The Impressive Hotel Clerk.

The hotel clerk venerate in the abstract but
1 am rather afraid to approach him in the con-
crete. My experience is that when hs does not
snub you he patronizes you, and I'd about "a lief
be killed one way as another. Where moral
character and that sort of thing tells, feel par
ticularly at home but where man is judged
only by his clothes, confidence fails me, and am
backward aboutSoming forward.
Can have a rOom?" I modestly ask, after
registering my name.
Clerk looks at me moment, takes in the gen.
eral Observation-Disclosures OF my apparel at glance,
turns away and attends to the swells who get
credit Of Bell instead of buying for cash Of Por-
ter, chats with the young men whom he knows
for few minutes, pauses to tell some old gentle
man with a bald head the last brilliant bon mot
apropos of the Beecher trial, and when every
body else is roomed and he has settled the pen
right behind his ear, then he calls the smallest
bell-boy in the Office and turns to me with,
6 Show this gentleman up to 993!" And by this
time feel 30 humble about it that bow to the
bell-boy and look around for his bag and wonder
how I'm to find No. 993 to show him to.-John
Paul at Long Branch.

fancy as fertile as it was poetic, vocabulary

ball was gotten up for the boys, who, we
know, enjoyed it immensely. After the

And, now y word with regard to the
correspondence in the Consercrtios The
boys feel indignant over the assertion that
that either the correspondent was laboring
under great mistake, or wlfully misrep-
resenting them. In either case, the boys
deny it point blank, and positively affirm
that they were us sober and quiet as they
are at home We don't like to believe
that the correspondent in question would
so misrepresent our boys, and SO we let it
pass as Il mistake, hoping that he will be
more careful us to facts next time. \ re-
