The tfbarp lawyer managed, after much careful im»* neuvering,to so confuse the wit ness that the only answer he could obtain to his question was ‘I don’t recollect.” Then the lawyer had had this answer returned to him a score or so of times, his patience gave out. “Tell me, Mr. J.” he exclaimed with biting sarcasm, “do you ever remember anything ?” *‘I can,” was the response. “Can you carry your memory hack for twenty years and tell me a single instance that happned then?” “Yes, I think I can,” returned the witness, who had Raided some composure. f »* “ Ah I” eJcclaitued the lawyer, gleefully rubbing hit hands in oi- thodox legal fashion.

Horace Greely said “Go West;’ but George Barntow gat(3 better advice in a speech at Metropolitan Temple. He said that every man should own his home", if hfe can. That philosophy which tells a man to drift on over the oefean of this uncertain lifef Without rt home ot his own,- is wrong. The man who does hot own his homo' id like a ship ont on the open sea at the hazards of the stofm. The man who o#ns his home is like a ship that has arrived in port and is moored in a safe harbour., One matt should no more be content to live in another man’s house, if he can build one of hfg own, than one bird should annually take the risk of hatching in another bird's oest, and for my own part 1 would rath er he able to own a cottage than to hire a palace.

The delay was fatal. Before morning; Mollie; a lovely maiden,who had been nurs ing a sick friend, was delirous,and in a few days was dead. Bcarcely had the bereaved parents pressed a farewell kiss on the oold lips of their dead daughter, tiefofC the second daughter Was battling with thfi fever. . It was then that the sorrowing father wrote to his sis ter: “Mollie is dead, and Ora, We fear, will seen fellow her, our family physician isdeudyour neigh bors all dead, or moved out ot town; no nurse or help off any kind to be had for love or mottey. 1 am doiug the cooking, and my dear wile the nursing. Pray for us.” After awhile’ there came a feeble little note from the sick girl. “Tney are all dead but me. 1 knew when father and mother died, but 1 was too sick to kiss theft good-by. I am better, and have a kind nttrse; but oh, So few ever recover that i may relapse and follow th6‘Others yet.” It was many weeks before the sick girl could be taken from the plague- stricken town into the country where her brother and sisters were. Then one of them wrote to the ed itor of the New Oileaos Picayune: “Ora Iulh come out to rrs, hut 'so we»k that l am jieahiiH of every breiuh that frfAVftr Ivef white cheeks.
