How Lord Give Won His wife.


About the middle OF the last century a
young cadet named Maskeleyne went to
India, where he became acquainted with
Lord Give, The acquaintance ripened
into intimate friendship and led to con-
slant association. There hung up in
MaskeleyHe's room several portraits,
amoAg others miniature which attracted
Gives frequent attention. One day
after tie English mail had arrived Give
asked 1laskeleyne if he had received any
English letters. adding: I'VE have been
very much misunderstood at home and
much censured in English circles"
Maskeleyne replied that he had. and read
TO his friend "A letter he then held in his
hand.
A day or two afterward Give came
back to ask to have the letter read to
him again. "Who is the writer in
quired Give. my sister. was the re-
ply; my sister. whose miniature hangs
there. " ''lsit faithful representation"
further asked Give. 1T is" replied
Maskeleyne, "of her face and form. but
it is unequal to represent the excellence
Of her mind and character. We'll,
Maskeleyne,' said Give, taking him by
the hand, you know Inc well, and can
speak of me as | really am. Do you
think that girl would be induced TO come
TO India and marry me! In the present
state of affairs dare not hope TO be able
n go TO England Maskeleyne wrote
home, and So recommended Gives suit
that the lady acquiesced, went to India,
and in 1853 was married at Madras to
Give, then rising to the highest distinc-
ton. n.-Chicago Times.

Il is um0red that an association is TO
be formed by several Of the aucrioneers,
the purpose Of which is % encourage the
flow Of oratory and descriptive power
among these siaughterers Of goods, wares
and merchandise, public and private. IL
Is felt that something must be done so
that business may be more equally dis
uibuted among this brotherhood. No
name has yet been decided upon for the
association, though il is rumored il has
been suggested that it should be called
the Auctioneer School of Oratory. A
meeting, it is also rumored. was held re-
Gently, at which various plans Of organi-
zation were considered, the matter being
finally left in the hands Of a committee
TO prepare and submit constitution and
bylaws at a future meeting. Some Of
the ideas promulgated were interesting,
and showed that many Of tie auctioneers
are anxious to rid the craft # the monot-
onous system Of selling now commonly
in vogue.

One day Matthew Byles, the old parson'
with a very long face anne into the room
where his family was sitting and said: Il
am tired of life and l must pnt an end 10
myself" Saying this, he Immediately lett
the room and went into his study ana
locked the door behind him. OF course
the family were struck dumb with aston-
ishment and terror. What were they 10
io? Father was certainly going to com
nit suicide. After q little thought they
decided to break the door open. BY the
combined efforts of the whole family the
lock was torn asunder, and what do you
suppose met their astonished gaze. Fhefs,
careering up and down the room, was the
old doctor with a cows tail fastened TO
tail Of his ministerial frock. The old cier-
lyman had certainly put an end to himself

week, and there seems to he a brighter
tone 10 the market. A fair business is be
ing done, and though with few exceptions
no advance il obtained by dealers over
prices Tnling a month ago, the position OF
the market is stronger, ana holders refuse
10 part with their woods at concessions
from asking prices. Manufacturers stoutly
resist any attempt at an advance, but,
when in need of wool, are willing to opeI-
ate on the basis Of quotations. Prices re-
main unchanged, and are as follows:
