That Pie.

"I will thank you for that pie" said fellow boarder. 'tI was thinking who was King of England when this old pie was baked, and 1t made me feel bad to know how long he has been dead"
 Our landlady is a decent body, poor, and 8 widow, of course; cela Va sana dire. She told me her story once there was the wooing and the wedding, the start in life, the disappointment, the children she had buried, the dismantling of life first of its luxuries, then of its comforts, the altered character of one on whom she had leaned, and at last the death that drew the black curtain be- tween her and all earthly hopes.
 never laughed at my landladv, but l often cried, not those pattering tears that run of the leaves, but those which steal noiselessly through their conduits until they reach the cisterns lying round the heart, such shed for her when the imps of the boarding-house inferno tugged at her soul with their red-hot pincers.
 "Young man," said, "the pastry you speak lightly of is not old, but courtesy to those who labor to serve us, especially if they are of the weaker sex, is very old, yet worth retaining"

Packing a Trunk.

Most people dislike to pack trunk, and to do 1t well is something of an art. It should never be done in a hurry. You should first get everything together which is to be packed, and then go quiet ly and systematically to work. Very large trunks are an abomination over which expCessmen groan and swear, not altogether without reason. Still, small ones are inconvenieut, except for short journeys, and multiply expense, as the expressage Is for each piece, be 1t Sara-- toga trunk or q small valise, without re- gard to size. But, whatever the size of the trunk, it should be filled, or at least packed full enough to prevent the coli- tents from tossing about. If you are compelled to take Q trunk which Is too large for what you need to pack in 1t, ill it with crumpled paper, rather than leave 1t half empty. Owing to the rough usage which baggage always receives, unless the trunk is closely packed the contents will be literally churned up and down, and the clothes which you have carefully folded will be tumbled to a de- gree, even if nothing worse comes to them. For long journey it is well to sord trunks. Rope is better than strap. because it goes both ways. Nothing heavy, like boots, etc, should ever be put in the top of trunk, since the more heavily it Is weighted the more likely the hinges are to break. Dresses should be carefully folded, with the tiounces | laid smooth and drawing strings let out, ,he waist folded but once, the wrong side out, with the sleeves laid over the
 )ack and the fronts over all. Then, ii
 absolutely necessary, the basque may 0e folded again down the middle seam of the back, but never across.

Browbeating Witnesses.

The law is charitable. It presumes that all men will do their duty, and 1t holds every man innocent of an alleged crime until he has been proved guilty. Lawyers, on the contrary, are inclined to be uncharitable, especially toward witnesses who testify against their cli- ents.
 Though they have sworn ito tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, the opposing counsel usually takes it for granted that they will go as near committing perjury as their fears will permit.
 Doubtless, there is much to be said in justification of the lawyers coTrse They see much of the prevarication of witnesses, and many attempts to con- ceal one fact, or to exaggerate another. It is not strange, therefore. that they should doubt the truthfulness of any witness, when interested in a cause and majority of witnesses are partissns.
 Their skepticism is often made offen- sively prominent in a cross-exaninatien. The lawyers manner says, '' You baNa sworn to a lie and know 1t, and the jury shall know 1t, tco, before I'm done with you"
 Then he puts series of questions for the purpose of disconcerting the wit ness, so that he may contradict himself and thus spoil his evidence. If the questions fail to effect the purpose, then they are reinforced by browbeating.
 Daniel Webster once tried this metlrd upon a clergyman's wife, Mrs. Green ough, of Newton, Mass, 6 ssclf-possessod and ajestic-looking woman.
 The question before the court was that | of a Mrs. Badgers soundness of mind, she having made will during her last sickness. Mir. Webster, who had been retained by those who were trying to break the will, saw that tho testimony of Mrs. Greenough, she being witness for the opposite side, would have great weight with the jury. He reasoned, therefore, to spoil her evidence if ho could.
 He began his cross-examination by putting 8 certain question, which Mrs. Greenough commenced to answer by saying, "I believe
 "We don't want to know what you be- heve, madam" roared Webster; "we want to hear what you know
 That was what I was about to say. :" replied Mrs. Greenough, going right on with clear answer to the cue ,tion A gain and again, Mir. Webster, seeii E the effect of her evidence upon coui and jury, tried to embarass her.
 At length, irritated by his failure 70 ruffle the self-possessed witness. he sprang to his feet, drew out his snuf-box. took pinch, and, holding large bar dana handkerchief to his nose, blew n sonCrous blast.

 "She took snuff.

Grandfather's Kitchen.

The following description of the room in which our great-grandfathers lived may recall to some old man the scenes ot his boyhood:
 Grandfather's kitchen was a somber room, ceiled and painted brown; with huge beams, high dressers and yawring fireplace. It had only two small win dows, and was entered by nine doors.
 It was, in reality, the great hall of the house. What is lacked by day was light and sunshine. At night, bright ened by roaring backlog, it WAS full of cheer. Then its beams and ceilings and ample furnishings were enriched by shadows, and the pewter dishes upon It's brown dressers shone in the dancing freight like silver.
 The two shelves full of leather-cov- cred books; the weather-wise almanac hanging from peg; the cross-legged crane with its. hissing teakettle; the brush the bellows the settle in the corner, and whatever else was there, all became fre-changed, and were mellowed into the bright scene.
 This room was by night the best part of the house. It was always the | true heart of 1t the vital center from which diverged its indwelling life. It was the place where people iounged and fingered.
 Because it's small windows let in few sunbeams, those which did come in were all the more precious. Because 1t WAS | full of homely things, and was, as the women said, "most convenient" it had inwrought into it, as picture, a quaint beauty of adaptation. Mellow, brown old kitchen-how many costly rooms simulate, in their furnishing, your mex pensive colors ?-NelO EngIond By- 1 zones.

Altogether Too Sudden.

The young man had expended as much for theater and concert tickets as he thought his purse would warrant, and, as the excursion and seaside season was just coming on, he made up his mind toto. Well, this is what he said "Pve been thinking that you are very dear to me, Louise and I've been thinking thst-that, Louise, I-that is, I think lots of you, and and-what do you think ?"
 "Oh, George, this is too sudden. How is your bank account?"
 "Well, this is little sudden, too. I had hoped you would consider your bank account large enough for both."
 The parting kiss that night sounded like the breaking of a pipe-stem, and it will never be epeated.-Nea0 HaUe,a Register.

During the past six months 90 per-
sons, aged 80 and upward, died in Phil
adelphia. Of these II were men and 70
were women. Five of the women were
centenarians, and one man, the oldest
of the lot, was James McTague, who
had reached the age of 100. There
were also 17S men and 81 women who
were 80 or beyond it when death called
them away. These statistics prove that
women are the longest lived. -PhiiGdeL-

The coal-felds of Alabama cover

bituminuous, but differs widely in quail
ity. The best coal in the State, and in
fact in the United States, being fully
equal to English camel coal, is the
Montevallo coal. No industry in the
State has had so rapid growth as the
coal industry. In 1872 only 10, 900 tons
were mined in the State; in 1879 the
annual output had been swelled to 290,-
600 tons; in 1880 to $40, 900 tons, and
in 1881 to 400, 900 tons. - Chicago Times.

wife in after years. But the big boy
who is lover of his mother at middle

so beautifully chivalrous as the love of a
big boy for his mother. Boys. think Of

THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

Death sen. his messengers before;
4. ONr Master comes apace.' they cried,
Ere night he will be at thy door,
TO claim thy darling from thy side"
ldrove them forth with curses fell;
drove them forth with jeer aud SCOTT
Not all the powers of Heaven or Hell,
ComeEled, should bear my darling of.
Harmed me madly for the fight:
My gates bolted, barred and locked;
At sunset came a sable knight,
Dismounted at my doors and knocked.
answered not he knocked again;
braved him sole, braved his band:
He Knocked once more; in vain, in vain;
My barriers orumbled meath his hand.
Irushed into the breach; 1 stood,
Dazed with the flood of ebbing light;
A victory over senseless wood
Adds scanty glory to thy might
stronger champion guards these walls
A human love, living heart;
AND while each earthly bulwark falls,
Itsteys thee, awful as thou artl'
My s'lber shivered on his mall
ny lance dropped headess mt his feet;
ss~ my darling cheek grow pale,
saw her turn my foe to meet.
he passed-my lips alone could move;
Mad words of passion forth hurled;
They lied vino sa that God was love,
II VINO lets tyiant rule the world"
He gathered her to his embrace,
While yet raved in my despair;
he raised his vizor from his face,
looked, and saw an angel there.
Such conquering love, such mercy rare,
Such Heavenly pity in his eyes,
AS surely Love Divine might wear,
When He assumed our mortal guise.
He bent above her dear dumb lips
Mine own, whom had loved too we'll
And struggling from lIfes last eclipse,
They smiled in peace ineffable.
Awestruck watched, he raised his head,
And then, in tones like summers breath,
" Am thing so vile," he said,
L, whom we men call shuddering deathY
And sword and large aside l flung,
Forgotten wrath, and loss, and pride;
To his departing feet chung,
And me, too, take me, too" cried;
-" Without her, ali is blank and black,
With her, and thee SO fair-me, too"
The solemn voice came ringing back;
Not yet, for thee is work to do"
The sunset sank from rose to gray,
His accents died away with it,
And from my SOUL as from the day,
The glow and glory seem to fit;
And mid my stronghold's shattered strength
| kuelt alone, yet not alone,
Death angel left me hope at length
Through tasks fulfilled to reach min,
own.
