"1 will land you safe at the dock in Liverpool," said he, -"if you will be men." He did land us safely, but the vessel sank moored to the dock. The captain stood on the deck of the sinking vessel receiving thanks and blessings of. the passengers as they passed down the gang- plank. As I passed he grasped my hand and geld: "Judge P----, do you recognize me?" I told him I was not aware that I ever saw him until I stepped aboard of the vessel.

A verdant housewife, fresh from her rural heme, carne to the city to pur- chase various household necessities. She glanced timidly about her, and -was evidently confused by the countless shops which took the place of the village accommodation store. There was bicket-shop near by, with the usual sign over the door: " Stocks, Grain and Oil." She read the words and en- tered the place. "I want to buy some oil," she said. The proprietor gave her a one -per- cent -margin smile, and winked at the telegraph operator to get some Oil City quotations. ,,,r—i—want to buy a great deal." The bucket -shop man wondered if his safe would hold all the margin money. " I can buy 50,000 barrels for you, madam," he said. . " Or ten thousand barrels " "1 don't want as much as that."

The following story strongly illustrates this truth. Said Judge About thirty years ago I stepped into a bookstore in Cincin- nati in search of some books that I want- ed. While there a little ragged boy, over 12 years of age, canie in and inquir- ed for a geography. "Plenty of them," was the salesman's reply. How much do they cost ?" "One dollar, my lad." "I did not know they were so much." He turned to go out, and even opened the door, -but closed it again, and came back. " I've got sixty-one cents," said lie; " could you let me have a geography and wait a little while for the rest of the money ?" . How eager his bright little eyes look- ed for an answer, and how he seemed to shrink within his ragged clothes when the man, not very kindly, told himhe could not. The disappointed little fel- low looked up at me with a very poor attempt to smile, and left the store. I followed and overtook him. "And what now?" I asked. "Try another place, sir." " Shall I go too, and see haw you suc- ceed ?" "0 yes, if you like," said he in sur- prise. Four different stores I entered with him, and each time he was refused. " Will you try again ?" I asked. "Yes, sir, I shall try them all, or I should not know whether I could get one." • We entered the fifth store, and the little- fellow walked up manfully and told the gentleman just what he wanted, and how much he had. " You want the book very much ?" asked the proprietor. Yes, very much." "Why do you want it so very much ?" " To study, sir. I can't go to school, and I study when I can at home. All the boys have got one, and they will get ahead of me. Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want to learn of the places where he used to go." \Veil, my lad, I will tell you what I will do : I will let you have a new geography, and you may pay me the re- mainder of the money when you can, or I will let you have one that is not quite new for fifty cents." "Are the leaves all in it, and just like the other, only not new?" "Yes, just like the new one." " It will do just iss well then, and I will have eleven cents' left towards buy- ing some other books.

A certain mayor of the ignorant and fi- nancical variety, who had made his money in the liquor business, had a paper brought to him by a clerk with the request for his indorsement. "Your initials only are necessary,," re- marked the scribe. "My nishuls ! What's my nishuls ?" "Why, your given name and your surname each begin with the letter P ; so please write two P's on the back of this paper." His Honor the Mayor took the pen, and with a wrinkled brow and important air, laboriously wrote: "Too Peze." Backwoods "Visiting Days." A teacher in the backwoods region thus describes the arrival of visitors one Sunday morning at his boarding-house: - They came about nine o'clock in the morning in a large wagon, father, mother and tight children, all seated on straight- backed wooden chairs, painted green, with sheep -skin or rope seats. The wagon was a rickety, unpainted vehicle, and the horses were real "bags - of bones." "Well, good land o' massy ! Is this reely yeow ?" cried my landlady, rushing out to meet the visitors. "Looks like us, don't it?" gurgled the mother of the visitors. "Taint our speerits nohow." " How do yeow do? Get out, and come right in. All ?" • " Well's common ; how's folks 2" ', Oh, so's to be 'round, but pap aint feelin' sight pert. I'm tickled to death to see you. Here's Loocindy." Loocindy grinned. " And here's Alciny." Alciny grinned. "And Mary Emmeline." •Mary Emmeline also grinned. "And all the rest of you." All the rest put their fingers in their mouths and giggled. "How do you come on, Mister Jen- kins?" "Oh, middlin', middlin'." "Aint seen any of you for a coon's age. Didn't know but you'd all dried, up and blowed away." Everybody giggled or roared over this. • "Well, a,11.of you walk right in and sit doWill and take off your things, and make yourselves right to home," must fly' 'round to get dinner.

A life time may be spent in investi- gating the mysteries hidden in a bee hive, and still half the secrets would remain undiscovered. The formation of the cell has long been a celebrated pro- blem for the mathematician, while the changes which the honey mid ergoes offer at least an equal interest to the chemist. Every one knows what honey from the comb is like. It is a clear yellow syrup. without a trace of solid sugar in it. Upon straining, however, it gradually assumes a crystalline appearance—it candies, as the saying is, and ultiinately becomes a solid lump of sugar. It has not been suspected that this change was due.to a photographic action; that the same agent which alters the molecular arrangement of iodine of silver on the excited collodion plate and determines the formation of camphor and iodine crystal in a bottle causes the syrup honey to assume a crystalline form. This, however, is the case. M. Scheibler has inclosed honey in stoppered flasks, some of whieh he has kept in perfect dark- ness, while others have been exposed to the light. The invariable results have been that the sunned portion rapidly crystalizes, while that kept in,the dark has remained perfectly liquid. We now see why bees work in perfect darkness, and why they are so careful to ,obscure the glass windows which are sometimes placed in their hives. The existence of IMPORTANT NOTICES.

"Charles, will you help us to make an experhnent ?" "Iwill, sir." "Here is a piece of plug tobacco as large as a pea. Put it in your mouth, chew it. Don't let one drop go down your throat, but spit every drop of the juice into that spittoon. Keep on chew- ing, spitting, chewing, spitting." Before he is done with that little piece of tobacco, simply squeezing the juice out of it without swallowing a drop, he will lie here on the platform in a cold, deathlike perspiration. Put your fingers upon his wrist. There is no pulse. He will seem fOr two or three hours to be dying. Again, steep a plug of tobacco in a quart of water, and bathe the neck and back of a calf troubled with vermin. You will kill the vermin, but if not very careful, you will kill the calf too. These experiments show that tobacco in its or- dinary state is an extremely powerful poison. Go to the drug store; begin with the upper shelves and take down every bottle. Then open every drawer,and you cannot find a single poison (except some very Tare one) which, taken into the mouth of that ten-year old boy and not swallowed, will produce such deadly effects.

Because it never fails to remove worms from the system. II. Because of its perfect harmlessness to the constitution of the smallest or most delicate child. III. Because of its economy, as a bettle in the house will save many a doctor's visit. - IV. Speaial. Because when administering medicine to young children pleasantness of taste should be of an importance, seconlaeoelta‘to the efficacy of the preparation, and this syrupts 80 made that no child will refuse to take it, agreeable and aromatic is its flavor. Try it and take no other. During the time Heenan was in train- ing for one of his historic fights, I had a long conversation with him and his famous trainer, about tobacco. While at Benicia, as some of his fellow work- men have since told 1110, John was a devotee of the pipe. In my first con- versation with him we had been talking over some of his California experiences, particularly the discovery of that won- derful left fist, when one of his cronies, with cigar in hand, came in crying out: "I've got a good one for you, Jack; none of your' two for a cent. I gave a quarter for it, or I'm an Injun.." "Hank, you know I can't touch that thing now. A fellow can't smoke while he is training." "What's the matter, old fel? You never said die in Benicia." "See here, Hank, I've got to get this muscle as hard as a brick" (folding his left arm and feeling of the biceps), "and tobacco won't work. Charlie would kill me if I were to smoke that cigar. He's just made up his mind that I shall win, and he won't let me look at a cigar. He won't let the boys smoke in my room." asked an old trainer who had charge of one of the successful Madison Square Garden pedestrians, how much three cigars a day during the three months of training would affect his man. " I am sure it would beat him," was the reply. A long experience has taught the fra- ternity of trainers that tobacco is an enemy to nerve tone and endurance. No devotee of the weed has graduated at the head of his class at Harvard, or any other college. where statistics have been preserved, notwithstanding the fact that a large majority of college students are smokers.—Treasurer Trow.

Pebble, on the other hand, is front Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation and is herder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble.
