As ho began tlie fall, in the energy of desperation ho, with both hands, grasped the almost-smooth top of the fourth-story- wiudow cornice and there luing in tlie air, a distanoo of sixty feet from the pavement. Ho then gave an ^exhibition of nerve that torriflod every ono who saw it. fracing the toe of*one boot againnt tlie window frntno he gave bis body a slight ]>ondulum motion away from the house.

Some workmen think themselves “tired” when they are only poisoned. They labor in factories; breathe air with out oxygen, and live in an atmosphere of death. They are, too often, allowed to smoke, and thus add fuel to the flamo which is consuming them. They knock off work “ tired " and listless, when they are merely weakened by fonl air, and miulu dull and heavy by an atmosphere charged with disease. They keep the wihdows shut and close tho door on health, while they lift the gratings of the tomb by breathing and rebreathing the }K>ison from their own lungs, and tfae floating particles of matter about tfatm. Open the windows, let in the sunshine and the breeze, stop smoking, and you will soon find that it is the poison of confinement, and not labor, that wearies and tires.—Montreal Her- aid and ftfrQt j j* ; < v > ? !

A STURT OB A HIND. We hear a groat deal about rings now* ^ aft ays, snd nothing vory good of. them, e: ther. I heard of a ring the other day . tl at told a story—in fact, ita own story. . J lie ring glistened on the flngor of a e tshwoman through the suds in a tub. 1 lie lady of a certain hotiso in this city h id advertised for a laundress to come U i her house on certain days. Tho ad- v irtiocmont was answered by a neat, r .ther refined-looking woman. When ti io laundress had begun her work the li dy saw, shining oq a shapely hand, a p retty and peculiar ring. She requested t le privilege of looking at it. The worn- a n hesitated a moment, nnd then nerv- o inily held out her hand. “ That iif a* Mas* ring,” anid tho Indy.- - i “It in,” responded tho laundress, iis she turned her faco away, “Whorodid yon got it?” fuikcil the ltidy, omboldoned, perhaps, by the man ner of the wearer of the riug. •' 1 , “It id my husband’s.” At what college did he graduate ?” At Yale.” In what class ?” i “ In the cla-s of ’75.” : That ended tho interview for tho time, Us tlie Indy could by no means get from the washwoman the name of her hus band. The lady had beon thus unlady like, perhaps, and curious because lier son wore a class ring exhotly like the one in question, and was a graduate in l|he class of ’75 at Yale. Sho told lum the story, and one night he followed the ’ laundress to her rooms in Michigan ave nue, where he found an old Classmate and college chum poring over some sec ond-hand law books. He works in the daytime, and so dees his trump of a wife. One day he will be admitted to the bar, ^ he will work hard, she will help him, and when they are rich they oan afford to smile at the story of the ring—which is strictly true.—Detroit Chaff. a . paut in Anstin sent faer colored servant, Matildy, to the grocery store to get a loaf of bread for breakfast- Matildy got back pretty soon witli the bread, and as the lady of the house .took it sfae remarked ; “ This is nice, fresh bread.
