If he don't find bis Master Murdoch, or anyother master, we'll find - *erne latnous music- nian to take him for his voice. But that Wout't help as any. Our dwarf is gone, &pa a giantess is no show without a dwarf 4.1ongside." Youill never find the equal of Alex- ander,' cried Margery. "For smallness—no " said Nicolas, ivith conviction. " Then, too, our wax- works are terribly worn, and our winter is so bad that we shall have nothing in hand to get them painted and touched' up, and to buy a few more from Madame- Tussaud's cast-off. Wax -works require tistie touching up, and art is a Iyar s'heiregwhich ever must be paid for, as also the velvets and other decorations to figures properly before an admire 8i:tthe g public. So how we shall get up any ahOW-worth talking about I do not see, and even much less do I see how we are to get fed the rest of the winter. Our - rents are paid ahead, but wh t, I ask, is rents paid up, when, lacking fuel and provisions, we are more than likely all to turn into dead corpses ?" "When, I'm sure," said Margery, lachrymose as ever, at touching on effec- tive points, "we'll none of us have as genteel funerals as the one you gave Aleiander." "Not that we wouldn't be equally de- serving," added Nicolas. . Don't get so down -hearted," said Quentin,looking up from his geography. "We used to get very poor winters at Kill Edit sometimes, and something always turned up. My Sandy and Aggie always expected something to turn up; they said God could spread a table in the wilderness, and they looked for it, and he always did." - "Then they had better luck than most," said Margery, in all good faith "I never found a table spread anywhere unless I had money to pay for what came on it, and also cooked it." "But having the money," interposed Quentin—" that's the same as spreading the table, don't you see? ,And, besides, Aiggie said the way was sisccording to your faith,' and if you believed you'd get it, then you would get it." "Now, it appears to me," said Nico- las, admiringly, "that there is some- thing in that." " For my part," said Margery, "I clearly say that I didn't have half sup- per enough. Whether it's .the cold weather or my grieving over Alexander the Great that gives me an appetite I don't know but I do admit that if I thought believing would fetch me a good pork pie to revive my spirits, I'd go to believing it just as quick as ever: I could. I -hear Thomas' step in the and Peggy, suppose you open the door to let him know we are all in here," He has brought eggs, and rolls, and oreain, and butter--" Nicolas interrupted the category by dashinginto the entry and bringing in the !dairyman, a decent young fellow, wholentered rosy and hilarious, a boun- tiful basket on his arm. Margery and the twins increased the table accommodations; and fried the.egg'e; Nieelas assured the dairyman that, the girlbeing eighteen and orphans, there was'no one to say him nay if 'he wished to marry Peggy, also that "they were good girls.' The dairyman, on his part, explained that he was quite able to do well by a wife and also to receive Polly with her sister; and. that he thought the "twins were ,the prettiest, rosiest, merriest, modestest, nicest girls that ever had entered the door of the Charles street dairy ;" after which, they all ate supper and settled that the wed- ding should he in three weeks. Before leaving the dairyman gave his Peggy twoponnds to buy wedding gowns and hats for herself and her sister. The happy prospects of the twins brightened the spirits of the whole family. A feW days after this, while Quentin was making his rounds, he noticed a placard on a doorway in Regent's street advertising a free lecture to working- men the next evening ; subject, "Geol- ogy." Soule one •ed that it was a. where learned me standing neer explainorkingmen's institute, n gave free Jtures three times a week on subjects in a.tural history. Next morning Qaentin told Rithhie that he would stay in the west portion of the city all day and attend the lec- ture in the evening. He found a warm, well lit hall, charts and cabinets on the walls,a cicowd of hearers on the benches, a group of gentleman -patrons on the platform, a table with a number of specimens of rock, among which Quen- tin noticed the red Isandstone with which he was familiar at Kill Eda. Then the. side '-door on the platform opened, find the speaker came forwards - Quentin leaped to hi fi feet iv ith joy, and emIld scarcely sit back and behave him- self. stand was, fifty years ago, a howling wilderness." Then he ransacked his pockets for the 'paper, but in vain. "Again, ladies and gentiemen, I would desire to iMpress upon your minds that the beautiful spot on which we now stand, was, fifty years ago, a howling wilder- ness." Again he dove frantically into his pockets for the missing speech, but it was not forthcoming. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "again I repeat that the beautiful snot on which We now stand was, fifty years ago, a howling wilderness—and I wish to the Lord it was to-day."—Adrian Times.' The vest of months had ended; the lecturer was Mr. Murdoch. L •(To be continued.) Lessons From a -Prairie Flower. Out -in nature's garden grew a lily so fair, Far away from any dwelling, and far from any care; Far on the bonndless prairie, lonely yet so free, Never known • by those who would love thee. Thomas, being admitted, advanced to the table, and clearing a space amid the twins' and Margery's sewing and Quen- tin's books, set down—a huge pork pie -i "It is three days old, but that don't hurt it," he said. "1 thought it might cheer up Nlargery and take her heart off Alexander. My boss give it to me for extra work. So all fall to, and don't stand on ceremony. No ; I don't want any. Bless you! that's the advantage of living at an eating -house; you have so much and see so much it ruins all your appetite." The spirits of all—especially Marg ery's—were much refreshed by the pork pie, and she announced that, though when the pie arrived she had not got up to the point of believing, she should _ certainly have higher faith thereafter. Being in such a frame of mind, they all listened to the story of the raising of the siege of Samaria, and, further to, impress the history, they all took a look at Queutin's medal. "They were in a worse orse than we are," said Margery, "for, worst to worst, we could get a dole from the parish, and I'd a million times sooner go to the almshouse or starve than eat the twins. I don't know that an ass's head would be very fit to ealsbut a calf's head made into soup is not a despisable dish. But it does beat all how, when they wanted only food—and an undeserving pack they were, killing children and sending to cut off men's heads—they got not only food a -plenty, but also rai- ment and silver and gold and dishes.— , What would we do with them, Nicolas ?" " Fair Play" is all that is asked for Dr. Pierce's Golden 4Iedi- ca1 -Discovery, when taken for catarrh in the heed, or for bronchial or throat affections, or lung scrofula (commonly known as consumption of the lungs) and if taken in time, and given a fair trial, it will cure -or the money paid for it will be refunded. It is the only guaranteed cure. Nohuman hand to protect from the winds so - piercing and cold, God alone is thy watcher, who seems to hide in his fold Making one spot so bright with the color and perfume so pure Heaven takes note of thy beauty, and from it the rain God doth pour. "I'd set up an eating -house," said Nicolas, " and I know right well who I should ask to be mistress and equal partner in that same. with assurance that the chops would 'be cooked second to none in London." More than half the money spent for provisions was now earned by Quentin singing in the streets; he and Ritchie, with the twine, Nicolas and Margery, made one family. "I wish," said Margery, the last evening of January, "that the twins would come in. It is :after six ; they went out with their work a long while ago." The humble meal, was on Margery's table; the other members of the family stood by the fire. In rushed the twine; their pretty faces were lit with laughter and red with blushes. Their eyes shone. They burst out in chorus : "We're going to be married !" What !' cried Ritchie. "To the dairyman Cleanse the liverestonaach, bowels and whole system by using Dreiercear Pellets. A Bootblack's Generosity. A reporter called to a little boot- black the other afternoon. The little fellow came rather slowly for one of that lively guild, and planted his box down under the reporter's foot. Before he could get his bruehee out another larger boy ran up, and calmly pushing the lit- tle one aside, said : "Here, you go sit 'down, Jimmy." The reporter at once became indig- nant at, what he took to be ae piece of outrageous bullying and sharply told the new comer to clear. "Oh, its all right, sir," was the re- ply. "I'm only going to do it for him. You see he's been sick in the hosylital for mor'n a month, and can't do mu& work yet, and um boys all turn in and give him a lift when we can." "Is that so, Jimmy," asked the re- porter, turning to the small boy. "Yes, sir,' wearily replied the boy, and as he looked. up, the pallid, pinched face could be discerned even through the grime that covered it. "He does it for me if you'll let him." "Certainly, go anead," and as the bootblack plied the brush the reporter plied him with questions. "You say all the boys help him in this way'?" "Yes, sir. When they ain't got no jobs themselves and Jimmy gets one, they tan in and helps him, causes he ain't very strong yet, ye see." "What precentage do you charge him on. a job ?" " Hey ?" querried the youngeter. "I don't know what you mean." "1 mean what part of the money do you give Jimmy, and how much do you keep out of it ?" "Yon bet yer life I don't keep none; I ain't no such sneak as that." "So you give it all to him, do you ?" "Yes, I do. All the boys give up what they gets on his job. I'd like to catch any feller sneaking on a sick boy, I would. The shine being completed, the re- porter handed the urehin a quarter, say- ing : "1 guess you're a pretty good fellow, so you keep ten cents and give the rest to Jimmy there:" "Can -t do it, sir ; it's his customer. "Here, Jim." Ele threw him - the coin, and was off like a shot after a cus- tomer for himself, a veritable rOugh dia- mond.

There were several rather funny inci- dente that happened in connection with the Farmers' Institute, held in the City flail recently. On one of the days during which the sessions were held a well-known Fourth ward official, who had not yet wholly recovered from an attack of the grippe, was standing near one of the windows engaged in con- versation with a farmer friend, when an innocent little zephyr wafted its way to the spot, and ipenetrating his sandy whiskers, ticked his throat. He gasp- ed for breath a few moments, and then a loud sneeze made the building tremble. With the sneeze came his false teeth, which struck the payement below with a ghastly clatter. The toothless won- der smiled a eickly grin, and said to his companion : "That's hard luck, ain't "Naw !" answered the fanner. "Not 'half's bad as it moight. be.

We meet some queer people among the many who are constantly flitting into and out of this store, hitt an old man and his wife, upon whom I waited a few days ago, took the prize for pure, unadulterated simplicity. The couple were evidently on their first visit from the country. When I approaahed° them the old lady, Who was undoubted- ly master of the ceremonies, stated that they Wanted to purchase a soup tureen-. "'Do you want plated ware or sil- ver ?' I asked. "'Solid silver, ter be sure,' the wo- man responded, with a glance that, had I been anybody else than a salesman, would have frozen me. "After seeing a number of designs the old lady decided upon one and in- quired the price. "'One hundred and twenty dollars,' I answered, aa I called to the boy to take the article to the shipping room. " What i" she almost screamed, One hundred and twenty dollars for that? Wall, I swan.' For a few minutes they gazed at me as if I had expressed an intentiou of robbing them, after which they conferred together. Presently the old gentleman turned around, and in a quivering tone, said he guessed they'd better.buy a plated tureen, as that was just as good. * "We have several dozen designs in plated ware in stock, and,after critically examining each one, the old lady pluck- ed up courage enough to ask the Price of one that had only recently been pro- duced, and was selling for $18. When I mentioned the price, she looked blank- ly at her husband aud amid she guessed we didn't have anything to suit them. As they were going out of the door, I overheard the remark: "What mighty dear stores these in Detroit are, ter be sure.

The Boston Courier says: The ex- periences of the fire marshal with the Polish Jews who have plied their trade in this city have often been amusing enough. Their first refuge in being ex- amined is to feign an ignorance of any language in which they -may be address- ed. One man brought his Wife to the office in answer to the summons of the - marshal, but assured the latter she could not speak English, nor yet Polish, nor Hebrew. Being forced to own that she did speak something, she admitted with reluctance that she knew -a little German, and in this tongue the marshal began his examination. In a moment when the woman was off her guard he had recourse to an old and simple but effective ruse. "18 that a mouse under your. chair?" he asked suddenly. The fat old Jewess jumped from her seat with a shriek that would have done credit to a locomotive,proving that even a wicked old hag like herself was still a woinan where mice were concerned. "Then you do understand English ?" the marshal said blandly.
