A Queer Story.

A oity merchant onoe caused his
friends much sorrow by disappear
ing in q strange fashion. He was
last heard of at his banker where
he deposited nearly $4,000 to his
bank account. His subsequent where
abouts were envoloped in mystery,
and years elapsed without any ex-
PLANTATION being forthcoming. Ten
years later his wife was driving
through west end district when
she recognized in the figure of a
crossing sweeper some semblance to
that of her husband. She immedl-
ately stopped her carriage and found
that tho sweeper was indeed her
missing husband. He was inclined
to resent her persuasion to return to
his home, but eventually succumb-
ed. He aftcrward explained that he
had amassed sufficient money to
keep his family in comfort, and, tor
monted by the fear that he might
be induced to speculate and lose tho
whole, he determined to disappear
and laayo them to its enjoyment.
Ho had lived in common lodging
houses, and was content in his
adopted business of q crossing sweep
or. Often he had seen his wife pass
him, and he had received many cop
pers and small pieces of silver from
his family.-London Letter.

~. 5o,,nson,s Compliments.

Dr. johnson, although he prided
himself on his good breeding, was
often overbearing, would sometimes
break out with ungovernable fury,
astonishing, as it has been observed,
"tho we'll regulated minds of re-
spectacle ladies and gentlemen.
That he should have found solace ID
female society is not surprising, but
that women should have been SO
fond of his may be thought curious,
for he never spared them and fre-
ouently expressed something like
contempt for their intellectual ca
pacity. Ho declared that they were
the slaves of fashion, and made 9th
er comments by no means polite to
the sex. But johnson didnot always
mean what he said, and when it
pleased him no man could pay q COM
pliment moro gracefully.
Nothing can be moro happy than
his saying to Mrs. Siddons, when for
the moment he had no chair to offer
her, Madam, you who SO often oc-
casion want Of seats to other peo-
pie will more easily excuse the want
of one yourself, I" or his compliment,
though wo may suspect its truthful
ness, to Mrs. Sheridan on her me
moirs of Miss Sydney Biddulph'
81 know not, madam, that you have
a right, upon moral principles, to
make your readers suffer so much. "
Dearly did he like y iittlo fattery
in return, and when in his old ago
he heard the opinion Of countess
that to be praised by DR.. johnson
"would make one fool all his life, y
he said: "I am too old to be made q
fool, but if you say am madea fool
I shall not deny it. I am much
pleased with compliment, especial
ly from pretty woman. London

A friend of mine had written g.

North British weekly. AS that pa
per has long ceased to e1ist-at least
updor its then form-I am not yio-
latiny confidence by stating that it's

and that the editor did not care fer
stories which exceeded the measure
OF six columns; also he liked to
print tho principal story or tho mid
die page of tho paper, so that the
whole of it came under the eye at
glance. My friends story had tragic
catastrophe, which did not occupy
very much space in tho telling, but,
nevertheless, overlapped the appoint

run into shilling or two on the
other side--not to mention interfer

morsslessly out away the whole OF
the unfortunate hero's dying mo-

Oak Wood.

Though generally assumed that
oak is the wood capable of being put
to the greatest variety of uses, it is
known, as matter of fact, that the
pine is really the most used, on ac
count of its great abundance. Never
theless, tho timber of the oak COM
bines in itself the essential clements
of strength and durability, hardness
and elasticity, in degree which no
other tree can boast-unrivaled as q
material for shipbuilding, also supe-
rior in architecture, cabinet making,
carving, uill work, cooperage and
innumerahle other purposes, while
the bark is of great valueas furnish
ing tan and yielding a bitter extract
in continual demand for medicinal
purposes. But OF uses for the pine,
details would be we'll nigh endless.
The timber is invaluable in houses
and ship carpentry; common tur-
pentine is extracted from it in vast
quantities and immense supplies Of
tar, pitch, rosin and lampblack. In
the manufacture of lucifer matches,
and, above all, paper pulp, thousands
and tens of thousands of acres Of
pine forests are cut down every year,
and, briefly, the timber of this tree,
constituting as it does the chief ma
terial of English and American build
ers, may be said to be more used
than all other kinds of wood put to.

return. In tho course of week a
neighbor said, II see that your dog
is up at the poorhouse. On inquiry
it was learned that Sanoho, having

kindly received, had continued on as
"a guest. And evor after, although he
sometimes mado brief call at his
old home, ho lived at the town farm,
and there peacefully ended his dog's
