The Mute and the Sn,al! Boy.

A boy, apparently very much
agitatcd, rushed into n house the
other day and said to the lady;
II don't want to alarm yer, but
I've got big news, The man sent
me up from the livery stable to tell
yer"
"Good heavens ! what is it?"
"Why, yer know yer little boy,
AlGck, what the man can't keep
outen the livery stable round the
corner?"
"YcB, wcll?"
u told Alcck just nov not to go
inter the stable among the horses,
but he wouldn't mind me-"
"Oh, dear! Tell mo what has
happoned."
"ITo said ho wanted to SEQ what
n mule 'ud do when yer ticklcl its
heel with 4 straw"
"Oh, heavens - gasped tho lady,
as she clung to the mantcl for
support.
"Well, sir yer boy Aleck got q
straw, snuck up behind q Sorrcl
mule, tickled him on the heels
The lady started for the door
"And tho blamed oritter never
lifted q hoof," called the boy,
Never as much rs switched its

thing for Aleck that he didn't, too
and thought I'd tell yer"

Locks Of Iair from the Heads OF
Presidents.

In the Patent Office at Washing.
ton, there arc many objects Of in
tcrcst connected with the Govern
mcnt and those who administered
its affairs in times gone Ivy. While
examining some Of those objects OF
curiosity nothing struck It's 50 for
chilly as the samples of small locks
OF hair taken from the heads OF aif-
ferent Chief Magistrates, from
Washington down to President
Pierce, secured in frame covered
with glass. Here is, in fact, 4 part
and parcel of what constituted tho
living bodies Of those illustrious
individuals whose names arc as IA
miliar as household words, but who
now live only in history and the
remembrance Of the past.
The hair of Washington is near
ly n pure white, fine and smooth in
its appearance.
That Of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps q
little coarsor.
The hair Of Jefferson is OF a dif.
fercnt character, being q mixture Of
white and auburn, or a sandy
brown, and rather coarse. In his
youth Mr.. Jeiicrson's hair was re-
markablc for its bright color.
Tho hair of Madison is coarse
and of u mixed white and dark.
Tho hair of Monroe is Of u hand
some dark auburn, smooth and free
from any mixture. He is the only
cx-Prcsident excepting Pierce,
whose hair has undergone no
change in color.
The hair of John Quincy Adams
is somewhat peculiar, being coarse
and ofa yellowish gray in color.
The hair of General Jackson is
almost perfect white, hut coarse
in its character, as might be sup
posed by those who have examined
the portraits of the old hero.
The hair of Van Burcn is white
and smooth in appearance.
The hair of old General Harrison
is a fine white with u slight mix
ture Of black.
The hair Of John Tyler is 4 mix
turc of white and brown.
The hair of James X. Polk is al
most pure white.
The hair Of General Taylor is
white, with slight mixture of
brown.
The hair of Nfillard Fillmore is,
on the other hand, brown with Il
light mixture of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is u
dark brown, of which he had II
plentiful crop.
1t is somewhat remarkable, how
ever, that since Picrcc's time no
one has thought of preserving the
hair of his successors. There are
vacancies in the case; but there is
no hair either of Buchanan, Lin.
coin, Johnson or Grant, for the in
spection of futurity.-Ne0 York.

which hour Mr.. Meredith himself
bounced in, hot and flushed, with
the haste he had made.
"Whcrc is shc?" he cried.
"Whcrc is who?' said Kitty.
"NIy cousin from Chicago"
"Oh," said Kitty, "shc hasn't
Gomez
"Not Gomez"
"No."
Mr.. Meredith drew 4 long sigh Of
mingled regret and relief.
"Then after ALL" said he, "it's
not so nnlncky."
"What is not so unlucky?" pctu-
lantly demanded his wife. "My
dear Charles, you arc expressing
yourself altogether in riddles"
"That I forgot all about the
oysters and the zephyr wool and
the servant girl"
"Forgot
"Yes-forgot. Isn't that plain
Enlish cnough?"
"But you didn't forget" rcmon-
strated Mrs. Meredith. "You sent
her. She's now in the Kitchen"
Mr.. Meredith started. SI'vo sent
no onc," said he. 'Ncver thought
of tho girl from that moment to
this, l give you my word OF
honorw
"Thcn," slowly calculated Kitty,
"who did send hcr?"
"Ring the bell" said Mr.. Mere
dith. "Let's have her up! Who
knows but she's ono Of those regu-
lar confidence women with an oyc
to the forks and spoons"
And as he spoke he jerkcd tho
bcll-cord with some energy.
In q minute or so the new girl
came up, smiling and courtesying.
Mr.. Meredith uttered an cxclama-
ton Of amazcmcnt.
"Why, it's Martha Meredith ~
shouted he. "Its my cousin from
Chicago!"
And he claspcd her in his arms,
with n shower Of kisses which
made honest Toms hair stand on
end.
("I wish she was my cousin
from Chicago" in a voice asidc)
Kitty turned us scarlet as pep
per pod.
sob, good gracious~ she cried,
clasping her little hands nervously,
"and | took her for the cook! !"
"And I am q cook-when occa-
sion requires, cousin Kitty!" said
pretty Marthy Meredith, making
her peace with n kiss. "Don't be
vcxed with me for humoring the
joke, for indeed, indeed l could not
help it. And I'll show you how to
make those maringues. glacccs, and
the Napolitan creams tomorrow"
And they all sat happily down
together to roast quails and frai-
casscd rabbits-and Kitty and
Martha went together to the Intel
ligencc Bureau on the morrow and
established a NIilesian damsel in
the kitchen, who was not at all in
congruous to her surroundings
And Tom, leaning over his sis-
ters shoulder, whispered, wag-
gishly:
"Didn't I tell you she was gem
Of the first wator?"
