geor who had couched a cataract and
restored the sight Of a poor woman,
in Dublin, observed in her case what
he deemed a phenomenon in optics, on
which he called together his profess
ionaf brethren, declaring himself un-
equal to the solution. He stated to
them, that the sight of his patient
was SO perfectly restored, that she
couldsee to'thread the smallest needle,
or to perform any other operation
which required particular accuracy of
vision, But that when he presented
her with a book, "she was not capa-
BILE of distinguishing one letter from
another" This very singular case
excited the ingenuity of all the gen
tlemen present, and various solutions
were offered, but none could command
the general assent. Doubt crowded
on doubt, and the problem grew
darker from every explanation, when
at length, by a question put by the
servant who attended, it was 'discov.

A CoURTsH1p In PUNs.-A9 certain
Mr.. Par, being 9smitten with the
charms of certain Miss Ann Marr, q
belle whom he met at Newport, was
exceedingly ,perplexed to contriye
how he should open his heart to her,
AT length he met her, and it was for
the last time that season, at a public
dinner, and in the dread Of losing her
forever, he resolved even there to
make a desperate effort to pop the
question Fortune fevored the at
tempt. 1t happened that opposite to
the gentleman there was a plate Of
Par9mesan cheese, and near the lady
stood crystal dish of marmalade.
"Nill you do me the honor to ac,
cept.o a little Par, Miss Ann? said
the lover, with a lookfuIl of meaning,
and moving his hand toward the
=, l.t -ff-H ~ rT
cheese.
"Tell me first" replied the damsel,
with admirable readiness, liftining, at
the same time, the top of the crystal,
"whether or not you are fond Of Mar,
ma lad?" .l.
e o"AboVe all things in existenceip ex.
claimed the enraptured youth. l2n'4
The offers were mutually accepted,
and understood as pledges of personal
attachment by the parties, although
nobody else comprebended the
equivoque; or discovered any thing in
the transaction but common civility
The treaty thus opened was soon rati,
fed, and Miss Ann MaRr was invested
with the title of Mrs. Par. 4 II

offence to either ma or pa. a

The GRAVE OF JosEpHtNE.-RueiI

THEa GRAVE OF JoSEPHINE.-Rueil,
where the unfortunate and divorced
Queen found her grave, was once the
home of Richelieu. The old Cardinal
had his country aeat there, and used
to come thither to refresh himself af-
tev his tolls for France-and himself.
The only other thing for which the
little town is celebrated is its church,
which has tower built in the twelfth
century; the rest Of the edifce is of
the time of Francis /. In this church,
in one Of the ohapels in the nave, lies
buried the Empress Josephine. The
tomb is an imposing one, and it is be-
cause it is there that the old church
has been kept in a constant state of
repair by the present Emperor. In
1924, ten years after their mothers
death, Queen Hortense and the Prince
Eugene purchased the chapel in the
church and erected the tomb there
The remains were conveyed there not
long after. f,4a Led
The monument is in white-veined
marble, and under an arch the
Empress is in prayer. Strange
enough, however, she is in court cos
tune. The face, according to the
testimony Of those who knew the
Empress, is a faithful likeness. The
monument bears this single inscrip-
ton: "To Josephine" Eugene and
Hortense, mother of the present
Emperor, is in the same church, but
one descends in vault to see it.
CooL.-A young "blood," whom we
will call Oliver, met with an incident
during his early courting days, thai
neibherhe orfhis friends have forgot
ten. 1t chanced that Oliver wa'
1"courtlng" a young lady against thu
wishes of the stern parents. He knew
his unpopularity, and seldom appeared
on the scene until "the old folks wer
abed," and then he would steal int,
the kitchen and enjoy the company o
his inamorato. The thing worked
well for time, but things 50 very sof
are apt to break. y9i @.'. e.!e
The old fellow at last began Il
"smell a mice" He attempted II
|steaI upon them one night, but his flu
ture son-in-law got the start of hin
by about ten feet. Springing into tn,
yard he lodged into a hen-coop
which operation created quite com
motion among the inmates. The ole
man came out, and without saying ;
word, he shut and locked the door
then calling watchdog Of well known
lgrit, he bade him keep watch and
iguard for the remainder of the night
The dog knew his business, and did
