A woman smells best, says Guivarra, when
she hath no perfume at all, and with wise
men gets more credit in plain attire than when
set out with baubles, as butchers meat is in
variety of colors. Let them take heed Of
isaiali's prophecy, that their slippers and at
tires be not taken from them, then sweet
savors, bracelets, ear rings, wells, whimples,
crisping pins, glasses, fine linen, hoods, lawns,
and that they become not bald, toothess and
unsightly, and at last go down, down, down.
Demme," excIaims Jonnydrabs, as he
stands upon rickety bench looking outupon
the living panorama of female loneliness pass
ing before his eyes. " Demme but that is GER
twanly the most chawming guirl have seen

take hearts by storm. Look at him in his
aristocratio position upon the rlckety bench.
lie is man of small stature and is fastidiously
dressed in the very agony of the latest fash
ion: His head is almost white, not with age
but naturally, and the tiny little moustache
with which his upper lip is shaded is blackar
than funeral pail. His barber is into the
secret of this discrepancy in color, hut Jonny-
drabs swears by the great Pentateuch that he
shaves himself and was never in barber shop
in his life. His physiognomy is not at all i'm
pressive, yet he is fair type of his class, and
the girls love him because he is pretty and
because the peachy red in his cheeks blends
so imperceptibly beautiful with the pearly
whiteness of the surrounding parts. He has
good teeth and on that account never looses
an opportunity to laugh, which generally af- |
tords great pleasure to the delightful female
society in which he revolves, and they giggle
in unison. But Jonnydrabs is now on the
trail of the dem'd foine creature whom lie has
just spotted" and as we did not observe the
result we will not imagine it. Tale, Vale.

The pilgrims to the New Jerusalem, and like
any other poor mortal, appeased the longings
Of the inner man. The harvest was abundant
but the quality was poor and the servants few.
We shut our eyes and swallowed as fast as pos
'ible; soon consciousness of fullness began
% force itself upon us, and we moreover felt
thirst. We meekly impored drink, and in
answer to our prayer man appeared before
Is. He was a tall man and reminded lie

vas fatter than any porker, and looked fero-
ious like a backwoods-man. As he bent his
argc eyes upon us they sparkled like stink
ng mackerel in a dark cellar, and we quailed as
I beneath the gaze of basalisk. Weasked him
mildly for drink of water, but he thought,
10 doubt, that something else would answer
letter and brought us cup of coffee. We felt
clieyed when he was gone and would have
frank poison to get him out of sight. This
