The Most Beautiful Hand.

i recollect that once there was a
dispute between three ladies, which
mad the most, beautiful hand. One
sat by stream, and dippel her hand
into the water and held itup; another
plucked Strawberries until the ends
of her fingers were pink: and the
third gathered viOlets until her hands
were fragrant. An old haggard wo-
man passing by, asked, Who will give
me a gilt ? Tor l am poor all turee
denied her; but another who sat near,
unwashed in the stream, unstaine.i
with iruit and unadorned with flowers
gave her little gilt and satisfied the
poor woman. And then she asked
them what was the dispute; and they
tOld her, and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. Beautiful, in
deed, said she, as she saw them; but
when they asked her which was the
most beautiful, she said, 1t is not the
hand that is washed clean in the
brook; tits not the hand that is tipped
with red; it is not the hand garlanded
with fragrant flowers; but it is the
hand that gives to the poor, which
IS the most beautiful hand AS she
said the words her wrinkles fed, her
staff was thrown away, she stood be-
fore them an angel from heaven, with
authority to decide the question in
dispute.--Jhe doie TiiiOn.

A New ExfempOre Story by
Chas. Dickens.

7
Charles Dickens presided, on the
5th instant, at the annual dinner OF
the Railway Benevolent institution,
in London. From his speech we ex
tract the following capitally told sto-
ry:
"Now, gentlemen, on this point Of
the case there is a story once told
me by friend of mine. which seems
to my mind to have certain appli-
cation. My friend was an American
sea captain, and, therefore, it is quite
unnecessary to say that his story was
true. He was the captain and part
owner of large American merchant
liner. On a certain voyage ont, in
exquisite summer weather, he bad
for a cabin passenger one beautiful
young lady and ten more or less
beautiful young gentlemen. Light
winds or dead calms prevailing, the
voyage was slow. They had made
half their distance, when the ten
young gentlemen were all madly in
love with the beautiful young lady.
They had all proposed to her, and
bloodshed among the rivals seemed
imminent, pending the young lady's
decision. In this extremity the beau
tiful young lady confided in my
friend the captain, who gave her dis
crete advice. He said, "if your Of
fections are disengaged, take that
one of the young gentlemen who you
like the best, and settle the ques-
tion." To this the beautiful young
lady made reply: 81 cannot do that,
because like them all equally we'll"
My friend, who was a man of re-
source, hit upon this ingenious expe
dient. Said he, I" To morrow morn
ing, when lunch is announced, do
you plunge bodily overheard, head
foremost. ! will be alongside in a
boat to pick you up; and take the
one of the ten who rushes to your
rescue" The beautiful young lady
highly approved of this and did ac-
cordingly. But after she plunged in
nine out of the ten more or less beau
tiful young gentlemen plunged in af
ter her. The tenth shed tears and
looked over the side of the vessel,
but remained on deck They were
all picked up. When they mustered
dripping on the deck. and stood
there in a limp row, the beautiful
young lady said to the captain,
" What am l to do now? See what
a state they are in. How can | choose
one o: the nine when they are all
equally wet?" Then said my friend.
with sudden Inspiration, MY dear,
take the dry one" l am sorry to
say she did, and that they ';ved hap.
py ever after.

CO.Operative Industry.

A correspondent of the Hartford
Courant thus describes CO operative
enterprise IN Mortified, the western
part OF the town of Litchfield, Con-
necticut:
1t seems that some twenty years
ago, q number of workmen in the
knife factories throughout the state
struck tor higher wages, feeling sure
that their employe ers received the
lions share of the profits. The de
mand was not acceded to. Instead
OF loaiing around idle, ani combining
TO prevent others from working, as
it is fashionable nova days 10 do.
these men mostly English and
Scotch--assembled and talked over
the ''situation," and concluded to 90
into business for themselves. One
OF their number reconnoitered, found
an old unused mill on little brook
in Northfield, and made bargain
for it-S5 month, and the farmer
who owned in was to take his pay in
pocket knives. They counted up
their capital" and found it to con
sist of an even five dollars apiece, tie
fund Of those who had only two or
three dollars being pieced out by
those who were the fortunate possess
ors of seven or eight. They appoint
ed out of their number President
of the company, invested this capital
in the machinery required. bought
their stock on time and went earnest
ly at work. They were generally
sober and industrious-those who
who were otherwise dropping out of
their own weight, and giving place
to better men. The business sue
ceeded. The capital was largely in
creased. Dividends were declared.
The profits, instead OF being absorbed
by one, were shared by all. The old
shop was enlarged. Workmen cap
italists gathered their families about
them, and each built himselfa snug
white cottage along the road leading
up the adjacent hillside. Some ol
the past officers have proved I'M
worthy or inefficient, and the com.
pany has met its share of mishaps,
bat the general result has been pros
perity. The stock, largely Increas-
I'D, cannot be had for anything like
par, The workmen driven to think
for themselves, are mostly Republi
cans; and they form as pleasant a
picture OF thrift, skill, sobriety and
comfort as one would encounter IN a
weeks travel. Several OF the origi
nal proprietors are still found at the
polishing wheel, and as each man has
a per sonal interest in the excellence
OF the work, there are in the market
no better or. handsomer knives than
those produced by the Northiield
Knife Company. Why should mol
other workmen, of every craft, profit
by this experiment.

APleasant Re.Union.

A few months after the breaking
out of the war in '6l, party of louI
ladies and four gentlemen were din
ing together at Delmonico's. Dur
ing the dinner, in talking over the
national affairs, the gentlemen, one
and all, solemnly agreed to volunteer
and serve during the war The la
dies were very enthusiastic, and
promised to do all in their power to
help the cause. They then signed a
document, agreeing, if they lived
through the struggle, to meet at the
house of one of the ladies on Ger
tain day, hour and year, and there
relate their several experiences. The
day named for the re- union was the
14th of June 1867, when they all as
sembled together once more. Two
of the gentlemen had been promoted
on the field for bravery one was a
colonel, and the other major. The
two had both been wound
ed, one having lost a leg, and the
other an arm. AS for the ladies, one
was married to the gallant soldier
who lost his leg, he having fallen in
love with her while she was nursir Q
the wounded in the hospital; another
was engaged to the colonel, and the
third to the gentlemen who lost his
arm. The fourth young lady and
the major assured the rest that they
had arranged to live single the re-
mainder of their lives. The evening
was delightfully."- passed in listening
to the many thrilling and few anus,
ing adventures each had gone
through. We promise to give a de.
scription of the said military we'd

Power Of HUInbug,

An individual who owned q small
tavern near the field Of Waterloo,
the scene of the last great action OF
Napoleon. was frequently questioned
as to whether he did not possess
some relics of the battle, and he has
invariably and honestly answered in
the negative.
He was very poor, and one day
while lamenting to neighbor of moi
only his poverty but the annoyance
to which travellers subjected him, his
friend cut him short with:
We'll, make one help the other
Make some relics @
But what can do?' inquired tho
poor man.
Tell them that Napoleon or Wei
lington entered your shop durin:
the battle and sat on that chair
Not long after an Eaglish tourist
entered the tavern, and inquiring for
relics was told the chair story. The
next conner was told that Wellington
had taken a drink, and the yelling
ton tumbler was accordingly sold.
The third gszed with breathless won
der on the nail on which Bonaparte
hung his hat. The fourth purchased
the door posts between which he had
entered, and the fifth became the
happy possessor of the floor upon
which Napoleon had trodden.
At last advices the fortunate tav-
ern keeper had not q root to cover
his head, and was sitting on bag OF
gold in tine center of o deep pit,
formed by selling the earth upon
which the house stood.

,Jndson r Mills of South Caro-

Judson T. Mills, of South Caro-
lima, was Judge OF district court in
Northern Texas. and fond of a joke, but
very decided in his discharge Of duty.
Thomas Fannin Smith was practic-
ing lawyer at the bar, and having
shamefully mistated the law in his
address to the jury, turned to the
Court and asked the judge to charge
the jury accordingly. The judge was
indignant, and replied;
"Does the counsel take the Court
to be fool?'
Smith was not abashed by the re
proof, but instantly responded,
IL trust your honor will not insist
IN an answer to that question as
/ might, in answering it, truly be
considered guilty OF contempt OF
:ourt.
"Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr..
Clerk" said the judge.
Smith Immediately paid the money.
and remarked it was ten dollars more
than the Court could show.
Fine the counsel fifty dollars"
said the Judge.
The fine was entered by the clerk,
and Smith, mot being ready to respond
in that sum, sat down. The next morn.
ing. on the opening of the court,
Smith arose and with much Difference
of manner began:
MAY it please your honor, the clerk
took that little joke of yours yester.
day about the fifty dollars as serious,
as perceive from the reading Of the
minutes. Will your honor be pleased
to inform him of his error and have
it erased?'' The GOODNESS of the re-
quest and the implied apology pleas
ed the judge,and he remitted the fine.
