IL Was Alive.

He was rather an uncouth look
ing individual, and as he sauntered
into the store the crowd sitting on
the barrels winked at each other
and made remarks about his per-
son.
"Where did 1t come from" ask
ed one, pointing at him.
Somebody left the door open
and IL blew in" said another.

third.
"Touch it and see," remarked a
fourth.

ed boisterously.

body. I'm a Christian, and l don't
believe in turmoil and strife and
can't participate in it. Ipray you.
worldly minded people, that you will
allow me to depart in peace" said
the new arrival.
One of the crowd, more daring
than the rest, hammered the mans
hat down over his eyes, and another
dabbed his nose full of molasses
from barrel standing by.
Then the Christian took q small
volume from his pocket and began
reading the Scriptures in a drawl-
ing sing-song tone.
While he was engaged at this
the crowd played all sorts Of tricks
on him.
One put some eggs in his pocket
and another smashed them.
Them the biggest man in the
house poured some oil on his and
hat lighted it.
The clerk hit him under the nose
with Goldfish.
Then that man quietly put the
little volume in his coat pocket, and
the clerk went head first into the
molasses barrel. When the biggest
man in the house picked himself
from under the counter it was next
to an impossibility to guess where
his nose left off and where the cod
fish began. No. made work for
the glaizer as he hit a ventilator in
the window. No. 2 Matched out
half barrel of eggs, and No. 3
got up on the pie shelf and stayed
there. As No. 4 walked out Of the
door on his back he wondered how
much it would cost to make him as
good as new, and the poor Christian
man remarked:
"The next time you pick me up
for SLOUGH look out you amt in
the wrong pew. Good day, fellers.'
The clerk is waiting for them to
come round and settle for damage
done, but they must have forgotten
where the place is as they pass
right by without looking in, aud
their bills remain unpaid.

HEAVEN.

oh, haven Is nearer than mortals think,
When they look with trembling dread,
At the misty future that stretches on,
From the silent home Of the dead.
IT'S no lonely isle on boundless main.
No brilliant, but distant shore,
Where the lovely ones who are called away,
Must 90 to return no more.
No, heaven Is near Us; the mighty ven
OF mortality blinds the eye,
That we can not see the angel bsnds
OF the shores Of eternity.
The that eyes shut in dying hour
VIII open the next in bliss;
The welcome will sound In the heavenly world
Ere the farewell is hushed in this.
We pass from the clasp Of mourning friends,
To the arms OF the loved and lost;
And those smiling faces win greet us there,
Which ON earth we have valued most.
Yet oft in the hour, Of holy thought,
To the thirsting soul rs given,
That power to pierce through the mist Of senee
To the beauteous scenes Of heaven,
Then very near seem, its pearly gates,
And sweetly its harpings fall;
TIL the soul il restless to soar away,
And longs for the angels call.
/ know when the silver cord IL ioosed,
When the veil is rent, away,
Not long and dark shall the passage be,
To the realm Of endless day.

Ciyility and Ceremony.

Nothing is more honorable and
pleasant than civility, and nothing
more ridiculous and burdensome
than ceremony. Civility teaches
Us to behave with proportionate
respect to everyone, according as
their rank requires and merit de-
mands. In other words, civility is
the science of men of the world.
A person of good address, who con-
ducts herself with due circumspec-
ton, conciliates the love and esteem
of society, because everyone finds
herself at ease in her company ;
but q ceremonious woman is the
plague of her acquance. Such a
one requires too much attention
to be O pleasant associate, is too
seldom satisfied with what is paid
her, and every moment feels her
pride hurt by the want Of some
frivolous etiquette. You connot
he too formal to her, nor can she
dispense with her formalities to
others. In short, ceremony was
invented by pride, to harrass us
with puerile solicitudes which we
should blush to he conversant with.

dispose of one-fourth of his estate by
VIII; II two children, of one-third; and if
put one child, one-half may he alienated
by viii; beyond this he cannot go. Pro-
vision is also made for the wife. Belgium
aud Holland have essentially the same
law. In Austria, Germany, and Switzer-
iand, the situation Is not greatly different
from that in France. 1t is very certain
that this different distribution of land o
tne Continent, as compared with the
United Kingdom, is what accounts
mostly for the different distribution of
wealth.
The tenants for life commonly have no
power OF selling and.oDly limited power
OF leasing. When there is power to soil,
the proceeds are nearly always directed
to be reinvested in the purchase of other
land to be held on similar conditions of
trust as the original. Hence, even where
power to sell is given the estates rarely
DIMINISH in size, but are usaully found
to Increase considerably, In many 10.
calities freehold land is scarcely to be
had on any terms, and the public is com.
PEELED to build on ground leased for, say
nlnety-nine years Here comes in another
Dad feature of the law. All houses built
upGn leased land become absolutely the
property of the landlord upon the expi.
ration of the leases, and entirely without
compensation to the owners. 1t often
happens that whole blocks of houses are
thus suddenly added to the possessions OF
| owners of the land. If the Dukes OF
Westminster and Portland and Lord
Portman could be interviewed on this
| subject, and made to tell the unvarnished
| truth, they could all tell of immense ad
| ditions to their London estates by thi,
means. In many large towns the create
part of the bouses are built upon LEASED
property, mostly for nInety-nine years
