The latter had but one leg. When the ragged little bootblack had got through with the one and collected a nickel he tapped his box smartly with" his brush and looked up at the one-legged man: "Shine 'em up, 'Why, I've only got one foot, young chap." "Shine it up, sir?" "WelL I don't know you charge a nickel for two feet, I s'pose you'll do mine for 2H cents, hey?" "Yes," said the bay, "if you'll furnish the change." He went industriously to work polishing up the lonely foot, while the two men continued joking. The one-legged man was telling the other fellow about leaving his leg on the slope of Lookout mountain. He had pulled out a 10 eent piece mechanically, as he talked, and the boy was a long time on the job. When the lad had.

put an extra fine, polish on the broad bottom shoe, the one-legged customer cheerily tendered the dime. "I always pay double," said he, laughing- patronizingly, "on account of the wear and tear on the boy's feelings." "An' I alius don't take nothin'," retorted the dirty little fellow, shouldering his bos with the conventional swing. "My grandpa left a leg in the war an' I don't take nothin' fur a one leg job, account o' de wear and tear on me feelings see?" he added slyly. And he swaggered away with an air of independence that struck the two men speechless with amazement. WANTED TO EE SURE.

In greatest joy, uu nnauy me iul clock told the hour of departure. One cannot describe that ride home! The smiles of the maiden were so and her voice so silvery and charming, no wonder the youth was transformed and like one in a dream.

Tn Brld Insisted Upon a Second Call on the Minister. A few weeks ago a haekman had a call to a Lewiston, Maine, pastor's house In the evening, to earry him to a meeting at some place or other.

When the haekman reached there he found another carriage there, and an impatient driver walking up and down. The former pulled the bell; was greeted by the minister, who soon cams forth in his overcoat and gloves and stepped into the hack. "Here you," said the waiting hack-man, "what are you taking that minister away for? I've got a couple in there. Why don't he splice 'em before he goes out makin' calls?" "Giddupi" said the minister's haekman as he mounted the box and drove away. He was gone an hour and returned with the clergyman, and' lo, and behold, the same haekman paced up and down in front of the house and the same carriage stood in front of the door.

The driver was mad. "If I was running a business I'd 'tend to it," said he. "Why don't he stay at home and make- hearts happy? Why don't he marry folks without delay?" "Ask said the clergyman's driver and the brother haekman took the advice. "Marry them!" exclaimed the clergyman. "Why, I did.

I married them. Didn't they know they were married? Why, they were man and wife an hour ago. I'll go in and turn them out with my blessing." And he did and out came a blushing bride and an angry-looking groom, and as they got into the hack he said to her, "I told ye we was all fixed." "Well, George," said she sweetly, "I wanted to be sure of it." Hundreds of yards of beautiful Dress Ginghams sold for 10 and IS 1-2 now go for 7 cts. per yd. Ed.

A kind of spider native to South America is remarkable for the great length of its legs, and has a very singular method of defending itself. When attacked it gathers its feet together, fastening them to the center of its web, and gyrates with the velocity of a whirligig, so that it appears like a mist on the web, offering no point for the enemy to strike at.
