My trials began as soon as I was outside 1 door, lrsym;malliliecilmian,at one diNreraing aay bthVnrerad e nduion, whi ) ! hia borse into a gallop and proffered ' we kUc refuge in his hansom. Hut I had 1 :.rce hundred yards to go, and it rid3 dona for a jxor and aexmomi- ' 1 man to ride that short distance. How r. ! you are un :er the bwpreasiofl that is k free country, such as we kkre the happineas to " move on" in, a man. who not only has on a wi tiding raiment (which :s of itself a dangerooit thing to wear in the streets), but also carries boUqUCt MM8iaS in ring uuaa ins nttie unger, cm walk three hundred vards on the Queen's highway with bnpuauty, vou had hHter try it. All I know is, couldn't. The i -ibman, unable to comprehend my tusd under the cin-umstances, drove 'ose against the curbstone, keeping pace willi me as I went, touching his hat at intervals ejaculating com passionately, 'k"b. sir, you'd better 'ev a keb you did indeed," ami so akneainf me to a thou " in I times as aaurk notice as I should otherwise have attracted. Little boy! haying their attention expeeially aroused v the cabman, considered the occasion I ivorable for a demonstration, which threatened to take the form of -hj'inK all t'naiiuei1 ot dirt; and older persons who ' s mntered me, either appearc 1 to conshler that I had mistaken a bright day in .June for theSthof Xovnnber,anl laughe.l Ii rtsiTery, or regarded me with such iooks a the priest and the Levite must have bestowed upon the pmr wounded man who h,ul fallen amongst thieves, and evib nMy set me down as a thing tobeavoid- - d liKe the plague. Only a few irh and matrons, who sniffed a wedding from sfir, and eoaaaaam ntly felt a pleasant titiliatiou aller their kind, smiled a tacit approval. At bat I reached my lodging, and breathed freely. I placed my precious bonqm I in water and aal down, and ense I it i, and mediUted. And, as I meditated. it necorred to see thai Arabella, who had i" : parted with hcrbomput without some fen minntmf rmlecSion, had ultimately given it. to me with a design. She had alghed a little sigh, and had given me a eerj peculiar glance alter sue had comaaV milted her flowers t- mv kecpinar; aii'in. now, as ( sat and pondered, the meaninc of the siih and the irlance was, I tattered m Self, intelligible. Arabella was not indil f'T' id to me. I had tried to elicit whether were or not, but could not get any thing definite trom her; but now i could i deipret what was in her heart. "You biclielors," -he ha 1 doubtless t hought, "o and btnlsh the thoughsa awakened by tiie veiit of this aaoflliag by means of your billiard-and your smoking, and your adhak dlmlpalhai, w hilst we maideni have to sit at home, and mope and gnaw our hearts, ami feed on tender recollections, and nourish scarcely aeknow ledired hopes; bul I have discovered a way of keeping one biehcior in order; he Oarei not go atnoni: tho-e who would scoll'at my gift: and by the fate that befalls my Ixuupiet, 1 siiall know how he estimates the iriver." And BOW a -hiver came over me as I remembered that I was f ngagial to line out; and 1 mnt take that bouqaet with me. Arabella coul 1 not surely have intended that I should carry her 'flowers with me tlie drawing room, and then into the dininir room, and aftftwaidjs at dinner; why, I should never have got out of the bouse alive. Her worda arere, M Wherever yo t go," and my promise would be satis i e tori v fnlfilhw it' 1 carried the bamejuet kftotha haSjas with me, and kit it in safe i anteaty. To the man who took mv overcoat, therefore, I committed the dowers, with tin strictest injunctions to take particular i in oi them ; ami he;in-wered fervently tbal he would, but gave me a leer which

And why should she hare coaaaaended me in pariicuhtt for choosing M parlait amour" from other liquors? Other people showed the same ncaferenee. It may have been acciilentaf; but coaachmce makes all of naauat:cions. About 11 o'clock 1 look my departiire; rea s-timed my Ikiuij net about as joyfully as Christian Yeassuincd his bun die, and, with a heavy heart, found myself in a cabless thoroughfare not far from King's Road, Chelsea. It was iiiite three miles to my lodginga, but in the King's Koad I should be sure to find a cabin which I might hide myself and my bouquet. But suddenly a well-known voice cried, "Don't run away, Brown." I turned, and there was my very best friend. Jones, who, once upon a time, When I had been very roughly handled in a public journal, took the trouble to cut out the w hole article and send it to me, "In ease, as he mid, 1 should like to sec it. had never forirotten that fricndlv atten tion (especially as he professed not to read the papers generally, and never suv several articles of an opneaite character), and I therefore accosted him with extreme cordiality. M What is the matter P he asked ; vou .se iu out i if sorts." "I have had rather a Iryin daywl answered ; " a wedding this nmrniac, and a ilinner-jiarty this evening." 44 Xo wonder you arc low," said be sympathetically ; "you want a cigar and a cheerful scene. Hut what b the matter With your leit arm P h. concluded M Nothing at all," J replied, sharply, producing U,e boui .net. which I le..l I...1.I wocealsnenl behind my buk.

"), I see. Wei!, we aaa leave it with the man at the Rates.'1 " What gates?" " Come and see. I am a few pes too I low myself; and before I n home I mean to try the effect of some lively music and a lively spectacle." We bad been walking along pretty briskly all this while, and in a few more mimite" we arrived at some gales, which appeared lo lead into some d laminated gmrdeaa, and which wen- themselves surmounted by a gigantic and brilUan1 gas -lit star. "I'm not going in taiY," said I bluntly. u().)ju.-t take a stroll round," he rejoined, coaxingly ; "it will do yon good. The gardens are cool, the music is cheerful, and the dancing will make you die of laughing. Besides you wouldn't leave me all aione." In an evil hour, I paid my money, and paaned through the turn-tile ; and "then I feared to leave my flowers in charge of the gate-keeper. It w as different at a friend's hou-e ; b'".t at this public phu t- the precious bouquet might come to harm. The man, too, was very reluctant to take it ; said he would not himself he at his -t much longer, and would have to deliver over my trust to his se cet mr. I did not like the prospect, and determined not to part with my treasure. Jones was a little sulky at first, and said in a surly tone, "You'll gid awfully chaffed, my hoy;" but BUddenl V he cheered up again, as if his Very words had somehow comforted him. lie was iuite riht ; I did get awfully chaffed, but I adopted the tactics of appearing to hare been let out for the evening from t he Deaf and Dumb Institution. Bui to Jones I was lorerd to he as one thai heard. ; and he played to a marvel the part of a kind friend. His ears seemed to have become all ttt once supernatuially sharp, so that not even a whisper to iny disparagement escaped him; and he faithfully imparted to me whatever he heard. My equanimity was gradually disturbed, and, at hut, when Jones aakeo in a tone of horror, M JHd you hear what thai fellow said?" I answered, angrily, " No, I did not; and I don't want to know." Bat Jones having, perhaps, a keener regard for his friend's honor than for his own, rej lined, " Well, old fellow, there - a liniit tn everything, and 1 don't think 3'0U ought to stand that." I inwardly wondered whether Jones himself, in my position, would not h ive -toml ', and mock more, without show bag his valor; hut with a groan 1 asked., " Well, what dial liesiy M "(, nay 'dear fellow," replied Jones, erath a snigger, " shouldn't like to repeat it." ' ('an you point the man out y" I inquired. This Jones did with surprising alacrity. " Let us go hack and aak him, then," I said, trying to appear cool and comfortable. The man whom Jones pointed out was dressed asa gentleman, wai considerably bigger in en ry way than I, and was sitting between two wearers o bonnets, whom we may charitably j;stime to have been hi- wife and his mother in law. At my approach he showed some slight perturbation, which led me to hope thai he -u If- red, as I do, from a constilulional weakness (nothing more, I assure you), which some people mi-take f ir what is in certain circles known as " the tanks." I was encouraged, then-fire, to ask with Sfltnc haught iness whether he would oblige nw by repeating the remark he had lately addressed to ase. He obliged me with a readiness and emphasis wich slightly altered my opinion about hi- constitutional areakness; and which almost reduced me lo an awkward silence which Jones mlcht atvc misinterpreted. Fortunately, how ever, I was in pired to make u general re mark abottt the difficulty Of properly kicking any t'entleman who ija)p:ns to be sitting upon a bench; and the remark, aot Withstanding its truth and generality, so far trom meeting with his approbation, caused him to start up in a fury, Ihffjatcn damage to my nose with his h ft list, and seise mv precious bottquel with his rii?ht hand. Thereupon II ished sCToas my mind a piece of advice to the effect that "tke .threatened should Bevel wait tr act 'inplishaaent. but should always like the initiative:' and so, maddened at the flint I UC tion w!iih was being wrought upon my bouquet, I dashed my clenched right hand Into the (ace of my adversary, who staggered back against tree, and left upon my w hite glove a red stain. There were shrieks from the Supposed wile and supposed mother in-law (one of th m promptly scratched my bee), and a yell of delight from Jones, whose object had probably now been accomplished, without any inconvenience to himself. My adversary quickly recovered himself ati-l returned to the attack : but either 1 had been right, alter all, in my surmise alout his constitutional weakness (and his knees did really tremble more than mine), or the heathen d jitics tili inter poaa in favor 'f mortal men; my hurlv opponent gave me by no means tit for tat (though lie hail gloves on) grazed me just once upon the left temple, and on eloabag was, to mv surprise, thrown flat upon his back. He rose, and showed the greatest inclination to est the tenacity

As we lay, I was conscious of a rending of garments, and in a moment there appeared on either side of our prostrate bodies a leg, whh h I recognized as Jones' ; and I eouid dimly perceive that Jones was astride of US, and was keeping oil a veiling crowd bv whirling round and round his head something which I could not distinguish The whole affair had lasted but a few minutes; and now the authorities appeared upon the scene; and popular opinion being against me. I was declared to have been in the wrong.and was summarily Cected, after about twenty minutes' etijotmatt of Jones' "cheerful scene." Dogberry, with his usual sense of justice, would n't even let me look for my hat, so I took theliberty of putting on my adversary's, which immediately fell down upon my Shoulders, and gave mean opportunity of ganging his size. As soon as we wen.- outside the gates, Jones showed his regard for me by pattin g me on the shoulder, and saying, "Bravo! old boy! you did remarkably Well It I were VOU, I should wait until he conies out, and then finish the business." Now I am by no maans what pugilists term a "glutton ;" considered not only that I had done rcwarkably well, but also that I had been veiy lucky. I was a deplorable object to look at, no doubt, with m adversary's hat, which would not be restrained from dropping right over my head ; with my face covered with blood (trom the bonnet-wearer's scratch); with my white tie undone, and crumpled up like an ill-made pill ; w ith mv shirt front bespattered with red spots, and with one ot the tail- torn completely off my overcoat ; but I was personally uninjured, with the exception of the scratch, and a very slight Contusion of the left temple; win nas, considering my adversary's siae, I ought to have been pounded to a jelly. 1 therefore replied to Jones' kind suggestion. " My dear Jones, I am very much Indebted to you for to-night':! work, for if 1 had been alone, I should hive allowed myself, in the most pusillanimous manner, lose insulted to any extent short oi ; m r - sonal violence. I, therefore, cheerfully v( sign to you t he conclusion of the business you arc good enough to say I have thus far conducted sucoessftilly ; he my after ego : wait for my adversary, flnhth him oft, and welcome. As for me I shall be off by the first cab. But that self-denying Jones declined to M take my leavings" (as he put it), and in-si-ted upon seeing me sale to my lodgings, As we rode along, I demanded of Jones what had become of my bouquet, and learned that it had been "torn to smithereens;" and what he had whirled around his head to keep the people oil, and learned that it was the rent-off coat-tail, with " something heavyish in it." I eouldn'1 tell Jones that the " something heavy isfa " was the prayer-book Arabella had lent me (w Ith her name ii it, too,) that very morning, for Jones ha such queer ideas of a joke. He actually laughed When he told me that the coat tail and its contents had been torn from his hands, and, no doubt, be a carrie ! off as a trophy by 10000 onlooker. The dresded next morning cai te, and I presented myself at Arabellas house, when I followed the servant into the room where Arabella sat, she could not have looked nore dismayed if to the simple words, ".Mr. Brown,'' the servant had added, "with the cholera inoibus." " Whatever have you been doing';'' she asked, for the scratch all across one cheek and the contusion on the left temple told a tale of adventure. I felt inclined I say "Please ma'am, it araa Jonea," as If I were a little boy before his school-mistress; but I resisted the inclination, and irriuued feebly. I :-aw her eyes directed toward my empty hands, in one of which she no doubt expected to se e her bouquet triumphantly held. M Where are my flowers?" she asked. I shook my head sorrowfully. "You have left them home, I suppose ?" she said. Again I shook my head sorrowfully. "And where is my prayer-book?" she asked coldly. "Ina tail-pocket of my ovsrc at," I answered, desperately. " Why didn't you bring it?" " I couldn't," " Why not ? I thought it was in your coat p K-ket."' " So I believe it is." M Why didn't you look ?" " 1 haven't it." " Vou haven't your coat-pocket r " "No; I will tell you all about it; and pney, be as merciful as you can." And without screening myself behind Jones, I gave an holiest, straight forward account of my sad mishap. Arabella listened without i tit t-1 ruption,but grew more and more like marble as I proceeded ; and w hen I had finished, she rose from her chair, whilst indignation Hashed from her eres, and said, contemptuously, " So, after the language yon used to me yesterday, you dared to take Sty bouquet and ate prayer-hook into such a place as that ; anil my name in the prayer-book, too! Don't apeak I'll not hear a word; and never address me again as you did yesterday. Qood momma!, Mr. Brown." And she swept from the room with a distant courtesy. And she married the nein wdio is popularly known as Another. So the fatal bouquet cost one hat (a guinea), one overcoat (four guineas), a scratch on the men, a contusion on the left temple, a prayer-book (with Arabella's name la), and Arabella. I call it expensive. Ckttmben? Journal. A French Koimiuce. Onb of those little romances of which the Fnnch are so fond has lately taken place in Paris, and is thus described : M. Roheit, an immensely wealthy and highly accomplished gentleman, wellknown not only lor his valuable collection ot paintings and eaedissval relics, but for his skill as a designer and painter, hearing that one of his tenants, a Mr. B., whom he had never seen, kept one of the ino.-t extensive manufactories of fancy boxes and ornamental objects in Prance, called on him with a view to make his acquaintance. Entering the counting room he found a good natured, eccentric gratlenaan of middle age, who greeted him thnai "I suppose you have seen my ad vert isement, and have come to apply for that situation as a designer ?" For a joke, M. Robert replied that be had. Mr. II. supplied him with paints and brushes, and requested him to produce a d. ign tor a casket. M. Robert soon found out that what Mr. B. really wanted was an artist who would strictly carry out his own Ideas, and that these were pure, and formed on an extensive knowledge ot art. He soon produced a sketch which aq lad his employer to a dot. M. Robert very gravely engaged niin self, exacted good wages, and insisted on having several new articles of furniture I laced in the room which WU as.-igin d to him. Hut when he was Introduced to the work rooms, and found one hundred and fifty girls, many f them young and beautiful, busily employed, and was informed that he would lie required to supply them with designs and show the young ladies how they were to be car

ried out, the young artist began to feel as if he should need to be carried out himself. " Working for a living," said he to him sell, " is not entirely devoid of attraction." Being an accnmpliahed artist, he pleased his employi r, and. v. as delighted In seeing hi3 designs in steel, silver, enamel or wood. He took pleasure hitherto unknown in seeing his work in the shop windows, in the budoirs of his friends. This workshop life was carefully concealed, nor did nb employer suspect who he was. lut be soon found a more fascinating object in the daughter of Mr. B , who took part in the duties of the manufactory. She Was remarkable in her acoompushments and beauty, and M. Robert soon found that, as regarded taste and culture in all matters which especially interested him, he had never met with one like her. Step by step the pair fell in love, and he so ingratiated himself with the father that, after due deliberation, h consented to their union. Previous to the marriage the old gentleman spoke of a dowry. "I shall give Marie 90,000 I." said he, with a little air of hi lasting. " Ah, mon garcon ?" "And I suppose," added M. Robert, gravely, "that I. too, must settle someihimr on my wife. Well I will." This caused a peal of laughter, which was redoubled wdien the artist added : And I w ill settle this piece of property, house and all, with the building adjoining, on her." Bttt what was their astonishment when he drew forth the title deeds and i -lid . " You seem to forget that I am your landlord. Isn't my name Robert?" The young lady did not faint, but papa nearly die of astonishment and joy. There was a magnificent wedding, but the bridegroom has not given up his business He declares there is more amusement in being useful than in amusing one's elf. New York City. Tmj population of this city is variously estimated from 800,000 to 1,000,000. About one-half were bom in the United Slates, and the other half are from foreign countries, of forty different nationalities. The a usus returns set down the married, widowers, and widows as together constituting two-flftha of the population. The number of persons united in marriage during a year b 17,J0i. The number of births during a year is 31,000. The number of deaths during a year is 35,000. There are 500,000 people living in 0(1,000 houses, and bftO.OOO in 10,000 houses. What is required to feed this multitude maybe judged by such figures as these : 4,000,000 barrels of flour, and 000,QW bushcb of wheal are brought into the city every year. The whole number of animals received at the markets in a year, including beef cattle, milch cows, calves, sheep and swine, is 3,776,403 ; and our city meat bill for the year is over $:J0,000,000. There are 70) bakers, 1,400 butchers and 2,000 grocers, who lind occupation m furnishing food for the people. Not only meat, but drink, must he had for our population, and something has been done toward securing a supply of pure and wholesome water. An aqueduct, forty miles in length, costing $30,000,000, pours into our reservoir 60,000,. 000 of gallons daily. The total length of the ("rot n main pipes now laid is over 819 miles. The water has been introduced into 66925 buildings, occtuiied as dwellings and stores, i.'iiT manufactories and :o7 churches. And the yearly amount paid tor water rents is $1,319,544.20. Tea and coffee to the amount of $30,000000 are annually brought to the city. The money spent for intoxicating li piors is variously estimated from 'J ,000,000 to $68,000,000 a year. As not one man in all the ten thousands in the city raises a single grain of wheat, how do the people manage to secure the necessaries of life ? In seeking an answer to this question, we turn to commerce and manufactures, smd we lind the following suggestive figures. The arrivals at the port of New Vork in a year are 4,061 ; the tonnage entering and leaving the port 5,000,000. The imports and exports are $500,000,000. The aggregate business traffic of the city in a year is $3,313,618,ooo. The number of manufacturiDg establishments in the city is 1,100, with a capital of $65,000,000, employing 100,000 hands. There are 71 banks, with a capital of $90,000,000. There are 81 savings banks, having 007,1113 depositors, and $!Sii,57-l,343 on deposit. The total valuation of real and personal estate in the city is $065,326.614. Last year,18,030 persons, on $85,506,484 Income, paid $4,779,7"il taxes to the United States Internal Re. enue Department. Ve have seen that, though the people of the city do not produce any food, they are successful in securing supplies from every direction ; and the grand figures of business enterprise and activity we have given w ill explain w here the means come Irom, not only to sustain life in its best possible condition, but to give to society its highest culture and most luxurious adorn mcnt It is universally conceded that intelligence and virtue are the warp and wool of the social fabric of a republican community, and the statements which will follow concerning education, religion and benevolence, cannot fail to arrest attention. There are o00 public schools in charge of the Board of Education, with an average attendance Of 106,00$ pupils, sustained at an annual expenditure oi $:l,000,000. There are :J00 private schools, with an average attendance of 25,000 pupils. There are 430 churches, chapels and missions of all denominations. There arc i515 journals, new papers and magazines published in the city. There are .'il5 religious, moral and charitable associations The hailing national societies receive $000,000 annually.

Stmks Thompson, Professor of Medicine at fjresham College, London, una recently delivered a "Greshain Lecture on catching colds. The following extracts will be of interest to our readers: The prevention of colds is to be accomplished by keeping the skin in a healthy and vigorous state, so that it may at once resume its proper and normal condition wheai chills have been suddenly applied to it ; then the internal congestions are avoided or removed simultaneouslj with the external contraction and stagnation. The habitual use of cold bathing in the early morning b one very powerful means to this end; it trains the vessels of the skm to rise vigorously into renewed action after the application of a chill The relaxing influence of over-heated apartments should be avoided, because that saps the p over i f vigorous reaction ; but, in col weather, the utmost care should be taken to have the entire skin efficiently protected by warm clothing. The powers of the system in periods prone to the production of colds, and most especially when the temperature of the external air is between 32 and 10 degrees of Fahrenheit's heat scale (for that is the condition in which the danger is found to be most certainly incurred.) should be most carefully maintained by the judicious use of sustaining food, and by the avoidance of every kind of injurious derangement or excess. When once internal congestion has been set up, and the COM has been "caught," the thing to be done is immediately to bring back vi orous circulation and exhalation in the skin. The Turkish bath is one of the most convenient and certain of all contrivances far insuring this object ; in its absence the vapof bath or hot air bath may be employed. The BOtkm ot the bath is to be reinforced by the administration of stimulants, first and foremost amongst which stands concentrated food. There i; one expedient both tot preventing and curing " colds," which was not alluded to upon this occasion (says a writer in nature), but which is, nevertheless, as powerful as any of the measures which were described, and it may sometimes he drawn upon in circumstances when those plans cannot be adopted, in consequence of the anflerer being compelled by the exigences of life to continue to meet exposure to chilling iulluences. Th s is abstinence from drink, and liquid food of any kind, until the internal congestion is removed. Tlie remedial action through the skin does its work bydrawing away the superabundance oi the circulating fluid fron, the overcharged part. But this desirable result is even more certainly insured if the general hulk of the circulating fluid, or blood, is diminished by withholding supplies ot the more liquid, or watery, ingredient ; w hich maybe done where the digestive power is unimpaired, without in any way diminishing the richer or more immediately nourish ing portion. The instant the general bulk of the circulating blood is diminished, the excess contained m the congested and overcharged membrains is withdrawn and the cold is relieved. Somewhat severe thirst sets in; but, curiously enough, simultaneously with the occurrence oi this thirst, the congested internal membranes grow moist and exhale gently and naturally in consequence of the relict ol the overcharged rnanola All that is then necessary is to keep the supply of drink down to the point which enables some measure of thirst to be maintained, and during its maintenance there is not the dightesl chance of the recurrence of the cold. Tn London Builder says that the con tents of the stomachs of 118 sparrows have been examined, tabulated and re corded. Three culprits alone, out of this hecatomb, were proved by the unsparing search guilty of having lived lor twentylour hours upon grain. In (act, there were Ihffee thieves out of the 11; all the other victims Inul worked, more or less, for their living. Beetles and grubs, and larva- of all obnoxious kinds, had been their diet.

And this b the way be irot 1! f-::: is blue boota thai gave him his name : 5! -mother, the wife of a sea captain who wai at home but three or four limes S year, lived in a cosy little cottage ball hid among the trees that lined the road leading to the pretty village of s . Bobby was her ouly child. One day when he was about a year old his mtber cam home from a voyage. The day was Wei and the road w;is muddy, and the Captain had on a pair of big boots thai came above the knees. These caught Bobby's eye al once, and he hardly looked into his t itherV face. That day Bobby spoke hb first word, and that word Wat w hoods,' and Idlather laughingly declared that he should have a fauious pair as soon as he Was old enough to use them. Bobby did not forget his llrst word : sippets and shoes had no charms for him and passed by unnoticed: but as s oii a pair of hoots came into the loom, "hoods, bo ls, hood-?," sounded Grom the cradle at intervals till they were ou1 ' sight. As he grew older he beg in to a ?k when he would H big enough to wear boots 'ike papa ! The day he was six he received, as a birthday Lrift from papa and minima, the lamous blue boots and red tops. An what a day thai was! mamma pulled i!e boots on and Bobby was w ild with delight; he really had I pair of boots ol'hiown had them on, too ! First h Stamped his right foot, then the left, then both at once; he tried walking in them slowly, then fast, and then broke into a run, and kept it up till he caught one of the pretty blue toes in the rug, and he h-1! n his little stub nose, but he wasn't hen a lilt, because it was so short. Then he BMSl run up stairs half a step at a time, to see how much noise his heels could make in running down. Mamma told him I" stop or he would fall and get hurt ; bul Bobby thought he knew m sre than mamma, and by-and-by one of those pretty i'uht beela, ao full of ahining nails, ca o i almost the top step and Bobby came rolling down to the notions, bend and beela and nose and toes all together ha lump on the 11 or. This time his poor note sulfercd more than before, and Ute red drMs fell fast on the DUM boots ami on the floor to the great dismay of B v--. who began to cry : "I've spoiled my hoots! I vi- spoiled mv bootsf His mother feared he'd sptitlod hia nose, bul there wasn't enough of it to hun, and neither that nor tin- hoots had suffered any n al harm a little water m 'k'tvj both aa bright as ever. After breakfast, which was Blade musicd by the c instant thumping of Bobby's boot against high chair and table, he was allowed to go Inf the garden and make as much D ose Sfl he pll a-ed. Here was plenty of room, mui theb -were everywhere, almost everywhere at once: in the paths and on the grass, through the melon patch and the stra i berry bed, and under the apple trees and the plum tries, and finally np the bip grapevine Thb last adventure quieted him tor a little time: fr one of the I : e boots caught among the branches, and Bobby in his struggles to get clear, found himself hung by the mot. His loud cru -brought the coos to the n scue and Bobby celebrated hi escape by a short re-t. Then he walke I straight toa wash tnbol Watef to sec if his boots had sprung a leak. From this the cook jerk d him out very quickly and scolded him shandy, all of which made the same impression on Bobby thai it did on his hoots. Hot so a half remark made about having; "to grease thein." That was a new ideatoBohby; he was very sure he could take proper care of his own boots, a id he starb il straight lr the cupboard. The butterdish was high on the shelf but the ttrkh stood on the floor. After much struggling Bobby got the cover off; there WJ - nothing wiih whV'u to Cul oil Ute s Lid layers, tut Bobby didn't care for that, I w as equal to anything; dimbins np by the window he Stepped b 'Hi b et .at i thfirkin and stamped s round till the boot arere well greased. Jumping to the flooi he rushed into the parlor to U il m ther oi his smartness, m.-irking his path by s:. itten of butter.

"Why," mid Bobby, " 1 do befieve my bnohsan trying la talk,1 and he b at hit head forward to listen. He could kanily believe hia cyrs as he aaw the right nod ita toe in n solemn manner, the b it nod ding back, and then both ol them nodding and bowing and twisting and wriggling all together.

But neither Bight HOT Left odd any attention to his cries, only wa kid the faster; through the garden, out of the gale, acroaa the road and straight over the fence into the field beyond, w it li a bump tin bounced the bread and milk that Bobby ate for dinner, almost out of his mouth.
