Pa.. owns a blooded bull, which has long been an object of terror to all emplo 'yed on the farm, owing to its fierce and ar gressive disposition. This bull had al ways been under the control of its owner, who declared that, so long as any one stood up boldly against the animal, no fear of its :ttacikin-' him need be entert:ained. 1,- urgel this upon his hired help, but he never conId eimploy any man who wold not out himself in a sife placa as n :%s the bull assumed a bellizerent atti:ud', and Post's wife frequenily apj-eded to him to have the animal ki.lad, believing that, sooner or later. it would rebel against the anthority of her husband, and attack him. The beast was to valuable an animal to be smicrid, and Post, ridiculing the idea that the bull could master him, refused to p:,rt with it. On Thursday evening Post had fin ished milking a cow in the barnya d, and was returning to thet house n% hun he noticed that the bull. which was in the yard, shook his head savagely as he passed by it, and had an unusually vicious look in its eyes. Post pasced on, paying no attention to the animal. Hehad gone only a short distance when he heard a quick step behind him and a low bellowin" which he knew was made by the buTl. He turn ed quickly and saw the animal bearing down upon him. He grasped the bull with one hand by the horns hoping to prevent it from goring hi:n, and the next instant he was tossed in the air. He fell on the bull's head and neck, and was tossed the second time, this time being thrown to the opposite side of the barnyard fence. Be was badiy brui ed and his clothing was torn by rouXh handling he had received, but believing that if he tlio wed the bull to remNain master of the lield its useliulnoss would.bc gone :and its kiing a neces sity, P t determined to assume the of feasive kimseli and usu every effort to coquer khe av1age a:imnaL lie is a large andyuus ..ir man, and, arming himself with a iteavy club, he juaped o .er the lence and advancel boldly on the bull, which was pawing the Ind and bellowing furiously.

Among the frequenters of a well known Parisian restaurant was a cer tain mothodical personage, who dinei there every day, and always at thc same table, which the proprietor, witt a due regard for so regular a customer, especially reserved for Iim. Once, however, by soie nistake of the waiter, he found on arriving his usua place already occupied by a stranger and, inwardly fretting at the disap pointnent. entered into conversatiot with the mistress of the establishmnot, who presided at the counter, and awaited the intruder's departure at patiently as he could. The lattei seemed in no hurry, for, after consult. ing the bill of fare, he ordered anoth er dish and a fresh bottle of wine, see ing which the habitue, who woulc rather have gone without his dinnel than taken any place but his own, ro solved at all hiazards to get rid of th4 unwelcome zuest, and addressing th< dame duz comptor in a low tone, in quired if she knew who the individua at his table was. "Not in the least," she replied "this is the first time he has beer here" "And ought to be the last," he si1 nificantly remarke4. "if you knew a. I do." "Why, who is he?" "The cx-eutio..er of Versailles!" "31.n Diu!" exclaimed the terrifiet dame dut c.npluir; and, C.lling hei husband, imparted to him the informa tion she had jut-t received.

Whereupon. armed with the docu ment in question. he presently crosbet the room to where the stranger wa: sitting, and inq ired if he were satis fied with his diuner. "Pretty Wiell," was the 'ansver "but the service might be quicker. Why don't thr bring what Ilordered?' "Monsieur,' replied the trateur, as sumine an air of importance, "I air compelled to say that your preseuc here is undesirable; and that I mus request you to leave my house as sooi as possible, and on no account to so foot in it again." "What on earth do you moan?' asked his astonished guest. "You munt be perfectly aware,' continued the other, "that your beini seen here is most prejudicial to me and-" "Speak plainly, man!" impatientl2 interrupted the stranger.

You're very rich, you know, my dear, and therefore I love you fondly for your wealth alone. I know that Ishould say it is your beauty hat o'er my doting heart a spell has thrown, Put I am frank; I deem it is my duty say I love you for your wealth alone. ought to swear your eyes had wrought my captume, That love was wakened by your voles's tone, That but to gaze upon your face was rapture; But no: I love you for your wealth alone. Suppose I said I loved you for your manner, It might be true: you fascinate. I own: But I've enlisted under Mammon's banner, I love you fondly for your wealth alone. My constancy I claim Is thus attested; Love based on-beauty goes when youth has dlown. But if your money is but well invested. I'll love you always for your wealth alone. -Rambler. A SPRING CLEANING. For a whole week Number two Bred gar Vilas. Camberwell New Road, had been turned "upside down and inside out." as poor Mr. Clayton declared, "till there was no rest for the sole of one's foot," and each morning' as he started to catch his train at Kennin' ton Church with his son, he vowed that never again would he undergo the avonies Qf "a spring clean." But he afternoon of the last day at length ar rived, and Mrs. Clayton and Wini fred, her daughter, with their one servant, wore busy as bees putting the finishing touches to the household ar rangements, though it must be said that Winnie, who had just finished her last term at boarding-school, and who was not yet fairly domesticated, was a more ornamental than useful element. However, she had not been idle, and at last all was finished, and. rather tir ed and flushed with her exertions, Winnie went upstairs after a somewhat makeshift dinner with the best inten tions possible of clearing out the closet in her room. If it had been a linen-closet, or a china-closet, or a preserve closet, or anything but the closet it was, there is mo'telling what Winnie might have ac -complished. But those four - rows of dresses, 1hanging smoothly down from their re. .spectivo pegs, proved fatal. They were dresses of her ante-boardine :school period, and she had had hardIy a glimpse of them for two years or more. em on came next, in the
