Then, without waiting for an answer, she began -- "The world is fair, and life is new, Because the past has fled, Because in tie's strong heart of mine Old memories are dead. 'And, though they come to me in dream They cannot touch my heart; For in these sweeter, stronger days saa memory has no part. - The past is dead; I have no fear, Because 1 have grown wise, ,and from these unremembered fires Dead ashes cannot rise," “How very sweet and. pretty," said Mrs. Greenway. "I have never heard it before, surely." "No; the lines are impromptu,and set to a scrap of music I have not played for years," rejoined Miss Dale, with a clear, sweet laugh. " If you will per- mit me, I shall go upstairs now, 4rs. (treenwaye 1 have the children's xer- eases to correct for to -morrow." Mrs.. Greenway assented, and Mr. Leigh opened the door for -the governess. M she passed out of the room her eyes met his in one glance of mocking defiance. "Aunt Flelen, your governess has a history," said Jasper Leigh,- when he re- turned to the hearth; "and it is not an innocent one. I am astonished that, as Julia tells me, you•sheuld have engaged her without a reference," "Julia is mists.ken, Jasper," said Mrs. Greenway, coldly. " I have a very warm and flattering recommendation from a clergyman, whom, bytthe-by,you ought to know, the Reverend Dr. Guest, rector of Little Wyman" So, for the present, Jasper Leigh held his peace, and bided- his time.

In a Scotch parish church a young very energetic preacher was officia for the parish minister. As he war with his subject in the sermon, he liberties with the old pulpit not q consistent with its rather crazy co tion, sometimes throwing his weigh it, at other times bringing his down with a heavy thump. An laird, sitting in a square table -sea low, had been anxiously watchin this with visions of an assessmen inaintena,nce of the fabric. At 1 things seemed to be approachin crisis, as the preacher, piling his per had wrought himself into a state tense fervor, which would inevi cl 1. hd pd sisd te li- bn and Id e- 11 Or st g a ods, in - ably have vented itself on the rickety p lpit. Just as he was gathering himself for the final burst, he was snuffed out by the warning voice of the laird: " Noo, ma mon, mind, gin ye break that, ye'll pay for it." things and add one or two more in the Eame line," said a fifth. "Alt wrong,'! reinarked the first speaker. " Wrong?" ehonlised the five. "Yes." "What mak ,s a millionaire, then ? he ece sary — anguid girl (reclining on sofa, to her visitor, after effusive greenn s)— ' iy, Effie, you don't look as well as whe you went away 1 After your 1.ove y summer and social triumph you ' Effie—" No,. I am 'net feeling Very well. The doctor says that I have hear y killed myself his summer, but that if I spend next winter in Florida I can iearly kill myself again next season." She Was Somebody's Mother. The woman was old and ragged and gray, And bent with the chill of the winter's day. ‘- The street was wet with the winter's snow, And the woman's feet were aged and slow. She stood at the crossing and waited long, Alone, uncared for amid a throng Cif human beings, who passed her by, Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eyb. Down the street with laughter and shout, Glad in the freedom of school let out, Game the boys like a flock of sheep, Hailing the snow, piled white and deep. Past the woman eo old and gray Hastened the children on their way, Nor offered a helping hand to her, So meek, so timid, afraid to stir, Lest the carriage wheels or horses' feet Should crowd her down in the slippery street. At last came one of the merry troop, The gayest laddie of all the group. He paused beside her and whispered low : " help you across if you wish to go." Ifer aged hand on his strong young arm She placed, and without hurt or harm, He guided the treinbling feet along, Proud that his own were firm and strong. Then back again to his friends he went, His young heart happy and well content. "She's somebody's mother, boys, you know, For she is old and poor and slow; "And I hope some fellow will lend a hand To help my mother you understand, " if ever she's old and poor and gray, When her own dear boy is far away." And "somebody's mother" bovs'd low her head hi her home that night and the prayer she said Was: "God be kind to the noble boy' , Who is somebody's son a.nd pride andjoy." Of a Sociable Nature. He was a bright, talkative boy of eight or nine, and he rang the door bell of a house an Brush street the other, day and asked to see the lady of the house. He was-admittedt' ankwhen she came into ti the parlor he- aid : "I belong to the moved in next door." " "We want to neighborly. Are you coming to call oia ma "Why—why,.child., I don't know." "You'd better come. Then she can 4come over to see you. She's a great wo- man to tatk, and she'll show you the place where she -had a felon on her hand. You want to bd neighborly, don't you t' .

"I have met with queer characters in my day," remarked a conductor on one of She city roads last evening. "Alt sorte of excuses are given and all old fakes are worked to get a ride. One of the nerviest men it has been my luck to meet was a well-to-do old skinflint that used to ride frequently when I first came on the line. The first time I attempted to collect his fare he smiled knowingly and in an off -handed manner said: " 0 , that's all right." I was young in the " biz " and passed him by. He to death.

There was a sheriff in Illinois who was rather "taken in and done for," on one occa.sion. He made it a prominent part of his business -to ferret out and punish pedlars of merchandise who traveled without a license; but one morning he met his match—a genuine Yankee ped- lar. "What have you got to sell? Any- thing ?" asked the sheriff., i "Yeas, sartin ; what would y family who just ou like to hev ? Got razors—first—rate; that's an article that you want, tew, Squire, I should say, by the look o' your bair Got good blackin'—'t'll make them o d cowhide boots o' yourn shine so't yu can' shave into 'em, e'enamost. Balm o' Klumby, tew, only a dollar a bottle, good for the hair, and assistin' poor hu- ina.n natur''as the poet says." And so he rattled on. At length the sheriff bought a bottle of the Balm of Columbia, and in reply to the question whether he wanted anything else, that functionary said he did—he wanted to see the Yankee's license for peddling in. Illinois, that being his duty as the high sheriff of the State. The pedlar showed him a dOcurnent fixed up good and strong, in black and white. The sheriff looked at it, and pronounced it ''all right." Then' hand- ing back the bottle to the pedlar he said: -"I don't know, now that I've boaght this stuff, that I shall ever want it.

"Oh, I don't know that the stuff is any use to me, but seeing it's you, shuriff, I'll give you 25 cents for it, ef you raly don't want it." The sheriff handed over the bottle at the six shillings discount from his own purchase, und received his change. "Now," said the pedlar, "I've got a question or tew to ask you. Have you got a pedlar's license about your trou- sers anywheres ?" • "No; I haven't any use for the arti- cle myself," replied the sheriff. " Haint, eh?

These people do, not mean to. be chronic fautt-finders, and it never occurs to them that they are. They would net for the world bethought disagreeable, and but for this one trait would be generally very pleasant companions. They did not acquire this habit at once ; any of their friends will tell you that there was time when they were not so; but they began by noticing every little failing. or sapposed fading among their acquaint- ances, and the habit grew with them until it appeared as part of their nature to notice mad condemn every little fault, supposed or real.

ROBERT COLLIE. 1029-41 Wages in he Last Century.'-_ If we look to the wages of workmen in 1762 we shal find that the pay of a carpenter, or b ‘icklayer was 2s. 6d. a dayea mason 2.. 8d., a plurriber 3s. in London. ; The wages of agricultural laborers ranger from 5s. 4da week in 1751 to 7s. 4d. in 1770. A list of items showing the nealful expenditure, and al- lowing for " lothes, repairs, bedding and shoes, Is.;" "bread, flour and oat- meal, 2s. Gd.;' "roots, greens, peas, beans, 5d.;" flesh, 6d.;" brings the total items nec ssary for the food and clothing of a 1. borer's family to 7s. 44d. a week. So hat at best the laborer earned one fa -thing less than he was compelled to s end even on the showing of an " economist." The contract list of prices of fo d and clothes at Green- wich Hospital in 1760 shows that the cost (" wholes le," it will be remember- ed) of a coat s as :El ls.; of shoes, 4s. a pair. Ornitt.ng, therefore, all other items, the cos of bedding, one coat and one pair of s oes, must have reqnired the savings of six months at Is. a week; and t le shilling a week allowed in the list is not .merely for bedding, but also for all t clothes. Of course laborers -were not supposed to require, and rarely w re, coats even on Sundays, —James Rou ledge.
