men term it "short and crusty." A week
or two since he was called to visit pa

"Thresh him. exclaimed the astonish-
ed woman, "no; but | cut the strap into
hash and made him swallow it. y
ooh. Lordl Doctor, roared the victim

The passion for jewelry is instilled in the

this fashion is borrowed from the Indians.
Then again. before they can spell or read

could give that genuine graceful deport-
'nent which the French call tenue. Their
iittle embryo minds and hearts are already
poisoned with coquetry and love of show.
They have beaur, receive calls, banquets,
make appointments; rivalry and envy, in
their ugliest shape, early take possession
of their souls.

To say "Zeht" and. his treasurer would fling

This king, when out hurting on one fine day.
Saw a aged Isan planting trees!
He rede np aud said-"WthyOu r hair so gray,
Don't you think you are throwing Your time

You'll never eat fruit from those."

Before all my trees are sown."

Another purse few on its way.
Till God placed 8 crown on your majesty's
