Come and nee them at R. H. CUTLERS "I can never forgive her," laid Dorothea, leaning her head on her hand, and looking sweetly peusive. Melancholy became her cast of countenance; and perhaps, even now, smarting under the faithlessness of her lover, she was not averse to appearing well in the eyes of Simon Trillion. Not that she thought of this now, but it amounted to an instinct with her. Had she been floating about the Atlantic on a raft she would have taken care to look her best; she would have knotted her hair into some bewitching tangle, or she would have saved some bit of ribbon from the wreck to adorn her prelty person; not that she was vainer than otber girls, but she was one of those who know how to make the most of themselves and everybody besides.

But Jules was not to be propitiated; and the next mail brought back both cap and letter, the last with unbroken seal.

Its tail is extended straight behind its body; suddenly it is bent to one side; this of course turns the head towards the same sido and perhaps carries the fish a little backward; but now comes a more forcible backward stroke of the tail, which turns the head tbe other way and propels the fish forward. Then having reached the middle line, it is gently bent to the other side, and again forcibly extended. Tbe result of these alternate movements of the tail in opposite directions is, as in the sculling of a boat, to propel the fish forward, not in a straight but zigzag direction. But the successive movement* are so rapid that we notice only the resultant notion, which is in some species, as the salmon, at the rate of twenty or twenty-five miles an hour, and so powerful that the sworJ. fish has been known to thrust bis sword through the copper sheathing, a layer of felt, four Inches of deal, and fourteen inches of oak. clergy eost the United States $12,00,000 per annum the criminals J40,ooo,000; the lawyers, $7n,QOO.- 000, and rum $200 uoo,uou.

And when Simon came back there was a duet in which Dolly bore her part very lamely, and submitted to corrections from Simon with a pout, and declared she would never sing another note with him, but did not keep her word.

ALSO AGENT FOR There are Jour different reason■ : First, the forward stroke ii much lets forcible and rapid than ihe backward. Second, the water is already moving; for the previous backward stroke of the tail from the other side to the middle line has forced the water in all directions out of its way, so that the further stroke forward meets with comparatively little resistance; but the backward stroke meets all the more, and is therefore the more effective in sending the fish forward. This, and the fourth reason depend upon the form of the tail, or upon ♦he will of the fish. JADWIN'S SUBDUING LINIMENT "Will you tell me abcut it?" SCRANTON AD'S. "Why, you see, some one asked me to go somewhere," and here Dolly dropped her eyes and turned rose-color; "Jules said if I went he should take it that I didn't care for him; of course I cared just the same, you know; but he said so; and then I consulted Isabella,and she advised me to stand up for my rights and go.

He was the business partner of Mr. Ferrars and the nephew of Mrs. Ferrars. The firm was "Trillion Ct Ferrars;" and it was said that the capital was Trillion capital, for Mr. Ferrars was a slow man, who, like the snail, never climbed up the commercial wall tw» feet but he fell back two and a half, ao to speak. Thus, though his name was on the door-plate of the house, Simon held the deed ; though the neighbors envied the upholstery of Mrs. Ferrars Trillion money had paid for every inch of it; Trillion taste had devised and designed it. But Dorothea knew and cared nothing tor this. Simon had been her friend ever aince she could remember—since her earliest visit at her aunt's; he had scolded her and taken her part alternately; be had been her cat'spaw in innumerable small love affairs; he had allowed himself to be snubbed or to be made much of, at her pleasure, appearing equally satisfied with either treatment at her hands. Sometimes he had been to see her at her own home; there he had met Jules, who laoghed at his big hands and unfashionoble attire—for Simon neter paid deference to the goddess—and then grew jealous of his friendly familiarity. Perhaps Jules was clearer sighted than the rest, and knew his danger. But it had never occurred to Dolly that Simon was a person to coquet with, and when she had told Jules that he was coming to Wire her out to Aunt Ferrar'a Christmas tree, Julea had answered, with some anger, "If you go with that fellow, Dolly, you may count one lover leas.

But the tail of an ordinary fish is not only much wider, but flexible in every direction, and capable of being spread out or narrowed by the action of little muscles attached to the bony rays which support it. Now such a tail may be feathered, and probably is, when the fish is moving slowly; bat for more rapid movements it is probable that the whole tail ii spread out and hollowed backward for the backward stroke; but that upon reaching the middle line it is narrowed and made convex for the forward stroke, so as to offer the least resistance to the water.
