MISS TEMPERANCE ANDERSON, a resi-
dent of Baden, Beaver County, Penn
sylvania, has hair six feet and a half
long. It is quite thick and fine, blonde
In color.
A LADY with a very unmusical voice
insisted upon singing at recent party.
What does she call that ? inquired s.
guest. The Tempest, think, answered
another. Don't be alarmed, SAID a sea-
captain present. It's no tempest. It's
only squat, and viii soon be over.
WHEN we look for the highest bene-
fits of conversation, the Spartan ruIs
of one TO one is usually enforced. Dis
course, when it rises highest and
searches the deepest, when it lifts us
into that mood out of which thoughts
come and remain as stars In our firma-

THERE is no outward sign of polite
ness which has not deep moral reason.

JOSH BILLINGS was asked, How fast
does sound travel? His idea is that il
depends good deal upon the noise

of stairs, and then not hev strength
enuff left to be heard.

Sydney Smith says of the shakes of the
hand There is the high official the
body erect and a rapid, short shake,
near the chin. There is the mortnain
the fiat hand introduced into your palm,
and hardly conscious of its contiguity.
The digital one finger held out, much
used by the high clergy. There is the
shakus rusticus when your hand il
seized in an iron grasp, betokening rude
health, warm heart, and distance from
the metropolis, but producing a strong
sense of relief on your part when yor
find your fingers unbroken. The mex
to this Is the retentive shake ont
which, beginning with vigor, pauses al
if to take breath, but without relinquish
nag its prey, and before you are awar,
begins again, till you feel anxious as t.
the result, and have no shake left in you
