MIR. BROWNS MISIIAPS.

Mr.. Eliphalet Brown was a bachelor of
thrty-five or thercabouts one of those men
wio seem to be born to pass through the
world alone. Save this peculiarty, there
WIS nothing to distinguish Mr.. Brown from
the multitude of other Browns who are
born, grow up and die in this world Of ours.
1t chanced that Mr.. Brown had occasion
to visit a town some fifty miles distance, on
matters Of business. 1t was his first visit to
the place, and he proposed stopping for a
day, in order to give himself an opportunity
10 look about,
Walking leisurely along the street, he was
all at once accosted by child of give, who
ran up to him, cxcaiming
Father, want You to buy me some more
candy"
"Father' was it possible that he, a
bachelor, was addr ssed by that title? He
could not believe it
"W no were you speaking tony dear?' he
inquired of the little girl
II spoke t0you, father said the little
one surprised,
Really, thought Mr., Brown, this is en-.
barrassing,
II am not your father, my dear" he said
what is your name ~
The child laughed heartily, evidently
thinking it good Joke.
what funny father you are, " she said
but you are going to buy me some candy
YES, yes, I'll buy you pound if you
won tcall me father any more" said Mr.
brown, neryousy.
Inc little girl clapped her hands with de-
llght' Inc promise was all she rememb bcred
Mr.. brown proceeded to the coniection-
cry store, and actually bought pound Of
candy, which he placed in the hand. of tho
little girl.
In coming out Of the store they encounter

COUNTER ATTACHMENT. Mr. Davis of
Mississippi, who is for taking Cuba by attach
ment, seems to forget that he lives in very
conspicuous glass house. Ifever there was
community or State which assimiated to the
character OF "an absent absconding or fraud
ulent debtor, it is the community and State
OF Mississippi, IT. creditors have not only
had to wait unreasonably for both principal
and interest, but have been told that they
may whistle for their pay to the end of time
Ii, therefore, the new theory of proceeding
by attachment is to be adopted, England will
have reason to make its very first application
of this 'sharp practice TO Mississippi herself,
the home of its brilliant inventor. Journal
