GRAND DEPOT.

Don't care a button u
denotes the insignifcance at
tached to these most useful
Of dress. But
Though little in several senses,
they belong to the great little
things of our lives. They
are indispensable, but unlike
rubber bands and the like, I'VE
don't wonder how we ever
did without them, for we nev-
er did. Their antiquity is be-
yond historic ken. The first
button was no doubt a swi-
vel,a bit of stick and a string,
such as was possible even
with our earliest ancestors,
and such as rustics even now
improvise in emergencies.
In our day, two causes
have combined to augment
the trade. One. the increas.
ing demand of the age for va
riety and richness. Another,
the steady encroachments Of
the gentler sex, from Derby
hats to Waukenphast shoes,
and with the advent Of tailor
made suits and other like
habiliments, (and for which
man receives no exchange),
of course hooks and eyes are
as obsolete as tallow dips.

men contains, among other
L" notions," an assortment Of
buttons, which the ladies as
sert is unequaled. This is
probable, for in our gather

ficent buyer ranges both this

The Orange Tree.

The orange tree is the longest-lived
fruit tree known. 1t is reputed to have
obtained the age of 300 years, and it has
been known to have fourished and
Borne fruit for more than 100 years.
No fruit tree will grow and produce
fruit so well under rough treatment.
1t commences to bear the third or fourth
year after budding, and by the fifth
year it will produce an abundant crop,
but it's yield will increase gradually
under favorable circumstances, and as
the years pass on it will become a very
productive tree. The early growth of
the orange is quite rapid, and by the
tenth year it will have increased more
than in the next fifty years, so far as
its breadth and height are concerned;
but as its age multiplies its fruit stems
greatly, and an old tree will sometimes
bear several thousand oranges.

seemingly hours, to the dying man, who
had not dared, after al, to express the
greatest desire of his heart.
Eric took his former seat at the bed

he stified back pang of pain from his
heart: my dear Marshall, you know
not what you ask! Consider one
moment, and read the imprudent and
improper step, in the eyes of Mrs.
Grundy, which you are beseeching me
to take in behalf of your child. But

"Yes, for she has since led me to believe

EXtraYagance In Living.

Such crimes as those of Ferdinand
Ward, while they spring often from de-
pravity, are oftener the result of mere
weakness of character. Thackeray in
many of his minor sketches constantly
draws the portrait of the man and
woman whose means are not equal to
the style of living which they desire ::
and they desire it not for itself, but
only because others have it. They are
not strong and steady enough to be
content with that which they can COM
mand and afford, and the means to Sc
cure the other must somehow be OBJ
tanned. Thackeray puts the fact In the
simplest and most amusing form. The
young couple must give q dinner, and
instead of the joint of lamb and the
glass of beer, which is the only repast
to which they have the moral right to
invite friend-if, indeed, the beer may
be morally permitted-they must needs
prepare feast which they can not hon.
orably afford, and for the sole reason
that other people who can afford it give
such feasts.
1t is this doing a little more, or q
great deal more, than the doer can hon.
estly afford, which leads to the swindles
of Wall street. Living in house too
expensive for his means, maintaining it
accordingly, dressing as his richer
neighbors dress, doing in all things as
they dot is this weak compliance
which is hidden in the fine houses. ana
drives to the park in the fine equipages,
which presently ends in Ludlow Street
Jail and hopeless disgrace. Yet it is
the poorest kind of competition, be-
cause the little imitator might see even
with his dull eyes that there must al
ways be a few persons who can do the
thing" better than all the rest, and
without feeling it. The bullfrog may
swell until he bursts, but he cannot
rival the OK.
This is the tendency which all sensi-
bic people-and great many other
wise sensible people are swept away by
fought q<etly to resist. The power
of individual example is immense. but
it is often underestimate by the indi-
vidual. my vote is of no consequence,
but, since you wish it, 1 will vote" said
a man to his neighbor, and the right
candidate was elected by majority of
one. The family which in the midst of
a saturnalia of luxury and extravaganza
refuses to take part in it, and holds to
a simple, moderate, temperate way, is
diminishing the supply of Ferdinand
Wards and Wall street panics. Ed

1t is now pretty evident that in those
olden times the poison employed to Kill
criminals was that OF the most virulent
kind of snakes. All will remember how
its effects were described by Socrates
when he was dying by its means. 1t
commenced by taking away the power
of the lower limbs, and gradually work
ing its Way upwards. The bite of the
cobra produces just the same effect, and
causes death in the same way. A case
is thus described 10y an eye witness:
Among many instances of snake-bite
poisoning L have seen, was strong
Young Brahmin of twenty, well known
to me, who had been bitten during the
night while watching his maize crop.
Ere knew of it they had brought him
into my compound in front of the bung-
allow. AS yet he walked quite steadily.
only leaning slightly on the arm of an
other man. There was that peculiar
drow,y look in his eyes, however, as
from strong narcotic, which indicated
his having been bitten for some time,
and left but little room for hope. He
could still clearly tell me the particu-
lars. He had been bitten, he said, on
putting his foot to the ground while
moving off his charpoy in the dark, but,
thinking the bite was that of non
poisonous snake, had given no more
heed to the matter, and gone to sleep
again, till he was awoke by his friends
coming in search of him. With some
difficulty l was able to find the bite
very faint, no larger than the prick
from pin, but still the unmistakable
double mark of the poison fangs. He
felt the poison, he said, gradually as
cending the limb. and pointed to a part
just below the knee, where he felt that
it had already reached, the limb below
that being, he said, benumbed and pain
less to the touch, like the foot when
"asleep."
L gave him the usual remedies, and
kept him walking to-and-fro, but grad
ually his limbs seemed to be losing
their power or voluntary motion, and his
head was beginning to droop from the
overpowering drowsiness that was
surely gathering over him. At inter
walls he pointed out the poison line
steadily rising higher, and was still
able to- answer questions clearly on
being reused. At length it seemed to
be of no use tolturing him further by
keeping him moving about, and he was
allowed to remain at rest. Shortly
after this, while being supported in a
sitting posture, all at once, without any
premonitory sign, he gave one or two
long signs and life ceased, about an hour
after he had himself walked into the
compound. There was something ter
ribly real in this faculty of pointing
out each stage of the ascending poison
Gas the snake-bitten patient always cam
that was gradually bringing him nearer
and nearer to death, with the prospect
of only another hour or half hour OF
life remaining to him; and yet the pa
tent does not seem to realize this with
the keenness that looker-on does,
probably from the poison benumbing at
the same time the powers of the mind
as well as of the body.-A1eOn.

"My darling, is that you?" the dying
man exclaimed. "Bless you for this
hour" Edith, wound her arms around
her fathers neck, her tears falling thick
and fast, her heart like lead in her
bosom.
The Colonel passed the landlady on
the stairs, as he was descending, and
spoke something in low tone to her,
which set her heart to fiuttering, and
caused her to hasten to her wardrobe to
don her -go-to-meeting clothes.
The sick-room door opened softly, but
Edith was all unconscious, until light
hand upon her shoulder aroused heI
from her intense grief.
"Are you ready? A clergyman awaits
in the next room. Shall 1 call to him
now?" asked the anxious voice of Eric
Lennox, as he perceived the great
change about to take place with the
dying man.
"Yes, 1 am quite ready" Edith said
with assumed calmness.
