Qn the contry, "I still live." which words wns spoken by Danyil Webster, who was able man. Even the old-line whigs of Boston admit that. ' Webster is ded now, howsever, and his mantle has probably fallen into the hands of sum dealer in 2nd hand closo, who can't sell it.

But why he should wolnntarily go and live in Washinton is intirely be yond my comprehension, and I can't say no fairer nor that. I put up to a loadin hotel. I saw the landlord and sed, "How d'ye do. Square?" "Fifty cents, sir," was his reply, "Sir?" "Half-a-dollar. Wo charge twenty-five cents for lookin at the landlord, and fifty cents for speakin to him. If you want .supper, ft boy will show you to the dinin towuifoi twenty-five cents.

The day was warm and sultry, audi the river being low, tho gleaming rocks so fur beneuth attracted the attention of the little urchin. In order to obtain a bettor view of the scene, lie placed his basket on the foot way and clambered upou tho guard; rail to look down. The giddy height made his senses reel, and before he could save himself ho had tumbled hoadlong upon the jagged rocks be low.. ' ' . From a distance his father bad wit nessed the incident, aud ho hurried from the bridge, expecting to find thfl mangled body or his son stretched upon the shore, , But, to his surprise, his little bo v met him half war and laughingly related the' particulars 61, nis iremenuous luu a 11 it were u uugo oko. By some uivsterjous providence, te was not even bruised. Later on, when Lawrence was 17 rears old, like most of the young fel lows of that age, he fell in lovo with the haitdsonio littlo daughter of a neighbor;' With the assistatico of a friend, he succeeded in procuring a marriage license, and one evening he eloped with his sweetlidart. Although he enjoined the clerk to keep the mat ter secret, the particulars appeared iu tho Courier-Journal the tollowing morning In this manner the father of the girl .learned of the marriage, and he became, so angry that he loaded his shotgun and started on a hunt for Tiis new son-in-law, with tho avowed determination of annihilating him. They met shortly afterward, und the old man emptied both barrels of his ' gun at the boy. Again fortune favor ed tho youth who tiau maue mmseir famous by his remarkable fall from tho bridge, and not oue of the handful of shot struck him. Young Long's last adventure oc curred on the occasion of tho big cy clone. He is a mouther of tho K. and L. of H. lodge, which met at the ill fated Falls City hall in this city, nnd on the night of the cyclone bo came over to attend tho meeting. , , When the tornado seized tho structure in its grasp and rent it to pieces he was among the crowd gathered on the third floor. Though tho other rushed panic stricken hither aud thither iu a fran tic effort to escape, the boy with the cliarmeu Hie remained quietly stand ing in the pluce where bo was when the proceedings were interrupted. Amid the roar of tho elements, the groans of.JJia dying- and a plashing of the tumbling walls he was us cool as an icicle.' The floors fell in, and he went with tliem. but his guardian an gel was promptly on baud with the needed assistance, and when Lawrence crawled out of the ruins he found upon examination, that the only injury he had sustained was a miaH scratch upon one of his cars.

Wrinkles across the forehead are found in children who are rickety or Kidiotio; strong sunlight, with the face and eyes insumcieutly covered, will also cause them, but in all cases they are normal at 40, or nven at ah earlier age. Vertical wrinkles' between the eyes come prematurely in men and women who study much or worry themselves. This cart readily be im agined. . The eyebrows contract naturally when iu deep thought; grief or worry produces the same effect; the action being frequently repeated produces a fold in the skin. - It was and is one of the standing rules of the Jesuits to never contract the eyebrows while studying.

Wrinkles of the cheeks and chin are caused by the diminu tion of the fatty substance under the chin, whUh causes the chin to fall into folds. 1 The- small wrinkles near the eye have the same origin, and only appear in old age. Those across the upper eyelids, which give the eye an air of fatigue, are the result of hard living, grief and worry. Ptew xork Journal. ......
