Less Of Confidence.

A shepherd was eating his dinner
beside spring when a wolf walked out
Of the forest and coolly inquired:
"Well, how is the wool and mutton
business?"
Pretty fair" replied the astonished
shepherd.
II have come to tell YOU" continued
the wolf, "that the hyenas have formed
a plot to break into you sheep-fold to-
night, and to offer my services as a pri-
vate Waterman"
You are ever so kind to give me this
warming"
"And you just leave the gate open
and go to bed feeling perfectly SAFE The
first hyena who comes fooling around
your mutton will find his heels breaking
his neck"
After some further conversation it
was agreed that the gate should be left
open and that the wolf should stand
guard.
Darkness was scarcely an hour old
when a great cutlery was heard at the
fold and the shepherd ran out and dis
covered the wolf in trap he had set
within the pen.
"Is this the kind of confidence you
had in me?" howled the wolf as he
struggled to get free.
II had plenty of confidence in you"
replied the shepherd, "but more in the
trap! Prepare to die"

The LAWYERS Of the United states.

Citizens of republics like to talk
about the foolish, maudlin sentiment of
equality, and they talk until they are
hoarse in praise of the fact that there
are no privileged classes IN this coun-
trs. The devil there isn't There isn't
in any country class so privileged as
the lawyers are here. The imperial
family of Russia, the royalty of Ger
many, the nobility of England are not
more privileged, as class, than the
lawyers of the United States Put
yourself on the witness-stand, for exam
pie. You are an average citizen. You
try to pay your obligations. You attend
to business. You try to succeed. You
are as honest as your fellows. You take
drink now and then, and you know a
pretty woman when you see her, and
you wouldn't be decent fellow if you
didn't. But the minute you get on the
witness stand, with modern lawyer in
front of you, you begin to think that
you are the biggest scoundrel in the
world. The lawyer will make you a
thief. liar, drunkard, hbertine, an
atheist, and everything else that's bad,
He may ask you if you ever served q
term in the penitentiary. OF course at
this the opposing counsel objects, and
the examiner says 4 "Well, I don't
press that question:" and so you, the
poor witness, are left, half the audience
thinking that you have been in the peni-
tertiary. If you are a newcomer to the
place, with only a year or two residence,
YOU are sure to be diSgraced. If you
appeal to the judge he tells you that
your are not obliged to criminate your
self, etc. A cowardiy lawyer may brow
beat and abuse q brave man Oh the wit
ness stand, and there is no redress for
the witness. If he spits in his face and
knocks him kown outside the court
room the brave man IS sent to jail. for
the members of the bar stand together
like band of bandits. 1t is not alone
in the courtroom that lawyers have q
license that makes them privileged
class. There is scarcely anything that
a lawyer can't do under the cover of his
diploma. He can arrange conspiracy,
perjury, bribery, and dozen other
crimes for which he cannot be punished
because lie is a lawyer" counsel" He
can take a fee for anything. If it is
crooked he is all right, because he is
counsel" If journalist should do
the same things he would be sent to the
penitentiary.-H Henri u. RdmSdeU.

Norwegian Breakfasts and Dinners.

The foreigner will be perplexed at
first by the appearance of the break
fast table, which is usually covered
from end to end, and from side to side,
with an infinite variety of small dishes
containing slices of tongue, sausage,
ham, corned beef, smoked salmon,
bears flesh and other dainties. There
ere also tins of caviare and Ct sardines,
sprats and other kinds of preserved
fish. There is usually heap of rad
lshes piled round glass of water, and
whatever vacant spaces are left about
the table are filed up with huge pieces
of cheese - Norwegian, Dutch, Swiss
and English. In the middle of all
there stands a bottle of aqua-vit, or
brandi-vin-the white wine of the coun-
try, which is a strong spirit favored
with caraway seeds, and distantlv re-
sembling kummel. The orthodox fash
ion is to begin with a slice of bread and
butter, covered with fakes of cheese,
and with nip Of aqua-vit as an appe
tlzer. Those, however, who do not
care to breakfast on relishes and the
mere accidents of the meal may take
refuge in the hot dishes, which are
usually served in the shape of fish aud
meat. Salmon is the staple fare ali
over Norway. You get it at morning,
noon and night, and in all forms. Il
enables one to understand the stories
that are told of the farm servants in
Scotland long ago, who stipulated in
their engagements that they should not
have salmon for dinner oftener than
three times a week. The supper table
is very like the breakfast table and quite
as abundant. The beverages in COM
mon use at both meals are coffee, Nor
wegian beer andwine- generally claret.
A Norwegian dinner is very like a
dinner at home, but there are some pc
culiarities on state occasions which are
worth noting. For example, the Gus
tom of drinking wine with the guests at
table-a custom which is almost ex-
ploded in this country-is still in full
force in Norway. The initiative, how
ever, rests with the host, who drinks
wine with every one, but it would be
breach of etiquette for any one to offer to
drink wine with him. The guests, how
ever, may drink with one another to
their hearts content, clinking glasses
In the German fashion, and when in jo-
vial mood vociferating the word "skaal"
in token of good fellowship. 1t is also
noticeable that the toasts are given not
after the cloth is drawn, but during
dinner. The speeches are made be-
tween the courses.-LO1ldO7l Times.

Norway Farmers,

4 recent traveller among the Nor
Wegians writes: Though as far north
as Shetland, which is almost treeless,
we are here only On the fringe OF the
great forest regions of Norway. There
are few high mountains visible in the
background until the head of the lake
is reached, and there is evidence of a
large and industrious population on the
banks. There are houses scattered all
over the hillside, some of them at a
great elevation, and not only at the
lower end of the lake, but far up the
country. To judge by the size and ap-
pearance of some of these houses the
Norwegian farmers must be well-to-do.
AS is the rule in Norway, their houses
and the lands which they cultivate are
the property of the farmers, and they
remain in the same family from genera
ton to generation. The eldest son sue
ceeds his father in the farm when he
dies, and the other sons go to business
in the towns or look out for farms for
themselves. This is the best grain
region in Norway, and farming is car
ried on with considerable skill and en-
terprise. Nearly every farm has both
pasture land and forest, as we'll as ara
BILE land, attached to it. Many Of the
farmers have as many as 100 cows, and
do an extensive trade in dairy produce
and they are extensive timber mer-
chants, as may be inferred from the
hundreds Of stray logs floating about on
the lake and from the vast timber RATS
formed at its upper end"

From the great London (Eag.) Times
Among the many specifics introduced to the
public for the cure sof dyspepsia, indigestion,
arrangements of various, kinds, and as a general
family medicine, none have met with such GEN
ulne appreciation as Hop Bitters introduced
to this country but comparatively short time
since, to meet the great demand for pure safe
and perfect family medicine, they have rapidly
increased in favor, until they are, without ques-
ton the most popular and valuable medicine
known. Its worldwide renown is not due to
the advertising it has received; it is famous by
reason of its inherent virtues. 1t does all that
is claimed for it. 1t discharges its curative
powers without any of the evil effects of other
bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and
harmless for the most frail woman, smallest
child and weakest invalid to use. Few are the
homes indeed where the great discovery has not
already been hailed as deliverer and welcomed
as friend. 1t does what others affect to do.

AbSurdities of Mems Garb.

Why are buttons placed On the back
of coat? Mr.. Gotch remarks that the
tailors say that they are there to "mark
the waist. But why should the waist
be marked? AS matter of fact, the
only reason for the existence of these
two buttons is that they are a survival
from the time when they were of use,
when men buttoned back the long flaps
of their coats in order to walk more
freely, OF found them useful in sustain
ing the sword-belt. We have no flaps
now, we wear no swords now then why
keep the buttons? Another rudimen-
tary organ may be found at the end of
the sleeve. There is always a cuff
marked, generally by double row of
stitches, which performs no useful SER
vice, unless it is to remind us that our
forefathers had facings to their sleeves,
and that the little buttons which still
appear at the end were of real use when
the sleeve was tight at the wrist An
other inevitable feature of the coat is
the collar. In old times this collar was
of some service; it was large and turned
up well in inclement weather; in order
to allow OF its buttoning properly
around the neck, nick was necessary.
But, though We hardly ever think of
turning up an ordinary coat-collar, and
find it of little use if we do, we still pre-
serve both it and the hicks as sTrvivals.
The stovepipe hat, too, is only the car
cass on which our ancestors were won't
to display ribbons and knots and other
gauds. In itself it is both ugly and
uncomfortable. Then we wear absurd
neckties that do not tie and pins that
do not pin.-BOSton Herald.

sc Hot PlOWShaTeS.o

In Judge Tourgee's story, "Hot Plow-
shares" a crisis occurs in the life
of the heroine, who is a pupil at a
New England boarding-school, which
no doubt had many parallels in real
life during the period so wildly de-
picted. The characteristics of the COM
munity where the school is located are
capitally drawn, as are also the con-
sentative views of the kind-hearted
teacher, when the peaceful household
is thrown off its balance by the occur
renee so powerfully sketched in the
following extract:
ut was to this community and to this
woman that the report had come, so
well supported that none could doubt,
that favorite pupil of this exclusive
institution was a threefold social leper
-1legitimate, the daughter OF a slave
perhaps a slave herself-and cursed
with that befouling faint, the blood of
Africa. The metropolitan journals had
brought the news, now fully confirmed,
of the death of Capt. Hargrove in the
attempt to remove the slaves from
Mallowbanks, together with the fur
ther information, derived from papers
found upon his person that removed all
possible doubt, that the daughter of
George Eighmie and Aida had been
entered as pupil at Beechwood. The
village paper, which was rampantly
Abolition in its tone, had referred to il
with sly touch of qualification at the
position in which the principal would
find herself combined with really
sympathetic allusion to the young lady
herself. Another journal, Of opposite
proclivities, published in village a few
miles away, had discoursed upon it at
considerable length, taking occasion to
express its entire confidence that Miss
Hunniwen had been imposed upon by
the accomplished kidnapper and the
girl whom he had represented as his
daughter. It added that the latter
was said to be gifted with rare beauty
which the quadroon sometimes pos
sesses, but was easily recognized as
having colored blood when the fact
was once suggested to an observer.
Three letters had also come by that
mornings mail to the lady principal
which brought wildly before her mind
all the horrors of the fact she had
learned. Two of these were from
Southern patrons. They were bitterly
indignant at the fact that their daugh
tiers had been made the victims of such
an infamous fraud, and demanded theil
instant return to their homes. They
denounced her in unmeasured terms
for the very sin she hated most-de
ception. She felt that their anger was
justified. She was angry herself al
the imposition which had been prac
ticed upon her, and utterly appalled,
i at the disgrace which must ensue tc
| her beloved seminary.
