He is tearfullS ugly, and has nervousness

Swidburne lives with his father, a short
distance cut of town. Every now and
then he escapes fLom rigid parental
authority, takes run to to London and
has what he cal "a time We would
call it spree. But he seems to have
the kindest feelings for his fellow mems
To see this famous poet write is terrible
experience. He took SUDDEN inspira-
ton in my room one day and, without a
word of explanation or apology, seated
himself at my writing-tablr, displaced
all my things and commenced writing
His whole face worked vehemently; he
pounded steadily with his left hand on
the table, and his feet kept time in uni

DANBURY JAM.

1t is said that there is a boy il
Concord, N. H., who can repeat the
multiplication table backwards, ano
he is only nine years old. We know
that boy. We were never in Con
cord, but we know him. We lived
next door TIC that boy when we were
a boy, and it is not so long ago but
that we remember him distinctly.
He always went to bed at s o'clock,
and had slight cough. He brushed
his hair back of his ears, and carried
store handkerchief, and when he
played marbles it was to win. He
always got home from school before
we did, and employed the interval in
detailing to his mother the "beltin'"
that boy next door was getting.
And indeed we were getting it, but
there was no special interest in it for
other folks. He was the model boy,
the boy our parents used to point
to, and speak of in tones Of mingled
admiration and regret, while unfit
ting us for sitting on anything harder
than poultice. He never ran away
from school, nor stole money, but he
usel to throw mud on old people
when they weren't looking, and un-
selfshlY throw the credit on us. And
then to see that boy come around
into our yard with jam on his bread |!
that was the last teather-that was
the climax to all the sorrows our
young heart knew. We could have
willingly forgiven every thing else,
but that jam upset us. 1t went right
down into our hearts of hearts, and
it rankles there yet. It sent us into
the house bawling for jam, and get
ting it, but not on our bread. We
remember that with CHASTITY distinct
ness.-Danbury WeaoS.

Ideal Feet. The greatest classic.

Ideal Feet.-The greatest classic
al writes of antiquity-Horace,
Catullus, and others-who had great
appreciation of feminine beauty, new
er mentioned, in the descriptions of
their beloved, their small feet. The
people belonging to the Celtic race
have small feet; the Hindoos especilly
have such feet and hands that they
may be envied by many European
countesses. The native troops of the
English army in India possess in
England their own armory. whose
peculiar kinds of weapons are con-
structed for them. swordhiIts made
for them are much too small for us to
grasp with ease The greatest beau
ties of Europe-the ltaIians-have
really long and broad feet.

THE PERSIAN METHOD OF
COLLECTING ADEPT.

The Persian creditor having once
determined to get his money calls
for it early in the morning, and can
not be persuaded to go away till it
is paid. He brings his carpet with
him and sits down in his debtors
bedroom, eating, drinking, sleeping
and smoking there till he is bought
off. Some years ago, not many, a
Persian had, or fancied that he had,
a claim on the English Foreign Of
flee. So one day he travelled away
from Teheran, and, after many
strange adventures, arrived in Lon
don, taking his carpet with him, and
fully prepared to sit upon the For
eign Office, which he supposed to
be person, till he was satisfied.
Lord Palmerston was Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs at that
time, and took the thing good hui
moredly; but Mr.. Hammond, the
Under Secretary of State, who is a
Sharp-tempered gentleman, and was
already high up in office, was for
calling policeman.
The practice of "sitting upon
man." as it is called, universally pre-
walls in Persia, and it is not easy to
deal with it. Still it may be dealt
with, and Sir John Mcneil, a shrewed
old Scotch diplomatist, who was once
accredited to the Persian Court,
contrived to get rid of a Persian
who had tried to sit upon him by a
rather clever device.
At the New Year, which is kept
as great festival in Persia, relig-
ious mendicants go about, not so
much asking for aims as insisting
upon fixed sum. They generally
tax a foreign ambassador rather
highly, and one Of them. a dervis,
demanded an extravaganza sum from
Sir John Mcneil. The Scotch di-
plomatist offered to compromise with
him for any reasonable amount, but
his offer was refused, and, as he would
not give him more, the dorvis proceeded
to sit upon him. He established him.
selfin Sir Johns garden, just before his
study windows, and every now and then
during the day and when he woke up at
night this dervis set up q hnrrid hula
bsloo, and blew a cracked trumpet as if
the judgment day was come. Sir John
who did not like to have his rest disturb
ed in this way, determined to put stop
to TIE dervis' tricks, and eject him by
force; but he was solemnly warned by
the Persian authorities that it would be
dangerous to lay hands upon the dervis.
Get rid of him if you can," said they,
laughing, as they are wont to do at a
minister's perp exity, "but do not touch
him"
VERY we'll" said Sir John, dryly; and
he sent for bricklayer
Build me wall round that bowling
beggar IN my garden" said Sir John to
the brickIayet, land then roof it I'M"
The dervis looked on composedly while
the wall rose slowly around him, and
made more noise than eve r; but when he
perceived that they really meant to shut
him up in a-tomb saliye he jumped over
the lowest part of the wall and rushed
away like maniac. Sir John was prob
ably the only European who ever cot the
better of dervis-HerdLd
