Peter the Great.

When Peter the Great was living in
England, he said and did many strange
things. When in Westminster Hall, he
inquired Of o distinguished bdrrister
who were the gentlemen in wigs and
gowns, and being told they were law
yers, said:
Lawyers! Why, have but two in
my whole dominion, and, when return
] mean to hang one."
The house which he occupied while
in England-Saye's court, at DeptfoId,
the property of Evelyn, the author OF
@Sylva"-was left in q dirty, ruinous
condition after the imperial visit.
In the garden at Saye's court was
thick, prickly holly hedge, 400 feet
long. This fine holly hedge was
source of great delight to Peter and
his retinue in their drunken revelries.
They would get wheelbarrows, and,
putting q person in each, for wagers,
charge the hedge. Peter himself was
sometimes in the barrow; but the grand
est attack of all was made 10y his Car
ship, when he drove the luckless Prince
MenZikof four feet into the bush and
left him sticking there.
Evelyn's servant writes TO him of
their doings at Deptford:
4There is house full of people and
right nasty. The Gar lies in your Ii
brary. He dimes twice, at 10 o'clock
and 9. The King is coming here to-
day, and tie best parlor is tolerably
clean for him."

PUTTING ON. A PoULTIcE.-A
little Norwalk boy got a silver in
his foot, and motion to poultice
the wound, made by his mother
and seconded by his grandmother,
was carried in spite Of his object.
ions. He kicked and screamed,
and protested that he would not
submit to any such indignity, but
the majority against him was two
to one, and the poultice was made
ready. 1t was arranged that the
grandmother should apply the poul-
tice while the patients mother
stood over him with stick with
authority and instructions to apply
that also if he made the least SHOW
of resistance.
When all was ready the youngster
was placed on the bed and opera
tions began. As the bot poultice
touched the boys foot, he opened
his mouth to say something, but his
mother, with the stick, awed him in
to silence. Again the boy strove
to make himself heard, and again
the appraised stick warned him to
keep quiet. In a few short min
utes the poultice was firmly in
place and the boy was tucked up in
bed there to remain until the med
icine had done its work. As the
urchin's tormentors moved away, a
shrill, small voice came from under

NIT her to bind herself by any en-
gagement, she knew that be looked
upon her as his future wife. She
took great blame to herself, for not
having told US this at first. If there
had been a Mrs. Smith she was
sure she should have confded all to
her; but, as there was no actual
promise Of marriage, she could not
bring herself to speak Oft to us,
particularly as she never supposed
it possible that she possessed any
hold upon cur hearts save the gen.
crous sympathy which had opened
them to her. She had hoped in
time we should both be far happier
than she should have made either
Of Us. She knew us too well, alas!
to think that we had loved her with
, love to be ct once conquered; but
| time and her absence, for she must
leave us now, would bring heal
ing.
We read the letter together, and
as we finished my brother looked
up.
"We have much more than.
enough for two solitary men; let
US make her happy with part of
it."
He had uttered the thought that
was in my heart also. He replied
to Margaret's letter. for nature had
made him more eloquent than l.
He begged her to remain with US,
by entreaties that could not be re-
sisted; exculpating her from the
faintest shadow of blame, and for
the sake of tile tender love between
our dead mother, for our sister,
henceforth.
In the meantime / wrote to DR..
Wentworth, at 0swego, informing
him that circumstances had induced
! my ward to confde to me the rela-
tons existing between them, and
limiting that her dowry would be
sufficient to make their marriage
prudent at any time. IN conclu-
sion, | begged leave to offer him
the advice OF man that had seen
more Of life than himself, not to
delay lis happiness too late.
1t ended as we had foreseen and
intended. We persuaded Margaret
to remain with us until she was
married and that was not long.
The dear child was very happy,
though l could see with that deli.
cate tenderness she strove to show
us ali her JOY. We see her often,
and we alike think that she owes
part of her happiness to US. 1t is
all the swecter that she does not
know it.
We live alone again in the old
house, with the old servants. The
paper on the walls, the carpets on
the floors, have grown dim, and time
has softened little the memory of
the sharpest wound our hearts ever
received. We have given up all
thoughts Of love and marriage. We
shall live together till death parts

RETROSPECT.

Oh ! to go back in our lives,
To live them over again,
Knowing, all that now we know,
Seeing all we saw not then.
On TO refrain from speaking
Where that hasty word was said.
Oh but to break that silence
Which weighs on our heart like lead.
Oh but TO tarry once more
At that point where two roads met.
And choose as we chose not then,
Made wise by a life's regret.
Oh but to set out afresh
With some who from earth are fec,
Now we've read them by the radiance
Death sheds around the dead +.
Thus cry we now and again
In words of remorseful pain.
Yet deep in our heart Of hearts
Thank God that the prayer is vain.

A Methodist preacher of New Egypt, N.
j., about three weeks ago announced to his
congregation that on Sept. s he should die a
natural death. The prediction was founded
on dream ten years before informing him
that In just ten years he should meet his
dead brother in heaven. The time was up
on Sept s. On the appointed day about one
hundred persons gathered at the parsonage
to see their shepherd breathe his last. Pre-
cisely what their feelings were when they
found the day gone and their pastor still
alive and in good health, it is difficult to i'm
agine The pastor explained that he had
made mistake in the day and hour and
perhaps consoled his disappointed company
by the assertion that at any rate he would

ercettence of the workingman to find himself
accused, as he is, by labor journal Of
summoning cranks before his committee
for the purpose of throwing discredit on the

good deal of consolation out of his belief
