pas-There are about 200 female clerks
employed in the Treasury Department.
and selected from almost all tho States
in the Union. Many of them have been
rich, but are now poor. Many of them
arc young ladies', many of them widows.
aud me few are married. Their chief
business is in cutting AMI counting nc|
degal tender and National Bank noted
and in copnting AID destroying cid ones
Their pay is $40 per annum each, for
about six hours close work, per diem.-
The situations are very pleasant, and the
Government, is quite right in giving out
this sort Of work to women instead Of
men. The Supcriniendents complain,
we believe only Of two much talk, which,
if it is not ungallant to say, must be put
down to an in6rmity of the sex.

A Kiss in School.

district school, not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills one winters day,
Was humming with its wonted noise
OF three score mingled girls and boys--
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on future mischief bent
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy book
Rose sharp and clear a ronsing smack
As 'twere IL battery of Hiss.
Let off in one tremendous kiss.
What's thati" the startled master cries.
That, thir,' n little imp replies,
"Wath William wllith. if YOU pleathe,
/ thaw him kith Thuthannah Peathe !"
With frown to make statue thrill.
The master thundered. q" Hither Will :"
Like wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back
Will hung his head with fear and shame,
And to that awful presence came
A great, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good natured fun
With smile suppressed. the birch appraised
The threat ner faltered-" I'm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil should
Re guilty of an act so rude
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to't9"
Twas she, herself, SIR" sobbed the lad;
" didn't mean to be so bad
But when Susannah shook her curls;
And whispered was 'fraid of girls,
And darsn't kiss a baby's doll,
couldn't stand it, sir, at ALL
But up and kissed her on the spot
/ know--boo- hoo--I ought to not.
But somehow from her looks boo hoo
thought she kind o wished me to "

A Pet Panther.

An old hunter of southwestern Tex
as, who had long kept a pet panther OF
great size and ferocity, was recently
attacked in his cabin by Indians. He
let them gain the lower part of the
house, and then let the panther loose
among them, he being safely perched
upon the loose chamber floor through
the crevices of which he could fire up
on his foes, and watch the progress OF
events. But after the first howl and
spring Of the panther, no Indians re,
NAMED, except three killed by the
brute and one shot by the old hunter
The rest disappeared probably never
to return.
