CARVING A TURKEr-There Is nothing.
SAYS Max Adeler, Young unmarried manlikes
better than to 20 to a dinner at the house
of friend and to be asked to carve the tur-
KEY. He never carved a turkey in his life,
and with an old maid II one side of him.
watching him closely. and on the other side
a fair girl for whom he has tenderness, he
feels embarrassed when he begins First he
pushes the knife down toward one Of the
thish-ioints. He can't find the joint. and he
plunges the knife around in search OF II
until he makes mince meat ont of one whole
quarter Of the fowl. Then he sharpens his
knife. and tackles it again. At last. while
making terrific dig, he hits the joint sud
denly. and the leg tiies into the maiden lady :
lap. while her dress-front Is covered with Il
shower of stufing. Then he goes for the
other leg, and when the young lady tells
him he looks warm, the weather seems TO
him suddenly to become 400 degrees warmer
This leg he finally pulls loose with his fingers.
he lays it on the edge Of the plate, and while
be Is hacking at the wing he gradually
pushes the leg over or the clean tahie-cloth.
and when he picks it upit slips from his hand
into the gravy dish and splashes the gravy
around for six square yards. just As he has
made up his mind that the turkey has no
joints to its wings, the host asks him if he
thinks the Indians can really be civilized.
The girl next TO him laughs, and he says he
viii explain his views upon the subject atte
dinner. Then he sops his brow with his
handkerchief and presses the turkey 50 hard
with the fork that it slides of the dish and
upseis goblet Of water on the girl next to
him. Nearly frantic. he gouge- away again
at the wings, gets them off in a murlated
condition. and digs into the breas-. Before
he can cut any off, the host asks him why
DE don't help out the turkey.
Bewilderel, he puts both legs on n plate
and hands them to the maiden lady, and
then he helps the young girl to a Tla;etul Of
suihnc. and while taking her plate in return
knocks over the gravy-boat Then he SITS
down with the calmness of despair and fans
himself with a napkin. while the servant girl
clears up and takes the turkey to the other
end of the table He doesn't discuss the In
dian question that day. He goes ZONE right
after dinner and spends the night trying to
decide whether To commit suicide or 70 take
lessons in carving.

Old Age.

/ often think each lettering form
That limps along in lifeis decline,
Once wore a heart as young, as warm
As full Of idle thoughts as mine
And each has had is dreams OF JOY,
His own unequal ed, pure romance,
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled al lovely woman's glance
And each could tell his tale Of youth:
Would think its scenes Of love evince
More passions, more unearthly truths,
Than any tale before or Since.
Yes. thev could tell Of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades
OF days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern ma-us'
0fwhispers on a willing ear,
OF kisses on a blushin- check
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips 10 give, % speak
OF passions too untimelN crossed
OF passions sighted OF betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but TO iaee-
Ofbeaming ewes and tresses gay
Elastic form and snowy brow,
And forms that have all passed away.
And left them what we see them now!
And Is il thus Is human love
So very lieht and frail a thing
And must life's brightest visions move
Forever on Time restless wing
Must all the days that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk Of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair tonight,
Hereafter only come TO this
Then. what are earth's best visions worth,
five at length must lose them thus
Irall We value most on earth,
Ere long must fade away from US,

DANIEL WEBSTER AND JENNY Irxp.-

to accompany him in his carriage hack To
Washington, suggesting that he would be
pleased II we would 90 with him also to the
opera, where Jenny Lind was to regalc, for
the last time, Washington audience with
her charming ministrelsy. There was. of
course. no refusing sucn an invitation. 50 we
hurried forward, with glowing authorizations
Of enjoyment, to the appointed scene Of en-
tertainment. On arriving at the door Of the
opera-house, Mr.. Webster entered in his
srandest manner, and slowly passed down
the central aisle Of the building. Itehanced
that Jenny Lind was then on the platfor1n
and MAS about to commence singing our IN
