An Affecting Lie.

An early settler Of Chicago relates
an incidet in which lie was an actor /:
"As L sat there in tho long ago, and.
shrouded IN the September haze,
was dreaming Of a fortunate future
/ for myself I heard the treading Of
innumera5le feet drawing nearer
and nearer to me. The sound was
ike the football Of q regiment Of in
fantry approaching, and I arose to
( see what was the cause. / had not
long to wait, for very soon there
hove in SIGHT q singular spectacle.
First came a large Illinois hog, at
the head Of long column Of Hi
lois hogs, all marching Indian fash
ion. and grunting with that gentle
placid grunt which the hog carries
with him. On closer examination
into the singular phenOmina, / saw
that all the hogs, except the leader
were bliud, each animal having It's
predecessors tail in its mouth
throughout the long line, consisting
Of 1881 unfortunate, sightless pigs,
cheerlully following their leader to
the water. l was never so struck
with the wonderful instinct Of the
brute creation in my life, and my
eyes filed with tears when [ saw
the child like faith and confidence
Of each blind animal following with
implicit trust the more fortunate

soon. however, q great dazzling
three-cornered idea worked is way
into my intellect. Dashing away
my idle tears, [ drew my revolver
and shot OF the leaders tail. leaving
the long line Of deconcerted and
aimIess hogs in the middle of the
broad prairie, with no guide but the
dephlOgisticdted tail Of & hog which
was three-quarters Of q mile saway
Then 1 stole up, and, taking the
CORY tail in my hand, / led the

Pins, Past and Present.

To the young lady whose iulri-
cate overskirt is held in innumera-
bic folds By many pins il may seem
4 hardship that her yearly allow
ance ofpins IS only about 40. Such,
however, is the case with each indi-
yidual in the United States on an
equitable division of the pins yearly
sold in this country. But the In
dians in the west are not supposed
to use their full allowance, and col
lar buttons have so far done away
with the use Of pins By gentlemen
generally that the young lady may
perhaps provide herself with some
body else's allowance. The pins
made in the United states are made
by 10 factories, somewhat scattered
rs to locality, but mostly in New
England. Their annual production
for some years has beenabout7 ,0O0,-
100000 pins. This number has not
varied much for many years, the
demand remaining about the same.
4 few of these seven billion are
swallowed by children, number
are bent up in schools and placed
on vacant and inviting chairs and
some millions get into cracks Of
floors, and the rest for the most part
are scattered along the highways,
whore they have been dropped from
dresses and LETT 10 work their way
into the earth.
Two years ago the competition
among the nine principal compan-
les then existing for the manufac-
ture Of toilet pins led to such a cut
ting ofprices that the business be
came improbable, and The market
was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and
families even bought in wholesale
quantities for future use. 4 year
ago combination was formed Of
three wire companies, and now all
the pins made by them are shipped
to New York and handled ~ the
head agency in that city. From
their common warehouse they are
shipped to all parts of the country
in quantities varying according to
the female population.
The importations of Eagiish pins
are small, and the expectation Of
pins from the UnitedStates are con
fined TO Cuba, South America and
parts Of Canada, where, however,

A Good Decd.

There is nothing so noble and
touching as 4 really spontaneous act
of generosity, after all. The other
day q rough, careless looking stran-
ger was walking up Mission street
near Sixth, when he observed LOT
of hoodlums clustering around the
gate of small frame house, in front
Of which was a poor woman weep
ing bitterly, surrounded by her ter
rified children. A scanty array OF
household goods on the pavement
showed that it was a case of eject
ment.
"What are you abusing that wo-
Iman for?" demanded the ''man from
below" addressing an ill-fayored in
dividual who was carrying ont The
furniture.
Il amt abusing her. growled the
landlord she can't pay her rent,
and I'm going to bounce the whole
outfit, that's all"
"I've a good mind to bounce you,
said the stranger, Indignantly
what is the amount she owes you ?'
Twenty-Five dollars y
Here, take it out OF that" and
the angry man took out his wallet
and handed over a S100 greenback.
The ejec.or respectfully turned
over a receipt and the change.
Forcing an additional sV' on the
happy woman, the stranger walked
rapidly away.
Centric cuss, that said the
houseowner, looking after the phil
anthropist, musingly.
But the philanthropist said noth-
ing until he turned the corner, and
then murmured softly to himself, as
he put on a little more pedestrian
steam.
Its no use talking-virtue is its
own reward. / couldn't have GOT
ten another such q chance to work

Try to Please.

The late George Merriam, pub
lisherof Webster's Dictionary, whose
early life though spent in poverty,
gave token by its diligence, purity
and kindness to his mother, Of
what true. noble man he would
become, said when he was an old
man; II trace my success in life to
a desire to please. To try to please
was my great aim first, my father,
and then, fer his sake, my employer.
/ lived with my mother, and took
four or five apprentices to board
with her, and if at the end Of the
year, she came out short 1 evened
it up" The one who tries to please
makes many friends, and therefore
has wide influence. One need never
sacrifice principle, but one can al
ways be kind. "What is the secret
of the success Of Miss ?''-one
-of the bellies in Washington last
winter-we asked friend. "She
does not appear remarkably intel
lectual, land She is not very beauti-
full" "No," said the person address
ed, "but she tries to please people"
And this was the secret Of her being
loved.

information for Tenants.

The courts at one time were dis
posed to consdue the law as between
tenants and owners in faver OF the
latter, bit recently their decisions
have been much more liberal to the
tenant. Once It was understood
that whatever Improvement was adj
ded to a property by q tenant could
not be removed. There has been q
decided modification of decision on
this subject Of late. As q general
rule, whatever a tenant puts into a
dwelling for his own comfort, with
out the intention to permanently
annex it, he may remove at any
time at the expiration of his lease.
This would include such things rs
eupboars, shelves. &c. Ali trade
fixtures and temporary structures
whether frame or brick, may be
taken down and carried oa by the
tenant who erected them. Even 4
dwelling house is not a part Of the
realty if the right to move it is re-
served. All the landlord can legit-
imateiy demand is tohave his prop
erty restored to his possession in as
good condition rs it was received
by tho tenant. Whatever q tenant
puts in of movable nature he may
take away. All decisions concur
that theseremoyals improvements
and fixtures must be made within
the term Of the lease, if the tenant
waits until his lease has expired the
land ana all that is on it, except the
purely personal property Of the ten
ant, reverts to the landlord.

The tide was rapid. Already thr

die of the current. There wert

pended every resource Of body anC
heart in that struggle for life ans
love. She hoatod on-on-beforc
him in the flowing water until the
great beads of agony and pair
stood upon his forehead. But one
fortunate stroke, and he caught her
scarf.
He struggled back TO land and
fell exhausted upon the bank. For
a moment he lay there, painting
then rising, he lifted Bertrode into
the carriage, and carried home the
life he had saved.E
Evening came. Fenncl was at
home-pacing thoug ghtfully the hooI
of his little chamber. It was twi-
light, and the scent Of the ripe APP
pies in the orchard filled the room.
He did not notice either, but he was
aroused suddenly by a knock at his
door. 1t was little Willie Dodge
with a note. lie opened it. It bore
these words
"Fennel come home with Willie.
/ want to see YOU"
That was all, but he knew who
sent it. He went out OF doors with
the child. Holding the boys hand,
he walked the fields he had walked
a month before, with his heart as
bitter as rue. The crickets were
singing among the grasses. 4
strange lightness possessed him, and
yet he kept putting down his heart
not daring to hope. The farm
house door was omen and ReTtrode
was sitting in the porch. Little VIII
lie went into the house. Fcnnel sat
down on the step.
"Whet do you want, Bertrode p
Il viii tell you By and by"
The twilight grew more dim as
they talked OF unimportant things,
until they could not see each others
faces. The crickets were singing
hundreds of songs in the grasses by
The roadside. The dew fell and
woke the sweetness Of the roadside
ferns.
A long time passed, and at last
Fennel arose.
at is time to go, Bertrode. VIII

The moon came up and showed
her face pale and herlips tremulous,
but she stood up by his side and
spoke firmly.
II want to ask y3a net 10 conway,

There seemed to be more to be
said, bat she could not say it. Her
voice died on her lips, and the
eager light in Fennel Gould's eyes
faded.
II cannot stay, Bertrode /; don't
be troubled to pity me. Goodbye,

He stopped to kiss her head. Her
arms were around his neck.
"My love, my love-" cried she,
