Velpcau, the French surgeon, had success
fully performed, on a little Child five years
old, a most perileus operation. The mother,
says the New York Medical record, came to
him and said:
Monsieur, my son is saved, and really
know not how to express my gratitude. AZ
low me, however, to present this pocket
book, embroidered by my own hands,
"Oh, madame, replied Velpeau, sharply,
''my art is not merely a question of feeling.
Ny life has itsrequrements like yours. Dress,
even, which is a luxury to you is necessary
for me. Allow me, therefore, to refuse your
charming little present in exchange for more
substantial remuneration
but. monsieur, what remuneration do you
desire:" Fix the fee yourself.
Five thousand francs, madame.
The lady very quietly opened the pocket
book, which contained ten thousand francs
in notes, counted out five, and after politely
handing them over to Velpeau, retired. I'M

THE other day Mr.. Alexander, member

the suit pendirg IN the court OF Judge Jami-
son. The Judge was extremely indignant,
said that the affidavit in support Of the motion
was gross perjury, and declared that the law

vas guilty of completely in perjury. This
language proved too much for the tender
hearted attorney. He burst into tears, de-
clared himself too unwell to proceed with the
case. and sank senseless to the door Being
removed he only rallied to mutter constantly
''perjury. perjury" and on going home was
struck down With an attack of brain fever

had any grounds for bis accusation, but it is
evident that the Chicago lawyers must be q

There is charming tradition connected
with the site on which the Temple OF Solo
mon was erected. 1t is said to have been Oc-
cupied III common by two brothers, one of
whom had i family the other had none. On
the spot was field of wheat. On the even
ing succeeding the harvest, the wheat having
been gathered in shocks, the elder brother
said unto his wife: My younger brother is
unable to bear the burden and heat Of the day;
l will arise, take Off M. shocks and place
with his, without his knowledge" The
younger brother being actuated by the same
benevolent motives, said within himself: MY
elder brother has family and have none;
l will contribute to their support; Twill arise,
take off my shocks and place with his. with
out his knowledge.
Judge of their mutual astOnlshment when,
on the following morning, they found their
respective shocks undiininished. This course
of events transpired for several nights, when
each resolved in his own mind to stand guard
and solve the mystery. They did so; when,
on the following night, they met each other
halfway between their respective shocks,
with their arms full.
Upon ground hallowedby such associations
as this was the Temple of King solomon
erected--sO spacious, so magnificent. the
wonder and admiration of the world. Alas!
in these days how many would sooner steal
their brothers whole shock thar add to it
single sheaf!

When Scribbleton received Jennies note,
he was probably the most miserable mortal
in the whole CITY, 1t came in the morning,
when he was preparing to make what he pre-
sumed would be his last call on Jennie, for
lie had already taken some steps looking to q
departure by the evening train. lie was al
ready despondent enough at the thought OF
his impending separation from his adored
one, which might prove to be very long, even
for years; but what was that to this sudden
bolt that prostrated all his plans and left him
without even the shadow of hope to cling
to? Perhaps there is nothing that makes
man so utterly wretched, that so sickens him
of life, as to love deeply and in vain; but
when he has first been set upon pinnacle OF
happiness by the success of his suit, ana
from its intoxicating height looks down upon
4 world abounding with the most del'ghtfoi
prospects, to be suddenly cast from 'n's
height into hopeless despair, works IN aggra-
vation of woe the strongest must struggle
hard to support. But words can not make
this comprehensive; and therefore but few
can understand the extent of Scribbletons
misery. All his ambition seemed to 90 from
him, all object in living; and bis literary sue
cess. the fortune he had secured, seemed but
the veriest triiies in the presence of this sud-
den terrible loss For what is literary fame,
what is wealth, what is anything, to the
h.art in the first bitter throes of unreccom-
pensed or lost lover
