Deleterious Effect of a auahsr's Attire.

Deleterious Effect of a Quaker's Attire.
Cobbet, who lived for more than year
at Hampstead, Long Island, used some
times to tell laughable stories at the
expense Of tho Quakers, some Of whom
lived in his neighborhood there. The
author of "Recollections of Mr.. JAY" a
Bath clergyman, gives the following as
received from Cobbett's own lips:
was acquainted with well-disposed
young gentleman Of large fortune, whose
only fault was the habit of swearing
and habit that he often declared he
would give half of his fortune to get rid
Of This desire came to the ears of
Quaker, who thereupon had an interview
with the young gentleman, and said:
~ can cure thee of that bad habit"
"Whereupon the youth caught hold of
the Quaker's hand, gave it q hearty shake,
saying:
GLOW can you perform this miracle2"
The reply was:
81 can tell thee. | have heard that thou
art going this day to travel for a period
of six weeks. Thou art just my size;
uOUouy VIII huOW tucei tuuu Sldlb COuc
to my house, put on the cooked hat, the
coat without buttons, the knee breeches,
and thou wilt find the arrangement of the
dress will have such an effect on thee,
when thou art going to talk, that it will
restrain thee from swearing-as thou per-
haps knowest my good friend, that Qua
kers never swear
The young man cheerfully assented to
the proposal, and accompanied the
Quaker to his house where, after chang
ing his clothes, he took his departure III
the garb of a Quaker, and went on his
way rejoicing The period of the young
gentlemans tour elapsed, and the Quaker,
all anxiety, started to meet him. Having
met him he, said:
"How art thee?'
The reply was:
every we'll.
"Hast thou sworn so much with that
dress on thee?'
The young man, rubbing the sleeve OF
his coat replied
Certainly not, but feel add in
clination to lie2'

A YANKEES OPINION OF The STRANGER
They had play down to the theater the
other fight there was feller in it named
the Stranger; another feller named Miss
Haller The Stranger nobody know'd
and he know'd nobody, and Miss Haller
was in the same fix. Another feller
named the Count (he wasn't of much ac-
count), >he thought he'd bring these peo-
pie together kinder neighborly like, and
the invited Mr.. Stranger up to stew at
his house. The Stranger come, and Mr.
Count introduced him to Miss Haller.
He said show dew ye dew" Miss Haller
down she Topped. That's all that play
amounted to.

HAIR PowDER.-Hair powder was freely
used in 1890. An other equally good
authority says, that powdered hair first
took its origin from some ballad singers,
at the Fair of st. German, whitening
their heads, in order to make themselves
looksridiculous. A tax was subsequently
laid upon powdered hair, May s 1895;
and full bottom wigs were first worn by the
judges in 1914. Long hair was prohibited
in Massachusetts, in the year l649.

that might be his name, but it was
scarcely audible. The hand grew colder
in his fevered pressure. Yes, even before
Lord R could interpose, or proffer
assistance-she, with one long, intense
look upon features familiar to her from
childhood, and imaged probably in her
marriage-dreams, had fallen back the

mansion it had no mistress.

g Ich Diem

A correspondent writes thus "1ou
will obligc several readers by cN-
planning the meaning Of the words
d" lch Diem" which were visible on
the scroll underneath the Prince OF
Wales plume, which had such a bril-
liant appearance, at the Academy OF
Music, on Wednesday evening, when
lighted up, with the artificial stones
sapphire, ruby, emerald, and dia-
Misunderstanding out rays of light from
the delicate Jets Of flame which issued
from the feathers. The affair reflects
infinite credit upon the taste of Cor
nclius q Baker, who got it up, but
there has been no small discussion as
to the meaning of the Princes motto,
and You are requested to set our
doubts at an end"
The difficulty is easily adjusted, and
the required explanation may be Civ
en- in a few sentences.
Edward, the Black Prince, son of
King Edward III, of England, great
ly distinguished himself by his valor
at the Battle of Crecy, fought on the
25th August, 1916. At that time he
was little more than sixteen years old,
and VOL his spurs in a gallant man.
ncr. In that battle, one of the com
batants was the King of Bohemia,
who, though he was nearly blind, told
his mcn to lead him forward, so that
he could strike one blow with his
sword ; and they all tied the reins OF
their brides each to the other, that
they should not lose him in the press,
but they were all slain, the king
among the rest. On a cross-road
from Crccy to Fontaines-sur-Maye,
which was probably in the midst OF
the battlefield, is a rude cross, where,
tradition says, the blind old man was
buried. 1t has been asserted by his
t~orians that the Black Prince slew
with his own hands this John, of Lux
embourg, King of Bohemia, the sti
pendiary of the King of France, and
that it was from the head of the Be-
hcmian monarch that Edward, then
Prince of Wales, took the plume OF
three ostrich feathers, with an ancient
coronct, under which, in a scroll, is

H RAIN CONCERT.

Millions of tiny drops
Are falling all around
They're dancing ON the huTsc-tops,
They're hiding in the ground.
They arc fairy like musicians,
With anything for keys,
Beating tune uIon the windows,
Keeping time upon the trees.
A light and airy treble
They play upon the stream,
And the melody cncllants lis
Like the music of Il dream.
A deeper bass is sounding
When they're dropping into caves /;
With a tenor from the zephyrs,
And an alto from the waves.
Oh, its a stream of music,
And, Robin, "dont intrudc,"
II, when the rain is weary,
He drops an intcrlude.
1t seems as if the warbling
OF the birds in all the bowers,
Had been gathered into rain drops
And vas coming down in showers.
