to clean up his apartments. HIS in.
structions on engaging her were to the
effect that as he arose by 8 O'Clock in
the morning she could come as soon
after that as possible and attend to put
ting his apartments to rights. During
the week days he arose regularly and
she came on time, tidied up the place
and left; but on Sunday morning, this
individual thought as it was a day of
st that a little ease in bed would i'm
! prove his health. and accordingly turned
over to indulge in another little nap,
totally forgetting his instructions to the
old lady He was aroused shortly after
wards by approaching foot steps. and re-
membering then the instructions given,
knew it was the feminine bent on invad-
ing the premises. SO he called out at the
top of his voice. Mrs. -, don't
come in; I'm in bed;' but the old lady
being deaf could not hear word he said
and commenced opening the door This
showed the gentleman that vigorous
action was necessary, 80 he hastily
sprang out Of bed, in his undressed uni
form. and pressing against the partially
opened door, succeeded in closing it.
Holding his weight against the door he
thought all was secure and waited for
the old woman to retire 80 he could make
hasty toilette. She did retire, but not
as be expected, as she, thinking that
something prevented the opening
of the door. went around to the
window of the room; she gazed in and
observed the obstruction, thought that
she Eiust be ahead of time and retired.
, The gentleman tainted, but after coming
, to he changed his instructions in regard
, to the time to come on Sunday.
HELIANTHUs.-H elianthus is the CLASH
cal name for garden flower which
fourishes and blooms in the toughest
kind OF soil, and don't need much care
either to make 1t flourish and bloom.
The classical portion of it is high.sound-
|, ing, and from the name, if one was not
posted, it would be supposed that it was
] something similar to the heliotrope, rose,
: or flower of delicate perfume. Thus
e thought one of our Piochers about this
5 time last season, and believing in the
higb-sounding name. purchased an ex-
tensive lot of the seed, planting them all
:, over the garden adjacent to the resi-
dence. The seeds were regularly watered
: and tended with the utmost care and it
! was not long before the sprouts appeared,
: and in few shor. months the first one
: bloomed-it was o sunfower. Thinking
D that probably sunhower seed had become
mixed with the helianthus seed pur-
chased. time was given for the others to
bloom. and when they did so, appeared
as sunhowers. The wrath of the seed
purchaser was visible to the naked eye,
D as with hoe in hand he-stalk, branch
and seed-rooted them from earth
which knew them last Summer. No
more Helisnthus seed for that florist.
