dozen or more men in the yard armed with
guns, pistols and sticks.
The governor led the attack opening

Nobody came, however.

was told to look sharp, and shoot the ras-

search was sufficient to satisfy everybody
that the thief was not in the room.
"He's up stairs, then !" cried Tomkins,
" for I'll take my Bible oath that he didn't
pass the door"
So up stairs they trooped, but had lit a
candle by that time, and there was no
burglar there. The strictest search, even
looking under a boot, dioa't show the
faintest trace of him.
The yard was examined, then the house,
and everybody was tolerably satisfied that
he had escaped but was appointed senti

Zee. itself. Persons thus affected by this
emanation have been known to be seized
with spasms in consequence, although
removed by couple of floors from the
cause.
The ordinary spasmodic asthma arises
from causes just as local. 1t often happens
that patients SO afflicted cannot pass GER
tain limits without bringing on spasm.
The distance of length of street will
often give man perfect exemption from
his dire trouble, or precipitate him into it.
AS rule, persons who are liable to seizure
in the pure atmosphere of the country
obtain great relief by residence in towns
often, too, in the most disagreeable, and,
to persons in health, most unhealthy, por-

plant it may be truly said that what is

Business is Business.

Inc following anecdotes are told of the
late w: M. Swain, formerly proprietor of
the Philadelphia Ledge-::
AS business mar he was very rigid in
his adherence to what he conceived to he
sound business principles "Never fix s.
price on another mans goods" was one of
those principles. A paper dealer met him
one day in the street.
MIR. S." said he, 81 have some excel
lent white paper of the size Of the Ledger.
Do you wish to buy ?"
Yes, sir" was the reply.
What are you willing to give for it,"
was the next inquiry.
:" Precisely the worth of it, sir; neither
more nor less" was the rejoinder
ooh, of course. But l mean, Mr.. S.,
what can you afford to give me for it."
double price, if l choose; but don't"
"But, fix the price, sir.'
never put price on another mans
goods. If you don't know the value of
your own paper you should not attempt to
dispose OF it. Ii you do, you are wasting
my time and your own in idle circumlo-
cutions to get the advantage of me- Tell
your price. Ii it suits, well; if not, you
may ind some other customer"
BUSINESS IS business, and nothing should
Interfere with it, was another of his bust
ness principles Consequently he would
take nothing off the price of an advertise
ment on the score Of friendship Or benev-
olence, or any other of the ten thousand
petty excuses made to snip the printer"
A gentleman once called upon him with
an advertisement of benefit for a poor
widow with several helpless children.
"How much for the advertisement, under
the circumstances" said he "Just what
it comes to- said Dir. s. )" business is bus
mess, sir; charity is another question"
But to poor widow, sir every dollar
saved is a matter of serious moment to her
family" Business is business, repeat,
sir. What l choose to give in charity is
my own private affairs. My business has
nothing to do with it." Then you will
take no less ?" mot a cent sir" The
gentleman paid the bill very reluctantly,
amounting to, perhaps, two dollars, and
was gong out of the Office rejecting rather
severely in his own. mind upon the parsi-
mopy of Mr.. S., when the latter stopped.

honest and deserving "She is, sir" MIR.
S. slipped a SO bill in the gentleman's
hand, and, turning On his, heel walked
away, saying business is business"

The Man Who Ate the First
Oyster.

AN article illustrating the philosophy of
manias contains the following: He was
bold man who first swallowed an oyster,
says De Quincy. Conceive shipwrecked
Ph@nician sailor scrambling over the wet
rocks, perhaps one who has tasted no food
for three days. He notices these little
bivalves for the first time in his life; acct
dentally he touches the open shell of one,
and it closes. He tries to insert splinter
from his broken ship, which is floating
by him, where he saw the two shells close
together, but is unsuccessful. At last he
s. 42arates the lower shell from the rocks by
striking it with loose stone, and makes
an opening for his splinter, and thus at
last tears apart the ligaments by which the
oyster -olds his own. He stares at the
strange, and to him disgusting, lump of
f1eshy substance, then he touches it with
his finger, then smells OF it. He hesitates,
and finally throws it away. An hour
after, impelled by gnawing pains in his
stomach, and fear of horrible death, he
goes to the place where he threw it,
searches for it, washes it clean in a impid
pool left by the tide among the rocks, and
after many wry faces and futile efforts
with prayer to Jupiter, swallows it. His
heart heaves once or twice, but as his
tongue rolls round his palate, he is forced
to admit there is nothing unpleasant in
the taste left in his mouth. He imagines
once or twice he feels symptoms of grip
ing pain, but that passes off. An hour
later he feels SO much better that he looks
for another oyster and before the sun goes
down behind the watery horizon he has
eaten two. With another prayer to the
gods, he makes for himself hole in the
warm, dry sand, above the tide mark, and
goes to sleep with his last thoughts turned
to the home which, after his rash venture,
added to the other dangers of his situation,
he hardly expected ever to see again.
When, on the next day, he meets his COM
rades and persu AIDES them to eat oysters,
he finds that it is less difficult for others to
follow his example than it was for him to
set it, and within year or two all the
sailors in the Phenician navy, and all the
inhabitants in ports visited by Phenician
ships, eat oysters regularly. So oysters
became scarce, and the original discoverer
of their value as food, on some occasions,
when setting on the beach takinga friendly
meal, complains that there are so many
folks hunting after oysters that he cannot
obtain over six or eight dozen day.

An ingenious fire alarm was exhibited

1t is said that certain native artists,
when they would drill hole in pearls,
first fit them loosely in apertures bored in
piece of wood. Then little water is
sprinkled around them, which gradually
penetrates the fbres, and causes the wood
to :" swell" until each little pearl is held
as firmly as in vice. Indeed, no vice could
hold such delicate little treasure without
injuring it.
