The man who has all the troubles Of
life aud who is continually recounting
them to anybody and everybody he
meets, is the oldest aud latest nuisance
Of street social life. He is the ancient
mariner who holds the wedding guest
spell bound with his glittering eye and
dismal tale. There is a fable somewhere,
probably in Addison's Spectator, that
every human being who carried troubles
on bis shoulders was invited to throw his
sack full Of troubles into a common
heap, and then the heap Of troubles was
to be equally divided among mankind.
When this was done by the gods no one
was satisfied, although the burden Of
troubles was equal on each, and each
being asked the gods to give him back
his own old burden Of troubles, which
was far more preferable aud lighter than
those presented to him in the division.
This story has a moral, and the moral is:
Be satisfied with your own troubles Of
life, and keep such troubles to yourself,
because you are not the only person
having troubles, aud your burdens are
not the heaviest, but may be the lightest
in the world.

OvergrOwn Noses.

The owners of. big noses or pug noses
will rejoice to learn that a cure or
remedy for the deformity has been at last
discovered. DR.. Cid, an inventive sur.
geon of Paris, noticed hat elderly peo.
pie, who for a long time have worn eye
glasses supported on the nose by a
spring, are apt to have this organ long
and thin. This he attributes to the com
preston which the spring exerts on the
arteries by which the nose is nourished
The idea occurred to him that the hint
could be made useful. Not long after
ward a young lady Of fifteen consulted
him TO see if he could restore to moder.
ate dimensions her nose, which was large,
Aeshy and unsightly. The trait he found
was hereditary ia her family, as her
mother and sister we're similarly affected
This was Encouraging, as hereditary pc
culiarities are particularly obstinate. He
took exact measurement, and had con
structed for her a "lunette pince.nez"-
a spring and pad for COMPRISING the ar
terry, which was worn at night and when
ever she conveniently could in the day
In three weeka q consolatory ~diminutior
was evident, and in three months the
young lady was quite satisfied with thu
Improvement in her features.

scene. In the center of the room and directly be-
hind the chair occupied by Mrs. Grant was an azaiea
tree. ten feet in hight, covered with perfect
mass of pink blossoms. In the alcOves OF
the windows on either side were placed
large palms, while festoOned between the

with bands of smilax, producing very exquisite
effect Beside the plate # each guest was placed
bouquet of flowers about the size of those usually ar
ranged for the opera. The Epernges placed in the

decoratcc with moss and flowers. Festoons Of sml'

rious sizes and color and of delicate workmanship
were plrccd beside each plate.
During the arrangement Of the table in the after
noon Mrs. Grant, with a lady friend, visited the
banquet han, and while there gave expression to
some generous and delicate sentiments very
characteristic of her. She said that while she spent
eight very pleasant years in the White House. she
left it without regret or an envous thought. IL
anything made her happier on this occasion than
another it was because her place was TO be filled by
such an estmable woman az Mrs. Hayes. Mrs.
Grant as well as every one else who has made Mrs.
Hayess acquaintance during the short time since
her arrival here, speaks of her in terms Of the
greatest respect and admiration. All predict that
she will preside at the White House with moro
grace and dignity than any lady has done for many
years.
