Wan Lee as Paper-Carrier.

His next performance, | grieve to say,
was not attended with equal success. One
of our regular paper-carriers fell sick, and,
at pinch, Wan Lee was ordered to fill his
place. To prevent mistakes he was shown
over the route the previous evening, and
supplied at about daylight with the usual
number of subscribers copies. He re-
turned after an hour, in good spirits and
without the papers. He had delivered
them all, he said.
Unfortunately for Wan Lee, at about
eight O'Clock indignant subscribers began
to arrive at the office. They had received
their copies but how? In the form OF
hard-pressed cannon balls, delivered by a
single shot and a mere tour de force
through the glass OF bedroom windows.
They had received them full in the face,
like a baseball, if they happened to be up
and stirring; they had received them in
quarter sheets, tucked in at separate win
dows; they had found them in the CHM
ney, pinned against the door, shot through
attic windows, delivered in long slips
through convenient keyhOles, stuffed into
ventilatOrs, and occupying the same can
with the mornings milk. One subscriber,
who waited for some time at the Office
door, to have a personal interview with
Wan Lee (then comfortably locked in my
bed-roOm), told me, with tears of rage in
his eyes, that he had been awakened at
five o'clock by a most hideOus yelling be-
low his windows; that on rising, in great
agitation, he was startled by the sudden
appearance of The Northern Star, rolled
hard and bent into the form of a boomer
ang or East Indian club, that sailed into
the window, described number of tiendish
circles in the room, knocked over the
light, slapped the baby's face, took him
(the subscriber) sin the jaw" and then re-
turned out of the window, and dropped
helplessly in the area. During the rest Of
the day wads and strips of sOiled paper
purpOrting to be copies of The Northern
Star of that mornings issue, were brought

A Romance in High Life.

At the gaming table the Duke OF Rich
mOnd incurred a debt of honor on Lord
CadOgan. which ne was unable to pay, and
it was agreed that his son, lad Of tiiteen,
who bore the title of Earl of March, should
marry the still younger daughter of Lord
Cadogan. The boy was sent for from
school and the girl from the nursery;
clergyman was i'm attendance, and the chill
dren were told that they were to be mar
ried on the spot. The girl had nothing to
say; the boy cried out, "They surely are
not going to marry me to that dOwdy :"
But married they were. A pOst-chaise was
ar the door; the bridegroom was packed
off with his tutor to make the grand tour,
and the bride was sent back to her mother.
Lord March remained abroad for several
years, after which he returned to London,
a well educated, handsome young man,
but in no haste to meet his wife, whom he
had never seen except upon the occasion of
their hasty marriage. So he tarried in
London to amuse himself. One night at
the opera his attention was attracted TO a
beautiful young lady in the boxes. Who
is that?' he asked of gentleman beside
him. - You must be a stranger in Lon
don," was the reply, mot to know the
toast Of the town, the beautiful Lady
March," The Earl went straight to the
box, announced himself, and claimed his
bride. The two fell in love with each 9TH
er on the spot, and lived long and happily
together; and when the husband died, she
also died of a broken heart within few
mOnths.-SeptsD1be GALAXY.

Wood Books.

In the Museum at Cassel, Germany, is
a library made from five hundred Euro
pean trees. The back of each volume Is
formed of the bark of tree, the sides OF
the perfect wood, the top of young wood,
and the bottom of old. When opened,
the book is found to be box, containing
the flower, seed, fruit and leaves Of the
tree, either dried or initiated in wax. At
the Melbourne IntercolOnial Exhibition OF
1866, Colonel Clamp exhibited specimens
of Victorian wood converted into small
boxes of book form, according to design
suggested by that gentleman at the Vic
torian Exhibition of 1851, and then sug-
gested by Baron Ferd. Mueller. Nothing
could be more convenient and more inter-
esting than a library Ito speak allegOri-
cally) of such imitation books, represent
ing the different timber of various cOun-
tries. which could be Systematically, or
alphabetically, or geographically arranged.
Australia alone could furnish of such a
collection more than thousand volumes.
At the Paris Exhibition of 1861, Russia
showed a similar collection of wooden
books, cleverly designed, showing the bark
as the back binding, and lettered with the
popular and scientific names Of the wood.
Each book contained samples of the leaves
and fruit of the tree, and section and
shaving, or veneer of the wOOd.-JoUTndL

CalifOrnia's Wine Product.

There is a wide variance between the es-
Inmates formed of the wine that California
will produce the present season. Some
put the estimate as high as 10000, 600 gal
Ions, while others bring it down to 6,OOO,-
600. 1t is generally conceded that there
are grapes enough now growing TO make
100000 gallons of wine; but the de-
mand will not warrant the making Of this
amount. A large amount Of the grape
yield of the present season must unayoida-
bly, 90 to waste, after the wine vats, the

The Poor Little Musician.

Among the sad multitude of little hui
man waits turned out untimely to gather
their own living in the world, now and
then one possesses natural gifts which as
tonish us all tine more as his misfortunes
touch our hearts. Here is a picture from
a late number of the Providence Press:
Officer Vaughn took a little boy, nine
years old, into custody yesterday, who was
playing a tin flageolet on Westminster
street, and collecting the pennies and scrip
that charity threw into his hat. AT the
Central Station he recited his story in the
language of simplicity and apparent truth
fulness. His name is Clement Coffin.
His father is dead, and his mother works
in the police station-house at Lawrence,
Mass.
Last Saturday he left that place and went
to NewburypOrt, Haverhil and Boston,
coming here from the latter city yesterday.
He came all the way on the cars, and had
free rides, his poor, sightless eyes being a
passport everywhere. He had eight cents
when he left home, and something over
three dollars in his possession to-day.
This sum was his " "income" from his
musical performances, and he seemed anx-
ious about it, hoping that if it was taken
from him, they'd put it in bank.
On reaching this city he asked some
bows to show him the way to music
store. On finding himself in the right
place. he invested some of his surplus cap
ital in little music-bOX, preterring that
to his dinner. At the station he could
hardly stop playing upon his new musical
acquisition long enough to answer ques-
tions. His ear for music seemed to bC
something remarkable, and the tunes he
could play on the little tlageolet were
sweet and pathetic.
They gave him some bread and meat,
which he began to eat with eagerness
but it was enough to bring to eyes that
could see an unusual moisture to observe
the little fellow after a minute put aside
the food, while his hand stole to his side
to toy with the music-bOX. His dinner
was of the briefest, and then he gave his
whole attention to learning the tune which
was concealed in the cheap circular musi,
cal tOy-the 'Old Folks at Home"
Yes, I'd stay at home if my mother
would treat me decent" said he.
That was the key, then, to his running
away. His father in the grave, his mother
drunkard; and the light of day darkened
| forever to his eyes by sickness when he
was a baby,-all he seemed to care for was
his music. SO he kept on playing, while
! the people about him came and went
seeming regardless of the nature of Tho
| place into which he had drifted, careles:
of what might become of him, and re
ceiving all his pleasure through that senst
whose extreme deIicacy seemed given il
amends for the loss of sight.

Too Many Fences.

1t is too liable to be the case that farm
ers keep up certain field fences because
they were originally built where now
standing, or were in that position when
the farm was purchased. 1t often proves
very profitable to study the matter over
and lay out new plans for fields, lanes, etc.
We have seen farms so badly planned that
by removing at least one third of the
fence material, and rearranging the fields,
the premises would be greatly improved
in appearance, convenience and prOAt.
The study should be to have just as few
fences as the best planning will admit of,
and have those fences as good as they can
well be made. We do not mean by this
to have plow and meadow land all in one
field and the pasture all in another, but to
so arrange the fence as not 10 have half q
dozen different meadows, as many plOw
fields, etc., all on one farm of a hundred
acres. 1t is often the case that by moving
a barn to a new position One-half of the
lane fence may be removed, and the build
ing may be in a more convenient situation
than before. We only throw out these
suggestions to put farmers to thinking,
and each one can look over his own prem
ises and see what is needed in his own
special situatiOn.-OhiO Farmer.

Protecting Horses from Flies.

A French pharmaceutical chemist has
discovered way to protect horses from
the attacks of flies, according to London
medical paper. His invention con-
sists in rubbing the horses, especially on
the parts most subject to attack. with a
little concentrated oil of laurel. There is
not the slightest danger in its use, and the
cost is said TO be very small. Another re-
pellant suggested by the same person is a
solution of sixty grammes Zone pound and
five ounces avoirdupois) of assafetida in
two glasses of water and one of vinegar.
If horses be well washed with this, not a
fly will settle upon them, as the strong
odor of the assaf9tida drives the flies
away. This drug has no deleterious quail
ties as an external application, and may be
used unhesitatingly by horsemen.
