Labor-Saving washing Fluid.
'Quails,' the queer corresponlent
vof the Boston Museum, who is dodg.
ing about the country, picking uip
and inventing all sorts of good things,
relates the following laughable story.
'whichl he pretcnds to get from
a Vermonter in a stage coach:
IWel, gentlemen, I live in the
State of Vermont, and in the village
of --: 'taint no matter, where I
live- the story is just as good without
beintg located: so,4as I once before
stated, I live in the State of Veranomt

flourishing villages in the State

for the last year boarded a young
physician, who. will probably one day
or another be Iaster of his profession,

I et here nor there, at
this part of mly Story: s), as I was
going to say, about a year ago, my
wife did'nt enjoy very good health,
and it came very hard for her to do
Atho washain. although our family of'
r course, wasni't very large, inasmuch
as I at that time, didn't have the
pleasure, nor honor of being a father;
-but a, I was saying, it camne mighty
hard fir wife to do the washing, and
it aleays made her sick for a day or
ti afterwards; and as I was trying
2 find a girl, one day, I dropped in
a store to talk the matter over, and
says the merchant to me, says he
'There aint no necessity for having
a washerwoman, now,' says lie, 'for1
I have got a dozen bottles of a patent
labor-saving washing fluid, that'll
make your clothes just as clean as
new, by just stirring them up in
a tub with a stick, and letting 'em
hang on a line to dry.'
'What do you charge for a bottle
of it?' says I.
'Well, seein' it's you, (says h.)
you may have a bottle of' it fort
seventy-five cents, though I calcuate
to sell 'em generally, for a dollar
a bottle.'
'If sixty-twvo and a half cents will
pay for a bottle. (says I,) I'll take
it home and say no more about it.'
'W~ell, seemn' it's you,' says he,
take it along, but don't tell nobody
what you patidi for it, or it would ruin
say business with the neighbhorB,' and
then, says he-'A fter you have used
it once or t wice, anid find that it star'ts
the dirt as I tell you 'twill, l'd like
for you to give me a recommiendhationi
to put in the newspapers, and I. will
make it all right at the end of the
quarter.'
'Certainly,' says I, 'if the fluid
comes up to the scratch, i'll do the
handsome thing by you.'
'Well, gentlemen, this wvas on
a Saturday afternoon, about font'
o'clock, and I took my big black
bottle of fluid, put it in my overcoat
pocket and started for home. Now,
thiniks I to myself', wifWe always
picks up her clothes Sunday night
and does up the washing Monday
mr'ning, after breakfast; arid so
'twould be a good joke for me not to
lot her know anything about this
blessed fluid, but get up Monday
morning, while site is asleep, piut the
clothes in a tub pour' on the fluid, stir
'em up with a stick, and then hang
them up to dry. 'Lord!' says I to
myself', right in the street, its loud as
I anm talking nzow, '.I'll do it, by
dager. if' 1 have to get up at two
.Mock!' So when I gets home I
ja taikes th: bottle of' $tid out in
thu wood-shed, and pokes it up on a
high shelf among a lot of old iecer
bottles and blacking boxes, and went
whistling around the house just as it'
nothing had'nt happened.
'Saturday night I went to narket
just as usual; and Sunday we both
wcnt to church in the Firenoon, and
stayed at home and talked about our
future prospects in the afterinoonz; bit
I kept a keeping still about the
fluid, and I did'it let on but what I
expceted le woul do the washing
the next morning just the same as
ever. l.ut I did'nlt sleep much that
night. I kept a thinking about
stir-rilng up that till) of ciothes, and
getting 'ei out to dry before daylight
-Once I got into a short dese, and
dreamed I was swimming acrIss
a deep river of washing-fluid. ail the
rocks at the bottom and both sides,
were all petrified shirt bosol.s and
pillow cases, and there was an oll
washerwonanu on the banks of the
river, who kept a stinin ug on us

Mi Wo extract the follomin glit
tie story from Miss Bremer's "North
ern Loves and Legends:
"Certainly you have obsorved how
strangely, sometimes, the eloudsi a'
morning aid" evening, group them
selves round the sun, and are. lighted
up by it, and you have thought,
sonetinms, 'if this should be repre
sented in painting, people would say
it is unnatural; it is not DTue !' So,
even, is human life. We often find
events, looking when related or des
cribed in books, even, unnatural, and
yet are perfectly true to reality, to
nature, though not to every day na
ture. For example, if any one should
tell that, once, a first kiss was given
by a young, modest lady, publicly,
and in a public square, to a young
man that she saw for the first time,
certainly all young ladies and old la
dies, and ycung gentlemen and old
gentlemen, would, with one voice.
call out,'it is not true; it is impossible.'
Well, I ontreat your ttention to the
following litt'atory, for whose ttath
Itd re- t i al
. pe yyouth, wtve for tA si
diesrILut witho tit 19f, pursuing
them. Ie was poor hmd without
connections. Still he studied on liv
ing im great poverty, but keeping up
p a cheerful heart, and trying not to
look at the future, which looked so
grinly at him. Ilis good bumcr and
good qualities made him beloved by
his young comrades. Once he was
standing with some of them in the
grent square of Upsala, prating away
in hour of leisure, when the attention
of the young men became arrested
by a very young and elegant lady,
who, at the side of an elderly one,
walked slowly over the place. It
was the daughter of tlie governor of
Upsala, residing in the city, and the
lady with her was her governess.,
She was generally known for her
beautyllond for her goodness and
gentledess of character, and was
looked npon with great admiration by
the students. As the young men
now stood silently gazing at her as
she passed on like a graceful vision,
one of them exclaimed :'Well, it
would he worth something to have a
kiss fromi such a pretty mouth!'
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who w'as looking intently at
that pure mid angelic face, exclaimed,
-as if hiv inspiration, "'Well, I think I
could have it.'' "What!" cried his
friends in a chorus, "are you crazy ?
Do you know ner? etc. "Not at all,"
he answ ered; "but I think she would
kiss mec. just now, if I asked her.".'
"What: ini this place, before all our
eyes?" "~In this place, biefore y'our
ieyes." "Freely.?" "Freely." 'Well,
ifsewill give you a kiss in that
manner, I will give you a thousand
d (ollatrs" '"And I?"' ''And I!"' cried
three or four others, for it so happen
e ed that several rich young men were
.in the group, mnd bets ran high onl se
e imnprobtable an event, and the chal
lenge was made and received in lest
itime thani we take to relate it.
eOur heiro--my authority tells no

li gularly good looking at the sam<t
