GAIETY. There are two kinds of
gaiety. The one arises from want
of heart, being touched by no pity,
sympathizing with no pain, even of
its own causing; 1t shines and
glitters like a frost-bound river in
the cleaning sun. The other springs
from excess of heart-that is, heart
overlooking with kindliness toward
all men and all things. and suffering
under no superadded grief; it is light
from the happiness which it causes
from the happiness which it sees
This may be compared to the placid
river, sparkling and smiling under
the sun of summer, and running or
to give fertility and increase to al
within and even to many beyond it
reach.

THE LAWYER.

Who takes to law
Must have Il Jaw
AS long rs Balaam's ASS;
And plenteOus store
or Latin lore
To interlard his gas
A tongue as long
And nerve as strong
AS our Atlantic cable
Bold to combat,
Give " tit for tat"
And seeming reasonable.
Abundant brass,
Unboundcd sass,
Hold ever in possession,
(FOr modest mien
Is seldom seen
Engaged in that prOfeSsion.)
He must he trained
To be ordained
When ere he thinks it proper,
Nor hesitate
To deviatc,"
Or tell downright whOppcr.o
From year to year
Tic lnuSI appear
With Coke and Kent and Blackstone
And from the Code
Take on load
To test the strength of backbone.
So now, my friend,
GOu comprehend
a man may make SAWYER,
But lacking these
Rare qualities,
Will never make a lawyer.

JEALoUsY.-Jealousy is feeling
that is common to every mans
heart. 1t takes hold of the sacred
affections and tears them to shreds.
1t causes strife where love should
prevail. 1t turns the heart of man
into a raging fire, seeking to burst
forth and devOur even the object of
its love. 1t causes man to hate
his brother and wish, if not seek his
destruction. 1t makes desolation
where once grew the flowers and the
fruits of happiness and, prosperity.
How we should seek to crush it in
its incipiency and suffer it to gain no
hold upon our natures.

ANIMALS THAT SUFFER SEASICK-
NESS.-Human beings are not the
only ones that suffer from seasick.
ness, by all means. One hears good
deal about pangS that have filed the
men and women with woe, but little
is said Of the mcnageries brought to
America every year, or carried
hither and yOn in wave-tosssd
boats.
Lions and tigers may be majestic
when they have unwavering earth
or rock against their paws, but a sea-
SICK cat Of these tribes is as fOrlOrn as
any man ever was, and doesn't look
bit more kingly than wet rabbit
Even its rOars and growls have a
weeping sound in them, quite in
keeping with the general appearance
Of the beast.
a monkey is as pitiable an object
when it is seasick as any other beast
so stricken, and its forlOrn facial eX-
preston is so human-like, and the
way il clasps its paws across its stom-
ach is so natural, that the man who
Is not seaSick necessarily sees some
thing to laugh at i'm the misery of the
creature. Not so with the seasick
man. lie is sure to get very mad,
thinking the poor thing is mocking
him.
1t takes dog to he wOeful at sea.
1t has a way Of doubling all up with
its tail between its legs, and its head
hanging down, that shows deep
seated pain. TO free itself the dog
goes through all sorts of cOntortions.
1t will stretch out on the deck, grOan
AID squeal, sometimes rising on its
launches and lifting its head and
bowling long and miserably, as some
dogs do at the sound of music.

SLANG.-The really amusing fea-
ture OF slang, according to writer
in the Illustrated dmericdn, is not
the expressing itself so much as the
delicate and fanciful application of it
made by skilful hands. Dontcher
know" has been established so ex
tensively and generally that the
listeners ear takes no more notice
Of it than of punctuation mark.
Nevertheless, it is an irritation TO
hear it constantly repeated. "You
understand me, you see what |
mean ?" thrown in at the end of
every sentence, even though the con
versation may be about the simplest
matter, causes a nervOusiy intelligent
auditor to feel that he is being mis-.
taken for an imbecile. To ask man
with special emphasis if he under
stands, when the subject before him
could be understood by child of
two, borders on insult.
The good-humored, pachydermous
speaker has no appreciation OF the
irritation he is causing, nor of the
keen sarcasm of the reply he elicits.
Slang seems to be the natural mode
of expression for the boy at school
and college. From him it spreads
to his sisters, and not to know the
meaning Of all the complicated and
arbitrary terms argues ones self out
of the world of youth. To be in
sympathy with il, one must have at
least bowing.acquaintance with this
strange and ephermal language.

A REPUTATION FOR FORAGING.-
During the rebellion, the Nineteenth

foraging the country so thoroughly,

Cost OF \ GREAT HOUSEHOLD
The cost Of supporting a great house
household now, as compared with
two hundred years ago, is somewhat
interesting. In 100 the mainte-
nance and wages of thirty six people
employed in the family of a French
nobleman only amounted to eight
hundred dollars per annum. This
number included chaplain, secre-
tary, matre d'hOtel, and steward, to
each of whom was assigned valet
exclusively devoted to his service.
The expenses of the members of the
family are somewhat larger. No
economy was practised, and the
meals were elaborate. In addition
to poultry and game, three roasts
were served daily, as we'll as soups,
entrees. salads, entremets, desserts
and fruits. The cost of these were
twenty-five hundred dollars q year.
What with the pay of the domestics
and other officers of the household,
food, entertainments, clothing, and
the keep of sixteen horses, the ex.
penses of family as described,
amounted to less than ten thousand
dollars. AS money was worth about
five times as much then as now, the
cost Of housekeeping then was not sc
much less than now as some persons
| imagine.

FOOLED BY a TENDERFOOT. .-Ac.
cording to resident of Cheyenne,
who talked with a Washington Star
reporter, certain residents of La
ramie are now convinced that somc
Eastern men know how to shoot. To
use the Cheyenne mans words. jt
happened in this manner 4" A finely
dressed young man stepped into a
saloon to get drink, where a lot of
cowboys were having good time.
The sight Of the tcuderfoot was a
signal for some fun, and half q dozen
pistols were drawn just to scare the
man from the States. The stranger
wore silk hat, and the cry went up
shoot the tile.' The man turned
with his glass at his lips, and with
out tremor drew pistol from his
coat pocket. BY the time the drink
was swallowed six pistols lay on the
floor; he had shot every one of them
out of their owners hands. They
crowded around him, and the tender
foot was not allowed to pay for any
thing that night"

Jarndyce."
The other at once looked thought
ful, and pretty soon pleading, an
engagement, went off. The next
morning he came into the younger
mans office with an air of great vexa-
ton.
Look here !" he said. " Why can't
you remember names accurately?
Here Pve spent the whole night
trying to find that case of Jarndyce
y. Jarndyce that you mentioned, and
there isn't any such case in the Penn
