Tliey spoke of politic and, after the end of the talk, after littving exchanged ideas more or less roinmonplaes on art, literature and the question of mar ring, we came, by a natural transi tion, to speaking of dowries, wedding presents, silver plate, and diamonds. 'l like the pearl belter than the diamond," , said a Udy sitting near "I," said our host end, "I prefer the diamond, and I have my reasons for it." Ah! a story:' iaid one of us. "Tell It." "Would you like to hear it?" asked Oar hostess. "Yea, yea, the story!" aaid a clior us of voices at the table. MBe-- but I pass the betting on to ttj husband." MI take it," said Henry Marbel, our boat, and he commenced: "I wis young at that time, free in WJ actions, and anaiwil myself dur ing my hours of k-Uure, the more so as my day's work was entirely at the Office, of Mr. Durand, notary a no tary very exacting, very striet who demanded of hisileiks not only a zeal all the time but also a serene and dig ified behavior. "I had been to supper with a num ber ol friends, and 1 was staying there to laugh and to drink, when the clock truck 2. I judged it seasonable for me to return to my home. , It was a beautiful night. I thought that a Jong walk would be good for me would quiet my nerves which were a little excited. I was directing my steps, then, very slowly toward home, having descended Males An b res Boule vard; when, arriving at the top of St. Augustine, I saw something at my feet which shone very brightly. I stooped and picked tip the object. It was a diamond earring a superb dia mond , and of great value, certainly. "Well, thought I, tliisis a discovery! Why baa tlie jewel been lost here? "I unintentionally raised my eyes. The windows of the third story of the bouse in front of which I found myself were brilliantly lighted. I listened and I lieard the sound ot an orchestra. Besides there was a Die of carriages Stationed in front of the door. With out doubt there was a party there and the diamond belonged to a guest. I was tempted for a moment to leave the jewel with the servant, but what ! Eroof had I of his honesty? I reflected ir a moment. I was iu evening dres, not very much soiled. What was to prevent my entering? "No sooner thought than done. I rang the door opened and i entered, and mounted to the third story.. "All the doors were open a suite of rooms brilliantly lighted, couples dancing to the sound of ravishing waits gentlemen in evening dress, etc. "In front of the entrance, and in the widst of them, was a lady of middle age, decolletee, who was talking with the arrivals, a smile on her lips. It is the mistress of the house, thought I. Ah! 'How amiable of you to come.' and she gave me her hand with effu sion. I will make my explanation, thought I. "Madam, I beg you to excuse me "Yes, yes; becaiiHe you were late. I understand you. You are excused. But come quickly that 1 may intro duce you to a young lady." "But, madam ' Oh, no, resistance! To come late well, let that pass but not to dance! That- would be impossible." "I made an effort to ay a word, but I was in the throng, led in front ot a young lady, and forced to use the or dinary phrases of society. "'Mademoiselle, will you give me the pleasure of this waitr,?' " 'With ple.wtire, sir. And I began dancing in the salon. "Bah! thought 1, I shall soon find time to explain these things. "Let us amuse ourselves for the mo ment. It is what we have the right to do, and amine- myself, it is my duty to with my partner. "She was charming my partner.

I replaced it. Thank you,' said I. and 1 returned to my data-ing. . Tlie walti was Kiicceedett by a polka and then another walti. I had tlaire always iu my arms, hapj y at having her so iiearme, and pioud, also, that the impression I had made on her was far from being unfavorable, "All the time dancing and much in love, I had not remarked that the circle was formed in front of me. I notu-ed the whispering, but abaorlied entirely with my partner, I gave it little attention. "'Wait! Where is papa?" asked Claire all at once. " 'Your father, mademoiselle; shall we look for him? '"If you please, sir; however, you will easily recogni.e him; it was he wit U whom you sjioke when you lost something from your nocket. "At that moment all the doors of the salon where we were closed as if by magic, and a man with a scarf around his waist entered. The eldorly gentleman, the father of tlaire, ac companied him, and pointed me out io nun. " 'Yes. it is a thief, officer " said he, 'a little while ago! saw a diamond tumble from his pocket, rearing to have a misfortune haptien to one of the Quests, a friend of the house, my lirxt thought was to prevent it, which I did. He took it, and immcuiatly, with a feeble gesture, nut it in his pocket, but not so quickly but that I recognized it as a diamond belonging to my wife. I said noth ing, but I went immediately to look for my wife. The diamond was hers. I saw the hostess. Hie did not know the gentleman. 1 asked other people who he was. No one could give me his name.' "The officer touched me on the shoulder. 'Follow me,' said he. - "I would have explained. '"ft is useless, sir; you can explain at the station,' "'Hut' ' - . "'Follow me,' said he. "Then my anger mastered me. I disengaged myself. " 'Will you let me alone?' "'Ah! a rebellion now! You aggra vate your case, my friend.' "The ollicer made a sign and three large men, his assistants, sprang upon me and took me, without my being able to resist. Before passing through the door, then, 1 turned myself and my last look was for llaii e. "Women have an instinct which de fies all the perspicuity of the police. She must have understood, dearchild, all the discouragement and sadness. I had in that look. Hhe had (or me an inclination of the head and a smile, in which I could read this phrase as clearly as if she had pronounced it : '(io, courage; I am sure that you are great and honest.' I passed the night at the station, maltreated by the of ficer, insulted by his assistants, and confounded with thieves of the worst kind. "The next day all was explained naturally, They had obtained my release. But we are so constituted in France that we otten confound the in nocent with the guilty.

Policy. , -,-' t Bad Words. Boys alone can put a stop to the practice of using brd language out of school; the teacher cannot know what his schole rs say in the ball-field or tlie streets. Parents cannot know for the same reason, and least of all mothers who would be ino-t shocked by im proper words, ami could do most to prevent their utterance. There is one power only that can put down low talk in the playground, and that is the public opinion of the school. . But that can do it! There is notic ing boys fear so much as the disap proval of their school-mates, particu larly if it is expressed in a mode which conveys contempt.' ' It is a curious thing that the boys who are the most likely to use had words are most susceptible to this kind of inlluerje. They are pretty sure to be weaic characters with much' vanity in theircomposition, and there fore more likely to be afraid of the opinion of others than of falling in their own esteem. Unfortunately, minv bovs. other wise pretty good, are slow to perceive either the evil or the disgrace of using bad la niniai'e, ai id are a pt t o regard t he practice as a sign of A sort of courage that takes no note of trilles. Others feel the need of eking out their short supply of words by exclamations more or less violent or indecorous. An Eton boy. in describina recently the ideal Ktonian, remarks that he must have courage, truth, self-reliance, tact and resolution, but need not make his conversation at all times "lit for the Iadies' Pictorial." Eton is not the only school where a notion of this kind prevails. No mat ter what inexperienced boys may think about it, all reflective men, ac customed to trace effects to causes, know that bod words are most close ly related to bad conduct. Jt is surprising how easily and quickly the custom of using box) lan guage can fall into disuse, if there are only a few boys who hate and despise it. A single hoy has brought it about in a large school. i he reform does not take place in a day, nor in a mouth, but one after another the boys catch the better feeling, perceive the beauty of decor um, and soon lie who uses vulgar words is either exceptionally reckless or a new scholar. We are very well aware that bovs do not like to be preached to on this subject, and therefore make our ser mon short. We merely remark, in conclusion, that the use of language either violent or improper is not a sign of strength, courage, or independ ence. On the contrary, it is an un mistakable sign of weakness, ignor ance and vulgarity. louths com panion. What Love Did. Once I knew a workmgman, a pot ter by trade, who had one small in valid child at home. He wrought at his trade with exemplary fidelity, being always in the shop with the opening of the day. He managed, however, to bear each vening. to the bedside of the "wee lad, as he called him, a flower, or a bit of ribbon, a fragment of crimson f;lass indeed, anything that would ie out on the white counterpane, and gave a color in the room, lie was a quiet, unsentimental Kotclunan, but never went he home at nightfall wit h out some toy or trinket, showing that he had remembered the wan face that lit up so when ho came in. I presume he never said to a living soul that he loved that sick boy; still Ue went on patiently loving him. And by and by he moved that whole shop into poaitiveiy real but unconscious, fellowship with him.- The workmen made c.nious little jars and teacups upon their wheels, and painted dimin utive pictures down their sides, before they stuck t hen: 1ij the comers of the kiln at burning tin; . . One brought some fruit in the bulge of his apron, and mother brought some engravings in a r ide scrap-book. Not one of them all wh'spered a word,' for this solemn thing was not to be talked about. They put them in the old man's hat, where he found them; so he under stood all about it. And I tell you seriously, that entire pottery, full of men of rather coarse fibre by nature, grew quiet as the month passed on, be coming gentle and kind, and some of the ungovernable ones stopped swear ing as the weary look on their patient fellow-worker's told them, beyond any mistake, that tlie inevitable shadow was drawing nearer. Every day now somebody did a piece of work for him, and put it up on the sanded place to dry; thus he could comelater and ro earlier. 8o when the bell tolled, and the lit co llin came out of the door of the low ly house, rinht around the corner, out ofeiejit, there stood a hundred stal wart men from the sttery, withtheir clean clothes on, most of whom guvea half-day of time for t he privilege of taking off their hats tothe simple pro cession, tiling in la-hind it, and follow ing across the villayo green to itsurave the small burden of a child which nut one of them had ever nten with his own eyes. How Marbles are Made. All the hoy like marbles, hut who knows how they are made or where they come from.

And boys are made into men in much the same way, by toing run throurfi life's school, which b their "mill," till their rough corners and ed'es disappear, and they become rounded and smoothed, and lit for use in the world.

Queer Pets. Jako nnd Jerry were tiny lobsters, fresh-water ones, but just, like the ones you see in the markets, only they were of a dirty green color, in stead of bcinj red, and they were not much more than two inches long. Brother Will told us that they would be red, too, if we put theni into boiling water, but we wouldn't do n- I asked him if it wouldn't kill them but he just laughed and told us to try it and see. Ray let Jake pinch his ear, because, he said. 111 other Will wanted to kill them. I saw a big lobster pinch a little boy's foot 'once, but 1 don't think that Jake hurt ilrother Will very much because he was so small. We filled a tight box with wa ter, and put stones and sods in the bottom of it, with a hingle on the top of the water for a raft. sometimes they would climb upon the raft and have a nice sail all about the box. They would eat bread crumbs from our hands, but it was funny to see them run backwards when a stranger tried to feed them. I don't see how they knew tbediffer- ence, do you? We kept them all summer, but we didn't know what to do with them in t he winter, so we had to nut them in the riyer again. 'Ibis sprui!! we found lots of tiny lobsters, under the stones, by the river bank, but I don't think that any of t hem were Jake or Jerry, be cause they were fo afraid. Kay says that when we can have a glass tank in the sitting-room, he will tame some more, but I guess that time will never come, for mamma don't like lobsters, live ones, I mean. "Must" and "Musn't." "A fellow can't have any fun," growled Tom. "lt'siust 'must' and 'musn't' from morningtill night. You must do this, you must learn that; or you musn't go there, you must say that, and you musn't do the other thing. At school you are just tied up to rules, at home well a shake of mother's head means more than a dozen 'musn't. Seems a pity a boy can't have bis own way half the time and do something as be likes." "Going to the city, this morning, Tom?" asked Uncle Thed from the ad joining room. ' "Why, of course," answered Tom, promptly. "doing across the common. "Yes sir; always do," "I wish you'd notice those young trees they've been setting out the last year or two. There's something rather queer, it seems to me. Of course the old trees will die sooner or later, and others will be needed, but well you must observe rather care fully, so as to describe their appear ance, etc." , "What about those trees, Tow?" asked I'nclo Thed after tea, as they sat on the piu.a. "Why, they're all right; looked a little cramped to be sure, snipped short off on top, and tied up to poles, snug as you please, every identical twig of them; but that's as it should be, to make them ship-shape don't you see? They can't grow crooked if they would. They'll make as hand some trees as ever you saw one of these days. Haven't you noticed the trees in Mr. Benson's yard? tall and scraggy and crooked, just because they were left to grow a they pleased. The city fathers now drn't propose to run any risks" - But I wonder how th' trees feel about the must and musnV remark ed I'ncle Thed, drily. -. Exit Tom, wishing he had not said quite so much on thesubjectof trees and eoys. Sunday Afternoon. Lincoln's Policy. , President Lincoln's humor was of the genuine sort, the sort which is as sociated with a habit of true serious ness. The New York Tribune credits General Palmer with telling a story in point. He was in Washington in 18tt., and railed to see Mr. Lincoln on a matter of business. 1 was shown into an anteroom, and waited for some time. Senators and others went in and out, and finally I was called. Mr. Lincoln was being shaved. I was "home folks," he said, and he could shave before me. I said. "Mr. Lincoln, if I had supposed at the lliicago Convention that we were to have this terrible war, I should never have thought of going down to a one-horse town and getting a one horse lawyer for Pretident." 1 didn't know just how he would take it, but rather expected some an swer that I could laii'h at; but he bnished the barber aside, ami with a solemn face turned to me and said: "Neither would I, Palmer, I don't believe any great man with a policy could have saved the country. If I have contributed to that end.it has Ut'ii because I have attended to the duties of each day, with t he hope that when to-morrow cam 1 should be equal to its dut ie also." Then he wt tied back into his chair, and the barber resumed his work. A Laughable Mistake. Little Ioit' Primary Geography was made up of questions and an swers.

It is often difficult to know how to entertain aneveniii;company without resorti.ig to cards or dancing, and it is noticeable that some form of intellect ual entertainment is becoming more and more popular each year. Among these is the "literary salad." Though designed primarily for an afternoon tea party. It can easily be adapted to any social gathering. A few dcys beforehand dainty invitations -e sent out. These are written on pale green note-paper, but in other respects are in the usual form. The material part of theifast need not be described, as it is like any delicate nenn now served under t he name of ladies' lunch. After the tables arecleared, the host ess seats herself before a tableon which is a plate of green leaves, and with a rap of her knife calls the ladies to or der, thus: "ladies, I want to serve a salad, and you are now invited to come up in turn and select a share." Of course, each one comes up in haste, eager to solve the mystery. - The leaves are pieces of green tissue pa ist, on each end of which is pasted a slip of white lctter-pnper, bearing a quotation from some popular or stand ard author. As each guest passes the table she selects a leaf, aud upon reading the quotation gives the name of the au thor. if she does this correctly, the leaf is hers. If she fails she returns the leaf, but some time afterward has another trial iu her.turn. Someof the quick-witted ones will soon collect a large bouquet of the leaves, and to the one who gathers the lamest there is given a pretty prize of some sort. To make the leaves for the "literary salad," take light-green tissue-paper, and cut it into the shape of large let tuce or small cabbage leaves, leaving a small strip at the bottom of each. Fold the leaves lengthwise through the middle, and slip it over a hair-pin, pressing it together over the round ing part of the pin. If this is done carefully the leaf will be toautifully crimped, like a real one just from the garden. Now writd the quotations upon some slips of writing paper, and paste them on the ph-ce left for this purpose on the tissue-pnper leaf. Have a small book with all the quotations and the names of the authors written opposite each other, so that thea warding com mittee may have its aid iu deciding who has guessed the gratcst number of names. .. Did Horace Greeley Write These Verses? In the days of my boyhood (above two score years ago) I was an in timateof the lamented Horace Greeley, and treasured up many of his gems of poetry, which in the lapse of years have been lost to me, with the excep tion of some few stanzas which I yet retain in memory. In one of his stray pieces, published under the title of "Horace in Boston," and composed upon the occasion of a discussion be tween us upon the pleasing visions of farm life as compared with the voca tions we were then pursuing, he made me one of his dramatis persona?, under tha name of "Daniel Discount," a few years of which I now give, in the hope that you may be able to find aud pub lish the entire piece: Happy the man, escaped from town, Who sits in rural, smugger down, Ami takes to cultivation: TIuh Iluniel Discount pondering said, And shook hi cslenlating head, lu lonely cogitation.

A. Hurbank, in New York Sun. Why She Didn't Eat Oysters. A wealthy lady had issued invita tions for a dinner party of twelve, and on the morning of the appointed day, when conferring with her head servant, a very accomplished and well-trained waiter, she discovered that one of the twelve silver shells, in which escallop ed oysters were to be served, had been misplaced. Rigid search for the miss ing article having proved unavailing,, the lady decided that, sooner than give up that particular course, she would simply da-line oysters when they were handed her, and so the eleven shells would be sufficient. But when he handed her the oysters at dinner she was int erested m conversa tion, and mechanically took them. If the servant's heart fell in consterna tion at this, he gave no external sign of it but speaking in tones distinct, though low. said, respectfully: "Excuse me, madam, but you said I was to remind you that the doctor forbade your eat ing oysters." His mistress laughed and returned the oysters to tlie waiter, saying in ex planation to her guests: "I am so absent-minded that I have to engage Thomas to remember things for me sometimes," which, indeed, was literally true. Care of the Hair, The hair like every other portion of the human frame if urn n red for w ill go to waste and eventually drop out. This is due to a splitting of the ends of the hair, 0 that the interior oil duct, winch nourishes the hair, is ex posed, And the natural nourishment of the hair run to waUt, overflows upon the head, forming ibindrult, which impede the growth of the hair h much as the tares among wheat.
