The ORIGINAL Organ Grinder.

When barrel organs once the usual
accompaniment Of the magic lantern,
came into use, native Of the province
of Tende was one Of the first who trav.
eled about Europe with this instrument
In his peregrinations he collected
money enough to enable him to purchase
from the king of Sardinia the title OF
count Of the country where he was born
for which, probably, in time Of war
he did not pay above 1000 guineas.
With the remainder Of his money he
purchased an estate suitable to his rank
and settled himself peaceably for the
remainder of his days in his mansion.
In the entrance hall of his dwelling
he hung up his magic lantern and his
organ facing the door, there to be care
fully preserved till they moldered to
dust, and he ordered by his will that
any one Of his descendants who should
cause them to be removed should forfeit
his Inheritance and his patrimony revert
to the next heir, or, in failure Of o sue
cessor, to the hospital of Tende.
Only few years ago the organ and
lantern were still to be seen carefully
preserved. Pearson Weekly.

A PROTEST.

One of those Armenian peddlers OF
whom you may have heard and possibly
may have seen, was housed with u.
through the storm. They stop with us
quite frequently. Our house seems ia
be the neighborhood's dumping-ground
With mothers weight of more than
fourscore years 1t does seem just little
bit selfish for those who are In the high
tide and full flush of their years to send
them here to be waited upon and cared
for. They come often enough without
being sent. Please make some different
arrangement hereafter. We are willing
to have our share, but kick against being
made a scspegoat for any ones inhos-
pltality. We have failed to arrive at
that state of hsrdyess when We would
refuse shelter to dog In such q storm.
