mighty smart and Just carried folks
away with her mellinuons voice, by

behold her, and the sweet pain Of anxiety
that cut to our hearts quick was in no de-
gree mltlgated when we found that about.

boys got upa 1me on two to pay the IG-

the CONCERT, and seemed to be infinitely
more pleasing to fair Miss Ellie, whose vo-

As to the elderly lady. yclcpt mamma, it
appeared Ns if her time was absorbed in
notifying the gentlemen how smart Ellie
was, and how the gentlemen everywhere

complislments.
Next morning the elderly songStrcss
and her daughter proposed to give another
concert, but inasmuclSas the Courthouse
could not be had for less than about fiji
teen dollars, and the weather was I'M
promising. and the concert the night pre-
vious was rather boisterous, and the re-

The climate of Peru is set forth by
correspondent as exceedingly peculiar
and strange. 1t never rains there, we
are told, but during certain seasons, and
when the atmosphere is filed with clouds
"dew falls SO thick, heavy and continu.
Gus that it will saturatc the heaviest
clothing in less than half an hour" The
coming and going Of the clouds that
distill this dew is another strange thing
connected with Peru. The changes are
reported so rapid and violent as to startle
the stranger. One may be walking along
the street, glorying in the rich warmth
of the sunshine, and admiring the deep.
clear blue sky, when suddenly, and
almost imperceptib'y, change takes
place, "and from the southwark mass
of dark clouds come rolling swiftly
across the armament, and soon the blue
sky is replaced by sombre pail, and to
the glorious sunshiLe succeeds drizzling
penetrating mist" And this is also as
suddenly changed again; even while one
is preparing to guard against the mist.
the sunlight and the ky reappear IN all
their brig shtness and beauty.

The hopelcssness of any ones accom-
plishing anything without plack is illus
trated by an old East India fable. A
mouse that dwelt near the abode Of u
great magician wus kept in such constant
distress by tho fear of cat, that ta.
magician, taking pity on it, turned it into
o cat itself. Immediately it began to
suffer from its fear of dog, SO the ma
gician turned it into dog. Then it
began to suffer from fear Of tiger, and
the magician turned it into tiger. Then
it began to suffer from its fear of hunts
men. and the magician in disgust said ,
BE mouse again. As you have only
the heart of mouse, it is impossible to
help you by giving you the body Of o
noblsr animal" And the poor creature
again became mouse.
1t is the same with the mouse hearted
man. He may be clothed with the pow
ers, and placed in tho position Of brave
men, but he will always act like . mouse
aud public opinion is the great magician
that finally says to such a person, "Go
back to your obscurity again. You have
only the heart Of a mouse, and it is use.
less to try to make lion out Of you.
