How Servant Got a Recommendation.

There has lately been a good deal Of
discussion upon the subject of the false
characters so frequently given of do.
after taking service on the strength Of
the most glowing references as tc
honesty, sobriety and. all the other
virtues, suddenly levant with thei1
masters silver spoons or their mis-
tresses' jewels. Apropos of this, !
heard rather a good story the other day
of butler who applied for situation
in a tirst-rate family at the West End.
The man gave-as reference his late EN-.
ployer, a certain Mr.. A., then staying
at the Grand Hotel, Charing Cross, who
was to be seen there any day between
twelve and three o'clock, and would be
pleased to testify to the trustworthiness
of his late servant. The gentlemen in need
of butler did not believe in written
testimonials, and according to his
custom, when engaging servants, went
to make his inquiries in person. Ar
irving at the Grand Hotel, he sent his
card up to Mr.. A., and was duly ushered
into the handsome suite of rooms he oc-
cupied. In few minutes Mr.. A. put in
an appearance. He was most eminent-
ly respectable-looking old gentleman,
with bald head, and flowing, silvery
beard. He received his visitor with great
urbanity, and answered all his inquiries
in very satisfactory manner. He ex-
planned that the butler had been for
many years in his service, and was a
most valuable servant from whom he was
most loath to part, but that his y(Mr
AS ill-health had compelled him to
break up his establishment and travel
about for change of air. @t
On the strength of this recommends
ton the butler was engaged, and for
nearly three months discharged his du-
ties in SO. satisfactory manner that his
new master never ceased to congratu-
late himself upon the acquisition Of such
a treasure. One day a friend, who was
a Stipendiary Magistrate, came to, din
ner, and, after looking very hard at the
butler, informed his host that Just nine
months previously he had sentenced the
man to six months Imprisonment for
theft. Next day the master called the
servant up and told him what he had
learned. The butler at once, admitted
thesoft impeachment and acknowledg ed
that he had just completed his term of
imprisonment when he took service with
his present employers, but added that he
had sincerely repented his misdeeds,
and trusted that no cause for complaint
had arisen since he had been in his new
situation. But how onG esrth, in
CURED his master, ~'did yot, manage to
get such a good character from Mr.. A.,
whom saw at the Grand Hotel who
said he had known you all your life, and
had found you perfect in every respect,
and said he could confidently recon-
mend you as a butler?"7gf" Please, sir, !"
said the repentant domestic, "A. was
myself" Under these circumstances it
is almost superfiuous to add that master
and man soon parted company.-LQl-

The Gray Head by the Hearth.


A private letter from lady who is
spending the year among the peasants
of the Tyro1, says; The morning after
our arrival we we're wakened = ~ the
sound of a violin and flutes under the
window, and, hurrying down, found the
little house adorned as for feast; gar
lands over the door and swreathing a
high chair which was set in state.
1.-The table was already covered with
gifts, brought by the young people
whose music we had heard. The whole
neighborhood were kinsfolk, and these
gifts came from uncles and cousins in
every far-off degree; they were simple,
for the donors were poor: Knitted gloves,
agshawl, baskets of flowers, jars Of fruit,
loaves of bread; but upon all some
little message of love was pinned.
"'Is there bride in the houseP'
asked of my landlord. ..-4t...: :, -,,.
'Ach, nein!' he said. sWe do not
make such bother about our young
people. 1t is the grandmother's birth
day ..,a - g VI
"The grandmother, in her spectacles,
white apron and high. velvet cap, was a
heroine all day, sitting in state to re-
ceive visits and dealing out slices from
q sweet loaf to all who came. 1 could
not but remember certain grandmothers
at home, just as much loved as she,
probably. but whose dull, sad lives were
never Frightened by any such gust Of
pleasure as this; and l thought we could
learn much from these poor noun
taineers."
We remembers certain American
house of the higher class, in which the
venerable mother of the owner had her
own boudoir filed with everything
which could recall her long checkered
lite pleasantly to her in its tranquil old
age. That room was the center of the
great naansio1; no gnest sentered tie
house without desiring to pay his re-
spects to her, although only the, most
favored were admitted. The effect upon
the young people who came to the house
of this marked genuine reverence for
age was incalculable for good. The
new generation is always apt to be in
tolerant of those WhOe are -leayiag the
stage; apt, too, to slight their expert
senee and opinions. If they do not find
their parents honoring age, where will
they learn to honor them? ~
Americans are usually laffectionste to
the aged members Of the family; but
they lack the tenderness, difference and
care which the French show to them,
and by which they bring heat and light
into their colorless lives It is not
enough to give a neglected seat in the
chimney-corner to the gray-haired moth
er or father; use such devices and inno-
cent wiles as will make them feel that
they have tnot2 lost their place among
men; that the work which they have
done is appreciated; and above ALL that
they still have work for others to do.

A Rocky Mountain Wonder.

q e
The great canyon Of Smith river,
though comparatively unknown, is
one of the most wonderful in all the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is thirty
miles IN length and is inaccessible
to horseman for a distance of
twenty miles. The path of the
stream is, in most places, narrow,
and dashes to and fro between
the perpendicular cliffs, and some
who have tried to thread their way
through, had to retrace their steps
and give it up as a bad job. In this
dark defiIe are to be found the most
stupendious preeipices in all the
land. In one of these great walls,
one hundred feet above the stream,
is an opening to what Is supposed
to be an immense subterranean
cavern. At the entrance stands the
hermit of these wilds, grey with
frost Of many winters, q man Of
stone, who has kept sentinel watch

after several other subjects had

"Why, in one of those panics.

three or four men the wink. Di
rectly there was bright flash, yells
of S'firep' and fspowdell' and every
man sprang up and rushed. Hope

over a lot of baskets piled between

his way through rack Of brooms
and when he reached the sidewalk
he was on all-fours, white as a ghost
and SO frightened that he never
looked back until he reached the
opposite side of the street.
