Jones was up stairs, but he was summon
ed. Wordsworth, having made certain
that he had now got hold Of the veritable
Jones, then very solemnly informed him
that he was friend of Lord Montesgle,
the Chancellor Of the Exchequer and that
he was on visit to him, and that Lord
Mopteaglo's butler, who was very relia.
BILE and decent man, had recommended
him to Mr.. Jones as being a very reliable
tailor who sold cheap for cash. Jones
bowed deferentially.
81 now want you, Mr. jones'" contin-
ued the poet, ITO measure me for two suits
Of clothes, one for Sunday, and the other
for walking about in the country.
ought to have told you Mr.. Jones, that l
live at Rydal Mount, near Ambleside,
Westmorcland, and that am great wan.
derer about the fields and hills there"
Jones bowed, and was about to measure
him when Wordsworth said:
Stop bit; let m eshow you how walk
in the country. You will then see that /
want the clothes made very loose, and the
stitches made very strong, so that | may
throw my arms about in this fashion, with
out splitting the garments"
Saying this, Wordsworth commenced To-
walk up and down the shop, taking long
strides, and dineing his arms about as
though he was windmill In gale Of
wind. BY this time the people employed
there seemed much amused at the scene.
When the old poet had sufficiently i'm.
pressed upon the tailor the necessity Of
making his clothes very strong, in order
to resist his gyrations, he walked up 10
the somewhat obfusticated Jones, and said
with great carnestness. "You have seen
how / walk, now measure me-"
Jones measured him, and we departed,
W ordsworth telling the tailor to send on
to me il he wanted anything further.
Next morning the tailor called on me; and, /,
aft er a little bummine and having, in
quired with much mystery, and in a SUBJ
dued tone Of voice, IL he was really to
make the clothes ordered by the old gen
tleman.
"Certainly. Why do you ask2' was my
rejoinder.
"Because, sir," said Jones, deferential-
ly, IL thought he was little crazy, and
that you only had him measured TO hu-
NOR him."
then informed the sceptical Jones
that the gentleman in question was very
distinguished man, being no other than
Mr.. William Wordsworth, the great poet.
am sorry to add, for the reputation of
all tailors, that Jones was no wiser than
he was before. never having heard Of the
author Of Peter Bell" till that minute.
Upon my assurance, however, that the
old gentleman was no more mad than
either Jones or myself, he made the clothes
sent them home to the care of Lord Mont.

Cure for the WhoopInq Cough.

The season of this dreaded affection to
children and others is now in force, and
very many are already suffering from the
fearful malady. we could not do better
than give remedy for it by DR.. A. e.
Castle, of New York, well recommended
physician. He says:
II will simply remark that certain
remedy, and very simple and natural one
has been discovered for it. DIR. j. I'm
ticker, Of Cincinnati, DIR. Coddington, Of
this city, and the results Of my own ex-
perience says that the decoction Of the
leaves Of the chestnut tree-'castanea-
vesca--is safe. perfect, and sure rene
dy for the cure of whoopiug cough. Dur.
ing the past two years this medicine has
hai fair trial. aud we all agree that, at
last, remedy has been found to cope with
the disease. In every case it has given
decided relief within the first two weeks.
By its use the cough is at once cut
short, patients rest easier through the
night from the time they commence taking
it, and after ten to fifteen days from that
time, the symptoms disappear very rapid
ly. The method Of administering the
leaves is as follows: Place half an ounce
of the leaves in one pint of water, in any
convenient vessel; apply heat, so that it
approach to boiling point; then empty the
whole, without straining, into an earthen
vessel-a tea pot, say. To be partaken
of occasionally throughout the day, every
day, especially at bed tine-as much as
the patient will drink. Sugar may be
added to the decociion, if preferred, in
the same way as tea is prepared, the taste
Of which, by the bye. it somewhat resem-
bles. 1t is best, however, when in the
form Of plain decoction."
