PRESENCE OF MINp.-In times of danger

PRESENCE OF MIND.-In times of danger
nothing is so important as presence of mind -
An English writer, discoursing on the subject
gives the following instances in point;--
A lady was in front of her lawn with her
children, when a mad dog made his appear

DO? What would you have done? She went
straight to the dog, received his head in her

Vision is a matter of the will, or it may be
the fancy. You see no beauty in the girl who
has just Tilted you. You never see man who
is hunting for you to have bill paid. You
never know that you meet shabbily dressed ac-
quaintances. You don't recognize the fellow
who saw you holding up lamp post the other
night In short, the vision is very queer.

A NOVEL INSTANCE OF TREASURE TRovE

Some months since gentleman named Tox-
ell, doing business in Brooklyn, purchased
some property located on the corner OF Lafay-
cite and Carlton Avenues, Brooklyn. The
price paid for this real estate was $I7, 900.
Not long since Mr.. T. refused an offer of $30
900 for the property, and determined to odemcl-
ish a wooden structure that occupied one of
the lots. In making preparations for this he
one day caused some of the flooring of the
building to be taken up, and beneath this
flooring he discovered heaps of dust and dirt
that seemed to contain particles of metal FL
ings. Upon inquiry it was discovered that this
old building had been for many years occupied
by a manufacturing jewelry establishment
This information induced the new owner to
take some of the dust found in such quantities
beneath the floor, to an assay office in New
York, where it was quickly discovered that the
dust was gold dust. This fact was for a long
time kept a secret, but on the discovery being
made that similar case had been brought be-
fore the Supreme Court and decided in favor
permitted to be made public. Weare reliably
informed that the sum of $4,000 in gold ha,
already been taken from beneath the floors oi
this wooden building. A nest-eggla by care

of the jewlery manufactory died few year.

fuse dust of the worker in precious metals i
termed, had been swept through the crevices o
the floor to enrich the present energetic AM

THE ART OF HosPITALITY.-Wel the

pie, pleasant, easy words; without ostenta
tious cordiaity without gushing declarations
of friendship; without paralyzing his arm by
an interminable shaking of hands; without
hurry or flourish, or undue anxiety to have his
trunk carried up to his room, or sandwitching
between every sentence ar anxious appeal to
make himself entirely at home-an appeal
which usually operates to make one feel as
much away from home as possible. Constant
y taking it for granted on the part of the host
and his family that one is not comfortable, and
that they must hurry about and take all res
possibility land all self -helpfulness) from the
guest, thus depriving him of the credit ofcom.
mon sense, is something worthy of Indignation
all the more so because politeness forbids the
least sign of impatience. And yet how many
of our well meaning, and in most things,
wel-bred people, fall into the error that
unless they are constantly on the alert,
unless they establish a kind of espoin-
age over their guest, and watch his every
movement, lest he should brush his coat
or take seat for himself, they will be wanting
in courtesy. The art of hospitality consists in
putting the guest at his ease and this does
not mean telling him TO be at his ease. 1t con,
sists in making him forget that he is guest
and not in constantly pushing the fact before
his eyes. And it also consists in leaving to hin
the exercise of his senses and responsibility, al
least so far that, finding what he needs at hi.
hand, he may help himself. CulttUdtor.

Tightening around the brow as if her cap-band
