nothing but good, but as for the living

black brush, and half an eye can see it.
Every head has a soft place in it, and every
heart has its black drop. Every rose has
its prickles, and every day its night. Even
the sun shows spots, and tho skies are
darkened with clouds. Nobody is so wise
but he has folly enough to stock stall at
Vanity Fair. Where | could not see the
fools cap, | have, nevertheless, heard the
bells Jingle. As there is no sunshine with.
out some shadow, so is all human good
mixed up with more or less evil. The

The Two Ducks of Elyria.

A Cleveland drummer was in Elyria a
few Sundays ago, and while sitting in his
room heard, from the next room, the
mysterious question and answer:
" "Whose ducky are you?'
" Use your ducky."
few moments passed, during which the
drummer sat in open mouthcd wonder,
and the silence was again broken:
" Whose ducky are you?"
"l'se yo,U ducky!''
Unable to stand it much longer alone.
the Clevelander hurried down to the office,
learned that ncwly-married couple were
in the house, invited three other drummers
to hear the fun, and tiptoed back to his
room. The wicked quartette crammed
their handkerchiefs in their mouths, and
during the next quarter of an hour heard
that fond conundrum put and answered no
less than four times by theunconscious rustic
and his blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it. the
bride and groom were seated between two

coverer of the bonanza sat opposite. The
table had been cleared of the substantials
and orders for desert had been given. At
that moment spirit of mischief took en-.

which modern ingenuity renders possible,

peculiar qualities of adaptation to this pur.
pose. The cOloring matter for initiating
emeralds, rubies, and sapphires is entirely
mineral, and has been brought to high per-
fection. Hundreds of operatives are EN-.
ployed in polishing the colored stones and
In lining the false pearls with fish.scales

are chiefly employed for this purpose.
They have to be stripped from the fish

admired in the real pearl will not be imita.

years so perfect that the Roman pearl has,
to great extent, been superseded. The

Oh The TIMES THE first Monday of
each and every month is the time fixed by
act OF Assembly to sell real estate, by the
Sheriff of Philadelphia. The first Monday
of June was the bluest day that city ever
saw. Over 1000 properties were sold by
the Sheriff, and in almost every instance
the property was bought in by the mort.
gagee, or judgment creditor. The rich are
enriching themselves by obtaining for a
debt, representing say 40 per cent. of the
value of piece of real estate, property
worth more than twice the amount of the
debt. This is narrowing. Think of the
Sheriff's hammer, falling successfully for
eight hours, and each stroke, the type of
ruined hopes, the sad ending of struggle,
to have a shelter for the declining days of
ones life. Is it not enough to make strong
men shudder. "Next sale, =" said the Sheriff.
"will be still larger" "Next SALE" will
be upon the Sd of July. How MANY
groans of sorrow will be mixed with the
popular gratulations of the Centennial eve.
Very many of the sales are by building
associations, insurance companies, and such
like corporations. There seems to be less
mercy obtained from them than from in
dividuals
