Swinburue's Alteration.

Swinburne called on Browning, who
received him courteously, and babe him
be seated much marveing the while
why he carried with him small foot
stool. The mystery was soo1 cleared
up. for Swinburne laid the foot-stool at
Browning's feet and sat himself there
upon. He could not arrogate equality
with a master of the divine art his
sole ambition was to sit at his feet.
Browning was profoundly bored, and in
mortal fear that SOMEBODY might call
and become a spectator of the inter
view. He knew his vis;ter well enough
to understand that the latter would not
bulge for an intruder. 1t speaks vol
umes for Browning's urbanity that he
conversed patiently and composedly
with the erratic one for the space Of an
hour then-for humanity is frail, and
some men will not take a hint-his
nerves gave way.
"And now" said the host, ''yol must
forgive me, for l have an appointment,
and must CO." Swinburne took UP his
stool and preceded Browning down
stairs. In the hall he observed that he
had special favor to ask. Browning
assured him he would do anything in
his power to be o: service to him. Swim
burne replied at is that you would al
low me TO sit at your feet Tor yet another
five minutes. Browning assented, and
the pair walked up stairs again. Swim
burne carefully replaced his foot-stooi,
and sat out the full FIVE minutes ; but,
to do him justice, no longer. Brown.
ing's face, when his guest had finally de-
parted, must have been study.-La-

New Fashion.

The fashions for girls who elope now
are very plain. Some white drapery, q
convenient window, a long ladder, q
dark night, a coach, minister and the
horses Of Q. friend, and the elopement IS
over If the,irate father, armed with a
double bareled coal shovel and town
constable, does not pursue, the affair is,
although a picturesque, not exactly q
successful elopement. If the father OF
the bride relents within two days the
foolish couple are not happy. If 1t
leaks out that the mother of the bride
is IN the secret, much of the pleasure OF
the trip is spoiled. If both father and
mother OF the bride are in the secret Of
her going away and have actually left
the ladder near the window, and that
fact is found out, the elopement is q
failure. In the olden time the clipping
bride packee all her portable goods on
herself and went away heavily laden.
Now, as she is about to return in day
or two in her lady friends dress, shs
goes away quite light.

Some Strange Avocations.

Said a witness under cross eXamina-
ton: Il am an early-caller. l calls
different tradesmen at early hours, from
i till $50 in the morning, and that is
how get my living gets up between
u and / goes to bed at and sleeps
till the afternoon. 1 calls bakers be.
tween l and 2-the bakers are the
earliest of ALL"
What sort of living he made is not
recorded. A pound a week, we should
say, would be the outside figure, and to
earn that he would need couple of
scores of customers. The early-caller's
fee is well earned, since but for his
intervention his clients would often
lose days pay, if not be thrown out
of work altogether, by failing to keep
time.
There are men in Paris, birds of
feather with the chifonier, who go from
hopital to hospital collecting the linseed
plasters that have served the turn of
doctor and patient; afterward pressing
the oil from the linseed, and disposing
of the linen, after bleaching it, to the
paper maker. Others make couple
of francs q day by collecting old cork,
which, being cleaned and pared, fetch,
it is said the price OF half a frame per
hundred
A lady resident of the Faubourg st.
Germans is credited with earning a
. good income by Matching red, black and
brown ants tor pheasant preservers.
One Partisan gets his living by breeding
maggots out of the foul meats he buys
of the chifoniers and fattening them up
in the boxes. Another breeds maggots
for the special behoof of nightingales;
and a third marchand d'asticots boasts
of selling between thirty and forty mil
lions Of worms every year for piscator-
ial purposes. He owns great pit at
Nominate, wherein he keeps his store.
Every day his scouts bring him fresh
stock, for which he pays them from ) to

bic those rates and clearing thereby

Use Plain Language.

The story is told of a sophomore in
college who brought his composition to
the tutor for examination and correc-
ton. It's subject was Conscience,
and one of its sentences read, 1.-The ma
ture and province of conscience are such
that, in view of the revealed and per-
feet standard of truth and duty, this IN
ward monitor enables us to discriminate
between that which, on the one hand, is
forbidden and evil in it's tendency, and
that on the other which is commanded
and correct in theory and beneficial! in
practice"
AS the tutor read the sentence, ne
said to the student, "What exactly do
you mean by that p
"Why," said the latter, 81 mean that
conscience tells us when we do right and
when we do wrong"
"rhen why didn't you say SOL @ said
the tutor And the lesson is, "Say
what you have to say in few words,
and in words so plain that all may un-
derstand your meaning"
Not long since we heard OF return
ing missionary who p cached a sermon
one Sabbath morning on missions to the
Gland of Sieim )" and half his hearers
did not know what land he meant, till,
in the evening, the pastor of the church
explained that by Sieim he meant China
And the story is told Of city minis
ter, who, after preaching for Q friend in
the country, was told by the latter, "You
have given us very good sermon, with
one exception, and that is, you used
some words our people don't under
stand" The former thought the latter
was ertainly mistaken, and asked what
single word he had used that all could
not easily understand.
"Why," replied the other, ''you said
felicity instead of happiness Now,
all our people know what happiness is;
but . great many Of them, am sure,
do not know the meaning of felicity"
As the preacher doubted this, the cOun-
t,y minister said "There comes ono Of
our plain, sensible farmers, we will ask
him."
And as the farmer came up he said,
1--WE were just speaking about word
the word felicity" can you tell US what
is its meaningw "Why, yes" said the
farmer certainly I know what fe-
licity is it is something inside pig,
though don't know exactly what"
| Edward Everett once said he had long
since found that the great mass Of what
are called plain and common people
could always understand q speaker if he
understood himself and used plain and
simPle language.

Meaningless Expressions.

When you have been writing to a
stranger on formal matter of business,
have you ever thought how hypocritical,
false and absurd you were when you
saw above your signature, "very respect
fully, your obedient servant p Possibly
you had occasion to write a sharp, sar-
castle, unfriedly letter, but you added
the same unmeaning falsehocd. You
said you were respectfully" his, when
you expressed contempt for him. You
were his " obedient servant" when you
would not stoop to comply with re-
quest, much less an order. The custom,
doubtless, has come down from those
good old days when letter writing was
such very formal affair that it was
thought necessary to surround it with
ceremonious vcrbiage AS we have
abolished slavery, and one man is az
good as another-and great deal bet
ter sometimes-it would be the means
of elevatiI.g the moral tone Of the com
munity if correspondents would cease to
make use Of that meaningless, submis
sive admission, 81 have the honor tc
be, very respectfully, your obedient ser
want"

A Woman's Logic,

4 gentleman who lives near our de-
lightful suburb, Mount Washington, has
a very fine potato patch that is greatly
troubled with that terrible destroyer, the
potato bug He has done everything
and tried everything to exterminate the
bugs, but all has proved of no use.
A few days since young lady friend
daughter of a neighbor, visited his house
and the gentleman questioned her as to
how they got rid of the bugs at her
fathers.
care you troubled much" said he,
"with the bugs at your place !"
"No. not much" said she.
"Well, how do you get rid Of them :
What DO you dol'
1--WE don't do anything at all" said
She
"Don't you sse Paris sreens" said he.
"No, sir, we don't, said the young
lady.
"WilI you please tell me, then" said
the gentleman, somewhat nettled at her
replies, "why you are net bothered with
the bugs on your potatoes, as ann"
BY this time the young lady had got
up to 60, and lust as she tied her bon
net strings and was going down the step
she turned and said
"Well, l suppose it's because we have
no potatoes"
The gentleman had nothing more to
say.

A minister was questioning his Sun
day school concerning the story of Euly-
chus-the young man who, listening to
the preaching of the Apostle Paul, fell
asleep, and, falling down, was taken up
dead. "Whst," he said, "do we learn
from this solemn EVENT." when the re-
ply from a little girl came pert and
prompt: "Please, sir, ministers should
learn not to preach too long sermons.
