And then the once proud but now
humble Matte Hunter, with a generous
impulse, took the hand of the pale trem-
bier, and joining it with Paul Denning's.
and speaking no word. left them thus.
That mute union did for the estranccd
lovers what years of pride could not
have done.
There were two hearts that night that
mingled in one silent stream Of love and
happiness and one, sorrow- -freighted
barque, which sailed firth in hollow
pomp upon the sea Of worldly pride and
fashion. and through all time still glided
on. oh! how utterly desolate and alone.

"Have you any thlck little boys outslds
over coats?' said Mrs. Partington, as she
entered the "Rotundity" at Oak Hall. as she
called it. The young man in attendance
smilingly asked her how thick the little hoy
was. She looked at him a moment, and 500
ing that he didn't know any better, she cx-
planned that it was thick coat she wanted
for Ike. "Would you like Raglan ~ said
he, taking upa coat thus dcnominated.-
"Raglan!" replied she, with tone Of as
tonlshmcnt, "no. want a new one this is
rag enough without any more," pointing to
the garment worn by the boy, that showed
sundry frinscs that were no ornaments. Hs
explained that it was the name Of new gar
ment Of the description that she wanted, and
utterins very extended "O!" she proceed
ed to negotiate. Ike was delighted with the
spacious pockets, and when no got home tho
old lady took out Of them four apples, pint
Of peanuts, pocket comb, "IIous, that
Jack built" handkerchief, top string, six
buttons, dozen matches, four pisces Of :latO

The Horse.

Among the great mass Of "fol.de-rol
delivered in the shape of lectures, it is
refreshing to come across such gem ~
the following:
Ike Partington is we'll advanced in his
class. He is in some things beyond the
teachers art, and could, in fact. give
that funrtionary some lessons in arts
wherein he is perfect. Ike dislikes com
positions where a theme is given out
to be written upon by scholars, and his
credit is not very great for his efforts in
that direction generally but the other
day he astonished the master and every
one in the school by an elaborate article
on the horse. He was called upon to
read it aloud to the scholars, and on get.
ting upon the platform, he made bow
and began:
THE HoRsE-The horse is a quadru-
ped with four legs, two benin and two
before. He has tail that grows up to
the hind part of his body, that nature
has furnished him with to drive the flies
away. His head is situated on the 9th.
er end opposite his tail, and is used
principally to fasten bride to him by,
and tc put into basket of eat oats with

them. especially truckmen and omnibus
drivers, who don't seem to be half grate-
full enough because they've got en-
Thcv are very convenient animals in tho
country, in vacation time, and g very
fast over the country roads, when the
bows stick pins into them, species Of
cruelty would not encourage. Horses
arc generally covered with red hair.
though some are white, and others are
grey and black. Nobody ever saw
blue horse, which is considered very
strange by eminent naturalists. The
horse is quiet and intelligent animal.
and can sleep standing up, which is
very convenient gift, especially where
there is a crowd. and it is difficult to &c.
chance to lay. There is a great varie-
ty of horses-fas: horses and slow
horses, clothes horses, horse mackerel,
saw horses, horse fies, horse chestnut,
chesnut horse. AMI horse radish. The
clothes horse is very convenient ami
NAL to have around house, and il new.
er known to kick. though very apt to
make row when it gets capsized.-
The same may be said of the saw horse.
which will stand without tying. The
horse fly is a vicious beast. and very an
noying in the summer when fellow is
in swimming. Horse mackercl don't
know anything about. only that they
swim in the water. and are species Of
fish. Horse chesnuts are prime to pelt
Mickies and horse radlsh is mighty
smart horse. but bad to have standing
around where there are children. The
