The folloxin- true story Is told of Jacob
Shaaf. ESQ, 4 mcrchau. Vi Portsmouth II
former tines:
A mau had purchased some wool Of him,
which lie had weighed and paid for, and Mr..
Shaaf had gone into the back room to get
change for note Happening to turn has
head while there, lie saw in q glass, 4 stout
arm reach up and take from the shelf heavy
cheese. Iuestead of appearing suddenly aud
rebuking the man for his theft, as another
would have done, thereby losing his custom
for ever, the crafty old gentleman gave the
thief his change, as If nothing had happened.
and then, under preteDce of lifting the bag as
If to lay it on the horse for him, took hold Of
II, and exclaimed.
Why, bless me, 1 must have reckoned
the weight wrong :"
"Oh, no. said the other, '.you may be
sure YOU have not, for counted with you"
well. well, We won't dispute about the
matter. it's so easily JrIed,' said Mr. Shaaf
putting the bag into the scales again. There"
said he, Il told you 50; knew l was right
made a mistake Of near twenty pounds; how
ever. if You dou't want the whole, you need
mt have 1t. I'll take part out
mo- said the other, staying the hands Of
Mr.. Shaaf on the way to the strings OF
the bag. I guess III take the whole
And this be did paying for his dishonesty
bv receiving skim milk cheese for the price
of wool.
On another occasion Mr.. S, missed bar
rel of pork. a few months after, man ask
the question.
.Dii you ever find out who took that pork,
Mr.. ShaafE 2
Yes was the reply, you are the fellow;
for none but myself and the thief knew Of the
loss
The fellow was detected by the shrewd
dealer. who possessed the valuable faculty Of
knowing when to be silent.

Small Beef for Mince Pies.

Our train had scarcely stopped at Mitchell,
on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, ere in
came halfa-dozen little urchins with baskets
on their arms, and crying in loud and discori-
ant keys, g Warm mnce pies y " Apple pies
five cents apiece Y Here's your apples and
chestnuts " Molasses candy, cream candy
and butter scoch = and so on to the end of a
killing catalogue.
1t was cold day, just cold enough to make
one appreciate warm things, consequently he oil
the warm mince pies drew, by far, the arg-
est share of custom. AT this the other little
merchants became highly incensed so much
50 that one of them, in spirit of rivalry, and
with view to checking the rapid sale, tool,
the liberty of asserting that the warm mince
pies" aforenamed, were made out of rats.
They're not rats" said the vender of the
slandered article.
Z" But I say they is p replied his tormentor
" You lie-I say they're not ratsr'
" say they is rats, for our little dog helped
you to catch EN-, and l seed ye doin hit y
AT this juncture a Hoosier, who had gone
hall dime on one of the pies whose contents
were now being discussed with regard to
character, Strengthened up, and with a huge
bite half way in his mouth, called out:
"Say, shaver, what did you say these ere
pies were made outn ?''
" Rats, rats p broke in the unsuccessful mer
chant, overjoyed at the prospect of making a
point.
"1hey're not rats, sir, said the embarrassed
boy with much emphasis.
Knot rats, eh y exclaimed the Hoosier
while dark frown threw itself athwart his al
ready dark brow Knot rats, are they?-

The Voieeless
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stop TO number?
A few can touch the magic string.
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas, for those that never sing,
Bat die with all their music in them
Nay, srieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of glory
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
Der Sapphos memory-haunted billow,
But where the glistening night dews weep
Der nameless sorrows church-yard pillow.
0, hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lip and fading tresses,
Till Death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow wdropped from Misery's crushing presses
If singing breath or eehoing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven.

WOMEN IN ENGLAND.-In 1906, the adult
women of England numbered six millions
three of these six millions labored for their
subsistence, and two of these three millions
were unmarried, and depended on their own
exertions for subsistence. A writer argues
that women must have an enlarged view of in
dustry, trades, &C., but insists that they should
renounce the idea of marriage, because such
employment would unfit them for the duties Of
the housewife.

An ANCIENT CARA Paris correspondent
writes " The gardener in the Chateau de la
Beuruere, near Calais, took from pond in the
garden of that old scat, few days ago, a fine
carp, which to his amazement, had gold ring
attached to each of the orifces that serve it
for ears. Not knowing what to make Of the
discovery the gardner carried the fish TO the
chateau, where, the ring being detached from
the head of the carp, there was found craven
upon one of them the inscription, Isdure de
Blerollle, 1704' Evidently the unfortunate
carp had been once before withdrawn from its
watery abode, and had been saved from an un-
timely fate by the pity of the lady Isaure
whoever she may have been; the charitable
dame or damsel having bestowed these orna-
ments on her protege before restoring it to the
enjoyment of its watery element This species
Of fish is known to live to great age; witness
the enormous historic carp in the great pond at
Fontainebleau, round whose necks (if fish may
be said to have q neck) are the gold and silver
rings placed there, when the fish were smaller
than they now are, by the monarchs, or the fa-
vorites. whose name they bear. The carp of
Henri w., for instance, is tolerable tame, and
aften allows himself TO be caught sight of By
visitors. These fish show 20 signs Of old age;
and look as though they might easily attain to
double their present age
