Professional PeculiaritieS.

A Texas paper has been studying
what it calls professional peculiarities,
or the tendency of man to identify
himself with his business, and gives
some interesting results. A New York
lawyer is instanced who, in his zeal to
use old Weller's pet legal weapon, an
abb, roared forth:
We can prove that at the very time
we We're accused of perpetrating this
dreadful deed, we were serving out a
term OF Imprisonment for larceny" In
Pelham the same trait is noticed in
the fashionable tailor, who remarks to
his customer, We are q little narrow

while an equally fashionable bootmaker
says, = We have bunyon on the great,

Among the first to avail of the pres
ent wonderful facilities for making a
voyage around the world was a Boston
gentleman, graduate of TECHNOLOGY
cal institution, who accomplished his
tour and his eighteenth year at about
the same time. The Traveller thus notes
his iourneyings: After visiting Ger
many during the Franco-Prussian war,
Switzerland, Italy, England etc, he left
London in January last, by steamer for
Alexandria. Before leaving for the
East. ne made brief visit to CONSTANT
nople, returning to Alexandra by way
of Athens. Starting from Alexandria
he visited the pyramids from Cairo,
taking steamer down the Red sea and
across the Arabian sea to Bombay;
thence by land across IIindostan to
Hyderabad and Calcutta, from whence
he went to the Himalayan mountains
He afterward visited Madras, Ceylon,
Singapore, Hong Kong and Canton, and
thence to Yokohama, in Japan. From
Yokohama 10y steamer across the Pa
citic ocean to san Francisco. Thence,
after visiting the Yo Semitic Valley,
Salt Lake City, the Mammoth Cave, and
Washington, he reached home the
present week, having occupied about
eight months IN his circuit around the
earth, from Boston eastward back to
Boston again. About three hundred
miles Of the route through IImdostan
we're accomplished by a bullock team,
at the rate of two or three miles per
hour. In this country the travellers
were repeatedly attacked by robbers,
and it was only by the active application
of their revolvers that they were able to
protect themselves from robbery and
murder. At Yokohama our young
traveller was joined by another graduate
of our Psychological College, who
crossed the Pacific ocean with him,
visited the Yo Semitic Valley, enjoyed a
short hunting excursion on the great
Laramie plains, in the territory of
Wyoming, and separated in Nebraska.

IGNATIA.
The little basket chaise drew up before
the porch of the stone house, and the young
lady who held the reins tossed them to 81
stable lad who was at hand, and aiighted,
helping out little child. The two ran
lightly up the steps.
The hall was deserted when the pair en-
tered it.
"Where's Aunty Jacob?' cried the young
mother, in a gay, sweet voice. Her chair IS
empty. Shall we find her?'
She moved lightly across the floor, and
then her eyes suddenly resting upon the
grand figure and stern face of the returned
soldier, she came to an abrupt malt. cry
of terror and horror strangely mingled,
came from her white lips. Her face
blanched her limbs trembled; she painted
for breath
The father and daughter stood face to face
after separation of nine long years
The Cole mel scarcely recognized the sal
low, romping little creature he had left, in
| this magnificent woman. Her tall AVID
slender figure was instinct with a stately
grace. Her every movement indicated re
tinement and thorough breeding.
The Colonel did not move toward her,
nor did the sternness Of his countrIauce re
lax.
His daughter took a step toward him. a
cruel agitation convulsing her frame. Her
arms dropped, and her hands We're clasped
together. 1t seemed as if she would have
knelt before him.
"Father! o, fatherl" she cried, in an
anguished appeal. 90 Father, speak to me !"
That pleading cry went to the Colonel's
soul. He forgot his daughters error, re-
membering that she was his child-hs only
child. His heart melted within him. lie
silently opened his arms, and with gasp
ing, cry, lgnatia sprang forward and was
folded to his breast.
For little while there was silence be-
tween them, broken only by the girls sobs
and the soft caresses the Colonel showered
upon her head and face Then he drew her
to sofa, still EMBEDDING her in his arms.
"Father,' whispered Ignatia, brokenly,
ado you know? Has Aunt Jacob told
YOU"
" l know all, my daughter" answered the
Colonel, gently.
"And you forgive me? You will not
cease to love me?"
The father answered only by soft caress.
Her terror and anguish aroused his tender
ness and pity, and he had never in all her
life loved her with such yearning love as
he felt for her at this moment when she lay
trembling against his breast.
"Aunt Jacob has told me of your mar
riage, Ignatia," he said Will not upbraid
you for keeping the matter a secret from me
all these years. How long is it since you
saw Captain Holm %
cit is nearly three years, father" was the
low reply. " have not seen him since the
child was three months old
