THE CUNNING COBBLER.

a somewhat amusing incident is
told Of woman whose husband. a
wealthy man died suddenly without
leaving any will. The widow DESTROYS
of securing the whole of the property
concealed her husbands death, and
persuaded a poor shoemaker to take
his place, when will could bemade.
Accordingly he was closely muffled in
bed as if very sick, and lawyer was
called in to write the will. The shoe
maker in a feeble voice, bequeathed
half of all the property to the widow.
What shall be done with the remain
der ? asked the lawyer. Remainder
replied he Il give and bequeath to the
poor little shoemaker across the
street, who has always been a good
neighbor and a deserving man;' thus
securing a rich bequest for himself.
The widow was thunderstruck with
the mans audacious cunning, but did
not dare to expose the fraud, so two
rogues shared the estate.

$50 you have finished your studies
at the Seminary was much pleas
ed with the closing exercises. The
author of that poem-Miss White, I
think you called her-bids fair to be-
come known as poet"
"We think the authoress will be-
come celebrated as poetess,'' re-
marked the young lady pertly, with a
marked emphasis on two words of the
"Oh-ah," replied the old gentle
man looking thoughtfully over his
gold spectacles at the young lady.
81 hear his sister was quite an actress,
an under Miss Hosmer's instruction
will undoubtedly become quite a sculp-
toress."
The young lady appeared irritated.
"The Seminary, continued the old
gentleman, with imperturable gravity,
els fortunate in having an efficient
board of manageresses. From the
Presidentess down to the humblest
teacheress, unusual talent is shown.
There is Miss Harper, who,as a chem
istress,is unequaled, and Mrs. Knowles
has already reputation as an astron-
omeress. And in the department of
music few can equal Miss Kellogg as
a singeress.
The young lady did not appear to
like the chair she was sitting on. She
took the sofa at the other end of the
room.

man, as if talking to himself, "those
White sisters are very talented. Ma
ry, | understand, has turned her at
tention to painting and the drama, and
will surely bee me famous as an act
ress and painteress, and even now as
lecturess"-
A loud slamming of the door caus
ed the old gentleman to look up, and
the criticess and grammarianess was
gone!

Bnt how is it that horse, that
consumes eight times as much food
and has eight times as much power
or force of a man, only costs as much
as one man annually,or 16s per week?
I suppose it is because he wears no
clothes, except Natures, drinks no
sugared tea, coffee, bear, spirits, or
milk; smokes no pipe, eats no meat,
butter, cheese or bread ; has no wash
ing or mending bill; his shoes are Of
iron instead Of leather; pen, ink, pa
per and postage stamps, newspapers
or books form no part of his expendi-
ture; has no doctors bill to paw. and
no family to feed, clothe and educate :;
births, marriages and burials are to
him cost free; his rent and taxes are
moderate. We must therefore con-
clude that man, as motive power or
force, is much too expensive an arti-
Gle to be profitable as a substitute for
horse power, whether in cultivation
or manufactures. Mech.

EXPOSED BY AN ELEPHANT.


One of the most striking illustra-
tions | ever heard of the extraordi-
nary sagacity Of the elephant is re-
lated in Pettit's work on the Tinnev-
ely Mission. 1t runs somewhat as
follows:
"While the large chapel at Mayer
coil was building, the missionaries OBJ
tanned the loan of q trained elephant
for drawing the larger timber used in
its erections. The late Mrs. Mault
kindly saw the animal regularly fed,
lest the food should be stolen by the
attendant. One day the allowance of
rice seemed very deficient in quaint
ty, and the good lady expostulated on
the subject with the keeper. Raising
his hanGs to heaven, the man loudly,
and with great apparent earnestness
and sincerity, repudiated the idea of
his having taken any of the rice.
''Do you think, madam, that would
be capable Of doing such a thing
No, never! no more than | would de
prive my own children of their daily
food" While he was speaking and
gesticulating, the intelligen t creature
slyly extending his trunk, unfasteped
the MANS waist-cloth, thereby spill
ing out the missing rice, which had
been concealed III a corner of the
cloth, and exposing the dishonesty of
the attendent. I have been assured
!, of the authenticity of this anecdote
by Mrs. Mault herself The Qutve,.
