You know when he is in, the door is never fastened.' Effije said. "Ua and see n tne Key is out. i can not rest, I'm so afraid. Arid what would he think ot me?

'You are very happy, Effie,' her mother said, as they were busy in making beau tiful things for Effle's wedding. 'Indeed, I am, mother. I have been every honr since I spent my money. Oh, uiorher, did ever two pounds bring such happiness before?' 'Ob, my love, it is all Ihe reward of a f me, kind and loviDg heart.' Chinese Astuteness. In ways that are dark the Chinese are, we know, peculiar, and the Herald, of Foochow, relates an instance of fraud, the ingenuity of which is really remarkable. A short time since a na tive bullion broker ealled at one of the gold shops there and offered tour gold bars for Bale. The proper weight of the native gold bar is Tls. 10, and the four bars should therefore have weighed Tls. 40. The broker told the dealer that his bars were, he kiiew, Tls. 2 under weight, and the dealer thereupon put them in the scale, but found that they weighed over the Tls. 40, rather than under. Thinking, however, that he would do a tharp thing, and gain the value of the Tls. 2 of gold, he remarked to the broker that the bars were cer tainly only Tls. 38 in weight, but that he would buy them at that weight. He thereupon paid the money, and the na tive broker was leaving the shop when, as if struck with a sudden idea, he turned to the dealer nd said, "Perhaps you would not object to gi me an ac knowledgement in wrting of the weight, 60 that in the event of there being any dispute hereafter I might be cleared." The dealer gave the acknowledgment that the bars he had purchased weighed only Tls. 38, and the native broker re tired. Shortly afterrard the dealer, chuckling over the gvin he had made, reweighed the bars, arid then examined them more closely. A suspicion seized him that he bud been done, and, upon the bars being examined, they were found to consist partly of iron. The over-sharp dealer found himself with out any remedy whatever against the astute Chinaman, for the adulterated bars weighed over Tls. 40, while the broker was in a position to prove by bis receipt that those which he had sold weighed unler Tls. 38. It is clear frrm tV.io tliof rtnr f.nntrrmfin in 1A East act unwisely when they try to make money out of tne simplicity of the heathen Chinee, for the latter is up to all sorts of dark ways even in "games he does not understand." The Jersey City Journal believes that there are probably not over a doz en or so of perfectly able-minded adults in the world who have never told a lie, and the most of them have told a good many. It therefore wonden that the average man hates so to be called a liar. The Burlington hawk-Eye gramma rian is again at it. He says: "Ah, young man, if you only had not of dyed your linen ulster last fall for to make of it a overcoat, you wouldn't not now had to of bought a linen duster for your summer wear."

The sub ject lately afforded a brisk debate in the House of Commons.

The Canadian papers are of opinion that the men could be obtained easily. Cocoanct Squealer, father of the first monkey born at the Philadelphia Zoologit-il Garden, is dying. He is over 50 years old, is stooped, emaciated, wrinkled, toothless, half blind, and partly paralyzed altogether far from healthy. An old bachelor being ill, his siste presented him a cup of medicine. " What is it ? " he asked. She answered, "It is elixir asthmatic; it is very aro matic, and will make you feel ecstatic." " Nancy," he replied, with a smile, "you are very sibter-matic." The British Museum is about to ac quire a well preserved Egytian papyrus, belonging to the time cf the later Ptole mies. It contains nearly the whole of the thirty-fourth book of the"Iliad." The museum has secured another papyrus, even more ancient, recently found in an Egyptian tomb, and containing an al most complete transcript of the eight eenth book of the "Iliad." Five outlaws were hanged by a mob in Henry county, Ky., several years ago, and until lately that section was free of robbers. A new gang, however, has proved its existence by a particularly fiendish crime Raiding on a farmer a premises at night, they mnrdred three persons and burned the buildings, for the rake of stealing things worth les than $500.

The sleep of winter and that of night are different in those animals which are torpid for months. The bat, the hedge- ! hog, the tewne, the marmot, the ham ster, tortoise, the toad, snakes, molluscs, epiders, bees, flies, bears, badgers, etc., ,retire to their closed holes, and in vari ous degrees undergo a temporary death of four, five, six and even seven months of the year. They usually roll them selves up, but bats suspend themselvea In caves. Those who lay up provisions use them before they become torpid, and ou reviving before they venture abroad. Their temperature lower; their respiration is less frequent, and at times their circulation is reduced ; they lose their feeling; the digestive organs are inactive and they suffer loss of weight. The confined air in which they shut themselves, added to the cold, is one cause of their torpidity. Facts lead to the belief that some birds hibernate, i a1
