I was always able to spell correctly. My wife and 'her sister, Mrs..0aa'ne, were a'lwa'ys tb!ad' spellers. Once when Okra was a 'little Schap her mother was away from home 'kr a few days, and Clara wrote her a small' letter every day. When her mother returned she praised Clara's letters. Then she said, "But in one of them, ]Clara, you spelled a word 'wrong.", ' Clara said with quite unconscious brutality, "Why, mama, how did you know Mlore than a quarter of a Century has elapsed, and Mrs..Crane is under our roof here in New York ,for a few days.

THERM MONEY IN OIL— EVEN CASTOR OIL A little girl, who is six years old, had for the 'su'm of ten cents consent- ed to take the despised medicine pre - .scribed during a slight illness. A few days later her brother asked her to help pick cornlcobs. She was re- luctant, but when he offered her a cent a basket she went gleefully to. work. 'It was slow work; 'however; she 'found that the basket held a prodig- ious number of cobs. With growing indignation she persevered until the basket was piled high. 'T'hen she stood erect with wrathful counten- ance.. 'I'1' not pick another cob, Fred Al lent" she •said crisply.

THERE ARE TIWIO WAYS OF MARRYING. :In spite of his cherubic countenance ]Benjamin alawe.tt, the master of Bal liol College at IOxifortd, was :shrewd and :well acquainted with the ways of the world. On two 'occasions only, writes the Rev. A. IH. IS'ayce in his remin+iscen:ces, have iI known of h'i's being non-plussed. On one occasion Inc was staying With one el the Eton 'masters, who had invited 'his boys to -breakfast to meet the d4'sitingui's'hed guest. Jewett was silent ttbeough'out the meal, as ;was his wont When not •called upon to entertain •members of the high of- ficial' or aristocratic world, and 'viten the diners>rose from the table, one of the boys, a goodonutured fellow and the son of a country squire, thinking that the stranger 'mus't 'have conie 'from the country and that his silence was e.wing to the fact that the topics of conversation, p'hilosop'hy and the like, had been. above his comprehen- sion, went up to him and said, "It's been very stupid talking, 'sir, hasn't it? (How 'are the crops doing iii y`o'ur part of the !world?" On t'he .Mier oceassoha (Bellied u- dergradttate was laid up with typhoid fever, and 'his' sister came to 'Oxford to 'nurse hint. Jewett kindly offered her a ro'one in this house, and there she retrained u'n'til her brother was con- valescent. On leaving she th'atnked tate master for lids kindness,and added that she was emboldened by it to make a further call upon him. Would he marry 'her? Jowett got up from his chair, walk- ed up an'd'dow'n the room in• an agit- ated 'fashion and (began to stammer out that it was impossible, But he was much relieved when she went on to explainthat what she meant was that she 'was •going to be married in a dew weeks and wanted him to .perform the ceremony.: "This is a' nice canoe, isn't it," said the 'tall, dark young man. "Very- nice," replied the pretty girl sitting in the stern. "There's juste one objection to it." °`Indeed; and' what is 'that? "Oh. well, you see, if you try to kiss.a girl in this canoe there's a great danger -of upsetting it, and then both the 'fellow' and the girl 'would :be thrown into the river." 4'0,h, indeed!" said the girl, reflec- tively, and elle sat client for a while. 1At length she remarked, softly, `I can swim. A boy entered a busy draper's shop and asked for ,"Half a yard of devil:" 1He'persisted in his request,'ex•plain- ing that it was to .match his granny's dress. Still he was not understood. Then Inc said suddenly, . "That man over there is serving what granny wants." "Oh, it's black sateen yov, want," said the shopkeeper. "Yes, sir, i't's black saitan," replied the Iboy.
