That Unfortunate Danbury Boy.

WHEN boy is in haste to go somewhere
on his own account is not exactly the time
to send him elsewhere on your account
But fond Danbury mother thought diff
ferent. She wanted her boy to carry some
things down stairs, when he thought he
ought to be out doors tickling the car
mans horse. But he took the things. He
put mirror under one arm and clock
under the other. Then he took a chair in
each hand, and hung pail of dishes
around his neck, and filled his pockets
with tumblers, and started for the stairs.
Just as he got to the top to commence the
descent, the mirror slipped, and in an en-
deavor to recover it he lost his balance
and went shooting down to the next floor,
accompanied by all those articles, and
making an earthquake at every bound
Coming up the stairs at the same time was
the carman. He saw the danger, and had
sufficient presence of mind to shout: "Hev,
you! go back" But the boy did not hear
him, apparently, for he kept right on, and
by the carman, leaving that unfortunate
man to follow on his head The cries and
crash brought the rest Of the family to
the rescue, and the disconsolate youth
was saturatedwith arnica and tears, con
trary to the advice of the carman, who
suggested that he be driven into the earth

trouble requisite. Stay-athOme readers
can take their discarded books to some
poor unfortunate they may chance to know,
or send them to those who are interested
in public charities, that they may dispose
of them. And even many invalids (who
are generally great readers) will, doubtless,
be glad to learn that although apparently
able to do so little for themselves or any
one else, they have this opportunity af-
torded them of so greatly helping other
invalids, more unfortunate than them
selves, to an enjoyment for which they
are too poor to pay.

An Interesting Table.

The Boston Aduertiser has prepared an
interesting meteorological table, showing
a complete picture Of the past winter over
the entire northern section of the United
States from Portland, Maine, to Portland
Oregon. The data and figures thus tabu-
lated show many important as well as
some curious results. There are three
marked divisions of climate between the
Atlantic and Pacific, along the belt of
country over which the observations ex
tend, The first division embraces the re-
gion from Maine to the Mississippi, and it
is termed the section of deep SHOWS. Go
ing westward there is rapid dimunition
until, at Duluth, Minnesota, is little more
than one-fourth of the amount at Maine
The boundary between the region of snow
and region comparatively snowless is
found In the vicinity Of the Mississippi
River in Minnesota. From this point to
the Rocky Mountains, across Dakota and
Montana, distance of about nine hun
dred miles, the deposition of moisture
during the whole winter was less than
that OF single Stomp in January between
Lake Michigan and the Atlantic. This
may, therefore, be termed the snowless
region. The third climate division is
west OF the Rocky Mountains, in which
region as well as east 81 the Mississippi,
there is a great deposition of moisture;

A Postal Romance.

1HE Melbourne correspondent of the
Hay ,Standurd tells the following very i'm
probable story of Sir George Bowen: Sir
George Bowen, it must be remembered.
resided at the commencement of his Off
cial career, in the Ionian Islands, and
there it was he met the lady who now
bears his name and title At the time of
their first meeting, Lady Bowen was then
a widow, | believe, with firm determina-
ton to remain such, and this, having come
to the knowledge of the young attache,
prompted within him a mischievous spirit
to test the lady's strength of will. From
his diplomatic education, he considered
that he could safely carry on the siege
without danger to himself, and possibly
he might have done so, only as the i'm
mortal bard says, there is tide in the
affairs Of man. and so in the end found
the youth who had schemes against
woman's resolve. The charming widow,
in reality, was tired Of her solitary life,
and was by no means averse to changing
her state of single blessedness. and the at
tache was far from Indifferent to her. but,
neither in the 1onian Isles or elsewhere,
would lady acknowledge almost to her
self such a weakness The game began
and was carried on with ardor on one side
add apparent indifference on the part of
the lady. The youthful state. man, be-
tween inditing state documents and anna
tory verses, was fully occupied, so much
so that one day he composed two papers,
one for the widow and one proposing a
certain demand to friend on a matter
which he said they had long been con-
sidering, and if it was agreed upon re-
ply was to be forwarded With due off
cial care the letters were dispatched, and
no more thought was needed in the mat
ter The lady and gentleman met few
days after, when one morning a near rela-
tive of the lady calls and informs our d.
plomatist that his offer is accepted by the
| fair widow, while his friend drops in to
know what the deuce he means BY send
ing him an acrostic and passionate verses
of the power of his eyes, which everyone
had acknowledged very Indifferent Our
poor diplomatist found, as did Sam Wei
| Ter, that the widow was too much for him,
| quietly struck his colors, and surrendered
himself captive to his Greek enslaver.
Lady Bowen is woman Of high accom-
| plishments and dtstingue manner
