Paris Omnibus Tricks.

A lively writer In one of the Paris
journals describes the playful tricks with
which the occupants of omnibuses while
away the tediousness of long drive.
One will set the Others all yawning by
means of a series of yawns on his part.
Another will secretly bring into the vehi-
| Gle small bag of vivacious snails. which
are furtively allowed to make their way
to the garments of the unsuspecting pas
sengers. The third joke is taking the silver
piece which is passed by a lady to be
handed to the conductor, and in pre-
tended fit of abstraction to carefully in
sert it into the perpetrators purse, from
which it is released after some discus
sion, with an air of incredulity that the
claim made by the owner is unfounded.
Or when passenger of anything like
suspicious aspect enters the omnibus.
one will begin by staring very hard at
him, and then, when he is not looking.
pull out notebook and pencil and take
notes of him with great assiduity. The
other passengers straightway suppose
that the note taker is a detective, and
the other individual Isl criminal of some
sort, the consequence being that he is
regarded with suspicion and repugnance
not only during the rest of the journey,
but on any other occasion when he may
happen again to be encountered.

oElST's GRAVE.
By MATTHEW ARNOLD

Four years and didst thou stay above
The ground, which hides thee now bnt four
And all that life and all that love.
were crowned. Geist into no more7
only four years those winning ways
Wnicn make me for thy presence yearn,
Card us to pet thee or to praise,
Dear little friend at every turn?
That loving heart, that patient soul,
Had they indeed no longer span.
70 run their course, and reach their goal,
And read their homily to man?
That liquid, melancholy eye,
From whose pathetic, soul-fed springs
Seem'd surging the Yirgilian cry,
The sense of tears in mortal things
That steadfast mournful strain consoled
By spirits glorio usly CAV
And temper of heroic mold
what, wac four years their whole short day
Yes, only four land not the course
or all the centuries yet to come,
And not the infinite resource
or Nature, With the countless sum
or figures, with her fullness vast
VI new creation evermore,
Can ever quite repeat the past
UT just thy little self restore
Stern law of every mortal lot
Mhich man, proud man, finds hard to bear
And builds himself know not what
OF second life know not where
But thou, when struck thine hour to 90.
On us, who stood Respondent by,
meek last glance of love didst throw
And humbly lay thee down te die
Yet would we keep thee in our heart
would NIX our tayorite on the scene.
Nor let thee utterly depart
And be as if thou ne'er badst been
And 50 there rise these lines of verse
On lips that rarely form them now;
While to each other we rehearse:
Such todyS, such arts, such looks hadst thou!
We stroke thy broad brown paws again,
we bid thee to thy vacant chair;
we greet thee by the window-pane,
We hear thy scuffie on the STAIR
We see the flaps of thy large ears
quick raised to ask which way We go;
Crossing the frozen lake, appears
Thy small black figure on the snow!
Nor to US only art thou dear
Who mourn thee in thine English home;
Thou hast thine absent masters tear,
Dropt by the far Australian foam.
Thy memory lasts both here and there,
And thou shalt live as long as We
And after that-thou dost not care
In us was all the world to thee.
Yet, fondIy jealous for thy fame,
Even to date beyond our own
We strive to carry down thy name,
By mounded turf and craven stone.
We lay thee, close within our reach,
Here, where the grass is smooth and warm,
Between the holly and the beech,
Where oft we watched thy couchant form,
Asleep, yet lending half an ear
To travellers on the Portsmouth road
There choose We thee, o guardian dear,
Mark'd with stone, thy last abode
Then some, who through this garden pass,
When we, too, like thyself, are clay,
Shall see thy grave upon the grass,
And stop before the stone and say
People Uho liUed here long ago
Did bu this stone, it seems, intend
To name for future times TO kaOtU
The ddchs-hOund, Geist, their little friend.

A Minister'S Dilemma.

Santeul, the Jesuit wit and DO ct, was
an inveterate card-player. One day he
was summoned to the pulpit while en-
gagged in game of piquet. He got up,
taking his cards with him, and conceal.
ing them under his coat. Unfortunately
as he was preaching, he extended his
arms with vehement gesture, and he
let fall his cards, which flew in all di-
rections about the church. The con-
gregation of course, appeared much
scandalized, but Santeul quietly called
a child of some ten years toward him,
and said: "What is that card which
you hold in your hand ?" "The queen
of Spades" replied the boy. "And
which is the first of the three theological
virtues ?" 81 don't know" "Ahi my
brethren, - cried Santeul, with burst OF
Indignation, "behold how you teach
your children the names of the cards, and
neglect to teach them the virtuesl'
