Restaurant Romance.

A bit of romance recently came to my mo-
tice which has not before appeared in print.
Some time in December last girl about
seventeen years of age, who at that time was
serving as table waiter in large dining
restaurant, was arrested for stealing pack
age Of money from the pocket of a gentle
mans overcoat which was hanging in the
room while he was eating his dinner. At
the preliminary examination party swore
to having seen her take the coat down and
hang it up quickly again; that she soon left
the room for short time and as it was not
to be found she was held for trial. In vain
she protested that she merely moved the
coat to avoid its getting soiled; in vain with
fearful eyes she offered to be searched. The
circumstances were suspicious, and the Of
iicers inexorable. In the meantime the
gentleman who had lost the money became
interested in her history, found that she was
an orphan girl, and though comparatively
friendless, bearing an excellent character.
Further than this, he ascertained that she
was of English parentage, that her name
was the same as his own, and to make the
story short, from the evidence which he
could not disbelieve, that she was the
laughter of his own brother, whom he sup
posed to have died childless in Australia
several years ago. of course he declined
prosecuting her, and, as he is wealthy and
without near kin, he at once arranged to
take her home with him on his return from
the West, whittier he was en- route The
other day, he with his newly adopted child,
so strangely brought to him, departed for
New York, whence they will soon sail foz
England.

A Petty Prince.
England,

Poor "Sharkey" is dead. True, he was
only bootblack; yet he filled his niche in
the world with exceeding honor. The whole
gamin tribe respected him, for he was the
benefactor of all boys poorer and smaller
than himself. He was called in to settle
their disputes, and his decision was law. If
a little fellow was unlucky and had not
enough money to pay his way into the pit Or
gallery when he wanted badly to go, Sharkey
helped him to that extent. He was always
willing to divide his cash with any of his fel-
lows who were unfortunate enough to want
bread. Thus he built up bright reputation,
and won the deep respect of all his associ-
ates. 1t was with surprise that they missed
him from his accustomed corner one day.
1t was with deep sorrow they heard that he
was very i'll. Sharkey lived with his aunt,
and the little bootblaeks washed their hands
and faces and went by twos and threes to
see him, and were admitted to his bedside
The boy was really dying. Lie whispered a
word or two to each, and they went out OF
the house to give the newcomers place in
the small room beside the little bed. They
all noiselessly came and went, but still lin
gered on the steps and about the pavement
in front of the house. Presently one Of the
boys brought out the word that he was dead.
And still they fingered with swollen eyes
and quivering lips, and refused to be COM
forted. The passers-by inquired the cause
and learned that bootblack had died. No
member of the Exchange, dying, could have
wrung so many honest tears from his friends
as honored the memory of poor little Sharkey
And 80 everywhere in this wide world does
true merit meet with just appreciation.

Irish Ladies.

Physically, Irish women, says . recent
writer, are probably the finest race in the
world mean taller, letter limbed and
chested, larger eyed, and with more luxu-
tiant hair and freer action, than any other
nation have observed. The Phenician
and Spanish blood, which has run hundreds
of years in their veins, still kindles its dark
fire in their eyes, and with the vivaeity Of
the northern mind, and the bright color of
the northern skin, these southern qualities
mingle in most admirable and superb har-
mony.
The idea we form of Italian and Grecian
beauty is never realized in Greece and Italy;
but we find it in Ireland, heightened and
exceeded. Cheeks and lips of the delicacy
anG bright tints of carnation, with snowy
teeth and eyebrows of jet, are what we
should look for on the palette of Apelles,
could We recall the painter and reanimate
his far-famed models; and these varied
charms, united fall very commonly to the
share of the fair Milesian. Modest to q
proyerb, the Irishwoman is as unsuspecting
of an improperly as if it were an impossible
thing; and she is as fearless and joyous as a
nidshipman, and sometimes as noisy. In a
ballroom she looks addressed, not because
her dress was i'll put on, but because she
dances, not glides, sits down without care,
pulls her flowers to pieces, and if her head
dress incommodes her she gives it pull or
push. If she is offended she asks for an
explanation. If she does not understand
you she confesses her ignorance. If she
wishes to see you next day, she tells you
how and when. She is the child of nature,
and children are not "stylish."

An Advantage of Cremation.

just imagine Jones sitting by the cremat-
ing cylinder, reading the New York Ledger,
while his two hundred-and-f fifty pound
nother-in-law is seething and crisping with
in. Most happy thought! Jones, the man
who had been told thousand times, by
this self-same mother.in-law, that she wished
from the bottom Of her heart that her
daughter had never seen his face; she could
have done so much better. Jones, the long
suffering one, who had time and again given
up housekeeping and gone to boarding in
one room for the express purpose of getting
rid of her who lay steaming and fuming in
the iron easement at his side. Think Of it !!
Wha sublime ccstasy-what supreme joy,
must have rarished and filed his soul!

FROM time to time during the past
few years it has been reported that some
of the leading Israelites of Great Britain
had project ON foot for the purchase of
Palestine. The prime movers in the
enterprise were the Rothschilds and Mon
teiores, leading London bankers, and
men abundantly able, financially, to
carry through such scheme. 1t is now
stated that definite bargain has been
made, and that entire confidence is felt
in the success of the undertaking. An
association for the purpose of making the
purchase and effecting national organi-
zation has been formed. Its Secretary
who, by the way, is reported to be a
Christian in creed, says that "the Jews
of the whole world seem to be in sym.
pathy with the plan, and will do their
utmost, individually and collectively, to
further it." The country is not very
extensive one, being only one hundred
and forty-fve miles long and averaging
about forty-fve miles in width, and it,
physical features and agricultural re.
sources do not render it very attractive

Philistia, which is one vast grain field
The extraordinary fertility of which has
produced the same succession of crops

A COMMON PHRASE.

The old saying, "Letting the cat out Of
the bag" has thievish ancestry. 'It was
formerly trick among country folk to
substitute cat for sucking pig, aud
bring 1t in a bag to market. If any green
horn chose to buy a pig in poke-that is,
blind bargain without examining the con-
tents of the bag-all very well; but If he
opened the sack, he let the cat out of the
Bag and the trick was discovered" and
so the phrase passed inte common use
As applying to any one who lot out a
Lscret.
