Mrs. Brown was there, but the little had gone before Christmas. Poor Mttle pil- grim! his weary feet were at rest, and never more would his gentle knock be heard at the door of those who, like myself, forgot that ne- cessity and stern want often sent about these wanderers from house to house, and that their employment might be far more unendurable to them than annoying tous.

Or they gormanddize like gluitons, to the infinite dis- gust of all persons less beastly than them- | selves. People at watering places should remember that there is no public resort where their foi- bles are more easily detected, for every one has leisure to observe his neighbor. To be natu- tal, affable and courteous is therefore the only safe plan. Generally, when pat on airs, they deceive nobody but themselves, and instead of exhibiting their importance, they only betray their silliness and vulgarity. . A SUCCESSFUL TRICK. A young and skiifu! disciple of Robert Hou- den was some time ago traveling in the north- ern provinces ieee: giving exhibitions in natural magic, in company with a young w: now director of a wrlating estabighment fe Paris. In their ieenlotiags they arrived at the town of R——., more ren: for its manu- factures than = the os per of its inhabitants. Here roceipts magi- cian were absolutely nothing, and despair reigned in the hearts of our two adventurers. What was to be done? “By my faith,” exclaimed the assistant magician, ‘it will never do to say that wo did not make our expenses! I have it!
