ANOTHER CONFIDENCE GAME.-Some people sup
pose that the clerk who works for the lowest sal
AIRY is the cheapest clerk. Than this, nothing
could be farther from the truth. a clerk OF this
kind is employed in hardware store in the north-
ern part of the city. On Saturday, a well dressed
young man entered the store. He walked briskiy
up to the clerk and said:
!" Ill thank you for that bundle Of knives and
forks.'f
The clerk said certainly and passed over two

WHY DO WE YAwN Because, as we become
weary, the nervous impulses which direct the re-
spratory movements are enfeebled 1t has been
said that those movements are involuntary, and
that parts engaged in producing them are not SUBJ
ject to fatigue. But the operation of breathing is
to some extent voluntary, it is nyoIuntarily con-
tinued by organs which know no fatigue. When,
therefore, we feel weary still controlling our

WAGES N ENGLAND.-A newspaper in Leicester
shire, Eng, recently denounced stocking manu-
facturer named Homer, for oppression of his work
men and for being truckmaster-that is, paying
them their wages in goods out of his own store.
suit for libel was instituted, and the editor was
fined s25 and costs. The fact of the payment in
goods was admitted, and the testimony as to wages
shows what proportionate amounts of work and
pay are not considered oppressive by an English
Jury. 1t appears that by working fifteen hours per
day the stocking knitters can earn from six to nine
shillings per week. Of this they paid from one to
two shillings week to Mr.. Homer for the use of
his knitting frame, so that the actual wages were
reduced from five to seven shlngs per week, of
which they must take the larger amount in gro
eeres of their employer at his prices. The average
wages of Mr.. Homer's workmen was about 81 80
per week. The condition of those having families
to support may be imagined. Some of those sum
moned witnesses could not appear in court till
decent clothing had been borrowed for them,
having only rags to cover their nakedness

again turned upon its assailant. Mr.. Reuben, how.

reptile, much to the admiration of the Jewish gem

CLIMATE OF THE UNITED STATEs.-Prof. Joseph
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute has maps illus
trating the climate of the United States. The
isotherma lines follow the lines of latitude very
nearly, except in passing over the great ranges of
the Rocky Mountains, which occupy about one
third Of the space between the Atlantic and Pa
eiie coasts. There the line curves to the north ten
degrees, and by another curve meets the Pacific
curve at the same degree it started with The
cause of this increase of temperature upon these
mountains he aseribes to the prevailing westerly
winds. These come from the Pacific, charged with
moisture. The mountains absorb much of the
moisture, by which process latent heat is de-
veloped and the temperature is thereby elevated.

DIAMOND OR PAsrE.-There has been much
talk in Paris for few days past of an ad-
venture of Russian who is very rich, and
has great passion for diamonds. AT house
to which he was introduced, he saw one even
ing seated ut u card table Young man very
elegantly dressed, aud having on his finger
a superb diamond ring, which, as he handled
the cards, reflected the light very brilliantly
in every direction. The diamond naturally
attracted the attention of the Russian, who
asked permission to examine it. He looked
at it, tried it on, and became SO enamored
with it that he offered to purchase. The
young man declined on the ground OF fami-
ly associations, which made him unwilling
to part with it, A large sum was offered.
but again declined. The Russian still per-
sisted. At length the young man told him
that if there were 10 other reason, he could
not think ofselling it as it was not genu-
inc diamond. Astonishment succeeded ad-
miration in the mind Of the Russian, and
hc asked the loan Of it for single day
Consent was courteously given, and he took
tie ring TO his jeweller, who pronounced it
a diamond OF the first water. He sought
again the young man.

six thousand francs for what assure you is

The paper was readily signed, the ring
given up, and the Russian went of trium-
phant. A few days atterward, meeting his
ieweller, he showed him exulsingly, his new
purchase. The jeweller glanced at it; then
examined it more closely.
This time" he remarked quietly, sit is

The ring undoubtedly, had been adroitly
exchanged at the moment of delivery, but
the paper the Russian had signed left him,
of course, without any legal renedy.-Home

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.

Between the dark and the daylight
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupations,
That is known us the Children's Hour.
| hear in the chamber above me,
The pa,tar of little feet,
The sound Of L door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study see in the lamplight,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice and laughing allegro,
Aud Edith with Golden hair.
\ whisper, and then silence: -
Yet know by their merry eyes
They orr plotting and planning together
10 take me by surprise.
4 sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall
By three doors left unguarded
They ertcr my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret
O'er the arms and back Of my chair,
III try to escape, they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost deyour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till think of the Bishop Of Bingen
In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine
Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such m old mustache US | am
Is not a match for you all?
have you fast in my fortress,
Aud will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeons
In the round tower Of my heart.
And there will keep you forever,
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin,
And moulder in dust away.
