Two Stories.
Boston Advertiser

A Massachusetts gentleman, just re-
turned from over the Canadian border,
tells us these stories: He was in the
hotel general.accommodation room,
when two veterans of the (hoteD bar,
laying schemes for drink, began to
tell stories to each other for his benefit.
"These are awful hard times" said
one. 81 never saw such times before,
except when was in Ohio, an then I
was hard put to It to git along. Nothin'
to do. I had a yoke of steers, but they
want earnin' nothin'. But I lived
right on the road the Western emf
grants went over every day. So dug
q hole in that road at the foot O. the
hill, near my house, turned ivin'
spring O. water into It, and madea good
mud-hole. Well, when the emigrants
came along, every day there would be
one or more teams stuck in my mud
hole, an they would see my steers
standin' out doin' nothin', an they
would send up an git me to come an
help 'em out; an I alwuz charged as
much as IS q lift. Well, l KEEP that
mud-hole right up in good repair till I
made $4,000 out on It, and then I sold
it out for $4,000, an moved up here"
Story number two was the other
Munchausen's companion piece for the
yoke of steers. "When I was a-chop-
pin'-I could chop some, you know
an folks used to ask me how much I
could do In o day. Have you ever
tried it?' says they. No, never, says
I; never but once, an that wasn't
really a try. You see, just to show 'em
what [ could do, 1 got up one winter
mornin' afore light, an ground up my
ak sharp, oh, jest as sharp, an went
into the woods. An I chopped like
sixty till about three o'clock In the
afternoon, when I thought it was as
much as could pile afore shutdown,
an went to pilin'. Well, when had
it all piled up it measured twenty
seven cord. An then [ knew some
thin was wrong, for I knew at the rate I
had been chopin it oughter be more.
So I went back an begun lookin'
round to see what the trouble was.
An there, right at the fust tree cut in
the mornin' WAS my ax-head. You see,
the thing was loose an slipped off, an
[ had been chopin ali day with the
bare heive."

A PARIS knick-knack termed Goa
pid's maret," and in favor for the Ger.
man, deserves mention. It comprises
a pair of card board scales, covered
with silt paper, which are hung over
two baskets, one containing small
hearts for ladies and the other some
what larger ones for gentlemen. The
couple who conduct the german dis
tribute these to the dancers. Each
couple, after having waltzed once
around the circle, places his and her
particular heart in the scales; If they
do not weigh exactly the same amount
the pair are separated, and the lady
has to stand up in the centre until 8
gentleman appears whose heart has
the same intrinsic value in point of
ounces. The "Foire aux Legumes,' u
or vegetable fair, is q similar figure; in
this are heaps of cardboard carrots,
radishes, &C., in place of the hearts,
which, scattered among the company
must discover their corresponding veg
etable in the dance. -

consumptive, like her father, and her
life always trembled on as delicate a
stem as harebell flower. She might
have lived on for years in peace and
sunshine, but the stormy atmosphere of
home gave her no rest. Her mother
still interfered with all she did, even
when she saw her dropping day by day,
If Tom took her away for journey,
the mother insisted on going too, and
Posy could not have the heart to re-
fuse. But travelling was no rest to eth
er mother or child, and it was torment
to Tom, who began to comprehend the
situation. Poor little Posy! She faded
before their eyes like q weary baby,

and wearing after death SO radiant q

lowed her quickly, worn out by grief
and remorse; for Tom, in the first
agony of his loss, told her what DR..
Evarts said, that peace and quiet might
have saved their darling. Tom hated
her name to his dying day, and never
married again, because he said one
mother-in-law was enough for life
