The Most Beautiful Hand.?Two
charmingwomen wer^fe discussing, one
dav.^wHMt is which constitutes beauty
in They differed in opinion
asfmuch as in the shape of the beautiful
members whose merits they were discos*
sing. A gentleman friend presented hinp
self, and by common consent the qoestion
was referred to him. It was a delicate
matter. He thought of. Paris and
the three goddesses. Glancing from one
to the other of the beantifnl white hands
j presented to his examination, he replied
at last, "I give it up?the question is
too hard for me ; but ask the poor, and
they will tell you that the most beautiful
hand in the world is the hand that gives."
Striking Rhyme.?Not feeling very
well the other day, we turned our attention
to poetry and Petersburg, and here
is the result:

" Siutit.'UT I ftersSursr to mr "
