The MEANEsT MAN.-Aimost
every city and town. lays claim to
the meanest man, but We believe
that the smallest specimen of. a
mean man resides in Newbury-
port, says the Herald Of that city.
A few days ago" he called" at
hardware store, and represented
that he was troubled with moase
in his pantry at home, at the
same time asking the clerk for the
loan of a mouse-trap to catch the
animal. The clerk replied that
was hardly the way business was
done at that establishment,Gbu in-'
formed the gentleman who was
being impoverished by the mouse
that a good trap could be pur..
chased for twenty cents. After
some pickering the bargainswas
concluded. A few days after
ward, however, in walked the
owner Of the trap with the informs,-
tion that he had been successful in
catching the mouse, aad that the
article would be ofuo further use'to
him. This was: followed bE a re
quest that the storekeeper take
back the trap and return him the
original price. This was rather a
stagger in the way Of cheek, but
the man behind the counter quiet
ly took out twenty cents, passed
it over to the N. NJ, and remarked
that be would refunu the money
and at the same time present him
with the trap. Gracefully thank
ing him the N. N. quietly pock-
eted the cash and trap, and walked
out with the satisfied air Of con-
scious rectitude.

said the doctor, plumply.
Mabel still hesitated and flushed
deeply.
ANY objection to your escort ?
oh, no!'
please tel! me, then
He got up, crossed over to Ma
bells chair, and sat down beside
her.
Don't be afraid to speak frank
ly to me, Miss Mabel he said,
gently.
'Very WE'LL said Mabel, still
blusbing. L know it is very silly
of me to care, but this is to be

had therefore decided not to CO.
PRECISELY said the doctor,
coolly. May l be allowed remark
or two?'
Yes, I suppose So
Then, L saw young lady last
Sunday. dressed in a hat with a
grey feather, a plain black silk
dress, and a linen duster. That
young lady was quite stylish
enough for me to be proud to
take her anywhere. want her to
90 with me next Thursday. Will
she do so?
She would be glad to 60. But
others might not be so kind in
their Judgment said Mabel.
THAT isn't an answer
Very well-I will 60 DR.. Grey
The young doctor bent down
and took Mabel's hand in strong,
warm clasp.
Thank you. But I'm not salts
fed, yet. Miss Benson-Nabel,
if you accept me for your escort
on Thusday, I shall understand
that you also accept me for your
escort through life. Now, Mabel h
will you CO.
Mabel hesitated one minute,
then, lifting her eyes frankly to
his face, she said, softly:
I think l will
Half an hour later, as they
were sitting side by side, she said
4 shouldn't mind the old black
silk dress, if I only had a new
bonnet
when you belong to me you
shall have a new bonnet every
week if you want it, said the
Doctor, but just now l had ra-
ther see your pretty head crown
ed with that little grey concern
than the finest hat a milliner ever
got up. Why Mabel, that little
bonnet brought me to you ...
And when Mabel looked up in
wonder, he told her all about the
night of the lecture.
But Mabel did not care now for
all Miss Alfreda's spiteful fings:
for the whole world could offer
her nothing better or sweeter than
the offering just laid at her feet.
Miss Alfredo was furious On
Thursday when Doctor Grey step
ped on board tho excursion steam
er with Mabel Benson on his arm,
and she read, or guessed the truth
from their happy faces.
But if she had known 1t vas her
own work she would have been
much more so.

SsIsetsh s Story. s
THE DOCTORS CHOICE.

Inc cream OF GaitCn society
was congregated in the Town
Hall, waiting for the lecture.
Conspicuous in the crowd sat
Miss Alfredo Morton, smiling and
happy; for was not her new silk
dress the envy Of the town, and
her hat imported direct from Pa
ris, and was not her escort for the
evening young DR.. Grey, the best
'catch' in Galton, a rising man in
his profession, with some fortune
besides
And then it was so seldom that
DR.. Grey honored any young lady
with his attentions, that handsome
Miss Alfredo felt especially honor
ed.
She smiled complacently upon
her less fortunate sisters, chatted
gaily with the doctor, displayed
her pretty, ripged hands, and
made herself the centre of attrac-
tion till Mabel Benson and her
father came in and took seats in
front Of them.
Now Miss Alfredo had o piece
of spite in her nature, and made
some pretensions as musician,
while Mabel Benson was undou bt-
edly q better musician.
The young lady never allowed
an occasion to show her petty
jealousy to pass,and one was ready
for her now.
She turned to her intimate
friend, Efie Barr, who sat directly
behind, and said:
Just look at Mabel Benson's
bonnet! Its every bit made up
out Of old pieces. It's her own
work, I know
1t looks nice, though, Alfredo,
said Eme.
sCh, it looks we'll enough, but
the idea Of wearing such thing
in good society! She had those
flowers on her last summers hat,
and that tipis off her winter hat,
and that pearl ribbon is the same
she had on her light silk DRESS
I think it is. But you know
the Bensons are not rich, and
Mabel has to save oil she can,
said EHe, who was kindhearred.
Let her save in some other
way, then! Why don't you think
she actually gave twenty-five dol
lars to the pastors library!'
She did?'
Yes! Brother Jacks one of the
committee, you know, and be told
me. They pay her twenty-five
dollars a quarter for playing the
organ, and she gave her last quar-
ter's salary for the library. She
might have bought a decent hat
with it!
Did you give anything to the
library p asked Efie.
No, indeed l told him if they
would get a new Brussels carpet
for his study, l would give them
ten dollars, but to buy nasty old
books, never! Look at her over
skirt! As sure as l live, that's
her old popIin, turned! | declare,
if j could not have one decent
dress, I would not pretend TO 60
into good society at ALL
'But, Alfredo, l know she bought
her little brother new suit with
her own money only last week
It's good in her you must allow,
to spend her means for the rest.
Bother! | dare say she only
does it to get praise for her good

WAIT A WHILE.
Wait while,
Cheerily smile.
Soon the storm will be over,
There's bit of blue
In the sky for you.
There's sweetness yet in the clover.
Trust and wait,
Though burdens great,
Hard on the heart are pressing,
For hand Of love
Will the cross remove,
And leave in its stead blessing.
Meath the snow
No roses blow,
And there no bees are hummiug;
But they gather sweets
In their dark retreats
To brighten the days that are coming.
Dark and drear
The skies appear,
When the cloudy days declining,
But the night must fall
And cover all,
Ere the sun renews its shining.

SPRING MILLINERY. .

SPElNE
Shapes 10 new Spring bonnets are
so different that every one can have
something to suit. The poke bonnet,
also called the Sara Bernhardt, has
the brim pinched at the back, while
the front brim is turned up against
the crown. Then we may see the
Marie Christine, which shows the
front brim cut open, and this also is
to be turned back against the crown.
Other hats come with soft, wide
brims, and these are turned up, down,
backwards, forwards, or any other
way, just as the Milliner may fancy.
The "Cashmere," or Oriental ideas as
to coloring and pattern, which | al
luded to in my last letter as about TO
penetrate everywhere, are notably
manifest in straws, which We see dyed
in al sorts of shawl like colors and
designs. During the winter, we had
"Cashmere" silks and ribbons, but
now we find rich ribbons and silks in
plain colors, both dark aud light, and
these will be used as shadings to re-
lieve what would otherwise be a pic
ture all too bright Furthermore, as
the gold shades are extremely promi-
nent in Spring goods Of every kind,
we observe heavy irnportations of Tus-
can and other yellow straWs. They
are at all prices and degrees of fine
ness, while chips are constantly dyed
in old gold colors. Then We have
straws in braids of alternating colors.
There is great run upon this latter
style; some being dark, others light
others dark and light combined, while
again We see straw bonnets entirely
red, blue, or garnet, for the different
garnet shades will continue ver7 fash
ionable. More expensive bopnets are
made of lace.like braidiugs; transpa-
rent of course, and needing to be
lined, or again the bonnet is composed
of these straw laces united with some
thing heavier. Small turbans for gen.
eral wear, are largely brought out and
probably will be much worn by those
young ladies who have adopted the
same shape this winter. Flowers are
in wonderful profusion and beauty.
They are both large and small, placed
in pronounced bouquets or in trailing
and fairy like vines and sprays; the
latter styles being especially approprl-
ate for those rough, carelessly shaped
hats which will be seen at watering
places. Variety is furthermore given
by the introduction of feather bands
and fancy wings, which will be used
for seryicesble hats and bonnets.
Many are dyed in Cashmere hues, but
again we observe bright bands Of nat
ural feathers, as we'll also as breasts
and heads of birds. Birds likewise
will be employed, but of course not
extensively.

SPRING MATERIALS.

New Monrie cloths are covered with
palm leaves and other Eastern fancles !;
the same may be said Of new lawns,
iaconets and indeed the whole family
of cotton goods, both Of high and low
degree. But invariably We find plain
lawns, etc., to match, and this Of course
is broad enough hint that plain
goods must be combined in order to
give effect Of shading. Light Woolen
goods are likewise devised in CASH
mere patterns summer silks are beau
tiful in their shawl like semblances !;
new satins are similarly wrought !;
new velvets as well. and thus it be-
comes apparent that these Oriental
ideas extend throughout the entire
range of dress. But it must be re-
membe that extra styllsnness orlngs
corresponding expense, and therefore
all these new goods are considerably
higher priced than those which have
been longer in the market, are less
pronounced in character. Belonging
to the former class, the jardiniere, or
floral pattern may be mentioned, they
however being still looked upon as
quite fashionable, while in the latter
category, We find the family Of small
checks, stripes, etc., which are always
in vogue.
