The governor replied: "Because some day that boy may become n governor, and you may want him to pardon you for a crime. One dark, stormy night, many years ago, you stopped your boat on the Mississippi river to take on a load of wood. There was a boy on board who was working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis, but be was very sick of fever nnd was lying in a bunk.

Pa. 16-1 y TALKING TO ONESELF. Soliloquies Are Itnro Becntmc We F?nr They Mean Madncna. Talking to oneself bas this obvious advantage over any other form of oratory or gossip: One is assured of u sympathetic audience. But it has also this peculiar drawbuck: It is supposed to be one of the early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly so perhaps. A mad doctor might rule the habit out of his diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular belief is firmly rooted, aud it is for fear of this belief doubtless that we talk to ourselves even as wo dress our hair with straws so rarely. It may bo said that wc never do address ourselves at any length except in the delirium of a fever. In moments of ordinary excitement of course we utter to the wind some sort of appropriate ejaculation. Delight wrings from ns a cry of "Hurrah!" or "Thank heaven!" even though there be none by to echo us. Similarly in any disgust we emit one of those sounds whose rather poor equivalents lit print arc "Ugh!" and "Faugh!" and "Tut!" Much further than this we do not go. "Why. what an ass am I!" cries Ilamlet In one of his soliloquies. Omitting the first word and transposing the last two, the ordinary modern man does often soliloquize to that extent. But he could no more soliloquize to Hamlet's extent than he coukl speak in decasyllabics. Nor is there any reason to suppose that that class of the community with wnicn, contemptuous of his own fluency, Hamlet compared himself la or ever was more prone to soliloquize than any other. In tlio matter of soliloquies we cnnnot accept Hamlet as an unbiased authority. We merely find In him the possible origin of the belief that talking to oneself Is a bad sign.? Saturday Ilevlcw.

Ilcr attractions must have been considerable.

One day the protector surprised Jerry on his knees in the very act of kissitnr tlie Imlv'c li.nwi " " ?? ?? ......v.. ..iuiiinTii coiuiy demanded the meaning of the scene, and Jerry, with a pretty wit, exclaimed that he had long been courting "that young gentlewoman, my lady's wopian," although without success. lie was now therefore humbly praying her ladyship to Intercede for him. Cromwell turned at once to the waiting woman and requested to be Informed why she refused the honor his friend, Mr. White, would do licr.

If we had a timothy meadow which we wished to plant to corn tlio coming season and feared the ravages of the cutworm, as there would be good reason to do, we would not plow It until the 20th of May, would keep the disk and harrow at work on it up to the 20tli and then plant.
