A Domestic Scene.

A PARASOL tassel is very small
IN thing to create difficulty in a
mans family, yet, insignificant as it is in
itself, did cause much domestic trouble
out in the westend last summer. The
night was warm, as many who were toss
ing about in Intellectual efforts to sleep
may remember Takinga stroll on the
streets about eleven o'clock, to see what
we could see, we came upon discordant
couple, man and wife evidently, who were
so earnestly engaged in family dispute
between themselves that they didn't OBJ
serve us; so we stopped and observed
them. They were Of unmistakable
Teutonic origin. The husband, stubborn
and morose, was seated on the doorstep
of planning mill, and the wife was
standing on the sidewalk iu front of
him, emptying imaginary walls Of wrath
upon his head, varied with female lamen-
tations and pleadings used upon such oc-
casions, all of which he received with
occasional remonstrance. "Only two
years married already" said the indignant
wife, "and you running round NIT de
girls, pooty quick. You ought to be
ashamed NIT mine self. INT here is the
leedle barasol tassel vot | found in your
pocket Yust sich leedle tassel vot
Catrina Won Trumps barasol don't have
got all'e while. Vot you got to say to
dose?" " "Vot / got to say p returned
the husband, in tone of injured inno-
cence. "Vot / tole you already, vot
always tole you, and vot never tell you
some what | live, and always will / toe
you found the leedle borasol tassel at
the pase pail grounds, aud that's plore's
what's the matter"
The wife would not accept the explain
alton, but continued to accuse him of
connubial dereliction, although the only
evidence she seemed to have on hand was
the parasol tassel. At length another ac-
tor appeared on the scene. He proved
to be a neighbor of theirs, and although
he came strolling along, whistling in an
indifferent manner, as if on no purpose
bent, it was apparent that he had sought
them with the view of effecting recon-
ciliation and getting them home.
Halo, Hans, vas this you ?" said the
new conner, acting as though much sur
prised at finding him there, "you are
pooty late out, amt it? Why you no go
home 7" .,.
Il don't go home any more, that's why
| amt out pooty quick late," replied
Hans, gloomily.
The neighbor inquired the reason of
their difficulty, which Mrs Hans was not
slow to give, exhibiting the suspicious
tassel. "Whatp p said the neighbor in
astonishment, "a leedle tassel dis does
make all desc difficulties? Wy, l picks
up heaps of does leedle tassels at the pase
pail grounds efry tay vot II don't go down
there Got tozzens-tousands eff 'em at
home, guess not. Won leedle barasol
tassel! Veil, you youst like to see my
bureau drawers full of dose tassels vot
tells you, unit my frau she likes um, unit
says it's bully. Won leedle tassel makes
all dis troubles. Veil, if | hadn't ouf
believed it never would have seen it,"
He continued in this strain, and finally
made out that every married man IN the
neighborhood had bushels of "leedle bar
asol tassels" which they picked up at the
base ball grounds, conveying the idea that
the air fairly rained tassels wherever there
was throng of ladies to witness base
ball match The woman, at length, be-
came moderately pacifed, and consented
ed to 60 home, forgetting and forgiving,
if Hans would; and Hans, after an
amount of grumbling and hesitation,
which injured feelings seemed to demand,
consented and they went home; the
well.meaning, but somewhat extravagant
neighbor still dwelling upon the heap of
parasol tassels he had himself accumula-
ted at the "pase pail grounts. p Cine in
matt Times.
