'Why, Katie, you'd have to buy food for it corn and apples, and I don't know what all it would cost more than it would'come to.' No,' porsisted my tife, 'it would not, James. Father always kept a pig.' , But he lived in the dbuntry.' - That makes no difference. I was talking with neighbor Jones about it over the fonoe yesterday, and he said we threw away swill enough every dav to keep ten pigs.' 'I should like to know what Jones knows about our swill,' said I. Why, he judged from his own expe rience, James. He keeps a pig.' And while we are on the subject, Katie, I'll just take the opportunity to say I do not approve of your flirting with married men over the fence.'

A few days later the pig came. I was just leaving the house to go down town hen 1 met Peter with the pig ink bag. ' I got him, ' Peter remarked very un necessarily, however, for the pig an nounced the fa?t in his own behalf. nothing but a pig could have squealed SO, 'JJere I put him?' asked Peter. 'Oh, put him in the barn,' said I. Inere is a barn attached to our house, but there was nothing in it. Animated ty a desire to put the barn to some use ful purpose, I bought a cow and put her m there last summer, but she gave no milk alter the second week, and so I S.Ibrel"dlhUM0Ulcrl-' But Peter shook his head. That wouldnt do. A barn was no place for Jaid 6 have a P11' he 'It would hardly do to let him run in the garden, I suppose, I said musingly. 'Can you build a pen, Peter?' not atragreeable object in an jeiiheb'o point 01 view, I could not for some time get over a vexatious kind of curiosity as to its contents. I found strange things in it sometimes viewed as articles of food; one of Fred's boots, for instance, or a pair of scissors, or a teaspoon. Once, when I found a silver fork, in the swill, I remonstrated with the servant girl a stupid German creature, who had succeeded to our intelligent Bridget when the latter got married. It is" not so mnch that I care for the silver, Katharine,' said I, 'but I don't want the pork6r choked to death in his prime.' My wife discharged Katharine, in an impatient moment, soon after this, be cause the girl threw into the swill-pail four quarts of rich, cream-colored milk that had been procured with great trouble from the country, to make a prize pudding for a dinner party that I gave to some of my friends. Katharine was pure city bred, and had never seen such looking milk before in her life; she supposed it spoiled, and into the swill pail it went. We had our porker about a month, and he had grown with marvelous celer ity. The cond ition of thing's in my back garden occupied a large share of my at tention; for though small, it had been iberally stocked and diligently cared or, and there was quite a rivalry be tween my neighbor Jones and myself in this matter. Jones boasted of very su perior erudition in these things, and being a gentleman of leisure, he had more time to look after them than I had; but I struggled hard not to be distanced, Thei was no disputing the point of Jones' Isabellas being rather ahead of mine, but in most respects I felt myself lifXrA PTaMcm nwpw. n flfteen.dollar brandv M .

One day our porker go4 out of his pen, and went rooting around in the garden with a tumultuous exercise of his free dom. Of couree, these women never saw him; it was washing day, I believe. The havee he had made by the time I came home at night was thrilling to wit ness. Nobody could tell how long he had been out of his pen; but judging by the devastation I witnessed, he must have been out since morning. There was nothing to do now, how ever, but to put him back into his pen. I soon found there was no driving him back to the pen. He dodged one in the most exasperating manner. He doubled and twisted in a way to set at naught all my calculations. I was no match for him. Jones came out while I was exer cising the porker, and laughed at me over the fence. You don't go at it in the right way, Dobbs,' said he. Perhaps you d like to try it yourself, Mr. Jones,' I said, with some dignity and a very red face. 'Take him by the tail, said Jones, calmly; in reply. 'Get his nose aimed toward the pen, and then pull his tail. The more you pull one way the more he'll pull the other, and he'll be in the pen before you know it.' Katie, who was standing on the back steps looking at me, laughed so heartily at this, that I felt quits good humored again, and asked Joaes to come over and give ns the benefit of his superior wis dom. After a little banter, and the handing of a cluster of Isabellas to Katie, he climbed the fence, 'Now, Dobbs,' said Jones, 'we'll form a line you and I, and Mrs. Dobbs and the servant girl. So it was undertaken. Porker stood by the fence, eyeing us with a deep ex pression of interest. We moved down upon mm; he wheeled iv&nS snorted, anil fVinn maila a " i at ria nfc Wither ftt me, and, whisht he went rieht between my legs, so that I BDrawlei out onvthc men ground most ungracefully. Katie led cures. the rervant girl ran screaming into thV I advise? house, and Jones was over the fence inv trust no time. The result of it was, we sent for Pe ter. It had now grown somewhat dark, but Peter made short work of the job. He got a rope and took in his other hand the big stick I had been flourish ing; then he went np to porker, fetched him one tremendous blow over the pro boscis, and while poor piggy was stag gering and seeing a million Btars, slipped the rope over one of his hind1" legs, and had him into the pen in a trice. Peter, said I, after that, "you may come round to-morrow, if you are not engaged, and gather what's left of the vegetables. He did so. There was a good deal left after all. Porker's havoo was great er in appearance than in reality. Peter stored the cellar with abundance among other things, with a nice lot of superior beans in the soft pods, which TOhnn 11 her children were princes and mtAtitates.

I asked, post poning the kiss pro tempore. K)ur porker,' said Mrs. Dobbs, grave ly 'is in his grave.' 'Good heavens!' I cried, 'deadP and immediately went out to look at his de serted abode. I was quite calm by dinner time, and informed Katie that I was ready to hear the particulars of the sad event. Well, James,' she commenced, 'you know you directed those beans to be fed to him.' t 'Oh, that's it! I thought it would be laid at my door in some manner, not withstanding the little ciroumstance that I was over two hundred miles away. Well, proceed.' 'So the girl gave him beans for dinner and beans for supper, and the next morning she went out with some more, and then I heard her soream; I went out and there he was swelled up oh, dreadfully twice as large as life, dear and lying on his ! side and kioking his legs faintly. Neighbor Jones looked over the fence and asked what the mat ter was' 'With a bunch of Isabellas, doubt less.' 'And when we told him, he came over to see the pig, and said pooh! he wasn't dead; that he knew what was the mat ter with the pig; bloated stomach; he could cure him.

Mrs. Dobbs,' I asked, 'do you mean to tell me that you have buried the dead hog in our garden?' 'No, dear; Mr. Jones' garden.' ' A sudden idea crossed my mind. Well, upon my word! I responded. It seems we are not even to have the nefit of the carcass as a fertilizer on the soil. This caps the climax.' What do you mean, James? Why, Katie, don't you know that dead ahibals enrich the soil where they are bufied, in decomposing and supplying ammonia and pnoepnono aciu, uu hings that make the vegetables grow v 1 1 1 1 1 n 'James, how can you tais sucn eiun 1 Stuff 1 Not a bit of it.

Her provincial. habit of economy stood her in good stead in her vigorous old age; she was riotfwhen the empire had passed away, and her grandchildren needed her aid. It must bave been from her that Napoleon took his extraordinary character, for- Carlo Bonaparte, though a brave soldier and an ardent patriot in bis youth, was of an easy and genial temper, inclined to take the world as he found it, and not to in sist too much on having it go in his es pecial way. After the cause of Corsican liberty was lo6t by the success of the French arms, he accepted the situation without regret, and becoming intimate with the conquerors, he placed as many of his family as possible on the French pension list. His sons Napoleon and Louis were given scholarships at Brien ne and at Autun, and his eldest daugh ter, Elise, entered the royal institution at St. Cyr. While yet in the prime of life, he died of the same deadly disease which was to finish Napoleon's dsya at St. Helena; and the heroic mother, her responsibilities becoming still heavier by this blow, lived for eight years long er amid the confusion and civil tumult which had become tchronic in Corsica; and then, after the capture of the island by the Eoelish in 1793. she made her escape with her children to Marseilles, where she lived several years in great penury.

The actual sales of stamps and envelopes amounted to $769, 482 more than the total for the preced ing year, and 82,387,539 more than the sales for the fiscal year of 1877. It is estimated that a greatly increased num ber of stamps, &x, will be required lor the next year. Upon a total number of 452,693 requisitions received Dy tne de partment from the postmasters through out the country, there were issued during the last fiscal year for sale to the public some 774, UUU, UUU Btamps o; tne face value of 820,117,259; 221,797 postal cards, and 148.000.000.' stamped envel- opes,valued at $4,300,000. The total is sues o! all kinds, including also tne news paper wrappers, official stamps? reached an aggregate of over 1,222,000,- 0C0 in number, and 829,503, UOU in value. The increase in the demand has Deen principally for postal cards and stamped envelopes. Ahe amount 01 postage collected on newspapers and periodicals mailed from omoe of publication and news agencies was $1104,185, an in crease of 879,000 over the preceding year. The weight of the newspapers and periodicals mailed oy puDiiBueru and news-dealers in New York city dur ing the year was nearly 8,000 tons.

Mr. Robert Bonner , the owner of Dex ter and other noted trotters, disposed of seventy-six head of his blooded stock at . public 8ustion in New York, realizing therefrom S31.700. The prices ranged from 81 000 for Keene Jim to 8150 for colts. Charles A. Dana, of the Sun, bought Keene Jim, who has a record of 2.18J. A young Georgia lady, a short time since, sent through the mail to a gen -Ueman of Washington, a box of flowers.

Discipline is discipline. A private in the Seventy-Ninth Highlanders recently savrtd a child from drowning in the river at Kirkee, India, at imminent peril of his own life, and then kept the crowd back while the surgeon resuscitated the little one. Thia occupied some time, so that he was late in returning to the barracks, and when the officers heard his explanation they ordered him to be oon fined for fourteen dajfl. Phineas Hough, Jr., who died lately in Puiladelphia, left the interest of 820,000 to his wife, to be paid her so long a she should remain his widow, in case of her marriage, however, pay ni the interest should cease and the whole estate should pass to the father of the decedent. The widow married again and the father claimed under the will. The court decided that the wife s claim ceased with her widowhood. In June last a blacksmith of Plain City, Ohio, brought suit against farm er to recover ten cents for a bolt for bis bnggy. He gained the suit snd an exe cution followed to recover the ten cents aid costs, amounting to more than 815. Since, there have been various steps taken to evade the execution, suita until the present time, when the defendant has incurred 8150 and the plaintiff about half that amount without any settlement in prospect.
