A CHRISTMAS INCIDENT. A little boy called at one of our banks on Christmas morning, and, standing on tiptoe so that he could just look over the counter, said: "Wish you a merry Christmas" The bank official to whom il was addressed, having been, greeted thus about six dOzen times in the last half hour : paid no attention to it. But. noticing that the little fellow still stood his ground as if ex- pecting something, the bank man said: ''Well, sonny what is it 2"
 Wish you a merry Christmas, repeated the lad E@ -a ~la
 'Oh, well, I wish goa happy New Year, and that makes us about square, don't it ?" answered the bank man. 9S
 This was set-baok to the boy, who stood for full moments evidently trying to collect bis thOughts- Finally the little boys eye frightened as though happy idea had struck him. and he said: Mister, you wished me happy New Year." and, reaching over the cOuuter as far as his little arn could 20, con- unned: Heres 6 penny for you"
 He dropped the coin and ran ont of the bank as fast as his legs could carry him. dSuhtless fully satisfied that he had done the prper thing. -Hartford Tunes. .

The orter was Obeyed, the man charging quarter of dollar for his services, a marked quarter, that was good for only twenty cents, was slipped slyly into his hand and was put into his pocket by the man with smile.

GYPSY SUPRRsTITIoNs. a class of per- sons that are popularly supposed to live by working on the superstitions and credulties of their fellows, the gypsies are themselves singu- larly superstitiOus. Some gypsies set their boots crQsswise before they go to bed, fancy ing thereby to keep away the cramp; a female gypsy carried the skeleton of mole's foot
 which she called fairy foot," because she believed it good against rheumatism and it is standing truth among them that babies in teething should wear necklace made of rlyr, tie stems which. for boy, must be cut by a woman; by a man, for a girl. An adder's slough or bit of mountain-ash is certain to bring good luck, and with the same object, some of the children wear around their necks black bags containing fragments of a bat
 In order to hurt an enemy, you have only to stick pins in red cloth rag and burn the same others, for the same end resort to the cruel practice of sticking pms in a toad tilfit looks like hedgehog, and then bury it, with certain observances. The sight of a water wagtsil, if it does not fly when con jured in a certain rhyme to do SO, is a sign that strange gypsies are to be met with on the road Of an old woman, ghost seer," we are told that she carried in her pocket 8 little china dog dressed like doll .'I mind, says the gypsy who tells the story, "she lost it once, . and she was in an awful state till 1t was found, and she used to fancy It would talk to her when she was all alone smoking her pipe in the wagon. You should have seen g pack she had of very old fortune telling cards, which was painted in different colorsy She used to select the different ones for each day !; sometimes she would have those with the devil and sarpents on 'en, then other days she would carry those with birds and pala- ces."-ChGmber's Journal
