Gone to Hear Moody.

A Dedham business man wended his
way home to dinner the other day, and,
arrived at the house, was surprised to
find all the doors locked. Fearing that
some serious mishap had befallen the
partner of his joys and sorrows, and
none of the neighbors being able to give
him any information, he procured a
Ratchet and broke an entire window
sash to fragments. Upon crawling
into the room he found the following
note lying on the table: "Dear Hubby,
I have gone to hear Moody and Sankey.
You will find the key to the front door
on the left.hand corner of the porch,
and some cold ham in the pantry. I
will pray for you."-Boston Globe.

little brother ran to meet him at the
gate William coldly waved him back
and said:

Fisheries, bub, and now's my dog?"
His mother was glad to see him, and
when she asked him if he had enjoyed
himself he replied:
"Oh, l suppose so, though l now
move to strike put all after the enacting

"What sort of talk is that, Willie,
dear?" she asked in great surprise.
"Never mind the talk, mother, but
move the previous question and bring
on the pancakes"
The hired girl came in with the din
ner and wanted to know how he liked
Lansing. He looked at her with great
dignity and replied:

the table, Hannah, for future consider.

She got mad about it., and William
slyly informed his mother that it was
his opinion that Haunah'S title should
be made to conform to the body Of the

needful to sow seed by all waters, and

THE TURF.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-Mr. Pierre Loril-

les. 1t was announced . short time ago
that Mr.. Lorillsrd had offered to match
Parole against Ten Brock for . large
amount, but this was premature. In let
ter to the Sportsman Mr.. Lorillard says: -
~ have not challenged Ten Brock, but l
am willing to run Parole against him for
So, 900 side, SIC, 900 forfeit, at Saratoga,

If the race is run. will also run from my

each race, $1,000 forfeit. Horses to b
named at the post. The four races to be
accepted or none. This offer means that
am willing to run my stable against the

There is no doubt that such q sweeping
and liberal challenge will be accepted by
the Western turfnen, who could easily
make up combination against the Loril-
lard stable, which would make the season
Of 1878 memorable one, and bring some
great horses In competition.
