~ Star Fricght," in his pilgrim
age" turned up one day among lot Of
Kanucks, q" five" Of whom were reported
to have just got married and were having
joification. He says:
Il was mquistiv- to see hcw the five
people so recently transported to con-
nubial bliss had divided up their matri-
monial arrangements. Five people to gel
married in English, would certainly leave
one people unoccupied like the calf that
has to eat at the second fab1c when the
frugal yeoman puts five calves to sucking
one COW. But didt.' know how they do
work it in French I ventured to ask
one good looking little fellow how many
weddings they had been having at the
Chebansc. He said, as quick as Lightning
five ofit-fve oft! Come in other room
see my leetle waif-hc tam handsame vot
you name, ch 2" And quicker than dose
Of quicksilver, he had me by the collar and
was leading me TO the parlor, where twas
all 'jibber, jibber, jab,' and kept saying
'vot you name, vot you name !? Told him
Star Freight and by that time he had me
kerspant against as handsome little
French girl as ever saw, and said, Misscr
Siufrate, introduck you nay waif Katee
make him so dis mornin! Katee, you
kiss it, And though am the living
father of five children, if Mrs Star Freight
had been peeping through the door at that
time, she'd have seen new made 'waif

CHEA9EEss OF AMERICAN PAPERs-The
The New York Citizen says that those who
grumble at paying four cents for daily and
and ten cents for weekly papers here,
would do well to notice what European
papers cost. The London Times costs $40
year. The Morning Chronicle, Daily
Meas, Globe, Herald and Post, charge the
same rate. The London Evening IaU is
published three times week 1T s25 a
year. The French daily pan" large ones
ara about the same price as the London
prints. These about the size of ours cost
so and SO year. The Gecmap papers
cost from S22 to $50 year. The cost Of
paper ahd composition, ,.and indeed every
thing connected with the make up Of a
paper is much less in Europe than in this
country, so that the American Journals are
even cheaper than would appear from the
disparity ofprices.

the Quaker, taking pinch of snuff:

Weresford ran to a secretary, took
out box with a triple lock, opened 1T.
and placed In the hands of the Quaker
his watch, his purse, and his sack OF
money. s
"Goodr' said the Quaker, on receiv-
ing them; 81 see / was right in depend
ing on You"
lis this all you wish?'' said the mer-
chant, in brisk tone.
"No; / require something further of
your friendship.
Speak
''You must disinherit your SON."
"How?"'
"You must disinherit him. lido not
wish it said that 1 have speculated upon
your fortune" and finishing these words
the Quaker left the chamber. "No, "
murmured he, when alone, "children
are not bound by the faults of their
parents. Mary shall marry the son of
this man, but touch his stolen money,
never"
When in the yard "Ho, my friend!"
cried he to Weresford, who was looking
out of the window, "order my horse to
be brought out"
A few moments after, Toby, well
mounted, carrying behind him his bag
of money, and provided with his watch
and purse, at a moderate pace regained
his house.
81 have Just made my marriage visit to
your father, /" said he to Edward, whom
he found there. II believe that we
shall be able to agree"
Two hours after, Weresford arrived
at Toby's house, aud taking him aside:
''Honest Quaker" said he, ''your
proceeding has touched me to the bot
tom of my soul, you might have dis
honored me, have dishOnOred my son,
ruined me in his estimation, and have
made him unhappy in refusing him
your daughter; you have acted like a
wise man, and a man of heart. 1 wish
no longer to blush in your presence
Take these papers. Good bye! you
Will never see me again.
He then left, and the Quaker opened
the papers; first there were checks of
large amounts on the best houses in
London; then came a long list of names,
and by the side of each name was
placed the amount of larger or smaller
sums; a note was perfiXed to 1t, upon
which the Quaker read as follows:
''These are the names Of those who
have been robbed; the figures are the
amounts which ought to be returned.
Draw the money from my bankers, as
though for the purpose of foreign OK
changes, and then make the restitution
secretly. All that remains will be my
legitimate fortune, and your daughter
may be able, some day, to accept of
my inheritance.
The next morning Weresford had
left London, aud all believed that he
was gone to live on his income in
France.
On the marriage day Of Edward and
Mary, the Quaker assembled large
company of Joyous friends, among
whom might be noticed a number of
persons rejoicing themselves with the
proceeds of the London thieves, who,
by the interference of Toby had been
induced to return to them their lost
property with interest.

TOBACCO FOR scAB IN SHEEP

his experience in treating the ''Scab:"
"Having some 800 sheep which we're

which could find no answer, as to how
much tobacco it would be necessary to
use In order to cure them. At ven

sheet iron bottom of an old sugar evap-
orator and put in from 16 to Is pounds
of tobacco, and filled it within two
inches of the top, and put the boiled
tobacco into barrel with hole near

after soaking, and put water after soak

Ingenuity Of the Thru.h.

Not very long ago there was pointed
out to me q thrush's nest, built on the
fork of a mountain ash, so near the bed
room window as to be under the close
inspection of an invalid lady, who with
her husband and her nurse, were much
interested in the progress of the fami-
". The young birds Matched on the
10th of june. For several weeks no
rain had fallen till the Doth, when q
heavy downpOur set in, which lasted,
with very slight intermission, through
that and the following day. The par
ent birds were much distressed to give
shelter to their young, and despite all
their care they failed in their efforts,
until, struck with happy thought,
they succeeded in placing stick across
the nest; then availing themselves of
this extemporized perch, and sinruItan-
eously spreading out their wings, they
formed a complete and ef1ectual cano-
py. On the following day the perch
had disappeared; with the return of
sunshine both parents, relieved from ali
anxiety on account of the weather, were
busily plying their brood with grubs
and caterpiilars, so that / had no oppor-
tunity for seeing the happy contrviances
but the three more fortunate observer;
bore testimony, in terms of high admit
ration, to the skill and patience exhibit
ted by the thrushes, who never desert
ed the perch so long as the rain contin-
ued, although their own feathers were
dripping with water. Throughout
the second day of trial, the cock bird
brought food to his mate, who distribu-
ted it among her musings, taking, of
course, her well-earned share. / asked

feet from the ground, but neither had
