Struggles, with q most vigorous effort from
woman who was in piecemeal, So to
speak.
"one word" said Phipps "Permit me
to explain"
Help help! help" shrieked Aurelia,
throwing her shawl around her, replacing
her teeth, and running to open the door to
clamorous crowd without. ,
In rushed landlady, landlord, boarders
male and female, chambermaids, cooks,
Mrs. Phipps, Bob Phipps, and all the little
Phipps.
The landlady flew at Phipps with dust
brush the chambermaid tackled him with
a broom; the cook endangered him with a
poker; the landlord soused q bucket of
water on him; one of the male boarders
snapped six caps at him with a revolver (;
the women all screamed, Miss Straggles,
dog grabbed him by the leg and bit chop
out of bis calf; while one of the boarders
called in two policemen, and all before
Mrs. Phipps had chance to explain that
it was nobody but poor old Phipps him
SELF after ALL,
The male boarders laughed.
The female boarders giggled.
The cook snickered
The chambermaids smiled
The landlord got mad and said it was
outrageous.
The landlady said she "wasn't agoin' to
have sich carryins on in her house"
Bob Phipps put his thumb to his nose
and wiggled his fingers All the little
Phipps did likewise, and the baby tried its
level best to initiate them.
Miss Struggles revived and gave notice
that she would look for another boarding
house next day.
Old Phipps looked cut up and sad but
he promised to staud champagne for the
whole house at dinner next day, and then
turning savagely to his wife, he said:
why don't you put those children to
bed, Mrs Phipps? We've had enough of
this tomfoolery"
"I think we have" said Mrs. Phipps,
filing off with the Phipps brigade, of
which Bob formed the rear, grinning like
demon.
Bob is still incredulous about Kriss
Kingle, and Phipps says he don't care a
cent; it's the tendency of the age, and
there's no use of his fighting against it.

AN important decision was recently rem
dered by Judge McKenna, one of the Cir
cult Judges of the United States Supreme
Court, in which the New Jersey Mutual
Life Insurance Company were defendants.
The company had refused to pay a policy
of $40 900 upon the life of man who had
committed suicide, the policy being held
by the assignee. The decision was adverse
to the company. Nearly all the evidence
adduced was on the point of insanity, il
being attempted to prove that the insured
party was not in his right mind, and thai
his death was the result Of insanity, The
court decided that the man was insane
that the insanity was disease, and tha
his death being directly the result of sucl
disease, the holder of the policy was a
much entitled to recover the amount o
the policy as if the death had occurre'
from any other kind Of disease

MODERATION.

BE moderate In all things,
Excessive in none,
In great things and small things
The king on his throne,
The so ldier, the peasant,
May learn, in word,
To moderate the scepter,
The spade, and the sword.
Be moderate in eating,
Nor cit at the board
Like miser bent over
His long gathered hoard,
BE moderate in drinking,
Nor drain deep the bowl,
Fer Deaths at the bottom,
In wait for your soul.
Be moderate In thinking;
The bow too long bent
Has never the shaft
To the mark With force sent.
BE moderate in friendship,
To all but few,
Aud those to yOur bosom
Clasp, trueting and true;
II Poverty stands at
The door, you may test
BY the touch of his cold hand
Your bravest and best.
Be moderate in love
While you are ardent and young;
But If your hearts flame
Finds vent through the tongue,
Let 1t be, like an unsheathed
Patriots sword,
Ever ready to act
In accord with your word.
Be moderate in censure,
Nor deem it unwise
To shut ON the faults
OF another your eyes;
For II through a glass
His shortcomings you view,
lie may look upon yours
With a microscope, too.
Ee moderate In getting,
For over-much wealth
1nsures not contentment,
Nor pleasure, nor health;
But, blest with sufficient,
Give some to the poor
Enough If you just
Keep the wolf from the door.
