Comfort for Old Maids.

Old maids are useful. They can
cook, sew and take care of the children,
nurse sick people, and generally play the
piano. Old bachelors are useless. They
do not even know how to drive nails or
split wood.
Old maids arc amiabc Ii one
wants anything done that requires pa
thence ana kindness Of heart, single
lady is sure to be the one to do it.
Old bachelors are il-natured. They
snub children, despisc babies, and hate
young mothers, and are always so busily
employed in seeing that other people
take good care of them that they have
not moment to give to anyone else.
Old maids are nice looking, and
"young for their years" Old bachelors
generally have red noses, rheumatism in
their knees, bald heads, and mouths that
turn down at the corners.
Old maids can make home of one
little room, and they cook delicious
meals for one over the gas jet, in cum
ming little tin kettles, besides making all
their own wardrobes. Old bachelors
need an army OF tailors, walters, cooks,
distant relatives, and hotel landlords, to
keep them comfortable When old
maids are i'll they tie up their heads in
pocket handkerchiefs, take homeopathic
pellets out Of two bottles, alternately,
and get well again. When old bachel
ors are i'll they 90 to bed and send for
four doctors have a consultation ; y
mantlepiece full of black bottles all the
amiable married men who belong to the
club to sit up with them at night, be
sides hired nurse they telegraph to
their relations and do their best to i'm
press the world that they are dying.
When an old maid travels she takes
sandwich, piece Of. pound cake, a bot
tie of lemonade in a handbasket, and
lunches comfortably in the carriage.
When an old bachelor travels he orders
dinner in courses at the station, and
raves because he has not time to eat it
before the 'tifteen minutes for refresh
ments" are over
Old maids drink weak tea and it cures
their headaches
Old bachelors drink strong liquor and
it gives them headaches.
Old maids are modest They think
their youth is over and their beauty
gone. If, after a while, some autumnal
love is given them they take it as q sort
of a miracle, and hope people will not
laugh at them for marrying so late in
life. FIX.

TO MY OLD COAT.

Though hardly worth one paltry groat
Thou TT dear to me, my poor old coat
For full ten years my friend theu'st been
For ten years I've brushed thee clean,
And now, like me, thou'rt old and wan,
With both the youth of SLOW is gone
But, worn shabby as thou art,
Thou and the poe. shall not part,
Poor coat.
I've not forgotten the birthday eve,
When first 5onned thy glossy sleeve,
When jovial friends, in mantling wine,
Drank 10Y and health to me and mine.
Our indulgence let some despise;
We'er dear rs ever il thy eyes;
And for their sakes, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet sAall not part,
Poor coat.
One evening l remember yet,
l, rompinp, feigned to fly Lisette;
She strove her lover to retain.
And thy frail skirt was rent in twain.
Dead girl, she did her best endeavor.
And patched thee up as well as ever;
And for her sweet sake. old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
Poor coat.
Never, my coat, hast thou been found
Bending thy shoulders to the ground,
From any upstart, Lord or "Grace"
To beg pension or place.
Wild forest towers-no monarch's dole
Adorn the modest button hole.
If but for that, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
Poor coat.
Poor though We be, my good old friend,
No gold shall bride our backs to bend:
Honest amid temptations past,
We will be honest to the last;
For more prize thy virtuous rags
Than all the lace courtier brags:
And while live and have heart,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
My coat.

The Old Chalk-Pit.

South DOWD. though charlnngiy sit
mated in one of the eastern counties of
England is not place of general resort.
Here and there a cottage or two may
be found, making a pleasant variety in
landscape rich in natures loneliness,
but as our narrative has only to do with
that part of South Down in the imme-
date vicinity Of the chalk-pits, we will
briefly introduce the reader to Adam
Rawlev and his wife, an old couple occu-
pying one of the little dwellings near to
this locality.
Adam spent most of his days in cart
ing away mud and rubbish from the
roadside, and at other times he would
work in the pits, earning enough to keep
himself and his wife in comfortable cir
cumstances.
These old people lived on from day to
day, from season to season. without
changing their mode OF life. They were
quiet and orderly, causing neither
trouble nor annoyance to their neigh
bors; but for all this they were no favor
ties.
The fact is, Deborah Rawley and her
husband lived only to please themselves
Possessed Of every comfort-for, be-
sides the bread-winncr's earnings, they
had little income of eight shi.iings a
week coming in regularly and, en-
crossed in their own concerns. they
never troubled themselves about being
neighboriv; thus much of the sunshine
of life was unknown to them, through
the unapproachableness of their own
characters.
They were certainly striking CON
trast to the rest of the inhabitants of
Lime Cottages. as the collection Of little
dwellings was called among whom
there was feeling of friendiness, and
many helpful deeds made life's day
brighter to many OF them.
But the Rawleys were strangers to
acts of kindness, and SO long as no mis-
fortune happened to themselves they
never thought of relieving the ills of

Old Saws.

The most boastful Yankee mot that
people,, in some of the rooms of the
British Museum, is obliged to confess
that the ancicnts originated great many
good notions which we modetns have
only improved upon. For instance, there
are few tools more ancient than the saw.
All the oncient nations appear to have
had it; certainly the Hindoos, the Egyp-
tians, the Greeks and the Romans. The
saw may have existed even before there
were any mon on the earth. There is
creature called the saw fly, with two
saws in its tail, which it actually uses
for saving the stems, leaves and fruits
wherein its eggs are to be deposited.
These is also sawtsh, the long snout
of which is saw. 1t is said also that
the originsl inhabitants of the Island of
Madeira found q ready.made saw in the
backbone of a fish. The Greeks had
pretty story attributing the invention of
TIE saw to the accidental finding of the
jaw-b bone of snake by one Talus, who
used it to cut through small piece Of
wood. Being slave, and finding that
this jaw-bone eased his labor, he made
a saw of iron, and thus gave mankind
a new and most valuable tool. The an
cient saw differed from ours in two
ways. The teeth We're so arranged that
the cut was made by pulling, instead Of
being set one to the right and one to tie

FIRE FIENDS In FRANCE.
Extraordinary Series Of Grimes in VII
lage Near Paris.
fLondon telegraph

The pretty village OF Auvers, In the canton
OF Pontoise, situated only short distance
from Paris. and containing some 1900 inhabi-
tants, Is just now possessed by yeritable
panic Every day new fire breaks out,
kindled by come mysterious hand, and up
ward Of forty houses have already fallen
prey to the flames. No sooner one fire is ex-
tinguished than the bells peal again, and the
other quarter. Do what they will, the au-
thorities are unable to quell this ecourge or
to detect the culprit An Invisible hand has
traced on the wall OF q house the terrible
words, Not roof will remain standing In
Auvers."
Suspicion has fallen upon an individual, q
native OF the country, who ten years ago wa85
condemned for incendiarism, and afterward
Without permission. This man was seen In
the neighborhood q few days before the first
fire broke out. Dlligent search has been
made after him but he cannot be found.
| is that, although Auvers is crammed with
gendarmes, the fires continue as before, and
| yesterday one began just as g. patrol Was
passing down the very street In which the
Clemence, was seen running out OF the garden
door and stopped. She is sixteen years OF age
and very pretty. Clemence WAS unable to-
explain to the Judge d'Instruetion why she
ed to the Pontoise prison. 1t Is thought that
she is In q position to make Important revela-s
| tions.
Curious to relate, the father Of Clemence,
seized with sudden fury, made g dash OF the
the latter net skillfully parted the blow, he
would have been killed. The mother, Ia fit
OF distraction. fell faintlng to the ground, and
WIS only revived after an hour had passed.
It is feared that che will go mad. The agita-
ton In the country continues, and there are
families which have left their houses, taking
with them their furniture and other belongs
