Legal Advice.

A gentleman ordered q suit of clothes
from tailor, and specially enjoined him
that they must be made by the next Tues
day, and must be made in the finest style
and that unless the tailor could have them
ready to certainty beyond paradven-
ture to the day, that he must not under
take them; but Snip promised faithfully
that they would be finished. Tuesday
came and no clothes; the enraged man
flew to the cabbage mans house and said
What's the reason my clothes are not
ready as you promiseds Here you have
kept me in the city at a loss of time and
business only to disappoint me; now, if
we had you in our part of the country, 1
tell you what they would call you they
would say you were perfect squirt"
The humble knight of the goose ex-
planned that the only competent workman
that he had, capable of making the suit,
had wife lying at deaths door, and he
could not possibly leave her. The out
ragedigentleman was not able to smother
his disappointment, and berated the tailor
pretty sOundly for failing in his positive
promise. The ninth fraction of the "genus
homo" could not stand this, and plainly
told his customer to go to the caloric re-
gions of Pandemonium.
The customer, red with rage, rushed
across the street to a lawyer, and in an
excited and hurried manner, said:
"Do You know Snip, the tailor, across
the way?"
Yes, 1 know him." answered Brief.

the gentleman 81 want to know what
you would do in such case. That old

With these words he laid down ten
dollar bill on the desk, and said, "Now,
sir, what would you do?"

What Becomes OF Pins and Pens.

NUMBERS of people have entirely be-
wildered and stupefied themselves in en-
deavors to arrive at some rational cOnclu-
sion on the subject of pins. The statisti-
cal accounts Of the numbers of pins turn
ed ont annually at Birmingham and Shef-
field alone, would lead one To expect that
the earth itself would present the appear
ance of vast plncushion. Where are
those pins of which the yearly fabrication
is on so vast scale? Pins are not con
sumed as an article Of diet Pins do not
evaporate. Pins must be somewhere. All
the pins which have been made since
civilization set in must be in existence in
some shape or other; we ought 10 see
nothing else, look in what direction we
might, but pins. Reader, how many pins
are imported into your own house within
the course of the yearg Do YOU know
what becomes of those pins? There are
few in your wife's pincushion. and one

unfit for use. What do we do with them?
We take them out of their holders, replace
them with others, and leave the old pens

A Brave Girl.

OUR heroine lived in Bartlett, New
Hampshire, and was a descendant OF the
old Crawfords Her father was Craw
ford, ard followed the profession OF 9
guide among the mountains Her name
was Bessie, and she was the only daugh'
ter remaining at home-a dark-eyed
brown haired girl, OF slight but compac,
frame, just entering her nineteenth year
Her mother had been dead several years
and upon her devolved the whole care OF
the household.
One day, late in summer, Mr.. Craw
ford went, with party of travellers, away
to the head waters of one of the many
mountain streams that empty into Saco
and Bessie was left alone. Even the dogs
had all gone with the pleasure seekers
Near the middle of the afternoon, while
the girl was sitting by an open window In
the front room, engaged in sewing, a man
came up from the road and asked her il
she would give him drink of water
Bessie had seen this man before, ami had
not liked his looks He was a stout
broad -shouldered, ill-favored fellow, and
the bits of moss and spikes of the pines
upon his clothes indicated that he had
slept in the woods.
But Bessie did not hesitate She laid
aside her work and went to get the water
When she came back, the man had enter
ed the room. She did not like this, for
she was sure he had come in by the win
dow; but she handed him the tin dipper
without remark. The man drank, and
then set the dipper down upon the table
Then he turned upon the girl, and drew::a
broad-bladed knife from his pocket.
Look ye, my young lady," he said, "l
know there is money in this house; and
know that you are alone. Show me where
the money isl If you don't, l shall Kill
you, and then hunt it up myself I'm in
earnest, and there is no time to waste
Don't make fuss, for if you do, you'll
feel this knife quickl"
Bessie shrank back, and looked into the
mans face, and she could see that he meant
just what he said.
eff 1 show you where the money is, will
you promise not to do me harm?"
"Show me, honest, and / won't harm
you"
"Then come with me. But you will
take only the mOney-you won't take my
fathers papers,"
"Only the money, girl"
Bessie led the way to small bedroom
Oh tne GROUND DOOr, Wnere tnere was ar
old mahogany bureau, the upper drawer
of which she unlocked. The man, when he
saw this, thinking doubtless that Crawford''
gold was within his grasp, shut up his
knife and put it into his pocket. The girl
opened the drawer, and, quick as thought
drew forth large navy revolver-ons
with which she herself had killed a trapped
bear-and cooked it.
"Villain" she exclaimed, planting bel
back against the wall, and aiming the
weapon at his bosom, "many wild beast
have 1 shot with this good pistol. and III
now shoot you if you do not instantly
leave this housel will give not even Q
second Start, or tirei''
The ruffian could read human looks rs
well as could the maiden, and he could
read very plainly in the firm-set lips and
in the flashing eye-but more clearly in
the steady hand which held the pistol
that shs would not only fire as she had

But he lost nothing by it. Whatever he
did was successful snd even when he
was quite young man he was able TO buy
a carriage for his mother to ride in. He
was very good man, and when his
mother grew quite old she died blessing
him. AS for Ernest, he lived great many
years, and won the respect and love of all
who knew him. Do you know why?

and fatal one.

backed into the sitting -room-then
leaped from the open window and disap-

Bessie kept her pistol by her side until
her father and his guests came home; and
when she had told her story, search was
made for the ruffian. But he was not
found. Our heroine had so thoroughly
frightened him that he never came that
way again.
