BORROWING" Ny DEAR" said Mrs
Green to her husband one morning, :" the
meal which we borrowed from Mr.. Black
few days ago is almost out, and we
must bake to morrow"
Well" said her husband, "send and
borrow half bashel at Mr. Whites ;
he sent to mill yesterday"
And when it comes shall we return
the peck we borrowed more than month
ago from the widow Grey"
No" said the husband, gruffly, " she
can send for it when she wants it. Sam.
do you go down to Mr.. Browns and ask
him to lend me his axe to chop some
wood this forenoon ours is dull, and l
saw him grind his last night And jim,
do you go to Mr.. Clarks and ask him to
lend me hammer and do you hear !?
you might as we'll borrow few nails
while you are about il"
A little boy enters and says, " Father
sent me to ask if you had done with his
hoe, which you borrowed a week ago last
Wednesday ; he wants to use it."
Wants his hoe, child +? What can
he want with it / have not done with
it yet but if he wants it, I suppose he
must have it. Tell him to send it back,
though, as soon as he can spare it."
They sat down to breakfast. go mer-
cy (" exclaims Mrs. Green, there is not
a parcel of butter in the house. 81, run
over to Mrs. Notable's- she always has
excellent butter in her dairy and ask
her to lend me plateful."
After few minutes, 81 returns "Mrs.
Notable says she has sent you the butter,
but begs you to remember that she has
already lent seventy-nine platesful, which
are scored on the dairy door,"
Seventy-nine platesful' exclaimed
The astonished Mrs. Groen, holding up
both hands. 1t is no such thing III

had, what is little plateful ? l should
never think of keeping an account of

Little Fingers.
Busy little fingers,
Everywhere they go;
Rosy little fingers,
The sweetest that / know
Now into my work box,
- All the buttons finding,
Tangling up the knitting,
Every spool unwindingl
Now into the basket
Where the keys are hidden,
Sc. mischievous looking,
Knowing it forbidden.
Then in mothers tresses,
Now her neck enfolding,
With such sweet caresses,
Keeping of seolding.
Darling little fingers,
Never, never still,
Make them, Heavenly Father.
One day do thy will

''Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost friend:
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end;

Living or dying, none were blcst
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love

And faith behOlds the dying here

tons were taken to the Justices ruling
upon the measure of damage to which
the defendant was entitled by reason O
the plaintiffs leaving his employ before
til e time for which he was hired had
expired; but the Court held with the
Justice that the proper measure of such
damage was the difference between the
contract price for the unexpired term of
service, and the real ,Corth, according to
ruling prices, of the labor that should
make good said term. The cause being
tried by jury, verdict for plaintiff was
rendered of $50. 80, being about $40 less
than in the Justices Court, while the
costs were increased from S32. Is to $3.50.

The original "dead beat" has been
discovered. Gen. Butler has unearthed
him in, or rather under the House of
Representatives. When the Appropria-
ton bill was considered on Wednesday,
by the Committee on Appropriations,
General Butler discovered an item pro-
posing so much per annum for the Su'
perintindent of the Crypt. Not under
standing what this meant, he sought
knowledge from his fellow members;
but they were no wiser than he. He
then consulted the appropriation bills
for fifty years back and found the same
things charged in each bill. After u
determined search among the employ
ecs of the Capitol, the Superintendent
Of the Crypt was found. He was
brought forward and made to relate his
history. 1t seems, shortly after Gener-
al Washington died, an act was passed
by Congress providing for the building
of vault beneath the Capitol, which
was to hold the remains of the immor-
tai Statesman and warrior, and to be
called the Crypt. 1t was found neccs-
sary to have II man to watch the sacred
spot, and accordingly an officer was cre-
ated, to be called the Superintendent of
the Crypt. The duties of the Superin-
tendent were to sit near the Crypt daily
from 8 a. M, until 3p. M, and see that
only one gas burner was used
This the present occupant has done for
forty years, and now Gen Butler cruel
ly proposes to abolish the office.

ACCIDENTAL severe accident, though
fortunately unattended with the proba-
bility of fatal results, occurred at the
school house Oh Friday afternoon of last
week. One of the pedestals or feet to
the High School room seats, a cylinder
of wood some eight inches in diameter
and eighteen or twenty inches in
length, having beeu placed under a
raised window in the second story, was
accidentally thrown out, and fell with
stunning force on the head of one of the
Grammar School scholars, lad named
John Horn, who was standing on the
ground directly below the window. The
blow cut an ugly cash, and pretty badly
mixed Johns ideas for few minutes :;
but striking we'll forward on the top of
the head, the physician decided no dam
ger was to be apprehended; as usual in
such cases, however, rcmarking the
probable fatal result had the blow
swerved all inch in any direction.

SURGICAL OpERATIoN-Dr.H II. II.
Maynard, assisted by DR.. J. c. Turner,
last week performed an operation upon
the wife of Mr.. VIM. II. Hammond by
which she was relieved Of the almost
incredible amount of serenty-eight
pounds of dropsical water. Up to our
latest information, Mrs. H. had grown
no worse since the operation; and
though her life has long been dispaired
of, every hour that she continues to sur
vive strengthens the hopes of her
friends of a change for the better.
AS some of the many who are always
ready to censure physicians for acts of
theirs concerning the right or wrong of
which the censors are profoundly ignor-
ant, have in this case, been condemning
the course of the medical gentlemen
with tho usual assurance of ignorant
conceit, Mr.. Hammond desires US to say
that any charge of malpractice against
the attendant Doctors is unfounded and
untrue; -sasat they acted. upon the case
just SO soon as they were permitted to
do so by the patient and her family, and
that there is no reason for thinking that
the operation was not performed pre-
cisely at the proper time.
After the above was in type, we were
informed of Mrs. Hammond's death.
which occurred at late hour w edncs-
day afternoon.
