iTag, Rag and Bobtail.

The following is related of the celebrated
Judge Peters. OF Pennsylvania
When General Lafayette was on his last
VISIT to this country, Independence Hall, in the
Statei House at.PhIladelp hia, was opened, in
order that the public might have chance to
shake hands with the friend of Washington.
Judge Peters being appointed one of the COM
mittee to introduce the great unwashed,'
there was circle formed, on one side of which
stood the General and the Judge, those wish.
ing to be introduced being obliged to walk
across from the opposite side, and after paying
their respects retire on either side, TO make
way for others.
One individual-who, rem his-mauner. evil
IDENTIFY thought it the most important event Of
his life, being dressed within an inch thereof
was seen elbowing his way through the dense
mass cougregated near the door, and the PRESS
ufe took off HE cOat-tails, leaving nothing but
the body of his otherwise faultless dress-coat.
In his excitement he knew nothing of his loss
but having gained the front of the circle strsds
across the vacant space with the air of a man
who thinks he is creating sensation. And,
you'd better believe, he thought right; for the
moment the Judge saw him approaching he
turned TO the general, saying, " have intro.
duced you to Tag and Rag, now here comes

A Southern planter named P, pretty
well to do in the world now, was some twenty
years ago poor boy on the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland. One of the most marked traits Of
his character was an inordinate love Of money.
10 the course of time p was of age, and
thought ii was about time to get married. He
went TO a nsighboring village, and was intro.
duced to the daughter of Judge B. "Dang
fine gal," said The embryo speculator to his
friends, who were gaining him an entrance
aiming the elite.

How much might Judge B be worth Z"
"About ten Thousand dollars" was the reply.
"And how man children has he got!' con-
tinued P.
"Only three
"Three into ten goes three times and third
over" mentally ciphered P. Here was q
chance, and he improved it too. He made love
TO the beautiful and unsophisticated daughter
of the Judge aud all his possessions. Strange
to say, for he was as uncouth looking cur az
ever went uulicked, his suit prospered and they
were married. The honeymoon passed off az
all hOneymoOns do, and they were happy. The
bride was lively and chatty, and made illusions
to her brothers and sisters. Startled at 30 many
names he thought should not be in the catal-
ogue of relations, one evening at teaihe said:

Be Gentle, Be Conrteons.

The writer was passing once along narrow
pavement. A young man, in course apparel,
at our approach stepped aside, with great a;ac-
rity, and into the mud edging the path. He
did not bow, he waved no hand, he moved
without grace, yet the whole was evident cour-
tssy.
After passing, the thought arose, should we
not acknowledge and thank for behaviour so
unusual in young man in this brazen age?-
We went back. Offering cur hand we said,
Young maa, shake hands with ME ~
"Certainly, sir, but why do you wish it :"
Because you are a kind hearted fellow, and
a true gentleman; you gave all the pathway
to me !"
"Sir, would step into the gutter for an ell
Derby man!'
"God bless you, young man! May you be-
come believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, whose
servant profess to be myself; and may we
meet in heaven if we never meet on earth !"
Tears stood in the eyes Of both and when
we said goodbye, our hands seemed to be a
love-tie, binding our hearts; and we were, at
that moment, Improved as citizens and repub-
licans. Reader "be courteous !"-ChriStiGn
