TIE METROPOLITAN FAIR.
How the Men are Taken Im aud
Done For.

l believe in fairs, particularly in sani-
tary fairs; but my sympathies are large,
and much as love my country, my heart
bleeds for every creature of the male per-
suasion who finds himself drawn into the
vortex peculiar to these institutions. Moth
ing but rusty suit of clothes and shock
ing bad hat will save him from temptation.
IT'S the voice of the siren, hear her again!
and in stunning Sylla. the unfortunate
victim is generally wrecked upon Charyb-
dis. I would not have it understood, how
ever, that the sirens of the metropolitan
fair are unusually delusive; on the con-
trary, they curb their powers of sednc-
tion in a highly creditable manner tor the
most part, but the ''platform" of every
fair has been from the beginning
Moneys our object, the men our game!
And there are traps laid even in this
well. conducted enterprise. "Now do pur-
chase this exquisite basket of wax flowers"
said pertinacious vendor to an amiable
young man. at is lovely, is it motif" he
replied. "Lovelyp why, it is bargain !;
only fifteen dollars" Yes, it is lovely"
be rejoined. growing somewhat uneasy,
''but it is not exactly barr "What,"
retorted the injured female, "not q bar
gain 2 You are greatly mistaken, MY
dear sir; now just let me d0-M up for,
YOU" At this stage of the dialogue the
amiable young man began to grow red in
tie face and dove bis hand into his pocket,
apparently searching for fifteen dollars.
The lady felt her triumph and wreathed
her face in smiles. "Indeed, SIR" she
continued, "there is no prettier present in
the world than wax flowers" eyes" fall
tered the victim, drawing his hand out of
bis pocket in an empty sort of way. "Then
the things settled" she said. "No, not
quite, he suffered, growing red. "Why,
my dear sir, do you mean to say ?" "Ex-
actly-that is, yes!" stammered forth
the amiable young man, and away he
dashed, CONSERVATION and perspiration
streaming from his beet-hued face "Well,
/ never!" calculated the repulsed siren,
as she quietly subsidized, ready to pounce
upon the next promising subject. "There
is Tom Jones!" exclaimed pretty girl in
our hearing. "Open your batteries, girls.
Let's see how much we can get out of
him. All, my dear Mr.. Jones, how are
you? How glad We are to see you, and
how cruel of you never to have come
near us before!" And Tom Jones gazes
at the pouting lips and pretty girls and
thinks he has been cruel. He says of
himself, "What charming maiuete ="
They say to themselves, "What goose !"
and when we left that table Tom Jones
was being artistically entrapped as ever
fly was by the most adroit spiders. "All
is fair in war " the classic motto teaches,
and women are apt pupils.

A painful silence followed Miss Lawt0n's
testimony. At length Deacon johnson put the
question:
Did he close the door before he came into
the sitting room?"
The answer was:
II think he did"

been heard in any part of the large and beauti-
full sanctuary.
Then Mr.. Haven rose up and said:
