A SUNIMER PIECE,

Mr. Ciumpole, who resides on West Adams
street, not far from Ashland avenue, is man
who loves Nature and is little short-sighted.
The other day he noticed that his dooryartl-plot
looked little dry and needed watering; 50
when he went home at night he took nice
now garden-hose with him, furnished dull; with
a small nozzle and a coupler. He attached it
about dusk, having taken the prccaution to
leave his glasses In the house, aud, sallying out
laid stream on the corner Of the grass-plot
Having reduced it to the consistency Of mud, or
thin porrlugc, he resolved to turn lis attention
to another corner, aud SO attempted to c1-
ccntc the mancu:re OF bringing the hose round
in circle, nozzle downwards Hc did SO
very neatly considering his limited experience,
and after filling bis slippers full OF water direct

pathway, causing misty drizzle that took all
the curl out Of his family who had assembled
pedestrian looming up through the dusk, and
giving the nozzle an upward jerk SO as to avoid
wctting him, was rewarded BY screams of agony
from the sccono-story window Of the house
across the way. He had delivered the etrea1n
with singular accuracy upon the bed OF an hys-
tcrical old maid who was laid up With rheuma-
tlsnl. In his surprise and nervousness he
brought the stream down and directed it tow

The burned child drcads the fire. An enter
prising book-peddler had long infested the
Thirteenth Ward, and became terror to all the
householdcrs By the manner in which be gained
admission to and 1avaged their dwellings. He
had been known to steal children, with the aid
OF his confederatcs, and then rescue them and
bring them back to their hear-broken parents,
and while these latter were embracing their re-
covered offspring aud calling down heavens
choicest blessings on It's prescryer, remark:
"Ahem! Yes Parental love is the holiest in

SPELLING BEES" continue to agitate
the rural districts in England, Nothing
like the excitement these dmusements
create there occurred on this side Of the
Atlantic, although it was here where the
idea originated. In one county paper
before us are accounts OF no less than
twenty-five such affairs in different parts
Of that county during the previous week,
and for several weeks previous the same
paper had been giving accounts Of not
less than dozen, and sometimes score
or more, Of these "bees" in the county, in
each issue. The proceedings differed from
the American spelling bees" in one i'm
portant particular. Prizes are given in
every case, ranging in value from two dol
lars to five dollars, or even more. The
mania pervades all classes Of society, the
aristocratic drawing-room and the pub
lie house tap.room each having its
spelling contests. In contest OF the
latter kind serious result was reached.
Two Irishmen quarreled as to the right
way Of spelling "Hibernian," and by way
OF settling the matter in proper Hiber-
nian fashion split each others skulls.
Some Of the more particular Englishmen
are making objection to the name Spell
ing bee" on the gaound that "bee" is not
a word in the English dictionaries, but an
American slang term. They propose the
name Photographed Tournament"

TELLTALE LIrs.-I have observed that
lips become more or less contracted in
the course OF years, in proportion as they
are accustomed to express good humor
and generosity, or peevishness and con-
traCted mind. Remark the effect which
moment Of ill.tcmper and grudgingness
has upon the lips, and Judge what may be
expected from a habitual series Of such
movements. Remark the reverse, and
make similar judgment. The mouth is
the irankest part OF the face; Il cannot in
the least conceal its sensations. We can
neither hide ill.temper with it, nor
good; we may affect what we please.
but aiIectation will not help us. In
a wrong cause ii will only make our OBJ.

them. The mouth is the seat Of one class
