DITTO.

An honest old farmer, rather ignorant
of the improved method of abbreviation,
went to certain store, at which he did
his trading, to make his annual settle
ment.
On looking over the bill, he occa-
sionally found charges like the follow
ing:
"To one pound tea, to lib. ditto.
Not knowing the meaning of the term
ditto, he concluded the account was not
correct, and posted off home to inquire
into the affair.
"Wife," said he, "this is a pretty
business. There is Mr.. =, who has
charged me with pound of ditto. Now,
I should like to know what you have
done with so much ditto"
"Ditto, ditto" replied the old lady,
"I never had a pound of ditto in my
house in my life"
SO back went the farmer in high
dudgeon, that he should be charged
with things he had never received.
MIR. -" said he, "my wife says
she never had pound of ditto IN the
house in her life"
The merchant thereupon explained
the meaning of the term, and the farmer
went home satisfied.
His wife inquired if he had found out
the meaning of ditto.
Yes," said he, :" it means Tn id
fool, and you're ditto -

THE WOES OF A DANBURY LOVER.

THE WOES OF "A DANBURf LOVER.
Since Mr.. O'Clarence's Fourth of
July celebration, North street has been
comparatively quiet. But last night it
was again aroused 1t appears that one
of our Main street clerks is keeping
company with young lady living on
North street. And her father is OPP
posed to his society, or at least that has
been the impression since fortnight
ago, when he poured tea-kettle of hot
water on him. But, having healed the
burns, the young man determined to
capture the girl in spite of the parent,
and laid plans for IN elopement, which
was to have come off last night. The
stern parent received intelligence of the
plan through the perfdy of the servant,
who had been taken into the confidence
of the young people, and he concealed
himself in the shade of lilac-bush,
Just under the window Of the depraved
daughter. At twelve o'clock the young
man approached the spot, standing 30
close to our friend in the lilac bush that
he could almost touch him, and could
quite smell the sweet oil. A moment
later head appeared at the window,
brief whispered conversation followed,
and comforting bundle of things were
dropped down, and the head retired.
The young man, whose skin was of in
places, and who was undoubtedly think
ing of angels chasing pond-lilies across
rain-bows, held his hands up to catch
the bundle, when he became suddenly
aware that he was gripped by the legs,
and in the next instant he was hurled
through the air, and went nose first into
an onion bed. When he got on his feet
he did not pause to louk up the cause Of
the trouble, but threw himself over the
first fence, and struck for home, con-
tent to wait until the poper came out,
for the particulars. The first intima-
ton of the modification of the pro-
gramme was the appearance of her
father at her door, who politely extend
ed the bundle and kindly observed /:
"You dropped something out Of your
window, miss" She had.-Danbury

ACCORDING to an italian journal, the
Pope's private fortune appears to be
little larger than the temporal dominion
that remains to him. His pontificate
seems not to have added anything to
his worldly wealth. All that he owns
is his patrimony and the furniture OF
his private apartments in the Vatican.
This furniture includes large and very
valuable collection of works of art. He
has beaueathed nearly everything to the
eldest son of his brother, Count Louis
Mastai- Ferreti, the Counts child by a
princess of the Drago family. Special
legacies are left to distant relatives and
to favorite servants.

HEX DETER MINED CHOICE

"henembcr. Wife, Did Not Coax You"
Do You wish to speak TO me, Mrs.
Harvey?" said Mr.. Wentworth to his
housekeeper, as he glanced up from the
morning paper and saw her slowly and
deliberately arranging the sideboard,
and wiping few imperceptible specks
of dust from the glasses.
"Ahem ahem Yes, Mr.. Wentworth,
if you please"
swell, Mrs. Harvey?
He laid down the paper, knowing the
good woman to be usually rather prolix
In her speeches, but this morning she
came suddenly to the point.
"H you can spare me, sir, should
like TO leave your service"
"To leave And Aimee-Miss Ro-
chelle-so lately returned"
"Why, you see, sir, when Miss
Aimee was at school, and only here
during the vacation, it was another mat
ter; but now she has come to reside
with you, and is quite grown-up young
lady,"
What can have occurred, Mrs. Har
vey? had hoped you looked upon my
house as your home"
"Thank you, sir, and Mrs. Harvey
smiled at the implied compliment; "and
shall be sorry to inconvenience You !;
hut, of course, Miss Aimee will in future
keep the keys and give the orders, and 1
never was used to have lady over me,
be she ever SO nice SO, if you please, 1
prefer to leave"
Certainly; by all means, Mrs. Har-
rey."
And it was settled that the housekeep-
er should resign her trust upon that day
week.
The pleasant morning room opened
by glass door on the lawn, and trained
around and overshadowing the panes,
mingled clustering rose and fragrant
honeysuckle; but brighter and sweeter
even than they was the fair young face
which peeped within. Then Aimee Ro-
chelIe entered, her hands filed with the
flowers she had gathered.
"Oh, dear guardyr r. she cried, II
feared that you would coax her to re-
mainl"
"What coax woman, Aimee That
is species of argument would not re-
sort to with you; though I fear the
pleasure of your coming home will be
lessened until we can replace her, for
Bridget is young and inexperienced.
But don't trouble yourself about Mrs.
Harvey; Bridget and 1 shall get on fa-
I mously."
! If Mr.. Wentworth did not approve of
/ the coaxing system, his ward was of an
other opinion, for she went into the
kitchen and begged Mrs. Harvey to let
her make that days dessert, and also,
under superintendent, some excellent
cake, for which the housekeeper was
justly celebrated, and she charged
Bridget to allow nothing in the culinary
Preparations to escape her notice.
And SO the week passed on, until, one
morning, Mrs. Harvey's trunks were al
in the hall, ready corded, and she-her
band full of fresh, crisp notes-was
courtesying and smiling her way out of
Nj. Wentworth's study"
All, tl4en,p exclaimed the honest,
oatspoken Irish girl, "and may her
Shadow never darken our doors again
am glad che is gone, Miss Aimee. It's
yourself ] would rather have any day for
TIE mis- Cess"
You won't find me a hard one,

Once, Ger her sseaider, white and fair.
Had fallen her trssses of DARK brown hair

Is rIany aud many a silvered thread

Her SAite cap cunningly covers.
WITT her slippered feet on the fender, there,
ANo her elbows resting upon her chair,
She gazes into the fire;
With fingers open and wrists turned in,
Forming prop for her toothless chin,
She thinks of pleasures that might have been,
As she watches the sparks expire.
Fair are the faces that come and go
In the rosy embers that CLEAN and glow,
And memories, sweet and tender,
Flare in the flames, and leap and play,
Flicker and fade, as they die away,
Leaving nothing but ashes gray
On the cold hearth by the fender
A1< gazing into the cheerful blaze,
Tlsresa thinks of her byg ne days,
And memories without number
Rise in her niind-then her eyelils close,
And, soon beginning to nod and doze,
Her somnolent senses court repose,
