A New Idea.

Somebody has hit upon brilliant
idea for preventing the payment of
money on forged checks or drafts. The
person giving the check or draft is to
attach to the paper photograph of the
person to whom the money is to be
paid. Another photograph is to be
furnished by the payee to the drawee,
who will inclose it in letter to the
bank, notifying it that such a check or
draft has been issued. When the
paper is presented at the bank for pay
ment the two photographs and the
phiz of the payee will be compared,
and, if corresponding, the paper will be
regarded as being all right. This plan
will make it necessary for q business
man to have lot of thin paper photo
graphs on hand, which fact awakcns
the suspicion that the originator of the
idea must be a photographer. He
thinks the time will come when no
large sum of money will be paid unless
the genuineness Of the paper presented
is attested in this manner, II he ex-
poets to live long enough to see it him
self, he must be a young mana very
young man indeed.

ROMANCE OF A TEAPOT.

Our grotesque teapot was an article
decidedly ugl y, wearing a permanent
ana dlsagreeable grim, and with kind
OF snake arrangement for handle and
spout.
The gentle associations-the day IS
labor done, the drawing in round the
lire, the family circle, with no cheering
and not irebriating results-seem
wholly incompatible with the use of
such an article, and the spectacle of the
anlable fluid poured from such vessel
by gentle hands almost painful one.
But I would not part with it for
any money it is held in affection like
cherished heirloom. Yet it is dam
aged; indeed, from the network of lines
and cracks which covers it, even an un-
professional could see that it had been
smashed" into hundred pieces at
least. So it has. One day it got fall,
was dropped, and lay on the floor
shivered into heap of fragments. The
restoration, deemed impossible at first,
was undertaken for a large sum of
money, which was paid with delight,
for that fall brought about what you
are now going to hear.
we'll recollect the day that my dear
father secured it, and when he sold it
was ga unique" We could see no
beauty in it, although we tried hard to
do so, and as to its uniqueness, we
rather thought that was an advantage
for the world and for the spread Of
taste.
One day there came surprise, not
to say shock, for me. That queer
little Crinkleton, as the neighbors and
friends would call him, had bought
some new measures and ouriosities.
Alas stepmother and her daughter.
They were very designing people.
nnd, 1 believe, frightened him into it.
He was shrinking and timorous lie
would never have had courage to carry
such a scheme into execution. Thence
forth began new and, for me. terrible
life. They brought no money with
them, though he was persuaded that he
was doing what is called ga good
thing"
They very soon convinced him of the
contrary. Two more rapacious spoilers
could not be conceived. Every moment

me. And yet this only made me feel
more acutely the cruel loss OF the
piece of earthenware, which I felt that
nothing could ever restore to us.
1t was long time indeed before /
set myself seriously to the task Of
making out what was written on the
slip of paper.
It began, "Codicil to my will," and
stated that it revoked the bequest of O
particular date, and left all his per-
sonal property and effects, including
the china, which was to be sold off, to
his two children.
This did not quite understand at
the time, nor did I see the full force
and meaning of it. But seizing favor
able opportunity I got out of the
house, and hurried to friendly Mr..
Baker-of course bald and benevolent
to show it. He started as he read.
"This makes most important diff
ference" he said "you must leave it
with me, and I will call up in the morn
ing"
Everything, Us it proved, was ours.
The cruel pair got nothing, save the
small sum that had been settled on her
at the time of her marriage.
The collection brought vast sum,
much moro than any one had ever an
ticipated. And the teapot, as I have
said, repaired with the most exquisite
art, now reposes in place of honor.

Two Kinds.

There are two kinds of girls. One is
the kind that appears best abroad-the
girls that are good for parties. rides,
visits, balls, etc., whose chief delight
is in all such things, The other is the
kind that appear best at hone-the
girls that are useful and cheerful in the
dining room, the sick room, and all the
precincts of home. They differ widely
in character. One is frequently o tor
ment at home the other is blessing.
One is a moth, consuming everything
about her the other is q sunbeam, In
spring life and gladness all along the
pathway. Now it does not necessarily
girls. The right modification would
modify them both little, and units
their characters in one.

30 give mo my pipe and tobacco and I'll smoke
in my easy chair
It's hresome work a playin' for feeble old
men like mo-
Its a tiresome work a seei,i' whore every one
wishes to see.
Our fairs are runn;n' down they arc not like
the fairs Of old,
Where you TOOK the prizes for bread, and but
ter as yellow as gold;
There were hundreds Of useful things, that
wore well worth seen' then
Now, dozens Of racin' horses, and hundreds OF
bettin' men.
What all this sportin' will lead to is moro than
now can tell;
But, somehow, it seems to mo like the down.
ward road to h we'll.
may be little harsh, but I'm speaking the
simple truth,
For bettin', racin', and drinkin'. are the foes
OF our noble youth,
We,shali come to nation OF gamblers if mat

Come stand by grandpas knee lot me reason

We never heard talk like that when you and l

upon my tongue.
I'm old. and I'm gettin' blind, but a difference
can see
IWi1t the boys of eighteen hundred and
eighteen seventy-three.
How is it about the girls They, too, from the
path have strayed;
didn't SEQ one shown the butter her hands
had made;
They stood in their pony phs.tons With I.
woman's ease and grace
And shouted as loud as any when favorite
won y rsce.
ALI eyes were watching the track the race was
every mans -neme;
AND said to myself, "Is this fair, or is it
only dream ?"
lsaw bout dozen boys lookin' round at tho
sheep and swine,
And the frosts OF seventy winters had silyered
their heads like mine.
Why on earth don't they change the name
when .he wrong name it has got ?
No longer call it q fair but an agricultural
trot;
Then !nen won't be takin' things for sensible
folks to see,
With nobody there to see 'em but crippled old
mon like me.
There take my pipe and tobacco I'll sleep in
my easy chair;
It's tiresome work a talkin' about degenerate

You needn't disturb me, wife, till the bells of
the evening chime,
For may go back in my dreams to the fairs of
