Yours truly

DIDN'T STAND THE TEsT.-A
young man read in the paper
few days ago that if you wanted
to fnd out if the. woman you had
selected for your future spouse
bad'a good temper you ought to
take occasion to step on her dress,
or snap the sticks Of her fan, or
in some way annoy or discompose
her. "lf," said the great authority
who presides over the column of
advice, "she betrays no sign of ILL
temper, she will prove a model
wife" Accordingly, the young
man seized an opportunity when
his sweetheart was rugged in her
most killing array to step on her
train and. pull out about three
yards of.gathers with rip like
peal of thunder, exposing about
three.quarters of the framework
that makes her dress stick out
behind. But, instead of meeting
the accident with perfect equan-
unity, she turned around and jab-
bed her parasol in his eye, called
him a long-haired leper, and asked
him why he didn't wear his feet
sideways. He expressed himself
thankful that be didn't marry the
girl before finding out what sort
of a temper she had; but the doc
tor doesn't think bis eye willgrow
out again. < 5' ~ ~

SsIettsD Story.
How HE CHOSb HhR.

MUW ILL UAUDM AIEs'
Felix Mildon looked upon bis
rich and fashionable friend Harry
Orme, as a fixed, determined old
bachelor.
Harry Orme was one of those
decp-heartcd, earnest thinkers who
Ioathe the glittering accessories
of merely conventional life. 10
him wife was no mere toy, to
hang with jewels and decorate
with expensive gewgaws, but the
companion on whose refinement
and cultivation depended the hap
piness Of a lifetime.
Harry Orme was thoroughly in
earnest in living, and he could not
respond to the frivolous maxlms
of those who regard life as a holi-
day, TO be spent in pleasure TAX
ing.
The Rev. scptimus Cliff was in
his study as Mr.. Orme entered it;
he looked up with a welcoming
smile.
"Already ~ he asked.
Eyes, already. You have some
thing for me to do ?"
"Thero's ne7erany lack Of that"
said Cliff, laughing. "We clergy
men are always too glad OF hard
working deputies. Here's a list
of places that ought to be visited
this morning, and"
"AEl right" nodded Orme, and
cheerily withdrcw-in his ele-
ment at last, as an active and In
defatigablo doer Of good!
The first place to which he pen
etrated was a dismal den on the
very top,foor Of a swarmlng ten
ement house, where lay child
dying Of disease so loathsome
that the very neighbors kept
aloof.
Orme's entrance was greeted
with noisy gratitude by the mo,
ther and sister of the little sufferer,
although they acknowledged that
their necessities wero not so great
as they had been "before the
young lady came"
"Wbat young lady ~ asked
Orme, wondering within himself
whether any woman could have
had the nerve and resolution
to penetrate into this scene OF
suffering.
"Why, the young lady, to be
sure" said Bridget O'Brien-'she
that goes everywhere, when they're
in trouble, the saints be kind to
herr'
"Oh!" thought our hero, zone
of the Sisters Of Charity, / sup
pose"
The mother took up the cup OF
nauseous medicine, and approach
ed the poor little sick bed.
sCome, honey" she said, "you
know. you promised Miss Darcy
you'd take it good, be the same
token she gave you the pretty
picture book"
Miss Darcy ?" echoed Owen
suddenly turning round.
"Yes, sure-Miss Evelyn; an
isn't it she that comes here every
day to see the poor darlint ?"
Evelyn D'Arcy! it was not Sc
common a name as to be easily
{gnistaken, but Orme was quite GER
tain that there must be some mls
understanding. Evelyn Darcy
was a young lady whom he had
long regarded as a heartless belle
The next abode marked down
by the pencil Of the Rev. SeptlmuS
Cliff was that of a poor old couple
alone, friondless and fast sinking
J into the second childhood.

Stay, stay at home my heart and rest;
Housekeeping hearts are kappiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full! of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed
They wander east they wander west,
And are bafied and beaten and blown about
BY the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
10 stay at home is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that futter their wings and t1y
A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

reach Of those having the most
moderate means. Now and again
you come across men 80 preludIced
IN their views against new things
that they will not use a breach
loader. He will not allow that
there Is the slightest advantage to
be gained in its use. His ideas re-
main unchanged until taught by
some sharp accident that one is
much the safer of the two arms.
OF these the Rev. Adirondack
Murray has furnished the latest ex-
ample in the long chapter Of acct
dents. We learn that that gentle
man. while shooting ducks in Long
Island Sound. was the victim Of
the premature discharge Of lis gun
while loading, whereby one-half OF
his right hand was blown off: this.
OF course, while loading and with
his hand over the muzzle. The
trigger catches. or is caught. the
gun is discharged, and the shooter
is manned for life. If it had been
a gun loaded at the breech by the
insertion Of an already loaded shell,
