Gaieties. -Speaking of men who leave their homes early in the morning, get back after dark and never see their children, a Boston paper tells this story: A man of that sort was hurrying away one morning when he found that his little bay had got up before him and was playing on the sidewalk. He told the child to go in. Child wouldn't. Man spanked him and went to business. Child went in,. howling. The mother said: What's the matter?" "Man hit me," blabbered the youngster. "What man ?" "That man that stays here Sundays." The fisheries question -Is there any- thing left in the pocket flask? -Of all the labor agitations, the most severe is that observed in the tramp when sonre one asks him to work. -A Frenchman, intending to compli- ment a • young lady by calling her a gentle Iamb, said: She is one mutton as is small." -It is said there,iate more lies told in the sentence, " I ain glad to see you," than in any other six words in the Eng- lish language. -A New York manufacturer is at work on a summer soap that will en- able mammas to get their daughters off their hands this season. -He at the horticultural show) - "This is a tobacco plant, my dear." She-" indeed how very interesting ! But I don't see any cigars on -Boiton is said to have been so named because the Pilgrim fathers and grandfathers foresaw that it would be- come the boss -town of the universe. -An original way of answering two questions at a time: " Here, Biddy, my darling, what's the time of night and where's the pertaty pudding ?' "It's eight sir." -A girl who ran away from home was arrested while disguised as an .old woman. Girl like she gave herself away by giggling when she saw a man's hat blow off. -"My dear," he said, "what is the difference between ingenious and in- genuous ?" "The difference between u and i my love," she replied, and he scratched his head for a diagram. -He was practical and had been making love on that basis. She was a little that way herself. " Can you cook ?" he inquired. " Can you supply everything to be cooked ?" she replied. It was a match. -Boston young lady (visiting in Chi- caga)-I am- very agreeably surprised in Chicago. I had no idea that it was a city of so much refinement and culture. Chicago young lady -Oh, yes ; we are making Chicks..o a very dizzy place for cult. -At one of our flower shows last winter two young talkative ladies were discussing their reasons for their fond- ness for particular flowers. " Oh, I do love heliotropes," said one, "they are es fragrant -they smell like vanilla ice cream !" -It is all right for a young man in- tending matrimony to find -out whether the young girl can cook; but it is still more important for the girl to find out whether the man is capable, by education and good habits,. to provide supplies for the kitchen. -" Talkin"bout hosses," said old Colonel lia.intuek in the Palmer lobby yesterday, " d'y' know it's -a fac'' sah, that a boss can't sten' the smell ofalco- hol ?"

" The ani- mals must be eternally trying to get away from the driver." stairs to get some, and, awaiting his re- turn, sat down on an, empty keg near the door. • .` The dog seemed uneasy, and, fancy. ing the light through the doorway an- noyed and distressed him, I pushed it to with my hand. The boy was some time gone (I found afterward he had been to ask his mistress if she would* like to have a last look at the old dog), and I sat there thinking over the job. The air of the cellar was close, and the smell of the wet sawdust on the floor was most unpleasant. Clank went the dog's chain against the wall or on the floor as he moved uneasily about, wondering, I dare say, what was my errand there. Then the movement ceased for a time, or, partly absorbed in my thoughts, I failed to notice it. The next minute I ,started, feeling something rub against ,my leg. Looking down, I saw two 'glaring eyes just at my knee. The dog was loose, the staple having worked its way Out of the damp and yielding mortar. "For a second or two I nearly lost consciousness. My heart seemed to stand s -till; but by an effort I kept from going off into a faint. I shall never forget the next few minutes as long as I live, I was alone in the dark with this rabid beast rubbing about my legs -first one and then the other, as if he were trying to find out who I was. Then he rested his nose on my „knees and look- ed straight up into my face. I sat like a statue, knowing that at the slightest movement he would probably seize me, and knowing (who better?) that such a bite in his advanced state of disease was almost certain death, and a horrible death too. Nerving myself, I sat per- fectly still, calculating as well as I could my chances of escape. Presently the dog put first one paw, then the other, on my knee, and, standing on his hind legs, gently rubbed his head against my breast, then over my arms, and then commenced to explore my face. I shut my eyes, and I felt his nose pass. several times across my face, covering it with saliva. YetI dared not move. I ex- pected every instant he would seize me; the very beating of my heart might dis- turb and annoy him; and I felt that, come what might, I must fling him off and make a dash for the door. "Suddenly he ceased rubbing against me'and appeared to be listening. He could hear the steps of the pot -boy de- scending the ladder. I also could hear; it, and knew not whether to call to Min or keep silent. The dog now dropped clown to my knees again, still listening; and as the light of a candle streamed through the crevices r, -f the badly fitting door, he crept into the far corner of the cellar, evidently dreading being put upon the chain again. Then I made a dash at the door, swung it open, and banging it to' behind me, sank, more dead than alive, oil a case near the wall. Seeing my state, the man brought me quickly a nip of brandy, and I pulled myself together. All this time the 'dog was growling furiously on the -other side of the dooF, and tearing at it in his mad endeavor to get at us. Steadying my- self as well as I could, I placed the light on a pile of cases and filling my syringe with acid, opened the door about two inches. As I expected, the infuriated beast rushed at the opening, and as he did so, I discharged the contents of .the syringe into his open mouth. In a:few seconds all was over. When I went tip stairs I found 'my trousers, vest, coat, hands, and face covered with the saliva from his mouth. I felt sick and faint, and looked -so the people said -white as a ghost; in fact, I could hardly stand.' This is a sad hour to me, and I am sure you, too, feel some regret at the breack- ing up. I have always held you as a part of my family, and giving you up is a great grief to me." By this time the speakers voice was very unsteady. His tender-hearted wife, who stood beside him, was weeping bitterly, and the children were crying aloud. The ser- vants all stood inotiouless and in silence Shut up With a Mad Dog. A London doctor's assistant writes to the St. James' Gazette, relating his ter- rible experience with a mad dog he had been directed to put out of the way: "1 filled a small bottle with hydro- cyanic acid, and, taking a syringe, went off at once to see about it. Arriving at the house, I stated my business, and was handed over to the pot -boy to be conducted to the dog, which I could hear howling every few seconds. There being no yard to the house, they had chained the dog down in the cellar to a staple in the wall. "E's a wery bad cage, sir,' said my guide, an' I'll be glad when it's all over; for, although he Was a great pet with us all, an' that fond of the kids you never see, it's awful to see 'im not know any of us, but when we goes near 'im to have 'im come a fly - in' at us. Think 'e'll suffer much? There 'e goes ! 'ear Ira! all day long 'e 'owls like that.' "I assured him it would soon be ovei Without much pain, and, descending some steps, we passed through a room in the basement that was dimly lit by a small and grimy window. Cases of wines • and spirits were ranged against the walls, and we could hear the trarnp of the thickly -shod customers in the bar or. tap room Just above our heads. Open- ing a door, we passed into another room; this was lighted only by the small window in the room we had just left, as it shone through the now open door. 'E'a in there,' said the pot -boy, Pointing to another door in the wall op- Pngte. " Thinking there was a window in the room, I pushed the door open, and im- mediately heard the rattle of a chain and the hoarse half -howl, half -growl of the poor beast, whose eyes I could see against the far wall gleaming through the dark. Window there was none. " ' Why on earth didn't you bring a light?' I. asked, angrily ; you don't supp•ose I can poison him in the dark?' Thought I 'ad a match,' said the boy, fumbling in his pockets; there's a gas jet just inside the door.' "1 had no matches, 80 1 sent him up - which was only broken by an occasional ob. Finally, blessed old Mammy, who 'had: nussed seberal ob de white chili rus" and had eight of her own, broke the spell by inquiring abruptly; "Marster, is we niggers 'bleeged to leave you ?" "No, you are not compelled to leave." "Well, den, I, fur one, is not gwine. Dia here is good 'nuff freedom for me." This sentiment seemed to be unanimous- ly adopted, as for several months there was not the slightest change in our do- mestic attendance. However, curiosity to try the new regime after a time overcame the first emotions of devotion and attachment. One hy one they broke the old dee, and wandered 1 off to try their fortunes in this wide Country, of which they had been Made • proud and independent citizens. It was natural that they should have thisdesire to taste and test the unrestrained privileges of freedom. . "Mammy" was last to go, and went, when. she did, only' because her husband and children had gene be- fore her. None of themAvent very far, but scattered about the neighborhood,. and, in this restless but reasonable ven- ture out into their liberty, necessarily separated themselves from each other. The extent of such rupture to their family circles cannot be described. They were literally broken rip by the boom•of freedom. I do not mean to say that in slavery they were inseparably • united. Some masters were cruel breakers of famik- ties, but such men were violently condesene-,, and always became unenvi- ably conspicuous for their heartless- ness. - To return to the -history of our own flock. They never weaned themselves entirely away from us. Some soon tired of being rolling stones, and returned to the old home, without moss, and asked to be re-established in their old places. They were welcomed, and are there to- day. Others have never gone too far away to hear the sound of a marriage bell, and on such occasions have always come trooping back to evidence their unaltered interest in us, and invari- ably move about the hOusewith the air of - proud privilege and superiority over the new servants. • • And when sorrow's s adows have fallen on our house, and death darkens the door, they have alwayi; been just as sure to come, with that pathetic and genuine sympathy which finds expression only in tears and broken sentences. !But there are those who never come. They have found that far -away home from wh ch residents never return. Dear old 1 Aunt Clarissy, our best of cooks, who had the manner of a duchess, and ranked as a real aristocrat among her race, and who always laid down such exemplary laws of good behavior for all of us children, came to see us every Sunday for several years after "freedom," and never without -her willow basket, well filled with roasted peanuts, and such ginger -cake horses as she alone couid make. But she comes no more. One of her children had great trouble, and the sorrow lay so heavy on her heart that it soon wore her life out. She was too high-strung to stand any severe blow to her family honor and pride. The chief mourners at her funeral used our family carriage, and we joined the procession in a commoner vehicle that Thought Marriage Might Sobef Him Up. Doosenberry was so full when he went to get married that he wanted to whip the minister, and offered to bet that he could pull one of the pillars from under the church roof and brinig the whole structure tumbling in on them, a la Samson.

The artist who, to illustrate the Momentous significance of President Lincoln's proclamation, painted with grotesque fancy, a group of negroes from whose wrists and ankles heavy manacles are falling, might have ri in striking contrast if he had chosen for iade a picture his subject the apirit of many a scene in the South immediately upon the close of the war: real scenes, that were too strong in dramatic situation and historic meaning to need any imaginary environ- ment or exaggeration of detail. , The unconquerable spirit of the Southern people persistently rejected the idea of subjugation, and their irrepres- sible faith in ultimate victory was re - fleeted upon the negro mind. Conse- quently the termination of the war found neither surrendering soldiers nor emancipated slaves prepared for the accomplished result. It was in this trying hour that the men who had laid down their arms stood up heroically and explained the vital consequence of their own defeat to the ignorant beneficiaries of the bloody struggle. I shall never forget the impressive manner in which this was done at my own home. All the servants were called up to the back -door steps on the night v. e learned' of Lee's surrender, and there the head of our house addressed them. He told them plainly and simply that the war was over, and that they were all free. He said: "You do not belong to me any longer, and I have no control over you. You have a perfect right to go wherever and when- ever you please. To those of you who remain with me, I shall be obliged to pay regular wages for your services. I am not your master after to -night. Re- member this, thoi gh-wherever you go, I am your friend, nd if you have any sorrow or trouble ou can turn to me, as in the past, fot comfort, and • help. had been meant for them. Alfred, the butler of olden times, had not been a success as an American citizen. Eager to shake off every vestige of slave- ry, he abandoned the calling to which he had been raised, and has tried every other vocation, making the variety of his efforts surpass everything but the ;wide range of his failure. When last I saw' him he was a picture of want and despair,with seemingly not enough energy left to get out of a shower of rain. He looked as though he neglected every prayer but the petition for daily bread, and was rapidly growing skeptical as to the efficacy of that. This brief sketch of the servants of one house will find an echo in many a South- ern home, and is only a hint at the great truth of how that people was scattered by the result of the war which was wag- ed so fiercly for their emancipation. - This people, who so suddenly heard the proclamation of their deliverance, in the same hour caught the sound of Fate's hisses at their helplessness,. This people, who fell asleep without a care, and awoke confronted by the perplexing problem: 'What shall we eat, or where- withal shall we be clothed ?" The 'mean of freedom to them had for its pathetic echo -Homeless! Their peculiar condition in this hour of radical change stands out in such im- pressive contrast with their former re- lations of life that every line which is written now in reminiscence of that time quickens with interest. wANTED. -Energetic, reliable men, to sell Nursery stock in Ontario.

The fallowing anesdote from the "Cen- tral Baptist" will bear repeating: "A good story is told of a certain Presbyterian professor in a college, who was also a minister, who labored hard in the pulpit to prove that 'ebaptize' meant to pour not to plunge. In the class of theprofessor there was a wag who was called upon to translate a pas- sage from one of the Greek authors. The passage gave an account of a man who became so enraged with Another that he seized a red hot poker and 'ebaptize eis ophthalmon.' Newlet, the wag, with a mischievous -twinkle of the eye, but with a grave manner, translated it thus: He seized a red-hot poker and "sprinkled" it into his eye." How is that?'said the professor. 'He " sprinkled " it into his eye,' replied Newlet. But,' said the doctor, 'the word " ebaptize " does not mean to "sprinkle."'"Well, sir, it did mean " sprinkle " on last Sunday night,' replied the mischievous fellow, amid suppressed laughter from the class, who keenly relished the joke. The doc- tor looked grave, was silent a moment, and then reinarked : • • You may trans- late it " plunge " here, sir."

The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectaelewearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving aesumed 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 glees. 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.
