How to Travel Without a Ticket.

way, a man got into one of the car
riages and presently began talking tc
a fellow-passenger. After time he
asked the gentleman if he had heard
the story about how man Travelled
without y ticket. The gentleman said
he had not: so the man asked him tC
lend him his ticket, that he might show
him how it was done, and began tid-
ding about with it, but pretended that
the story had suddenly Slipped ont OF
his head, but that he would be sure tc
remember it soon. After a time the
train got near London, and as the man
still could not remember the story he
returned the gentleman his ticket. This
struck the gentleman as. being very GU
rious, and so he watched the man.
When the man got to the barrier and
was asked for his ticket he said he had
given it up, but the ticket-collector de-
med it. and after good deal of alter
cation the man pulled some silver out
of his pocket and was about to pay fol
his fareawhen he suddenly said (produc.

prove that he had given up his ticket,
because he remembered playing about
with it in the train and tearing off 6

with the piece torn of. On looking the
ticket-collector found ticket with s

THE TRUE KNIGHT.

We sigh above historic pages .
Brave with the deeds of gallant men,
And wish those peers of earlier ages
In our dull day could live again.
And yet no knight of ancient days began
In chlvalry with the American.
He does not frequent joust or tourney,
And fiaunt his ladys colors there,
But i'm the tedium of a journey
He shows that deferential care.
That thoughtful kindness to the sex at large,
Which makes each woman feel herselt ms
charge.
He does not challenge foes to duel
To win his lady's cast-off glove,
But proves in ways less rash AMI cruel
The truth and fervor of his love-
Not by.bold deeds, but by his revercnt mien,
He pays his public homage to his queen.
He may not shine with courtly graccs,
But yet his kind, respectful air
To woman, whatso err her place is,
1t might he well if Kings should share.
So. for the chivalric true gentleman,
Give me, j say, our own American.

Swiss Honesty.

An interesting study is mankind in
that idyllic country, famous for its hon
esty, of which have seen some interest
ing proofs. Do not suppose for one
moment that l am going to exalt the
liberality of the hotel-keepers, for they
are shamefully overcharging, now that
the country is full of English and Ameri-
cans, who would consider hotel mira
dig. if they paid less than thirty shill-
inDs dav, which is only S7-a mere
trifle in their country. But among the
people truth and honesty do still exist.
For instance, in Brinz, wanted to buy
a real '.Gernshorn, of which so many
limitations are sold, and the price n
woman asked me seemed to be rather
high. co. she said, ''if you wish to
buy those horns cheaper, there's aturner
in the village who, | am sure, will let
you have them very reasonable. And
Herewith she actually gave me his add
Dress, and l bought what WANTED as
well as l could wish. SO ordered a
lockmaker to make me a key for bag
[ had, and when he brought it, I found
it rather simple in appearance and
asked him to make me one more elabOr-
ate, but I kept the. first one. When he
brought the second one found it clumsy,
and told him SO; s'but, said !, Il have
ordered it, SO you may leave it." 80
no. he said, II will find some mode OF
employing it; if you do not hike it, it
would be unjust to take money for it.
So he charged ten pence Ga france) for
the first one, and took the second away.
But, touching as these proofs are, they
are exceptions, and the visitors have
thrown about their money with such
recklessness that now everybody expects
to be paid, and if any employee, post,
master, railway servant, ETC., tells you
that such thing cannot be done il
