DEAR BELLE: I went to church, last night, And saw your friend. Why, he‘s a-fright! At least I think so. What is there, pray, About his looks that made yon'sny That I‘d admire him? Goodness me! He‘s homely, Belle, as he can be, Monstrous mouth, retreating forehead. And goggle eyes I think he‘s horrid. * * I‘ve seen that Mr. Knox again—— Your friend, I mm that homely man Of whom I wrote—and I declare I must admit he has an air About him that one must admire. But, Belle, I think I soon shall tire Of bu rude manners. Why. the man Stared till I had to usemyfan! _ ‘ * I went last night to the soiree, And who, think you. chanced there to be! Why, Charley Knox! We staid tilLfour. I danced with him six tunes, or more, And he asked me-don‘t you tell—— To go with him next dine. Now, Belle, I‘m not in love. You'll laugh, I know, But still I say he‘s not my beau. * * 0h, Belle! Oh, Belle! what do you think Happened? I can‘t sleep a wink . Until I‘ve told my dearest friend— Oh, Belle, my maidenhood is at an end. That Charley Knox! Oh, dear, Oh, my! I don‘t know whether to laugh or cry—— I never yet did feel so queer— ‘ Just think!

About once a fortnightMr..Bowser comes home at noon and finds me, 'on the sofa with my head tied up and my temples throbbing as if theywouldhnrst. It’s just the next thing to being pounded on the head by a war club, and if the house was on fire Ishould take mytime about get- ting out, and that without trying to save anything except the camflior bottle. The programme then runs astollows: Enter Mr. Bowser. Hangs up his hatandovercoat. ' Marches into back parlor,evidently sus- pecting some calamity. Stands and gazes at mass if. I were some curiosity.

He comesdragging his 1 down and eyes half closed, and I'meet himatthedoor, and inquire: “Mr. Bowser, have you beeni'run over on the street?” “W—worse’n that!” he gasps, as he sits down on a stair step and holds his head in . his hands. “Have you been shot at or stabbed by a ru ifian ?” . “Would that I had!” “Mr. Bowser, what awful, awml thing has happened?

Why, what should a great big man like you careabout a head- ache? Come to dinner." But he staggers into the sitting room and falls sideways on the lounge and ut- ters a groan which arches tbecat’s back up to an angle. “Mr. BQWSOI', thes» headaches are all iui; aginary,” I observe as I'take him by the legs and swing him abom; so that he rests on his back.

Rice in Nature’s Realm. Cahfinres in New York. A friend of mine relates an amusing ex- perience healiad some nights ago with a cabinan. He arrived from Brooklyn by the Grand street ferry at about 2 o’clock a. m., in the midst of a heavy rain that showed no signs of abatement. The air outside was cold, the ferry house was hot and study, there was no street car in sight, and it was a. considerable distance to the nearest ele— vated railroad station.» A solitary cab stood near the ferry house, on which sat a disconsolate looking cabman, wrapped in a big waterproof overcoat. He looked at the half dozen passengers with a disgusted ex- pression, and did not take. the trouble to invite anybody to “Take a cab, sir.” My friend at first supposed he was waiting for some one by appointment, but, learning the contrary. asked: “\Vhat wiI you charge to take me up to Broadway and Twenty-third street?" “Three dollars and a half," responded cabby. . “Knock ed the $3 and I will go with you,” said my friend. “Get in,” briefly answered the cabman. My friend says he heard the driver laugh at intervals all the way up town. He evi- dently-appreciated ‘,‘ _ " When my friend handed him a dollar bill at the end of the course heactually handed back half a dollar, but was allowed to keep the change, and hisfarewondered whether “cabby” . didn‘t stable in Twenty-fourth .street and had not made a half dollar by driving home—New York Star.

S. mail carri- er. Yet thatis just what it did at 8 o’clock Tuesday evening, Just asBennett had carried his last mail sack from his gorgeous vehicle to the South. Norwalk: depot platform. Bennett instantly de-' tected the old. nag’s vicious purpose and made a lightning leap to seize the rein nearest him. He succeeded and “builded greater than he knew,” for with one of those superhuman jerks a .man will give in great emergencies he: pulled the beast half way around and- shoved the variegated vehicle full upon himself. Bennett went ignominiously down and the wagon wen! up over him, and the horse went on a dead run for home, where the poor beast no doubt got the idea into its crazy head that some succulent hay tea awaited him. there. But alas, “the best laid schemes o’mice and men” and horses, “gang aft track at the turn into Main street it planted its worn out feet too insecurely on the iron rail and fell “ker-flop,”and sprawled about as ingloriously as Rosinante on being struck with the windmill. Bennett at full speed dashed up behind the fallen foe yelling “who-a- who-a-a” as lustily as the war whoop Of a Comanche savage. But old dob- bin was up and off again, just as Ben- arched ridge pole, and was not captured until he neared Dr. Pardee’s. Bennett now makes solemn affidavit that his old black horse shall run his trips inside of fan hour if it killshim. WILTON. word that Monday :morning a *horse and business wagon was found, astray in Hurlbutt street, in front of Charles Holmes’ place. The horse was a thin, light sorrel and had on part of an old harness, the balance being attached to the wagon, which had become wedged between the hitching post and fence, the horse having pulled himself clear of it. In the wagon wasa medicine case with the name of “Dr. Todd” on it, engraved on a plate, and a hand satchel filled with physician’s implements. _ A bag in the wagon had the initials f‘H. "M., Ridgefield,’.’f on it. Bedient telegraphed the find to Branch- ville, but as yet no claimant has ap- peared. The property is supposed to belong to Dr. Todd of Ridgefield. Rev. Mr. Graham. In the Churchman of April 25th,there appears this notice of Bishop Potter’s visit to St. Ambrose's church,where he confirmed a large class presented by .Rev. Mr. Graham the missionary in charge and who is the present Rector of our St. Paul’ . The report further says: “Mr. Graham, much to the regret of his asmates in the work of the city, has beenculled to a parish in the dio- cese of Connecticut. In his departure the church in New York will lose one of its most valued and efiicientclergy.” A sensible clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Dixon, j‘r., of the Twenty-third Street Baptist church, New York, said in a sermon a short time ago that “the Sunday newspaper is no rival of the pulpit.” The preacher, he declared, “who cannot hold his own against cold type 18 not called to preach, and the sooner he quits tr ‘ing the better for him and the cause e represents. ” And he added: “To be quite candid, I would rather myself read a live newspaper then listen to a dead man try to preach. 2’ It is not the thoroughly alive preacher-s who have occaSion to ccmplcm of camp. ty pews. r." _ ,5 411-0 DY. um E ufik‘KE-fllnoTH E]? m minim u manta use. .
