THE HURON EXPOSITOR. - _. a.. ... . Did , "Vey con Dios !" Enterprise and romance carried the day. Nan had said she would never be able to decide. In reality she decided in ten minutes. a-. The decision once made, Nan -.was, in high spirits. It is something to ht4ve, ones' future, settled ; and then ?Lie ( oes' not appreciate what parting is twhe it is two or three months away. .4'lle two I) or three months are always so Itasant that even, putting the parting out of the auestion, you are sorry to have them come to an end. The misery is, they do come to an end; and as you begin to realize what that means --and you can- not arrest time --you almost think it would be a relief to hasten it. It is such misery to look even at things in- animate you have grown familiar with, and to think you will see them no more. Bat what is that compared to looking at the faces you have known and loved all your life—and know that while they are to remain in the dear old places, you are to be borne off into a new and untried WOrld. How the last weeks hasten ! how the last days fly I Nan's last week catne—her last Sun- day. Once again she sat in her corner of the old pew—crimson once more. And as to drowning people there comes in an instant the memory of all their past life, so there seemed to be flashed before Nan's eyes and heart all the days of all her years in Strathlowrie. How grand she used to think the old church! She knew better now: she knew by books and pictures, and what she had heard from others, that it was not simply plain, but hideous. for supper. In six weeks' time ehe was free from the heaves, gained flesh, and was more handsome in shape. I kept her a year and I saw nothing of the heaves. I sold her to go on a stage, and she ran there two or three years, but I did not hear anything about heaves. She cost me $40 and I sold her for $100. A Lawyer's Reminiscences.

Methought the people would exclaim, "A rising man, I vow !" But they haven't-shaven't--- Haven% for a long time now. It was just a great square room. The main passage ran the wrong way. A mahogany -colored gallery was supported on green "marbleized"columns, on which the eyes of Rorie Sanderson, the precentor, rested fondly as he sang. Rorie painted all the week, as he sang on Sunday, and the " marbleizing " was considered his masterpiece. On one side of the passage was a row of " table - Beate," where the communicants sat on the semi-annual sacramental occasions, and where all the rest of the year the old country people loved to congregate. There was old Donald, Bible in hand,staff and bonnet at his side, Laddie doubtless waiting at the church door. There was Merron's kind old face, still framed in the snowy match, now with the hood of the brown cloak drawn over it. You might look the whole length of the " table -seats," and over a great part of the church besides, and see never a bon- net. The enclosure for the elders was high above the ordinary seats; the pre-, centor towered above the elders, while the minister was nearer the ceiling than the floor. Nan knew how it felt to be even at that perilous eminence. She remembered the days when Audrewina cleaned, and Tory and herself were, by turns, every one of the dignitaries. There were the Camerons and other county families in high pews like the minister's, but much grander. There were the Campbells in the cerner exact- ly opposite thene Nan had still a great love for Sophy, but what was that now compared to what she felt for even the least loved within the Manse? Here were the dear old Macalasters at her side. They had taken the kindest in- terest in her going, and had lavished gifts upon her until the minister told them he would send back the very next article that came. Nan's heart was especially tender to Tory. The latter, indeed, had changed much, and Nan fancied she began to see in her young, beautiful face a little of the wistful look she still remembered so we I. Since Nan's earliest recollection, almost, they had never been a day apart, and now they were never to be together again— never, certainly, as they- had been. A terrible fear was uegiuning to dawn upon poor Nan. She was bidding them all good -by forever. Oh, it she could only keep back the - tears till she get safely into the Manse, they might come in a flood if they would. She held out bravely. She tried not to think, or to think only of funny things. She saw Daft Geordie's dismal face turned to their pew, but though she forced herself to think over all the ridi- culous things he had ever done, she had ceased to think them laughable. Would she ever laugh again? They were sing- ing Baterms.—a simple air, surely, yet. Kirsty-Pelson's mother was performing unwritten accidentals, making all sorts of little detours where no one dared fol- low,and then as unexpectedly descand- ingto Rorie's key and note. It was far beyond even Mrs. Poison's usual efforts, and Tory gave Nan a look that said as much. Nan tried to smile in response, but instead put down her head on the high table and wept bitterly. It was one of Nan's greatest misfortunes that she never saw things as they were. She either made them better or worse. Be- fore the revulsion came she had felt her- self a sort of princess setting out to take possession of her kingdom; and Toras's fate seemed humdrum in comparison. Now Tory was the princess, kept safe and happy in the beautiful enchanted land whence she was forever shut out.

When a merchant who is not acquainted with the blowing -up trick conies to buy a a camel, the dealer takes two tubes, each a -yard long, and, inserting one end of each in the small tubes just described, through the other ends two Arabs blow with all their might, until theanimal has attained the requisite degree of plumpness. The infliiting tubes are then withdrawn, and the air is prevent- ed from escaping by means of a cork smeared wit -h pitch. The poor camel now becomes, apparently, quite lively and frisky, trying to throw itself on the ground or to press against a wall or a tree, or whatever other object may be at hand, so as toget rid of the wind. It is generally too well watched by the ras catty Arab to succeed in accomplishing its purpose. Sometimes, -however, it manages • to elude his vigilance; and then, if the cork is not very securely fastened.the windescapes with a whistle like that of a steam-engine, and the flee - looking beast suddenly collapses into the miserable object it really is.—Among the Arab.

Whether the disposition to unlawful appropria- tions of money whica is referred to in the romance as eminently commendable had been developed through -habitual reading of the coveted paper is a matter upon which the public must form its own opinions. As an illustration of the effects of pernicionS- literature upon the young mind the romance in question is singularly apt. It may be interesting to note that an expression which by many is regarded as vulgar slang has really the high class- ical authority of the Bible. It is Job (ix, 20)aho exclaimes in his anguish : "lam escaped by the skin of snY teeth." Some common sayings, such as "God tempers the wind to the shorn Iambi" -"Pouring oil on the troubled waters," "The war horse scents the battle from afar," etc, -are Supposed to be in the Bible, though not so. But there are not many who, in using the expression of hanging on or being saved by the "skin of their teeth," know the high authority for its use. —A woman of fine complexion has ad- mitted that it is due to the milk in the cocoanut.

The effect is wonderful and instantaneous. —A negro tramp called on a dentist in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the other day and asked him to extract a pin from the back of his neck.

When he stepped ashore from the sailing vessel, he said, "I"was without money or friends. I spoke to a man on the wharf, and asked him what to do. He replied, Work, young man. Have you: any motto?' 'No,'I said. 'What do you mean?' He said, 'Every man must have a mot- to. _ Now think of one. Go out and hunt for work.' "I started, thinking of a motto. As I ‘salked along the street I saw painted on a door the word 'Push.' I said That shall be my motto.' I did 'Nish at that door, and entering an office I was asked what wanted. I said Work ; and the word" on your doer gave me not only a motto, but confi- dence.' "My Manner pleased the man. He asked me many questions, all of whic were answered promptly. He said tit last: I want a boy of ' "push," and as you have adopted that for your motto, I will try you: ' • " He did.
