THE HIRED GIRL.
When she came to work for the family or
Congress street.-the lady the house sat dowr
and told her that agents, book peddlers, ha
rack men, picture sellers, ash buyers, ragmen
and all that class of people, must be met al
the front door and coldly repulsed. and Sarah
said she'd repulse 'em, if she had to break
every broomstick in Detroit.
And she did. She threw the door open
wide, bluaed right up at 'em, and when she
got through talking, the checklist agent was
only too glad to leave. 1t got so after awhile
that peddlers marked that house, and the doc,
bell never rang except for company.
The other day, as the lady of the house
was enjoying nap, and Sarah was wiping of
the spoons, the bell rang. She fastened to
the door, expecting to see lady, but her eyes
encountered slim man, dressed in black, and
wearing a white neck-tie. He was the new
minister, and he was going around to get
acquainted with the members of his flock, but
Sarah wasn't expected to know this.
"Ah-um-is Mrs.-ah-w
"Git!' exclaimed Sarah, pointing to the
"Beg pardon, but I'd like to see-see-! p
"Meander!" she shouted, looking around
for weapon Eve don't want and Acur-sifters
here %
"You are mistaken" he replied, smiling
blandly. 81 called TO-"
"Don't want anything to keep moths away
fy| she exclaimed, getting red in the face.
"Is the lady y" he inquired, trying to
look over Sarah's head.
"Yes, the lady's in, and I'm in, and you're
OUT" she snapped, "and now don't want to
stand here talking to fly trap agent any
longer! Come, lift your boots! !'
81 am not an agent" he said, trying to
smile, II am the new"
"Yes, know you-you are the new man
with patent fat.iron, but we don't want any
you'd better 60 before l call the dog!'
"Will you give the lady my card and say
that called ?"
"No, wont. We're bored to death with
cards and hand bills and circulars. Come;
can't stand here all day"
Didn't you know that was min.
ister?" he asked, as he backed off,
"No, nor I don't know it now; you look
like the man who sold the woman next door q
dollar chrome for eighteen shillings|
"But here is my card"
81 don't care for cards. I tell you. If you
leave that gate open I'll heave f1ower-pot at
you!'
II will call again." he said as he went
through the gate.
"It won't do you any good !" she shouted
after him; eve don't want no prepared food
for infants-no piano musc-no stuffed birds
I know the policeman on this beat and il
you come around here again he'll soon find
out whether you are confidence man or q
vagrant !"
And she took unusual care to lock the door.

A HOTEL PUFF-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes thefollowing eulo-
gy of a certain hotel at Atlanta, Ga.: It's the
largest hotel, presume, in the world. Many
people who 60 up in the sky parlors to repose
never come down, but 60 right on throug to
heaven without change of elevators, and those
who have written back say they could smell
the hair oil on the hair of the clerks all the
way up. The halls are so long and winding
that many of the walters get lost while going
after pitcher Of water, and are never heard
Of until their remains are found years after.
I went in there one morning and ordered
breakfast. A small colored boy took the or
der and it was so far out to the kitchen that
he was grown and grsy-headed when he got
back. 1t is very large house-hotel Many
travellers going South and returning by this
city order their meals in advance, and fire.
quently when they get back they have to lay
over week to make connections. The hotel is
very large one; everything about it is very
large, from the feet of the clerks, the mouths
of the walters, up to the bills. 1t is provi.
ded with all modern conveuienees, hot and cold
water, bay windows, idiots, dirty sheets
everything to make the traveller happy, in
cluding an undertaker's establishment for
the accommodation of such boarders as starve
to death while waiting for the walters. 1t is a
very large hotel, and everybody stops there
Just once.
