Sewing on Buttons.
It is 'bad enough to see a bach-
elQr sew on a button, but he is the
embodiment of grace alongside a
married man. Necessity has com-
pelled experience in the case of the
former, but the latter has,always de-
pended upon some one else for this
service, and fortunately, for the sake
of society, it is rarely he is obliged
to resort *. to the needle himself.
Sometimes the patient wife scalds
at the fair; or go to her church and her right hand, or runs a sliver un-
der thehail of the index finger of
that hand, and it is then the man
clutches the needle around the neey,
and forgetting to tie a knot in the
thrdad, conanences to put on a but-
ton. It is always in the morning,
and from five, to twenty minutes af-
ter he is expected to be down in the
street. j He laps the button. exactly'
on the site of its predecessor, and
pushes -the needle through one eye, r
and carefully draws the thread after,
leaving about three inches of it stick-
ing up for the lee way. He says to
himself: Well, if women delft have
the easiest Lime lever see." Then
he comes back the other way; and
gets the 'needle through the cloth
well enough, and lays himself out to
find the eye, but in spite of a great
deal of patient jabbing, the needle-
point persists in bucking against the
'worship by her prayer -book. There
is a line, indeed, beyond-. which this
-flirting ceases tobe a fine art, and
becomes quite busiaess-like and util-
itarian, a. practical operation in mak-
ing market and bagging a husband
--a useful but not always ideal re-
sult. Yet, as the world goes, a
great deal of true missionary work is
done by charming women in mana-
ging men in an artistic and legiti-
mate way, and the Virgin Mary has
net all the work. of such interces-
sion in her hands or in her. eyes, al-
though Henry Heine naughtily
called her the counter girl of the
Catholic Chnrch, who won over the

bad spent a good many years in In-
dia, and returned to his native
country with a large fortune, but
with the reputation of being, a
miserly nabob. After cordial inter-
changes of greetings, Dr. Lawson
accepted an invitation to dine with
his friend—said invitation being
backed with a piornise that he
should share in a. bottle of wine of
rare age and generous flavor. The
bottle was duly presented at table,
when it proved to be a pint, and the
Doctor was pressed to partake of it,
and express his opinion on the guar-
• ity. Eyeing first the diminutive
black imp of the cellar, and then
his host, Lawson pithily remarked,
"The wine may be guid. Indeed,
its verra fine ; but, 0 man, is lit
