A Suit OF Clothes for a Song.

Farinelli had ordered a magnificent
costume, and when the tailor brought it
home, the artist demanded his bill. 81
have not made one," answered the tailor.
"But why not?" asked Farinelli. Be-
cause" said the trembling tailor, 81 have
a desire for my payment in but one form.
know that which / desire is of inesti-
mable value, and reserved for monarchs,
but since / have the honor of working
for one of whom none speaks but with
enthusiasm, wish no other payment
than he sing me one song" Farinelli
strove in vain to change his resolution
and induce him to receive the money.
The tailor was immovable. At last the
great artist acceded- to his request.
Resolved that the enthusiast should be
fully gratifed, he exhibited before him
all his wondrous skill, after which the
tailor, fairly intoxicated with delight
prepared to withdraw, but Farinelli
stopped him. "I am very sensitive,
said he, "and it is possibly through that
trait that have attained my superiority
over other singers. / have acceded tC

astonished tailor to receive nearly double

ny WILLIAM LEIGHTON.


found a leaf Of Woodruff in book;
Gone was Its scent, and lost its pristine glory;
Each slender bladeet wore dingy look,
All, all were blanched and hoary.
And yet this withered leaf a spell possessed,
Which worked upon me In mysterious measure,
breast
OF mingled pain and pleasure;
OF childhood's days that knew no thought Of care
OF hours that passed on wings Of rainbow feet
OF odors floating ON the wsnton air,
Sad from their very sweetness;
OF woods that wore garb of summer green;
OF knee-deep ferns and hooks Of shady stiffness
OF streams that glimmered in the full moons
sheen
And mirrowed back its fullness;
of lazy baskings on the lone hillside
In the fierce glow Of July's sultry weather,
OF twilight wand rings where the enamsred tide
Crept up to kiss the heather;
OF voices still beneath the churchyard sod;
Bright eyes that glistcned from behind long
lashes;
Warm beauty early given back to God;
Red lips that now are ashes!
And many other memories, gay and grave,
The Woodruff brought in lifelike guise before
Until maryeled how leaf could have
Such magic isfuence DER me.
All, so Il Is! all that hath ever been
Experienced by the spirit is immortal;
Each hope and Joy and grief Is hid within
The memorys sacred portal.
And yet the soft glow of a moonlight hour,
A strain Of haunting music sweet and olden,
A dream, bird, bee, leaf, flower,
A sunset rich and golden,
Can fling that portal open and beyond
Appears the record OF each earlier feeling
All hopes, all joys, all tears, all musings fond,
In infinite revealing.
Till all the present passes from our sight
Its cares and woes that make us weary hearted,
And leaves us basking in the holy light
OF golden days departed.

A Quaint Old Dance.

In book called "The Dancing Mas
ter" published in 1928, appears the fol.
lowing description of dance called
"Longways," to be danced by Gas many
as will" Note-Each strain is to be
played twice over. The first wo. (short
for woman) holds her handkerchief on
her face, and goes on the outside below
the third wo. and comes up the middle
to her place; first man follows her (at
the same time pointing and smiling at
her) at his place. First man do the
same, only beckons his wo. to him. First
woman makes motion of drying first
one eye, then the other, and claps her
hands one after another on her sides
(the first man looking surprisingly at
her at the same time) and turn her part
ner. First Gu. (couple) move with two
slow steps down the middle and back
again. The first Gu. sett and cast off,"
Most men would now look surprisingly
at any "wo." doing this odd figure, with
out receiving an order to do so from

Fortunate Discoveries.

Three very different discoveries are re-
corded to have resulted from the unin-
tcntienal application of intense heat.
Pliny attributes the discovery of glass to
some merchants travelling with nitre,
who, stopping on the banks of a river to
take meal, were at loss for stones to
rest their kettles upon. Putting. them
upon pieces of nitre, they kindlcd their
fires; the nitre, dissolved by the heat,
mixed with the sand, and the merchants
were astonished to see transparent mat
ter flowing over the ground, which was
nothing else but glass. Charles Good
year had for years experimental in vain,
hoping to deprive India-rubber of its
susceptibility to the action of heat and
cold. Conversing with friend on the
subject, he emphasized an assertion by
flinging a piece of sulphured rubber
across the room. 1t lighted upon the
stove; and when he picked it up few
days afterward, he found the intense
heat to which it had been subjected had
conferred upon the India-ruhber just the
quality he had so long striven to impart
to it. According to some, he stumbled
upon the discovery in a different man
ner but, at any rate, vulcanized India
rubber was the creation of an accident.
A Limerick tobacconist looking dole
fully at his poor neighbors cropping
among the smouldering ruins of his
burned out shop, noticed that some OF
them, after trying the contents of certain
canisters, carefully loaded their waist.
coat pockets from them. He followed
suit, and found the snuff had come out
of the fiery ordeal very much improved
in pungency and aroma. Like a wise
man he said nothing. but took another
place, set up a lot of ovens, and before
long Black Yard Snuff-otherwis Irish
Blackguard''-was all the rage with
lovers of nasal Utilization /; and in few
years Lundyfoot was rich man, owing
to the accident he thought had ruined
him. A would-be alchemist seeking tc
discover what mixture of earths would
make the strongest crucibles, one day
found he had made porcelain. Instead
of transmitting metals, as he had fondly
hoped to do, Bottger transmitted him
self; as il he had been touched with
conjurer's wand he was on a sudder
transformed from an alchemist into {

That Vermont Volcano.

A Vermont newspaper thus describes
the volcano at NorthlFayston, which has
lately attracted public attention: The
conical hill is on the north side of Bald
Mountain, its north slope being perhaps
three hundred feet, and its south slope
half that distance. This hill isa mass OF
detached rock, with crevices, and over
grown with trees. These crevices are
very deep. One of them, some six inch
es wide, is mostly covered by soil and a
growth of trees, bushes and the like:
Some places are not 80 covered, and
these are the volcanic holes-simply bits
of the crevices not covered. The air in
the crevices or cave is, of course, moist,
and is cold in summer and warm in
winter, when considered in relation to
the outside atmosphere. When this
damp air comes out of the crevice OF
cave in winter, the moisture with which
il is charged is condensed in vapor, and
that is all there is to the "volcano."
The temperature within the cave OF
crevice is forty degrees above zero.

Nellie's Husband rs a Boxer.

Sartoris, accompanied by several MEM
bers of the foreign legations, paid visit
recently to the Washington Gymnasium.
At this establishment Charley Collins,
the pugilist, better known as the Cast
Iron Man, who in April, 1867, fought
George Rookie for 50, 600 and the middle
weight championship, is the teacher OF
boxing. During the visit of Sartoris and
his friends, Collins was teaching pupil.
Sartoris made remark which riled the
pugilist. The Cast-Iron Man asked Sar-
toris "ifhe could do any better" Sar-
toris' friends urged him to put on the
gloves. Sartoris then took the gloves
and pretended he did not know how to
put them on. The pugilist smiled, and
told his pupils that he would take the
conceit out of his unknown opponent.
The preliminaries were quickly arranged,
and the contest commenced. The
Cast-Iron Man rushed at his adversary,
thinking to end the contest at one round.
Sartoris warded off the sledge-hammer
blows Of the pugilist, and returned a
left-hander on the Cast-Iron Mans
mouth, drawing the claret, and then
rapidly changing off, delivered straight
right-hand blow on the Cast-Iron Mans
nose, and knocked him down, much to
the surprise of the pugilists friends. In
the second round SartOris had the best OF
the sparring, and administered storm o
blows on the pugilist's face, and fought
him down. In the third round the Cast
Iron Man was again knocked down, and
declined to continue the contest.
Sartoris was borne from the scene amid
loud cheers from his friends. The Cast
Iron Man said that he was sick, bu
would meet his unknown opponent
again.
A second meeting was arranged. ant
Sartoris was again the victor, giving th'
Cast-Iro Man a sound drubbing, ant
making him acknowledge that sometime
amateurs are superior to professionals
The affair has created quite a sensation
and the athletic young Englishman /
the lion of the day among the muscula
young gentleman with whom he associ
ates.
1t is said that Sartoris and Barol
Bousiere have undertaken to receiv
boxing, and that they are trying to pei
suade some of the ladies of the Court Il
organize an archery club, with becom
ing uniform.-New York Sun.

A Vendetta.

The exact nature and beauty Of the
VENDETTA" was illustrated by two ma
tives of Sicily in New Orleans recently.
One of them was in his parlor, sur
rounded by his family, when the door
suddenly opened, the other rushed in,
and, placing the muzzle of pistol close
to the breast of the first, exclaimed,
"Pve got you now" and fired. The
bullet struck pair of scissors in the in
tended victims vest pocket, and was cut
into three pieces, which were afterward
found in the pocket. The would be
assassin was permitted to depart without
molestation, the assailed man merely
observing to inquiries that 1t was a
vendetta" and he would settle IL him
self, and he probably will when he has
more pistols than scissors about him.

The Row in Brooklyn.

As the facts pertaining to the Beecher-
Tilton scandal are being gradually de-
veloped by efforts of the counsel engaged
in the case, the interest felt by the pub.
lie in the matter becomes stronger and
mere pronounced. Especially in Brook
lyn i'm this the case, where friendships OF
long duration have been broken and
marriage engagements sundered, owing
to differences of opinion regarding the
affair. Men having not the slightest
previous acquaintance with each other,
on hearing an opinion publicly expressed,
either shake hands with the warmth
of old friends or quarrel with the acerbity
of enemies. If any one questions the
truth of this statement he has only to
visit large drinking saloon in Fulton
street kept by Mr.. Slane. Behind the
bar is hung large placard: "No dis
cussion about the Beecher-Tilton trial is
allowed in this establishment" Two
strangers began arguing the merits ei
the case. One was pronounced advo-
cate of Beecher, the other firm believer
in Tilton. The discussion grew warm,
and finally the Beecher man, catching
I'D a large ice-pitcher standing on the
bar, threw it at the head of his opponent
His aim was not as firm as his intention
and the missile, flying wide of its mark
demolished pierglass worth over 500
The next morning Mr.. Slane hung uI
the placard. His example has been fol
lowed by many other saloon-keepers
The audience in the court room, for in
congruity and abnormal character, fully
equals the actors in the suit. 1t wa

said: "There are the rich men, wht
have nothing else to do; there are th'
bummers, who never do anything; anc
there are the women, who can't tel wba

pear in the same seats regularly every
morning, and men who at the beginning
of the case regarded their neighbors ii
the next seats with suspicion, now recog
nize and chat with them as with oil,

In THE GLOAMING.

Each day when the light is waning
And fading down In the west,
There comes thoughtful season,
An hour that love the best,
When out of the gathering shadows
Cone voices sweet and low,
Like the murmuring waves OF ocean
When calm tides ebb and flow.
The hour when the spirits vision
Is loosed from the bonds OF clay,
And out thro' the gate OF sunset
May follow the golden day.
And oft when the cares and crosses
Have dimmed its beautiful light,
In prayer kneel ut the portal
And make my peace with the night
And out Of the purple twilight
Come touches Of vanished hands,
And To-! from the realm Of shadows
A beautiful angel stands,
With the chrism OF benediction
For the prayer Of my souls regret,
For the empty hands uplifted
And the eyes with sorrow wet.
And know when the darker shadows
Shall fall on my latest day,
Sealing my eyes In slumber
And wiping all tears away,
For the sad mistakes and losses,
The labor that brought no gain,
] shall find somewhere in the future
A recompense for all pain.
