Patience Lutrells nerves stand the ordeal
of both "Buckram" and ssfiabbiness." Both
her stately uncle and her languid cousin,
zoo, are following in Annabel's wake of adj
miration. Is not Patience, in her utter
simplicity, such contrast to the generality
of girls?
Again, she wears only cotton gown
white, because it is evening land her dec
orations are loosely knotted sash of dull
old-gold satin, while on her breast hangs q
quaint Indian jewel her mother has lent
her. That, too, is dull and tawny, though
of rare workmanship. So her striking
qualities, If she have any, must be innate,
and not the effect of clothes.
She is mixture of girlish. fun and of
womanly dignity. She is not shy, and she
has natural tact by which she divines the
right thing to say to the right person.
Days 60 on, and she sees 1.-THE world "

Deaf as a Pest.

A marine, while serving on board
ship of-war, complained from time to
time to the surgeon that he was grad
ually losing the sense of hearing, and
at the end of several months he assert
ed that he was completely deaf. AS
he was suspected Of shamming, aud as
he could not be made to perform his
duty, he was brought to the gangway
aud logged; but previously to his be-
ing paraded for punishment, and dar-
ing the operation, he was informed
that lie should be pardoned if he would
admit the fraud and return to his duty.
Every means that promised to be sue
cesstul in surprising him to show that
he possessed the Sense of hearing was
resorted to, but without success. Fir
ing pistol close to his ear, suddenly
rousing him during sleep, land endeavor-
ing to alarm him, ELECTED nothing
satisfactory. The officers at Haslar
Hospital, where be had been sent, re-
solved to punish him second time.
Dir. Lind, who was then physician to
the hospital, begged that the flogging
might be deferred for short time,
with the view Of giving time to try
another experiment. Th: doctor chose
favorable opportunity, and coming
unperceived behind him one day, he
put his hand upon the mans shoulder,
and observed, in an ordinary tone of
voice, Il am happy to tell you that
YOU are iuvalided at last ''Am ], by
Jove," replied the overjoyed marine.
The imposture being thus rendered
evident, he was forthwith punished
and sent on board ship.
