IneSe CHS9ack6 nave some very CUE

atively young men, and nearly all Of
course married to young wives. It
often happens, as 10 the present In

four years, and the natural result IL
that many OF the wives LEFT behind do

Winter-kept apples, old wine, a
clouded meerschaum, vase around
which the scent Of roses still hangs,
all these have rare, ripe, evanescent
flavor that suggest but can not ex-
press the charm of the widow. A
young widow is, perhaps, the most
interesting object in nlture-or in
art. She represents experience
without its wrinkles or its gray
hairs. She has matronly beauty
and maidenly freedom combined.
She is grief with a laughing eye
sorrow in a house Of festival-a
silver moon in a sable cloud. She
is too sweet for anything. Like all
good things, she can only be created
at a great sacrifice. Mrs. Browning
says that a man must be pretty
thoroughly spoiled before he can
leave a widow. This black swan
this mournful Phenix-rises only
out of the funeral urn that holds
the ashes of a husbands heart,
Poets, statesmen, heroes and phil
osophcrs have each felt the indie.
Unable influence of widowhood. Its
quality is not strained. 1t falls
alike upon the just and the unjust.
Edward Plantagenet married the
widow, Elizabeth Gray, though he
knew she brought civil war for her
dowry. Ned Walker, Joe Addison,
Sam johnson, Geo. Washington,
Napoleon Bonaparte, John Wesley,
Toney Weller, Ben Disraeli, and all
the boys married widows. Henry
VIII was SO fond of them that he
took two, and King David was SO
pleased with Abigail, tho widow Of
Nabal, whom he took to wife, that
he turned BathSheba into a widow
on purpose to marry her, When
Judith ceases her oogitations over
the virtues Of the late lamented
Manassas, Of Bethulia, puts off her
mourning and adorns herself in
brave attire to set out for the camp
of Holofernes, we feel instlnctively
that she will come back with his
heart, hig GROWN or heRds which
eyer she goes for. When the old
widow, Naomi, coqnselS the young
widow, Ruth, how to lay SHAPES IN
the harvest held of her kinsmau,
and spring her net on the thresh-
ing GGeeor; we at once know that the
wealthy bachelor, Boaz, might as
well order the wedding garments.
Allan Ramsay wrote song telling
how to WOO a widow. He might
as well have left directions how to
get struck with lightning.

for several days the big rat declined
and ventured no further than a
heads length beyond the hole.
Finally he took courage and rushed
out for the morsel thrown by the
feeble hands; still he made as little
delay as possible until the time grew
ripe for closer acquaintance. The
invalid gradually induced his rat
ship to make nearer advances, and
he began to linger after the daily
meal and gambol about the floor
until the first strange footstep fell
upon the threshold, and then he
was off like a flash. Then it be-
came one of the poor sick girls
whims to have her rats daily por-
ton specially laid by, and the fierce
looking and anomalous pet at
length was coaxed to run up the
side of the table and nibble his
dinner beside his kindly mistress.
Even then he could not be induced
to stay if the most stealthy football
was heard near the door. At last
he permitted himself to be fondled
without any treacherous resistance,
and the sick girl had not the least
fear of him. lie was never heard
at night, nor was there any other
rat about the premises. Then the
feeble hand could serve the strange
pet not longer, nor could the poor
girl be left alone long enough to
assure the tanned rodent that it was
safe to come out. She died, and
all efforts to call him out of his
Tlace we're unavailing. The sick
girl had had him in a tame con-
dition for nearly six months.

Three little girls, the eldest about
nine, and the youngest seven years
of age, were brought borore Cap
tain Short, at the police Office,
about II o'clock last night. The
officer who arrested them stated
that he found them on Kearney
street, apparently drunk. When
questioned, the girls said they were
"only playing drunk" With a
warning admonition to go home
the Captain hade them depart,
Soon after, q reporter of the Chron.
icle oAortook them on his way down
Washington street, from the police
station, and told them they had
better go home or the police might
arrest them.
"For sure?" asked one.
Yes, for sure, and next time
yon will be locked MP"
"We don't care" said the young
est! " do We, girlss" and a NEGATIVE
Response came from all.
There's too many special police
men round town, anyway" said
one.
We'd like to be put in Jail once,
Just 10 sec bow it seems" said an
other.
"But you must go home, girls,
or some man will carry you off"
adm9piShed the reporter.
"No he won't, "chorused all of
them. "We're hoods, we are"
said the eldest. EYES," said one
of the Others, "and I'd like to see
any man try it on. My father told
me not to pay any 'tention to a
man who tries to copper me on the
street" "Ain't we got no right
to get drunk to-day if we wanter?"
asked one Of them.
Just then aR officer stepped into
the moonlight, and at the Sight of
the glitteriug star upon his breast
they all Turned and scampered
down SaRsome street toward the
Barbary Coast. Police officers state
that in many quarters Of the city
children are allowed to run the
streets long after dark; their pa
rents do not seem to pay any at
tontion to them unless they fall
into serious trouble, and in this
manner the very worst class Of the
female hoodlums and abandoned
women are produced.

side promised never again to speak
to my wife.
President-M. Buston, on the
contrary, afiirms that he was to give
you that amount excess so as to
dispose of your wife as best suited

Accused-No; it was to prevent
me from entering complaint. He
even made me sign a paper declar-

answered that such a demand re-

Hint For Old Clothes Dealers.


Its reported that a dealer in second
hand clothes, living in the Quarter Latin,
in Paris, has hit upon a somewhat inge-
NOUS idea Of ofdisposing of the garments
which are too old-fashionsd or too dilapi-
dated to fetch any thing like good price.
Attached to the various articles hanging
outside his shops are modestlY-written
cards containing announcements like the
following:
1Pair of trowsers worn by Mr. Guizot on
his arrival in Paris"
"Overcoat belonging to Mr.. Littre before
he became celebrated.7
"Dr4ssing gown formerly belonging to
Alexander Dumas"
'SVest worn by NJ. Thiers when Presi-
dent Of the Republic"
t is, perhaps, needless to say that those
interesting relies are rapidly bought and
proudly worn by the economical students,
Notwithstanding the skepticism Of some Of
the purchasers.
"Would you have me believe" said
young artist one day, as he inspected
yelveteen coat, "that this belonged to
Victor Hugo? Plainly, It is too small
for him.
"Do you think, replied the unabashed
dealer, that Victor Hugo would have sold /
