'Oh, Sir, let me 60, didn't mean any
harm," she said.
Didn't mean any harm 2" echoed Mr..
Jones angrily ''why, here are your
shoes in tho hall What have you been
stealing down stairs!'
The girl protested that she had stolen
nothing, begged that he would not have
her arrested, and promised never to mol
est him again.
Mr.. Jones detained her till she was
thoroughly frightened, then pretended
to rclent and bade her so quickly or
she would meet the officer!
The girl lost no time in making her
exit, and Mr.. Jones finished his letter
just in season for the mail
On his way homo in tho Fourth Ave-
nue cars, ho mentioned his venture to
his friend Mr.. Smith, whose place of
business is in tho same street.
Good heavens exclaimed Smith,
''why was victimized exactly in tho
same way this afternoon, and didn't get
off as easily as you did. had to give
ten dollars, and did not even get Mo
ther Goose' in return
| Upon comparing notes the friends as
certained that they had been visited by
| different persons, proving that the ''Mo-
ther Goose dodge is not the enterprise
of asingle individual. Each congrat-
ulated the other upon having learned an
entirely new kink.
When Broad street gentlemen stay

Rights Of Married Men-Tho mar
riod men of Jancsvilie, Wis, whose
wives have gone East or are absent
from tho city, held meeting on Friday,

ing to order, and II regular organization
was then effected, which being done, all
present united in singing Come, ye
disconsolnto.' Burns 'Cotter's Saturday
Night was then road, after which sovo-
raj resolutions were adopted, denounc-
ing tho long absence of married women
on visits to relatives and friends, az

band were greater than those to her
Eastern Cousin and relatives by the
wifo's side and suggesting tho for
nation of u permanent organization
for mutual aid and protection, and for

A baby was then brought before the
assembly, and received with deep emo
ton. The proceedings ended with the
singing Of Days of Abscnce.'

THE WIND AND THE SEA.

The sea is jovial comrade,
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimpling
lines
That wrinkles his hale repose.
He lays down at the feet of the sun,
And shakes all over with glee,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint
Oh the shore
In the 1nirth of the mighty Sea.
But the wind is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain;
You may hark as you will, by valley
or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls ou the barren mountains,
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
He sobs in the cedar, and moans in the
pine,
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices,
And [ know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the Oceans s
lips,
Or the comfortless Winds unrest.
There's pang in all rejoicing,
A Joy in the heart of pain,
And the Wind that saddens, the Sea
that gladdens,
Are singing the self-same strain.

ABsEN NCE.-BY SUSAN H. BLA1sDELL.
Tread lightly DER the threshold, for a
hush
Deep and unbroken rests upon the air,
And DER the hearts, broods, with its
shadowy wing,
A silent sense of grief. There seems
A touch of sadnessseven in the light
That streams through yonder easement;
and the bird
In his gay cage, once wreathed with
flowers, that now
Withered and pale droop round the
rusting wires,
Ceases his song, as listening for step
That comes no more.
There was voice of old
That woke peal of music through
these shades
A glance Of eyes that mocked the mid
night stars
A sound of laughter that rung out
awhile,
And then sunk down to silence.
Such hath been
And it hath vanished, while the heart
retains
Only love-frought vision of the form
That passed, like some bright sunbeam,
from the place
Its presence erst had gladdened-as a
cloud
In the far-west heaven, at daylight's
close, &,
Glowing with all the soft, yet brilliant
dyes
Of the rich sunlight-e'en as it fades,
In slowly floating images, away;
Leaving, where beauty reigned, form
less space
So has the presence faded, that made
bright
The darker scenes Of earth. Love
silently
Pleadeth for loves return, and silence
gives
The only answer.

This body recently assembled in Troy New
York, and after having appointed delegates
to the Baltimore Convention, passed reso-
luton not to be bound by the action OF said
Con INVENTION but to hold themselves free to
vote for who ever they pleased
They also gave very strong indications OF
their preference for Mr.. Bates as the Opp osi-
tion candidate for the Presidency.
Between Judge Bates and Judge Mclean
who now seems to loom mp with considerable
splendor, we have little CT no choice, both
being excellent men. We think however
that Judge Bates would be the more available
candidate, coming as ho does from slave
State, and SHOULD therefore give him our most
hearty support: butifthe Conventions OF Bal
timore and Chicago can agree upon Judge
Mclean for President, and then give us Hen

nomination would be almost equivalent to

Some of the scientific journals have
been discussing at various periods the
question whether the coal fields will hold
out, considering the enormous quantity
consumed. Professor Rogers, after
showing the areas and solid contents oil
the various known coal fields, estimates
that at the present rate of consumption
100, 900, 600 of tons per annnm, the
coal fields of Pennsylvania alone would
meet the demand for 3,164 years. II
the consumption were doubled. viz: 300
900, 900 of tons, the great Apalaehia
fields would meet the strain for 1897!
