The Value of Broken Dishes.

Lady Pigot, distinguished connois-
seur of crockery and things, was the
possessor, among many art manufac-
lures equally beautiful and scarce, of an
old Worcester tea service, which was oc-
casionally in use, and which consisted OF
eight cups and saucers and little tea
pot. One fatal afternoon the footman,
in carrying out the tray with these
charming objects upon it, tripped over
the lap-dog or the rug or some unlucky
impeachment, and sent everything flying.
The effect of this awkward mishap was
that the entire service, excepting one
solitary cup and four saucers, was
smashed to atoms. So hopeless ap-
peared the wreck that, although it was
carefully gathered together and pre-
served, no attempt was afterwards made
to unite the fragments. There was
nothing among them so presentable
even as those "broken tea-cups, wisely
kept for show, which on the chimney
glittered in row." as chronicled by
Goldsmith in 'sThe Deserted Village. !"
Recently, at sale of her ladyship's
effects, the single cup and four sancars
realized something over 200. while the
broken pieces brought the remarkable
solatium of 80 guineas.
