Mr. Choate, who was writing at the time, merely said, " Take a chair," and went on with his writing. After the lapse of fifteen minutes of an embar- rassing silence, the visitor grew im- patient and said, Bishop—'s son." Choate replied, " Take two chairs." —Mistress --` Mary, I with you would tell the coak vhen you go down that I do not approve of her having no much compauy staying late and making a noise.'

Judge—'nMy dear, this-- case LS out of my jurisdiction. 1 have no power to overrule the decision of the .Court below, this time.' —A wife of nearly ten years, having given her servant a holiday, was attend- ing culinary matters herself, and, hear- ing her husband coming into the kitchen, thought she would surprise him as he entered the door by throwing her hands over his eyes and imprintinu a kiss on his brow, as in the days of. the honey- moon. The husband returned the salute with interest, and asked aa he disengaged her hands, "Mary, darling, whe-reis your mistress ?" The wife discharged "Mary, darling," the next day, and has adopted a new plan of surprising her husband . ----A Highland drover while passing an observatory Was greatly puzzled by the barometer arid thermometer fixed outside the b uilcl g , and could not for the life of him divine for what purpose they were intended. Donald placed his ear against the former instrument to listen to the ticking, and then in des- pair applied to &person passing for in- ferreation. " Weal," the man replied, " when ta white atuff in ta lang glass gangs doon, she brings ta frost au' mild, am' when she gangs up she brings ta warm. Ta hand on ta thing like a clock plata at ta gnaw and ta rain, an' tells her nae mair than she kens hersel'.

Second Boy —" So's your father a shoemaker." First Boy—" Ma says he's a manufac- turer. lie makes a thousand pairs of shoes to your father's one pair." Second lIoy—" Then he must be a thousand times worse than my father. I guess I won't play with you any more." —He stood by his cold hearthstone and pressed both hands to his throbbing temples, while his glaring eyeballs rolled wildly. Poised in mid-air he saw a t raw- c olored. dog with a blue tail; coil- ed upou the table was a bow-legged snake with a crimson tongue, while from his slippers peeped green turtles .who wagged their horrid heads. "Got 'em again," groaned the victim; but it was mkt so. His wife had been to the Jap- anese village, and had not returned empty-handed. What it Costs James Gordon Bennett to keep a Yacht. "Of the steam yachts I think dames Gordon Bennett's Namournais the most eoady to maintain. Her ccAnpletnent of se,ainen, carpenters, assistant engineers, aud doulAe sets of oilers and stokers numbers 50-, and their bill alone calls for $1,750 each month. Her captain receives $:10Cl for the same period. while the chief steward. and galley retinue manage to claim $600. The waiters about the saloon secure pay similar to that of the sailors, and Mr. Bennett's amanuensis receives $2,500 a year. To feed these - men almost $1,500 must be expended each month, which amount does not in- clude the guests' and owner's table; nor When my Sally's sweetness found me, was like the men around mea_ was coarse and low and selfish as the beast that d-ies;; But her g+ace began to win me, And, my heart was changed within me, And I leerned to pray from gazing in my dar- ting's tYeg-1 —Spectator.

This is a • necessity to a stealn yacht, and at the lowest market rate costs $4 a ton. The fuel or the Namouna averages $2,000 per Month. As I understood it, her tires are never , - extinguished, not even on Sunday. She is in commission nine ;mouths of the year. Annually the uniforms of the sailors must be refitted, ; and these cost something like $1,000 more, for the yacht must foot the bill in accordance with the sailing articles. The vesSel must be repaired and replenished as regards canvas, engineer's -working apparatua, oil, cordage. and deck fix- tures, so that at least $2,000 more is ex- pended. I do not mention in that the loss in annual depreciation and insurance. In all, I think, the iNaznouna costs her owner $100,000 each year. Mr. Wm. B. Astor's Nourmahal, a bigger boat than the Namouna, does not eat up more than $60,000.1 She has not been in commission this season, so that her expenses are very light.

A _child's penetration pees beneath de- ceit and subterfuge : " A farmer, whose cribs were full of corn, was accustomed to, pray that the wants of the -needy might be supplied. Nit when any one in needy eircurn2 stances asked for a little of his corn, he said he had none to spare. One day, after hearing his father pray for the poor and needy, his little son said to him, 'Father, I wish I, had your corn.' " Why, my son, what would you do - with it?' asked the father. "The child replied, 'I would answer your prayers. ' " I . , How carelessly We quote Scripture, how heedless we are of the meaning of our own professional No wonder little children are puzzled:, and lose the way because of our misleading. " Mamma," said -a little child, "my Sunday -school teacher 1 tells me that this world is only a ,place in which God lets as live a while, . that we may pre- pare for a better world; but, mamma, 1 don't see anybody preparing._ I see you preparing to go into- the country, and Auntie is preparing to come here; but I don't see any one preparing to go there. Why don't they try 70 get ready?" When Ben's master died they told him he had gone to heaven. Ben shook his head; "1 'fraidmassa no go there." "But why, Ben ?" "'Cos', when massa go North, or go a. journey to the Spring, he talk about it a long time, and get ready. I never hear him talk about going to heaven; never see him get ready to go there." Winter Sports at Rideau Hall. Lord Lansdowne,: the present Geyer- ner of the Dominion, of Canada'stands prominently as the social head in Canada, and his wife, "one of the handsome Hamiltons," is eager, with the governor, to tread we lin the ,course outlined by the complimentary and successful Du fr- erins. The attractions at the Hall during the Ottawa season are worthy of particular comment; for there is a pic- turesqueness belonging' to - them more attractive than , their mere social side. After the State hall is end- ed. and the Lenten season has set in the marchioness issaes At Home cards to approved persons anthe visiting book;. and she entertains two evenings or one' afternoon and one evening during the week. The entertainme t on:these oc- casions consists in ska ingupon the t, artificial lakes or tobogg !ling' down the three slides which stand in the . grounds of the Hall. The scene pon a winter's evening is picturesque and gorgebus. Shortly after dusk the 4uests begin to assemble, young and old, men and womdn, being for ! the greater part apparelled in proper costume, and bringing with them, skates ,and tobog- gans. The lady wears kauit of 'blanket cloth, white, blue, myrtle, or magenta, the same being fa,neifullyi trimmed with colors to match. • Upon her feet she has buff moccasins, and upon her head a toque of richcolor with a long stream- ing tassel. The men wear similar costumes, knee-breec,bes, and long black stockings. it frequently happens . that neither MOOD nor star is to be seen upon one of these festive evenings at the Hall, and then an enormouP bonfire, construct- ed of many cords of dry logs, burnsl in the midst of the grounds, its gusts,iof flame playing among the pines, . and waking a thousand 'shadows into mad revel. Those who are afraid to decend the dizzy slides stand in the glare of the giant fire, and the ear farthest from the, flame may turn white, :while the nigh one is red, for the mercury is at the Moment probably twenty degrees below I zero. It is seldom that a more gorgeous sPectacle is presented than when a couple of, hundred costumed guests gather about this fire, the colors of their gar- ments brigtened by the glare, and the gloomy deeps of the pine woods forming a background to the pietpre. But all the excitement is in another' direction. From the head of each of the slides, already referred to, decends an icy trough, and along each side hangs a row of Chinese lanterns, whose sober,un- waveringlglow is a constant rebuke to the mad reveling down the slippery steep. Eadh toboggan accommodates from t w o to four persons, the steerer throwing himself upon his side, and steering his convey- ance in its lightning career by a quick touch of his mocCasined toe. The speed of the toboggan is equal tothat of a lightning express, and during my first descent I imagined that I was falling sheer down a precipice; and my heart and complete interior economy seemed 0 rise into my throat. No object is distinguishable during the downward plunge; Chinese lanterns, returning i tobogganers, the icy Auk, and the motionless spectaters, al being mingled like the passing ensemble of a kaleido- scope. No one seems to enjoy this exciting passage so much as the Cana it dian girl, and a pictures lue sight it is to gee her.as she is shot ast, her toque and head -wrap streami ig behind, her eyes gleaming with e).citement. , But either by night or day there is only the space of a heart-beat given you to note her look: for she goes past, bravely I reliant upon the gallan t steersman, with the impetuosity of a shot -bolt. Sometimes accidents more or less serious result from careless or awkward steer- ing ; and I have seen a !lady with her cheek torn literally open by collision with a clumsy tobogganer..

The shoemaker's wife had d ed, and he was left alone in the w rld, the only live things in the house with iim being his pet dog and a cage of fine es. He gave his dog in charge of o e of his neighbors, and as for the finch s, he old those, because the shoemaker yas p or, and needed the money to help him ver the sea. Ile was very sorry to art with c'iie of the bullfinehes, a bri ht bird that had been taught by the s oe- maker's clead wife to whistle a soft, ow song from beginning to end, w thout so much as ki false note. , But he sold he bird with the others,' bade good -by to his friends at Augsburg, . and set sail from the old world to the shining ph res of the new. When he reached America he went to live with one of his sons in Brooklyn. To his surprise, he fo nd that both his boys were well-to-do, nd, I though h had intended teope a Aft' Shop, the told him that he nust hot ii(10 that, but must pass the ret of his life in ease and peace. So,i for the better part of two years-, the ld shoe- maker of Augsburg has lived in Brook- lyn, and, ,in spite of the fact th t he had not " scuek to his last," he has been c n - tented. Nevertheless, he oftez thought about Augsburg, and about his pet bull- finch; wondering whether he finch had found an owner in the person , of some prince, " for that bird was fit to° whistle before a king," said he, proudlly. One day just previous to the past Christ- mas, the old German saw a gray squirrel in a cage in the window of a b rd st re in New I ork, and stopped to atch its antics. 1s ha stood there, he eard the whistle of a bullfinch, and so h step ed quickly in. In a large cage near thc door were a dozen finches, and hen the shoemaker. approached the cag , one of the finches sidled along his pe eh tow- ard him, and whistled softly. The old man of Augsburg was already bent of body, but he excitedly bent sti I lower, so that the finch could whistle i his ear, and that the pleased bird did, ith much gleeful sweetness. The shoem ker was more than delighted, he was o erjoyed ; for indeed the finch was his old -ti ne pet, the One whistler that his •wn wife had taught in the little shop if Au s burg. Se the shoemaker bo ght the finch and took it home with im. He learned from the 'dealer that the bird had beet 'bought of a firm of b rd deal- ers in Bremen last summer, and had been brought to America with t o dozen trained wihistlers of its kind.

Huron. The points of superiority over the common variety are as follows : :It grows longer and coarser straw and in regard to stiffness it is more like wheat straw than that of barley, consequently it stands up splendidly. It has a longer head, a larger grain, and will yield at the lowest calculation 10 bushels per acre more than the common variaty of barley, besides it is recommended by the brewers as being equal to the common barley for their purposes. A sample of the said barley will be left at 0. Brownell's grocery store, Sea - forth, for inspection.
