There's music in lady's foot.
And well the ladies know 1t;
And she who has a pretty one
Is pretty sure to show 1t;
At times you, too, are martyred by
The incest little ankle,
That shoots an arrow through the eye,
Within the heart to rankle.
But when it trips along the street,
Thro' wind, and mud, and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper:
And as she steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to mingle,
Two roguish eyes look up and say,
81 wonder If he's single ?"

DIR. Alexander Graham Bell denies
the assertion that deaf-mutes, have the
accent of their native district. Some
childreh do aIticulate after peculiar dia-
lects, but on investigation it always
turns out thai they could talk before ,hey
became deaf, aud this cannot correctly
be ascribed to heredity. He says, also,
that by proper instruction any harsh
and disagreeable character of the utter

that $50 successful has articulation

SCRIPTURE PRACTICALLY APPLIED.
May years ago. when moving was
done with scythe, Farmer A. and his
hired man were moving together in a
field. The hired man was ahead when
he discovered that he was in close prox-
unity tu large nest of hornets. He ad
vanced as far as he thought was prudent
and jumped from his swath and ran
away. Farmer A., imagining that the
hired man was frightened at nothing,
stepped into his swath wieh this scrip
tural quotation The Wicked flee
when no man pursueth, butlthe right
eous are bold As Hon." and moved
ahead. Two or threaI strokes brought
him in contact with nGst, and the
hornets swarmed opt - vely rate,
giving him a, sharp reception. The
farmer ran, when it was the hired man g
turn to quote Scripture, which he did
by the following: 1.-THE wise man fore
seeth the evil and turneth aside, but the
fool passeth on and is punished"

The Sort OF MAN JOSH BILLINGS
Is.-The famed writer of the Yanke zee
proverbs is now about go years, and
shows it. His hair, which is as long
and unkempt as ever, is iron gray, and
his stiff, dropping moustacbe is fast
changing to the color of old age AS he
grows older he seems to become more
and more supremely regardless of per-
sons, surroundings or opinions. AS he
greets one with machine like chow
dy-ye-do" or an inanimate ''good day"
the impression is conveyed that he has
arrived at that state of life and prospect
ty where he deems fate pOweriess to
work any alteration for worse. Billings
is essentially man to himself. taciturn
and unobtrusive everywhere He is not
SO popular as formerly. his only work
now being that which appears in the
NeD York Weekly. For this service he
receives, perhaps, So. 900 year. His roy
atty from the circulation of the "Prov-
erbs," his Almanac" and other works,
swelis his yearly income to about SIS 900
From the proceeds of his labor he has
amassed a fortune of over. $50, 900.
