The Last of His Race.

A good story is told about a pnrse-
proud old nobleman who was travelling
through the rural districts OF Sweden
Over in that country the people do not
have quite as much respect for the tilted
aristocracy as in some other localities
on the continent. One day this noble
man came rolling up to a country tav
ern, and as he stopped his carriage, be
called out in an imperious tone:
"Horses, Landlord; horses here at
once"
81 am very much pained to inform
you, my lord, that You will have to wait
sometime over an hour before fresh hor
ses can be brought in," replied the land
lord.
"How!" violently exclaimed the no.
bleman, "this to me3 My man, de.
mand horses at once"
Then, observing the fresh and sleek
looking horses which we're being led up
to another carriage, he said:
"For whom are those horses ?"
"They were ordered for this gentle.

to tall slim individual few PAGES dis

II say, my man," called out the no
bleman TO the slim gentleman, "will you

"Not much," answered the slim gen.
lleman, IL intend to use them myself"
"This to mer' exclaimed the noble.
man.
.Thats what l said," replied the slim
man.
"Perhaps you are not aware who
am 2" roared the now thoroughly agi,a-
ted and irate nobleman. Il am, sir,
Field Marshal Baron George Spare, the
last and only one OF my race"
81 am very glad to hear that" said
the slim man, stepping into bis carriage

On the lnstallment Plan.

A down East clergyman has bit upon
doubtful Improvement, which be calls
"marrying upon the installment plan
An impecunious Young man got credit
for the wedding fee, aud actually paid
one dollar week for f7e weeks until tie
debt was cancelled. Five weeks is o
long time for man to burden his con.
science with an obligation OF that char
acter. II the Zee had been larger or the
ratio of payments smaller, the person
would have bad occasion to regret bis
experiment. OF course there is temp
tation for clergymen to extend their mat
rimonial connection by all means, but
spot cash is still the safe rule for this
line of clerical work.
