ABOUT BORROWING.

An Evil Practice Which Does Not Deserve
the Least Encouragement.
l read this inscription in a wagon
shop the other day: Il neither bor-
row nor lend tools" L don't know
whether borrower and lender is most
to be pitied. The man who lends runs
the risk of losing tools, or having them
injured, or of wanting them during their
absence. But he may get them back
all right, especially if reputed to be
cross and grabbed enough to resent an
injury. But the man who borrows
makes certain loss of time, and in
greater or less degree of self-respect,
and he makes himself liable to lend in
return things more valuable than he
borrows. In Arkansas / staid over
night with q man who keeps q good
assortment of tools. In the morning a
neighbor rode up and said: There is
your auger; was very busy and didn't
bring it back as soon as meant to-"
When the borrower was gone I asked
how far he lived from there. "a mile
and quarter" was the reply. In
borrowing and returning the auger he
had travelled five miles; it was an inch
anger, worth about seventy-five cents.
The habit OF borrowing naturally leads
to slackness in returning; good-natured
lenders often suffer serious nconven-
fence. Every householder ought to
keep an assortment of tools, farmers
quite a full assortment, and they ought
to be taught in youth how to use them.
Saws, augers, bits, chisels, planes.
three or four each, monkey-wrench,
drawshave, vice, ETC., ought to be
owned by every farmer. Then he can
make and mend many things in less
time than he would spend getting the
work done at the shop. If he is level
headed he will at odd times make a
great many conyeniences for the
family and keep things in good repair.

1t is only in southern ATTITUDES
that figs can be grown successfully, and
in the South it is said the quality can
be greatly improved by growing them
under glass. Fig trees are so tender
and prone to an early decay that they
can not be shipped to points as far
north as St. Louis. We have never
seen them in ST. Louis market, but have
seen them in Shaw's garden, the trees
being protected from frosts during the
wintery months. Persons from the
North do not greatly admire the taste
Of ripe figs. It usually takes time and
practice to cultivate taste for them.

America for the Poor Man,

To begin with, the humber kind OF
work is better paid in America than
with US, the higher kind worse. The
official, for instance, gets less, his
of8ce-keeper gets more. The public
ways are abominably cut up by rails
and blocked with horse-cars; but the in
convenience is for those who use pri,
vate carriages and cabs; the con-
venience is for the bulk of the con-.
munity who, but for the horse-cars,
would have to walk. The ordinary
railway cars are not delightful, but
they are cheap, and they are better
furnished, and in winter are warmer
than third-class carriages in England.
Luxuries are, as have said, very dear
above all, European luxuries; but a
working-man's clothing is nearly a.
cheap as in England, and plain food is
on the whole cheaper. Even luxuries
of certain kind are within labor
ing-man's easy reach. I have men,
toned ice, will mention fruit also.
The abundance and cheapness of fruit
is a great boon to people of small in
comes in America.-Matthev arnold.

CHAPTER ".
Before two weeks had passed yeroni-
ca was quite at home at Queens Chace.
Lady Brandon, who had at first been
inclined to look upon the whole matter
rs a misfortune, now began TO think
otherwise. She thought to herself that
the next season she would be more
popular than ever. She would be
mother OF one of the fairest blondes
and chaperon Of one of the most beau
tiful brunettes. She saw that the two
girls would never be rivals, their style
differed SO greatly, and she began to
take great interest in Veronica. She
went to her husband and told him that
she must have carte blanche for Veron-
ica's wardrobe.
at is all very well, said her lady
ship, "to look Ike a picture; but
dressing like one is quite a different
matter. Your ward must dress like
other people, Sir Jasper. suppose she
can have what money she likes ?''
Certainly" replied Sir Jasper; "She
is an heiress, l have told you She
must be treated as one ;" and soon af-
terward he placed in her hands a check
for three hundred pounds We can
arrange later on, ;" he added, about her
yearly allowance present, purchase
for her everything that she requires"
Her wants are legion" said Lady
Brandon "she has literally nothing,
except few picturesque old dresses
that would look very nice in an old curl
osity shop"
Lady Brandon set to work at once.
She knew too well the effect of dress to
offer to transform Veronica into a FASH
ionable English Lady. Everything she
purchased was made after some pictur-
esque Venetian fashion, and Sir Jasper
was pleased when he saw it.
"Iou have preserved the unities" he
said to his wife with one Of those rare
smiles that 50 altered the expression Of
his face.
As lOf eIOnlca nerSell, she could
not understand such attention.
Gan this for me r she cried. when
she saw the lace, the silks, the veIvets,
the thousand little elegancies that make
up a lady's toilet-fans and slippers,
gloves and sunshades
Then Sir Jasper brought her some
superb jewel5-a set of rubies that suit
ed her dark loveliness, a set OF corals
and suite OF diamonds. The girl
raised her wondering face to his when
he showed them to her
"Why do you do all this for me? ?''
she asked. r
He looked down at her She was
looking at him with dead Giulias love-
lit eyes.
"Why he repeated. Because I
am your guardian. You viii know
more some day
She took his hand and kissed it in
her strange, impulsive fashion.
'You are very good to me, and am
very grateful" she said.
But it seemed to him that Giulia's
lips had touched him. He shrunk
back, pale and trembling.

a CHAMPION LIE.
A WILD story whfteI from the shores
of Cathey.

We have observed several wonderful
stories OF late respecting the skill OF the
Chinese cXeCutIOncTs, who, it is said can
strike Of the heads OF their victims So
sk!liuliy that the poor fellows them
selves never discover their loss until a
moment or two alter they are dead. We
recall to mind, however, the story Of a
German eXCCutioner who tar surpassed
the Chinese in professional dexterity-
Upon an occasion ii happened that n
criminal who was condemned TO death
had a singular itching to play at nine
pins, and he implored permission TO play
once more Al his iavor,te game before he
died. Then, he said, he would submit to
his late without a murmur. The judge,
thinking there could be no harm in
humoring him, granted his last ,,ravay
and upon arriving at the place OF extcu,
ton he found everything prepared for
the game, the pins being set up and the
.,H'' .,s>~'- AL ready. lie commenced his
favorite sport With enthusiasm, After
awhile the sheriff, observing that h5
showed no inclination to desist, made a
sign 10 the eNecutioner TO strike the fatal
blow while he stopped for a bowl. The
eXecutioner did 80, but with such ex-
quisite dexterity that the culp,it did
not notice or feel it. He thought in
deed, that cold breath of air was blow
ing on his neck, and drawing himself
back with shrug. his head dropped for
ward into his hands. lie naturally sup
posed that ii Was Z bowl which he had
