,2? THEIR MISTAKE. Let' iifi," Bii Farmnr Ilawfls, as he rose from the breakfast table, "to-days SitnnU'. isn't it?", ' V '.'Yen," rejliil bit wife, " 'lis Satur day, and I don't see how I'm ever to get thin uousa rigUUjJ. First thing I know 'twill be Monday, ami then there'll be the washing and ironing. Doar, dear, it's work, work, wori T "Well, don't fret, Jane; we most plan it 10 to have a little rest to-morrow. I know Sunday isn't maoh of a Sunday in this ont of the way woodsy place, bnt we can make it aa restful aa possible. "Tom," he continued, addressing hie ton, "we'll cut those treea over there on the brow or the Lill, and after dinner you may drive over to llammondville with a load of aprles." "Yes," aaia Mrs. Hawos, "and when on go yoa can carry the children and me as far as Mrs. Wilber's. I've been promising to go down thoro for a long tiraa, and now is as good a time as any." Tom and his father foiled the trees and returned to the bouse where a piping hot dinner awaited thorn. Their morning work bad sharpened their ap petites, aud they .did full justice to tho templing viands whish good Mrs. Hawea spread before them. "Come Tom, if you're through dinner, we'll load up tbe apples," said Mr. Hawes, in the brisk tone characteristic of a niau who makes every moment count. Tho fruit was soon in the wagon and Tom drove up to the farm bouse door. "Ready, mother?" he called. "Yes, and soon bis mother and tbe two little girls, Nellie and Sue, were packed away on tbe seat. "Tom," said she, as they alighted at Mrs. Wilbur's gate, "thero's a bundle under the scat I want yoa to take to the girls." . "All right," and Tom drove off, whist ling as merrily aa only a bappy boy can, Beaching Uammondvillo, he drove im mediately to the bouse of Deacon Jenk ins. "The deao'on ia in the parlor," said Mary, tbe girl, in answer to Tom'a in quiries. "Please tell him Td like to see him a moment." Presently the kindly old gentleman appoared. . "Well, my lad, what is it? ' ."I have some very nioe apples out here in tbe wagon," began Tom, earn estly, "the best kind of bating apples; I would like yoa to come out and look at them." "Really, my lad," returned the dea con in a somewhat surprised and digni fied tone, "I hardly think it proper to buy-" "If you look at them, you'll surely buy them," quickly interrupted Tom. "There isn't a better apple in the mar ket, sir; I know you'll liko them; they're genuine Harveys, everr one, good and sound." "But I don't approve of buying ap ples," "Let me bring a full measure for yoa to see." "No, no, I don't care to look at them nnv. Virliins I ouffht not to Durchase them to day, but you may bring me over a barrel Monday." "I can leave them now, if you like.sir; they're right bandy." "No, not now. Monday will be time enough." . "That's a great note," muttered Tom to himself, as be turned away from the door; "I've three minds not to bring them at all. Why couldn't he take them . now, instead of making me drive over again? Guess they've got company; the deacon was all dressed up and so was Mary. They've been good customers of ours, and I think it's downright mean to Eut a fellow to so much trouble," and e drove briukly away. "Hellol" he exclaimed, as he reached Main street, "what's all tbe stores closed for? Some big man must be dead; won der if it's the president! Gaess I'll drive around to the hotel and leave that' bun dle with the girls and ask them what's np." . Accordingly he drove to the hotel where his two elder sisters were work . ing; they saw him coming and rua to the door. TTulln m'rlar' wu Tom'a bovish M.W.W, O'- , - . greeting; "what are yon pinked np so for?" "Why, Tom Hawes.what ever brought you here in tuose old ciouiesf asitea n,riflf in a renrovinff voice. "And how came you to bring that load of apples? Folks will tmnK yoa are a. tiAiit.hpri." iiided Sarah. "IM Ilk to know what vou are blazing away like that for?" asked Tom, indig- nantly. ' 1 m.jusi as good as any douy else, 'if I haven't got on a broadcloth anil "Qf oonrse you're just as good," re turned Carrie; "but you migm nave a little more pride, and come here looking shabby. Rut what are yoa going to do with those applet? ' "Sell 'em, of course. I drove over to Deacon Jenkins', but he had company, I guess; he wouldn't take them to-day. Say, girls, what are all the stores closed for? Is tho president or anybody else dead?" , . . VWhat are the stores closed for? Why, Tom, are you crazy? It's Sun day." . ."Sunday I" exclaimed Tom, opening his eyes in astonishment. '0f coarse; there's the Baptist bell ringing now. Honestly, Tom, didn't yoa know it?" queried Sersh. "Honor bright, we thought 'twas Sat urday. Father and I cut wood all tbe morning, and I've carried mother and tbe girls down to Mrs. Wilbur's. If I don't hurry out of town, my name isn't Torn Hawes!" and catching np the reins, he drove rapidly away, with rather a sheepish look on bi usually frank face. teaching Mrs. Wilbur's gate, his mother and little Motors resumed their places in the wagon. He knew by their faces that they were conscious of their mistake. "Yoa didn't meet with very good suo oess in selling the apples, did you? asked bia mother, a knowing smile hor ning about ber month. - "No, and I guess yoa've found tbe reason," returned Tom. "My! wa'n't maroma'afaee red when Nettie Wilbur aa'ked if we didn't dress up, Sundays. Twaa too fanny, wasn t it?" and Nellie burst into a merry laugh, in which tbe others heartily joined. ; ' "8, papa's at the wood pile, euttin Wood," cried littla Bae, u t&sy cams ia sight of the house. "Him don't know it's Sunday." "Don't say a word about it," said Mrs. Hawes, "uutil he asks about the apples." ..... "Here we are, all back again, papa," shouted Nellie. "So I see, so I see," replied her father; "and judging from your faevs, Sou've had a right merry time, I reokon. low's this, Tow? Didu't yoa hell an ap ple?" "No, father, not one." "Uow'a that?" "I only tried Doaoon Jenkins. Ha or dered a barrel to be delivered Monday. He's a very pious man, yoa know, and don't believe in buying apples on Bun-da-." "OnSuodaj!" ' 1 "Yes, papa, to day's Sunday,. Honest true, 'tis," oritd Nell. Then followed a general explanation and a cboru of laughter. It is needless to add that Farmer Hawes has been qnite attentive to the almanac since their mem orable mistake. Kir Moses MonteQora, In Leghorn, on the 21th of Ootobor, 1781, IUoliol, tbe daughter of Abraham Mocatta, gave to her husband, the mer chant Joseph Elias MonteQore, his first born son, and thev namod the child Mosos. . Sir Moses, now in his hundredth year, though suffering some physical languor, retains in their full power bis mental forces and all the quickness of his hu mane sympathies, and can find at will among tlie superb stories of his memory the incident or scene he wants, which he relates with eyes that sparkle aa in youth. He is a tall man of majestio presonoe; his handsome featur s, unwontcdly firm in repose, have the most attractive mo bility when ho speaks or smiles. His interest in all matters of any im port to mankind oontinues unabated. When the recent ooronation ceremonies were being arranged in Russia, be sent letters to the principal rabbis in Russia and Poland, askiag that there might be festivities in their schools on ooronation day inclosing a sum of 10 in each let ter for the purpose. He always directs prayers to be offered in the schools of Jerusalem on tbe birth days of tbe queen and prince of Wales. The Oily of London college, soon to be opened by the latter at Moorfiolds, re cently received Sir Moses' check for 500 He has always been the friond of chil dren; not many months sgo he appeared at a charity bazar, and bought continu ously a great quantity of toys and trinkets, which he as continuously gave away right and left to tbe hungry-eyed littlo gamins who crowd around such gay scenes. One day last May (1883) Lord Shaftos bury, meeting Dr. Herman Adler, ex claimed: "Your great Judas Maccabwus has just sent me 93 for my Ragged schoolsl" A pound for each year of Sir Moses' life. When I ssked Dr. Adler to tell mo in a word the sum of Sir Moses' effectiveness, he replied: "Ry his ex ample he has stimulated his brethren in Europe to think of and work for their oo religionists in the east, and his sus tained efforts, indireotly the origon of the 'Alliance Israelite' in Prh and the Anglo Jewish Association bore, have in spired all the exertions made during the last year to rolieve and rehabilitate the persecuted Jews of Russia. About two months ago a warm friond of Sir Moses, Alfred A. Marcus, of Bos ton, sent, in honor of Sir Moses, a fine harmonium to the Evelina hospital for the sick, in South wark road, founded by Baron Ferdinand Rothschild.whose wife, Evelina, was a relation of Sir Moses And a the centenary of this beloved patriarch approaohes,8igns are not want ing of the universal at trest it excites.

I have also heard that a cele bration in his honor is under consider ation in the oitv of Mew York, warmly seoonded by, if not originating with, his personal friend, the Rev. Dr. Isaacs, son ol tlie itev. Air. Isaacs, iounaer oi the Jewish Mossenger; and here in Eng land preparation are being made to cele brate worthily the interesting date. Harper's for November. "T Cant Help Ourselves!" "Dreadfully! I just hate to wear mine. Would't it be terrible if there shoald be an accident?" These words, uttered In a sepulchral whisper, were wafted to me on the breeze as I leaned over the railing of the steamer Charles P. Chou teau one evening last wetk, says the St. Louis Spectator. , This evidently eman ated from one of a couple of modest and neatly attired yonng ladies who were engaged in earnest conversation not far from me. My inind, finding nothing to feed upon in the long lines of parted water upon which I was gazing, I seized with avidity upon this wandering scrap of conversation, and I fell to analyzing it, wondering what possible connection there could be between a lady's wearing apparel and the possibilities of a steam boat accident. What was it she hated to wear, and she did wear, and why did she bate, and why, bating it, did she weai it? Because of this myttifying conversa tional fragment. I played eavesdropper and listened with all ears in hopes of hearing something more which might prove a key to the enigma, but they bad evidently exhausted the subject and nnm at.tiilvinir the turbid Missis sippi water, as though pictnring their own lifeless corpses floating upon the tide. All at once I epied a lady ao- inii'nliinM aaatml in clojU) DrOXimlt tO the aforesaid maidens.

No woman would williugty bo caught dead with dirty I mean' with orocked feel; and vet, if anything were to happen to this boat there would b a terrible revelation. Why, if some one were to suddenly issne the command now, 'Off shoes and stockings ;' you'd see every woman flop down on ker knees and draw her podul extremities up under her kirti like o many sin convicted peni tents at a protracted meeting. Just you, for experiment now, when you're talking to some of these girl, leal the con versa lion round to childhood days, and irg gebt wht fun it would be to paddle with Ur fett in the water, as she rand to do Ihen, and soe if she don't dinplav a sen sitiveness propter than Lord ityron's when any oue chanoed to refer furtively to bis deformed member. "You see, we cau't help onrelvea. You're just nobody nowadays if yoa don't wear black silk stockings, and yoa can't wash 'em it spoils them to wash thorn; yoa just shake them out and wear them all summer. They are black; yoa know, and it don't show." ' This was too much. I got tip and walked eff to tho far end of the boat by myself and prayed. I prayed that the boat might spring a leak and go down, so that the two thousand pairs of black stockings might have a nhanoe of getting washed before the summer was over. Disraeli and Wine. "How do yoa manago to keep so healthy?" be was asked by adyipetio fop, "By dining off a sardine," was the answer, and there was some truth in this. To the end of his life Disraeli al ways ate very sparingly when alone, and this enabled him to keep a good appe tite for public occasions, thereby rebut ting the presumption, which bia pile faco snggested, that he was consump tive. In this connection some remarks of his about wiuo may be mentioned; Hard drinking was in fashion during bia youth, and at public dinnors men who let the bottle pass were hardly ruesrdod as gontlemen. Disraoli, who could never stand much wine, suffered a great deal from this social u-age.and besot him solf to study the demeanor of meu who could drink deep without being any tbe worse for it. Lord Melbourne was one of those, and he gave Disraeli a wrinkle by saying: "You can drink if yoa don't talk; if yoa talk much yon needn't drink for people will think you are drunk and lot yoa alone." It. is obvious that the exoitement of conversation must co-operate powerfully with the fumes of wine in making the brain reel. Dis raeli, having noted this fact, went fur ther into the aubjoot by observing that a man's oonvivial propensities are always taken for granted if ho talks in praise of wine and appears to be very critical about it. Some of his remarks savoring of the most refined epicureanism may therefore be asoribed solely to his tem perate desire to find excuses for not drinking. He was not a judge of wines, though be protended to be, and once al low d himself to lay down tho law about Burgundy against the late Lord Sefton. A droll, trait in him was that ho spoke enthusiastically bout certain choioo wines, but he never described any sort of liquor, even gin. A reason be onoe gave for "saying something kind" about brandy in the presence of a person ad dicted to spirits would have bad a Me phistophelean ring if the subject of the observation bad not been, humauly speaking, irreclaimable: "I could not speak ill of his only friend." "I should call brandy bis enemy," interposed a lady. "Ah, well, a man batos his one my the worse for -hearing, 1'iin well spoken of," was tlie' mild retort.- Tem ple Bur. - . , Tbe First Russian Printer.' .-MM ' , According to the Novoe Vremya, tho Sroject of celebrating tbe three bun redtb anniversary of the first printer, Ivan Feodorof, who died December 17, 1583, has been receiving attention in Russian literary oiroles. Feodorof, who was at first a scribe, founded at-Moscow tbe first printing press established in Russia, of which the first production was the Apostol, (the Acts and Epistlos dividod aocording to the requirements of the Liturgy) printed in loo-l, and still to be seen in the Synodalnaya Typograpbia in Moscow. Being acouaed of heresy, Feodorof migrated to Lithuania and established another press in tbe neigh borhood of Vilna. fie afterward went to live at Lvoy, where he set up a third press, from which issued another edition of the Apostol. He quitted Lvoy to set tie at Ostrog, which owed to him the fourth press established in Russia, tbe onerwhich subsequently became si famous, and whence iesued in 1580 tho Psalter and tbe New Testament, and in 1581 the celebrated Ostrog Bible, pub lished through the exertions and at the expense of Prinoe Constantino Ustrozh sky.
