HE THOUGHT HE HAD SEEN HIM BEFORE. At an Oddfellow's balAhe other day, relates a ChristchurcflPj^htemporary, a young gentleman came suddenly face to face with a dear Ad fatherly-looking gentleman with w^.te hair and of highly respectable appearance. They both stood transfixed. The same idea flashed accross both of them. " Your face is familiar to me# very familier ; but I can't remember where we have met so often." However the friendly impulse wets carried out; they shook hands warmly and partook of a friendly glass, and departed, still ignorant of each other's name and occupation. But the young man was determined to solve the problem, and he seized on a waiter and said to him, " Tell me, waiter, who is that distinguished stranger with the long white hair ?" ' And the waiter whispered lowly, "Please sir, that's the pawnbroker." A cat finds its own tail by looking around for something to play with, From just such trifling causes the greatest discoveries of all ages have been made.
