Ancient Seales Discovered.

A pair of scales much like those of the modern pharmacists is among the multitude of objects discovered this year in excavations about thirty miles from Thebes and recently exhibited in London. The scales are finely finished, haying a beam about four and one-half inches long, with a ring at each end of the three cords, and the pans, about the size of an English penny, are slightly convex. “You say my daughter loves you?” questioned the old man.. “I’m sure of it,” replied the young man. "Well,-well,” returned the old man, looking the young man over critically, “there’s no aecountifig for tastes, is there?” And somehow, although the young man knew that he ought to be happy over the possession of the girl, he couldn’t help scowling and speculating on that remark of the old man’s.—Hartford Times.
