A Mil he was living a brilliant, gloj io'M life, he knew - ,r. at least, Ic told himself so. II drank deeper; and, an on, he came to the gaming-table. In hort, every vice that a wealthy spend thrift might tind fleeting pleasure in, h indulged in. And th' circle of friends (dung closelv. Thev swore bv liini- I , wl n-i I I him a trump. They drank his wine, and robbed him of his money; and if a iimv source of pleasure could be found, they all went in for the enjoyment ami he paid the bill! One day, after his eye had become bleared and his step uncertain, he met the girl he hud once loved, in the street, lie rvad pity in her sweet face, and ."aw tears in her eyes; and he tried to steel his heart ; yet he thought of her until his wild friends were again a routxl him. One day he went to the bank and drew out a thousand pounds. That night he sat down in his own apartments, with his own wine upon uio snienoaru, aim ins own cants upon tho table and plaved with his dear friends! The wine (lowed freelv. he .... ...

And ho re membered that ho had given his checks to various members of the party for largo amounts, lie found the counter foils, and they told him he had drawn his checks to the amount of over two thousand pounds !

And then he repeated : "May ho h-'ever as sensible as ho is t this moment!" And then, with n smiting of his clenched hand upon his bosom, ho exclaimed, "Tom did not lie! I will not lot hint lie!"

There is a g I story told of the Manpiis of Wnterfoid ( Lord t'harles Kercsl'ord's uncle) and the way he served a young fellow whose indiffer ence to the lives and limns of other people when out .-.hunting with them had gained for him somewhat of a reputation. The young man, though he ought to have been deprived of hU gun lionise by special art of parlia ment, was the .sun of a duke of stii-h high standing in the political world that nobody vi nt uied more t hau a mild remonstrance with him for his care lessness, and w hile few card to join a shooting party of which he made one. his pi mil ion got him invited where men of hiore caution but less blood Would have been excluded. II so happened that one October but It the maiipiis and Lord .Ion-line Clinton llie young man in ipics tioii found themselves staying for the shooting at Wollciton park. Lord Or ford's place in Norfolk. There was a large parly staying at the house, and more than one fortunate i scape from Lord .loci-liiicV, rckl'.s gnu was the nighily topic in the smoking room. Secral of tl," iiieu had already be, n gra.ed mi one or t w o occasions by shots tired at close ipiarteis, ami one who had been his nearest neighbor one morning had one of his w hiskcrs and eyebrows singed t If by a lla di from a inii.le heedlessly placed within an inch of his check. Lord .leceline paid small heed to the remarks he heard, and laughingly treated all that was said as a joke, lint Lord Wnterford smoked his pipe in silence, only joining in the talk solar as to confide to a friend, who sat mar, his determination to put an end to th ploit should it conn Ming man s ex his wavtodo . It is said that Lord .loecliue over heard the remark but said nothing. At all events, next day the party w cut out as usual, and, as chance w mild j have it, win ii shooting an outlying cover. Lord Waterford and J.onl .loce- I line .-tend ten l'c-t apart. In the midst j 1 of an excit nig battue arabl.it started out of the bushes and rail between the two.

Lord j .loceline, fn the bravado of the moment. held up his hand w ith a laugh. Hardly had he done so when Lord Waterford ; raised his gnu and let him have the contents of one barrel in his palm. 1 Fortunately it was it defective cart- J ridge, from w hich most of the shot had i fallen, else it would haw been a bad dav for Lord .loceline.

No one after that had ever cause of complaint against him. The Tomato. F.nglish travelers, who write about this country, are usually surprised be-aut-e the tomato is used almost as gen erally as the potato. Thomas deffcrsoii brought tomato seed from France, where he saw that that vegetable was extensively used as food for swine, lr. lio Lewis used to say that the too I'reipiciit eating of it bv Tinman beings produced salivation. The Italians have taught Americans that lin- tomato sauce makes macaoiiti more palatable, l'.ut there are many poor cooks who hide their shortcomings by putting the tomato in t vci vtlish; so that one chef recently said of another: "Oh, he'd put it into a church plate," THE WELSH CHOIRS.

Haydn and Mendelssohn. So universal among all classes of th Welsh people lias this o c for chonu singing become, that il may with safely ( be said that no other people have such a w idely diffused a, ipiaintajice w ith the very highest cla.-s of mush- as Ihey i have. This is the more remarkable, when we take i.it" consideration the fact that both singers and listeners : were, for by far the greater part, coin- : posed of millers and their wives and : children. The members composing a choir are i'fen scattered over a wide r- tent of territory, so that regular weekly or even mmthly meetings of the choir are impossible. When a new chorus is to be learned, the various mi inbers will procure, if they can afford it.onovopy for each member of the family, or. if the work is expen sive, one copy for the whole family. Then the neighboring families will lucid once or twice a week at each other's houses, tie best reader among them is appointed lender, and they go to work with no instrument but a pitch pipe or tuning-fork, to master the fugues of llainii I or Haydn. When all these small pari ics have uiiisl, -red the chorus which they do so thor oughly that they commit it to memory a meeting ol the w hole choir is hold, numbering from ten to lim e hundred, in some church, school or ra-.lwa station, and tie leader of the choir himself usually a miner holds a grand review of the work done bv his lieuten ants. The whole work is gone ovel carefully and lh"ioueh'y, and, aftei the singing of some , f the old hoiui' songs in their inot her tongue, the vari ous groups separate for the Jong walk ! or ride through the woods ami over the mountains, to repent the process with i another chorus. Tin- choirs that live , in the neighborhood of towns have, of course, many advantages over those that luivc to conduct their rehearsals in this fragmentary way, having the opportunity of fiouient meetings and the constant presence of their regular lea h r. and, in somo instances, Uiu aid of instrument. !!,inf-l np Life in New York.
