DIsraeli tells us of asepleman who. having
Grafton to deliver for the first time in his life ON
certGin day was accustomed to reherse it in a
cabbage garden, addressing the plants as though
they were an audience. Unfortunately he thus ac-
qured the habit of identifying certain cabbage with
certain points Of his speech, and when he came 10
deliver his oration 10 bona ide assembly he could
not get out word, and found himsefmost ignom-
vegetable. Blushing and bowling, he at length
exclaimed: SGeniemen-I beg pardon-rideo ut
caHtes non estis-I see that you are not cabages,"
and made his escape. e

Posoerful Style Of WrIing-Some Yankee
editor, from away down East being on sum-s
mer jaunt through the west is writing home
accounts of the country, to enIig hten the good
people of Massachusetts. Witness the follow
ing explosion Of concentrated bile:
Erie, p, is God forsaken looking place, the
men look like bulldogs aud the women like
furies. The boys and girls are ragged, dirty
and saucy set, and run in the streets with the
gigs and the geese. Cleveland is drtier, and
more filed up with foreigners than expected
to find it. Busines appears to be overdone and
the place is cursed with superiuity oflawyers
and doctors. The lower part of Toledo is filled
up with low Dutch beer shops and hogs; every
man you meet looks as if he had%been picked
in lager beer, then smoked for bacon. Chica,

How easy it is 10 say a billion-to write a
billion-but can you count billion! Why not!
Stop Bit Suppose you can count 400 in
one minute, that is $4,000 in one hour; that is
5000 in one day; and l05,l2o,0o0 in one
year. But this would not allow single mo-
ment for sleep or for any other business whats
ever To count billion it would require g..
5l2 years, 80 days hours and 90 minutes &C.
cording to the above reckoning; but suppose
we were to allow the counter twelve hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping, it would
then take l9,024 years, So days, 10 hours and
40 minutes to count billion.

A package Of old love letters recently brought
a man $4,000 in Bristol, England. His first
flame married another man, and he himself
also married, but retained the letters of his
first love, against an occasional remonstrance
of his wife. After some years, the writer of
the letters died widow, leaving her old lover
$4,000, and her letters to him were essential
to prove hs identity. The wife is now glad she
was not allowed to burn the evidence Of her
husbands early affection for another.

pinned it on her shawl, saying she had fairly

He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys:
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughters voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.

Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think OF her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard, rough hand he wipes
A tear out Of his eyes.

The only heart twas meant 10 find.
