AN ARISToCRATIC BANKING HOUSE.-It
is curious to know, says a magazine writer,
how Thomas Coutts first secured for his
banking house the patronage of the aristo-
cracy Not long after his establishment in
business he determined to increase his own
influence with moneved men, and, as one
means of accomplishing his object, gave
regular dinners to the leading bankers and
other financial magnates At one of these
dinners, a city man, gossiping about his
business, said nobleman had applied to
him that very day for loan of thirty
thousand pounds. which he refused to make,
because the security offered was not suffi-
cient. Coutts said nothing, but after his
guests had gone sent a message to the
nobleman, requesting the favor of his lord
ships attendance at his banking house in
the Strand the following morning. The
next day the banker was gratitied by re-
ceiving call from the peer, who was him.

for the thirty thousand pounds. AS the
notes were handed to him, he asked:
But what security am to give youP"
Il shall be satisfied" answered Coutts,
with your lordship's note-of-h hand
The astonished nobleman gave the note,
and said that at present he should require
only ten thousand pounds. and wished the
banker to open IN account with him for the
remaining thirty thousand.
Coutts consented to the arrangement
and had the satisfaction, not long after, ol
receiving, in addition to the amount Dor
rowed, deposit of 9200,000, the proceeds
of the sale of some family estates, which
the loan had enabled the nobleman to effect

A little girl in the youngest class In one
of the primary schools, who has been
much interested in the spelling and defini-
tion of words, asked her teacher to give
her the same privilege in her exercises.
The first word put out to her was man,
which she correctly spelled and supplied
with the following original and compre-
hensive definition: Man, man, some-
thing that's got wife, wears pants and
don't wear dresses After this exercise
the definition of words was suspended.

Old General Wrancel of Prussia. M

UId General Wrangel OF Prnssia, not
long since deceased, was grabbed and

one of his officers called on him one day,
wearing spurs that did not conform to the
army regulations, noticing which, Wrangel
imposed penalty of twcnty-four hours
confinement upon him. The officer, seeing
that Wrangel wore the same kind of spurs
himself, called his attention to the fact.

SATAN'S COUNCIL.

SATAN'S COUNCIL
One day the Internal king ordained
council of his peers,
To know who gave to earth the most
Ofmisery and tears.
War, pestilence, their deeds portrayed
With elOqueuce and PRIDE
And Pluto said twas hard intSed
Between them to decide.
Intemperance came tottering forth
With foul and baueful breath.
She clasped the white but ficshless hand
Of her companion death
While iendish passions, hate, and crime
Lurked in her british eyes,
She thus outspoke in tones that seemed
Like fierce delirium's cries:
Countless the loving hearts I've broke.
The bright souls have crazed.
The fair and youthful forms I've slain,
The seaffJlds have raised,
"I've caused a sea of tears and blood
To flow on earth above
A sea that bears the wrecks of home,
The lifeess forus Of love!"
Admiring Satan thus replied:
a gainst the laws divine

The yictor's palm is thine.

Thine has the mightiest SPELL
Henceforth with thee I'll share my throne

Small TreacherieS.

There is little scope in ordinary life for
larger kind of actions, the darker pas
sions, the nobler heroism the grander
sacrifices Few of us can he saints so
that the woI Id shall honor us living and
revere us dead; fewer stll-at least in cur
own country, where we have almost won
the battle of free thought along the whole
line-can be martyrs; whose suffering in
the cause of once popular truth shall
fill future generations with pity and sor-
row. with gratitude and admiration com
bned. Few of us again, happily, have
the emptation to be great criminals !;
but all of US have in our power the small
charities of daily life, the minor social
graces and the quiet domestic virtues;
and by consequence all of us are capable
of committing the minor social sins, and
those undeclared but most disastrous
domestic vices which mar the happiness
and the essential purity of home. And of
these most social sins, one of the most
fatal to the peace of honor is that habit,
so much INDUCED in we are sorry to say
mainly by women-of little treacheries
and ill.natured betrayals.
