"John James Grey" so ateodhie aanteia the College catalogue. Among us he was known as 44 Lady Jane." I can not tell you how odd it seemed to me to stand 15 years ago in frost of a small, faded portrait of the poor IHUe 10 days' queen, whose head was the football to the vaulting ambition of Messrs. Northumberland & Co., and to recognise in the sad browa eyes the same wistful appeal I saw in, another pair when I last looked into them.

To Preserve Strawberries: Strawberries to be preserved should be large and ripe, but not at all soft. Tbey will keep best if gathered when there has been no rain for two days. Having hulled them, select the largest and finest, and spread them out separately on flat dishes, having first weighed them, and allowed to each pound of fruit a pound of powdered loaf sugar. Sift half the sugar over thera. Than take the inferior strawberriej that were left and those that are over-ripe; mix with them an equal quantity of granulated sugar and mash them. Put them into a deep dish or stone jar, and set them In a pan of boiling water till they become thick juice. Strain it through a bag, and mix with it the other half of the sugar that you have allotted to the strawberries which are to be done whole. Put it into a porcelain kettle, and boil and ekim it till the scum eases to rise ; then put in the whole strawberries, with the sugar in which they have been lying, and all the juice which may have exuded from them. Set them over the fire in the sirup, just long enough to heat them a little, and in a few minutes take them out and spread on dishes to cool, not allowing thera to
iuuuii eaca omer. mice on wnat scum may arise from the additional sugar. Kepeatthis several times, taking out the strawberries and cooling1 them till they become quite clear. They must not be allowed to boil. When quite cold, put them with the sirup into tumblers or jaw, and cover with paper. The addition of a pint of currant juice and a pound of sugar will be a great improvement both to the flavor and to tke.oolor of the sirup. This may be considered, and I admit is, a tedious way of doing strawberries, but it pays, both in baauty of appearance and in the exquisite flavor which the fru't re-! tains).

Ho oorues out especially strong in
anguage, and already a voar or turn'
since would listen to a temperance Iar-
ture or a political harangue or any like effort, and so vigorous was his memory that a few hours afterward he would be found perched on a dry-goods box or some other improvised rostrum rehearsing the whole speech to an admiring audience, both matter and manner being marvelously perfect, The tiaale would most probably be a succession of treats
by his listeners, until the bright intelligence was drowned out in lieor or stronger liquor, and this baby bacchanal was assisted home and to bed like the most inveterate of old toners. If not quite so far gone, ho might be met with on tho street singing ribald songs in his queer, piping tones, or dancing to the music of a hand-organ, or glibly cursing some one who had insulted " him. Tho Lees occupy an humble dwelling in Marshall Street, and Georgie has been picked up and carried home intoxicated so many times' that nothing is thought of it, and it causes" no more remark than the most ordinary occurrence. Despite ail his mother's efforts to restrain him, at times locking him up a prisoner in the house while she is out at her work, Georgie continues his drinking habits and tipples when he can obtain money, until now, atr less than seven years of age, he maybe, and is, regarded as a confirmed drunkard. Kecently, when he had been imprisoned by his mother to prevent Wa getting in trouble, he forced the window in her absence and jumped from tho second-story window to the ground; and soon after this enfant terrible was sauntering leisurely down the main street, touching his hat to his friends and tossing kisses to the ladies on the opposite sidewalic, or in upper windows. A few
days since ex-Governor Hedle was engaged in a litigation in the Circuit Court at Paterson, when he encountered
Georgie, who has tho cnlree of all pub
lic and most private places about town. The ex-Governor was so amazed at the boy's precocity, as exhibited in his lan
guage, logic, elocution, etc., that he gave him fifty cents at parting. Georgie
was advised by a lawyer fnend to take it direct to his mother, to which the besotted infant mado answer, "No-o-o; I regard this as a providential indication that I am going to 4 beer up.' " In tha evening of that day Georgie was carried home m a helpless condition, and having over-indulged, even for him, he came near to death. This latter escapade was the immediate cause of tha present clerical effort for the reformaof Peterson's baby drunkard. But Georgie'a head is much top large to admit of his reformation, and unless his extraordinary cerebral dovelopmentcan be reduced there is little chance of any change. In this respect he is a real monstrosity, there being fow men, comparatively speaking, who require so large a hat ; he wears Ik. A queer little pinched face, with an ancient, faded look, an under-sized figure, clad in short trowsers, little white jacket, cardinal hose and neat boots, and bristling all over with aggressiveness; an enormous head surmounted with a man's hat cocked knowingly that is Georgie.
