During the time ,when our jewel - business wee ' under sail,' it happened that one of the highest noblemen in Sweden departed this life. The body of the 'Count lay in state arrayed in the Seraphim- order, the cheeks slightly7tinted with car- , . mine, as was the fashon of adorning the- l;odiete of persons, of his distill- igufshed rank. Something of - the giliiine 'Vern by ie;iiri life was con- fearedbit in death.. But the Catlett wore another and far more natural • ornament, namely; a profusion of hair, silvery white, and confined in braid, according to the fashion of the time of Gustavus III.; to whose court the de,citased Count had be- longed. On the burial_ day, just • before thr ciositig of the coffin, this hair Was removed to be distributed , in locks among relatives' end heirs. Oa the, day following, orders for not less than fourteen gold rings, accompanied the braid to the jewel- • er, who depositing the latter in a drawer emong other valuables, went to work immediately at inking the rings. These, bertity with massive gold, were soon reedy, when on re- opening the drawer, judge of oar friend's, consternation at finding the braid missing. Wife, children and servants were summoned, and a thorough search instituted ; when finally confession was made by a lit- tle six-year-otcl that at a certain tiine, when the cat was his playmate, he lied taken the braid tierni the drawer to play with, and when he was pulling at oue end of the saint- ed Caent's hainiand puss was pull- ing at the fother' puss had proved ‘ e , victor, and borne it p.way heaven ! only knew where; and nothing more of its fate. could be learned'.

The woman who lives in two little back rooms up, stairs, apes and en- vies 'the Woman who has a whole house to herselfThe woman who has a small house apes and envies the woman with a large house, and the woman with iargeehouse is in a steady fever of fear and fretting lest she be not recognized and visit- ed by the woman whe has a stone - front house and a -circus ehariot, with a clown dressed up in ,buttons. .No matter hOw high up a woman climbs upon the social ladder, there is al-' ways still some higher height which • she ean't. scale, some other woman over her head who looks down upon, her, and gives her days and nights of jealousand- headache. Not a blessed woman of them all is happy ' and content in the soil wherein fate has planted her, but must peek spend her best time and strength ini finntic efforts to pull herself up by the roots and transplant herself somewhere else. The snobs who ride :circus chariots curl ,up their noses at the • schoolmistresses, the scheohnistresses look clown from in- finite heights upon th.e clerks end dressmakers, and the clerks and dressmakets in turn pay it off upon the kitchen girls.
