Correiipidence in color with the general r eh of the surrounding medium is cspeeli-ncommon wherever a single tone predominates largely in the wider aspect of nature.

All the conspicuous creatures get immediately weeded out by their carnivorous enemies, owing to their great obtrusiveness and loudness of dress; while those alone survive which exactly conform to the fashionable whiteness of external nature. So, too, in the desert every bird, lizard, grasshopper, butterfly, and cricket is uniformly dressed in light sand color. The intrusive red or blue butterfly from neighboring flowery fields Frfts promptly eaten up by the local bird, whose plumage he can not distinguish from the sand around it. The intrusive scarlet or green bird from neighboring forests finds the bread taken out of his mouth by the too severe competition of his desert brethren, who can steal upon the native grasshoppers unperceived, while he himself acts upon them like a red danger signal, and is as -t .s 1 snow-lipid- d water-work- weary-look-in- g shirt-sleev- sedulously avoided by the invisible insects as if he meant intentionally to advertise with flaming posters his own hostile and destructive purpose.

He that is not married is to be pitied; he that does not intend to he is either a fool or has reasons that are not to any man's credit. True happiness seems to consist in not only enjoying all that we po css but in feeling good that others enjoy the same privilege. Goii'ulation that conics to a man after death has released him from his struggles is of no more use to him than the epitaph on his tomb'tone. By making the best of the world under adverse circumstances we challenge its sympathy; by making the worst of it we merit its contempt. The man who tells with truth all he knows, when the time comes to do his talking has hut little to say, and sits down when he has said it. Generosity grants man credit for his good motives; but the world in its loses sight of motives, only sees results, and cures him for his failures.

One old gentleman of elephantine build used to creak up the church aisle by the pew where this child sat every Sunday. In hot weather this old gentleman used to wear yellow nankeen trousers and in winter he wore woolen pantaloons with stripes of gray and very dark blue. But hot or cold, rain or shine, there always depended from near the waistband of nether garments a big with large seals. The old man walked slowly, and made the floor of the church in his vicinity tremble with every step, but despite the moderation of his walk and the eagerness with which that chain was watched, only an indefinite idea of the artielo was ever gained. Whether there was only one seal or a half a dozen upon the end of tiie fob, the child could not know; only had an indistinct vision of a heavy mass of gold which he thought must be w ortli dead loads of monev. There was a thin old gentleman, also, who used to have a long gold chain and presumably a watch at the end. The watch was a matter of faith, but the chain was tangible. One end was caught by a hook which represented a tiny snake into the lower buttonhole of his vest, and the other end disappeared into a little pocket at the top of the mans pants, and the child used to wonder if the thin man ever took off his vest in a hurry without thinking of the watch, whether or not he would swear when the strain came. I he style of wearing watches has differed somewhat in this degenerated age. The fob, which the large old gentlemen wore, and which was considered out of style then, has come in again, lhe fobs, however, are generally of black ribbon, with a gold buckle, or something of that sort, to relieve the somber plainness. Many nice, pretty young men. who alw ays have their hair nicely brushed, and who have either small, genteel mustaches, with the ends curled up, or else have neat blonde colored, and combed right ami left, for the wind to blow through; many of these wear double1 which travel across their vests with a depot or signal station at their vest pocket upon each side of the young man, and the puzzle is to decide in which pocket is the watch. Sometimes it is in neither. Many ladies wear their watches novv in little pockets upon the left breast, with pretty short chains running out to the buttons of their dresses, and reminding one of little boats moored to a buoy. Many more of them wear the cute little chatelaines made like a fob chain and hanging from the belt. At the end are cunning little watches about the size of a But, as before intimated, the task of telling how chains are worn is easier than telling about the watches. fob-chai- n side-whiske- watch-chain- half-dolla- s, r. n'e-.o- for the defendant ed to know what said Well, at J wo, ac. ...,,! on. 0 i ' ,c we agree with you u agree with us in the ir'u He couldn't prot-f' of the dissenters d.
