In Texas a husband oilers SI.200 re ward, and no questions asked, it the man who took away his wile will return her. Artificial India lubber is made for twenty two, ccuts a pound iu I'aris, and is paid to be as good as the real article. A lady who had repeatedly called her little boy to come in and say his prayers, was somewhat taken back by his asking h. r if God was iu much of a hurry.

An Irish lady at Troy, teacher in one of the public sehools, tortured a class of young girls by suddenly inquiring if they could tell the name of the first woman. One of the little ones, more forward than the rest, advanced to the front of the clans and replied : ''Well, we don't know, ma'am, what her namo was: but anyhow, she wasn't Irish I" also by strikii)r out the words -seven" iu the last proviso ("aud Kossuth Gives it IJp. Kossuth has declined to serve as a Deputy in tbe Hungarian Parliament.

He finds that the cause of "the solidarity of the peoples" is getting on vcy well without him, and he retires in disgust. v A prospective father-in-law, speaking ofthej'oung man whom his daughter was to marry, said ; "He is a good fellow and has but one fault: ho does not know how to swear." "A fs'i indeed! I think you are extremely fortunate in pet: tint? such a son-in-law," replied bis friend. "Yes he doesn't kuow how to swear, but he swears all the same," was the reply. Gth.

Having implicit confidence in his affianc ed, he went to the clerk and procured a license. The party waited long, but Liz zie did not put in an appearance. Dirclcy was not tc lose a wife iu this way, he therefore proposed to a female of the par ty, .Miss Jjucuida Morrison, and was ac cepred. A minister was summoned, who immediately bound the twain iu the hap py houds -f wedlock, and the party quiet ly wended their way homeward. Stop ping at a Wiiyside inu fjr refreshment, they were astonished to find Miss Lank er awaiting their coming. 'I ho bridegroom was thunderstruck at meeting her, aud for a time could uot move a muscle, lie finally veutured to introduce his wife to her. Lizzie took the matter coolly .talked heard and made explanations, aud said, 'Let us pray'." The entire party knelt. Miss Lanktr, with trembling voice, utter ed the lollowiug prayer: "Our Father, who art in Heaven, Thou who carcst for thy children, who lovest the fatherless, the orphan, aud the unpro tected, have pity ou me.

Puss hurried along in advance of the royal train; and paid his i expects to the lord of the castlo the o;;re. - - ' CHAPTER VI. Puss became friendly with the enchant er, aud inquired if he really could change himself into an animal. J lie ogre replied by immediately changing himself into a ton, at which puss was tnncb frightened. 1 CHAPTER VII. j Puss inquired if he could change into little animal, such as- a mouse or rat. as he was afraid of the lion. The enchanter, without thiiiLiiK' heeamc a rat. nnd hubs devoured him at ouce. I CHAPTER VIII. When the king drove past tho castle, puss begged them "to euter tbe castle of the Marquis of Caraba." The king accepted, and was so, chai med with the rood qualities and riches of the marquis, that he gave . him his daughter, the princess, in marriage. CHAPTER IX. -"7T Puss havlu kept his promise, was highly honored for it, and lives the life of a geutleman of leisure, ouly huuting rats and mice wheu it pleased his faney. iation ; have mercy on this new wife.
