Answering n Girl.

The Boston 7raeeller remarks that though
it has no bureau for answering correspon-
dents, yet interrogatOries are occasionally
received, the latest Of which is from a cal
low youth named Carpenter. Carpenter
says: 1.-Two years ago l was in love with a
girl, and as we got on well together we
would probably have been engaged. One
night she asked me if l thought another
girl pretty; replied conscient.onsly that
thought her very pretty. Ny girl the next
day cut NE dead, and the only word l re-
celved IN explanation was message
through another girl that might go and
sit on the other girls door step il wanted
to, but not to come to her house again.
Last summer was paying attention to an.
other girl, and when one night she asked
me about another girls looks, i wasn't to
be caught. and SO said though. she was
homely. forward mink. She never spoke
to me again. and l found GU. afterwards
present am sweet on another girl. who is
got note in which she wants to know If
think another girl is good looking Now l
want your opinion as to what I'd better
say" There is confusion a bout the numer.
GUS "other girls mentioned in Carpenters
epistle. but we have written 20 him that he
ha d best return an evasive answer. such as.
Il don't know but what she di9nt have"
or something Of that sort. Anv way. Car.
penter's case is hard one. and if we were
in his place we would write to his girl OF
rather our girl (not Carpenters and ours
together but ours alone and say that we
didn': get her letter. and conse quently
couldn't answer her question about the
other girls looks.

Bureaus Without Knobs.

The Boston Commercial .Idtert,seJ says II
ever a man that is mathematical by the
travelling public, it is that stupid, thought
less ass who makes bureaus without knobs
to the drawers. The greater ass is. per
haps, the landlord who buys such useless
things. Ii the one key that pulls open the
whole set OF three or four drawers chances
not to be lost, of course it sticks or gets
stuck by some hasty traveller in the Top or
middle drawer, and the next one who
comes-with his wife, peIhaps-.o stay half
dozen days. and wants the use OF 1t. first
breaks his tnger-nails trying TO open the
drawers, or else gets one o. his own trunk
keys SO inexpiicably tangled mp in one of
the keyholes. that hasty jerk snaps tie key,
and acts as the spark which causes an ex-
plosion of sulphurous expletives. SO that
madame turns round. with a shudder. and
says: my dear, it's no matter. If you
can't get the - things, as you call them,
open, it's no use of your using such dread
ful language" When madame, however,
passes hastily by, and the one protruding
key, sticking out like a Cossack's lance,
catches her new muslin dress and slits an
ugly rent, then comes her turn, and the lord
of creation leans back in one of the broken
springed easy chairs, and laughs. Serious
ly, the hotel keeper and manufacturer and
furniture dealer who sell bureaus without
knobs to all drawers, firmly attached. are
accountable for more profanity than a
balky horse or a decline III copper stocks.
Remember this. furniture dealers and land
lords

The Snares of Saratoga.

Ladies (says the Saratoga correspondent
of the Boston G!obe) are forbidden to step
foot in the precincts of Mr. John Morris
seys great and elegant gambling house.
This veto was put upon the ladies by the
Young Mems Christian Association, for the
purpose of saving the ladies and running the
men: or. as would appear most clearly IN
sensible minds, for the purpose OF running
both. For how are women to be saved II
men go to destruction And much more
certain is the fact that shutting the women
out from any place where men coEgregate
is the best means in the world to abandon 1t

into John Morrissey's house the other day.
and looked 1t over. She was accompanied

Bible Lore.

A clergyman at Thornhiil. DumIriesshire,
was lately examining the parish school.
In the course Of the examination. the Bible
class was brought forward. After many
questions had been asked and answered,
greatly to the satisfaction OF the minister
he proposed that any boy might ask him a
question, as he then might have an idea of
what particular information they wanted
A pause ensued. At last bright-looking
boy said: ''Sir. l would like 10 ask one"
"Wen. my little man. asked the minister,
what is the question you are 10 ask Sir"
said the boy, what was the use Of
JAG obs ladder when the angels had wings 2"
The minister felt taken atack: took out his
snuff box. and looked a. the noy. Il

ton l should have asked al the class. and l
will give sixpence to aus boy in the class
who will answer it, After somewhat
long pause, one little fellow. third from the
