- A shoemaker in Paris had been enticed
by rumseller to run score, and his best
suit of clothes were pawned for payment.
A festival drew near and the shoemaker
asked the wineseller to lend him his
clothes for that day. He was refused,
and in revenge enticed his adversary's hen
and chickens into his house, stripped them
of their feathers and turned them loose.
Enraged at the cruelty, the wineseller
sought redress. "Friend," said Crispio,
''as / have done to your fowls so you did
to me. You eniced me into your shop,
stripped me OF my clothes, and left me
destitute. On the charge of cruelty, we
are equal, though the bats we offered
were different.

Barren hens are tho>e that never lay,
or that win sometimes psduce few eggs
~ the spring, and y osher times small
aumber during the lastey part Of the sum-
mer. Such hens ars "a be found in al
most every rc"sry yar& As none Of the
treatisss on poaltry nov extant allude to
,n's subject, we herewith record certain
infallible signs by which barren hens may
be distinguished from those that lay.
Hens that lay are "a the roost at the
first dawn Of morning, while barren hens
often remain there uaatihe sun is high in
the sky, or until the laying hens have am
pie time to fill their crops. Laying hens
have voracious appslile, which appears
almost unsuitable when hey are being fed,
while barren hens are oaen very indiffer-.
ent about eating. Hsss that are about to
commence laying, Or that do lay every
day, OF every alternate day, are as active
in obtaining food for themselves as one
having brood Of hungry chickens is dill
'gent 10 scratching up md scratching out
necessary feed for her young ones; and
such hens are always ready to run into
the barn, stable, or other places where
they are not permitted % go, while bar
rem hen moves about With as mach indif-
ference as if she were l piece Of animated
stupidity. A hen that lays an egg to-day
and another Tomorrow has a comb and
gills red and glowing, like the ruby lips of
abesutiful damsel in siseElast stages Of her
gigglehood, while the cohb and eills of a
barren hen will be a cslprless, paid, and
sometimes as wrinkled : d dried up as the
once fair face Of sons Of our maiden
aunsies at forty-ive and upwards. When
a hen That isys has eaten until her crop is
distended to its utmost capacity, she will
force down little nosS, while barren
hen win often appear AZ Indifferent about
eating good feed as aweaned baby after it
has been stuffed with sweetcake and can
dy. A hen that has Va an egg day,
and will lay another -morrow will go

A Good Story.

Frazer's NJ agazine tells the following
story. which seems TO be intended for a
part OF the biography of Senator j. H.
Lane. Whether it be true or not is more
than we know:
A distinguished politician of Indiana
becoming interested in the movement for
making Kansas free State, left his wife,
and repaired to that territory, intending
to return soon. Becoming, however, iden-
tilted with the struggles of Kansas, the
Senator stayed away very long. His wife
at length demanded bis return. He wrote
back that it was impossible to RETURN
His wife waited little, and then wrote de-
c'aring that, unless he returned by stat.
ed time, she would sue for a divorce
The Senator made no reply, but gave her
glowing account of the patriotic move.
ments in which he bore an important part
lhe next letter he received was from the
clerk OF court in Indiana, informing him
mat his wife had flied bill, with another
from lawyer, offering to defend him.
ne Senator wrote back to the lawyer as
follows:
Dear Sir-Yours to hand. My wife
says she won't stand my long absence

A RoTHscHILD's REslpENCE.-A wri-
ter, mentioning the fetes given by the
great Paris banker, speaks of them as be-
ing, in elegance and expenditure, second
only to the emperor's, at Compiegne.-
After describing the grounds of the i'm
mense estate, the writer says -" The in
terror arrangements, however, are faultless
"a double staircase leads to the hall,
which is eighty-five feet in height, and lit
from the roofby dome of glass, illumi-
mated at night by eleven hundred and fifty
gas burnes. The gallery separates this
vast hall from the dwelling-rooms, each of
which would supply in itself enough treas
ures for very respectable exhibition
byzantine arm-chairs, pictures by Velaz-
qnez, Joseph Vernet, Guido Vandyke, and
know not how many more great masters,
almost fatigue the spectator by their re-
peated claims for admiration. The most
comfortable chair in the salon de famille
was once the throne OF a Chinese Empe-
ror, presented by that Celestial to Roths-
child. A sofa in this said room is cover
ed with oriental embroidery bearing the
Imperial Dragon. The baron's private
study with Gobelin tapestry; worked from
designs from by Boucher. The walls of
the smoking-room are entirely covered
with Russia leather, exactly the tint of
cigar, and on this costly material, Eugene
Laury has painted exquisite frescoes.--
The family dining-room is decorated with
sporting subjects, executed by Philippe
Rousseau. 1t opens on small and very
plain synagogue. 1t was in the large din
ing-room that the emperor and his suite
partook of the celebrated luncheon in 1862
served on Bernard de Palsy china, and
plate chiselled by Goattieres."
