noon, his thoughts intent upon his
Sunday sermon, and his mind with
drawn from earthly cares, when his
train of thought was rudely inter
rupted, and his attention distracted
by the following conversation:
'Oh, Nellie, where are you-you'd
ought to have been there-just the
stunningst fellowp'
Then a sound Of running feet, and
pretty soon he heard his daughter
exclaim:
is that you, MaggieY
Yes, come down quick, Pve got
something to tell you"
I'll be there in a jiffy.'
Then door opened and shut, ans
in few minutes,
What do you think, as 1 was com
ing over here, there was just the
stunningest fellow, right in front of
me. Just as got opposite the new
church, my music roll slipped, and
every paper in it fell out on the side
walk
Gracious, l should have been
dumbfounded.'
'And so / wss, but it was 80 ridicu-

stopped, turned round, and helped
me to pick them up. was all hunky

The good Doctor scratched his
head. Could that be his Nellie,
whom he thought so lady-like2 He
opened the door softly, little crack,
thinking no doubt that he had a
right to play the listener to so
strangely mixed a conversation, and
in his own house.
Very soon it was continued, this
time his daughter commenced the
conversation.
There, how's that for high?
oh, isn't that sweet, how much
was itT
Oily five dollars-cheap enough.'
Yes, indeed; but you said you
were going to have pink, this is blue
Never mind, it's all the same in
Dutch
The Doctor peeped in to see what
they were talking about-and Miss
Nellie was exhibiting her new bon
net to the admirlng gaze of her
friend.
ITS raging hot here
well, l don't know as l can make
it any cooler said Nellie, looking
around, 4 'spose father'd kill me if

Don't tear yourself away. Are

'Ob, the dickens, I've left my par

Now, good by, be sure and come

Yes, good by

that would cure the unfortune habit,
into which his daughter had fallen.
The plan was discussed with the
young lady's mother, and adopted.
The time for tea had arrived, and
