he will be under the care of man who

"a man who is courageous, hopeful, the
soul of honor; possessing all those quail

boy will follow him TO death. He will
cling to him with admiration and strive
to initiate him. While he follows him
like a dog, he will scorn all his dishon-

victim. One remarkable property Of
this figure (said to have been discovered
by Mr.. Green, who died in 1874, is that
all through the multiplication the pro-
duet OF nine comes to nine. Multiply
by what you like and it gives the same
result. Begin with twice nine, IS; add
the digits together, ard l and 8 make o.
Three time nine are q and 2 and are
9. So it goes on up to eleven times nine

digits, Q and 9 are Is, and s and are 8.
Going on to any extent it is impossible
to get rid OF the figure nine. Take a

A ShOOlbOy'S Idea Of Hugs.

A hog is big pig, but pig anti big
hog. There is three kinds of hogs-white
hogs, black hogs and two-legged hogs
The contrariest hog is the black hog,
and the meanest of all hogs is the two
legged hog. If you want to drive a
hog anywhere, you must drive 'em
the contrary way. Hogs is like women
in that respect, you can drive them bet

Women wear earrings in their cars, hogs
wcar'em in their nose. Daddy says
that's SO they can't nose it. Hogs is
very useful. A hogs head holds water,
and his. tail makes nice whistle; but
daddy says you can't make silk purse
ont OF pigs ear. A hog has ten legs,
two forclegs, that's eight, and two hind
legs, that's ten. Folks call 'cm hams.
Daddy likes ham the best; he says
he has had cold shoulder so often he is
tired of it. Some hogs is lat and some
isn't; good hog always has curly
tail. Daddy says it is like the Esq. to
a mans name, moro for ornament than
else. Dadd's hog was fat once,
but he anti now. Daddy had to tie a knot
in his tail to keep him from crawling
through the boards Of the pen. He got

many little hogs. Daddy says that she

firm friends. He :oid her he could not

her before, at which she laughed and
said that.was the impression obtained
from all sympathetic natures. Their
cordial relations continued for a good

mirer received letter from an intimate
ACQUAINTANCE in Boston, informing him
that his friend bad, some time before,
married an eccentric woman, Mrs. -,
who had the reputation of having been
several times divorced.
This set the admirer to thinking and

The result was that he dis
covered beyond question that Mrs. -,
the wife of his friend, had, seven years
before, been his own wife, from whom
he had obtained legal divorce for good
six months after their union.
Anxious to corroborate this, he went to
Mrs. and asked her if it was not so.
She replied in the affirmative, and said,
without hesitation, that she recognized
him from the first, but did not care to
impart any knowledge he did not him
self possess.
She had been literally in the divorce
business, having had no less than seven
ieges in twelve years. She understood
The art of making herself look young,
