vein like silver ores running parallel with

There il also found IN the wax veinlets OF q

the wax in these outcroppings varies in diff

some instances the clay in the insterciscs

We have recently heard, says the Boston

individuality and independence so strongly
that We wonder of what original springs

more ordinary neigbbOrs. This man
keeps general" He has kept the same
store for twenty years, and one would
almost ssy the same stock, judging from
- thoroughly mixed-up condition and the
liberal accumulation of dist He hires
no attendant, but does all the work OF buy
in and selling himself OF course he can
not always be in the store; he must eat like
other people. When he has occasion to go
away he goes and locss uP the store. He
locks up the store when he is i'll; he locks
itup when he come to Bpston 10 buy goods.
In spite of this irregular proceeding he
has acquired money and not 4 little Of ii
too. But the really queer thing about the
man and his store remains to be.toid. In a
corner, more dusty than apy thing else in
the place, s;aud two demijphns. There
they have stood since the fret year this
man began business. They were brought
by an old countryman to be filled with
molasses and vinegar. As ne took one in
each hand to carry then to the cart at the
door, he said he would settle for them the
next week when he came down. But the
storekeeper had a better plan ant suggested
mildly that the jugs better be left too, till
the next week, when their contents could
be paid for. "All right" responded the
countryman, and he set the jugs down and
went away. And there thee vessels have
stool ever since and have never Teen

this intimate and admirer Of Mrs. Stewart:
"She ia the most youthful woman OF her

feelings manners, aud mental
powers as she is still youthful IN personal
appearance. Her brown hair parted and
simply banded on each eide Of her head,
is untouched with thread Of silver. Her
eyes, blue in one light, and hazel in an
other are sipgulsrly brilliant, having the
clear rounded corner, rarely seen in the
eyes after thirty years of sge. There are
no very preceptible marks OF age in the
lines of her face her cheeks are round and
rosy, her skin smooth, her complexion
clear, her lips full and smiling. Her
temper ia sweet and afiectionate. She is OF
medium height, neither stout nor spare.
Her carriage ia erect, her walk light and
graceful. Her judgment on all matters OF
business, public or private, is excellent.
To this she adds the most liberal and
judicious privste-strictly private-chsr-

who has known her intimately for the last

which are very curious, very little under
stood, and which IN many ways r.s. mble,
while in others they s.em TO differ from,
the laws Of other uudrvsloped people-.
Wives are chiefly taken by exchange. The
dominant male Of group-father, eldest
brother or uncle-has the customary right
of swapping away the young women oil the
group in exchange for other young women
whom il is lawful for him TO marry. 1t is
clear that old men with families hsve the
best chance of getting more wives, while
young men with no sisters are like TO re-
main bachelors Ii this system worked
itself out, each trite would con-
sist of few overgrown harems
and set of wild bachelors. As it hap
pens, young men and women revolt against
the old, and voluntary elopemen's or mar
riages by capture are common. The course
of true love runs anything but smooth.
The lover is exposed 10 the "ordesl OF
spesrs," VII ch are hurled at him by the
relatives OF the lady. The runaway bride
is beaten, perhaps her feet are speared, to
prevent her from running away sgain. II
young pair are courageous and true to
each other, howsver, the sympathy Of the
groupe ally comes round TO them, and
they enter on peaceful married life. 1t has
been said that the old men sometimes give
wives TO the young, who thus take stock, v

way, the vassalls of the old fellows. So

thorities, very Australian state Of things

The Clergy Of Shake.peare-- Day.

. The Clergy Of Shake.peare's Day.
The humblest mechanic of England to-
day has comforts and conveniences which
the riches; mobiles lacked in Harrison's day,
but il was nevertheless an age of great lux
ury and extravaganza; OF brave apparel,
Costly and snowy beyond that of any Con-
tinental people, though wanting in refined
taste, and of mighty banquets, with service
of massive plate, troops OF attendants, and
eurfeit of rich food and strong drink.
In this luxury the clergy Of barrison's
rank did not share. Harrison was poor on
forty pounds year. He complains that
the clergy were taxed more than ever, the
church having become IAN ass whereon
every man is to ride TO market and cast
his wallet" They paid tenth and fret
fruits and subsidies, go that out of twenty
pounds of benehce the incumbent did not
reserve more than el3 Ga. Sd. for himself
and his family. They had to pay for both
prince and laity, and both grumbled at
and elandered them. Harrison gives q
good account of the higher clergy; he says
the bishops were loved for their painful
diligence in their calling, and that the
clergy of England were reputed on the
Continent a. learned diviues, skillful in
Greek and Hebrew aud in the Latin tongue.
There wss, however, a scarcity of preachers
and ministers in Eliz abeth's time, and their
chars ler was rot generally high. What
could be expected when covetous patrons
Cancelled their debts TO their servants by
bestowing sdvowsons of benetices upon their
bakers. buffers, cooks, grooms, pages and
lsckeys-when even in the universities
there was cheating at elections for scholar
ships and tellowships, and gifts were for
sale. The morals of the clergy were, how
ever, improved By frequent conferences, At
which the good were praised and the bad
reprovet; and th,se conferences were "a
notable spur unto all the minister, where
by to apply their books, which o,nerwise
las in times past would give themselves to
hawking, hunting, tables, cards, dice, tin
ling at the ale hons, shooting and other like
vanities." The clergy held social rank with
trades people; their sons learned trades
and their daughter might 60 out to service.
