How He Got His Liquor.

! From the San Francisco Post.
Derrick bod tells the following
good story: 1t was sad-looking
tramp, with panied expression Of
face, that entered a Sutter-street bar
room the other day, holding in his
hand a small, battered canister.
''Look at this" he said, sorrowfully,
I went into n,,sssh,.eG.p , and begged,
man handed me this can of powder.
He said could 60 shooting A starv-
ing man go shooting! Just think Of
it,
"Well Mizzle" retorted the bar
keeper, who had just set up four
fancy drinks for row of customers
II pledge you my word,," said the
vagrant, holding the can i'll an inch
of the open stove, "I'm so miserable
I've good mind to blow myself up"
"Dare you to do it, said one OF
the by-standers, winking at the crowd.
The wretch partly gave sad, lin
gering look at the poured out liquor,
as that he might ne'er behold again,
and tossed IN the can.
The yell that the whole crowd
gave as they started for the opposite
side OF the street was heard on Tele-
graph hill. When they filed in, ten
minutes later, (the empty can did not
explode) there were four empty
glasses on the counter, the lunch ia
Bile was mockery, and the till looked

The Woman who Charms.
BY VICTOR HUGO.

There is in this world no function
more important than that of charm
ing. The forest glade would be in
complete without the humming bird.
To shed Joy around, to radiate hap
piness, to be the golden thread of
our destiny and the very spirit of
grace and harmony, is thus to render
a service. Does not beauty confer a
benefit upon US, even by the simple
fact of being beautiful ? Here and
there we meet one who possesses
that fairy-like power Of enchanting
all about her; sometimes she is igno-
rant herself of this magical influence,
which is, however, for that reason,
only the more perfect. Her presence
lights up the home like a cheering
warmth; passes by, and we are con-
tent; stays awhile, and we are happy.
To behold her is to live; she is the
Aurora with human face. She has
no need to do more than simply to
be: she makes an Eden OF the house :;
Paradise breathes from her; and she
communicates this delight to all with
out asking any greater trouble than
that of existing beside them. Is it

couragingly.
sNo-no,H stammered the drummer
out loud. "Contound that girl he
muttered under his breath.
The minister began to see that he
was not getting on, and noticing the
drummer's disturbed manner, re-
marked:
Something troubles you, my
friend. Can you not confde in me ?
Perhaps can relieve your doubts
and fears"
IL think l had better CO." the
drummer said, rising and vainly try
ing to guess which door he came in
at.
"Let us have season Of prayer to-
gether," and, suiting the action to the
word, he knelt down by the chair.
Not having decided which door he
came in at, and not daring to risk
meeting that "contounded girl" by
opening any other, the drummer had

himself prayed for.
AS soon as the prayer was ended
he again essayed to 60, but Mr.. c.
bethought himself of the girl" and
stepping to the dining.room door,
called:
"Wite, has Lettie gone"
"Oh, yes, she did not stay. Willie
went with her, and he's been gone
long enough to get back"
AT last the minister showed the dis
comitted drummer TO the door,
shook him warmly by the hand,
hoped to meet him in heaven, and
let him out into the tree air once
more.
AS he passed out Of the gate he
heard subdued giggle, saw two
figures dimly outlined against the
sky, and a boys voice remarked:
Il wonder if he converted him."
The "anxious inquirer" isn't anx-
ious to inquire after the innocent
young maidens of our town any
