by different persons, with heavy odds
against Sans horse.
When Sam rode up to the starting place,
there were shouts of laughter at his appear
ance, and the most unsparing censures of
his presumption in entering the race. Sam
paid no attention to this, but started with
the rest, and It soon became apparent that
he was no such fool as they took him to be.
He was among the foremost in two min
utes, and at the end of the race that "ugly
old hoss' was pronounced clearly and ir-
revocably the victor.
Sam coolly received his doubloons back
again, and put them in his belt, together
with the planters check for $4,000, which
was afterwards duly honored.
He offeredcfo bet on other horses, but
there were no takers. For this, however,
he was compensated by the most liberal of
fers for his horse-s5OO, $1,000, s2OOO were
offered for him. This last figure being
the highest, Sam accepted it.
On his return to the brig, Sam. learned
that no one of the crew but himself had
been at the races.
As soon as he came on board the usual
oanterlng began.
"Well, SAM" said the cook, chow about
that venture9"

Sam.

"Guess again."

"oh, it's no use your guessing. That
lawfully ugly hoss" brought $4,000, besides
the $4,000 l won on him at the races. So
you fellers had better shut up and say no
more about Sam Varneys venture.
And they did shut up. Sam, on the pas
sage home was treated with marked re-
spect. The worst that was said of him by
the sailors, was-"Cute feller, that Sam

Science is still ceaselessly working on to
results still more surprising. The last adj
vance, which has just been made in this
city, is a very large one. Until now, the
microscope magnitied an object not more
than 200, 600 times its size, and very few
microscopsts ever saw such power. The
President of the Royal Society of England
last summer showed a shell magnified H.
900, 900 times, and this excited the astonish-
ment of microscopsts throughout the
world. But the new optical combination
Just completed in this city exhibits the
same object under the enlargement of o.

an ordinary domestic fly could be seen en-
tire under such magnification, it would

miles high, and Il lady's hair would reach

The Leisure Hour.
RDTC.ITE.yG n HUSBAND.
A DOMESTIC SKETCH.

Mr.. Harry Allison, after hard days tug
at his business, was snugly ensconced in
wrapper and slippers, and seated in his
own particular lounging chair, by his own
fireside, and if a man cannot take some
comfort under such circumstances, there is
little use in looking for ii elsewhere.
Mr.. Harry evidently did take some COM
fort, for as he stretched his six feet of man
hood comfortably out in the chair, to toast
his toes at the fire, he exclaimed, with
sh ow of profound satisfaction,
We'll, this is pleasant, sure enough
Mr.. Harry was quite right. The little
parlor was the prettiest and cosiest Of cosy
rooms, furnished with perfect neatness, in
most excellent taste. The fire snapped and
cracked away most merrily in the open
CRATE, the lamp burned brightly upon the
cri mson- covered work stand, and prettiest
and neatest of all, Nora, Harry's little six
months wife, sat on the opposite side of the
table, with some light work in her hands.
Mr.. Harry himself was not an unpleasant
part of that picture. Tall, handsome,
broad of breast and strong of limb, one Of
the kind of men it makes you glad to look
at, nobody would have been to blame if
they did look at him. And being of mem
tai and moral composition in keeping with
his looks, it is no matter of wonder that
pretty, brown-eyed Nora Lewis fell vic
tim to his charms, and after years court
ship, consented to be led to the bymenial
altar and become Mrs. Harry Allison.
Now, don't intend you shall infer from
my flatterng description that Mr.. Harry
was masculine piece of perfection. Far
from it. Like most of his brother lords OF
creation, he had faults in abundance, as
little Nora soon discovered. But that wise
! title woman had quiet way of managing
her worser half in his tantrums, which had
quite cured him of some of them.
The one which gave her the most trouble
was propensity he had for leaving things
lying around loose, in a fashion not agreea-
BILE to an orderly little person like herself
and for insttuting places in which TO be-
stow some of his personal belongings, ia
which she had decided objections.
Indeed, at this very moment though hei
| face was calm and sweet, little Nora wa,
| somewhat wearied and sore, inwardly, and
strongly inclined to be provoked at hel
liege lord. And the cause of her grevanc,
was nothing more than pretty pair o.
slippers, worked by her own busy fingers
which now adorned his reposing feet. o.
rather it was slight phase of masculine
peryerseness, exhibited through pair o
slippers.
Mr.. Harry had fallen into convention
fashion of leaving his slippers under tn
parlor sofa in order to have them handy
Nora did not admire them as an ornamen

WHAT'S DIRTP-Old DIR. Cooper, ofSeuth
Carol ina, used to say to his students, "Don't
be afraid of dirt, young gentlemen. What
is.dirt9 Why, nothing at all offensive,
when chemically viewed. Rub little al
kali upon the dirty greese spot upon your
coat, and it uudergoes a chemical change
and becomes soap; now rub it with little
water and it disappears; it is neither
greese, soap, water, nor dirt. That is not a
very odorous pile of dirt you see yonder;
well, scatter little gypsum over it and 1t
is no longer dirty. Every thing like dirt is
worthy your notice as students Of chemis-
try. Analyze it 1t will separate into very
clean elements. Dirt makes corn, corn
makes bread and meat, and that makes
very sweet young lady that saw one of you
kissing last night. So after all, you were

her face with chalk or fuller's earth Il ough
| may say that rubbing such stuff upon the
beautiful skin of a young lady is dirty

bismuth, nothing but dirt" Lord Palm
erstons fine definition of dirt is, "Matter in
the wrong place" Put it in the fright

Nora were sufficient to complete his ed

And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom.

Who fed her fathers kine7
