A You've MAN WHO WAS FOND OF
BEING BRUSHED. "A Saratoga cores
pendent speaks of a young man at one
of the hotels there who never felt so
much like an aTistOcrat as when being
brushed. He had obtained twenty-five
dollars worth of new quarters at the
sub treasury, and every time he was
brushed he handed one of these forth
from his waistcoat pocket. He was
brushed everywhere. The walters
watched for him, lay In wait for him.
quarreled with each other for posses
sion of him. They never brushed him
anywhere but in the small of his back
and on the knee OF his pantaloons. The
result was that, in three days, those
portions of his attire were threadbare.
Nearly all his stamps were gone. He
gave notice at the office of his depaT-
ture Tor home. He had just money
enough left to pay expenses, and he
was brushed to the Iast-brushed into
the stage. The walters found that. in
the aggregate, they had received S21. %
for brushing that unfortunate young
man.

Hoy a nan COt into the Wrong Bea.

A st. Louis paper tells a good story
of how prominent man of that city
got into the wrong bed, and how there
came near being domestic difficulty
in consequence. Said man had been
out to q banquet and become rather
muddled with the plethora of good
cheer. At late hour of the night, as
sisted by couple of friends, he went
home, and not desiring TO have his
wife discover his plight, he undertook
TO get to his room without waking her
Opening the hall door with as much
care as his inebriated condition would
permit, and pulling off his boots, he
began the ascent to his room, with
what result we will let the ST. Louis
reporter tell:
1t seemed to him as though he
weighed o ton, for each and every
stair seemed to grOan and squeak with
pain, and in an agony of desperation
he chung 60 the banisters. Arriving at
the top, he CROPPED around in the dark
ness until his hand came in contact
with the knob of the door, and mag
lining that it led 10 the couch where re-
posed his partner in dreams of inno-
cence, he turned il softly and entered.
He would not light the gas, but dis
ROBBED in the dark, and eff came his
coat, vest and pants, and last his boots.
He thought he could not be mistaken
in the room, for he detected articles of
dress such rs could be worn by none
but feminine.
He tangled himself in set of hoops,
stubbed his toe against some French
corsets, and mentally swearing at Mrs.
u. for leaving her things where he
could stumble over them, shuffled mp
TO the bedside, aud, turning down the
clothes, was IN the act of placing his
leg beneath when a piercing scream
broke out on the midnight air and
white-robed figure jumped like light
ming from the bed, and going TO the
window, shouted, "Help; help; save
me; it's manp The whole household
was soon in an uproar. A policeman
three blocks distant, hearing the hub
bub, started for the scene, shaking his
rattle furlously as he ran; but Mrs. H.,
who slept in the room adjoining, was
the first to rush to the rescue. We
shall not attempt to describe the sight
that met her eyes on opening the door.
There in a corner, screaming with might
and main, was the young lady guest
that she had invited to spend the eve
ming with her, and there by the bed
side stood Mr.. H., pUris ndtsrdlibus,
looking as though he had been fooled
by Balaam's ass, and was about to be
turned ont of green pastures. Mrs. u.
gave one long, agonizing look, and
muttered out ooh you naughty,
naughty mani and then tumbled back
wards in dead faint, while the unfeel-
ing wretch alluded to sat down in
chair, passed his hand over his brow
once or twice, and exclaimed, "Well,
I'll be cursed !"
He had strayed into the wrong room.
We are happy to state that the matter
is now settled, IN consideration of his
promising to never stay ont another
evening later than 10 o'clock.

AReYoIiIne SOL.

FROM the GlCNeidnO t1eEdiu.
We have gathered few facts in the
history of two young girls now in the
work-hOuse, serving ont three months
sentence, imposed upon them at the
police court, for being common prosti-
tutes, which shows TO how low, de-
graded condition the love of money
will drag humanity. These sisters
grew up to the ages o. twelve and fiji
teen under the worst possible influences
at home, taught every evil practice
known to humanity by their unnatural
mother, and during the last year, until
within a few months, she has driven
them forth at night into tue streets to
a life of shame, and when they came
home without money she would beat
them until exhausted. Many times
they have laiu in the streets TO avoid
the beatings, not daring to go home
without money. A few months ago
she forced them, with her own hands,
into a house of Ill. fame, and there
compelled them to remain, even doing
their washing and cooking, that they
might save more money, which she
took from them each day. We can not
imagine anything mere horrible than
this. The girls are quite pretty and
rather intelligent, aud but for their
mother would have grown mp an Orna-
ment TO society; but they are now the
lowest and most degraded of their
class.
