- Bell Smith Abroad" tells great many
very good stories, some that she had heard other
people tell, as well as those she evidently made
for the occasion. Here is one of the former. A
travelled gent is spreading himself:

a man of infinite genius; had he stopped to
books, / have little question but that he would
have at once been recognised. got him at
bargain. He cooked once an experiment.
impelled by his wonderful genius, the Empress
Marie's favorite monkey, and had to fly for his
life; and this proves how nearly our affections
are allied to our digestive organs. The Empress
was SO delighted with the dish that she never
rested until she discovered of what it was COM
posed. The Bible, you know, speaks OF men
without bowels. Well, as | saying, / was
surprised at my house one day by party of dis
tinguished diners, who came purposely to try
my cuisine. There was not an article to speak
of in the house. Barbetti looked puzzled for
second, but only second. Hang me il knew
half the time what was eating. We had din
ner-superb, wonderful dinner; and, in the
midst of our raptures at its conclusion, we beg
ged Barbetti to give us the real bill of fare. My

The PURCHASE OF CUBA.-The Washington
Star says, it has every reason to believe that the
country is in maze of error TO the character
ofthe instructions which Mr.. Soule took to Spain
It is generally believed that he went out author
lied by the government to make offer for the
purchase of Cuba. Now every gentleman in
Washington connected with foreign missions is
in error, if that impression was founded on fact
Their understanding is-and we feel assured it is
correct-that he was instructed to urge not the
sale of Cuba to us, but that Spain should acknow-
edge its independence, on the property holders
fthe island paying into the treasury of the realm
fair equivalent for the pecunary sacrifice which
the mother country might make in treating her
colony as kind parent should treat child old
enough to begin the world on its own account.

E 1t is not often that onr readers will find
more tender and beautiful picture taken from our
varied receptacle of things new and old than
the following, from the pen of Hon. Charles q.
Eastman, of Vermont. It's perfect simplicity is
one of its greatest charms:
1.-THE farmer he sat in his easy chair
Smoking his pipe of clay,
While his hale old wife with busy care
Was clearing the dinner away;
sweet little girl with fine blue eyes aa
On her grandfalher's knee was catching fles.
"The old man laid his hand on her head,
With tear on his wrinkled face,
He thought how often her mother, dead, ST.
Had sat in the selfsame place; y ssit
AS the tear stole down from his half-shut eye,
Don't smoke, said the child, how 1t makes
youcry HA zE.
/" The house-dog lay str etched out on the tioor,
Where the shade. afternoons, used TO steal;
The busy old wife by the open door ri
Was turning the spinning wheel, (.
And the old brass clock on the mantle-tree
Had plodded along to almost three; ass
"Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his heaving breast
The noistened brow and the cheek SO FAIR
Of his sweet grandchid were pressed;
His head bent down, on her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they both that summer day.

ToBAcco.-Who choose our tobacco among the
foreign nations with whom deal, is matter
of some curiosity. The London Morning Chron-
icle says that tobacco is of the accessories OF
life in England-it is no longer mere luxury
but enters into consumption among the masses,
who are taxed severely for it. Great Britain lev
les a duty of e 4,500,O 900 or three shiinss slcr-
ling per pound on tobacco, making tax of
nearly rs cents each man, woman and child
in that kingdom.
Twenty eight million of pounds are annually
consumed in Great Britain. For manufactured
tobacco we find that Canada is our best customer,
England the next. British American Colonies
the third, Australia the fourth.

A NEW WAY TO DETECT Know NoTHINGs.-
We clip the following account of the sinking OF
the floor Of house in Weavervilie, occupied at
the time by hefriends of g Sam" Saving the
severe hurts received by some of The persons
present. the results were rather amusing. Those
gentlemen found near the building without hats,
and with saw dust all over their heads, were
evidently caught in the act. We quote from the
Iimes:-
There were some two hundred persons as
sembled in the second story of Messrs. Harris,
Mcclure & Co.'S building on Court street, when
suddenly the floor gave way, sprecipat the
whole assembly to the floor beneath, a distance
of some twelve feet One person had his arm
broken, one had three ribs fractured, another
two, and several persons received severe lnJu-
ries. but of less serious character. II IS
strange, under the circumstances, that no lives
were lost. The room was supposed 10 have
been occupied at the time for meeting OF the
friends of" Sam, ;" who it seems mustered IN un-
expected numbers. ~
Some very amusing incidents occurred in
connection with the accident. Several promi-
nent individuals in this community, who have
generally been supposed to be opposed to the
Know Nothing movement, and who, by some
sin nguar combination of circumstances, happen
ed to be in the immediate vicinity of the ruins.

saw dust in their hair, made anlusingly unsnc-
cessfu attempts to convince The crowd of out
siders'' that Immediately assembled. that they
were not in the building at the time Of the acci-
dent, in fact that they were entirely ignorant OF
the meetings and of its nature But the suspi-
cion is indelibly fixed in the minds OF our for

r From Dickens Household Words.
One by One.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength 60 to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one, (bright gifts from Heayen,)
JOYS are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, let them go,
One by one thy grefs shall meet thee;
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land,
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly,
Has lis task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regrettins,
Or for passion hours despond;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eargerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.
