The Evidence of an Expert

"Mahlstick," the chatty New York
correspondent OF the Louisville Courier
Journal, tells this little story concern
ing Mcdonald, the sculptor: Melon
aid was captured ny the Sheriff a day
OF two since to give his evidence as an
expert as to the value of a picture. He
gave it. The lawyers wished him to
prove that he was an expert, and asked
him what he knew about art. Mac can
talk a thunder storm into "a whisper.
He commenced an essay upon art with
the myth Of the Corinthian maiden,
drawing the likeness of her lover by
tracing the outline of his shadow cast
upon the wall. He then gave a most
exhaustive description of Greek art,
with the private and public lives of
Apelles and Zeuxis. From this he came
down to the religious schools of Italy,
strolled ~leisurely through the old mas
ters, giving "a history of their pictures
and comparisons of their styles, went
and lived with the Spaniards, made a
long call upon the Flemings, and finally
got down to the limitless expanse of
modern art. The Judge went to sleep,
the lawyers read Daniel Deronda, the
officers went off to a matinee, and the
spectators, reduced to a comatose state,
glared helplessly at the pitiless nara.

at the toll-gates of swell" and $50
The Ancient Mariner, by comparison
with the sculptor, became a pleasing
comparison with a light and chatty
style of conversation. When the ter
rible essay came to an end, the witness
was asked the value of the picture. II,
thought 1t might be worth $50. TIL,
price sued for was $500. Mac is nov
free Of all the courts in the city. HI
will never be a witness again until he Il

A Nova Scotia EnOch Arden.

About five years ago a man left this
city for the United States to seek work,
his wife and three children remaining
here. A year afterward the wife heard
he was sick in a New York hospital, and
subsequently that he was dead. After a
lapse of two years she grew tired of her
supposed widowhood, and gave her
hand and heart to another, by whom
she has one or two children. The per-
sons reside in the north end of the city F.;
and toward the end of this week q letter
has been received by the wife from her
former husband, who is alive and well
in Texas, and talks about coming on.
The family are respectable, and these
things fell like a bombshell among them.
The second husband is in great distress
over the unfortunate affair, and wishes
to leave the country. The moral OF
these cases is that it will become dan.
gerous to marry a widow on trust thai
her husband is dead, unless the corpse
is produced Halitd1 Recorder.

sunlight and pure air freely
enter.
Dark rooms bring depression of spir.
its, ~imparting a sense OF confinement,
of isolation, of powerlessness, which is
chilling to energy and vigor; but in
light rooms is good cheer.
Even in a gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and brown,
you have but to take down the heavy
curtains, open wide the window, hang
brackets on either side, set Hower-potl
on the brackets, and let the warm SUI
stream freely in, to bring health to ouI
bodies and JOY to our souls. Serb
