Unprincipled Performance.

A citizen who shuold be preparing
himself for the unknown life beyond
the grave instead of being up to such
tricks, removed the setting from his
big gold ring the other day, leaving a
marked and decided vacancy. He gets
ON street-car, holds his hand so that
the ring must be seen, and pretty soon
man bends forward and remarks:
Excuse me, sir, but you have lost
the set from your ring"
$50 have,'' replies the owner, as he
looks around on the floor.
Every passenger began to peer
around, and the man who made the dis
covery finally asks:
"Was it valuable set?"
"It was thousand-dollar diamond, :
is the calm reply.
There is another movement on the
part of the passengers Some look
along the seat, some under it, and some
make dive for pearl buttons and other
small objects.
aWhcn did you miss itp'' asks the
first man as the search weakens q little.
"A wear and half ago, when / was
attending camp-meeting in Illinois?
is the sad reply.
Then every passenger straightens up,
every eye looks into vacancy, and moi
the faintest smile can be; seen ON amy
face. A person boarding the car just
then would wonder what great man IN
the city had jnst died, and Il the pas.
