clergymeo, who, ostensibly 10 attend
ance At meetings Of the A. B.O.F.
State and County C's s. 8. A. and Y.
absent themselves from the assemblies Of
their brethren, in secular devotion to
Aunt Fannys and young Fsnoys. DR..
Hooper, for example, could furnis;, a
lar more Trustworthy report of the to-
poeraphy of our particular suburb, than
'l tho discussions which .git1ted his
peers during the three days follow
log his opening sermon.
Can you believe that that hitherto
eonhding, complacent aunt Of mine has
oever vouchsafed anything but the
most barren generalities in regard to
that evening drive, and her escorts d.
fense against the charge of eaves-drop-
ping?
1t must have been in provision OF
this base requital Of my tender beauti-
tying Of her person that fateful after
noon that l had remarked to Dr.. Hoop
er on the superlative baseness of the
vice of ingratitude.
And when certain ceremony, SOL
eu.nized at our house two months ago
had proclaimed on the housctops wbas
was spoken in the ear in closets long
before, ventured to say to the BRIDE
groom: "Uucle Hooper, I suppose you
overheard me some weeks ago declar-
ing that I would like to kiss you. I
hadn't the least idea at the time what
misery you we're going to bring upon
US, nor what wicked eavesdropper
you were at that very moment, or I
should have expressed a very different
desire very differently. But, if you
will only tell me how you inveigled
Aunt Fanny into forgivins you so
quickly for lying IN wait in the Blue
room while pair Of unwary babes were
tabbling about you, l will try to for
give you even to the extent Of that
aforesaid kiss" When had so hum1li-
ated myself, what did he,-that base
eaves-dropper and desolater of our
household? Why, he smiled triumph
antly, patted me cavalierly on tho head,
and said: II think little Fanny should
be fully satisfied to know that Au.s
Fanny is satisfied" and kissed-
Aunt Fanny.
II am Sir Oracle, let NJ dog bark"
I have told you show We lost Aunt
Fanny" but how DR.. Hooper managed
to secure her is an awful mystery to
this day. That he got her surreptiti-
ously through key.hole, 50 to speak,
is evident, for there is every reason to
believe that had they "met by chance,
the usual way" uur delegate would
have eaten his meat with singlepes Of
heart, even without Aunt Fanny for
his u,s-a-vis, attended conscientiously to
his official duties, and finally adjourn
ed to his bachelor quarters sine die.
Yes; the long and the short Of the
story is that ", must forever mourn
the loss of our a1gel of the household,
and that it was papa's own particular
iniquity Of observation-disclosures which
brought upon us all the miseries Of her
