An AnecdOte Of Bret Harte.

Bret Harte was lecturing in Pennsylva-
MIA short time ago. AT one of his ap-
pointments he felt very much depressed.
1t is peculiarly of bumorists, we are
told, to be unaccountably melancholy and
gloomy at times. Harte was IN this
mood now. One of the committee went
in back of the scenes to see him. and
the depressed humorist welcomed him
as CLEAN Of unusual good sunshine
They shook hands-llarte earnestly, and
the committeeman decOrously.
" Mr.. Harte," he said gravely "you
will find this an unusually healthy
city,
ALI" said the pleased humorist.
Yes. The death-rate is only one a
day"
AT this juncture Harte took the CON-
mitteeman by the arm, and hurriedly
asked:
- Is he dead 2"
" Dead." calculated the committeeman.
Who deady'
why, the man for to day" was the
grave reply.
The committeeman stared with all his
might into the immoyable face of the lect-
urer.
Aoii thNAN "a VII N mere, Vi register OE
coroner or something like that, of whom
you could find out whether man for this
day has died?"
Why, yes, ! suppose So" slowly re-
pied the committeeman
Would You be so good then as to find
out, and before commence the lecture if
possible, whether that man is dead? II
he is dead, then am all right for am
to leave the city early tomorrow MORN
ing; butif ne isn't dead | cannot help but
feel uneasy about myself, and am not
we'll to night"
The kind hearted committeeman imme-
diately hurried away to get the informa-
ton
When in his room at the hotel that
night servant told him gentleman
wished him to step down stairs in the
hall AS he wanted to see him. Mr.. Harte
went down, and there met the committee
man
am sorry, Mr.. Harte, to disturb YOU
he said; " but could not get that infor-
nation earlier 1t is all right That death
rate spoke of rds merely the aoerdge"--
