Sheridan was always ford of practical
jokes, and he played an ingenious one on the
Duke Of Devonshire one night at Brookc's.
The Duke had introduced the custom Of tax
ing broiled bladc-bonc Of mutton for sup
per, followed by champagne or punch
Sheridan came in late and found the only
blade bone just ordered by the Duke, The
wicked wit said nothing for some time then
sided towards the Dukes table, and began
to tell a recent adventure of his to Mr.. Hare,
who sat by the Duke. a# 9asar sfa8a
Having fallen into puddle, he said, on
his way from the house, he had gone to dry
his stockings in the club kitchen. While
there he had seen hungry freshman come
in aud gnaw primo bladc-bone he had
found on the. table All at once q cook
sprang at him, snatching the blade bone,
threw it on the gridiron, cursing the Irish
man. and telling him it was the only one in

WHAT TIE HEART Is-Somebody says,
The heart is IKE a plant in the tropics, which
all the year round is bearing flowers, and
ripening seeds. and letting them fly. 1t is
shaking off memories and dropping associ.-
lions. The joys of last year are ripe seeds
that will come up in JOY again next year
Thus the heart is planting seeds in every nook
and corner and as wind which serves to
PROSTATE plant is only sower coming forth
to sew its seeds, planting some Of them IN
rocky crevices, some BY river courses, some
among messy stones, some by warm hedges,
and some in garden ard open field, SO it is
with our experiences of life that sway and bow
us either with Joy or sorrow. They plant
everything round about us with heart seeds.
Thus house becomes sacred. Every room
hath memory, anda thousand of them
every door and window is clustered With as
socistions

Progress Of Catholicity in England.

A special letter addressed to the Franeais
speaks particularly Of the progress of Catholi-
city in England The Catholic population Of
London exceeds 100000 In the diocese Of
Westminster alone there are about 1900 abn
rations annually. Churches are built in every
direction. The Citrate Of Kensipgton is build
inga church which will cost seventy-fye thou
sand dollars. It is almost incredible to tell Of
the enterprise started within the last three
years by the zeal of Catholics and which have
been completed as ifby enchantment. Arch
bishop Manning has purchased a piece Of
ground in the city of Westminster, containing
nearly three acres, for the purpose of building
a cathedral and archiepiscopal residence. The
site is quite close to the ancient abbey An
other evidence of progress is the multiplica-
ton ofschools for poor children. Since 1866
twenty-eight Of these schools have been erect
ed. In the diocese of Westminster $4,000
children frequent these establishment The
Catholics who are generally poor have con
tributed about 1000 for the support Of the
schools

Speech in South Carolina by Hon. John
Quincy Adams.

CuAnLEsroN, S. c., October 13.-John
Quincy Adams last night addressed an i'm
mense meeting OF the South Carolina De-
mocracy in Columbia. :.
His speech was long and elaborate, breath
ing the same moderate and conciliatory spirit
as his recent letter.
Referring to the pending political strug-
gle, he said:
':Your relations to the political parties OF
the North have very important bearing
upon your fate, Cat all events, just now, and
demand careful meditation. Most OF you,
doubtless, regard the success Of the Demo-
cratic party as essential to your release from
your present situation; but it is my duty to
remind you that men in your position
have no right to be bigoted or partisan
s.You must, Of course, feel deep interest
in the success Of those who espouse your
cause, and you may properly exert all legitl-
mate influence to promote their success; but
you ought not to shut the door to aid from
any source. | have already deprecated I'M
reasonable and undistinguishlng hostility to
the Republican party l would now warn
YOU against an absolute and exclusive deyo-
ton to any party.
If the Democracy succeed in electing
then candidates you will be subjected to
t6AStation as trying as the demand upon
your sufrance may prove in case General
Grant is chosen President. Hasty, i'll consid-
cred, passionate, orviolent action, in the event
of Democratic success, would be almost
sure in the end to turn to your discontinue,
and render your last estate worse than the
first; and yetit will require a good deal OF
seif-command to control the reaction from
this depression. But the country, IN that
event, will be SO severely divided and SO
greatly excited that small thing may induce
a terrible catastrophe.
''On the other hand, in case OF General
Grants election, you will be called On to ex
ercise awhile longer your patience and Tor
bearance / am sure it will be rewarded in
the end. I don't believe that Gen. Grant is
your enemy. feel sure he means kindly
towards you, and will do justice and show
mercy in his course towards you.
"a large mass Of Republicans will help
yeu, if you will do your best to help your
selves. A great majority Of all the North
only want to be sure it is safe to take you
cordially by the hand once more
ssBide, then, your time. In either event
possess your souls in patience. Call to your
aid that grandest Of all human qualities
selfcontrol-and all will yet be well"
Mr.. Adams's address was we'll received
Speeches we're afterwards deliyed by Wade
Hampton and others. The meeting was the
largest ever held in this State.

Putting his Mark on Her.

One of the real old Mayo gentry, six feet
four inches high, stout i'll proportion, rugged
as one of his own mountain bulls, and proud
as Breton, had attained the age OF forty
and was still unmarried. He was constant
visitor at the house Of three ladies, not over
burdened with money or blood, but the young.
est of whom was possessed Of beauty and
skill in retort. Every one said it would be
match; but years rolled away, and the de-
cisiye words were not spoken, though other
suitors were warned off by significant hints
from the formidable but undecided Mr..
Blake. One evening he called in, returning
from the fair of Castlebar, and he found the
ladies were having few friends and an i'm
promptu dance. There were some officers
lately arrived from India, whose regiment
was at Castlebar, and a certain Captain Ora
ham had Mr. Blakcs lady, as she was gencr-
ally STYLED fast locked in that half embrace
the soottische permits. The captain was an
adept at sshoulding up" which Irish and a
great many other ladies consider a partner
bouuden duty.
Blake's idea of waltzing was as prcjudiced
as Byron's; and he had an ugly scowl on his
brow that would have frightened many men,
as the LADY passed him with a slight nod ;
however, the captain ouly pressed his part
ner the closer.
II am sure you will like the captain, for
dear Mabels sake; and VIC rely on you to
make it pleasant for him while here" said
the eldest sister. ....~
Mr.. Blake was standing with his back to
the fire. and drawing from his pocket a small
branding iron used for putting initials on the
horns of cattle by the purchaser, he gave the
turf quiet poke, and left the lcttered end
in the hot ashes. *
"Your honor's lost her. whispered Pat
Casey, the old servant Of the house, as he
handed negus round "the captains less ia
dious than your honor in lovc-making."
swell, Blake you're done," said Mr.
Browne. 4Waited too long, my boy and
the captain there will carry off the finest girl
in Mayo"
"By heaven, then, he shall find my mark
on her" cried Blake; and, as the WALKERS
passed, he drew the brand from the fire and
clapped the red hot letters on the shoulder d
Miss Mabel, just above the low dress. Oh
course there was a deal of screaming and
fuss; but the lady recovered sufficiently te
become Mrs. Blake, and I hear, never regret
ted the event which at last compelled lei
lover to speak his mind.
A friend of mine told me, some time since
that he had been staying with the B'akes
and he could aver that Mrs Blake still wore
high dresses on all OCCASIONS. 94''f,
