' A phort time ago Conductor Verill, of the Virginia and Truckee express train, was going through his traia when he noticed a lady asleep in her sett. Her head was resting on the window sill and her feet extended to the aisle. ' Her dress wis so disarranged that her ancle and m goodly portion of an exquisitedl y fashioned calf were plainly risible, and a number of men a few seats further down were contemplating the scene with evident. satisfaction. Mr Verill, who ;«lw«J« kept things pretty straight on. his train, noticed this, and tapping the woman on the shoulder awoke her. 'Madam* ex* cuse me for disturbing you, but your dreis is so disarranged that your ancle is exposed.' ' Oh, that makes no difference, sir,' replied tlie lady, smiling sweetly—'it's nothing but cork." Veri . rill, was in: the begguge car in less than four seconds, wiping the perspiratiofc from his brow.

After allowing yourself proper time to rest, don't live an hour of your life without doing exactly what is to be done in it, and doing straight through it from begiffc ning to end. Whatever it is take hold of it at once, and finish it np squarely; then' to the next thing without a moment dropped out between. It is wonderful to see how many hours prompt people make out of a day ; it is as if they picked up the moments the dawdlers lost. ,If yo« ever find yourself where you hare so many things pressed on you that you hardly know where to begin* let me tell" you a secret. Take hold of the .first one that comes to hand, and you will find that rest will all fall into Gfe, and follow after like a company of well-drilled soldiers; and though the work may be hard to meet when it challenges you in a squad.it is easily ranquished if you can bring it into line. - .

The crockery dealers found themselves suffering from the free distribution of what they had to sell, and protested against the incursion into their field of business. Failing to carry their point in that way, they determined upon retaliation, and vow buyers of teapots are- given tea, just as. bnyen of tea were presented with teapots.
