Ala« for tkat Arcadian period, wkea a soft word in a tailor's ear was us good as g-dd for the nonce, and vrheu nogentlentaaly customer ever dreamed of insulting the artist by paying cash down, thus reminding him that it was a Vasaaees transaction, and destroying the romance of the situation. How pleasant was that half hour before the manwr, trying on the new suit, -when politics and not fiuance were discussed And then the cordial shake of the Jband at parting, followed by tke customer's gentle remark ; "I will call in and see you in the course of this month, or the next," and tho tailor's cheerful response : " Oh, any time when y<*u feel like it." i'-ule i'uf^ dear as remembered "kisses after death are those halcyon hours. They are gone, never, never te raturu. A new race of tailors kaa sprung <*», a keen pay-d-owa-or-else-you-donrt-get-the-•etatibee race, whose suspicion of mankind generally w a reflection upon tike open, free-hearted confidence of their ancestors. A lady eerreapono'ettt of a fashi< s. paper discourses wisely on coquetry in night •eletaes, and ako explaiuis to an iguorant world tbe modifications of tike much ridiculed chemiluon.

The following anecdote is from the St Steven's Beview: — A mechanic's wife, who had carried her husband's bumble dinner to his Workshop, read the newspaper w'-iile he ate his repast " Jack," said she, " I see that the poor kid tapped prince is goin' back to Sofia— it's hard, ain't it for a man to be torn from his wife by a lot of scamps ?" " Wife," said Jack with his mouth full, " Sofia's not his wife " *• Not his wife! Then the czar did did quite right !'' Here is an example ©f the astuteness of Air Justice Byles as an advocate.: — " Once he was for the defendant in an action for breach of promise of marriage. Tin* plaintiff prored tlif promise to marry an.l that the defendant had married someone else. The case seemed a question of damans, hut Byles put two questions to the pl.-iiniiff : ' Did not he p;*o« mise to marry jou when his father was dead ? ' ' Yes.' •Is his father dead ? ' * No,' * That is ray cas«\ my lord,' said , Byles. • But, brother Byli'S,' said the Judge, *ue has married some one else.' Wei!, my lord.' said B les, ' his wife, may die before his father, or afterw ird.% ' and he may outlive them both, when it will l>e time to fulfil tho promise.' Tne . pl.iintiff had in fact, alleged in her l pleadings an absolute promise, an! the proof of a conliiional promise was what was ca'loil a fatal variance, which could nut Im aiucudcd."
