The Trick of a Prospective Brother.
in.iaw.

ARATHER contemplate trick was played
on one of our young clerks, Sunday night.
He bought a cut.glass bottle Of cologne,
with a glass stopper and pink ribbon, to
present TO a young lady he is keeping
company with, hut on reaching the house
he felt a little embarrassed for fear there
were members Of the family present, and
so he left the beautiful gift on the stoop
and passed in. The movement was per-
ceiyed by a & raceless brother Of the young
lady, who appropriated the cologne TO his
own use, and refiDed the bottle with
hartshorn from the family jar, and then
hung around to observe the result. In a
little while the young man slipped ont on
the stoop, aud securing the splendid gift,
slipped back again into the parlor, where,
with few appropriate words, he pressed
ii upon the blushirg girl. Like a good
and faithful daughter that she was she at
once hurried into the presence of her
mother, and the old lady was charmed.
They didn't put up scent stuff like
that when she was a girl; it was
kept in a china tea cup and it
was held together by samples of all
the fsmily's hair. But she was very
much pleased with it. She drew out the
stopper, laid the beautiful petals OF her
nostrils over the aperture, and fetched a
pull at the contents that fairly made them
bubble. Then she laid the bottle down,
and picked up a brass mounted fire shovel
instead, and said she, as soon as she could
say anything: "Where is that plaguy
brat?n And he, all unconscious Of what
had happened, was in front of the mirror
adjusting his necktie and smiling AT him
self. And here she found him, and said
to him: "Oh, you are laughing at the
trick Of an old woman, are you, you wall
eyed leper." And then she basted him
one +, n the ear. And he, being by nature
more eloquent with his legs than his
tongue, FASTENED from there, bowling like
mad, and accompanied to the gate by that
brass mounted shovel. He says be would
give everything on earth If he could shake
off the impression that q mistake had
been made -Daadnrg Ness.

A coon story is told of a widow lady
whose husband died far away from home,
and 1t took 81 long for his remains to
reach her that his relict had quite rec0y.
cred from her grief, and was giving a
large lunch party when they finally ar.
rived. A wagon drove up to tne door,
and q large boz was handed out. Curios.
ity ran high among the ladies at the win
dow, and With one accord they exciaim-
ed, ''Why, Nrs. Jones, what can that
be-" Up went Mrs. Jones eyeglasses,
and. after a glance, she coolly said,
why, it must be Jones come homo.

der at the insensibility TO ridicule which
could prompt him to set down such a lest
at his own expense. The truth was, he
was so filled with vanity, that all the
nicer senses became blunted, and he was
even unconscious of the roars Of laughter
these foolish condolences produced. The
CoLNmandant could not resist the entrea-
! ties o his wife. Alexandra declared that
he had infinite respect for the lady, but
entreated her husband to send her away,
and i2t the men finish the business. The
poor Commandant protested that his self
respect must be respected, He
could not decently yield 10
a single man. Alexandra then
offered to sign a paper, to the effect that
the order had been extorted at the
mouth Of the pistol-barrel." "Or would
you prefer" he added, that | should
fetch two or three Of nv companions, so
that you should seem to have yielded to a
more respectable force" The Command
ant accepted this proposal, and Alexandra
left him, bluntly declaring that no ad.
vantage must be taken Of the delay or h9
would return and "blow al their brains
ont" and that the whole party must give
their parole Of honor that they would re-
main exactly as they were.
Yes, yes, " cried the lady. Alexandra
made her a low bow, but declared that it
Was not her parole that he wanted. The
Commandment gave what was required Of

pact OF jars'-made up Of many little
uttersnces, but all discordant; many little
prickles Of 3 churltsh hedgehog; many
little neas that bite incessant, before and
behind, many hies, bringing virus in their
probosces from the nearest carrion. The
shrewd and nasty little paragraphs Of the
Campaign Papers are "by-blows" In Q
double sense; for no responsible intellect
Is expected to acknowledge their parent
age. They come anonymously; they die
and leave no sign; and when the occasion
Of their being has passed away, you could
not more grossly aggrieve and shame their
authors than TO attempt their resaseitssiou.
By common consent, they are consigned

must be forged, CARVED, suppressed. Scan

relations must be outraged; and person.
slities must swarm like noisome insects
