Talleyrand's Opinions.

IT was at the time of the Revolution
of July, when the political situation was
decidedly complicated, that diplomat
list asked Talleyrand one night what was
his opinion as to the course of events,
"My opinion?" said Talleyrand, bland
ly. "Well, l have one opinion in the
morning, and another in the afternoon,
but never have an opinion at night. :"
The response is somewhat in the vein
of the assurance to the banker who at
the time the Bourse was agitated with
conflicting rumors as to the death
of George ILL.,, went to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs to pump him.
" All can tell you," replied Talley-
rand to his indiscreet questioner, sis
this: Some say he is dead, some say
he isn't; but for my part put no faith
in either story. This is confidence,
mindl You will be careful not to COM
promise me in any manner. Paris

neither advance nor retreat. Instantly
springing to the ground, he drew his
pistol, and placed the horse between
himself and the robbers. The sbarp
crack of rifle behind him, and the rush
of the ball over his head, caused him to
turn. Seeing the gambler whom he had
met at San Augustine galloping his horse
at full speed towards him, he prepared
to sell his life as dearly as possible The
man, dropping his gun to show that he
was not an enemy, approached. Recog-
nizing Quitman, he said:
"Captain, I'm mighty glad had the
chance to serve you. l and my partners
were coming this way, and 1, being in
the advance, saw, as turned the angle
of the path, the situation. Let's see il l
hit one of those robbers
On searching, they found traces of
blood, but no signs of the robbers.
Some years after, this gambler was
convicted of gambling, and sentenced to
six months imprisonment and one thou
sand dollars fine. Quitman paid one
half of the fine. The gambler, it is said,
subsequently reformed, and became an
estimable man, respected by all who
knew him.-Youth's Companion.

The Oyerawed Gambler.

THE cool, unfinching gaze of brave
man, it is said, will awe tiger. The
statement is perhaps an exaggerated
one, but we will tell an incident of a
man whose eye awed human tiger.
Some forty years ago, the citizens of
Natchez, aroused by the excuses of the
gamblers infesting their city, drove
them out, and threatened them with
death if they ever returned. Promi-
nent among those citizens were Capt
Quitman, a leading lawyer of Natchez
A month or two later, he and small
band crossed into Texas to aid those
who were fighting Santa Anna and his
Mexicans. Late one night Quitman ar
rived at San Augustine, where he found
the people overawed by large gang of
gamblers, some of whom had lately
come from Natchez. They recognized
him and resolved to have revenge. Quit
man quartered his men in large build
ing, while he occupied room in an adj
jacent house. He had just taken off his
coat, when the door was thrown yio-
lently open. A tall, fierce-looking man
entered. In his belt was a bowie-knife,
and in his right hand he held a pistol.
Fortunately, Quitman had not laid aside
his belt-pistols, and drawing one he
raised it quickly, so that the man was
covered by it.
&c know you and you know me-" he
said, looking the gambler calmly in the
eye. Il desire no quarrel with you, but
l don't fear you"
The gambler glared at him for mo.
ment, and then, his features relaxing
into a smile, said
"Captain, you're brave man, and
will be your FRIEND" and he retired
quietly closing the door after him.
A few weeks after, the war being al
an end, Capt. Quitman was returning
home overland, accompanied only by
his negro servant. Crossing a small
stream, and mounting the bank, which
had dense underwood on both sides, h,
found two trees felled across the path
Suspecting that he was in a trap, hi
turned and saw three men, armed will

Play Gently, Boys!

WHILE waiting for lady on whom /
called the other day, to come in, | look
ed through a photograph-album which
was lying upon the table.
The face of a young lad was so bright
and happy, looked at it long time.
The eye was large and very clear, the
brow broad and smooth. 1t was just
one of those faces that go with pleas
ant manner and voice with CHEEKY
ring in it. When the lady came in l
turned back to it and asked if he were
her son. The quick tears and the
trembling of her lip gave me the sad
answer before she spoke word.
At length she told me all about it,
and | will write it for you:
He was bright and good boy, al
ways cheerful, pleasant and obedient,
and so was very happy himself and
made his parents very happy.
One bright summer day, he, with
some mates, was playing croquet under
the trees, when the first school-bell
rang. The mother was sitting by the
window, and saw them quickly put
away the mallets and hasten to school.
Willie looked up and gave her a smile
and nod as he passed the window. And
she wondered within herself if it were
a mothers love that made him look so
handsome and SO noble to her, or if he
were really the tinest-looking boy of
all. And then she thought of all his
goodness and love, and what blessing
he was now to his parents, and what "a
staff and comfort he would be in the
old age that was creeping on them.
She did not see him again until he
came to tea. He did not eat much-in-
deed there is not much to eat in coun-
try tea, only bread in some form, but
ter, some little relish, and bit of
cake. He went out after it and lay
down in the hammock under a tree,
and it was nearly dark before he came
in. Then he said:
" Somehow, feel very tired, and my
head aches. I'll 90 to bed"
You have played too hard this hot
day, haven't your

school some of the fellows were playing

The mother examined the head, but
could find no bump, so bathed it all
He smiled YEARLY, kissed her, and went
to sleep. How little, rather how not
at-all, she dreamed it was her darling
boys last-laSt kiss!
She told his father and he went up
but Willie was asleep, and the father
thought he would be "all right in the
morning." and went out.
About an hour after, the mother went
up. He was tossing and turning, and
rocking his head, with low moan,
moan, moan. AS she looked, slight
spasm passed over his face. She sent
at once for physician. Soon the deal

midnight he was dead.

The "Darwin jerk"

A NEW method of saluting ladies on
the street has lately been adopted by
the nobbiest swell gentlemen of tender
years. 1t is done in one time and four
motions. The hat by a right-hand
grasp, is lifted from the head, brought
forward on line with the nose and
then Suddenly lowered to the pit of the
stomach, and then as suddenly the hat
is returned to its place, following the
same angular route. The head, at the
first time, must be bobbed forward
about three inches and Immediately
sprung back to its natural position. The
beauty and perfection of this salutation
depends upon the rapidity of the exc
cution of its movements. 1t is known
as the " Darwin jerk" because hand
organ monkeys put on and take off their
little caps with the same celebrity of mo-
ton.

Moving Tendencies.

To BEGIN at the beginning, Adam
and Eve moved out of the garden be-
cause they didn't comply with the con-
ditions of the lease. 1t didn't include
fruit.
Noah moved his whole family by
water, to get out of bad neightorhood.
and found after all that he had taken the
worst neighbors with him.
The children of Israel moved out of
Egypt between two days with a good
deal of their masters property in their
gripsacks, an example that has been
followed by professional gentlemen
many times since.
The Pilgrim fathers moved to Plym-
outh Rock, because they couldn't move
the rock to them.
Then the Indians began to move
West, because the white mans tene-
ments were held at too expensive rents
for them.
And the Chinese began to move East,
because they Josstled one another at
home.
And the Irish and English, Germans
and French, Italian orgsn-grinders and
Russian Mennonites, all began to move
over here, because they wanted more
land about their houses, and the privi-
lege of owning it themselves.
Thus the moving boom started, and
every possible excuse has been invented
for moving ever since.
Some people move because they have
got furniture that looks well on load,
and wish to stir up the envy of the
neighborhood. This doesn't work after
about three moves. The furniture
doesn't stand up to its good looks.
Occasionally a man moves because he
likes the excitement, but not often.
People move away from a neighbor-
hood where there are children because
they can't stand the noise, and find their
new house backs up against a tin-shop.
Serves 'em right.
Quarrelsome people are moved away
from only to find other people who not
only quarrel but steal the morning pa
per from the doorstep.
Some folks move because they want
more rooms and larger ones, and after
they get there find every carpet ward
and a half too small each way, s-'sss
Some folks move because they want
to get into a more fashionable neighbor-
hood, and find that it costs them three
times as much to dress as it did in the
old place.
Some folks move in order that they
may have a garden spot to cultivate,
and spend the summer in fighting pota-
to bugs off the front piazza. N. B.
Their bills for "garden sass ~ are I'M
usually large.
Some families move where there is a
plot of grass for a croquet ground, and
superinduce quarrel that ruins the
matrimonial prospects of the two older
daughters and cause the parish rector to
deliberately say "gosh.'
Some people move because the mort
gage inserts an advertisement in the
paper, and not because they want to.
Some people move to get cheaper
rent, and the first rain storm leaks
through the roof and spoils seventy-fve
dollars worth of carpets.
Some people move from force of hab-
it. The first of May would seem like
January to them, cold and cherries, if
they couldn't follow on behind load of
goods with Autograph of the ten COM
mandments in one hand and kerosene
lamp in the other.
Last, but not least, if you had paid
your rent in the old place you wouldn't
be obliged to move.-Neao Hauen Reg
lister.
