And the O7ar Went to Bed.

There was a company of gentlemen
engaged in little game of poker in a
prominent gentleman's parlor one night
lately. 1t grew late, and fears were ex-
pressed by the party that they were
trespassing upon the kindness OF the
host, who, by the way, was not pres
ent. mot at all, gentlemen-not at
all. Play as long as you please. am
Car herer' said the master of the
mansion.
YES, gentlemen, play as long as you
pleasen' said n silvery voice, and all
rose as the mistress of the house stood
before them. "Play as long as you
please, gentlemen! But as it is nearly
one o'clock, the Car is going to bed!"
And he went.

The white cliffs on which Dover
Castle stands are the last objects which
the traveller loses sight of on his way to
Calais, and the first object which his
eyes discover on his return Journey
homeward The buildings themselves
are standing witness of every change
in English history, from the occupation
by the Romans to the present reign.
Both cliff and castle, it might have been
confidently prophesied would last as
long as the English nation itself, but the
cliffs are now being undermined by the
action Of the sea. The waves have for
many wears been gradually washing
away the coast line ON both sides OF
Shakspeare's Cliff, and they now
threaten 70 carry away the base of the
Castle Of Dover.

happened to me. | don't know as it
made me any wiser, but it made me
more thoughtful about the joys and sor-
rows of my fellow beings.
| had cried dozen of pawnbrokcrs'
sales in my time, but | had never
thought of the story connected with my
article Of sale 1t was but a joke to me;
but as | said before, something made me
think, and ever since | haven't had the
same heart TO cry away the goods of the
poor creatures that want and misery
have driven into Old Two to Ones
clutches.
The city of BIS a splendid market
for our business and the pawnbrokcrs
give us some Of our biggest sales. An
odd lot came into the wareroom one day,
consigned to us by Clutchcn q Keep.
As it fell TO my duty to assert and label
the goods. II also fell to me to have
part in the following story:
The consignment consisted mainly of
glass and silyerware, but in the lot
came across a few pieces of furniture
which attracted my attention from the
fact OF our having an order from n
Western house TO pick up all the antiq-
uties alloat for a bric-a-brac firm
Here were about dozen specimens
of uncomfortable chairs, some glasses
and cabinets, and at once labeled them
sold, that they might be forwarded ut
once to our Western house. One article |
