come from the gridde and spread each with .
thin layer of crushed strawberries. Sprinkle
lightly with sugar. There should be three
griddlecakes and three layers Of berries for each
plate, and the short-cak should he served hot.

found to be an agreeable accompaniment The

An ingenious woman whose closet room was
limited had large three cornered shelf made in
corner Of her sitting-room, under which she
placed the stove in the summer The urn, legs
and pipe were put inside the stove to reduce it to
as small compass as possible. The shelf was
covered with gray linen, and curtain of cash
mere. with crazy-work border at top and bot
tom, was fastened to the edge with brass tacks,
and hung to the floor. The curtain was lined
with sheet and weights placed in the hem.
Some brio a-brac was placed upon the shelf, and
the corner thus made much more attractive than
the stove remaining in the middle Of the room
could have been on warm days.

A few years ago John B. Cough the temper
ance lecturer, was lecturing in Western city.
AT the hotel where he was stopping big, strap
ping man also registered who INDUCED freely in
the cup. Before the lecture he learned that
Cough was there. and had him pointed out by
the hotel clerk. He concluded to go that even
ing and hear the famous advocate of prohibition,
and braced himself up with many strong
draughts. After the lecture Cough came back
to the hotel. This man had taken offense at
something that was said by the speaker, and ap-
preached him:
What did you mean by insulting me at your
lecturer said the irate and bibulous disciple of
Bacchus.
Cough never noticed him and turned to the
clerk and asked for some letters. This indiffer
ence made him furious, and he planted three or
four singing blows on the face of the eloquent
lecturer. Cough took out a handkerchief,
stanched the blood that came from his mouth,
looked the ruffian in the face and slowly walked
up stairs. He rang for messenger boy, and in
five minutes the big man was on his way to the
station house between two policemen. If Cough
had condescended to have a rough and tumble
fight with the ruffian he knew that it would have
been paraded in the papers underneath big head
lines, and perhaps have made him a reputation
as slugger. 1t is said his control of temper is
wonderful

Nj. Cherbuliez on Gladstone.

From Article in Revue des Deux Mondes.
Every one has heard of Memnon, who con-
ceived the mad project of being perfectly wise.
He had sworn to fly from women, to ALLURE
costly pleasures and excuses of any kind. He
said to himself MY desires being always mod
crate my health will be always the same; my
ideas will always be pure and enlightened;
shall never envy anybody; 1 shall keep my
friends, because they will find no fault with me;
shall never be out of temper with them, nor
they with me; nothing is easier" But it came
to pass that Memnon. having in the morning
thus given up women, excuses at table, and
gaming and quarrels, was before night betrayed
and robbed by fair lady, got drunk gambied,
and had lost an eye in quarrel. This is some
what like the history of Mr.. Gladstone. He had
made VOW to be perfectly wise and thought
that all the world would be like him. Notwith-
standing his maxims and excellent resolutions,
he has Quarreled with the whole universe, and
he has not at all done good business. Should
not this lead to the conclusion that reasonable
policy is not always the most fortunatel

READING FOR YOUNG FOLKS,

The wild young kitten aroused the cat
As doxing at ease in the path she sat.
"Oh, mother he cried, II have just eeen
A flower that suggested an Orient Queen!
'Tis yonder by the nasturtium vine

q am not quite clear what these terms may mean,
But they've something to do with the flower I've
seenD
And the aim in life of high -souled cat,
Is to gaze forever flowers like that
To the wild young kitten replied the eat,
As blinking her eyes in the she sat:
II should hone had known how the sunfowers grow

But they caused in my WE'LL poised mind,
Ideas of dubious, dangerous kind!
And your time henceforth-it's your mas advice
Will be spent in maturing your views on mice!"

Cinderella and Her Little Slipper.

LOnuOn UiODe.
The origin of this nursery tale is sufficiently
curious. About the year 1870 a French actor of
equal talent and wealth, named Thenvenard, in
passing through the streets of Paris, observed
upon cobblers stall the shoe OF female which
struck him by the remarkable smallness Of its
size. After admiring it for some time, he re-
turned to his house, but his thoughts reverted to
the shoe with such intensity that he reappeared
at the stall next day. but the cobbler could give
no other clew to the owner than that it had been
left in his absence for the purpose of being re-
paired.
Day after day did Thenvenard return to his
post to watch the refrigeration of the slipper,
which proceeded slowly, nor did the proprietor
appear to claim it. Although he had completed
the sixtieth year of his age so extravagant be-
came his passion for the fair one that he became
were it possible for Frenchman of that day
to be so-melancholoy and miserable. His pain
was, however, somewhat appeased by the APP
pearance of the little foot ITSELF appertaining to
pretty and youthful girl in the very humblest
class of life All distinctions were leveled at
once by love The actor sought the parents of
the damsel procured their consent to the match,
and actually made her his wife.

On mountain top and in leafhidden rs.
No flower found immaculate of ills,
From which, l dreamed Lovers flowers should
ridden be.
All were alike from grass-blade unto tree;
Even to Lovers long.favored daffodls!
When despared, Love led my willing sight
TO where thou stood'st in beauty fair and free
My heart-chords pulsed in JOY exultantly
When in my loving arms held thee tight;
And Love in sunbeam whispered in his fight
''She is my flower and blooms for none but thee"

Den: Perley PoOre.
President Lincoln, rared in the lap of pow
erty. was very economical. When he came to
Washington he had saved from his professional
earnings $50, 900, and he did not owe dime.
During his Presidential term he saved from his
salary Of $50, 600 year 500, 600, which Henry D.
Cook invested for him in government securities.
He was not a slovenly man, but he bought cheap
Clothes and cared little whether they fitted him
or not. After he came to Washington Mrs.
Lincoln used to see that he was always present
able, but he often rebeled and regarded white
kid gloves unmitigated nuisance. While
clothes to Mr.. Lincoln were only something TO
cover him, he only ate because IL was duty, and
did not know what was good to eat any more
than he did what was good to wear. He never
drank intoxicating liquors nor used tobacco in
any form. Neither did he know how to play
any game respectfully we'll. His Illinois friends
said that it was as good a circus to see him
play game of billiards. While he occasionally
told stories that were ''of color" no one ever
charged him with immoral act, and the most
accomplished sirens of the Capitol failed in their
attemps to beguile him.

Sir Julius Benedict's Activity.

London Truth.
Benedict worked very hard slept and ate very
little, and was always about. l think he slept
standing on one leg against the wall in crowded
drawingrooms. more than anywhere else He
had the faculty of carrying long converse
tons when more than half asleep. He smiled
patiently at whatever was said, and replied with
he seldom heard what you said to him in society,
and was certainly never influenced by it. He
used--atterly at all events-to play his accom-
paniments half asleep, and nearly as we'll as
when awake which, to my mind. is not saying
very much; for, although Benedict in his better
days could accompany very well when he chose,
in his latter days he did not always choose,
awake or asleep. He had many amiable quail
ties and many friends He believed himself to
be a great composer, and he was never thorough
ly happy in the company of those who thought
otherwise.

He Forgot a Little Formally.

ID
A wellknown gentleman of this city, who
holds public Office of considerable Importance
tive of emoluments, is victim of defective
memory. He lately spent some time in New
York, and while there, in furtherance of polit-
cal or some other end, arranged to give an elab-
crate dinner to numerous and distinguished
company. The appointed evening arrived, the
collation., an elegant one, was all ready to be
served, but the guests came not. Half an hour
passed, and still they did not come, and the host
became really uneasy. When the delay had
grown to an hour and not man of them had
shown up, his feeling were indescribable. And
who can picture his agony of spirit when, on re-
turning to his hotel ROOM he CHANGED to phil
open drawer, and therein found the whole
bundle of invitations which he had forgotten to
send out

enthusiastic supporter of Pears's soap; and this
young painter has very profound belief in
himself, and his own charms, and his own
genius, and above all, in his power of captivat
ing the hearts of the fair. The other evening
our young painter found himself dining at
friends house. next to a very attractive young
lady. whom he promptly endeavored to impress
much possible. After telling her all about
himself and his pictures, and his talents, he
finally informed her that he should never marry.
why notF inquired his fair companion. 'If
did marry" the young painter replied, II should
make so many women unhappy Il should
have thought you would only make one woman
ment, which reduced that long haired egotist to
silence. He does not like that girl now, and
avoids her when they meet.
