THE END.



For several years there has been a col
ored shoemaker on School street. He
has owned his little shop. which is big
enough for about four people to stand in
without noticeable iiscomfort. He il u
good looking young fellow, and there isn't
anything remarkable about him at first
sight. He has very good trade for q
small place, and his income is sufficient
to enable him to live comfortably Il
you go into his shop any time Of the day
between z o'clock in the morning and .
o'clock in the afternoon you will find him
seated on little stool with a leather
apron on. His sleeves will be rolled up,
and he will be pegging away for dear
life.
II you % into the place at O'Clock
and wait a few minutes, you will pres
emily behold as novel d spectacle as may
be witnessed in the city anywhere. You
will see that a gorgeous light overcoat
has been hanging on a peg in the wall
in corner Of the shop, and that q pain
Of flashing patent leather shoes have
been reposing in the same corner on the
floor, and that near by big silver
knobbed walking stick has been stand
ing, while ON a little shelf has been rest
ing a glossy silk hat. When this young
mans work is done in the evening lie
doffs his leather apron and attires him
self in his swell apparel.
He may be seen on Washington street
in the neighborhood of the Adams House
an hour later, silk hat, patent feathers,
spring overcoat, silver knobbed cane and
all. He goes to his shop iii this dress IN
the morning and leaves it similarly gar.
mented in the evening. He moves in
the SWEETEST colored society Of the city,
and is looked on by his acquaintance as
a person Of quality. Yet he makes no
disguise Of his business. Boston Cor.

meeril IN Grnin.

Where building can be closed air
tight, weevils infesting it can be de-
stroyed by using bisulphide Of carbon,
but as farmers cornhouses are ordinarily
constructed this usually will be found
impracticable. On account Of its in
f1ammabiity, it must always be handled
with great caution. Weeyil in grain
may be destroyed by putting it into air
tight bins or casks that can be closely
covered and setting a saucer containing
little bisulphide Of carbon on top Of
the grain. The vapor, if confined, will
descend through the grain to the bot
tom of the bin or cask and be fatal to the
insects. Exposed to the atmosphere it
il soon -dissipated, but it must not be
used in the vicinity Of fire. The best
preventives against this insect are clean
illness of the storage room, light and air.

Burns, with whom Bell had had fight
when they were boys Of nineteen-that
was three years before the war. Bell
supposed that the quarrel was forgotten,
for he had frequently met Burns after
ward, both before and during the war,
without having it alluded to. But Oh
this occasion Burns was drunk.
Bell was very abstemious-fo noun

ter saloon, or some place where liquor
was secretly sold. Burns came in soon
after, with = pistol in his belt and mur-

facing each other with pistols. Burns
was shot through the shoulder and Bell

eral debility followed him from the army,
