Brushing the Peas.

It was a rosy-cheeked but pale-eyed
young man who applied to Mr.. Powers
for the vacant position of assistant
gardener. The master Of the place
questioned him at some length as to
his qualifications.
'Do you know much about the care
Of flowers? Have you had expert
ence?" he asked
"I've never been out to work" said
the young man, "but know all about
'em-fowers. Oh, yes, can take care
Of 'em all right. Geraniums and mas
turtiums and-all Of 'em. Oh, you can
trust me, sir"
-:@Then go down that path to your
right" said Mr.. Powers. when you
reach the flower garden you'll see that
the sweet peas need brushing; let me
see how we'll you can do it."
The would-be gardener went as he
was hidden. In less than ten minutes
he reappeared, to interrupt his employ
er, then deep in book on the piazza.
Excuse me, sir" said the young
man, jauntily, 'but If you'll come now,
I think you'll find I've brushed those
peas enough. There was hardly any
dust on them, anyway. OF course If
you want me to keep on 1 can, but 1t
looks to me like waste Of time"

A Poor Compliment.

"People don't often insult you when
they mean to be gracious" said an
artist the other day. Insults are the
creations Of Ill nature, and not mere
matters of words. But l had an ex-
perience to-day that made me laugh
and yet irritated me-"
Somebody take one Of your snow
scenes for a spring landscape" in
quired an amiable friend.
NO." replied the artist, 'this was not
matter Of professional pride. A
tradesman sent me a bill in which he
unintentionally charged me only about
a third of what 1 owed him."
Thought he stood better chance
of getting it, 1 suppose" interrupted
the facetious friend.
"Now hold on, Billy, and let me tell
the story. Well, that was the second
time he had sent bill for less than
owed, and 1 wrote him a note calling
his attention to the error. This morn
ing I got letter from him in which
he thanked me for my honesty A
man may thank you for your courtesy,
or for your kindness, but when he
thanks you for being honest, 1t is an
insult. One might as well praise a
man for not beating his WIFE"

some four years back the latter had
