A Clever Ruse.

A story is told of great French satirist
which finely illustrates his knowledge Of
human nature. He was travelling in Ger
many, in entire ignorance of its language
and currency. Having obtained some
small change for some of his French
coins, he used, to pay drivers in the follow
ing manner: Taking handful of Joins
from his pockets, he counted them one
by one into the creditors hands, keeping
his eye fixed on the receivers face. As
soon as he perceived the least twinkle OF
smile he took back the last coin de-
posted in the hand and returned it to his
pocket. He afterward found that in pur-
suing this method he had not oyerpaid
for anything.

A China Boy,

An old lady came from the East to
visit me, and, my health not being good,
volunteered to take all home cares off
my hands. Then came the tug of war.
First, grandma" as we called her,
came to complain that the China boy
would not obey her. When I sent for
All Choon and asked what he meant by
such conduct, he said: Z" You buy this
house ?" Eyes" I said. "Old lady no
buy him % ono" Then old lady no
bossee. You bossee woman. Old lady
too muchee sass" I explained the situa-
ton as well as could in pigeon-Eng-
lish, and, remembering the respect paid
to their parents and elders by the Chi
nese, [ reminded him of that, and asked
him how he would like to have Mel
lean" boy treat his mother as he treated
grandma. He listened to all I had to
say, seeming impressed by it, repeating
many times, "Elka klukla me. Me no
sass old lady" Shortly after he ran
over to his cousin to borrow a phrase
book, in which found that "elkla klu-
kla me" meant " excuse me"
In little while grandma came back
again, crying: 81 do believe that China
boy is swearing at me in Chinese now"
Again All Choon stood before me, his
shining eyes dimmed with tears. "Ah
Choon," said I, reproachfully, "you
said you would be good to the old lady,
and now she says you talk badly in Chi
nese toher."
All Choon's dark face flushed, and the
tears poured down his cheeks. "No can
do no can dop' he cried. 81 no sass

When the summer was over Mrs. Mills
counted up her gains gleefully.
"We've made a success of it, my
DEAR" said she to Essie. "And I'm
quite willing to divide the profits with

urged the farmers wife.
"No-that is, yes" confessed Essie.
"To tell you the truth I am going to be

"Well, declared" cried Mrs. Mills, a
sudden blaze of light breaking in upon
her brain. "Not to old Mr. Miggs?"
"Of course not"

"And Miss Earle has been laying

came into the house." added Mrs.
Mills.

said Essie. 81 only know that he loves

And so our courageous little heroine
passed out of the world of trials and

And Miss Earle thought it was very
strange-she believed that society was
all upside down nowadays.

EssIE's FORTUNE.

q It's The same old pain in my side
again." sid Essie Hooper, sadly.
She was sitting at the window where
she always sat and sewed-a little,
cooped-up spot, with view of tin roofs,
factory chimneys and the neighbors'
back yards. Just above stack of brick
fiues one could catch a solitary glimpse
of silver clouds floating across the
ethereal blue-and this was ESTES sole
dream of rest and gladness.
A pale, violet-eyed girl, with red
brown hair gathered into net, and
fitful shadows of color upon her cheek,
she seemed scarcely more than a child
in years. Life, however, begins early
with the poor-and Essie Hooper had
been earning her own living ever since
she was twelve years old.
GO You have been sitting too steadily,
child" said Lucy DEAL, her neighbor.
Here Jump up, and run around to
the trimming store for half a dozen
cards of buttons to match this sample
Mrs. Peck told me to get them, but /
guess you need the exercise more than
I do"
Before Essie could get on her hat,
however, the door opened, and Mrs.
Peck herself came in, with troubled
and preoccupied look.
"Young women" said she, in her
hard, business-like way of speaking,
"I desire your attention for few min
utes"
"She's going to cut down our wages
ten per cent" whispered Hadie Hall.
"She's going to clap on an extra hour
to the days work." murmured Jane
Simpson, apprehensively.
81 regret to say" spoke up Mrs.
Peck, "that business is decreasing, and
times are dull, and find it necessary to
dispense with one of my hands. Miss
Hooper, as the youngest, is the one upon
whose dismissal I have decided
Essie had turned very pale.
"Must I go?" she faltered.
81 am very sorry for it, my dear, .
said Mrs Peck, who was, upon the
whole, not bad-hearted woman; "but
cannot possibly afford to keep on SO
many girls, and one must go, you see.
And it's always the custom to send away
the one who has been with you the
shortest period OF time
She counted out the slender sum of
money which was due to the girl, and
stood calmly by, while Essie tied on her
hat, took down her shawl and mechani-
cally babe the other girls adieu.
It was an everyday affair with her,
this dismissal of a superfuous hand, and
she never stopped to think what might
possibly become of the poor forlorn
Young creature who was thus set adrift on
the world.
She had never troubled herself to ask
any questions of her youngest apprentice
or she might have learned that Esther
Hooper was quite alone and friendless in
the world, except for an old aunt down IN
the country.
"Of course must go to Aunt Jocasta,
said Essie to herself. !" have just money
enough to take me to Butternut Vale and
Aunt Jocasta can at least advise me, II
she can do nothing else"
But when she reached the old red
farmhouse on the edge of the pine
thickets, it had been modernized by the
addition OF o fine new veranda and rus.
tic fences of twisted cedar wood, and IN
stead of Aunt Jocasta and her hitting
work at the window, she saw the dim
