Quickly the lit tle lad staid his steps and picking up the pin 6tuck it carefully and securely in his coat . . . A rich man chancing to pass at that time saw the action, and was much im pressed by it, so much so that he took the boy into his bank and finally adopt ed him.

' ; General Robert E. Lee was in the cars going to Richmond one day and was seated at the end farthest from the door. The otker seats were filled with officers and soldiers. "An. old woman, poorly dressed, entered at one of the stations, and finding no seat, and having none of fered to her, approached the end where the general was seated. He immediately rose and gave her his seat, i Instantly there was a general rising, each one offering his seat to the general. But he calmly said: : "No, gentlemen, if there was no seat for the infirm old woman, there can be none for me. " - The effect was remarked. One after another got out of the car. The seats cecmed to be too hot for them, and the general and the old lady soon had the car to themselves. An Immediate r '! y, J.Irs. Watts "What is cn that button? Watts "Rcmenib. i the J-Iaine."

Many instances have been recorded of flowers being luminous at night They only seem to do this on rare occasions, hence they are to be envied who have the good fortune to witness the phe nomena. Though the writer has often endeavored to get fortune's favor, she has never smiled on him but once, when he saw the phosphorescent glow from fungi in a hollow tree, just like the glow of a 'match when rubbed in the dark. A German naturalist Herr Haggren, seems to have met with a number of instances in his country- or, rather, the night watchman he employ ed did. He concludes the phenomena are more likely to ocpur when it is dark, after rain, following a sunny day. 'July and August gave the most in stances. Occurrences began soon after sunset, and there were none after dawn. He could not decide on the cause of the luminosity.
