Wattle was a, confirmed bachelor, an' bed aperfeok dreed o' ony lassie gettin' the glamors owre him, an when ony o' the young chaps o' the -village got mar- ried; Wattie was sure to croak in wi' some prophecy about the "useless his - Bey," as he misca'd a' the young lassies, "the puir chap wad sane fin' oot his mister, an' wish hires& back to his neither afore the first sax DawathS were - dune." No, a'body kent Wattie's notions, you may guess that he was no great fa- vozite wi' Ofl o' the young folks; sae it WaSna muckle wanner that they took it into- their holds to pay him oot for a' his tongcte, 0' a' the lassies o' Wattle's kennia% he had a mortal dreed o' Kate Kantrip; she was the biggest randy o' the hale village, an' a tongae—as the auld sayin' gangs—that wad hae " elippit clouts, an? aye ready for ony mischief. Sete the young chaps kerminithe two failing' o' Wattie, as I said afore, determint tae hae their revenge. It was ae nicht about the New Year time—when young folks are.aye ready for fun an' mischief—when One o' the young chiels gettin' a Loud o' Wattie, stip, " Od Dean, Wattie, come awa' an' rn gie ye a drain for auld langsyne, an' wish ane anither gade luck a' the New Year: Wattle's men? fairly -Watered at the thochte an' Writhe his heid for the inn, says— "Man, John, ye're very pia ; but I aye said ye were a sensible sort o' ohiel," —John kent different but (liana say it —" dinna tak' up yer held wi' thee liramers e lassies. Od, Man I'M richt glad to meet ye, hae a lilt friendly e,raek." Wattle was sune in his element, wi.' some ane to listen to his warnin's against " thee gude-for-naething sies." John took good care to keep the glass replenished till Wattie could. carry nae mair—an' that wisna little—vehen, as John had expected, Wattle was sane stearin' awe' as lustily as gin he had been alow the blankets in his am bed. Sae oot slippit John for the ither chap, whe was wisitire, an' the twa wheeled Wattle aff to an auld turable-doon, de- serted hoose juist ootside the village, where a' the ithere, hid gathered. a while afore; an' after ditubin' up a' the win-- dows no to letthe licht be ieon, had uGhtea a big toorick o' stioks they - had gathered; an'- then they dressed themael's 00t a' he gruesoine things they had been gatherin for weeks back, daubin" their faces burnt corks an sic like ; au' ae , long chap had a pair o' coo's horns ,staiek on his held to gie hinisel' the appearance o' bein, the deil. Sae I GT41. tell Ye it was nae can- ny lookin,' cona.pany that Wattle was wheeled in amang. What wi' the black, bare rafters alma° them, an' the dirty damp wa's roomd aboot, a great big fire roarba' on the hearthstone, an' the half a' the reek the hoes°, the figures dancin' aboot an' lauchia.' at nue anith- er's antics, fogs but it wad hae made twa, or three tak' to their heels.

Wattle's first glower roon' confirmed him that he had. at last got to the ill place, but he hadna time to colleck hiraser afore the lang-leggit chap roar- ed oot in a thanderin' voice— " Wattie Farrant, we're a' right glad to meet ye here on th.ls yer weddin' nicht, an' juist talc! a look roon' an' see whet a brew weddirt." company ye've got." Wattie had only tittle to gasp got, "0, Lor' I oh, Lor' 1" afore the seine TOiC0 tluandered oot— " Rise up, Wattle Farrat," but Wat- ties legs warna verra sifter, sae Sane o' the lads stan'in" by gied him a bit prod wi' a pitchfork he had in his hand that sune made Wattle spring tee his feet. "Noe, Wattle Farrant," says lang legs, "00 a' ken hoo.. ye ran clean marryin' when ye were leevin.', sae ye'll e'en get tastin' noo to see hoo ye like it, an' her's the bonnie bride we've ready for ye," when who, stept forrit but Wattle's dreeded foe, Kate Kantrip ! 0, Lor' Lor'! mean Meister -Dell," gasped \\rattle, "could ye no mak' it onybody else than that ran—. Oh! oh !" muttered Wattie, " mak' it far waur if I Ca' b.er a randy; oh,. if I lied only married Jess Black- stock when I was leevin', it wad. hae saved me free this; her twa-three baw- bees wad hae made up for her din face seraaky neck." "Noce" roared lang legs, " dee ye ter this woman 'for better or for wear?' "0, Ler' ! I mean Meister Dell,' cried Wattie, " 1 mann tak' her for wear, as there'll never be ony better aboot it." "Their staim' forrit the pair o' ye, klaf let the company see what a weal - matched couple's afore them.," says the maister o' ceremonies, "and pit on the ring some o' ye ;" when ane o' the chaps near the fire wlmppit up 6, muckle rem' gird, that \NILS ready streakit owre wi, paper, an' weel sockit wi' tur- pentine, a touch o' the fire set it a' in, a _blaze, an' the lowin' gird was owre Wattle's heid in a crack. Wattle gied ae yell, and jumpit as clean through't as ea. circus clown', when the lads, thinkirt` that Wattie had had mieueh, SGMO ane opeued the door, an' the rest stanin' aside, let Wattle bolt clean oot to the open air, where they a.' danced afore hian moral' and lauchin'. Wattie, by gade luck, took the road for the village, and afore he got the length o' his ain.door, the fresh air had brouche hini far oneuch roon' as to let him ken that he had been played a bonny eantrip.

The Hands.—How They Tell . .. the Tale. It is related of an eminent French pedagogue that upon a person becoming his pupil, the hands* were submitted to a close examination, it being the school- master's habit to refuse instruction to those whose hands did not correspond with his peculiar ideas. ; . The art of ascertaining individual character from hand writing has long been practiced, but the study of the hand proper as a guide to peculiar tem; peraraent is comparatively neglected. It is true that the mysterious and no- madic race known as'psies have made F absurd and. raischiev s pretensions in this regard, but how far physiology mill bear out their pretensions is an open question. , Physiological writers assert that the same diversity of feature which prevents two hu au countenances from' resembling each ther is found. existing also in the hale , but, of course, in a minor degree. Other writers assert that the meta/Or less perfection of the hand corresponds with the degree of in- telligence , possessed by the proprietor. The theory, however, is net in harmony with the teachings of experience. There is no country itt the world, perhaps, where a better opportunity is given for the study on thEi hand. than in America. , The custom of hand -shaking which' we so universally observe gives one an excellent opportunity for studying the hand. The most of us_have read. of the " lily-white "handg which the cheaper novelists delight to spread en paper for the delectation of the general public, and we are also familiar, more or less, airith the hands which have shaped the destinies of nations. English 'history of . the last few centuries teems with many instances of foul deeds commit- ted by fair hands, and even bonnie Scotland., the land ' of Bruce and Wal- lace, cif Robert Burns and Walter Scott, land of great men, is blotted ever and anon with foul and most atrocious acts comnaitted by peasant &lad king. We are • cognizant of the small hands of Cleopatra, as told by her biographers, and other Roman ladies, but it is not the writer's purpose here to refer to them. We propose to speak of "every- day hands " hands -which we meet on the streets on the cars and on the fer- ry -boats. One of the best places to study the language of hands is in the cars. The scene is early in the morning, as the " herny-banded laborer " is journeying to his toil. The first thing the observer notices is that few of the occupants are reading newspapers. This is not agood indication.But we pass on and the conductor Collects the fares. We notice the tardiness with which the laborer pull's forth his Money, and hew carefel- ly he counts it. It is evident that he is not used. to much money. Seated Mid- way in the car is a matter-of-fact busi- ness man, who hands the conductor a piece of money in a ;nonchalant manner, an4 receives the change without count- ingit, and:unconcernedly puts it in his pocket. -If we now look at the -hands of the two num, we can discern a mark- ed difference. The first is hard and crooked. The second is not exactly fair, but it shows that the man's- tem- perament is More liberal. With,ladies it is the same. The wife or daughter who receives a large portion from her father's purse spends it itt a reckless manner, while the father in his business may be almost a miser.. ; The next best place to a car is a, thea- tre, perhaes, and the money -takers at our leading theatres- could doubtless tell many good stories about the hands they daily and nightly see. ' There is no mistaking the band of the workman as he pushes it through the narrow ap- erture, andthe clerk almost instinct- ively utters, "He's a carpenter," or, " He's a blook.stnith." The clerk very soon learns to distinguish the long, wiry haua of the over-worked book-keeper from the plurap round. white hand of the artist. Henan tell at once the differ- ence between the thick and hairy hand. of the seaman, with Indian ink marks on the back, and the white hand ofthe banker; and he can also tell it and the difference between a particular man by the shortness of the finger nails and the general untidiness to that uncertain class of people who allow their finger nails to grow at will. And then the tramps we meet! Can we ever forget the soft, flabby hand of the professional as he convulsively clutches the piece of money held.out to him? (Or the protuberances here and there, whiCh prevent the recognition of the well -shaped hand of the man who was not originally intended to earn his bread by the sweat of his -brow? In ono of the police courts, a few weeks ago, a noted professional thief was put on trial, He denied his guilt, a.nd said he was "a hard-working man." "Let me see your hands," said the Justice. The prisceier held up to his honor's gaze a pair of well -shaped and round hands. "You are committed," said the stern Justice, who had learned by experience the difference between the hands of a "hard-working man" and the profes- sional thief. • Pick pockets, too, must needs have fingers of delicate construction to be- come adepts in their nefarious business. They °table them to become success- ful, but, when arrested. their hands are unimpeachable evidence against them. On the ferryboat and trains there is also abundant opportunity for studying the hand. The meaner in which money is ex, changed for tickets very ofteu indicates a man's character. A: quick, sharp - sighted bueiness man flings down his money and passes on, in marked con- trast to the slowness with which .the t money is handed over by the profes- ; siopal money -lender: The man abut town passes his m.oney over in an un- concerned manner, -while the appren- tice -boy tremblingly offers the carefully a counted money as if fearfal of losing it. 9 As a curious and perehanee interest- ing fact it may be remarked that the hands of the magician Heller, which might be appeased to be ways . soft anl delicate, are, on the con ary, even th palms calloused and hardened'with th4 peculiar and constant manipula- tie s of his craft. . -!he fingers are trained thus to a wiry, strong, yet delicate touch., , It thus transpires that the hardened palm is not always e-vidence of extreme manual exertion.- Of the fair sex the sa,m.e i$ true in al- most every respect, but thet, they are mere vain there can be no dispute. Of course the hands of the laundress differ Irene those of the store assistant or the hoase maid, and so on to the end. of a very long ellapter, but we cannot re- frain just- here, from saying 6 word about these much -be -jeweled hand's of fair propOrtions which we meet occa- sionallyin society. It is said that there is ja woman in New YorIcity who ; maks a business of paring he nails of fashionable ladies. She fashions them in that delicate manner which was all the rege in Paris a few years ago, and which, of ,course, the New York ladies industriously followed. Be this true Or not, the ladies of New York now have their gloves all made to -prder, and a many of the would-be dandtes are now following their example.-e.N. Y. Ex- press. • The Power of ;Rpm.

When. the gentleman turned round. to confront his • assailant, he perceived that she had. made a mistake, and at the same time she caught sight ef her husband, who had, replenished. a cigar case at to- bacconist's, and was crossing the street. What could. she do?

T e officers of the first French squad- on 1 hat ever anchored in Beston bar - or received am invitation to dinner fro one, of Boston's cits " named Tra ey. The good Bostonion, led astray by t o popular belief that Frenchmen live chiefly on. frogs, caused all the EINVa ps of Cambridge to be searched in oder to furnish a generous supply. When- the soup was brought up the host ladled out a supply for his guests, taki care that each should have a frog. The admiral had. the first plate- ful, 341, putting his spoon in, fished up a large frog " as green and as complete as if it had hopped out of a pond into the tureen." Not knowing what it was, he seized it by one of its hind legs, and, hale -ling it up in front of the -whole coin, 'any, discovered that it was a full- gro n frog. As the plates went round, fres discoveries were made, and the uprc or grew uni-Cersal. Meantime the host leept his ladle going, wondering wh Ins outlandish guests meant by such extravagant merriment. "What is the matter ?" he asked. at length, raisng his head and surveying the frogs, whiCh, held out by one leg, were dang- ling in all directions. "Why don't they eat them ?" he exclaimed. "If they knew the confe-anded trouble I had to catch them, in order to treat them to a dish ;of their own country, they would find that with me, at least, it was no joke."
