE for his observance Of the holy ord
uances, arrived at Windsor late on Satur-
day night.
Il have brought down for your Msjesty's
Inspection" he said, some papers of i'm.
portance, but as they must be gone into
at length, will not trouble your Majesty
with them 10 night-but request your al
tention tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morningr repeated the
Queen, 'to morrow is Sunday, my Lord'
But business of state, please your Maj
esty!
Must be attended to, | know replied
the Queen; 'and as, of course, you could
not come down earlier to night, | will, if
those papers are Of such vital importance,
attend to them after we come from church
to morrow morning
To church went the royal party, TO
church went the noble lord and much to
his surprise the sermon was on 'the dui-
les of the Sabbath y
How did your lordship like the ser.
mon! inquired the Queen.
very much, your Majesty replied the
nobleman, with the best grace he could.
4 will not conceal from YOU said the
Queen, 'that last night sent the clergy
man the text from which he preached. I
hope we shall all be the better for it,
The day passed without single word
'on the subject of the paper of impor-
tance-which must be gone into at length
His lordship was--as he always is
graceful and entertaining, and at night,
when her Majesty was about to Withdraw,
TO morrow morning, my Lord, she said,
sat any hour you please-as early as
seven if you like-we shall go into those
papers,
His lOrdShip could not think of intru-
ding at so early an hour on her Majesty
-'nine would be quite time enough.
AS they are Of Importance said the
Queen, 'as they are Of importance, my
Lord, would have attended to them ear
lier, but at nine be it,
And at nine her Majesty was seated,
ready 10 receive the nobleman, who had
been taught lesson on the duties of the
Sabbath, it is hoped he will not quickly
forget.

Home Politeness.

Why not be polite how much does it
cost to say Il thank you!' Why not
practice it at home to your husband p!
10 your domestcs If stranger does
you some little act of courtesy, how sweet
the smiling acknowledgment! If your
husband, ah it is matter of course no
need of thanks.
Should an acquaintance tread on your
dress, your best, very best, how prQiuse
are you with your never minds, don't
think of it, don't care at all ) if hus-
band does it, he gets Grown; if a child,
it is chastised.
'Ah ! these are little things say you.
They tell nightly upon the heart, let me
assure you, little as they are.
A gentleman stops at a friends house,
and finds it in confusion. He don't see
anything to apologize for-never think of
such matters. Everything is all right
cold supper, cold room, crying children
perfectly comfortable. Goes home, where
the wife has been taking care of the sick
ones and working her life almost out.
Don't see why things can't be kept in
order-there never were such cross chill
dren before. No apologies accepted at
home.
Why not be polite at home Why not
use freely that golden coin Of courtesy
How sweetly they sound, those little
words, Il thank you,' or you are very
kind Doubly, yes, thrice sweet from

LIGHT SUPPER.-One Of the great Sc
crets of health is light supper; and yet ii
is great self denial, when one is hungry
and tired at the close of the day, to eat
little or nothing, Let such an one take
leisurely a cup of tea, piece of cold
bread with butter, and he will leave the
table as fully pleased with himself and all
the world as ifhe had eaten heavy sup
per. Take any two men under similar
circumstances, strong, hard-working men,
of twenty five years; let one take his
bread and butter, with cup Of tea, and
the ordinary ct ceieras, as the last meal oI
the day, and let the other eat heartily oi
whatever may tempt his appetite, and we
will venture to affirm that the tea drink
er will ouIlve the other by thirty years.
