TribulatiOns of a Landlord.

While it is to be supposed that the
man with house to rent is anxious
to secure all the rent he can, there
are some offsets which never leak out,
and people have come to regard the
majority of landlords as Shylocks.
Mr.. Blank, OF the northern part of
the city, had house TO rent. That
is, after he had laid out S400 in re-
pairs, he called it house, but the
very first woman who came for the
key handed it back with the remark :.
II am not obliged to live in either
stable or a pig-pen."
The second woman started to look
through the house, but she got no
further than the hall. She said she
had never lived in house with hall
less than seven feet wide, and she was
not going to begin this late. The third
customer was a man, and he wanted
two partitions knocked out and three
doors to swing the other way. The
fourth was boy, sent by his mother
to see if certain bedroom carpet
in the house they then occupied would
! fit certain bedroom in this house,
1t wouldn't, and as the owner refus
ed to squeeze the walls together the
boy broke off all further diplomatic
relations.
The next inquirer was woman
whose son was about to be married
and as she was to live with the new
family she wanted to be sure about
the convenience of the house. Sht
didn't want much done to the house
All she wanted was the rent cut dowr
ne-half, the roof raised another sto'
ry, the yard increased to hundred
feet front, and few tribes in the way
of bay-windows, frescoing, etc.
The last call was yesterday. The
owner went over in company with 6
young man who earns seven dollars
per week and is to be married soon
The house just suited him. He
wouldn't have single thing changed
He had peen looking for just such 6
house for two years, and lie wondered
why all houses were not built JUS
| like it. When the owner mentioned
rent in advance the young man grew
sad and replied:
"Sir, if my word is not good
enough for months rent, we must
part-farewelli"

Some lawyers take very practical
view of cases in which they are re-
tanned. In certain town in Mis-
souri, Squire c. was defending q
charge of malpractice. A colored
man was suing for damages, his wife
having died shortly after an operation
for the removal of q cancer. When
it became Squire G-'s turn to
cross examine the plaintiff, he ask
ed:
.sMr. Wilson, how old was your
wife when she died?"
about 40, SIR
"Been In feeble health long time,
bad see not, and cost you q great
deal for medicine. and help?"
"Yes, sir.''
"You have married again, have you
not?"
"Yes, SIR
s.How old is your present wifeP'
"About IS, sir"
sis she stout and healthy, Mr.
Wilson ?"
"Yes, SIR"
s'Then. Mr.. Wilson, will you please
state to the jury how much you were
damaged in this case?"
Mr.. Wilson had evidently never
taken this view of the matter, and
could make no answer. The good
and true men thought he had made
rather q good thing by his bereave-
ment, and brought in . verdict for
the defendant.

ed on, not caring where he went, and
soon found himself in a small grove
Of trees and bushes, thickly covered
in places by climbing vines. In one
Of these places he sat down on rustic
seat to think. He now remembered
that this was one Of Bessie's favorite
retreats, it being on her fathers
place. He had not been there long
when he heard voices, and, mot wishing
to be observed, he drew back out of

voices they were. The speakers
came up close to where lie was, and
he heard Warren Mann says:

Mann.
And as Bessie made no answer, he
turned and left the grows Bessie sat
still after he was gone, and Tom WAS
near enough to see that she was un-
happy. While he watched her lie
saw tears roll down her cheeks, and
he heard her murmur something in
| which his own name was mentioned.
He crept nearer, and she was saying
"Oh, Tom: Come back-I love
you'll"
Tom could control himself no long
er, and going nearer he called, softly
''Bessie! -
She sprang to her feet at the sound
Of the voice of one she loved 80 we'll,
and Tom clasped her to his breast
and kissed her passionately.
