Unshaved Too.

The following circumstance happened in one of the towns of Ireland. A man had been drinking until later hour at night before he started for home Hon. est folk had been long in bed, and the houses were all shut and dark. The liquor he had taken was too much for him. He did not know where to go.
 He at last staggered into an empty wagon shed and fell upon the ground. For long time he lay in the uncon- sciousness ef drunken sleep and would have undoubtedly been frozen to death (for the snow on the ground showed the night to be very cold) had not others less insensible been near him.
 This shed was a favorite rendezvous for the pigs, which rushed out when the newcomer arrived, but soon returned to their bed. In the utmost kindness and truest hospitality, they gave their biped companion the middle of the bed.
 Toward morning he awoke, and, find ing himself comfortable and in blissful ignorance of his whereaboutS he sup posed himself enjoying the accommoda- tion of tavern, ill company with other gentlemen. He reached out his hand, and, catching hold of the stiff bristles of hog, exclaimed:
 "Why, misteri When did you shave yourself last?''-Pearson's Weekly.

American Brevity.

A rich American, according to the following anecdote, related in Good Words by the Rev. Donald Macleod, D. D., presented himself one day at the studio of Sir John Millais, and, with out preamble, began at once to speak.
 "Sir," he said, ''I wish to take a present back to my wife. She says she would like to have my portrait painted by the very best artist in the country. I have been told that you are the man. When can have sitting?"
 1T am at present very busy" said Millais.
 "So am l." was the reply.
 ''But am very expensive artist"
 ''How much do you charger"
 A large price was named.
 "Shall give you check now?"
 "Not at all, " said Millais "Imerely mentioned it to prevent misunderstood ings."
 "How many sittings do you requires"
 ''Five or six at the least" '"
 ''f you can do it in fewer, so much the better, for am very busy man and my time is valuable.
 Millais enjoyed the manner in which his own plea of being busy had been met and agreed to paint him.

Laying a Ghost In Siberia.

MT. George Kennan tells Siberian ghost story in St. Nicholas. After de- scribing the first visitation of the mys- terious ghost Git afterward proved to be a half starved dog) Mir. Kennan says: For two or three days after this, Yegor took refuge at night in the house of a neighboring friend and left me to tackle the ghost alone, but neither in the gar ret nor in the kitchen did I hear the faintest sound to indicate that the mys- terious somebody who walked in dark ness and left no tracks was abroad. Meantime, however, the news that ghost had appeared to Yegor in the barin's kitchen, and that even the skep- tical barin himself had heard the "un- clean spirit" pacing the floor of the gar ret at midnight, spread to every house in the village, and the next Sunday aft ernoon who should appear at my door but Russian priest, dressed in all his robes and followed by one of the church choir boys, with basin of water and a small bundle of long, flexible twigs.
 The reverend father came in swinging n CSuSSl duu a selection from the old Slavonic psalter. He marched solemnly around the entry, the kitchen and the sitting room, fumi gating every nook and corner where a ghost might turk, and then took the basin and the brush of twigs and sprin- kled the whole house with water after the manner of the Greek church. Hay ing thus performed his official duty, he greeted me courteously, apologized for the intrusion and said that it was his custom to conduct a ceremony of that kind once year in every house in the village. I was not, of course, member of his church. But he had taken the lib erty, he said, of coming to my house be- cause there were reports in circulation that mysterious noises had been heard in it, and the minds of his parishioners were disturbed.

The Bank of France.

There is one institution in France which has hitherto contrived to with stand all the numerous and revolution ary changes of government-namely, the Bank of France, which owes its ori- gin to the first Napoleon. The question as to the renewal of its charter came up recently for discussion in the legis- lature, which voted its prolongation. Since the foundation of the bank it has had but ten governors, while France has during the same period of time had no less than 9 different regimes and considerably over 100 cabinets

Merit in medicine means the power to cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses actual and unequalled curative power and there
 fore it has true merit.

The power to cure is there. You are not trying an experiment. It will make your blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus drive out the germs of disease, strengthen the nerves and build up the whole system.

Temptation

There are two or three forms of temp tation to which the legal profession is especially subject. The first of all is skepticism. Controversy is the lifetime business of that occupation. Controver- sy may be incidental or accidental with us, but with you it is perpetual. You get so used to pushing the sharp ques
 tion "Why9" and making unaided req son superior to the emotions that the religion of Jesus Christ, which is a simple matter of faith, and above hu- man reason, although not contrary to it, has but little chance with some of you. A brilliant orator wrote book, on the first page of which he announced this sentiment, "An honest God is the noblest work of man." Skepticism is the mightiest temptation of the legal profession, and that man who can stand in that profession, resisting all solicita- tions to infidelity, and can be as brave as George Briggs of Massachusetts, who stenped from the Rubernatorial chair to

 Lord Ashburton and Mr. Wallace were leading barristers in their day. They died about the same time. A few months before their decease they happened to be in the same hotel in a village, the one counsel going to Devonshire, the other going to London. They had both been seized upon by disease which they knew would be fatal, and they re- quested that they be carried into the same room and laid down on sofas, side by side, that they might talk over old times and talk over the future. So they were carried in, and, lying there on op- posite sofas, they talked over their old contests at the bar, and then they talked of the future world, upon which they must soon enter. It was said to have been a very affecting and solemn interview between MT. Wallace and Lord Ashburton. My subject today puts you side by side with those men in your profession who have departed this life,
