FORGOT HIS NAME.

A conceited fellow by the name of
Head. in making New Years calls in q
certain city, made the acquaintance of n
young lady upon whom he fattered
himself he had effected a very decided
impression. He felt that he was ire
sistible to the sex, anyhow, but in
this particular instance he was confident
that he had accomplished a complete
conquest. Not to be too cruel to the
damsel whom he managed to be Ian
gushing over his absence, he called
upon her again after the New Year was
week or so old. That he might feast
upon tho surprise and joy she would
evince on discovering who her caller
was, he RETAINED from giving his name
to the servant who answered his ring,
but instructed her to tell Miss that
very particlar friend desired an inter-
view. He was ushered into the parlor !;
and after brief delay the young lady
whom he supposed to be rapidly APP
preaching dissolution on his account,
entered.
She paused on the threshold and
looked embarrassed He expected that,
but contrary to his expectations, no
blush of emotion or CLEAN of recogni-
ton, even, lighted her countenance.
"Don't you remember me ?" said he,
putting on the smile which he had i'm
agined had melted her young and sus-
ceptible heart upon their first meeting.
You know 1 called here last New
Years with party in four horse

so, yes, said the young lady who
didn't appear in the least crushed by
the recollection I remember Your
face did not look familiar, but your
name
"Don't you remember my name %
inquired the heart-pulverizer with an
air of deep chagrin.
81 have almost got it,, said the lady,
with puzzled smile. "It isn't
Brown ?"
"No, indeed. But really, madam,
this not fattering to me, your forget.
ting my name. L imagined that I had
made a decided impression.
$50 you did, SO you did, the lady
fastened to say. Strange that yonr
name should have escaped me, though.
l was thinking of it just before you
rang. Don't tell me what it is. 1 shall
think of it in minute. Really this is
notifying what has become of my
memory 2" and she trotted her pretty
little foot impatiently on the carpet.
But let me giveyou hint, said Mr..
Head, whose modification was rapidly
increasing.
"Well, just little hint. I should
think Of your name in minute any
how just the least hint in the world viii
do"
Now, what do | carry on my
shoulders ~ quered Head.
A moments puzzled reflection, then
her face Frightening up, she advances
toward him with outstretched hand,
and cordially exclaims

A TRAVELLERS STORY.

Now, uncle, you said you would
tell us tonight some more about your
travels in Eastern Countries.
$50 [ did, Charles +; and as you and
your sister Mary seem quite ready to
listen to me, may as we'll begin at
once, But as the story is of no great
value unless it teaches lesson worth
learning, I will, while seek to please
you, Try also to do you good.
f'In our British lands we do not
know much about lofty walls around
our cities. We go to sleep at night
without any fear of being aroused by
the alarm that an enemy is at our
doors. Let us be thankful for our safe
and quiet homes. Ea some Eastern
cities it is quite otherwise. High and
strong walls enclose the houses for de-.
fence, and those who work in the fields
OF labor outside at trades, or are on a
journey, have to pass in and out
through the gates of the wall
SIT is usual to shut the gates at night
and to open them at daylight. A gun
is mostly fred as signal when the
gates are closed and opened Should
there be any person beyond the walls
at the evening signal, they are shut
out for the night, and must find a
place of rest where they can.
Gone day, when going through
Egg pit, [ was in a small boat, sailing
slowly down the far-famed river Nile.
Sometimes I landed to look at the ru-
ined temples on the side of the river,
or to pluck the gay flowers that grew
on the high banks. I was well aware
that had to get to the city that eve
ming, for I was to sail to another coun-
try early in the morning. Il am all in
good time L said to myself, as 1
plucked the flowers, OF stood looking
around me. Now one trife, and then
another, caused delay ; and when the
boat did move, it was allowed to drift
slowly along
"Soon the golden CLEAN of the sun
was seen on the broad waters, warming
me that it would soon set. st IL
thought only of my pleasure, or that
I could soon make up for the lost time
At last the sky began to darken, and L
sprang up in the boat as if it had only
just entered my mind that l might
after all be too late. The hour for
shutting the city gates was not far off.
The rowers pulled away at the oars,
and as we got near the city. l jumped
quickly ashore. | had to get my
passports that night, that I might be
ready to start by the ship in the morn
ing. In some countries, Charles, no
person is allowed to go away without a
passport that is, permission to
leave.
II ran toward the gate, but, when
within short distance of it, / saw a
flash, and then in an instant after, the
report Of a gun was heard on the even
ing breeze. The hour had come was
few minutes too late. The gate was
shut. / cast away the flowers had
gathered on my journey. They could
not repay me for my delay and loss. -
The ship sailed early next day without
me, and l was left behind to blanc my
self for my folly.

in doubt what style of music would suit
them best. Accordingly, by way of ex-
pertinent, Mrs. Brinkerhoff tried brilliant
Spanish Bolero, at which the Celestial

been used to it all his life; but when she
sang in touching manner the simple mel

A London paper tells little incident
which forcibly illustrates the vast change
which has taken place in The minds ofmcn
in the past century with reference to rcli-
gious freedom. In the year l717. the
town authorities of High Wycombe, in
England, drummed John Wesley out Of
town as pestilcnt disturber of the re-
ligious.peace of that very church-loving
community. The Mayor himself seems
to have headed the procession. Well, the
other day, the Wesleyan Methodists of
High Wycombe he'd grand bazaar, or
fair, and the great curiosity of the occasion
was the VERY DRUM used by the Mayor
10 drum cut Mr.. Wesley. Perhaps some
good Meihodists actually required the evil
dcnce of the relic to enjoy full belief in
Wesley's own occount of this incident in
lis career.

The Hon. Richard O'Gorman made q
speech at Seymour meeting in n. Y. city
in which he said
1.-THE great question TO be considered in
the present crisis is that of the taxes-how
could they be lightened? How all, from
their labor could secure greater comforts.
The Radicals would confne the public
attention 10 dead issues, to the war which
was over, and would dig open the graves
of the dead. All those things, however,
have nothing 10 do with the questions now
before the people. The effect of the heavy
taxes was to take from the pocket of the
poor man and at the same time put money
in the pocket of the rich man. Labor in
these days does not bring as much money
as it did years ago."
We beg leave to assure Mr.. OGorman
that he is slightly mistaken. We entirely
agree with him that ''the question of taxes
is the very one that We ought to make
prominent. That is not ''dead issue. -
We mean 10 have il emphasized and ven>
tilated. Here are some points 10 which
we would call his attention:
1. BY what right, under what law, do
our present supervisors and aldermen pay
John T. Hoffman $I7,5OO per annum from
the taxes of our city?
2. Would not the taxes be frightened if
that sum were reduced TO $4,000?
3. If he sho'd happen to be elected Cow
ernor and 60 to Albany as such, dc you
believe he would be satisfied with his law
ful salary of s 1000 per annum?
4. Have You, Mr.. O'Gcrmap, been sat>
isfied with the legal salary of your Office?
or With four times that amount? And if
you had been, would not the taxes have
been materially frightened?
5. Do you not positively KNOW that the
tax levics fought through our Legislature
by Tweed & Co. are at least five millions
higher than they need or should have
been? Do you not know that part or the
excess is employed to enrich themselves,
while the residue is used to swell the
Democratic vote and try TO carry our State
for Seymour and Hoffman?
6. We entirely agree with Mr. O'Gorman
that ''ihe effect of heavy taxes is 10 take
money from the pocket of the poor man"
and to cni'ich oflice>holders herewith
O'Gorman, Hoffman, Sweeney. and Tweed
forcibly illustrate this truth. But we can
not so readily admit that Labor does not
bring so much money as it did years ago"
On the contrary, we are sure that no for
mer corporation counsel ever pouched so
much money for his labor as Mr.. O'Gor>
man has done; and the same is true Of the
others.
