Unknown. vet Well known.

Did you never meet persons whom
your heart recognizes instantly? Not
because they are handsome, or graceful,
or Well-costumed, because from these
signal-fags of disappointment you have
so often turned away, that they are more
likely to repel than attract you. / allude
to spiritual, not physical, magnetism.
A mournful soul, perhaps looking from
out the window of. the eye, challenging
your sympathy with mute eloquenee as
you pass. Or, if your own soul is unquiet
and restless, and vexed with the worlds
fever, the soothing presence in a crowd
of strange face, placid and pure as that
of infancy. Or you hear a voice, deep
and heart-toned, and turn instinctively
in the crowd to look for its owner, who,
by that unmistakable token, you are sure
has soul, and as you listen, the sound
cheers you like the sunlight.
And yet we often ignorantly call such
strangers" Strangers! what though
neither know the earthly name by which
we are called, when such things can be;
when for that brief instant in some pub
lie place, both listening to some noble
sentiment from great-souled speaker,
one filling eye accidentally meets anOth-
er, and the same heart-pulses are stirred,
or we smile simultaneously at what
pleases each, without remembering that
we have mot been introduced" What
matters it that we never meet again for
that moment, at least, have not our souls
spoken? Daily meet faces In my walks
which move me to pity or love, as read
their whole histories and sometimes

One Of Lincoln,s .cLittle Stories. ?,

In Scribner's Magazine Mr.. Noah Brooks
prints number of new anecdotes of
Lincoln, elected by his Lincoln reminis-
cences in former numbers. The follow
ing is one of them:
"A young gentleman in Tennessee was
once travelling country road, mounted
on fine black racing horse of great val
ne. His casual companion was shrewd
old fellow, who was known in those
parts as a Yankee, and rode rack-o'-
bones of a horse, apparently hardly able
to stand on his feet. The Yankee BAN
tered the southerner for a horse trade,
which of course the southerner declined.
The Yankee, however, insisted that his
was a very remarkable horse, of what
was known as the setter breed, which
sets for big game as a dog sets for small
game, and that as animals of this breed
are very scarce, his morse was according
ly valuable. The Yankee soon had an
opportunity to demonstrate the truth of
his statement, as his horse had the pecu-
Harity of dropping on all-fours when
touched in certain spot by the spur or
heel of the rider. The Yankee seeing a
deer on a knoll not far away, touched
his raw bones in the tender spot, and,
buIC 0OWn hOAA1 OAA ehAA AONA4
assuring the southerner that there was
game ahead. The would-be-horse-trader
told the southerner that there must be
game near by, for his horse never set in
that way except when on the scent of
game. Immediately after, the deer made
its appearance to the southerner, who
succeeded in bringing him down, and so
much pleased was he with the wonder
full instinct of the horse that he immedi-
ately swapped with the Yankee, on even
terms. Soon after they came to stream
which the Yankee, mounted on the
southerner's fine horse, crossed in good
style; then standing on the opposite
bank he looked back after his companion.
The setter horse had sunk, his head be-
ing hardly above water; his rider was
dismounted and nearly drowned. Reach
ing the bank and blowing the water from
his mouth, he exclaimed: Here, you
internal Yankee what kind of a horse
is this to ,.rop on his knees in the mid
die of stream? Hush! hush ? replied
the Yankee, keep perfectly quiet. That's
a setter horse he sets for fish as well as
for deer, and 1 tell you there's game
there p"

A Tenor Calls .FncOre.y

he was tenor singer in one of the
opera companies that visited Cincinnati
this season. He was good singer, and
everything he sang the audience, with
that determination to get the full value
of their money and little more, which
Is peculiarity of Cincinnati audiences
at an opera or concert, always insisted
upon an encore. And he responded
good naturely, although he thought it a
lttIe hard to be compelled to perform
double the work set down on the bills
every night One day while promenade
ing Fourth street it occurred to him TO
do little encoring himself and see how
it worked. He stepped into a hat store
and inquired of the proprietor whocaroe
forward to wait upon him, the price of a
silk hat. "Seyen dollars" wasthe replv
He selected one that fitted him and paid
for it, then he shouted: "Encoref en-
coreP
"What do you meant" inquired the
proprietor, in amazement.
Il mean that want another hat"
Certainly" said the proprietor, as he
placed duplicate upon the counter,
wondering what the man wanted with
two hats.
The tenor picked them both up and
started for the door.
"Hold onP' cried the halter. @you
didn't pay for the other hat"
But I paid for the first one, and the
other is an encore" replied the tenor.
Seeing that the man of hats, caps and
furs failed to comprehend, he said:
Il think 1 saw you at the opera last
night?"
ayes, I was there. But I don't see
what that has to do with your payingme
''Wait a bit You paid to hear the
opera that was on tho programme?7
Yes. Certainly; of course I did. 1
viii call the two hats"
''No matter about calling the two hats.
You didn't pay to have that opera gone
through with twice, did your
."HOw absurd Certainly not. 'Spose
we say twelve dollars for both"
'Say nothing until get through. I
am the tenor Of that opera troupe. Ev-
cry song that I sangI was called upon
to repeat, and if I am not mistaken you
clapped harder than any one else in the
theater. And I had to give you double
the amount of goods that you had paid
for, don't you seeP'
The hat-store man did see by that
time, and he said to the tenor, aI ae-
knowledge the corn; you can take my
hat !" but he wouldn't; he only took the
one he had paid for, and with feeling
of satisfaction that he had impressed a
lesson upon one Cincinnati man who
would encore everything, he walked out
and with genial smile pursued the even
tenor of his way.-Cfl. Saturday Night.

A Case in Law.

Some time during the past summer
ease in law of considerable interest
came I'D and was tried before Justice L.,
in an eastern village.
at seems that the orchard OF one OF
our honest old farmers had been at diff
ferent times visited, and many of the
best trees robbed of their fruit. OF
course Farmer E. had quite a curl
osity 10 find out who was in the habit of
appropriating his apples. So cautiously
concealing himself in the shadow of the
fence, he discovered fellow in the act
of filling his bag with his best fruit.
Farmer E started for the youth
with his gun, but the fellow took to his
heels and was in the act of getting over
the fence when discharge from the gun
laid him low
"On the trial, the boy, who was pres
ent, testified to the shooting, that large
number of shot entered his back, and
although many had been removed, sun
there were many left that plagued MN
considerably
"The Doctor, who was called, testified
to the fact of finding number Of shot
in the flesh, of extracting some, and Of
the impossibility of removing all, and of
the strong probability that complainant
would always carry about his person a
supply of lead.
tgfhe lawyers rested the case, and the
learned Justice rose to instruct the jury,
when, from the farther corner of the
room appeared the form of very beneyy-
olent but extremely seedy-lookihg lndl,
vidual, who looking over large ana
very rusty pair of spectacles; and point
ing his long finger at the injured boy,
exclaimed,
truly say with the poet,
"a charge to keep I have"
"The effect was irresistible. Justice,
Jury, lawyers, and audience were Instant
" convulsed with uncomfortable laugh
ter, and for ten minutes or more business
was completely suspended. The verdict
when rendered, was, No cause of ao-
tion,"

The Imagination.

Iulplns mentions painter who verify
believed that all the bones of his body
were so soft and flexible that they might
easily be crushed together, or folded one
within another, like pieces of pliable
wax. A Lusitanian doctor had patient
who insisted that he was perpetually
frozen, and would sit before a great fire
even in dog-days. The doctor made him
a dress of rough sheep-skins, saturated
with aqua vitae, and set him on fire. He
then said he was quite warm, rather too
much so, and so was cured.
Galen and Avicenra make mention of
people who have fancied themselves
earthen pots, and therefore have carefully
avoided being touched for fear they
should be broken. Then there is the
case of the insane matchmaker mention
ed by Pinel, who insisted that he had
been guillotined, and that another head
had afterwards, by mistake, been put on
his shoulders, instead ofhis own. 7Look
at these teeth" he would say, "mine were
extremely handsome these are decay
ed. NY mouth was sound and health
this is foul. How different is the hair
from that of my own head"
Mr.. Haslam, in his work on insanity,
a case of one who insisted that
he had no mouth, and when compel
led by force to swallow, declared that a
wound had been made in his throat,
through which the food had been intro
duced. Benvenuto Cellini, the celebrat-
ed Florentine artist, in his life, says that
the governor of the castle in which the
former was confined had a periodical dis
order of this sort !; every year he had
some different whim. One time he con-
ceived himself changed into pitcher of
oil; another time he thought himself
frog, and began to leap as such another
time, again, he imagined he was dead,
and it was found necessary to humor his
conceit by making a show of burying
him. At length he thought himself
bat, and when he went to take walk,
be sometimes made just such noise as
bats do; he likewise used gestures with
his hands and body, as if he were going
to fly.
Noses have been know to be particu-
Iarly troublesome to hypochondriacs. One
man fancied that his nose was of ludi-
crous length, and consequently kept
backing off as his friends approached to
hold I. parley with him, fearing that he
should put their eyes out. It is said that
this same deluded possessor
Of a long nose might have been seen go
ing along the street, guiding his nose
with his hand to keep it from breaking
.he shop windows.

THE TEAR.

When man begins his pilgrimage on earth,
Forth springs the tear the partner Of lis birth.
And, with the kiss that bids him welcome here,
The mothers rapture rrembles in the tear.
AS years glide by, and man maturer grows,
With passions fire his youthful bosom glows;
The virgins eyes reveal that he is dear,
And Il love thee" speaks eloquent the tear
How fair the tear on her fair cheek deserted
When on her loved ones look the future bride.
The twain made one, illusions disappear.
And toll and troubls bring the bitter tear.
Yet. when mans hopes seem crumbling into dust,
The wife points upwards fun OF holy trust,
To heavens bright azure. 70 the starry sphere,
And. "oh. despair notF speaks the glistening tear
But man grows old; the parting hours at hand
Around bis couch his sorrOwing kindred stand;
Then, as loves final tribute pure and clear,
Flows from each eye the fond, regretful tear.
Lit with glory borrowed nom above,
On all the old man bends glance of love;
The last strife comes and life's goal yet more near
.'We'n meet again, prophetic, speaks the tear.

Business Maxims.

Be silent when fool talks.
Caution is the father of security.
Great bargains have ruined many.
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
Never take back a discharged servant
Never speak boastingly of your bust
ness.
Do not waste time in useless regrets
over losses.
No man can be successful who neglects
his business.
Word by word Webster's big diction-
airy was made.
Speak well of your friends-of your
enemies say nothing.
Give foolish talker rope enough and
he will hang himself.
An hour of triumph comes at last to
those who watch and wait.
1t is harder for the hungry man to wait
when he smells the roast meat.
If you post your servants upon your
affairs they will one day rend you.
Do your business promptly, and bore
not business man with long visits.
systematic your business and keep an
eye on little expenses. Small leaks sink
great ships.
