How A MALE FLIRT WAS PUN ISIIED.-People who frequent that portion of Broadway between Tenth Street and Madison Square are occasionally attonished to see so rmny well dressed men prom eia<iirig the street, with appa rently. no other object in view than to stare at and ogle the la dies who pass by. If they con fined their ogling to those who are on the same level there wouhi be no complaint, but as tbe presert fashion permits respectable w' I men to dress rather "loud," sonw4 unpleasant experiences are the r suit. One of these masculine flirt recenty annoyed the young ladi of a well known millinery by fr- - quently passing by on the oppo site side of the street and throw intg kisses to the employees. Thi was kept up with steady regulal ity for neariy a fortnight, until it culminated in the receipt of a note written by the fellow asking one of the girls to meet him, and name the time and place-a council of war was held, and it was decided the invitation should be accepted, and a lonely spot in Central Par. for the rendezvous. The hero of a thousand kisses was promptlt on hand, and so were the girls five of them, accompanied by a male escort. The five all carrieo short cudgels, and no sooner wer they sure of his being the right man, than they proceeded to fla gellate him severely.

HOW MULES CARE INTO F.ASHION. p) Few of the farmers of this coun try are aware what a depth of >r aratitude they owe George Wash i incrton for the introduction of mules ir:to general use for farm n prrposes. s Previous to 1783, there were k very few, and those of such an in It ferior order as to prejudice farm d ers against them as unfit to corn y pete with horses in work upon ~t the road or farm. Consequentl) e there were no jacks, and- no'dispo. 3. sition to increase the stock; bu; e Washington became convinced I that the introduction of mules generally among Southern plan ,r ters would prove to them a grea It blessinr, as they are less liable t' be injured than horses by careles n servants. c As soon as it became knows abroad that the illustrious Was, ,. ingtor desired-to stock his Mount >f Vernon estate with mules, th. e King of Spain sent him a jack aan e two jennets, from the royal sta e bles, and Lafayette sent another A jack and two jennets from the e Lsland of Malta. The first was a gray color, 16 b1hands high, heavily made, and <o sluggish nature. He was named . the Royal Gift. The other was n called the Knight of Malta; he n was about- ao high-lithe, fiery, it even to ferocity. Lt The two different sets of anima!s 1e gave him the most favorable op y portunity of makiri improvement 1e by cross-breeding, the result o,f ,t. which was the favorite jack, Corn ,t pound, because he partook of the Y best points in both the originals. u. The General bred his blooded l. mares to these jacks, even taking n those from -his family coach for ct that purpose, and produced such in superb mules that the country n was all agog to breed some of the v. same sort, and they soon became ,l quite common. This was the ori ggin of improved mules in the Uni ~d ted States. There are now some !of the third and fourth generation is of Knight of Malta and Royal Gift mo to be found in Virginia, and the if great benefits arising from their js introduction to the country are to ts be seen upon every cultivated acre ie in the Southern States. it FaRIrTENED CHILDREN.-A lit il tIe girl whom we knew was thrown tl almost into convulsions at the ~n sigbt of a dog or a cat. The pa it rents would not allow either ani -5 mal to be about their premises; d and with equal good sense, would er never permit the child's terrors to re be sp)oken of in her presence. If, by chance, one of th~e obnoxious animals approached her, she was always taken up, as if by accid ant, and her attention diverted. Af. - ter a time, she gained courage al enough to look at the causes of rnl her terror, when their beauties et and good qualities were pointed ex out to her, though she was never rs asked to touch -them. Now the ss child has grown to be a young of woman, conspicuous for ber fond >n' ness for all animals, and especially be for dogs and cats. Had her pa ie rents abruptly attempted to make iS her conquer her antipathy, its imn ds pression would, in all probability. re have been so deepened that she Is. could never have risen above it. ut In a similar case, of w bich we have n- been told, the child died in convul -e sions, induced by being compelled or to touch a horse, the object of its nl- nervous terror.
