THE LAST cENrsATIoN NOVEL
CHAPTER ONE.

HI'l steal the neart of the old mans dsrter.' -
l-Otd. .feiloW.
A young grocer of good character,
and correct habits, commenced business
in good and improved neighborhood.
His stock was small, as were his means,
and his stock of customers still smaller.
His sales hardly met his expenses, and
he was evidently "going down hill, "
and an old grocer, on the opposite cor.
ner, predicted that he would soon be
at the bottom.
The young grocer bad reason to re
gret this opinion of the old grocer, as
will appear. The latter had daughter
that had won the heart of the former.
He offered himself and was rejected.
1t was done however, with the assur-
ance that he was the man of her choice
and that she acted in obedience to her
fathers commands.
Assured of the affections of the wo-
man of his choice, be sets himself about
removing the obstacles in the way of
their union-the fathers objection to
his pecuniary prospects

A STRONG SMELL OF CLovEs.-A
few nights since Tom Jones went home
to his wife in rather disguised condi.

success of our volunteers that he was
compelled to eat handful of cloves to
remove the smell of whisky. While
undressing. his wife detected the per-
fume of the spice, and said:
"Good gracious, Tom, how you smell
of cloves !" "Eh ?' said Tom, starting,

Almost an Elopemene,

Yesterday morning, at quite an early
hour the family ot one of our citizens
was thrown into a state of feverish ex
element by the mater familias, who
imagined she heard stealthy footsteps
on the back stairs. The father of the
family was awakened and assured that
the house was full of burglars, and that
the family would murdered in less than
a minute, unless something was done.
The old gentleman hastily drew on his
pants, lighted the coal oil lamp, seized
the poker, and sailed forth in search of
the robbers. What was bis surprise,
instead of finding the house full of des-
peradoes, to meet on the landing his
good looking daughter of sweet sixteen

pendant from the other. Father was.
of course in justi6able demanded
to know of Sarah Jane what this meant
and Wat she was doing up and dressed
at so unreasonable an hour. just at this
moment came tap on the hall door,
and masculine voice in suppressed
tone sung out: "Hurry darling, I'm
waiting."1 Light began to break in on
the enrag~d parent, and he transferred
bis attentions to the street door. Daugh-
ter expostulated, begged pa not to go
out there, or he would surely catch his
death of cold; but pa was unrelenting,
and in moment stood on the porch,
confronting six-footer. with savage
mustache aud full travelling rig Pa,
of course, stormed, ordered Sarah Jane
back to bed, and, for the time, at least,
runaway match was prevented. 10
The lover was last seen at one of our
livery stables, settling for two-horse
single-seated carriage, which he swore
had proved too wide for one and not wide
enough for two. Sarah Jane last even
ing was looking quite disconsolate, and
spoke of blighted affections and young
hearts breaking for love. We have
reason to believe, however, that she
will recover st. Joseph Union.

WHITE HOUSE ANECDOTES. Some
good stories are told of the Irishman,

Edward went with Fillmore to look
at carriage which the necessity of some
Southern maguate had thrown upon the
market.
"Well, Edward" said the President,
''and how will it do for the President of
the United States to buya second hand
carriage?''
"And sure, your Excellency, and you
are only second hand President, ye
know"
Mr.. Fillmore took the joke, but not
the carriage. This anecdote was told
by Mr.. Lincoln, and was called up by
the following: One dark and rainy ev-
ening we had get as far as the door on

THE ARTIFICIAL MAN.

While lounging one day in medical
library, l CHANGED to take up little vol

dip into it-"Bigg on Artificial Limbs.

the Queen delighted to honor with COM

and on explaining the nature of my er-

different workshops to satisfy my Curl

A very few minutes conversation
with my conductor left the impression
upon my mind that instead of having
any profound respect for Nature, he
looked upon her as sometimes rather in
the way than otherwise, for happening
to ask him playfully, as kind of start

of the subject had been dwelling upon

with the new patent elastic Ind;a-rubber

ing gum-boils How many fair danes
smile at us, whose flashing worries have
lain for years on continental battle
grounds; widows, again, bloomed with
deception. Here, indeed, art has made
a stride. The old stereotyped form of
wig, with its sprawling wavy curl of
glossy black across the forehead fanked
with the frothy bosses of curls on either
side, leaving the hard skin line to dis
close the bungling hand of man-this is
gradually giving place to higher efforts.
Mark, for instance, that wig, SO puritan
ical in its plainness, with a few gray
hairs artfully cast in; see, again, what
efforts have been made with the net
parting. to simulate the thin roofing of
the hair /; and, again, how it's setting on
gradually fines off toward the forehead.
And what shall we say to those long
coils of gold which hang in such pendu-
lous richness; these are the contribu-
tions of the poor German peasant girls
to London fashionable life. Does my
Amelia exc out her natural tresses with
these shining snakes of glossy hair ?
Does my maiden Aunt Bridget hide the
gradually widening parting of her once
raven locks with that plated coronet ?
What member is there in this artful age
that we can depend upon as genuine ?
what secret bodily defect that we par

your arm, diseugaging your wig, easing
you of your glass eye, washing and put

helping the bare vital principle into bed
there to lie up in ordinary, like dis
mantled hulk, for the rest of the night!
