THE DUKE AND THE DUDE.

The following story is told OF an Eng
lish nobleman, recently deceased: "The
Duke was once in church when col
lection was announced for some charit-
able object. The plate began to go
round, and the Duke carefully put his
hand into his pocket and took out a
form, which he laid on the pew before
him, ready to be transferred to the
plate. Beside him sat little snob,
who noticing this action, initiated it by
ostentatiously laying a sovereign along
side the ducal fiorin. This was too
much for his Grace, who dipped his
hand into his pocket again and pulled
out another form, which he laid by the
side OF tho first. The little snob fol-
lowed suit by laying another sovereign
beside the first. His Grace quietly ad-
ded a third form, which was capped by
third sovereign on the part of the
little snob. Out came fourth florin TO
swell the Dukes donation, and then the
little snob triumphantly laid three
sovereigns at once upon the board. The
Duke, not to be beaten, produced three
florings. Just at this moment the plate
arrived. The little snob took up his
handful of sovereigns, ostentatiously
ratified them into the plate, and then
turned defiantly toward his rival as if
ne would say, Il think that takes the
shine out of you Fancy his ehagrin
when the Duke, with grim smile, put
one form into the plate and quietly
swept the remaining six back into his
pocket. ~ Family Herald.

an eddy for awhile; then waltzes at the
life; then bursts its bonds of beauty
and fills the air for a moment with a
shower of silvery tongued echoes, and
then steals back to its lair in the heart
to watch again for its prey" How
different from the kind of laugh OF
Prince Hoare, a friend of Hayden, the
painter. This gentleman was delicate,
feeble-looking man, with a timid ex
preston of face, and when he laughed
heartily he almost seemed to be crying.
1t runs in families sometimes to distort
the countenance in laughter. Mr.. La
bouchere speaks of family who laugh
a great deal, and who always shut their
eyes when they do so. 1t is funny at
the dinner table, when something witty
is said, to look around and see the
same distortion on every face. There
is not an eye left in the family. A trio
of sisters is spoken of who show half an
inch of pale pink gums when they laugh.
In their presence, like Wendell Holmes,
one "never dares to be as funny as one
can," for fear of seeing this appalling
triple OF gums. A laugh is sometimes
only a sneer. Diogenes, oftub notoriety,
saw a great deal of this kind of laughter.
Some one said to him, "Many people
laugh at you" "But l." he quickly
replied, "am not laughed down"
The reader bent on laughable infor
nation may not be aware that there is
kind of laughter peculiar to young
girls, especially suitable to the summer
months. 1t goes like this: "Te-he,
te-he! Ha, ha, ha! Gh-h-h-h--ha,
ha, ha" The directions are as fol-
lows: A low and sly beginning is made
with the te--he, as though mirth was
struggling inside TO break out through
maidenly reserve, and the mouth is
kept tight closed, while the eyes are
opened wide, thus giving an expression
of mingled occurrences and mischicvnus-
ness. Then follows the Ha, ha,. Ia,
higher and louder, with parting oi the
lips, to show the teeth, il they be white
and regular. The Oh-h-h comes I'z.
in tone OF surprise, reprOof or artlese
gaiety, according to the nature q the
thing laughed at, and the voice rlses
into pretty little scream. The ensu-
ing cause covers sudden sense o, the
improperly of making so much noise,
the eyes are cast down, and blush
can in most instances be produced by
holding the breath with the lungs very
fully inflated. The final Ha, ha, ha!
is given as crescendo, spiritedly and
without any show of restraint, like the
outbursting hilarity of an unconventional
milkmald. With little alteration this
laugh can be made to fit any mouth.
Laugh and be fat, sir, your penance is known,
They that love mirth, let them heartily drink
'Tis only the receipt to make sorrow sink

BITS OF FRENCH LIFE.

Grand thoughts come from the heart,
and sometimes from the brain; bad
thoughts come from the stomach.
Life is a voyage, whore We aspire only
to halting places when we reach them,
as they are either to warm or too cold,
we must set out again on our march.
If Partisan women are often false, in
toxicated with vanity, cOquettes and in
different, it is true that when they
really love they sacrifice more senti-
ments to their passions than other
women do; they grow great by all their
littlenesses and become sublime.
Love is not only sentiment, il is
also an art. A simple word, pres IL
ton, nothing reveals to women tho
great and sublime artist who can touch
her heart without whitening it.
1t il sufficient for a young man &c
meet woman who does not love him,
or one who loves him too much, to de-
range his whole life. Happiness ab.
serbs our forces as misfortune destroys
our virtues.
Marriage resembles a lawsuit; there
is always one side not contented, If one
deceives the other, half of the husband,
certainly enjoy the comedy at the ex
pense of the other.
A woman who laughs at her husband
no longer loves him. A man ought tc
be. for the woman who loves, Il being
full Of force and greatness, and always
imposing. A family cannot exist with
out despotism.

THE SCENES OF CHILDHOOo }

With what anguish of mind l remember my
childhood,
Recalled in the light of a knowledge since
gained;
The malarious farm, the wet, fungus grown
wild wood,
The chills then contracted that since have re-
mained;
The scum-covered duck pond the pigsty close
by it,
The ditch where the sour smelling house
drainage fell:
The damp, shaded dwelling the foul barn
yard nigh it
But worse than all else that terrible well,
And the old oaken bucket, the mould crusted
bucket,
The moss covered bucket that hung in the
well.
Just think of it! Moss on the vessel that lifted
The water | drank in the days called t.
mind
Ere knew what professors and scientists
In water of wells by analysis find;
The rotting of wood fibre, the oxide Of iron,
The algse, the frog Of unusual size;
The water-inpure as the verses Of Byron
Are things [ remember with tears in my
eyes.
And to tell the truth-though l shudder to
think it
!. considered that water uncommonly clear;
And often at noon when l went there to
drink it,
enjoyed it az much as now enjoy beer.
How ardent seized it, with hands that were
grimy
And quick to the mud-covered bottom it fell,
And soon with its nitrates and nitrites; and
Shiny
With matter organic, it rose from the we'll.
Oh! had l but reckoned, in time to avoid them,
The dangers that lurked in that pestilent
draught,
I'd have tested for organic germs and destroyed
them
With potass permanganate ere had quaffed;
Or, perchance, / have boiled it and afterward
strained it,
Through filters of charcoal and gravel COM
bined,
Or, after distilling, condensed and regained it
In potable form, with its filth left behind,
How little knew of the dread typhoid fever
Which lurked in the water / ventured to
drink
But since I've become a devoted believer
In teachings of science, shudder to think;
And now, far removed from the scenes I'm de-
scribing,
The story for warning to others tell,
As memory reverts to youthful imbibing,
And I'm sick at the thought of that horrible
well,
And the old oaken bucket that fungus-grown
bucket.
La fact, the slop bucket that hung in the
WELL

OUR FRIENDS.

Where are the friends Of our former years,
The friends Of long agog
The dear ones who shared our joys and fears,
Our veal, also our woe
The chosen ones whose youths hours fraught
With joys so quickly past!
SO happy they, that we ne'er thought
SO soon would come-the last
The heart oft yearns for those cherished ones
And prayer, with mem'ry blends
For holiest thoughts Of long by-gones
Are those dear, loved friends.
How soothing the halo that memory weaves
How soft its gentle fold;
How sweet to muse though the fond heart
grieses,
Fa the dear, dear friends of old

season, wonnd up the interview by say
ing: "Well, now isn't that enough

something funny. Do you know, l was
accused by my friends at home of speak

all the critics blame me for my English

A STREET FULL OF MILLIoNAIRs.-No
street in the world, perhaps, possesses
more value to the square foot than Fifth
avenue, New York, the abode OF 80
many millionaires. The figures a. taken
from the tax-books Of the current year
show that the city derives revenue Of
over 81 ,OOO, 900 year from this one
avenue, between Eighth and Eighty
second street. The total amount Of the
figures printed is $49, ,449, 900, it being
forty per cent, less than the actual value
of the property. Taxable property is
supposed to be assessed at sixty per
cent. of its real value, at which rate the
estimation of the tax department officials
place the actual value Of the property
on Fifth avenue, not including that
which is exempt from taxation, at $780,
22S, 900. These figures, however, only
take in the property from Washington
Square to the end Of Central Park; and
in many instances the records of por-
tions of assessable property could not
be found on the tax-books by the re-
porters.-[N. Y. World.

JAMES WINTHR0P's DILEMMA.
BY GEORGIA.

"What must / say to you, Mary?

persuasive power. You are as hard as
stone. 1t seems useless for me TO urge
anything more now, but promise to con.
slider what have said, Mary"

came vehemently from the young girl
"and your insinuations are fast becom
ing impertinences. You seem to have
entirely overlooked the fact that you
are not"
"That | am not-?"
81 shall not listen to you any longer
continued she. "Your mind has entire
ly too great habit of falsifying truth. "
al see that there is no use in talking
to you about this now. Allow me to
hope that when We next meet"
~ wonder you don't stay away alto
gether. Why do you come here?"
"My dear child, you are unreason-
able"
"You mean that you are"
"Mary, beg you not to be angry

He would have fingered to apologize
further, but her attitude seemed to warn
him of still continued opposition. He
may have looked back when half an
acre separated them; if no, he only saw
a little brown-haired girl stand for u few
moments in silent solilOquy, then re-
trace her steps homeward.
They were acquaintances of child
hoods making, these two, and friend
ship had been a close attendant upon
acquaintance ever since then. That its
chain was broken occasionally We natur-
ally surmise, but it never remained 30
long. Now, however, there was great
danger of longer and more enduring
breakage.

"Well, Mary?"
"How are you to-day?"
Gas she extended her hand and smiled
q little, she seemed to have no remem-
brance of their last interview. He
thanked her quietly for her kind inquiry,
then moved to window. The habit OF
visiting the Halstead farm had been go
strong upon him that he came to-day
almost involunta rily. Not that his will,
If consulted, would have made him de-
sist. He simply had not reasoned as to
whether it would be best for him or not.
Mary's star jessamine under the win
dow seemed to be attracting his atten-
ton as thoughts of what he termed
Mary's unfriendly behavior toward him
passed through his mind. He realized
vaguely that he had expected her to be
contrite to-day-that he had even ex'
pected pledge from her as to her fu.
ture department. Kind friends had
never limited to this man that he had
great deal Of self-will. They had left
it's discovery to his own perceptions, and
he had been too lenient of self. This ID
not an extraordinary trait.
