SsIstten Story.
Twenty Years Difference
BY JUDGE CLARK.

What a splendid figure ex-
claimed Wyley Stote, bringing
himself and the friend whose arm
he held to a dead halt in their
stroll along the beach.
And what magnificent air and
carriager be added why won't
she turn her face this way y?'
Following the direction Of Wy
ley's look, his friend, Dick Bowles,
found no difficulty in discovering
the object Of this impromptu ad-
miration. It was tall aud rather
stately lady, lending her aid, at
the moment, to quite elderly
gentleman, as the two ascended a
flight Of steps leading from the
beach to one of the watering place
hotels.
'I''l tell you what said Dick
and there was a twinkle of mis-
chief in bis eye-'he'll be a lucky
fellow who makes an impression
in that quarter ?
DO YOU know her?'
Know Priscilla Helvin !-why,
she's O. distant relative of mine,
with ever so many thousands in
possession, and ever so many
more in prospect in the death OF
her father there
Wyley Stote was a man at once
susceptible and tickle. lie had
been many times in love and se7-
eral times engaged, and was, at
present, under sort of fast and
loose engagement with Flora
Sabin, who was young and pretty,
but not rich ; and Wyley could be
have had his way, would have
preferred in wife the combined
attractions of wealth and beauty.
The walk was not prolonged.
Wylcy withdrew to his chamber
for meditation. and devoted sew
eral hours to that exercise. He
was very fond of Flora Sabln, but
she had neither money nor ex-
pectations-none, at least that
he knew of. He had offered her
his hand and she had partly &C.
cepted it; but a reasonable wo-
man, according to his philosophy,
couldn't expect man to sacrifice
too much for the sake OF a mere
promise; and here was brilliant
match, not beyond his reach with
his friend Dicks assistance. True,
he hadn't seen Miss Helvln's face.
That might spoil all ; for not even
| wealth should ever tempt him to
marry an ugly woman.
The result Of his cogltatlons

AN OLD HENS LAST LAY"

AN Old HENS LAST "LAY.''
Once man Of great invention
Made nest for hens to lay in,
With mean deceitfui bottom,
That would slide and let the egg out
Falling through small aperture
Then would slide and close the hole up;
And he sold it to the owner
Ofa hen, the boss producer
Of most delicate ''hen fruitage."
Now the hen was mighty gritty,
And she spread herself to do it,
So she laid an egg enormous;
Then arose in great elation,
With her feathers all a-futter,
And her body all s-cackle,
And she said, cas- sure as shooting,
have laid an egg exceeding
My most sauguine cackleations,
Far beyond my eggspectatiop.
X 4 u Il y = y y
Where's that egg? May stars and garters
In the name of all Ewes daughters
Can I not believe my senses?
Surely have not gone crazy!
Well, if this don't beat the dicken,
May never hatch chicken
Long she poadered DER the matter,
O'er this strange hallucination,
Ger this most complete deception;
Then she squared down to business,
And she laid another avis,
Though Of course it was a-missing,
Though she scratched around the litter.
In her efforts to eSpy it.
But why make the story longer2
Thus in fatal repetition,
Of this eggy operation,
Passed the day until the evening,
When the owner came to find her,
Found her naught except her wattles,
Half her bill and some pin feathers,
While within the box beneath them,
Where that fooling slide had dropped them
Found he eggs half-a-bushel.
Gone, heroic Henawatba!
Died she in the nest Of duty,
Victim Of mans vile deception.
Surely she must have intermens
With that nest as her sepulchre,
For she layed herself within it.

JOB PREV'TE.S'G
SHE CURED HIM.

There is d man up in the
Seventh ward that hasn't spoken
to his wife in over O week. He is
so mad that he will not 60 home
to his meals, and the other DAY
his wife went to his Office to get
s6 to pay for some shoes, and he
told the clerk to pay herzof and
let her 60. He CRATES his teeth
when he goes home nights. and
comes out, Of the house every
morning swearing: She came o
joke On him, that was all. He
has for years been telling her that
be was sure he had got heart dis
ease, aud that he should go off
suddenly some time in the night.
She had got sick of such talk,
after hearing it thirteen years,
when she knew he was as healthy
as a yearling. Why. he didn't
even know where his heart was,
and couldn't. point out the loca-
ton Of any particular portion Of
his internal improvements. But
he kept talking about death every
little while, and z she said she
would break up that little2game
as soon as she could think of any
way to do SO. 4 spell ago She
bought one Of these India.rubber
water-bags, for keeping hot Wa
ter at the feet, instead OF using
bottles. It. would hold about three
quarts, and her husband, didn't
know anything about it,. One
night, after she had the water
Dag to her feet a couple of hours,
until they were. about as warm as
piece Of zinc, and her husband
was snoring away by note, she
thought what = good joke lit
would be to put ittcn his stomach
and wake him up. She burst
right out laughing, at midnight,
thinking Of it. So she took up
the rnbber bag of hot watsr,and
placed it on his stomach. The
bag was about as big as a cows
liver, aud as warm as a piece Of
shingle on d boy 1t hadn't been
on his chest and other baggage
over two minutes before be slow
ly opened his eyes. She stuffed
the upper works of her night
gown in her mouth to keep from
laughing. He raised up his head,
and said: .'- - ..7-'.-.,
Harriet, my end has come
Which end, Josiah p said she,
as she rolled over, your head Or
your feet p And then she put a
pillow in her mouth, and reached
over to him and unscreWed the
nozzle that holds the water in
the bag. - 4r-.#a 90"
4 au dying, Egypt, dying
said he, My heart is enlarged to
three times it's natural size, and
oh, | am bleeding to DEATH She
had opened the nozzle, and three
quarts Of hot water was pouring
over him, saturating him from
head to heels. She had not meant
to let out more than half a pint Of
water on BIN, but when 1t got TO
flowing she couldn't stop it, so
she got out of bed and told him to
save himself. He attempted to
stop the flow Of blood, and she
struck a light and asked him if
his life-preserver had not sprung
leak, and then he looked at the
rubber bag, and went and run
himself through a clothes-wringer
and he slept on the lounge the
rest of the night, and he says his
wife is the meanest woman that
ever drawed the breath of life.
She tells her friends that Josiah
has been miraculously cured of
heart disease.-MikaOaukee Sun. 3

LIVES RUINED BY OBST8-
MACY.

1t was just seven years ago Inat
an extraordinary scene occurred at
Danbury. 1t was in the evening,
and a couple were bringing in
several pots of plants from the
ward to save them from the frost
which the temperature Of out
doors threatened. While thus en-
gagged she spoke, referring to a
geranium she had in her hand:
Il wouldn't lose this one for g
great deal, as mother gave it to
me-
He looked at it.
Your mother gave tito you ?
Guess not; | bought that plant
myself ......
why, it's TO such thing
4 tell you l did, he added,
speaking with warmth.
And l tell you you didn't she
assevcrated. Do you suppose l
don't know what was given to
me?'
Don't you suppose don't know
what l bought with: my own
money! ....
IF you say you bought that
geranium,' she said, speaking very
slowly and with white lips, you
say what you know to be false
DO you mean to say that [ lie?'
he hissed.
If you say that, I do
You shall be sorry for this he
threatened.
Never she retorted.
He put on his hat and coat and
left the house.
That was seven years ago, She
never saw him again or heard
from him in all that seven years.
What must have been the
thoughts, the agony of mind en-
dured by that wretched wife IN
that time no one on earth knows.
She kept her thoughts TO herself,
and patiently as far as outward
appearance went, bore the burden
put upon her.
Recently her door opened and a
man walked into her presence.
There was a look, cry, and she
was in the arms of her husband.
What happy home was that.
All the agony Of seven lcoy years
was forgotten in that hour of re-
cancellation and reunion. 4 hap
py supper was spread, and with
tears and smiles she lowered about
him, ministering to his every
want. After supper there was q
long talk Of the past.
1T is so singular,' she said,
speaking in one Of her pauses'
that it should have happened as
it did. lean scarcely comprehend
it all. It seems like an awful
dream. We both lost our tenn
pers, and we both have suffered
for it. The miserable geranium :?
Do you know | can't bear to see
one of those plants? l told mo-
ther to come and take it back, for
| would not have 1t in sight
'Whatr he calculated, do you
still persist in saying that she
gave it to you?'
why, John, Of course she Gid.
Haven't you got over that idea
yet ?
No, 1 haven't he persisted, his
face darkenipg. I bought that
geranium as sure as I am living
man.
She thought of his years Of cruel
desertion, of all he had caused her
to suffer because Of his obstinacy,
and her heart hardened, and her
face flushed.
You are mean to say that, when
you know it is false
1T isn't false. It's heavens
truth
Its no such thing; it's q
mean, contemplate lie.'
He jumped up from the chair,
seized his hat and coat and shot
out of the house like fash, and
she never uttered a word in pro-
test. She sat there with clinched
hands and white face, and let him
60.
And so he is gone. And today
she is alone with the old burden
and the old pain.
