CnughtinHis own Trap.

a friend of Dean Swift one day
sent him a turbot as a present by a
servant who had frequently been on
similar erTands, but had never re-
ceived anything for his trouble.
Having gained admission, he OPEN
ed the study door and putting the
fish ON the floor, cried Otlt, rudely ::
"Master sent you a turbot."
"NOuug man." said the dean,
rising from his eaSy-chair, SIS that
the way YOU deliver a message
Let me teach you better manners.
Sit down in my chair we will
change places, and | will teach you
how To behave in the future"
The boy sat down, and the dean,
going out, came up to the door, and
making low bow, said
.'Sir, master presents his kind
compliments, hopes you are well,
and requests your acceptance of a
small present. y
. ssDoes he ?" replied the boy. ere
turn my best thanks, and here's
half a crown for yourself"
The dean, thus caught in his own
trap. laughed heartily, and gave
the boy a crown for his ready wit.
The teacher, as well as the scholar,
received a lesson that time. The
how certainly knew enough to make
his way through the world.

Old IIickOry's Bluff Way.
Hartford Post.

Long years after the capture of
Stony Point, when Andrew Jack
son was President, a visitor at the
White House remarked that the
Postmaster in his town (who "held
Over'') was an enemy to the Presi-
dent-had even been heard to call
him ga scOundrel''-and urged the
removal of the iII-mannered officer.
"What sort of a person is he ?''
inquired the President.
The visitor admitted that the
Postmaster was an aged and hon
orable man, and incidentally re-
marked that he was one of the sur
vivors of the battle of Stony Point
"What" said the President, ris-
ing from his chair. "Was he really
with Anthony Wayre at Stony
POint?''
"He certainly was" replied the
visitor.
"Well, them" said Old Hickory,
"by the Eternal! he has a perfect
right to call me a scOundrel every
day IN the week, and to be Post
master during his natural life"

The other day after q Swapping
young man had sold a load Of corn
and potatoes on the market and had
taken his team to a hotel barn to
ssfeed - Il became known to the
men around the barn that he was
very DESTROYS of joining some secret
society in town. When questioned
he admitted that such was the case,
and the boys at once offered TO ini-
tiate him in new order called the
s'Cavaliers of Coveo." he was told
that it was twice as secret as Free
Masonry, much nicer than Odd Fell
lOwship, and the cost was only two
dollars. In case he had the tooth
ache he could draw five dollars
week from the relief fund, and he
was entitled to receive ten dollars
for every headache, and twenty
five dollars for a sore throat.
The young man thought he had
struck a big thing, and after eating
hearty dinner he was taken in a
stOre-rOom above the barn to be in
itiated. The boys poured cold
water down his back, put flour on
his head, swore him to kill his
mother, if commanded, and rushed
him round for an hour without a
single complaint from his lips.
/ When they had finished heinquired;
"Now Pm one of the Cavaliers of
| COVeO, am / ?o
"You are" they answered.
Nothing more to learn, is there?'
Nothing"
''Well then, Pm going to lick the
whole crowdw continued the can
didate, and he went at it, and be-
fore he got through he had his two
dollars Initiation fee back, and three
more to boot, and had knocked
everybody down two or three times
apiece. He didn't seem greatly
disturbed in mind as he drove out
of the barn. On the contrary his
hat was slanted over, he had had a
fresh five-cent cigar between his
teeth, and he mildly said to one OF
the barn boys:
"Say, boy, if you hear of any cav.
alters asking for a CoveO about my
size, tell 'em I'll be in on the full
moon to take the Royal SkyfuglC
degrees.

A New Orleans dispatch of the
Sth instant says alt is learned
that the late Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey,
of Mississippi, who died in this city
last week, leaves a will bequeath-
ing her whole estate to jefferson
Davis. In making this bequest Mrs.
Dorsey refers to the great services
of Mr.. Davis in behalf of the South,
and regrets the small contribution
which she is able to make for his re-
lief. The estate embraced in the
legacy includes two large planta-
tions in the upper part of that State
and an elegant villa at BeauvOir, on
the sea coast, where Mr.. Davis is
now sojOurning, the climate and
situation of which have proved es-
pecially favorable to Mr.. Mr.. Davis
health, and his present occupation
of study and labor in the prepara-
ton of his book defensive of his adj
ministration of Office as President
of the Confederate States. This
legacy of Mrs Dorsey will make the
circumstances of Mr.. Davis quite
easy and comfortable.

Death and the Mystery beyond.
Christian Advocate

A child, three years old, was dy-
ing of scarlet fever. She fingered
long, and the last day Of her life she
was unconscious for hours. Many
times her mother tried to rouse her,
but in vain. She seemed to be
sinking away in death without a
token of recognition. Suddenly she
opened her eyes wide, lifted her
head and looked around the room
as though filled with wonder and
delight. She clapped her hands
and cried eagerly to her mother,
"Oh, mamma, see the beautiful
children % Her mother said,
"Where ?" ooh, all around" she
replied, and she turned her head as
though she saw them in every direc-
ton. No written words can de-
scribe the rapture of her lock and
voice. "They are coming, they are
coming, they are close to me-" she
said in a transport of joy. She put
up both hands, laughed out with
that gleeful, ringing sound peculiar
to little children, and then she died.

Godey,s Lady's Book for August

GOdey's Lady's Book for August
comes to us full of good things,
bright and fresh as an April daisy,
though August suns may wilt every
thing else. The sketch by barley
is beautiful seaside scene, that lit
tie folks may laugh over, and par
ents recognize as eXquisitely true to
nature. The mammoth c0lOred col
Ored fashion plate is unusually fine,
but in addition are many pages of
fashions in every detail for the ward
robe of a well dressed lady and her
children. The serials continue with
increased interest. There is n puri-
ty and sweetness about the girls in
the "Rosebud Garden" that will
well repay any readers for peep
over the fence. The literary de-
partment comprises names well
known to lovers of choice literature,
and is a well chosen bouquet of prose
and poetry. The Recipes are espe-
cially arranged for Garden Party,
one of the most popular forms of
fashionable hospitality. All the
usual features of the Book are given
in their best form, and there are al
ways new charms to be found in
Cooley. Send one dollar to the pub
Usher, and try it for six months.

why Lace is So Costly.

The finest specimen of Brussels
lace is so complicated as to require
the labor of seven persons in one
piece, and each operative is en-
ployed at distinct features of the
work. The thread used is of ex-
quisite fineness, which is spun in
dark underground rooms, where it
is sufficiently moist to keep the
thread from separating. 1t is so
delicate as scarcely to be seen, and
the room is so arranged that all the
light admitted shall fall upon the
work. 1t is such material that rem
ders the genuine Brussels lace so
costly. On a piece of Nalenciennes,
not two inches wide, from 200 to 300
bObbins are sometimes used; and
for a larger width as many as 800.
