which would explain all, and then vanished

carried the basket In the room and gently
placed 1t on the table, unpinned tho note, and,
with each particular hair on end and cold
moisture coming from every pore, read
"Kind sir, take me in; care for me; am of re-
spectable parentage; name mo William Henry.

EATING HURRIED DINNERS.

1t is mistake to eat quickly. says the
Lancet. Mastication performed in haste
must be imperfect even with the best OF
teeth, and due admixture of the salivary
secretions with the food cannot take
place. When crude mass of inadequate
ly crushed muscular fibre, OF undivided
solid material of any description, is put
into the stomach, it acts as mechanical
irritant and sets up a condition in the
mucous membrane lining Of that organ
which greatly impedes. if not altogether
prevents, the process of digestion. When
the practice of eating quickly and filing
the stomach with unPrepared food is
habitual, the organ is rendered incaps-
ble of performing its proper functions.
Either q much larger quantity Of food
than would be necessary under natural
conditions is required. or the system snf-
fers for lack of nourishmsnt. Those
ANIMALS which are intended to eat hur-
riedly were either gifted with the power
of rHmination or provided with Rizzards
Man is not so furnished, and il is fair tc
assume that be was intended to eat slow
ly. The matter may seem a small one
but it is not so. Just as the man may e
on for years with defective teeth. Rnt
wondering why he suffers from indig.s
tion. so a man may habitually live unde
on afiiction Of hurried dinners, and en-
dure the consequent loss of health, with
ont knowing why he is not we'll, or hov
easily the cause of his illness might b
remedied.

THE LUCKY Escape p


On the night OF October l4th, 1861, o
tall swartby young man, with compan-
ion, slipped into the George Inn, Brigh-
ton, (Eng) and said he would wait to
meet q seafearing acquaintance. IL ear
lier days the host bad been employed in
one of the Lcndon palaces, and he rteog-
nized in his seedy visitor Prince Charles,
son of the monarch who, more than two
years before, had been bebended at White
hall. After the battle of Worcester the
youdg king had experienced many ad-
ventures and worn many disguises--there
was price upon his head; but the inn
keeper, either from loyalty or discretion,
did not cffer to modest the fugitive or his
companion. The captain of a collier,
Nicholas Tettersell, then appear, d, and
took Charles and his companion, who was
the Earl of Rochester, on board of his
vessel and landed them in France, for
which service many things were promised.
The Restoration came, but none Of gifts,
and Tettersell therefore sailed into the
Thames and moored off Whitehall, where
his dingy bark attracted the attention of
the king, who, being thus reminded, gave
the captain ring, perpetual annuity
of 100 pounds year, and took the col
lier into the navy under the name of the
"Lucky Escape"
