JAMES WATKINS,

An anccdote is related of u Master
Mason, we'll known to most of our
readers, noted as he is for his manly
acts Of charity. He is withall man
ofgood presence and great favorite
among the ladios--so much so as to
cause some degree of jealousy on the
part Of his worthy spouse. One even.

Blankets, baby linen, &C., greeted her
astonished vision, and dreams of two
families foated through her brain.
The husband soon came in, and after
tea, when the wife had discovered ia
his ego the treachery Of his conduct
as she supposed-he took the bundle
and went out, but not alone, for tho
jealous wife was on his track. The
faithlcss husband little imagined that

wronged was lowering after him. lie

he entered. Here she paused to hold

The Decline OrHooos.

The contraction of feminine hoops
begins to be apparent in tho streets
and in the street-cars. If the reaction
has fairly set in, there is no telling
in what it may end. 1t is said that
our great-grandmothers wore hoops
larger and more cumbrous than any OF
the present generation have seen,
while our grandmothers discarded not
only hoops, but great deal of UNDER
clothing, appearing in public in skirts
of such gossamer texture as to afford
something more solid than n mere con.
lecture upon which to base an idea of
eXquisitely-rounded limbs and other
voluptuous charms. Nay, more, it is
alleged that before going to an evening
party they slightly dampenod their
skirts, so they would cling more close
ly to their human forms divine, "half
revealing and h alf concealing the myss
terious 9onfguraton of the womanly
shape. Whether the hoop reaction
stops short of this other extreme or
not wo must mako up our minds to be
satisfied, as experience has thoroughly
demonstrated that it is no use for BIZ
furcate humanity to kick up dust
about female fashions. The effect Of
ridicule, as we'll as serious remon
STRANGE, has been thoroughly tried on
hoops, waterfalls and other feminal
ofxins," and all to no purpose. The
moro the newspapers lampoOned them
the more they flourishod like green
bay trees, until just as we become rec
enoiled, the female whim changes, and
off they go. But come what may, we
shall be the gamers by tho abolition Of
hoops, There will be more room in
the street-Oars and on tho side-walks,
to hint nothing about the many other
little eonvenisncSs that viii be restored
to us from the far past Of imperious

a revelation of the mysteries of his
Providence,
Tho great Jewish lawgiver was
complaining $50 runs the statomenD Of

The Lord then took him to a noun

Suddenly he awOke, jumped on his
horse, and soon appeared as mere

HIM bag Of pearls, which he had for
gotten in his haste. Another Arab now
reached the oasis, saw the bag of pearls,
took it and disappeared in the opposite
direction
Soon after, an aged traveller, leaning
on his staff, came with slow and feeble
steps to seek rest under the branches
of the trees. He threw himself upon
the ground, and soon fell asleep. But

scarcely were his ewes closed, when he
was rudely awakened. The young
Arab had returned, and demanded his
pearls. The old man replied that he
bad not taken them. The other furi-
Gus, accused him of having stolen them.
The traveller swore he hadnot seen the
treasure but the Arab fell upon him,
and during the fight that ensued, drew
his sword, buried it in tho old mans
breast, and ho fell dead on the turf.

Moses
