I would not wish for a wife who did not care for me. You have returned to me the ring”; you have given me back the books and bracelets and pins and photo graphs I gave you. butâ€"" “ Ah l Mr. Pnddifoot,” said the girl, with a sneer, “ I know what you are go- ing to say. You are going to tell me that you have spent $60 taking me to the opera, 825 on the theatres, 8140 on afternoon drives, and 828 on flowers. In short, you want a cheque for these ?" “ Miss Binkletoo," he retorted proud- ly, “ you wrong me. I was amply paid for all these by the pleasure I derived in witnessingr your delight. No, Miss Binkleton, I desire no dross. but one thing ere we part you must return to me, and I must return to you.” Here he tooka memorandum book from his pocket. " I find," he said, a quaver in his voice, " that in four years I have given you 14,677,621 kisses, and you have given me 12,466,823. These must be returned ere I leave youâ€"mine to me, yours to youâ€"as I shall need mine at least in an engagementI pro- pose to initiate before a week has passed. Nay, I shall not take no for an answer. Are you prepared for a return of these ?" “ Yes. George," she faltercd. And then before the restoration was a quarter made the broken engagement was mended, and all was as it should be. A Lover’s Predioament. ~â€"v-_- The Saintlield correspondent of the Whitby Chronicle says: “Early one morning as old Mrs. Grundy was hob- bling along the town line she heard a mighty noise behind her, as if all the bulls in Bashan were tearing down the road. Stepping aside as quickly as her shaky old bones would permit, to her, great surprise she saw a very young man, with a baby-face, red, round and rosy. bounding along for all he was worth, and a dozen razor-back hogs at his heels. Just as the old lady had offered up a secret prayer for the poor boy's safetyâ€"and he was a nice boyâ€"- the foremost hop. seized the hind end of his coat, which fortunately parted, thus giving the poor fellow a chance to escape. The old lady, as in duty‘bound, set to work to find out the cause of this re- markable phenomenon. It appears that the young man had been sitting up with the lady of his love, that both had fall on asleep on the lounge and slept the sleep of the innocent until early morn- ing, when the heavy tread of the old man on the stairs roused the pair from their balmy slumbers, and in his hurry to get out the poor young man fell into the swill barrel and the hogs got scent of the swill as he crossed the barnyard. Hence the chase. There’s a moral here if any one can find it.” The Colossal Passenger. An account is given in the Daily Tel- (graph ofa cattle dealer from the depart- .ment of the Seine et Marne, a phenom- enally stout man, who had driven into Paris, and as his horse was taken ill during his stay in the metropolis, re- solved to lcaye the animal and return home by rail. He bought a ticket at the Vincennes station, but all his efforts to effect an entrance into a compartment proved abortive. The company's em~ ployces went to his assistance, and he was pushed and squeezed, almost de~ nuded of his garments, but all to no purpose. The train was soon to start, and the scene had been watched with no little amusement by a number of pas- sengers. “ Well," said the cattle dealer to the station master, “ the regulations travellers. I have my ticket and you must take me." The distracted official now proposed that the colossal passenger should make the journey in a luggage van. The oli'er was accepted. and soon afterward the train was speeding on its way with thecattledealcr seated on a big boa in the van, which had been covered for his special behoof with a comfortable cushion. -0â€" A Heavy Responsibility. “ Have you got any family ?" asked MaeAndcrson, a San Antonio lawyer, of a colored man whom he was appointed ly the Court to defend. the latter being c urged with having stolen a horse. “ has got no family yit.

JOB PRINTING- l Firing Big Guns at Sea It is not a very pleasant experience ,..-.._ l for a‘ civilian to be upon a line-cf‘hattlc ship at son, when the big guns are being fired with full charges of powder and shot. At the conclusion of the annual manoeuvres this practice takes place, and moat newspaper men, having once undergone this trial to their nerves, take care to leave the ship before she ste'atus to the latitude where her huge shots cannot do the slightest harm. ,Beforc the guns are discharged the decks are cleared for action, and all the chairs in the cabins are laid down and tied together, whilst every bit of mov- able lurniture is secured. The doctor goes round, and makes sure that every man has his cars stopped with cotton wool. The concussion when the charges are fired is tremendous, ad the iron- clad quivers from stem to stern with the vibration. In fact, the shock of the ex- plosion is so great that ,cvery pane of glass in the skylights is invariable shat~ tcrod, and much of the ornamental wood- work is splintered. Aftcr a few hours of this play, the carpenters have a busy time in making things look presentable once more, for the ship resembles a wreck when she has finished her pram ,_ tice. Nobody likes it. The sailors standing by the big guns sometimes find themselves thrown all of a heap across the deck, and after an hour or two officers and men become as black as swee s. “ here can I get to be out of the way ?” asked I of a naval ofiicer on one such occasion. “ As high as you can," said he; “only take care to grip tight hold of some: thing, or you may gctjcrked ovorboard.” Perhaps the one place in the VCSst‘l where gens trouble the crew least is down in the engine room, which is below the level of the deck upon which most of the armament is put. Once it hapâ€" poncd that a big gun was fired from a spot right over the captain's cabin, which was liberally adorned with pit-- tures. When the concussion come, down went the pictures, much to their owner’s annoyance. 'l he captain was determined not to see his pretty cabin spoiled. , “ How many times have we to fire that gun ?" he asked of an officer. “ The regulations say eight, sir." “Well, I won’t have it tired again." “ Very well, sir; what are we to do with the charges ?” ‘ “ Throw them overboard.” And overboard the shot went, some of them costing the nation probably £60 apiece, which the captain dared not take back with him to port. It is not merely the noise and the shaking which are objectionable, for the smell of gun- powder pervades everything, and soup and all kinds of food reek of sulphur. .*0. Fight Between a Bull and a Stallion. Afarmer at Bush Creek, Illinois, owned a fine Durham bull and a stallion of good breed. ‘ He had always turned his bull and stallion into the same lot, and there was apparently the best of feeling between them. Suddenly, how- ever, one day the bull began lrnntically cavorting around the barnyard. and finally turned and made for the stallion. The new tactics of the bull took the horse by surprise, and it was only after his flank had been severely gored that. he realised the situation, and then be- gun a battle that Would have thrilled the heart of a Spanish bullfighter. The stallion made no attempt to kick, but struck viciously with his fore-feet and tore crcat chunks of quivering flesh out of the hull with his teeth. At last, after struggling all over the yard, the bull made one grand rush, catching a horn in the home’s groin and discmhow- clling it. The noble animal sunk to the ground with n groan and expired. The hull staggered away a short dis- tance and fell. The farmer then ventur- ed in. The hull was still living, and wrapped closely around one of its hind legs he discovered the cause of all the trouble. It wasn little black sooko, about two feet long, which had coiled about the animal's leg: and Caused it such frantic terror that Ilcmuplclt'ly lost its ltcad. The hull was so badly wounded that it was shot. .. ._.. -. ..... The End of a Miser. James Heathers. an eccentric char- acter, in East Gnrrafraxn, died on Thurs- day, eighty three yours old. For filly years he and his brother Benjamin had lived in a little shack, which has for many years been in a condition scarcely fit for hogs.
