finger—"that's two. - There's Tooter"—
a third finger—"that's three. And
there'a Shanks"—the last finger went
down -;--"that's four."
A warning grunt from the Captain,
Who added:
"Th -there's your th-thn-thumb left.
Th-th-ithat's her I" e'
"Yes," said Diamonds ; "my thumb,
may stand for the Charmer-" And, as
he gazed upon his closed fi era, which
represented the Charmer's mirers, he
added ': "And there we ar four of
us, kneeling at herfeet. N w, only one
of us an win her. We all love her ;
andemy idea—mine and To y's togeth-
er—is 'to fix things so that al can have
a fair shake. And We've_ hit upon this
We plan ; which is to put our pieces --
&paper into a hat, with n mbers ori
each o 'em, and then deal 'em out.
The man -that gets number one will have
the licit chance. If he shouldn't awl
ceed—if the Charmer shouldn't happen
to freeze to him—why, then, he's out of
the rage, and number two comes in for
hi/chance. If two don't get in, why,
three tries it ; and, if three i bounced,
why, then four takes his turn !"
There was grant from Lofty, and his
eves began to close; but these -.mailer
trustworthy symptoms proved to be only
a false alarm. Toesy said: ,
..rui willing to ,draw."
"So am I," said I, although it cost me
an effort to say it.
"C -count me in," said Lo f ty.
"Well, then," resumed Diamonds, as
he tore out a leaf from his pocket. mem-
orandum book and divided. it into four
parts; you all understand that we agree
to abide, by the lots. There's to be no
sqaealii;', and every man is to have a
fair shaw."
With this understanding the slips of
paper were numbered and placed in
Diainond's hat.
"I'lLtake the one that's left," said he
magnanimously. "Here, Lofty, you
draw first."
The ,Captain put his big hand into
the hat and brought out one of the bits
of paper. We all watched him with in,
tense eagerness as he unfolded it and
read the number.
"S-s-seconcl, s -s -shake," said he.
"Number t -t -two."
I came next, and drew number three.
"Now, then," said Diamond , address-.
ing Toesy, "you'll be- either fi st or last.
Draw away"
Toeay put his foot into th INA, and
picked out one of the two remaining
slips of paper. I opened it fo him, and
held it before his eyes.
"Four !" said he in a tone of bitter dis-
appointment. "That settles ir e !"
"Probably it does," said iamonds.
"I'm first, but their ain't . o use in,
grumbling over luck !"
And so the fateful consult tion came .
to an end. Diamonds went utside the
tent, leaving behind him th-r; e sorrow-
ful, brokenhearted curiosities.
"H -le -hang me," said. the C ptain, "if
I wouldn't r -r -rather be the h -to -hog !"
But the very next evening 'here came
an unexpected ray of sunshin: into the
Oaptale's heart—and into mid e, too, for
that matter. Diamonds enter d the tent
while we were at supper, and made the
startling announcement that e was out
of the rice.
"Wb -what, wouldn't sea -she take
you ?" exclaimed Lofty.
"I don't say she woul n't take
me," said Diamonds, with ftezing
nity. "I simply remark that 'ne out of
this heta race.
In what manner Diamo ds made
known Iiis love to the Charm r, I never
knew. Neither did Toesy or put any
impudeet questions to the Captain,
when, on the following day7h informed
us that the "s-s-gecond s-s-sh- e was no
It was enough for •'e to know
that my' own chance had co e at last,
and I seized upon it with . ot bade.
Miss Andrews listened to th. story of
my love, which I poured in o her ear
late one night after the exhi e ition was
over—lietened patiently, and when I
had. finiehed, said, -in her us al good-
humored way :
'Shaeks, Pve had one bus oand, and
that's qiiite enough for me. I'm never
going t0 marry* again. I th nk it's a
great deal Meer to love so kes than
men, because snakes don't to ake any
trouble.l' •
And that was how the Oh rmer dis-
posed of number three. For 0 any days
after these cruel words fell up n bis ear,
the Asiatic Skeleton eould n t, except
in a spirit of hollow ' mockery, be called
"animated." The color went out from
his cheek, his appetite failed hira, and
so far as it was possible for hide to do so,
he gre thin. Thoughts . f suicide
haunted his mind, and he eade such
fierce answers to the people 'ho ques-
tioned him about his weight a d parent-
age that many went away in ti e full be-
lief that he was not only a Asiatic
Skeleton? but a brute.
And. what of poote Toesy ? . When
I told. him that I, too,
was • at of the
race, and that I had made up my mind
to poison myself, he said to e in his
quiet way :
El
"I didn't suppose that my t
be worth anything, Shanks •
that I've got the chance,

He was full of hope and en husiasm,
which I ;could not share; but I agreed.
to help him in oompasing his 'I tter, and
so 1 did. He got a rose -tinted sheet of
paper, ancl sat down with me i the tent
at supper time.
"I'll write it myself," said e when I
offered to perform that task for him.
"She'll think more of it."
He took up the pea between his toes,
and set for some time in dee medita-
tion. Then he wrote :
"My dear Charmer, I now take my
pen in hand---" and then he :topped.
"Say, Shanks, this here .n't do,"
and he read me what he had writ-
ten. "I don't take ray pen in and, you
lui"Well, make it foot." said I.
Toesy Wok a fresh sheet of leper and
wrote again :
"My .clear Charmer, I now take my
pen in Foot--"
"That's worse than the ot ea" said
he. "Suppose I make it toes ? '
"Beg n it some other way
gutted.
"Bat, that's the only way t . ere is to
begin ''a letter, unless y u say :
'Yours of the seventh duly eeeived,'
and you know I haven't ree- 'ved any
from her."
It was a good while before oesy got
a start on his letter ; but at las he drop- •
ped the hand, foot and toes, and suc-
ceeded in confiding to the r se -tinted
paper the story of his absorb ng love.
And at the top of the sheet he drew the
))
pie are of a heart pierced ' by 4 ' n` ke.•
He put the envelope containing he
precious epistle into the box of snit es,
where he knew the Charmer would lid
-it, and waited with feverish anxiety he
result of 'him declaration. Alas, p or
Toesy ! The very next daytiMitn. n
drelee came to him, and patted him on
the head, and said she was really leo ry
for him—real ; but she couldn't Ma re,
him—she never should marry any, 00 y,
and he must forget her, and not th ik
any more about the matter.
Poor Toesy ! I think he did try to
forget her bravely. Diamonds for, ot
her, I know, for he married the ye r af-
ter. AO. so did Lofty, a woman f is
own exalted height. The ,Auirna ed
Asiatic Skeleton -forgot her, as th. it
of autobiography shows ; but Shaw ci ng
to the memory of his love while life 1 st-
ed. Two or three years ago I saw h.m.

ing with his toes ; and he was fond still
of drawing the picture of a heart pierced

A Hard Shell Baptist on P s
, byterians. 1
I'le, Independent, an organ of theft
Congregationalists, publishos a
sermon by ' a well-known Hard -Shell
Baptist preacher, who. is familiariy
known as Club -Ax Davis. We quo a
few paragraphs:'i i I,
I '
" God didn't make us alike, my breth-
ren;but every man had his own sphere.
When God has a place to fill, He makes
a men and puts him in it. I can see good
pints in everybody ; and as for the Pres
byterians, they are a long way ahead of
us Baptists and Methodists in scino
things. They raise their children bet-
ter than any people on the face of the
earth. Only a few days ago a Meth d-
ist elass leader said to me : ' Brother,
Club -Ax, I ' was borii a Methodi t,
I WWI raised a Methodiet, and
by the grace of God II hope to die a
Methodist ; but, thank God, I've got a
Presbyterian wife to raise my children.'
And, I believe, my brethern, if the Lcird
should open the way for me to naa ry ,
agile' I'd try my best to find a Presby-
terian woman, and run my chance of
breakin' her into the saving doctrines of
feet-Washin' and immersion afterward.
" As I said before,they raise their
children a heap better than we do. They
behave better in church, and keep Sun-
day better; 1 and read the Bible and
!eerie the catechism better than ours do.
I declare, my brethern, their children
are lariat that Westminister catechism by
the time they can begin to talk plain.
" It ain't three weeks since I was out
a-cattle-huntin '—for two of my yearlin's
had strayed off--- and I ,stopped in at old
.Brother Harkey's, on 'Mud Ureek, and
took dinner. He's a deacon in the Pres-
byterian church over; thar. Well, as
true as I stand here, !my brethern,' Sis-
ter Harkey had her little gal a-standin'
right before her, with her toes just even
with, the crack o' the floor,and her hands
was a-hangin' c.lown by l her side, and her
mouth -turned 4 like a chicken when it
drinks, and slapiwas *putting this ques-
tion ito her out o' that catechism : ' What
are ,the benefits ,which itt this life do
either accompany or flow ftom justifica-
tion, adoption, and sanctification?' Now,
the question itself was enough to break
the child down. But when she had to
begin and say that question all over (for
that's the way it was in the book), and
then hitch the answer to it, and which
all put together made this—' The bene-
fits Which in this life do either accom-
pany `or flow from justification,. adoption,
seien e, joy in the Ioly Ghost, increase
/
and sanctification, are peace of con -
of grace, and perseverance therein to
the end '--I thought the child was the
greatest wonder I'd ever seen in all
my life. She tuck it right through, too,
without balkin' or missin' the first word.
And she spoke so sweet, and she looked
so like an angel, that before I know'd lit
the tears was a-runnin'' down my cheeks
as big as a buck -shot. I've Seen the day
when I could- have mauled and split a.
thousan' rails quicker and easier than I
could have leant that thing and said I it
off like she did. Now, my brethern,
Lily -
self.
I/
that child didn't -understand or now
the meaning of one word o' that. It
put me up to all I knew to take it in ' , But just let that Presbyterian
young 'un grow up, and every word Id*
that catechism will come back to her, and
her character will stiffen up under iti,atlid
she'll have the 'backbone of :the inittter
in her for life.
"1 tell.yon, my brethren," he co ti
ued, " if our children had a little more
Catechism and the Presbyterians a ht le
less, it would be better for both.
" Then we don't pray in our families,
like they do. I know their prayers are
mighty long, 'and they pray all over
creation, but, after all, it's the right
way. It's better than prayin' too little.
Now, my father and mother were good
Baptists, and raised their children to be
honest and industrious ; but I never
heered one of them pray in my life, and
I was 'most a grown min before I ever
prayed a prayer myself."
A Dog Story.
On e of these robberies—they were
both rounds of beef—was followed by
such eonsequences to Di that I am tempt-
ed to add them to Diis story. I was
I sitting in my library reading the Father
of the Church,, when I heard a hue and
cry, and soon after our cook came in
with A. rueful face, and "Please, Sir, Di
has stolen the beef for to -morrow's ',din-
ner" to -morrow being Sunday, and the
weigh of the beef fifteen pounds. Now
the niansion at Forest I Edge is not so
poor 5n resources that i the loss even of
that quantity of bee e;teeuld have been
coupled with ,absolutf,stirvateion. Proed
of this feeling, and mishing, I moist own,
to screen Di, I said, " Get some't:thi
else," and dismissed the wok, whir h'
d.
a reckoning on Monday mir-ninr lt,iiIt
her mistress. But it is not of '11-eiatib t
of Di that I am writing. Not caring, o
go on with the Father, of the Chzfrc t,
and curious to see what Di would o
with the beef, I went 4 out to look f r
her, and found ler stretched out in the
sun es sleep and round. as a New -Cale-
donian chief who has eaten his third
wife. There, was po sign of the beef ex-
cept in Di's person, and. it turned out
afterwards that having eaten half of it
there, and then, she had buried the rest
which she was seen to dig up and devour
some days after. Of course I should not
enter into these details unless I had
some hing else to telll Di's general
health is of the rudest ' kind, but a few
clays after she had eaten tbe last of the
beef she was seen to be : ailing. She
could scarcely ) drag one leg , after the
other, and had hardly the. heart to wag
her tail. As there were reapers bout

ire* 1 niade had
been at her Old tricks, had stolen the
men's dinners 'and been kicked for it, as
is the fasliion Of laborero to their Wives
'iad dogs. This belieWas `strengthened
by a lump on Di's right side, from which
we thought that one of her ribs was
broken. Sc 'she limped. and crawled
about for some days, till one morning
that very cook from whose larder the
beef had been stolen, and who for all of
that was very fond of Di, whenepatting
and stroking , her pricked her finger.
"Why, what's this sticking out of Di's
side ?" she solid to the, Pennywi-nk. So
Pennywink felt Di's side, and then they
saw that out Of it stdod the point of an
iron skewer:, !The said Peunywiuk is a
man more of aation than of words. He
seized the point of the skewer,- and by
main force pulled it out of. Di's side ; a
bit of surgery which must hay been noe
easy job, as the skewer was eight inches
long and had ono end twisted rbund in a
drcle ; just one of those horrible inven-
tions of the enemy in short which butch-
ers !put into rounds of beef for the ex-
prees purpose of tormenting fathers of
families who have to carve for their
children, -an act which we sometimes
think will hinder a merciful Providence
from allowing any butcher to enter the
gates of Paradise. And so the secret of
Di's illness was out. She had bolted
that iron skewer when she, devoured the
beef, and it having somehow got cross-
wise in her chest, out just at her
last rib on the fight side. She evidently
suffered great Ipain while it was inside

Church Sleepers.
"Do wake up, brother," said a minis-
ter in an undertone, to a sleepy preach-
er in the pulpit behind him.
" Well, do preach something interest-
ing, then," was the wide-awake reply.
The minister who advised his drowsy
parishioner to carry a little spice, or
something of that kind to church to put
,in his mouth when he found. himself un-
able" to keep awake, received. in return a
yery sensible suggestion as to the pro-
priety of putting the spice into tke ser-
mon. There is no doubt but weariness
and the bad air of unventilated rooms is
largely responsible for the drowsiness of
many persons who, if not fit for pillars
in, the ,church, make ; very sound
,seleepers. But it is nevertheless true
that in mal instances the quickest
way to w ke up a congregation
would be to wake up the preacher.
Good old Bishop Aylmer one day looking
upon his drowsy flock, commenced and
read them a chapter from the Hebrew
Bible, to which of course. they listened
with open-mouthed astonishment, only
to be reproved by the good man for
sleeping when he preaching what. they
could understand and 'waking up when
he was reading something they could
not.
It has been very sensibly -remarked
that the best remedy for an inattentive
audience is to give them something to
attend to. It is not sufficient to make a
great noise, for the miller sleeps while
the mill is grinding, and; wakes when it
stops. There are other things which
banish sleep more effectually than mere
clamor. There must be something to
think of, spoken by some one who has
thought of the matter himself.
The Sympathetic Man.
A mother and babe were among the
passengers at the Central' depot yester-
day. She had the child carefully wrap-
ped up, and this fact, perhaps, attracted
the attention of a big fellow with a three
story overcoat and. a rusty satchel in his
hand. Sitting down beside her he re-
marked: I ' '
"Cold weather for such little people,
isn't it ?" I
She faintly nodded. I I
"Does he seem to feel it much ?" con-
tinued the man.
She shook her Wad.
" Is it a healthy child?' he asked,
seeming greatly interested.
" He was up to a few moments ago,"
she snappe4 out, " but I'm afraid he's
smelled so much whiskey that he'll have
the delirium tremens before night !"
The man got right up ancl walked out
of the room; and was afterward seen buy-
ing cloves and cinnamon.
The Penalty of Kissing,a Widow.
The London of Feb. 10, (a conservative
newspaper, the first number of which
appeared Feb. 3,) has a department en-
titled "The Whispering Gallery," made
up of items of rumor and of facts of more
or less interest, and of which the follow-
ing is a specimen: "A Glasgotv Widow
has brought an action against a man for
kissing her ; the damages are laid at
£500. Your widow is usually a retiring
creature, but itis not often that she sets
so high a price on her favors. In the
1
present instance the exorbitancjy is prob-
ably a mark of inconsolable a iction ; a
sign that the lady has retired from the
business of matrimony ; a , sor of 'man
traps and spring -guns' anuo ncement,
warning all possible trespassers from this
fair garden of viduity. It will probably
succeed as it deserves. You Scot -
is
susceptible, but he is also thrifty. That
it is not for e-veryoue to go to Corinth is
especially true north of the Tweed ; and
if things are always thus, it is no won-
der." ' 1
A Remarkable Career.
Mr. John Pope Hennessy, who is go-
ing out to Hong Kong as the English
Governor, with a salary of £5,000 a year,
has had a very remarkable career. • In
1859, when he was a clerk in a govern-
ment office, about 25 years of age, and
with about £80 a year stipend, he was
selected by Cardinal Wiseman to stand
for King's County at the general election
which the then Lord Derby had sudden-
ly announced. The young clerk went
down, saw that he was sure to win, tele-
graphed to London on the ere of the
election t* resign his appointment, and
was returned at the head of the poll. He
made no particular figure in Parlia-
ment, but remained there till 1865, when
he lost a re-election. He was thus left
out in. the cold, till the third Derby-
-Disraeli Ministry was formed. One of
the first things it did was to give Mr.
Hennessy the Governorship of Labuan.
There he settled, for a while and married.
Then he was promoted, to the West coast
of Africa, then to the Leeward Island*
and now goes to Hong Kong.
