When he got his drink, he stepped up to the fire to light his pipe, eyeing the scones keenly. "What's your name ?" asked the old woman. "John Takeo - scone," he replied. "John Take-a- tscone," said the old woman, surprised at the curious name. "I'll oblige you with pleasure," says John, and he took a scone and walked out. • He'll Make it Hot for Mickey.

Melbourne, July 9th, 1886. • Why Some People Marry. Some marry for the fun of the thing and never see where it comes in. This is discouraging. Some marry for the sake of a good companion, and never discover the mis- take. This is lucky. Man is a fickle critter." Even Adam who had his wife made to order, found more or less fault with her. Don't marry a man for his reputation. It is liable to be only a second hand affair borrowed from his ancestors. Many women have married men for their fine exterior. But that's all there is to an ancient egg worth mentioning. Marriage resulting from love at first sight is not generally wedded bliss on a par with sour milk. One or the other gets swindled, and often both. Many a man has married for beauty only to learn that he had paid twenty dollars for what can be purchased for twenty-five cents at all druggists. ' This is hard. But few people marry for pure love, and they in after years suspicion that what were at the time promptings of the tender passion were, in all probability, but the first symptoms of cholera mor- bus. The man who marries a woman sim ply because she is a handy arrangement to have about the house, does so from a pure business stand point, and in the end, if not compelled to support him, she has done better than many women I know of. -H.

My wife is afflicted with a disease which fills me with concern, and which threatens to destroy the happiness of what would otherwise be a very happy married life. She is the best little wo- man ever a husband had, when she is herself; so tender, so true, so self-deny- ing, so forgetful of self, so thoughtful of other: a bright Companion ; a good house -keeper; an ornament in eeciety • a woman of whom any man mieht be proud, and of whom I am very •••oud. When she welcomes me home at e•a,ht, it is with a tenderness of love v. . lightens Iife of all its burdens. Her eyes are brighter than, diamonds; her voice is sweeter than a bird's; and her kiss would exorcise the bluest devil from the most downcast heart. But when the disease of which I speak is upon her she seems to be entirely changed. She does not come to the door for me, but I have to hunt her up. Her eyes have no light of life in them; her voice is as cold and meaningless as the wooden tones of an ill -played flute • and if I bring her my evening kiss die presents a reluctant cheek to receive it, with such a air that I would as soon kiss the polished surface of the marble mantel. She is not cross - that I think I could endure; she is sim- ply marble. If I ask her, What is the matter? -she replies, indifferently, noth- ing. If I persistin my inquiries, she simply retreats within herself, and is silent. If I reproach her, she answers with tears. If I knew that I had offend- ed her, I would gladly apologize and make what reparation lies in my power; but how can I repair a wrong when I do not know what it is, or apologize for a fault when I have no consciousness of having committed one? If I knew she were tired,I would at least try to relieve her; or sick, I would send for a doctor. As it is, I do not know what to do; and I am equally afraid to do anything, lest I make a mistake; and to do nothing, lest I seem to her sensitive soul to be in- different to her malady. I have consult- ed with some of my married friends who are older and have had more experience than myself, and they tell me that this disorder, this periodic frigidity, is a not uncommon disease among women, and that the best wives are the most subject to its attacks. They deelaie that the only remedy is to leave nature to take its own course: but it . though so distress; ja ataease ought not to be incurabie, aud I have ventured to write to you, in the hope that either your own experience or that of some of your numerous correspondenta may sug- gest a remedy.

Old Dr. ----was not often outwitted by his people. On one occasion he had invited a young minister to preach for him, who proved rather a dull speaker and whose sermon was unusually long. The people became wearied; and as the Doctor lived near the bridge, near the commencement of the afternoon service he saw his people flocking across the river to the other church. He readily understood that they _feared they should have to hear the same young man in the afternoon. Gathering up his wits,which generally came at his bidding, he ,said to the young minister: "My brother across the river is rather feeble, and I know he will take it kindly to have you preach to his people; and if you will do so I will give you a note to him, and will be as much obliged to you as I would to have you preach for me; and I wantyen to preach the same sermon that you preached to my people this morning." The young minister, supposing this to be.a commendation of his sermon; start- ed off in good spirits, delivered his note, and was invited to preach Most cordially. He saw before him one-half of Doctor —'s people, and they had to listen one hour and a half to the same dull, hum- drum sermon that they heard. in the morning. They understood the joke,. however, and said they would never un- dertake to run away from the Doctor again. -Exchange. -The boycott placed against fruits and vegetables cultivated by Chinese,by the Anti Chinese Association in Califor- nia, is said to have no effect.

O. 962 - The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, epeaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder 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. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, holiness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped 13. L.
