On a certain day Browning roet one '
of his servants whose jo? It was to ; f

basket of grapes and other fruli on her , t
arui. : t
"Oh. Olusepplna." lie crksl, "let roe j
help you f" and seirod the basket sud- j
denly l'roin her hand.
Trie woman. overwmsmou i?> wn , condescension,
protested, "Troppoonore, ! t
signore." : t
"Nonsense!" said the "You ore , u
always helping me. Won't you allow tl
me for once to help you?" ! I
Still the woman resisted, wiving. "K f
Is not for such as you. O slgnoro." f
This was more than lie could lieue. *
"Wo are all made of tlM> same elay, I a

held one handle of the lvasket until 1
they reached the palaoe door. ;
This same worthy wornnn Is fond of 1
relating a story of h.^r master which 11- *
lust rates another side of his character. ^
lie had paid her wwWj' account. and : 1
there remained 1 centeeimo as change. \ *
The woman showed tin* lit tie coin, say- H
ing shyly. "I cannot offer this trifle to 1 "
the sljjnore." r
"Yes. my gofnl Giuseppina," be snki, f
taking it from her band; "it is <?>e j *
thing to be just and another to Ihj gen- i 1

The Europeans turned pale, as though *
suffering from an acute attack of seasickness,
and the symptoms tbev developed
were Identical, for that dinner
would not stay down.
The chief, in alarm, inquired wixrt
had ni^de his friends so III. One of the
sufferers, whose eyes protruded from
their sockets, and afraid to trust him- ' e
self to speak, placed his handkerchief 1 c
to his rifouth and Jerked his thumb in :
the directiou of the skuH. i e
The chief grasped the situation and j u
with unaffected concern tried to com?

An EiprrMlvr Poitirript. j ^
A curious postscript was ouee added t
to a letter by General lsruel Putnam.
A spy named Palmer, sent by Sir Hen- ^
ry Clinton, the British com man tier, had . ^
been detected furtively collecting information
of the force and condition of the I
post at PeeksktH and hud undergone a
military trial. A vessel of war came up ?
The Hudson in all haste and landed a ]
flag of trace at Verplnnet's point, by u
which a message was transmitted to B
Putnam from Clinton ciaitnln;: the sold >
Palmer as u lieutenant in the British
service. Putnam replied-: j
Headquarters. Aug. 7. >777. i _
Edward Palmer, an officer in the ene- [
my's service, was token as a spy lurking d
within our lines. He has been tried as a f
t spy and shall be executed as a spy. and a
