OF two boys and two girls, good looking

The ENGLISH WALNUT SEASON. 1t is

who only eat dry nuts, cannot imagine
how delicious are the almonds, filberts
and English walnuts when they are fresh
and green and why we do not have them
is marvel to me, for I believe all of
them will grow in this country. But the
difference between fresh and dried is the
difference of two fruits. From now un-
til Christmas the walnuts are in their
glory. and the consumption of them is
immense at the table of the aristocrat in
his castle, where many an hour is passed
over them and wine at the end of dinner
as we read in English novels. when re-
lenting uncle begins to unbosom himself
to his scapegrace nephew, in the cosy res
tanrants of clubs and hotels, in the mod
est lodgings of the bachelor. in the cot
tage of the peasant, aud in the crowded
city where they are cracked and munched
by the laborer at the street corners. You
see them by the basket full everywhere
around, sold at the price of three to five
for cent. And at Covent Garden mar
ket in the morning it is curious sight
to watch the men and women occupied
in taking them out of their green shells,
as they stand before the baskets ranged
in circle, with their fingers black as ink

HANS PLATTER EXCITED. Hans Plat
zer, as is well know to all our people,
says the Virginia Enterprise, is a man not
easily excited. Hans generally takes
things cool. 1t is very seldom that any
single, small mishap disturbs his equa-
nimity "Dere is already too much bod

little ding to worry my prains. is what
Hans generally says. The other day,
however, he was III another humor. Hans
keeps a saloon, and had probably on this
day been visited by an unusual number
OF thirsty but impecunious persons,
otherwise we are at loss to account for
his dissolute behavior. A man entered
Hans place of business and resting his
elbow on Hans's bar, said to Hans rs fol-
lows: - l am quite unwell have been

doctors care. The doctor tells me that |

doctor has said must have it." Hans,
who had been resting his elbows on the
counters opposite his customer, began to
swell up before h heard him alfthrough.
When he had heard all, Hans seemed al
most too full for utterance. The case
seemed to him one to which it would be
hard to do full justice. He therefore
two or three times strolled up and down
behind the bar. a distance of six or eight
feet, then suddenly facing his, customer
thus exploded :" Why don't your doctor
