A miserable old Judge in Massa-
chusetts was greatly worried because
one of his tenants, an Irishman, had
failed to pay his rent. The tenant
had a large fat pig but the Judge
could not attach it because the law
exempted poor mans solitary pig.
So the judge scratched around and
bought little, stunted. razor-backed
pig and presented it to the tenant
who was very grateful to the land
lord for his thoughtful kindness.
But the Irishman now had two pigs
and only one was exempt. The next
day the judge attached the large, fat
pig.

The wording of an advertisement is
in some sense literary accomplish,
ment; tor it is necessary to use terse
and definite expressions, which shall
at the same time be pleasing to the
reader, whose chief attention is to be
directed to certain special advantage
in the commodity offered or the
scheme proposed. It must also be
considered that to word an advertise
ment effectively we must know what
has been said in the announcement
made by others; and must be able to
display some originality or to ''snatch
a grace beyond the reach of art" by
some telling or piquant phrase which
will dwell in the mind Of the reader
whose eye has been attracted by it.
We may go further still and remark
that to word an advertisement effec-
lively it is necessary to see clearly
the principal end in view and to make
the whole composition sub3ervient to
it. Loosely or ambiguously worded
announcements are of little worth,
and are sometimes actually miSchiev-
Gus; and it is quite possible that the
wording may be accurate, the inten-
ton obvious, and yet that 1.-The way
of putting it, may be such as to de.
feat the desired object, or, at all
events, to delay it.-Ex.

Old Commodore Vanderbilt.

Commodore Vanderbilt made $780,
100000, beginning with no money and
very little education. He could write
his name, and that was about the ex.
tent of his scholastic requirements.
His name, which was good for any
amount on q check, was not much to
look at. He could not pronounce the
letter V, and always called himself
Vanderbilt. A new clerk at the post
Office greatly annoyed him by looking
for his letters under the WIS. Don't
look among the VS.; look among the
Wees" said the millionaire. At the
age OF eighty, the commodore was a
match for the whole street. He opened
all his own letters, dictated his an
swers on the margins; spent an hour in
transacting business involving many
millions, and then went to his stables.
He was very proud Of his horses, and
liked to lead the road-and he gsner-
ally did.-N. Y. Letter.

An Hair-Breadth Escape.

On the last day of the year, while
hunting for my New Years dinner, an
adventure befell me which nearly
closed my days with the dying year. l
had brought down buffalo. and think
ing it disabled and helpless, proceeded
to make sure of my spoil. l had al
most reached it before it seemed aware
of my presence, when, with a grunt of
vengeful significance it was on it's feet.
Instinctively turned and fed, pre-
senting my rear to its inevitable on
siaught. A few seconds and its horn
caught me in the hip, penetrated sew
eral inches, just grazing the femoral
artery, and sending me twirling over
head like bolt from a catap ult. In
my fall I got couple of ribs broken,
and thus lay stunned and helpless. l
was aware, however, OF its approach to
finish me off, and closed my eyes
thinking my days were numbered.
Some seconds passed, and was still
alive. Opening my eyes, l found the
brute lying dead beside me, and then
tainted away from loss of blood.-JO-
seph Thomson, in Scribner.

THE EVERLASTING HILLS.

The everlasting hills! they hedge me round
And hold me safe within this narrow vale.
From all the worlds great turmoil not a sound
Doth penetrate these silences profound.
All, life is paradise in this fair vale!
At morning all the east CLOVIS livid red
And all the hills reflect the rosy light
At sunset warm and mellow rays are shed
Adown the valley, while the mountain head
Stands for moment bathe,. IN glory bright
Then, liho being pure and fair as snow.
The full moon rises grandly DER the hills,
And mountains zenithward, serene and slow,
She pours flood of light on all below
And views her face in myriad mountain rills
All, this is peace to live at natures side,
To walk with her at morn and noon and eve
To wander free with nature for guide,
To drift and dream upon life's quiet tide,
To find from worldly care u sweet reprieve.
