ROMANCE OF A PAIR OF BooTs.-One day
last week, as o clerk in n of our hand
some stores, where ladies principally do
their shopping, was sitting disconsolate and
alone, probably musing upon the transitory
nature of all things, or most probably
thinking how nice it would be to have some
fond bosom on which to rest his weary head,
and some kind ear to listen to and share
his sorrows-whilc thus occupied, a fairy
creature entered the store. The two were
alone. She was young, languishing, and
beautiful he was fond and devoted. She
called for boots; he piled up the counter.
She would try them on he was kind
enough to assist, and, rs his fingers acct
dcntalIy touched the snowy stockings,
tightly fitting to a rounded calf and ankle,
it would not be unnatural to suppose that
a thrill penetrated his vitals. Finally a
pair was fitted to her dainty feet. She
would Just step out a moment and ask q
friends opinion. Our clerk, seeing this
charming creature, in her innocent sim.
plicity, leave her pocket-bOOk on the coun-
ter, was still more charmed, and awaited
her return with impatience. The minutes
seemed long; yes, very long. An hour
had passed; where was the charmer !
Go ask" etc. At any rate, he concluded
to look at the pocket-book. He did so,
and found it empty. Imagine his feelings.

LIFE TOO SHORT FOR STRIFE.-Charles
Dickens relates the following of Douglas
Jerrold:
Of his generosity I had o proof within
these two or three years which it saddens
me to think OF now. There had been es-
arrangement between us-n0t on any per.
sonal subject, and not involving angry
w~ords-and a good many months had passed
without my ever seeing him in the streets,
when it fell. out that we dined, each with
his own separate party, in the Strangers
Room Of the Club. Our chairs were al
most back to back, Inc j took mine after
he was seated at dinner Il am sorry to re-
member), and did not look that way. Be-
fore We had sat long, he openly wheeled his
chair around, stretched out both hands In
an engaging manner, and said aloud, with
q bright and loving face, that ! can see as l
write to you "Let US friends again.
A life is not long enough for this"
Jerrold was not q Christian, but his con-
duct in this case was worthy of the Chris
tan character. On q dying bed how insig-
nifcant will appear many things about
which we contend in bitterness and wrath
Life is too short, it's inevitable SORROWS
so many, Its responsibilities so vast and
solemn, that there is, indeed, no time to
spare in abusing and maligning one another.
Let not the sun 60 down on your wrath.
| Never close your eyes to sleep with q
heart angry towards your brother and fell
low-suferer. See him, and be rcconciled
to him if you can. Ii you cannot see him,
write to him. If he Is a true man and q
Christian, he will listen. If he is not, You
| will have done right, and your soul will be
bright with the sunshine of Heaven.

A FRENCH LOVE STORY-The Count dc

A Young person, the daughter Of one OF
his friends, pleased hinl-her fortune
