Yesterday, as apoliceman was strolling past

year or two over forty, having her sleeves
rolled up and her hands covered with -four,
ran out to the gate and called to him.

over the gate and tried to blush, "but I'm
person that knows my rights, and besides,
I'm all alone in the world, and no one to ad-
wise me-"
"Speak your mind freely, madam" replied
the officer, as he tapped on the pickets with
his baton.
"You know all about the law, don't you ?"
she inquired.
Everything, madam. can tell you how
to 60 to work in an admiralty case, and
bring you from that down throug divorce,
bankruptcy, arson, burglary, false pretences,
hitching horse to shade tree and getting
intoxicated"
"It's little delicate" she softly said, as
she rubbed the -four off her hands, "but as I
said before, I'm all alone
"Trust me, madam-repose confidence in
me" he replied, swelling out his chest.
"Well, s'posen you we're widow p
eyes, madam"
"And s'posen one of the boarders gave you
breast-pin!" !"
II see, madam
"And s'posen he smiled at you, and sent
you poetry, and asked you to ride out on Sun
day, and the neighbors whispered around that
you were engaged?' p
proceed madam congratulate you"
"No, you mustn't, for s'posen after all this he
suddenly began to claw of, and didn't smile
on you any more, and didn't praise your
cooking, and, took another woman to the min
strel show?"
"Ah! the traitor! Perhaps he has trasfer-
red his affections to another"
"That's what I think. know it's little
delicate, but I'm all alone in the world, you
see, and want to know if there isn't law
to bear on him. 1t isn't right to 60 and en-
courage lone woman like me, and then claw

"He ought to be roasted alive, he had"
II don't know as I'd want him arrested,
but I'd like to have you call on him and

TWO NAUGHTY BOYS.

One day last week little boy, who had
been standing for some time in front of
drug store in Baltimore, enviously eyeing a
large reel we'll provided with "simmy. .dimmy"
twine, as the boys call it, which was fastened
to the top of the counter, summoned up cour-
age enough to walk in and ask for few
yards, with which to fly his kite. The doc
tor bears the reputation Of being good-na-
tused man, full of humor and very fond of
the little ones; but the youngster approached
him atAstime when he was out of his usual
mood, nd he consequently gave "no" for an
answer. THE urchin had made up his mind
to have some of "that cord" any how, and he
got it. On Thursday morning the boy enter
ed the store, accompanied by another boy and
dog. Boy No. having placed a bottle
upon the counter, demurely asked for five
cents worth of "sirup squills and pollygolic," "
and while the doctor was filling the order, boy
No. was tying the end of the cord to the
dogs tail. When the man of medicine re-
turned to the counter the reel was flying like
fury. The doctor quietly reached for pal
let knife and, having hung himself over the
counter, made desperate whack at the
Uranium of the youngster, who he supposed
was sitting on the floor helping himself.
But 10! the boy and the dog "Bouncer"
were not there. The doctor having tried
in vain to stop his reel, was obliged to give
it up, on account of the heat it communicated
to the palm of his hand. When he reached
the door he beheld the boys upon the side
walk about two blocks off, and Bouncer in
the middle of the street going at the rate of
forty knots an hour, the string pointing d.
recly toward his tail. The reel continued to
spin for some time afterward, until it stop
ped of its own accord.
How SHE TAUGHT HIM.-A lady hired an
old negro woman, named Charlotte, who had
the most exalted opinion of her own individ-
uality. Whenever subject was under dis
cusson in the family Charlotte would be sure
to state her own superior method OF proceed
ing in such matters. On one occasion the
lady was talking of sending the children to
school, when Charlotte put in her oar as
usual:
"Lor! missus," she said, "what mex you
pay money fur to send de chile to school? l
got one smart boy name Jonus, but larns
him myself"
"But Aunt Charlotte" replied the lady,
show can you teach your child, when you don't
know one letter from another ?"
"How 1 teach him? 1 jis mex him tex de
book an set down on de flo, and den I say,
'Jonus, you tex ye eye from dat book, much
less leggo him an skins you alive 2"

SAVING GRACE.

Grace is not the product of a must, an
ought, a stimulus ofjustice or duty, compell'
ing the Divine Being; it is in its very nature,
free, that is, according to "the good pleasure
of His own will, inwrought and self.wrought.
He is represented as "giving His we'll beloved
Son." not as paying him to recompense man
for an injury done to him, or as forced, under
obligation, even at this expense, to make the
wicked happy forever. If He withholds sal
vation from the guilty, it is justice; if He
confers it, not forced, but free, it is grace If
God must, ought, we may be glad that He is
Just, but we cannot call it grace, nor love-
Grace has a deep meaning and is as high as
heaven. Who can exhaust the theme, or JOY
too much in it "He gave'-He ever gives
Grace is the foundation of our holy relig.
ion, the comprehensive thought of all theolo.
gy, its living power, and is the efficient cause
of mans salvation. There is volume in the
word, and heaven is in it. The believer
thinks and speaks of it as saving grace
Without it, in the heart and mind of the Di.
vine Being, there is no election, and in order
to our salvation, He must first love and choose
Us, for without election there can be no saliva
tion. The offer ofthe gospel is, "Whosoever,'
"whosoever will" etc., so that none are him
dered, except by perverse and sinful will Of
their own, which must be their crime. But in
those who will be saved efficient grace is the
cause renewing, overcoming, in some way, so
changing and affecting mans will, that it
"disposes and enables him to embrace Christ
as He is freely offered to us in the gospel
This, to many, seems sefevident and mat
ter of experience while others, who know not
the meaning and poweraand mystery of grace
have taught that it could not do all this
But grace saves; it has its origin in God and
perfects its work in heaven.-C Christian O6ser.

VARtEGATED GoURDs.-A French jour.
nal describes some experiments made by NJ.
Gaillard in the cultivation of gourds. These
results have been reached by grating differ
ent fruits upon one another. 1t is found that
perfect union takes place and the growth con-
tinues without interruption. One instance is
mentioned of green Spanish gourd upon the
side of which another variety was grated
Another was yellow gourd, into the side Of
which was inserted the stalk of a pear.shaped
green gourd. A large slice ofthis was cut of
perfect adhesion took place. This playing
tricks with gourds is no new thing, though
we do not remember having seen it so exten'

g pastime to produce those curiosities Of
growth, but some of the results are very pret
ty and interesting.
