above named articles aud gil them up with

them to wherever she might reside, and
in q few days your newl y-made bride

nothing left but a few stones, Re, which,
my friends, you all know would be very

stones and brick bats instead Of greonbacks,
though, If the hard substance is what you
are looking for, you would certainly have
it. But, in case you will not take the nd

Anecdotes.

An American, sojourning in Constantinople,
carrying piece Of fine cloth to tailor, desired
to have CLOAK and tunic made Of it, and en-
uuired if their was enough The artist having
measured the stuff, declared it sufficient and
then requested to know the cost Of it.
Five sequins, replied the customer, was
the price and, considering the quality, that is
not at all dear"
The tailor paused a moment.

the gentleman, at length, and mony is an OBJ
iect to me. Give me two seqpines, and | will
show you how you may save three in this .aE

FIVE sequinS, and have promised TO save you
three Take it to some other tailor, and Al

and if attempt it, it will be spoiled"
This reminds us Of an anecdote related of
| Sheridan, who went to hair dresser's to or

who was liberal soul, invited the orator to
take some refreshment in an inner room.
Here he showed him 50 much genuine hoSpi-
tality that Sheridan's heart was touched.
When they rose from the table, and were
about separating, the latter, looking the bar
Der full in the face, said, "On rejecting,

Astonished, and with a blank visage, the other
exclaimed, " Good heaven 4Ir. Sheridan, how

MOTTO BE BEATEN-A New Hampshire man
and man from Ohio chanced to meet at pub
lie dinner in New York. The man from Ohio
suggested to MIN of the Granite State that it
might be advantageous to him to remove to the
West, especially if he proposed to follow the
pursuit of a farmer. The Yankee could not
see it there was no State in the Union equal
to New Hampshire. lie of the Buckeye State
could not agree to this. Ohio was inferior to
New Hampshire in no respect, while in many
respects she was superior The Yankee deman
ded to know a superior feature. The Buckeye
commenced to enumerate, but as fast as he pre-
sented his claims Of superiority, his antagonist
unhesitatngly swept them away by bold and
vigorous declarations to the contrary. At
length, when all other sources of argument had
been exhausted the Buckeye confidently OBJ
served You will at least allow that Ohio
Justly claims superiority over New Hampshire
! in point of the extent of her territory?" mo,
sir!'' promptly and emphatcally responded
the Yankee. Your State spreads out because
it is fat Look at the mountains of New
Hampshire! Goodness mercy just roll 'em
cut fat and they'd make territory enough to
cover up the whole of Ohio and fill up big
slice of Lake Erie!

AN OLD LADY's ADVICE" Now, John,
listen to me, for | am older than you are, or
couldn't he your mother. Never do you marry
young woman, John, before you have con
triyed to happen at the house at least four
times before breakfast. You should know how
late she lies in bed in the morning. You
should take notice whether her complexion is
the same in the morning as in the evening, or
if the washbowl and towl have robbed her of
her evening bloom. You should take care to
surprise her, SO that you can see her in her
morning dress, and observe her occupation
when she is not expecting you. If possible,
you should be where you could plainly hear the
morning conversation between her and her
mother. If she is ill-natured and snappish to
her mother, so she will be to you, depend upon
it. But if you find her up and neatly dressed
in the morning, with the same countenance,
the same smiles, the same neatly combed hair
the same ready and pleasant answers to hcl
mother which characterized her department IL
the evening, and particularly if she is lending
a hand to get the breakfast ready in good sea
son, she is great prize, John and the sooner
you secure her to yourself the better.

her poor relations, or the hand Of an honest

will not contound hypocrisy with politeness

TuE THRONE OF CHARLEMAGNE.-A pecu-
liarly romaatic interest has been given to the
proceedings at the opening of the German Par
lament by the fact that the Emperor William
fgurative seat of empire. but the actual chair
which his great predecessor once occupied.
The chair in question has been for years one
of the sights of the Cathedral of Aix-la-
Chapelle. 1t is not very gorgeous throne in
itself but is of undoubted interest. Victor
Hugo, in his book on the Rhine published
many years ago-grows quite enthusiastic over
this relic. The Emperor William, however,
did not complete his work. He might have
taken the iron crown Of Charlemague from the
Austria other insignia of the imperial rank Of
Germany which were conveyed to Vienna in
the latter part of the last century.

Duties seem great or small, according to the
spirit or way in which they are performed. A
mean, ignoble mind tosses off with a sneer a
deed which magnanimous soul would per
form so sweetly and so nobly as to charm who.
ever saw it done, and leaves the recollection OF
| il as precious possession forever. A cold,
selfish nature gives guinea in a spirit so petty,
and way so cruel, that its value shrinks to a
| farthing, while generous one gives a farth-
ing so that it is felt to be worth guinea.
