JOnes's Call.

Jones was dry hadn't been so dry
since the strike, but there was no saloon
close by, and he had passed the last drug
store. He knew Mrs. ]. had little old
Hennessy about the house that she put
in puddings and pies, and he sat down
on the door steps and wondered how
he could save it from being wasted
in such fxings, as economy was his
motto.
He looked up at the dog star, the
alioth and the milk-maid's path, but
they were silent and tending strictly to
business, A scheme finally dawned
on him, and he opened the door and felt
his way back to the ice-cooler, got up in
chair and fished out piece of ice, but
toned up his coat and turned up the col
lar. Then he staggered up stairs, ice in
hand, and met Mrs. Jones.
What's the matter, Jones-been drill.

shiver.
"CaucusT' "No, no caucus" "An
other strike?" No-chill," said Jones
as he sank into chair and slipped the
ice in his coat pocket. "Feel my hand
ooh, myV and she shuddered. Then sh,
got a blanket and put over him, anc
said she would make some hot tea. A.
she started for the kitchen, Jones callet
her back, and, with sigh, suggested i
there was a little alcohol about the
house it would be better. There wasn''
a bit, but she had little brandy fol
cooking purposes. Jones gave shake
and said it would answer if she had ;
lite hot water and sugar to make i
palatable. They were on hand in two
minutes, and while she pulled off hi
boots and wrapped blanket around hi
feet, Jones mixed the toddy and shivered
He felt better afterwards, though h,
made up a terrible face when he emptiet
the bottle, and told Mrs. Jones that sh,
had saved his life. He retired tel
minutes afterwards singing,

GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.
MODERN YoUNG LADY OF FASHION.

She lounges all day in the parlor,
And likes to be daintily fed,
While mamma il down in the kitchen,
And papa is toiling for bread.
She wears the most exquisite raiment
That ever purchased or sold,
Displaying the costliest laces,
And cleaning with jewels Of gold.
Her parents slave hard to maintain her,
In elegant indolence-well,
they wear themselves out for their " darling"
Because she's the family belle.
She plays the piano divinely,"
And screeches from morning till night,
With toes peeping out of her stockings,
And hair in disoTderly plight.
Except when there's company" coming,
Vain 4 rts or male eoxconbs and then,
She hides her improyident habits,
And charms the " coarse" creatures-the men.
A slattern at home, she's creature
Quite often not ht to be seen,
Abroad, like butterfly gaudy
Assuming the airs Of que.n.
Averse TO sweet womanly duty,
No labor her fingers shall soil,
She sets herself up for beauty,
And scorns all the children of toll.
Quite useless, forever exacting,
The service of others TO feed
Her vanity paltry and selfish
With gratitude not in her creed.
In silks hear her gracefully rustic
CTwas paid for by others Of course)
She wears prepOsterous hustle,
And her hair from the tail Of a horse.
Her limbs are indebted to sawdust-
Slim shanks meath the same may be found,
Her bust Is crammed full Of cotton,
To make 1t look heaving and round.
Complexion and eyebrows are clever,
And nature resemble-in part,
Her teeth are nice movable fixtures,
The very perfection OF art
She talks, and she minces and simpers,
And utters opinion, by rule;
Exhibiting dubious graces
Picked up at nice boarding school.
She wears not stitch on her person
Not paid for by Others-'tis plain,
She'd certainly died of starvation
If helpless allowed 10 remain.
She practices soft impositions,
And stuis herself up with conceit;
We worship the sex--but must call her
A feminine loaier and "beat."
Her talk Is the veriest twaddle
That ever assaulted the car
She never can mention rival
Without a pereeptible sneer.
Her nose she's forever upturning
At others, in insOlent scorn;
With hate she is constantly burning
To plant in some bosom thorn.
That very magnificent bonnet
was earned by her mother who scrubs;
The beautiful roses upon il
Grew out Of a wash woman's tubsi
Her father that velvet cloak bought her
BY cheating patron in trade,
Committing a sin for his daughter,
That she might be richly arrayed
She speaks of patrician connections,
And Of her own noble descent
Her grandfather being cobber
Kicked out for non-payment of rent.
Her grandmother, bless the old lady,
Had none of the family pride
She always took snuff from her pocket,
Till in the town poor-house she died.
Our modern young lady Of fashion
In wedlock is fearfully " fast -
She married a count--he's barber
Then he lives in garrett at last.
What epitaph can there be written
On her a maiden ur bride7
" She has passed through useless existence,
She hyed--and Observation-Disclosures.
