Waiting for dead men's shoes to n poor holiness, st best, and psrliaps it serves tha waiters right in tha end, , they become losers. But there to a fiendish ingennity of cruelty in the caadnct of a man who leaves a certain legacy in bto will to fire tbe imagina- , lion of such and such a relative, and r then revokes the bequest by a codicil, giving the reasons for his ao doing.— Attached to bequests well known in tbe Icre of anecdote, phrases have been used which must have considerably lessened the satisfaction of the legatee. An Englishman once left the sum of live shitUags "to Mary Davis, danghter of Peter 1'elaport, which is sufficient te enable her to get druuk for tbe last lime at my expense." Another gentleman directed his executors to purchase a copy of a picture resenting a riper biting tbe hand of the man who had saved it, and to give that to a certain friend of bn, in lien of a legacy ol three thousand ponuds, which tic had left him by a former will, now revoked and burned. "I give aud devise to my son Daniel," said a certain man in bis will, "only one shilling, and that is for him to hire a porter to carry away Ihe next badge and basic be steals. " Another man bequeathed "to John Abbott and Mary, hie wife, sixpence encll, to buy for each a halter, for fear the abends should not he provided." | A Mr- Darley left to bis wife a shilling, "for pickldg my pockets of sixty | guineas." A bookseller is said to ! have left the handsome legacy of fifty pounds te "Elizabeth Parker, whom, throngh mjr^bolfoh fondness 1 made thy wifo.witbout regard to family, fomc or fortune ; aud who, in rct turn, has not spared innsi unjustly to human nature, aavo highway rob- ' I bery." Dying men may enjoy havL ing a laugh at their relatives' expease; but this method of late revenge scarcely serves to koep their memory I "fragrant and green." I A Pathrticlncidrnl I At ouo of the schools ill St. i aiuis. numbers of tbe pupils were in, the ^ habit of bringing llicir luncheon with Utcm, which at uoou they ate together. Among tjiose who did not go home for dinner, the teacher -n a particular room noticed a little girl ■ who always sat looking wistfully at f her playmates when they went out 1 brought any herself. . The child was ' neatly, but very plafiriy clod, aud the .

(Juick as thought lift: girl clasped her hands [ over II, ami exclaimed, sobbing, r 'Don't touch H, teacher; and don't*1 1 tell please! it's only blocks." And ° that was a fact. Having uo dinner to the poverty of the family, the child had carefully wrapped up a number id ' small blocks in paper, aud brought "* die package to present the ap|Miarance J of a lunch: It was nothing- a mere ridiculous incident in school life; hut il was sufficient to make older and Wis- r heads than here feel sad. , The (M-opIo of the Netherlands are . about to undertake one of tho greatest j engineering opsr itions ever known — j hunqd nnder tbo wate rs of the Zuyder , Z •».'
