A schoolmaster thus describes a moneylender :—"He serves you in the present tonso i he lends in the conditional mood ; keeps you in the subjective ; and ruins you in the future." " Does your sister Annie ever say anything about me ?" gasped an anxious lover. " Yes," replied the little girl, "she enid if you had rockers on your shoes the'd make nice cradles." The export of gloves from Denmark has risen in 10 years from 12,000 f. in value to I 1,200,000 f. (£48,000). The manufacture of j gloves in the town of Luxemburg also gives employment to about 2000 workpeople, who produce annually nearly 800.000 pairs, valued at £100,000. Two Sißters of Mercy went the other day to the house of a Mr Wood, a magistrnte living in or near Manchester, and asked for '' a little charity. Mr Wood did not ask j whether they solicited charity for themselves ( or not. He simply tapped them on the shoulder, and announced to the astonished ladies that he arrested them in the Queen's name. They were taken to the police station, and detained all night, though they were not confined in colls. On Saturday they were brought before the magistrates, charged under the Vagrant Act with begging, but were, of coarse, released. A German florist, iv a high state of irritation said, " I have so much drouble mit de ladies yen dey come to buy mine rose. Dey vants him hardy, dey rauts him doubles, dey vants him fragrant, dey vants him nice golour, dey vants ebery dings in von rose. I hopes lam not vat you calls von uncallant man. But I have somedimes to say to dat ladies,' Madame, I never ofteu see de ladies dat vas beautiful, dat vas rich, dat vas goodtemper, dat vas youngs, dat vns clever, dat vas perfection, in von ladies, I sec her much not.'" A collision botweeu a steamship and a gigantic fish, which took place the other day in the vicinity of the Tong Jong Islands, is reported by the 'limes of India, TheMeasageri.es Maritimes steamer Anadyr, on its voyage to Shanghai, was suddenly brought to a stop by a violent shock. The cause of the collision was found to be an enormous ray, or fiat fish, estimated by those on board to weigh from 80001 bto 10,000:1. The monster was lying asleep on the top of the water, when its repose was rudely disturbed by a "dig in the ribs" from the fitem of the steamer. After the first alarm had subsided, efforts were made to haul the creature on board, but owing to its-unwield-lness, all attempts in this direction proved fruitless, and the flsh, doubtless even more " shaken " than the passengers on the boat, was reluctantly allowed to move off and seek such remedies for the injury it had sustained as are to be procured in the mysterious deep. It is cheerful to hear of a gigantic fish—not a sea serpent—thus relieving the monotony J of a sea voyage by its appearance. The story, however, should be a lesson to other monsters of unusual dimensions not to take their afternoon naps on the surface of; the water frequented by steamers. We are couosellecl by the wise Hot to put trust in princes ; but we are also counselled that the sick need the physican.
