introduced TO numerous cocktails and
thirteen young ladies'. Now Graphy 10 q
gallant man and q generous. SO in tbs
warmth Of his heart he forgot n young
lady as o o as the charms OF the next
were brought to bear upon him. OF
course the Fair was the chief topic Of con-
versation. aud the moment the young lady
who had Grsphy In bondage mentioned
the exhibition. he instantly invited her to
ride out with him to the grounds OF tho
following morning. The whole thirteen
thus went 10 bed under the impression
that they each had a sure thing on Ora
phys trim little trap on the morrow.
As for Graphy himself he hal no impress
sion VI anything when he tumbled into
tho sheets. But he awoke about four In
ths morning with q reform bonfire blazing
In his inside. II happened that there was
no water in the room and Graphy dressed
with the speed Of q man whose life de-
pended upon his haste. and rushed down
to the bArroom and put = cocktail or two
where they would do the most good. Then
the man behind the bar stated that he had
received no less than ten notes from ~
many young ladies, begging him. as tho

THE PooR YoUNG MAN.

They have put in steam boiler under
the post office, and are going TO heat the
building by steam. Men are excayating
under the walk TO secure more room, and
the work will explain itself to any person
who will use his eyes for second. Not
withstanding this fact, every man who
stops at the stamp window says:
Give me two-cent stamp. ] see they
are digging out there.
Yes.

Yes.

The man pauses here to lick on his
stamp, and then continues:

And they had to lift up the pavement,

Suppose they'll be at work for whole

Yes.

No.
About this time new man comes up,

THEY CARRIED IT TOO FAR.

Mr.. Butterwick called in TO see me the
other day, and in the course of the con-
versation he said;
! am going to move, ! can't stand
those Thompson's, next door to me, any
longer. They're tho awfullest people TO
borrow things that ever saw Coffee
and sugar, and butter, and -four don't
mind so much, although when woman
borrows high-priced sugar and Java cof-
fee aud sends back sand and chickory,
man naturally feels bilious aud mad.
But they've borrowed pretty near every
thing in the house. Frst IFS one thing and
then it's another, from morning till night
right straight along Now there's the
poker A poker's piece of machinery
that you'd think anybody might 20
around and bny, or If they couldn't 'taiiord
II they might use a fence paIing TO shake
up the fire. But Mrs. Thompson seems
to banker after our poker. She borrows
il fifteen or twenty times day, and last
Saturday she sent for ii thirty-four times.
She pays boy two dollars week to
run over and borrow the poker; aud
she's used il SO much that its ali bent mp
| like corkscrew.
| Now take chairs, for instance. She
asks us to lend her chairs three times a
day at every meal, and she borrows the
rocking chair whenever she wants to put
the baby TO sleep. A couple of times she
sen, over for a sofa, aud when the boy
came back with it he said Mrs. Thomp-
son was mad as thunder aud growing
around the honse all day because there
were no eastors on 1t. Last Monday she
borrowed our wash boiler, and we had
TO put of washing til Tuesday She
did her preserving in II, and the conse-
Quence was all our clothes were full OF
preserved peaches. I've got on an I'M
dershirt now that I'm mighty doubtful Il
ever get of, It's stuck to me 80 tight.
Every now aud then abe has company
and then she borrows our hired girl and
all the parlor furniture; once, because
would not carry the piano over for htl
and take down the chandelier, she told
our girl that there were rumors sbout
town that was reformed pirate.
Perfectly scsndalous They think
nothing Of sending over for couple o.
bedsteads or an entry carpet; aud tn

Papa, she then said, we must 20 and

Yes, dear. said MIR. Archibald Steele I;
aud all the way through the corridor aud
and into the parlors OF the hotel, with
his plump aud pretty wife on one arm,
his lovely daughter on the other, he
smiled.
But John was still surrounded by the
pretty and sympathetic women, who had

John was almost hidden in ilounces
and lsces; bat when his eyes met Lsura's
he plunged out OF those costly billows
with his usual case and intrepidity -
There was something in Laura's eyes
that he had never seen there before;
tempting languor, bewitching shyness
a bewildering spendor, that stepped his
soul in mad, sweet hope.
Laura stopped one moment to whisper
to her mamma, and John gasped ont to

continued Mr.. Steele, and [ flatter my

And John did. Laura walked through
the parlors that night, the envied OF all

brave and appreciative men that congre-
gated there.
