Cost Of a Modern Bell.

A matter of fact London Cockney, who

her snowy brow were set S24, ,440 such

monds 2" With the gentle undulation of
her bosom ssrose and fell exactly LIZA
and eighteen cents. The sum bore the
guise Of aabroach Of gold and enamel.4-
Her fairy form was invested in fifty dollars
represented by slip of black satin and
this was overlaid by one hundred and fif-
ty dollars more, in two skirts of white
lace tastefully down each side of the lat
ter were six half crowns, which so many
bows of purple ribbon had come to the

fifty skirts were edged with eleven ad-
ditional guineas, the value of some eight
yards of silver fringe a quarter of yard

and clasp together, | calculated to be con-
fined by $50 dollars Her delicately
rounded arms, the glove of spotless kid

No Use for Trousers.

On the morning of the meteoric show
ers in 1888, old Peyton Roberts, who in
tended making an early start to his work
got up in the midst Of the display. On
going to his door, he saw with amaze
ment, the sky lighted up with.t falling
meteoTs, and he concluded at once that
the world was on FIRE, anu that the day
ef Judgment had come.
He stood for a moment gazing in ter
ror at the scene, aud then with yell of
horror sprang out of the door into the
yard, right into the midst of the falling
stars, and here, in his efforts to dodge
them, he commenced a series of ground
and lofty tumbling, that would have done
honor to a rope-dancer. His wife being
awakened in the meantime, and seeing
old Peyton Jumping and skipping about
the yard, called out to him to know what
in the name o sense he was doin' out
thar dancin' round without his clothes.
But Peyton heard not; the judgement,
and long back account he would have to
settle, made him needless Of all terres-
trial things, and his wife, by this time
becoming alarmed at his behavior, sprang
out of bed, and running to the door, she
shrieked out at the top of her lungs
"Peyton, l say Peyton, what do you
mean, jumpin' out thar? Come in and
put on your trousers"
Old Peyton, whose fears had near over
powered him, family answered, as he
fell sprawHng to the earth

are then sheltered from cold winds, IN

After their Standardization Is completed
they are usually picked, cIeansod and

process is not always performed however,

The Love Wreath.


I've twined thee, Love, Gowery wreath
To bind upon thy brow,
And with kind words on every leaf,
bid it seek thee now.
I've searched the gardens through and through
The green house and the dell,
And rltted them of half their sweets
FOrher l loved well.
thought at least my gift would be
messenger Of love to thee.
First from the gardens wreath stole,
Sweet (D rose buds, fresh and fair,
And ~ myrtle SpTigS, because the friend
l cherished, was not there.
And with the blue (3) forget-me-not,
twined ~ bay leaf green,
While (5) CrOcus flowers and (6) viOlets
Came peeping up between;
And o. pinks and (S) panses blended there
With ~ amaranths more rich and rare.
The UO) star Of Bethlehem rext twined
Among the blooming thr0ng,
Calm thoughts Of him of whom they breathCd,
Stealing my heart along
And the sweet QD possession flower was there,
And leaning on its cheek
Lay the pale G2) snow-baII like a child,
All trustingly and meek,
And from each white and graceful cup,
Methought pure prayer seemed gushing up
And G3) orange flow'rs all white and fair,
And Qi) lilies as pure as they.
Ivc sought with studied grace and skill,
Within the wreath to lay.
And young Q6) moss rose buds dropped their heads
SO gracefully beside,
And blushing so sweetly, that I kissed
The darlings in nv prideI
Hoping my friend would like these best,
And prize them more than all the rest.
And C6) honeysucklcs twined their slight
And graceful fingers round,
And rosy Q7) Iaurels lovingly
With (lS) JaSaminCS intCrwound
Young Q9) daisies own'd the long fringed lash
OF their sweet, starry eyes.
Gazing on all the beauty there
As if in glad surprise;
thought how very like thine own.
With love and happiness they shone
Then take the wreath and bind it love,
Upon thy shining hair,
Among those rich dark curls Of thine
That veil thy forehead fair
And gaze upon thy mirrored face
And own how l"veIier vet
Ny gift hath made thee as il smiles
Among thy CurS Of Jet.
And il the while thy heart run DER

The word Creole.

Col. Williams a gallant officer of New
Orleans, tells the following capital story
of himself:
The Colonel was on a visit to the north,
and at large dinner party at Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. He was almost a strang-
er to the party, both ladies and gentle
men, but his agreeable manners secured
him home reception, and he was quite
at case among his new acquaintance.
''At dinner" says the Colonel, 81 was
seated opposite young and very accom-
plished lady, who remarked, in the con-
versation, Surely, sir, you cannot have
resided long at the South, your complex
ION Is so very fair?" Yes" l replied,
u am a Creole of Louisiana" Instant
ly every cne around me was startled, the
conversation tagged, and all eyes were
turned upon poor me, utterly unconscious
Of having said or done anything to at
tract so much attention. | knew not
what to make of it, till the lady remark
ed again, with long breath, "Well, l
decI0re-I beg your pardon, sir, but l
would certainly have taken you for a
white man!o My face burned like fire,
and for a moment l was silent in my con-
fusion; but, recovering myself, l asked
The young lady what she supposed that
the word Creole" meant? why it
means black or yellow, sir, don't know
which, and it don't make much differ
cnce." l then explained to her and the
company, greatly to their relief, that
creole means nafire, and has no reference
to color or race; that creole horses and
creole COWS are as commonly spoken Of
as creole men, and that l was quite tc
"to the manor born"

Civ Of Canton,

People who have never seen an una
dulturated Eastern City are apt to enter
tain very erroneous ideas upon the sub
ject, when we talk of a great city of a
million inhabitants. The whole circuit
of the walled city is only six miles. The
mass of the inhabitations are about fif-
teen feet high, and contain three rooms {;
they have one entrance, closed by bam-
boo screen. Some of the shops have a
low, upper story, and the house, roof and
entrance may rise 25feet from the street.
Better houses there are, but not more Iof,
ty. All these edIfces are of the most
fragile description, built of soft brick, or
mud.
