Not long since, at aprivate entertainment
Bret Harte told the following story: ga
teamster went courling girl who was a
good church member, and while in her com
pany, being on his very best behavior, he
was careful not to use any language which
would shock the exceeding proper ears OF
his sweetheart. But one day, driving up II
hill, he burst forth into the most obnrgative
address to his animals, never dreaming that
the object of his affection was standing hy
The roadside listening to his profanity. Bur
when she opened upon him the batteries of
reproof, he knew she was there. But he
held his ground. "Do you call that swear
ing?" said he. eff you do, don't know
what you'd say if you heard the fellow jist
behind me exhort an impenitent mule"

MuL1oNArREs. Within the past ten years,
according to the London Spectator, ten persons
have died in England, leaving property sworn
to be worth over five millions of dollars; fifty
three leaving an estate valued at over two mil
lions FIVE hundred thousand dollars, and one
hundred and sixty.one whose entire assets
amounted to more than one million. We are
ready for the Richmond Enquirer, whose squlb
about modern riches and the wealth OF many
of the old Roman mobiles, went the rounds OF
the press sometime ago. We have fancy
that the manner Of estimating fortune IN
those old DAYS was not the most accurate III the
world and that if some Of those Roman no.
bles, and ancient Egyptian governors, had to
pay that cheerful institution, the income tax,
their money bags would show sudden col
lapse. In connection with its notice, the Spec
tator states as curious fact:
''Tho millioaaires of o-day, like the old ltal-
ian mobiles, are maniacs for collecting. A quiet
man. whose name is unknown three streets OF,
will produce to his intimatcs collection OF
sapphires no crowned head could rival. An.
