*LIFE- One day, at Edinburgh, Lord Rosebery realized the disadvantage of owning swift horses. His brougham had met him at Waverly Station to take him to Dalmeny.” Lord Rosebery opened the door of the carriage to put in some papers, and then turned away. The coachman, too well trained to look round, heard the door shut, and, thinking that his master was inside, set off at once. Pursuit was attempted, but’ what was there in Edinburgh streets could overtake those horses? The coachman drove seven miles, until he reached a point in the Dalmeny Parks where it was bis lordship's custom to alight and open agate. Here the brougham stood for some minutes, awaiting Lord Rosebery’s convenience. At last the coachman became uneasy and dismounted. His brain reeled when he saw an empty brougham. He could have sworn to seeing his loréship enter. There were his papers. What had happened? With quaking band, the horses were turned, and, driving back, the coachman looked fearfully aloug the si¢es of the road. He finally met Lord Rosebery traveling in great good humor by the omnibus.— Argonaut. “ Heah, you Silas,” exclaimed the old colored woman to her }usband, ‘take dis yer rabbit foot you gib me yistidey fer luck.
