CLASS 0PISIoNs-A FABLE.-A lamb
strayed for the first time into the woods,
and excited much discussion among other
animals. In a mixed company one day,
when he became the subject of friendly
gossip, the goat praised him.
pooh |" said the lion, "this is too alb
surd. The beast is pretty beast enough,
but did you hear him roar! heard him
roar, and by the names Of my fathers, when
he roars he does nothing but cry ba-a-a! "
And the lion bleated his best in mockery,
but bleated far from well.
"Nay," said the deer, " do not think SO
badly of his voice. l liked him we'll
enough till saw him leap. He kicks with
his hind legs in running, and with all his
skipping gets over very little ground"
at is bad beast altogether" said the
tiger. "He cannot roar he cannot run
he can do nothing; and what wonder? l
killed man yesterday, and in politeness to
the new comer-offered him a bit; upon
which he had the impudence to look dis
gusted, and say, mo, sir; eat nothing
but grass"
So the beasts criticised the lamb, each in
his own way and yet it was q good lamb,
nevertheless" Charles Dickens.

soon became irksome to the bride, ana from

The husband was not long in discovering
that his wife was still child In every

Young wife returned to tell her trials to her
mother, who put her in charge of an uncle,
who put her In q convent IN this city,
where she remained a year or 80, and when
she was considered competent was taken to
distant city and provided with situation
in wholesale dry goods store, which place
she filled with credit for two years. Suose-
ouently she was employed in other cities,
returning to Cincinnati and establishing
herself as dressmaker.
Time passed on and she married again,
having been told that her husband was
killed in the war. This last husband also
died, and she was again 81 widow. ana

again married to southern girl, and re-
moved to New England. :s
The rude winds of the North, and the
damp. cold sea breezes soon told upon the
delicate constitution of the child Of the
sunny cline. Consumption was the result,
and physicians advised q change of climate.
She, with her husband and only child, fol-
lowed the advice, but ii was too late, and
she died at her fathers, leaving her babe
the only legacy to her husband. Finding
it difficult to keep the child himself, the
father soon took another wife, who proved a
hard stepmother, and the result was q
separation after few months.
The father went to boarding with his
child, and on the 1st of November he saw
some of his letters advertised. Next day
he received letter, in on unknown hand,
requesting him to cali at q given street and
number and see an old friend, signing an
assumed name, which she had long been
accustomed to. He called, and to his aston
ishment found his long-lost wife, now no
longer school girl, but well-informed
and full-grown woman, entirely unlike her
former self. A reconciliation was soon eff
fected, and the parties are now living plea
sanity together, after separation of seven
and half years.

AyrsISG SCENES AT RAILROAD STA
T1oy.-The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
COMPANY a short time since had placed at
the Camden Station, for the convenience OF
travellers, q timetable, which bears re-
semblsnce to o large clock, the hands OF
which point to the time at which the next
train would start-a description OF which
was published in The american at the
time. Since then q number of ludicrous
scenes have occurred at the expense OF
those ignorant of its use. A few days ago
q countryman, sauntering leisurely into the
depot half an hour before lime, carpet-baag
in hand, spied the las he supposedly clock,
and noticing that the hands pointed pre-
cisely to the time at which the train on
which he designed taking passage would
start, seized his bag and rushed frantlcally
down the platform, shouting at the top or
his voice for the train to "hold on, amid
the convulsive laughter of those who wit
messed the scene. .
The other morning, On old gentlemen, in
tending to take passage in the afternoon
train, percei7ing the clock" and wishing
to obtain the exact time, took out his watch,
and finding a remarkable difference be-
tween the two time-pieces, made his watch
to correspond with that Of the clock. Blu
siness calling him to the station about l
O'Clock, he naturally wished to compare
his time with that of the clock, the hands
of which in the mean time had been
changed. He took out his watch, looked
at it, then looked at the clock, held his
watch to his ear to see that it was going,
and then, convinced that something must
be wrong with his own watch, took out
his key and again made it to correspond.
Just as he had succeeded in getting the
"exact" time to his satisfaction, one OF
the officials came out, and Selling the hands
of the clock, turned them to the time at
which the next train would start. Well,
Pm bowed" calculated the old man, draw
ing deep breath; this is devil Of
company to put up such clock as that,
and then have to get fellow to turn the
hands," The face of the old man, when
the mystery was explained to him. you'd g1I!
