A young lady, who moves in the best lociety, entered a West-End photographer's itudio not long ago, and taking three letters out of the sßse seal-skin bag she carried, requested IjMFto photograph them for her., The letters were the most tender and ttdent loving missives imaginable. They were addressed to the young lady herself. The photographer's curiosity got the better af his judgment, and he finally said: — " You'll pardon me, but this job is a Utile wusual, isn't it?" "Is it ?" she said, smiling. "It strikes me so," he replied. h l don't 'jee why you want photographs of those letters since youhave the letters themselves." " Don't you ? Well, I do. Suppose the etters were to be lost or burned, or desuoyed in some other way ?" " Wouldn't the photographs be destroyed Lit as easily as the letters ?" "Perhaps not, especially if they were not tept in the same place with the letters. But I'm not afraid of losing them by fire or n any such way as that. The fact is the Ink is fading, and in a short time it will be illegible." Therejis a girl for you who won't miss any thances in the breach of promise business. HE BET WITH HIMSELF. A stoky is told of a queer gambler oa the Continent who was in the habit of making »agee» with himself, and was correspond* mgly cheerful or downcast and gloomy, win jr lose.

He kept a regular account mentally with his right and left hands, and thus realised alf the excitement of (letting without being subjected to the liabi||ty of dropping his wealth, but at the same time he was constantly on :he verge of actually participating in the {ante, but never could muster up eyurage to deposit the money on the table. His great scheme was to select a number In a lottery, which he.wejild carry in his head; and he awaited the - report of the drawings with feverjsh anxiety, which for several days previous t» tfee event almost prostrated bim, ss nerveue and worked up would he become. One time he actually won the first prize in :Usway. The gain of so much wealth, in his Hind, proved to be a shock he could not withstand, and superinduced an attack a> wain fever, to which he succumbed.
