Angels gH;aWaraa.

Miss Coates is described in DR.. llol-
lands nicholas Nlintum' (Scribner
for February, as "a member Of that
somewhat widely scattered sisterhood
that report conversations which bave
never taben place. She was without
culture, and had nothing to tall; about
but personalities, Of which she was
the center; and she had acquired the
art, or the habit, Of attributing to 9th
CTS the sentiments and opinions winch
she wished either to cOntroycrt or ap-
prove. She was, in this way, enabled
to give a dramatic quality 10 her con
versatlon, and to find suggestions for
continuing it a0 infnlt,m.'
The following is 2 specimen Of her
conversation :
"lIow many times I've said to Mr.
Coates, Mr.. Coates, says |, what
ever you are, don't let it be laid to
your door that you are greedy, and
take advantage Of your telow,men,
Entertain angels unawares, says /,
whenever you get 4 chance. What
ever you are, be hospitable,' says !,
You are not required to be extrava-
giant, and spend SO much money on
Injuries that you cant give tho best
advantages to your offspring but you
are required to entertain angels una
wares, and furnish them the best that
the market affords Often and often
Jenny has said TO me, Mother, you
entertain more angels unawares than
any woman know Of, and you arc
wearing yourself all out. Jenny,
says |, i shall keep on doing SO until
| drop i'll my tracks, and open the
best room to them, too. "

Then he Rwore 4 great oath
That the thing couldn't be,
And he clenched his fists both,
And said "Listen to me

And if increase Of ballots were needed
They smuggled them through the cracks.
Thus the cards were all stocked,

And perhaps in the end to enslaye.
