Unpleasant on Both Sides.

From tho Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.l
As the audience was coming out of one
of our theaters on rainy night of last
week, an accident occurred which caused
at least one person an agony almost as
great as that of passing through the val
ley OF shadows. This was q lady Of very
imposing appearance, stately of mien,
gorgeous OF attire and supercilous of
manner toward those who were unavoid-
ably pushed against her in the crowd.
A busy, busting little man behind her
undertook to open bis umbrella IN the
lobby, 40 that he might be prepared to
brave the rain when he reached the
street. It was no easy thing to do in
such a mass of people, but he contrived
to turn his umbrella point upward, and
az he neared the open door, proceeded
to open it suddenly. Unfortunately, as
bis umbrella extended, it caught her be.
meath the coil OF HAIR that adorned the
hack of her head. To the horror of the
gentleman, he cav the ]ady's bonnet and
her entire head of hair mount upward on
the point If bis umbrella. There was
agony and remorse on both eides. Apo,-
oeies were of no avail. The unhai py
man darted forth into the stormy nisht.
The lady did not wait to replace her
head gear, but disappeared with it in
her hand into the gloomy recesses Of IN
attendant hack.

THE TWO WISHERs.

Out In the street. this winters day,
A brawny man is shoveling snow;
Steadily there he works away
With muscular arms and face aglow,
Glad to earn pittance for pay,
Shoveling off the snow.
Unto eyes that can only see
The tangible outward, here is one
Who suffers the stings Of poverty,
Who YEARLY drudges from sun to sun,
Whose shackled hours are never free,
Whose work is never done
For ragged he 10, and scanti]y clad,
And one would be willing to hazard the guess
That meat and bread are not to be had
BY him and his in righteousness;
For all his life he has shoseled through
The drifts Of want and distress
Yet keener vision might detect
Some priceless things which belong to him;
Muscles OF iron, q form erect,
An eye that 10 never glazed or dim,
And the rich, hot blood of perfect health
Coursing through body and limb.
Now, across the street from the ehoveler stands
stately mansion, built OF stone.
And there, in the window, with folded hands,
pale-faced mau looks out alone
Looks out at the laborer over the way,
At the snow his shovel has thrown.
Exotic plants in the window bloom,
Shut in by curtains Of finest lace,
And scattered about the spacious room
Are all things which bett the place,
poor man might subsist year
On the cost OF that Sevres vase.
Resting moment, the shoveler fees
The face in the window across the street,
And he thinks: Could live like that, at my ease
With nothing to do and plenty to eat,
With money and servants and all at command,
Then surely would life be sweet"
And he YEARLY sie',s az he turns again
To the work unfinished that waits his hands;
But his sigh is echoed in sharper pain
By him who has called it forth, who stands
Watching the laborer, while he thinks:
"Houses and money and lands
"AN that have Of power or wealth.
would FRI ely give if could but know
The rarer riches of strength and health;
Yes, all On the laborer there I'd bestow,
If I, like him, could 60 ont IN the street,
And shovel OFT the snow"

"They must have a good deal to do
with agriculture in Wall Street," re-
marked Mrs. Shuttle, as che laid down
the paper, IL see they have been shear
ing lambs there. Poor things just as
it is coming on winter!'
"Oh my dear, you are mistaken. It
isn't lambs that they shear; not real,
genuine lambs. You see, if go into
Wall Street, with little money, I get
crushed between the bulls and the bears
and lose my money; then I'm a lamb"
"How much did you lose?"
You will realize that better when
you want your new winter rigging"

lncreastna Lean Meat in Pfus.

QuCtE&4oAuX 0AS&40 VAe&4G III T1X8o
We may we'll suppose that the habit
of the pigs in laying on an excessive
quantity OF fat has been caused by long
and exec sive feeding of fat .producing
food, and it is not likely that any sudden
transformation could be brought about;
but it is we'll known that the pigs of Diff
ferent countries offer in respect to fat.
We have only to contrast fattening pigs
of this country with thoee in Canada.
There pork is fattened partly upon bar
ley, but largely upon peas, highly nit
rogenous food, yielding large proper
ton of muscle, and our pigs are fattened
almost wholly upon corn, and excessively
starcby and fattening food. The Canadi-
an pork has much larger proportion of
