The HumOrs of MOviug.

The first Sunday in the new house
notable day. There is an entire
absence Of old land marks, and
strange, weird newness on everything,
and you can't find your shaving soap,
You start for scut,le Of coal, but you
don't see the scuttle. 1t is in the bot
tom of barrel in the garret. You
take the dripping-pan. When you
change your shirt you look for it first.
1t is in one of the bureau drawers,
which are piled one upon another in
the pallor, and you find you have got
to lift half ton Of carpets and feather
beds before You can get down to the
drawers. After you have lifted them
down and searched them through, it
is remembered by your wife that the
1esired garment is in one Of the bar
rcls-the one in the shed, she thinks,
although it may be the one in the gar
ret, and yet it would be just like the
stupid carman to have carried that
barrel down-cellar. A bed-quit comes
our first, then a pie-tin, next piece
Of cold ham, neatly done up in your
vest and packed away in the missing
cattle. Below is an assortment of
iron ware and length of stovepipe,
half loaf otbread, a couple Of towels,
aid rolling-pin. You begin to ex-
pact you will eventually come upon
coal-mine, and re haps some dead
friend. Then you go down in
that barrel again, and come up with a
pleasing assortment Of stockings and
half emptied medicine bottles The
way you come up this time leads you
TO consider the barrel itself 1t has
caught in the back of your vest, and
made the cloth let 90 it took off one
half Of one sleeve, and created a sensa-
ton on the back Ct your hand as if a
bonfire had ragged there, 1t is quite
evident the cooper who built that bar
rel was called away before he COM
menced to clinch the nails. You in
voluntarily grasp the rolling-pin and
look around as if you had expected to
see him, Then you call the girl to
repack the barrel, and start up stairs
to look after something that is easier
to find, but finally change your mind,
and pass the balance of the day in
digging carpet tacks and worthless
wood from the palms Of your feet, and
connecting lies about the wealth of
your uncle; and the moon looks
through the window at night, and
touches up with Il glow of FURNISHED
silver several lengths of stovepipo, a
half dozen odd chairs, sheet of dingy
zinc, and a barrel with bed-quilts foam
ing over the top -DanJury Ne,cs.

The bank of England covers five
acres of ground and employs nine hun
dred clerks, and should a clerk be too
Old for service, he is discharged on
half pay for the rest of his life There
are no windows on the street. Light
is admitted through open courts; no
mob could take that bank, therefore,
without cannon to batter the immense
walls. The clcck in the centre of the
bank has fifty dials attached to it.
Large cisterns are sunk in the court,
and engines in perfect order are al
ways in rediness in case of fire. This
bank was incorporated in 1854. Capt.

"A beautiful young girl was mar
ripd in San Francisco lately, and az
the conclusion of the marriage cere-
mony she turned to her husband and
said, George, kiss me, | am dying
The husband complied with the re-
quest, and at that moment the young
bride fell dead to the floor.

VERY ABSENT M1NDED.-Some of

VERY Assent M1NDED.-Some of
the papers are telling story about an
absen; minded man who invited a
party to his house to dinner. Just
b fore their arrival he went up stars
to charge his dress. He forgot all
about them, thought its was bedtime,
and got into led. A servant who en-
tered his room to tell him his guests
were waiting for HIM found him fast
asleep. We know of man who is
more absent-minded than that. 1t is
Byng lie is so absent-minded that
he mistook the hired girl for his wife,
the other morning, in the entry, and
kissed her earnestly several times.
Ills wife is also remarkable for her
absence of mind. And when she OBJ
served Byng, she suddenly dropped
the coal-scut lie from the second story
on his head, and then slid down the
bannister at the rate of mile min
ute, and lighted among the hired girls
chignon, which she dlsheveled with
the fire shovel before she remembered
where she was. These phenomena of
the human soul are particularly inter
esting to the scientific observer-more
interesting, indeed, than they are to
Byng. whose forehead wears a scar
into which the edge OF the coal-scuttle
fits With surprising cXactness.

EXPERIENCE WITH AN iNQUIsITIvE
TRAvELER.-We had got past one or
two stations, when a tall, broad-should-
cred, farmer looking fellow GOT into
the car, and without a "By your

way, that | didn't care if it was. Af-
ter a while he reached his long neck

let the remark pass without reply, de-.
termned he should not draw me out.
After some miles he again spoke
"Killed q hog last night. "Well,
what's that to me?' I said, "Guess

"Guess ag'in," after pause. "Well,

lenge to guess had triAe of interest
in it, but in a moment, ashamed OF
having shown any at all, thrust my
head out of the window, awaiting my
sturdy associates further advance.

He was staring out of the window,

His face didn't change a muscle,
though I thought his eye looked a
trihe mischievous, as hereplied, 'Don't

tunately for my peace of mind he got
out at the next station.
A WESTERN ITEM.--In Colorado

called "soapweed" and many are the
mishaps that strangers and summer
tourists encounter. How it works
may be inferred from what happened

she felt weary and looked around hel
