Oh yes, the manager Of the opera
troupe was much annoyed because
his prima donna had way Of get
ting a cold and refusing to sing every
few nights. So he got little girl
with pretty fair voice to learn the
same parts and sing when the prima
donna had cold. Then he went to
the critics, who are always ready to
assist in any laudable enterprise, and
explaining matters to them, asked
them, when the prima donna refus-
ed to sing, to praise the substitutes
singing as the finest ever heard.
And the Prima donna got we'll
enough to sing the next night, and
hasn't had a cold since, and hates
the little substitute like poison.

Accidental Marriages.
One of Lord Byron's Letters.

One of Lord Byron's Letters.
A man should marry,by all means;
yet | am convinced the greater part
of marriages are unhappy, and this
is not an opinion | give as coming
from myself; it Is that of a very ex-
cellent, agreeable and sensible lady,
who married the man of her choice,
and has not encountered ostensibly
any extraordinary misfortune, as
loss of health, riches, children, etc.
She told me this unreservedly, and
| never had reason to doubt her sim
cerity. For all this, | am convinc-
ed that man cannot be truly hap
py without wife. 1t is strange
state of things we live in. A ten
dency so natural as that Of the union
of the sexes ought to lead only to
the most harmonious results; yet
the reverse is the fact. There is
certainly something radically wrong
in the constitution Of society; the
times are out Of joint. 1t is strange
too, what little real liberty of choice
is exercised by those even who mar
ny according to what is thought
their own inclinations. The decep-
tionS which the two sexes practice
upon each other brings as many ill
sorted couples into the bonds Of hy-
men as ever could be done by the
arbitrary pairings of a legal match
maker. Many a man thinks he mar
ries by choice who only marries by
accident: in this respect men have
less the advantage Of woman than is
generally supposed.

He Could Synpathixe With
Him.

Theophilus Wiggleton could crawl
out through smaller hole than any
other man in town mean 10y that,
that he could shirk responsibility ;
an especially creepaway from paying
his honest debts. In this latter re-
spect he was both slippery and braz-
en-. Here is case directly to the
point.
Homer Harvey was known as one
Of the best natured and most accom-
modatiDg tailors. He had entered
the name of Theophilus Wiggleton
in his books believing him to be
what he would appear to be, worth
money and under that impression
he had made for him two suits of
clothes of the finest cloth after that
he had furnished him with third
suit, for fear of losing what was al
ready due should he irritate the man
by refusing him. Aud now Harvey
wanted his money. He wanted it
very much. The bill amounted to
little more than 500, and the debtor
had many times promised that in
very few days the money should be
forthcoming.
One bright summers day the tail
or met this delinquent customer and
caught him by the sleeve.
"Wiggleton, my dear man, can
you let me have the amount of my
bill against you this morning 2'
"Ol-ho! hol it's you. my dear
old fellow How are you ?" And
he gave him hand-grasp that was
warm and hearty. "Say, Harvey,
are you pressed Do you owe any
body that ought to be paid at once ?"
From the look of Wiggleton's eye,
as he gave a sidelong glance from it,
the tailor believed, if he should own
to being in debt to others, that the
fellow would retort that it was very
unprincipled of him to press him for
money. So he answered in the neg
alive.
"No," he said, 81 don't owe and
l don't mean to if l can help it,"
"Aha good, good !" cried Theo-
philus gladly. "If you are owing
nobody, of course you cannot need
money. At all events, you don't
need it one half 50 much as / do;
for l am in debt. But don't worry,
Harvey. 1t shall come some time"
The tailor turned away in disgust,
and in partial despair.
The next time he asked the man
for money he wouldn't give him any
such hole through which to crawl |
away.
The next time came. Harvey met |
his man at the hotel bar.
"Ah, Wiggleton You are just
the man have been wishing to see. |
Can you make it convenient to pay
that little bill to-day ?"
"My dear Harvey, are you really |
in need ?"
81 lam; desperately so I"
Mercy You don't owe anybody
else money, do you 70
~ do; / owe a large sum ~
"Aha Good, good !" grasping
the tailor's hand. NOW, my dear
fellow, you can sympathize with me.
We're both in the same box. But
don't let us fret. Well keep our
shoulder to the wheel-keep our
courage up, my boy, and we'll come
out all right. Never fear. Have a
