Contraction and Expansion.

John Henry was with Julia the other
evening when she observed: "John,
dear, what is all this talk about con-
tracing and expanding the currency,
and which do you believe IMP" ''Well,
my sweet" said John, pulling up his
collar, ''that depends upon circum-
stances. In some cases | should advo-

others an expansion of it. 1t is accord

condition of things ''But what is the
difference between the two, and how do
circumstances affect them? That's what

Young America Takes a Public
Bath.


Little Tommy Stewards weakness is
water, which can't be said of many OF
the prisoners brought up at the Tombs
Police Court. Tommy is only nine years
old, and stands three feet odd in his
stockings. Officer Snyder, of the Broad
way Squad, who introduced him to
Justice Otterbourg, is very much older,
and stands six feet four in his stockings.
Officer Snyder patrolled the beat which
skirts on the western side of the City
hall Park Thursday afternoon, and, OBJ
serving large crowd gathered about
the fountain on the northwest corner,
the big policeman approached to see
what it was all about. There he found
Tommy stark naked, wallowing about
in the CrotOn water in the fountain
basin, having good time all by him.

Tommy was heard to say, soto voce,
"Cheese it, a cop" and thereupon made
for the center of the basin and held on

Will you come out?" cried she Off
Ger again.
civil if you'll carry me. I'm very
delicate, indeed" was the tantalizing
little rogue's reply.
The crowd, among which were many
women, roared with laughter, and the
officer got red in the face. --s-
essay, old buttons" screamed the lit
tie bather, "peel off and take dip
you needs it, (Grand laugh from the
crowd, which numbered hundreds by
this time.)
The officer retired for few moments,
taking Tommy's clothes with him, and
soon returned with a pole. He COM
manded the youngster again to come
out, but Tommy replied by placing his
right thumb on his nose and extending
his hand, wiggling the fingers thereof
(Another grand laugh.)
"Well,'' said the officer, "I'l fix
you," getting ready to poke Tommy
with the pole.
Tommy lodged around to the other
side, the officer after him. This feature
of the fun continued until the officer was
quite out of breath. After making the
circuit of the basin two or three times,
he copcluded to give it up.
"You can stay there" said he, "but
III take your clothes to the station
house."
This frightened the boy, and he so far
gave in as to answer that if the officer !
would lay down his clothes and go away,
he would come out, dress and 90 home.
Officer Snyder said "no," and in
formed Tommy that he would shut off |
the water and empty the basin unless he
same out at once, "and then," said he, !
YOU will be sent to the House of /
Refuge" This was enough for Tommy.
Out he came, blubbering that he would |
have come out long ago, but he was
afraid.
He was quickly dressed and taken to
the station-house for the night, and |
when brought up yesterday morning
before Justice Ottcrbourg he promised .
he'd never again do bad thing if the
Judge would not send him to the House .
of Refuge. The Judge took his word'
and sent him to prison for three days.

fogether we walked I'm the evening time.
Above US the sky spread golden and clear,
And he bent his head and looked in my eyes
As ifhe held me of all most dear.
OH It was sweet in the evening time
Grayer the light grew and grayer still,
The rocks fitted home through the evening

The nightingales sang where the thorns stood
high,
As / walked with him in the woodland
glade.
OH it was sweet in the evening tinei
And our pathway went through fields of
wheat; ts FH.
Narrow that path and rough the way,
Bnthe'was near, and the birds sang true,
And the stars came out in the twilight gray.
OH it was sweet in tn. evening timei
Softly he spoke of days long past,
Softly of blessed days TO be;
Close to his arm and closer priest,
The corn field path was Eden to me.
on IL was sweetin the evening timel
And the latest CLEANS of daylight died.
My hand in his EMBODIED lay:
We swept the dew from the wheat as we
passed;
FOR narrower, narrower, wound the way

He looked in the depths of my eyes and said.

For Bilious, Remittent, and In

Or what is more commonly termed Fever and
Ague, with pain in the loins and through the
back and inde-cribable chilly sensation down the
spine an irresistible disposition to yawn, pain in
the eyes, which is increased by moving them,
blue tinge in the skin, and great listlessness and
debility, VEGETINE is a safe and positive
remedy. 1t is compounded exclusively from
the Juices of carefully selected barks and herbs
and so strongly concentrated that it is one of the
greatest cleansers of the blood that is or
can be put together. VBGETINE does not stop
with breaking ChiIls and Fever, but it ex-
tends its wonderful influence into every part Of
the human system, and entirely eradicates every
faint of disease. VEGETINE DOES NOT act as a
powerful cathartic, or debilitate the bowels and
cause the patient to dread other serious COM
plants which must inevitably follow; but strikes
at the root OF disease by purifying the blood,
restores the liver and kidneys to healthy &C
ton, regulates the bowels. and assists

People Who Believe i'm Luck.

Some people are fond of denying that
there is any such thing as " luck" but,
be that as it may, there certainly are
persons to whom what seems like fortu-
itous good fortune Comes. Col Green
Wilkinson gave seat in his pew in
London to an old gentleman, who left
him 100000 year. A young Boston
ian crossed to England three or four
years ago, and got into conversation
with an elderly gentleman who observed
that he found they had the same name.
1t turned out that they were second
cousins. The elder had gone to Cali
fornia in the early days, made a vast
fortune, and entirely lost sight Of his
relatives. That chance meeting gave
the young Bostonian a fortune of be-
tween two and three millions. Two
ladies had a box at the opera in London.
An old man opposite bored them dread
fully by perpetually "lorgnetting "
them. The scene came to an end, and
they thought no more about him. One
day, a year afterward, a solicitor called
on one of the ladies, Lady Frances
Bruce, and told her that an old gentle
man, Mr.. W., had left her property
worth several thousand year. Never
heard of the man. she said, "must be
a mistake.p az Very extraordinary, =
replied the solicitor Suddenly hap
ply thought struck him. "He lies in his
coffin in st. James's Street, close by, at
Banting's, the great undertaker's; will
YOU come and see him?" She went. 1t
was the old lorgnetter And it is said
that he left it to her under mistake,
after all, having intended to leave to
her friend, whom, and not Lady Fran
ceS, he admired, but was misinformed
as to the names of the ladies. And to
give one more, quite recent instance
