i" Aw, l Beg PawdOn."
THOMAS STEPHENS.

Don Piatt says the latest story that is
going the rounds in Washington is told of
one of the second joints, as the secretaries
were called to distinguish them from the
high joints. This was an elegant youth,
rather slender and tall, whose talk began
and ended in one short sentence, which
said, cav, beg pawdon," which, drawled
out, has very pleasing result, and is being
generally initiated by our free-born youths
of America about Washington.
1t seems that this sprig of English
nobility was invited to pass some days at
the country house of a wealthy American,
and late at night, before retiring, concluded
to take "a bath, you KNOW" and so direct
ed by servant he found his way to the
bathroom, and turning on the warm water
was soon enjoying at full length the deli
cious sense of an entire relaxation of his
aristocratic person and reposo of his aristo
cratic intellect.
Unfortunately the daughter of the house
also concluded to take dip in the tub;
and not knowing what their illustrious
guest had done to himself, undressed in
her room, ran hurriedly along tho hall for
fear of meeting some one, and darting into
the bathroom closed and locked the door.
What was her CONSERVATION to see head
raise languidly from the tub, and a voice
exclaim:
cav, l beg pawdon."
She screamed scream-l indulge in no
exaggeration when I say that girl screamed
a scream of the first magnitude; and then
she screamed another scream as, in her con-
fusion, she turned the key in the wrong
direction, and so did not open the door,
Between each scream the languid voice
exclaimed:
"Aw, beg pawdon."
After sixteen screams, any one of which
would have rivalled locomotive, she sue
ceeded in opening the door, and fell faint
ing in the arms of her frightened papa
So soon as pater tamilias could relieve him
self of his nude daughter, he stuck his
paternal head into tho bathroom, and
wanted to know what in HI was the mat
ter. All he could get in reply was:
cav, | beg pawdon."

S0mebOdy'll Come Tonight.

l must bind my hair with the magic bough
And gem it with buds of white,
And drive this blush from my burning
brow,
For somebody'll call tonight;
And while his eyes shall discern a grace
In the braid and folded bower,
He must not find in my tell-tale face
The spell of his wondrous power.
l must don the robe which he fondly calls
A flood Of enchanting light,
And sit where the mellow moonlight falls,
For somebody'll come tonight;
And while the robes and place shall seem
But the very freak of chance,
IT'S sweet to know that his eyes shall beam
With tender, happier glance.
Twas thus sang when years were few
That lay on my girlsh head,
And all the flowers that fancy grew
Were tied with golden thread;
And somebody came, and the whispers
I cannot repeat them quite
But know that my soul went up in prayer,
And somebody's here tonight.
I blush no more at the whispered VOW,
Nor sigh in the soft moonligt;
My robe has tint of amber now
As sit by my anthracite,
And the locks that We'd with the glossy
wren
Have passed to the silver gray,
But the love that decked them with flowers
then
Is holier love to-day.

What it was About.

Well now that puts me in mind Of two
old fellows down in Kentucky that had
been the best friends in the world for over
thirty years-never had a cross word, and
would do anything for each other. They
got into top buggy wagon and started
down to Lexington on business. You see
they lived about twelve miles out of Lexing-
ton. One was named Burr, and the other
Clark. Abont six miles from Lexington
they passed tract of land belonging to
man named Baker. 1t had brook run
ming through gnlly on it.
"Tom," says Burr, coming to the gully,
eff Baker wanted to build pond all he
would have to do wonld DO to throw wall
across that gully"
eyes" says Clark, "but Tom don't
want pond.''
"Well," replied Burr, raising himself up,
81 didn't say he wanted ponb, did II I
said if he wanted pond all he would have
to do would be to throw wall across that
gully"
"Well," exclaimed Clark, firing up in
his turn: 81 didn't say that you did say he
wanted pond, did II All that said was
that Baker didn't want any bond.''
"Well," shouted Burr, in angry tone, 81
didn't say that you did say that said he
wanted Pond, did 9'' 1 said tiff he
wanted a pond, all he would have to do
would be to throw wall across that gully.
"Well," said Clark, now thoroughly
enraged, 'you are id old fool, and I
won't ride with you any further! Stop
the wagon"
$50 Bur stopped the wagon" said the
Blue Grass man, and Clark walked all the
way to Lexington, six miles, before he
would ride with him. That was seven
years ago, and the cussed old fools have
never spoken to one another since.

NEvER.-Never throw stone at any ono
until you have looked to see whether there
is window behind, or you may have to
pay rather dearly for you revenge. Never
leave your hat in the passage, unless it
is a bad one. Never be executor to a
will, as it is all liability, great trouble, and
no profit. Never quarrel with your wife,
as you will only have to make it up and
pay for reconciliation. Never mention
that you have received legacy, or some
inpertinent fellow will be asking you to
stand a dinner. Never pay to see balloon
60 up, as you can SEQ it much better by
remaining outside.

A True Love Song.
BY NJ. Il. WHITTLESEY.

.---
o eyes, whose light withdrawn,
Left Winter in my heart !
Still, still the years go on,
And youth and hope depart.
o eyes, that drew my soul,
And drank its sweetness up.
Still do l hold for dole,
My shrunken, empty cup;
A beggar for one draught
OF that which filled it once,
For l was young, and laughed
With loves pure gladness once.
o eyes, that were my stars
Shut from your friendly light,
Blight fell on life's best powers;
This was, indeed, the night.
l said "Lost, lost for aye!
Henceforth our paths divide
Love can do naught but die,
When truth and trust have died. "
In sooth, l did not know
Life's browning sweetness then
That love doth stronger grow,
Through loss and lifelong pain.
Oh never lost to us
Are those once loved indeed;
For diviner trust
Their very errors plead:
A faith that, soon or late
The better soul we knew
Will break the chains of fate,
And climb from false to true.
0 eyes, that shine afar,
Yet still to me so dear!
l wait, as for star
That will again appear.

What it Is to be q Widow.

81 think it must be jolly thing to be a
young widowr' l heard this remark, the
other day, in group of laughing girls.
think remember saying such a thing
myself in the careless girlish times.
Do you know, girls, what it is to be a
widow? 1t is to be ten times more open
to comment and criticism than any denaoi-
selle could possibly be. 1t is to have men
gaze as you pass, first at your black dress,
and then at your widows cap, until sensi-
tive nerves culver under the infliction.
1t is to have one illnatured person say,
81 wonder how long she will wait before
she marries AGAIN." and another answer,
"Until she gets good chance, I Supposed
1t is now and then to meet the glance Of
real sympathy, generally from the poorest
and humblest woman that you meet, and
feel your Dyes fill at the token, SO rare, that
it is, alas unlocked for. 1t is to have
your dear fashionable friends condole you
after the following fashion ooh, well it g
dreadful loss. We knew you'd feel it,
poor dear" And in the next breath, "You
we'll be sure to marry again, and your
widows cap is very becoming to YOU"
But it is more than this to be widow.
1t is to miss tho strong arm that you have
leaned upon, the true faith that you know
could never fail you, though all tho world
might forsake you. 1t is to miss the dear
voice that uttered your name with ten
derness none other could give it. 1t is to
hear never more the well-known footsteps
that you flew SO gladly once to meet. To
see no moro the face that, to your adoring
ewes, seemed more lovely than any other.
To feel no more the twining arms that
folded you so lovingly the dear eyes that,
looking into your own, said so plainly,
vhate' er it might seem to Others, yours
was the fairest face earth held to him. II
is to fight with a mighty sorrow as a man
fights with the waves that overwhelm him
and to hold it at arms Length for while
only to have-in hours of loneliness and
weakness-torrent roll over you, while
poor storm-driven dove-you see no haven
of peace in the distance but heaven.

ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.-Samuel Buck,
who died recently near Conneaut, Ohio,
was very eccentric character. He seems
to have had strange prediction to ape
the manners and character of the opposite
sex. He has lived alone for many years,
and performed with equal facility the
duties of housewife and farmer. In the
morning he would don woman's attire,
which become his delicate person well, pre-
pare breakfast, eat, and, having put the
house in order, would unpin his chignon,
exchange his hoopskirt for trowsers, and
90 out to pillow or chop wood, as the case
might be, till noon, when he would appear
again in the role of a lady cook.
