A TEA VENDER's M1sTAKE.-A good
story is told of a certain tea ped
dler, who lives not a hundred
miles from Napanee, Canada, and
who was pushing his vocation
in the back country. Having call
ed on a poor woman and asked her
to purchase a box of tea, she told
him she was not able to pay for it,
whereupon he proposed to take the
baby that lay in the cradle in ex-
change for It; and, she at once con-
senting, he took the baby and left
the tea thinking the woman would
soon follow. When he came to the
next house he told what he had
done, and was informed that the
baby did not belong to the woman,
but had only been left with her the
night before. He then concluded
to return the child, but had to give
the woman another box Of tea to get
her to take it back. he says he'll
not buy any more babies.

DEATH.-We shall come down to
the time when we shall have but
ten days left, then nine days, eight
days, seven days, six days, five
days, four days, three days, two
days, one day. Then hours; three
hours, two hours, one hour. Then
only minutes left; five minutes,
four minutes, three minutes, two
minutes, one minute. Then only
seconds, left; three seconds, two
seconds, one second! Gone The
chapter Of life ended! The book
closed! The pulse at rest! The feet
through with the journey! The
hands closed from all work! No
word on the lip. No breath
on the nostril. The muscles still.
The lungs still. The tongue Still.
The nerves still. All still. You
might put the stethoscope to- the
breast and hear no sound. You
might put a speaking trumpet to
the ear, but not break the deafness.
No motion. No throb. No life.

POSTAGE ON POSTAL CARDs.-A
Boston paper says: We have just
paid six cents postage on a postal
card sent us, because the sender
had thoughtlessly written a date
on the side designed for the address
alone. FASTING any printed OF
written matter on either face Of the
card subjects it to double letter post
age. The directions" are explicit
that nothing but the name and ad-
dress must be written on one side
of the card, and that nothing must
be attached to the other, any
way.

pressions in so short a time as did
that of the little woman while her
husband was on his way to her.
She didn't look pretty. On the con-
trary, she looked very plain, but
somewsy I felt a big lump rise in
my throat as I watched her. She
was trying to laugh; but God bless
her, how completely she failed in
the attempt! Her mouth got, into
the position; but it never moved
after that, save to draw down at
the corners and quiver while she
b1inked her eyes so fast, that [ sus-
.pect she only caught occasional
glimpses of the broad d-shoulderedfel-
low who elbowed his way so rapid
ly toward her. And then, as he
drew close and dropped those ev-
erlasting portmantaus, she just
turned completely round, with her
back towards him, and covered her
face with her hands. And thus she
was when the strong man gathered
her up in his arms as if she had been
baby, and held her sobbing to his
breast. There was enough gaping
at them, Heaven knows, and I turn
ed my eyes away moment and 1
saw two boys in threadbare round
abouts standing near, wiping their
eyes and noses on their little coat
sleeves, and bursting out anew at
every fresh demonstration on the
part of the mother. When I looked
at the stranger again he had his
hat drawn down over his eyes but
his wife was looking up at him, and
it seemed as if the pent-up tears Of
those weary months of waiting.
were streaming through her eye

An energetic woman who had
been married four times had man
aged by doubling and tripling to

Guilty about it is the annoyance of
coming here where we are ez-
posed to the gaze Of these rough
men and the children of the tene-
ment houses around us, who crowd
into the doors and look at us with
as much. astonishment as if we were
circus riders in street parade. It
is not pleasant for ladies but we
must come here, as the blood must
be drank fresh f1om the veins before
coagulation takes place" ~ Y.

A BEE SroRY.-A lady relates the
following story: Her father once
brought home q molasses hogshead,
to be used as a water tank. On
washing day her mother said :
':Let's throw the suds into it, to
soak the molasses from the bottom.
The instant she had done so she ex-
claimed: "Oh! I have drowned
hundreds Of our neighbors' bees.
The hogshead was black with bees,
that were busily appropriating the
sweets from what they must have
considered an enormous blossom.
The good Lady made haste with her
skinner to skim the bees from the
top of the water, and spread them
on a board in the sunshine; but
they seemed drowned and nearly
dead; and she was very sorry.
ALI the bees that were around
the hogshead had flown away at
the dash of the water, but in a few
minutes they returned, accompanied
by scores of others. They began a
curious work. They Immediately
went to work upon the unfortunate
bees turning them over and over
and working upon them constantly
with their heads, feet, and antenn@,
the result of their busy labor was
that one after another gave signs
of life, stretched it's limbs and wings,
crawled about and dried itself in
the sun and few away. The lady
said that there was half a pint at
first, and that there remained only
about dozen hopeless cases be.

A. converted prize Fl g h ter,
known as ssBendigo," has recently
attracted much attention in London
as a speaker at religious meetings.
Heis now sixty-two years old, having
spent nearly aquarter of century
Of his life in the s:ring." He enjoys
the distinction Of having whipped

fortieth year. every ne.of which he
won. He now holds in his posses.
sion three belts, including the cham
pion's and several prizes and testi-
monials in the shape of silver cups,
etc: In addition to his success as q
fighter, he has become famous as
skillful fisherman, and his record
shows that he has served twenty
eight terms in Jail for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. He is a
broad-shouldered man, light of foot,
and exceedingly "active with bis
arms" As he tells his story, he
was the youngest Of family of
twenty one children, all of whom
are now dead save himself. He was
early in life forced to exert himself
to secure the necessities Of life.
He does not think he "took to
fighting" because he liked it, but
he had a mother to support and
could get a living easier in this
way than in any other. His mother
encouraged him, and he easily fell
into the business.
He began life in Nottingham,
where most of his exploits were
performed. He was the most noto-
rious man in the town, and a fre-
quent line in the papers was ':Ben-
digo in trouble again" His ac-
count of his last term in Noting
ham jail and of his conversion is
rather striking. His last imprison-
ment was not, he says, for thieving.
To use his own language:
"I was never as bad as that.
When I was a boy, and up to the
time when I was young fel-
low, my life was a rough 'un, and if
I saw any chap eating, and I was
hungry, I'd take his grub away from
him. O, yes, I'd do that; or, if I
was dry and had no money for a
drink, I'd think nothing of making
free with somebody else's; but, dye
understand me, I never would what
you might call steal anything.
Well, this twenty-eighth time was
for the old game. It was at one of
the pubic-houses where they were
set against me, and wouldn't serve
me with any strong drink, even
though I had the money to pay for

you come along with me? I'm going

you come along with me? I'm going
to Beeston.'
EsAnd I knew if T went with him
7 should be all right, and I went.
And there I met another friend who
wished me well, and said he, Ben
dy, what do you say to coming to
the Hall tonight to hear Undaunt-
ed Dick?' who's he?' says I, Z
never heard of him It's Dick Weav-
er,' says be, "a collier chap, that was
once in a bad way, but who is now
converted and turned preacher
'Ay,' said I, I'll go and hear him :;
he's one Of my own sort;' and I
went, and I sat on the platform,
and there I could hear 'em j; why,
how's this? there's Bendigo up
there; ) Look, look, there's old Ben
dy.' But I took no notice; only
sat quiet and listened. Well, next
night I was there again, and heard
what did me good more than ever.
It was bad weather, and showing
hard, and I had to make my way
home late at night across park !;
and when I was half way across I
couldn't hold out any longer. So,
in the dark, and with the snow COM
ing down, I went on my knees and
prayed as well as I knowed how,
and when I got up I felt a new
man. I didn't quite go without ale;
I had one half pint between then
and Sunday, and then I wentto the
chapel again and on the platform,
and in the face of, everybody who
