(A Letter front a Scotch Emigrant to his
Friend in Ettrick.)
Dear Tam, yestreen 1 got'your letter,
And thank the Lord it fared as better;
For though to you I maka rhyme cet,
Gude kens we've had an awhe time o't.
If after a' that we've come thro'

The final vote for emigration
-Wad stand some reconsideration.
And yet we're maybe name the waur eet ;
Things On the whole tire haudife forrit.
oor land allotment's noo fenced
And bit by bit we're settlin' down :
We've broken grand, we've in oar seed,
We've got a hoose abune nor head,
Sin' last I wrote. My faix, we're busy;
There's work oot here for inan and hizzie ;
Ane hardly kens what first to rin to,
For athing here's just to bigin to.
Ye mind yon little speak -in' body
That got sa fie on Fauldshope's toddy,

Eh, Tani! sic lees that crater tell'd
(Paid fort, naedolibt) when he upheld
That everybody coining hike
Had naething the-warld to fear -
That Mai family wad be guidit,
And a' their needfu' wants providit.
Oor wants; indeed! ahen first we landit,
We might amaist as weel been strandit
On some wild coast, where nae ane kenn'd us,

Thank God that's Past •, but even yet
We're no inclined just to forget
The words on emigration's meet -its

The promises the agent made ifs -

Ye let him scrauch till he was roopit!

To put God's house in the possession

And now that we've got by the worst,

The question o' oor daily breed,
"Is' a' we like? est a' we need?"
Second, "How decent folk can thole

"God -Marin' folk without a kirk;,
We're surely sittire e the mirk."
Thirdly, the subject oethe land -

And last, can we mak' silley oat ?

*Boston, the minister of Ettriek, and author
of "The Fourfold State," used on occasion to
conduct the psalmody himself,
trr.
"Q., •
Gaieties. _ .
-" That's a Madonna after Raphael,"
said. the Fifth Avenue picture dealer.
"Indeed !" was the reply; "what's she
after him for ?"
-" Pa, why does a man break a prom-
ise so readily ?' "Because, iny ion, it
is so easy to make" another one."
-Said Brougham, when he was a
stenggling lawyer: "Circumstances
alter cases, but I wish I could get hold
of some cases that would alter my cir-
cumstances."
-Master George (allowed for the
first time to see his two new little sis-
ters, with a vivid•recollection of the fate
of the kittens-" Which wall ma keep?
I say that one." -
-" Come, now, Bertie, kiss your
little sister and make up with her," said
amamma to her little ten year old boy.
"What! the Pawnee Chief bow low to
pale face Cry Baby! Mother, you ask
too much."
-" Did you hear that lecture last
night ?" asked 'Williams of his neighbor
Beasley. "No "replied Beasley, " my
wife wasn't at home."
-Lady to Hale girl just beginning
school life; "Emma, what do you do
in school?.Do you learn to read?"
Emma shakes her head. "Do yOu learn
to write ?" Another shake. "Then
what do you do? "-" I wait for it to
be out."
-As they reached the other end of
the Don bridge he said. "Yu must
pay your toll„ Miss Edith." "What is
that?" she innocently asked. Then he
kissed her. A few moments after ;she
remarked, "I don't like this side of
the town; let's go back."
•
-A little girl in much excitement
rushed into the parlor, which was full
.ofacompany, and exclaimed, "Mamma,
just think of it. "-" Think of what
darling ?"-" Our cat has a, whole lot of
twins and I didn't even know she was
married."
-"Ise got a complaint ter make,"
said Jim Webster to his employer, an
Austin merchant.-" What is it ?"-
"The book-keeper kickedme, Bah. I
don't want no book-keeper to kick
me. "-" Of course he kicked you. You
don't expect me to tend to everything,
do you? I can't look after all the little
details of the business myself." -Texas
Siftings.
-Lady in search of country - board -
"You have plenty of fresh eggs ?"
Farmer-" Millions of 'em, lady; mil-
lions of 'em."-" And fresh butter ?"
"Tons of it, lady; tons of it.-" And
pure milk ?" "Oceans of it, lady;
oceans of it."-" And mosquitoes ?"
,` Billions of 'em, lady; billions of-
er-what did you say ?" Lady -"Mos-
quitoes." Farmer-" Oh, there ain't a
skeeter on the farm."
•
- A Baptism.
A clergyman tells the following:
"A woman came to me with twins to
have them baptized.
"'What names will you call them?'
I asked.
Cherubim and Seraphim,' replied
their mother.
"'Why?' I asked in ,astonishment.
Because,' she replied, `de pra'r
book says, "de cherubim and seraphim
continually do cry," an' dese yere chil'en
do nufin' else."
The Difference.
Before Marriage. -How much are
those sealskin sacques ?"
"Two hundred dollars."
"Is that all? Haven't you anything
finer, I want to make a present to a
young lady."
"Nothing."
"All right. I'll take one."
After marriage.
"How much is that a yard ?"
"Three dollars."
"Nothing cheaper ?"
"Yes. Here is some for seventy-five
cents."
"Well, I only want it for my wife.
You may give me five yards of that
seventy-five cent cloth."
Incongruity.
"1 believe I'll get married- and settle
down. I wish you would look around
1 and pick me out a good wife," said John
Bingham, a Dallas dude, to rs. Morris.
"What sort of a wife do you want ?"
asked Mrs. Morris, who is a very sen-
sible woman. •
"In the first place, she must be beau-
tiful."
"What else ?"
"She must be modest."
"What else ?"
" She must be musical and well-edu-
cated."
"Anything else ?"
" She must be worth $250,000 in her
own right."
"If that sort of a lady marries a
fellow like you, she will have one other
qualification," said Mrs. Morris.
"What's that ?"
"She will have to be erazy."-Arkan-
saw Traveler.
Use and Qualities of Lettuce.
Lettuce is one of the most popular of
salads, in which state it is served in a
variety of Ways. It is also occasionally
stewed and eaten in the same manner as
spinach, and forms an ingredient in
many vegetable soups. Some of-, the
varieties furnish a beautiful garnish for
meats, and in lobster and chicken salads
it is considered indispensable in its sea-
son.
"Its juice contains a narcotic princi-
ple somewhat like opium, which is in
small proportion when young, but in-
creases with the age of the plant. This
principle has not the constipating effects
of opium. A tea prepared of its leaves
is sometimes used in cases of diarrhea."
-White.
"In a raw state, lettuce is emolient,
cooling, and in some degree laxative;
easy of digestion, but containing little
nourishment."
Lettuce in its perfection, is, like the
cabbage, largely an artificial production,
hence care must be used in the selection
of the plants that produce the seed, or
the finer qualities of the plant will be
lost through reversion.
"Seeds not saved from good heads will
not produce good heads, even with the
hest of culture."
,The purchaser therefore should pro-
cure -his seed only from reliable sources.
It is said that plants grown from seed
two years old, head better than from
that one year ,old.
Lettuce succeeds best in rielt, moist
soil, and develops beat when. grown. in
rather cool, moist weather. A poor soil
and a hot, dry exposure, though it may
produce a small, tolerable lettuce early
in spring, or- late in autumn, will in
summer produce .only plants that soon
run, to seed, and prove nearly worthless
at the table. The richer anl more
mellow the soil, the -finer will be the
heads produced, and the more rapidly
the plants are grown, the more tender
and brittle will be their quality: -Hus-
bandman.
Josh Billings and the -Bunco
S'teerer.
"Josh Billings" had a great hatred of
shams, humbugs and cant, says la New
York paper. Clever rogues - were his.
favorite study, and he was. greatly de-
lighted once at being taken -for a fresh
countryman by a bunco steerer. His
rough, careless dress, collarless shirt and
thickiloots'together with a queerly be-
nevolent arid confiding expression, seem-
ed to stamp the old gentleman as a prom-
ising subject. One day, strolling down
Broadway, a spruce young chap rushed
up to him and shook him warmly by the
hand. .
"Morton, my dear fellow," said he,
" howare you ?'
- I guess you're wrong, young man,"
replied Josh mildly..
"Why, ain't you Timothy Morton,. of
Syracuse ?"
No, sir. I'm James W. Bailey, of
Rochester."_
The young man apologized- and
went off, and two bloeks further on
his pal came' up to Josh, sprinkling
Why, Mr. Bailey, how do -you do?
How's.everybocly at Rochester ?'
"You're wrong,young man," said Josh,
with a childlike grin. "But I'm Timo-
thy Morton; of Syracuse."
Married Life.
Bachelor --1 have beard and read a
great deal about the miseries of married
men -those with children I mean -of
*their having to get up at night to get
the paregoric and to walk the floor with
a crying baby and so forth. How is it?
Do your children keep you awake' at
ni ht ?
arried Man -They do.
B. -With their crying?
- M. M. -Oh! no; they are quiet
enough, and sleep soundly, as a rule.
B. -How then are you kept awake.
M. M. -Well, I have six of them,
and I am kept awake thinking where
I'm to get the money to pay the rent to
keep a roef over their heads. ,
_B. -Well, after the rent is paid?
M. M. -Then there's the grocer's
bill, the butcher's bill,coal, wood, cloth-
ing, boots and shoes. After one bill is
paid I am kept awake wondering where
I'm to get the money to pay the next,
and so on .
B. -Well, after all the bills are
paid?
M. M. -Then the rent is due again?
Bachelor pursues his way in deep
thought. -Boston Courier.
A Schoolboy Hero.
What an amount of courage it takes
to stand up and acknowledge a fault,
and how much more courage to acknow-
ledge an act that involves punishment! -
Yet what commands the respect of
teacher or schoolmates more thani this
moral bravery? The boy or girl who
will not allow another to rest under the
shadow of wrong that they did not
commit is always trusted. Truth is al-
ways recognized. The following inci-
dent, taken from the " Sunday:School
Advocate," is an instance of moral
bravery:
"Two boys were in a schoolroom
alone together, and exploded some fire-
works, contrary to the master's express
prohibition. The one boy denied it.
The other, Ben Christie, would neither
admit nor deny it, and was severely
flogged for his obstinacy. When the
bora got alone again -
Why didn't you deny it?' asked
the real offender.
Because there were only we two,
and one of us must have lied,' said
Ben.
"‘ Then why not say I did it?'
g" Because you said you didn't, and I
would spare the liar.' .
"The boy's heart melted. Ben's
moral gallantry subdued him. When
school reassembled the young culprit
marched up to the ;master's desk, and
said:
Please sir, I 'can't bear to be a
liar -I let off the squibs.' And he
burst into tears.
"The -master's eye glistened on the
self -accuser, and the undeserved punish-
ment he had hafticted on the other boy
smote his conscience. Before the whole
school, hand in hand with the culprit,
as if he and the other boy were joined
in the confession, the master walked
down to where young Christie sat, and
said, aloud :
"'Ben, Ben, lad -he and I beg your
pardon. We are both to blame."
"The school was hushed and still, as
other schools are apt to be when some-
thing true and noble is being done -so
still that they might almost have heard
Ben's big boy -tears dropping on his
book as he sat enjoying the moral tri-
umph which subdued himself as well as
all the rest. And when, from want of
something else to say, he gently- cried,
Master forever !' the loud shout of the
scholars filled the old man's eyes with
something behind his spectacles which
made him wipe them before he sat down
again."
-The most valuable postage stamp
known to collectors is said to be one
isSued by the -postmaster of Brattleboro',
Vermont, in 1847, which was suppressed
after a few weeks. A specimen is
110W worth six or eight hundred dollars.
-A manufacturer of Breslau, Ger-
many, has built an elastic fire -proof
chimney, fifty-one feet six inches high,
entirely of paper. The blocks, instead
of being brick or stone, were made of
layers of compreased paper, jointed with
some silicious cement.
-On Decernber 24th service was held
in the highest chapel in Europe, erected
at the foot of the Matterhorn, 8,000 feet
above the ocean. In ordinary • winters
not even the boldest chamois hunters
can reach such a height. On the same
day an -Italian, accompanied by three
guides, made an ascent of the Breithorn
from- Zermatt.

Pebbl s.
The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers nd
pedlars giVing assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the pu i1ic
enerally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two arti les
from which spectacle lenses can be maunfac urecl, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any ober
name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. I is
natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and ,eme Id,
and nearly is hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent st ne,
cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power Is placed immediately over the
centre of the grain feund in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, fres less
and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All
Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L. A. C. P., and can only be purchased from
