The Most .Accomplished Woodsawtes.—Old Mr Crabapple is very much, pleased with, a gentleman "whom be has engaged to saw wood. "When he piles the wood," said old Crabapple to his friend, " if one stick projects beyond the * others, he pounds it with, the axe." " He's a slouch," replied old man Stiibbto; "you should see my wood-sawyer. "When he gets the wood all piled, he takes off the rough projecting ends with a clawhammer saw." " Does lie ? Well, he couldn't pile wood for me," broke in old Spitzenberg; "my sawyer piles the wood carefully, then he goes over the ends with ■with a jack-plane, sand-papers them down, and puts on a coat of Tarnish before he ever thinks of asking for his pay." Then they all went into the Grand Hotel after a big drink, before Syntax could tell how Jiis wood sawyer silver-plated all the ends of tho wood, and nailed- a handle on each • and every stick to pick ifc up by. A French critic, speaking of a new tenor at the Paris Opera, dcscribess his transition "from a roaring lion into a sheep with a cold."
