IL you accept the present, you must make
the selection. Being quite good Judge Of

himself.
The Square rubbed his gold bowed spec

critics precision. Alter much scrutinizing,
he said

The delighted Square FASTENED home to
inform his wife. 10 about an hour he saw
the "fattcst and best pointed COW in the viii

and he dispatched daughter Of Africa to
milk her. In a few minutes in came ebony,
giggliug and laughing. Square Wick knew
that something was to pay, but what, he
could not conjecture. There stood Dinah
convulsed with laughter, the empty pail
dangling by her side.

The Square looked at his wife she at

face covered with her apron and her laugh

mendous rate.
"Dinah," said he at the top Of his voice,
"tell me what's the matter or I'll throw you

Dinah rose, and controlled herself long

TIE ENGLISH FEELING ABOUT Our WAR,
THEN AND Now.-The concluding paragraph
Of the London Academy's excellent notice of
Gen Sherman's "MemSirs written by Col
Chesney) is as follows: There were those
among US, at the time of the great civil war,
who hoped that it would end in the indepen.
dence Of the South, pot so much from sym.
pathy for that side, as from the belief that,
in the spectacle Of two rival nations in the
west facing each other across several thou
sand miles of border, there would be found
guarantee for the continued independence, if
not the political supremacy, OF England.
Those who are still In that way Of thinking
must surely, we may hope, be few. What
ever may have been the merits of the quar-
rel, in the first place, the final issue OF the
war has been blessing to the world. When
we look at the state Of Europe, and see how
one great war becomes merely the forerun.
