What Tommy Said.

I've been sick.
Mamma said 'moking was q nasty,
dirty, disgraceful habit, and bad for the
window curtains.
Papa said it wasn't. He said all wise
men 'moked, and that it was good for
rheumatism, and that he didn't care for
the window curtains. And he said that
women didn't know much, anyway, and
they couldn't reason like men
So the next time that papa wasn't nice
bit-that day frew over the accawa
rum and felt as if had the rheuma-
tism every time went to sit down, / just
got papa's pipe and loaded it and smoked
it.
And they put mustard plaster on my
tummick till they most burned hole in
it, guess.
! fink they fought was going to die.
/ did. fought so.
Mamma said l was going to be a little
cherub. Nurse said so, too. Then she
went to nut an ozzer mustard-plaster on
and didn't want her to, so she called
me somefing else. / guess that was
cause l frew the mustard plaster in her
face.
l don't want to be cherub, anyway.
Cherubs are little boys without any
bodies or legs to them-nothing but lit
tie wings right back of their ears. They
can't have mustard -plasters put on them,
but then they don't have much fun, and
| guess the angels use them for playing
marbles.
The other angels are called syrups.
They wear nightgowns and gold rings
about their heads, and no end of wings.
They haven't anything much to do ex-
cept to tote around little harps and play
tag, and loaf about on the clouds.
But wouldn't want to be syrup I'M
less could have a tail, too, like mer-
maid or lobster.
Anyhow, I'd rather be little Tommy for
a while yet.
But ] won't 'moke again.
lguess mamma was right. Maybe I'm
somefing like windowcu 'Moking
isn't good for me- Punch.

With clover, whose round plat, reserved afeld,
In cool green radius twice my length may be
scanning the corn thy burrows else might yield,
To pleasure August bees, fair thoughts, and me,
That here come oft together-daiy I,
stretched prone in summers mortal ecstasy,
Do stir with thanks to thee. as stirs this morn
With waving of the corn,
Unseen, the farmers boy. from round the hill
Whistles u snatch that seeks his soul unsOught,
And fills some time with tune, hOwbeit shrill;
The cricket tells straight on his simple thought
Nay, It's the crickets way Of being still;
The peddler bee drones in, and gossips naught;
Far down the wood, a one-desiring dove
Times me the beating of the heart of love;
And these be all the sounds that mix, each MORN
With waving of the corn.
From here to where the louder passions dwell
Green leagues of billy separations roll;
Trade ends where yon far clOven ridges swell.

4 VIRGINIA STORY.

He wasn't two years old, you see;
He couldn't utter well
A single word-this Wilhe-Wee.
Or whom I'm going to tell.
Yet if you gave him something good
He always tried to say
His Thank you, 'ma'am, as best he could,
In pretty baby way.
And kneelng by his little bed.
In gown of dainty white
He shut his great blue eyes and said
Our Father, every night.
One morning when the bell forprayers
Had summoned all the house.

Some mischief, I'll be boun'.
Come back dis mint. till / put
You shoes and stoCkin's onl'
She shouted down the passage; but
The runaway was gone.
And to himself she heard him say,
As. muttering, on he went
Papa away! Papa awayl'
And wondered what he meant.
Into the breakfast room he pressed,
Mounted his fathers chair.
And gravely waited till the rest
Came in from morning prayer.
And when mamma and sisters three
Had taken each their place,
And paused a moment, quietly.
To say their silent " grace
His head our Willy-Wee low bowed,
And, folding palm to palm.
Shut close his eyes and said aloud:

They were all seated at the cardtable
now, the Duke of Brunswick Reinette's
partner, and De Witt her mothers, just
as it had been during so many evenings
of the past year, and yet it had never
been exactly like this; everyone was
quiet and absurdly preoccupied, as
though there were some great interest at
stake. There seemed to be an atmos-
phere of vague unrest about the table,
for even Mrs. Pillsbury, who knew moth
ing of the impending crisis, was nervous

A MEDICAL restaurant has been lately
established in London, on the principle
that diseases can generally be cured by
a special system of diet, and that they
are caused chiefly byimproper food. On
the entrance of visitor, physician
asks him regarding his ailments. His
meal is then prescribed, and he is al
lowed to eat no more than is presented
to him. AT the close he is dismissed to
smoke a medicated cigar and to sip
coffee, camomile tea, or whatever other
beverage may be considered advisable.

A CHICAGO mans wife entertained him
with selections from Wagner, after which
he expressed himself as resigned to go to
bed, where he slept very soundly. To
ward midnight cats assembled IN the
back yard and yowled frightfully. The
sleeper did not get up and throw boot
jacks at them, but turned on one elbow
and whispered in his dreams: Sing it
once more, Elvira; sing it once more"
She sings it no more, neither anything
else, but thinks of beating her piano into
kindling wood and turning her music
book into curl papers.

The king of spades,
He kissed tbn maids

And Reinette, from her hiding. place
in the arbor, heard it all. So Mary Ann
had been having her troubles 100, and
the cards had told her fortune. If her
own could be decided in some such way!
Then the thought came to her that the
same rules held good when diamonds
were trumps as when spade happened
to be the card turned, and that so the
game of life itself is played in very
much the same way, be the player poor
day-laborer or very king of diamonds.
Mary AIMS game had been played with
spades and clubs, while hers were the
red cards.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

ScHENoK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deserYedly celebra-
ted and popular medicines have effected revolution
in the healing art, and proved the allacy OF several
maxims which have for many years DISTRACTED the
progress of medical science The false supposition
that "Consumpt1on is incurable deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconced themselves to
death without making an effort to escape from
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can De
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (somes of them apparently desper-
ate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup alone; and in
other cases by the same medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and mandrake Pills, one
both, according to the requirements Of the case.
DIR Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
goodIbealth for than forty years. was supposed,
at time to be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless and
abandoned him to his fate, He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR.. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
soutely necessary to personally see DR. Schenck
less patients wish their lungs examined and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal Office

The Rennett-nlay Affair.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-Judge Donohue has
decided that DIR. Phelps is justified under the
statute in refusing to answer the grand jury s
questions in the May-Bennett duel, but also
that Judge Gildersleeve is justified in commit
ting for contempt. DR.. Phelps pledged himself
to appear before the grand jury tomorrow
morning, and was discharged on his own recog-
nizance.
The Graphic has rumor that Fred May is
dead.
The Brooklyn Eagle says Hon. John Foley,
counsel for DR.. Phelps, is authority for the fol-
lowing account of the duel:
Upon arriving at the spot selected, it was re-
solved that lots be drawn for the privilege of
firing the first shot, it having been agreed that
they were not to fire simultaneously May won
the privilege of firing first. He took aim at
Bennett, but the cap of his pistol snapped and
the bullet was not discharged. This, however,
accordingly exhausted his privilege and it be-
came Benefits right to fire. Instead of aiming
at his adversary, Bennett pointed his pistol
towards the sky AID discharged it. Both men
walked toward each other and shook hands and
declared themselves satisfied. The parties then
left the field.
May is absenting himself from this state to
avoid legal prosecution for having avoided the
law against duelling
The rumor of the death of Frederick May
caused some excitement to-day, but doubtless
it is false.
