An Irishman says he can see no earth- ly reason why women should be allowed to become medical men. —A clergYman' who married four coupieaia one hour the other day, re- marked to a friend that it was 'pretty fast work.' Not very,' responded his friend; only four knots an hour.' —A girl recently discovered that she possessed in a wonderful degree the faculty of mind-reading. She operated on her lover, and discovered that he was going to kiss her, and the event showed that she was right. _A shopkeeper in a small way of tieing once asked an Irishman where Purgatory was. Pat, with native wit, replied,. "Sure, an' isn't it purgatory enough for you striving to make a living for yourself and your family." The lo- cality may be anywhere, wherever that is experienced, according to Pat's ver- sion. a _A little five year old, who was hungry one night recently, just at bed- time, but didn't wish to ask directly for something more to- eat, put it in this way—" Mother, are little children who starve to death happy after they die ?" A good big slice of bread and butter was the answer. --Mademoiselle X. recently met one of her old schdol friends who had been married a short time back. " Well," said she, "are you happy? Do you set along well together?" " Happy ? Xes, without doubt. But we squabble a great deal." "Already ! And about what ?" "Paul pretends always that it is he who cares the most for me and I'm sure it is 1 that care most for him.' —An impecunious young lawyer re- cently requested a private interview with one of the wealthiest men in Liver- pool. As soon as the door was closed the young lawyer said earnestly, "Life is a burden to me unless you consent to my marriage with your daughter. come to ask your consent." The wealthy man, who did not have much use for la.wyers, replied, "To which one of my daughters de you refer, I have three. "Sir, I refer to which ever one you want me to have," was the candid reply. • —One (liy Billy and Sammy were playing in a mud .hole, and Billy said— "Now, Sammy, let's play we was a barayard. -You be the pig and lie down and wailer, and I'll be the bull and belier like everything." So they got down on theft hands and knees, and Sammy lie went into the dirt and wal- lowed while Billy bellowed like distant thunder. By-and-by Sammy came up muddy—you never saw such a muddy little fellow—aud he said—" Now, you'll be the pig, and let me beller." But Billy said—" I ain't a very good pig, except for dinner, and it'll be time 'miff for you to beller when yer mother sees yer. —A short time ago some gentlemen cruising on a part of the Irish coast ob- served that about the same hour every day a boat, containing two men and a woman, landed its passengers on the shore, and after a short time returned with them. Inquiring the reasons for these daily excursions, " My man," said one gentleman, "what makes you come here every day? Is it that you like It!" " Oh, your honors, not at all, at all," was Pat's reply; "but faix, your honors, the wife and me's going oat soon to Australy, and so we're practis- ing the say -sickness, that we may be used to it when we start." "Well, and do you find yourself improving ?" "Ah, sure, your honors, the wife's sick every day a but she's getting on purtity any- how." So with good wishes from the gentlemen, the worthy couple were left to qualify themselves for their prospec- tive voyage, by " practising the say - sickness. ' The Inspiration of Must. When Abraham' Lincoln, during the war, told his Wife that it was her duty to visit the hospitals and do what she could to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded and the dying, she replied, im- pulsively : " I can not, and I will not." "Very well," said her husband; " if you can not, you can not, but your will not robs your can not' of all effect." But you know," Airs. Lincoln re- sponded, 1` how wea. and wretched the sight of suffering makes me. It would be mortifying for the President's wife to visit a hospital and faint away." , " Not so mortifying as not to go," said the gentleman, with a smile. "If you faint, you -can recover as soon as possible, and jump up and try it again. The crisis has proved to me, my dear, that nothing is impossible in the way of unselfish endurance." Mrs. Lincoln, like most of her sex, was cool and ready in an emergency, but limp and unnerved after the su- preme moment had passed. The sight of blood did not particularly disturb her, but a hurt •or a wound struck to her very heart, as she expressed it, and, in consequence, this hospital -visiting seemed more than she could possibly endure. But she said no more to her husband, having determined to fight it out alone. The next morning after the conversation related above, Mr. Lin- coln accidentally met his wife as she was about to pass to her carriage. "Where are you going ?" he asked. To Armoury Square Hospital," she replied. "o faint away ?" he inquired, play- _ fully. "To do the best I can," his wife re- sponded. That's the talk," said Mr. Lincoln. " That is all any of us can do. Happy are those who are strong enough to do their best, and then have grace suf- ficient to leave the result where it be - twigs," There is no doubt that Mrs. Liticoln possessed a supersensitive nervous or- gaeization, and that this, wrought upon as it was by subsequent events, was at. laat the cause of her meutal breakdown as well as her death. Even at this time she was easily excited or prostrat- ed, and it must have taken much more courags and love of her kind than she was ever credited with to enable her to overcome this horror of physipal suffer- ing. But she did overcome it, and most bravely. "As soon as I had spoken to just one poor fellow," this lady told a friend, " my heart stopped fluttering in my throat, and beat quite normally in its natural place. When I asked him if there was anything I could do for him, he smiled and whispered, Something sour.' I asked permission to prepare eome lemonade, and it was granted. After I had given him a few spoonfuls he whispered, `Oh, that is heavenly !' Nome way this settled the whole busi- ness for me. If a few drops of a cooling drink were ao grateful as to be 'heaven- ly,' there was certainly something for me to do in these places, and the waCY to do it seemed made easy." Mrs. Lincoln certainly distinguished herself at the bedside of these unfor- tunates. Doctors and nurses all spoke well of her. She was obedient to hos- ipital discipline, and never presumed upon her position as wife of the Presi- dent. She would share the humblest or the most disagreeable duty with -the nurses, and her coming was always eag- erly looked for by the convalescents, because she invariably brought the deli- cacies which they most desired.—Chris- tian Union. Her "Erastus," Affection oftenblinds us to the de- fects of those who are the objects of it. Faults meat glaring to other people are not seen by us, or, if seen, are over- looked in that spirit of charity for which love is but another name.. It is often pathetic to witnesithis self -blindness on the part of faithful women whose idols • have turned to clay. A colored woman, 'familiarly known as Betty, had married a rather promising young negro, for whom she had the most genuine. affec- tion. Soon after marriage, the hus- band, whose name was Erastus, be- came one of the most shiftless and worthless -of negroes, and finally was so openly dishonest and dissipated that he was shunned by even persons of his own color. This threw the support of the family upon poor Betty, but she accepted the burden without a murmur. No one ever heard her speak a word in con- detnnation of the disgraceful Erastus. Her affection for him seemed to abide and endure through all the disgrace and misfortune he brought upon her. Her tame submission to her husband's_ ill- treatment provoked some of the white ladies who _gave Betty employment for the support of herself and children, and the support of Erastus also. One day, an indignant and outspoken and perhaps unwise woman, aroused to ire by the report of a fresh cruelty on the part of Erastus, said to Betty,— "See here, 'Betty, what makes you live with that worthless fellow any longer?" "Ma'am ?" said Betty, with a look of amazement in her large dark eyes. " Why don't you leave -him ? ' " Leab 'Rastas, ma'am ?" "Yes, leave him." W'y, lady, 'Rastas my hus- band." "He don't deserve the name," said the woman, angrily. "What does he do, or what has he ever done, -for your support ?" Ty, lady, he—be—" "Now, Betty," said the woman, de- cidedly, "you know that he don't do a thing but live on Your earnings and abuse you." " Well, lady, he—he—" "Weil, come now, Betty; tell me of a single virtue that he has." Poor Betty hung her head, and seem- ed striving to think of something to say in defence of Erastus. - Loyal Betty ! You see ! said the woman, after waiting a monient or two in silence, "The fellow is soutterly worthless that, with all your devotion, you can- not truthfully say a good word for him." Betty looked up, with tears in her eyes,and then the face lighted and a faint smile came into it, as she said,— " Well, lady, 'Restos aint no great worker but, lady, dar aint a culled man in dis town what kin play de fiddle, an' whistle Yankee Doodle' like my 'Rastas kin !" -The Interest on Five Cents. "What is the yearly interest on five cents ?" asked a witty person of Mr. Hunter's little boy, who was doing his problems on a big slate in the corner of the piazza, one summer evening. The boy looked up bashfully, and had no answer to make, for he was not one of those children quick at repartee, but his father answered for him. "By way of answer," he said, "I'll tell you a little story, as President Lin- coln used to say. It is a true one, and I shall begin, as fairy stories do, with "Once upon a time.' Once upon a time, then, on a very hot summer mornings -a young man stepped upon the platform of a street car, in- tending to ride to the depot whence the steam cars started,for his country home. It was very early; and the seats were full of labourers in their working clothes, with their lunch -kettles in their hands. There was -but one woman amongst them a very poorly clad, old lady, who was rummaging in her pocket with a face which, naturally florid, was growing crimson with exertion, and perhaps mor- • tification. • "Fare, ma'am; I can't wait all day,' cried the conductor, sternly, to this woman. "1 declare I've lost the five -cent piece out of a hole in my pocket, and its all I had,' cried the old lady. " Then I shall stop the car at the next corner, so that you can get out,' said the conductor wrathfully. "Would you really -do that ?" asked the old lady. "1 certainly don't pay passengers' fares out of my own pocket, said the conductor. e • . - At this, a young passenger, who had a rural look, fished from his vest pocket a second five -cent piece, silver in those days, and handed it to the conduator; "For her," he said laconically; "go ahead." The car moved on, the conductor droppedthe money into his coat-tail pocket. "Thank yea, young man," said the elderly lady,with a nod; you've probab- ly saved ray life." " No obligation whatever, ma'am," replied the youth, who had been taught manners at the village school as well aS at home; and then he fell to thinking that he should be sorry to see his mother in such circumstances, and so shabby, and he hoped he never should. The rusty black alpaca ; the poor, cheap shawl ; the ill-fitting slippers on the white stockinged feet, all told a story of poverty, and how early in the morning for an old woman to be out. He supposed she was going to work --to sew, perhaps. It might be to nurse some one. She was still in the car when he left it to take the train for his own home. He was young and healthy, but he was not in a happy mood': for he had failed in the object of Ms city visit. Neither, despite his generosity, were -his ppoie:ckess . toverflowing even with five -cent His father had been a wealthy store- keeper but led away by the fever of speculation, had lost all that he pos- sessed in a few days, as people said, 'in Wall Street:" .flaving done this,he went into the barn one moreing and hung himself. He left a widow, always deli- cate, and a daaghter who resembled her. Neither of them could do anything for themselves or each other ; the boy was their sole dependence. All that now remained was a few hundred dollars, and he must mon enough for the two women to live on when, this was gone. Being a good book-keeper, he had no ilbubt that he could get a position in the city, but in the course of a fortnight's sojourn he had discovered that Broad- way could be paved with good book- keepers. He laad no recommendation but that of the unknown, though worthy, old minister of his native place. People with friends at court slipped into the good places, and he was going back be- cause his money was all gone, and he could not afford to wait longer. So he went home. Of course his mother had another turn. And equally, of course, Sarah wept as usual. After a while, he went to the city again, but nothing could be found by which money could be earned. At last, on one desperate day, when the black clouds hung heavily over his life, giving no glimpse of silver lining, a person who had some interest in them, met him in the street. "Have you found a place yet ?" cried this personage. `n` .No," sighed the unhappy young ma Madam Frank's book-keeper died yesterday," said the other. "Take my card and Call there. It is a chance, perhaps. Madam Frank imports laces." The young man seized upon it as a drowning man seizes a straw. He pre- sented himself to the managing clerk of Madam Frank's large establishment, .hardly noticing an old lady dressed in black velvet who stood near a grate that burned in the room, with her back to- ward him. The manager took the card coldly,and had remarked—`There are many appli- cants whom we know; and really, it would scarcely be worth while to waste your time by asking you to call again," when the old lady turned suddenly— "1 think I might be consulted, Mr. Smith," said the old lady. "1 should like to talk with this .young gentle- man." • "I beg pardon, Madam Frank, I thought I was acting in accordance with your instructions," replied the manager —and bowing, he retired. The -old lady took the card of intro- duction, and led the way into an inner office. "You don't know me I see," she said. And you are not half so fresh and happy - looking as when you paid my fare on that early morning when I had not five cents to pay it with. Your clothes are worse, too, while mine are better. Mr. M—'s recommendation is sufficient. I engage you." And the young, man to his utter astonishment recognized, in the rich woman in velvet and diamonds, the woman he had thought so pitiably poor. "How sorry you were for pie !" said Madam Frank. "1 could see it in your eyes. I had been travelling. There had been a railroad accident,.and I escaped by a miracle. My shawl and my dress were torn from me; my satchel was left behind. I knew just how I laoked, and how you regarded me. I was as thank- ful as though I could have called a cab and been driven wherever I pleased, and I hope I shall be able to return your kindness." " She did," added Mr. Hunter. I've no doubt you have guessed already that I am the, hero of my own story. Madam Frank first employed me; then took me into partnership, aid finally I married her daughter. You all know Mrs. Hunter, so I will not apologise for saying that in giving me this daugh- ter she bestowed the crowning favour upon me. My mother lived and died, in comfort. My sister is well married. I am a very happy man,and all -my prosperity simply arose from an impulse of good nature. I call it the interest on five cents. The Masher and the Rustic . Maiden. - John Henry, the masher, Stood on the corner with- one of his kind Waiting for a girl to come along whom he might crush. At last a thin young woman from the rural districts came by and John Henry thought he had found her. As she passed be said something about her being bony; but he went after her, and catching up, he said: "Good afternoon, miss." "Good afternoon," she replied, sizing biro up as if she was going to put a price on him. • "Ahem, miss; ahem. I—ah "—hea hesitated. "Well," she continued, coolly, "why don't you bark !" " Bark ! Bark ! I don't quite under- stand," hattaid, "Oh, you deal ? Well, I might have known better than to give you credit for somuch intelligence, but in our country a puppy that has had any advantage of training always barks when he finds a bone." _ Since that date John Henry is a changed man.—Merchant Traveller. • Forty -Two Thousand Birds' Eggs. A curious feature of the National Mu- seum in Washington is the zoological section, or the department devoted to birds' eggs. It has about 42,000 birds' eggs packed away in little trays placed in cases along the walls of the building. The eggs in the collection vary in size from that of the tiniest humming bird to that of the giant bird, whose remains are found in Madagascar. There is a little egg of a tiny humming bird lying in a diminutive nest. The humming bird that made the nest and laid the egg is the smallest bird in the world. The little egg has a length or long diameter of three-tebths of an inch, and a short diameter of three-hundreths of an inch. The nest is one -twentieth of an inch across; Oife way, •and ninety -two -one - hundredths the other. =Mr. Bell, -the Manitoba sheep king, has returned from Montana, where he purchased 9,000 sheep, 3,000 for mutton and 6,000 ewes and lambs for breeding pinyors.

Laurence's Axis Cut Pebbles. The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, 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, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility hnpart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
