An Alderman's Great Sorrow.

THERE is an Alderman in Detroit who
knows bale of hay when he sees it as
well as any man living. He was pass
ing up Michigan avenue the other day,
when he came across a small group OF
friends. They had perhaps been wait.

that way about that hour. THEY were
standing near bale of hay marked
"21O pounds" and beside the bale
stood q flat-chested. slim. wasted, con-

mers, who kept splitting on his hands
and saying he would shoulder the bale
or die in the attempt.
"rve bet ten dollars that he can't"
remarked one of the group to the Alder
man, as he came to halt.
"Why, he must be foolr' replied
the official, as he looked from the man
to the hay.
II can't, eh?" queried the consump-
tive. "You dasn't put up $40 that /
can't shoulder this ere hay and carry it
across the street and back"
Nothing but chain-lightning could
have beat the movements of that Alder
man in pulling out an "X'' and placing
it in the hands of stakeholder. When
all was ready the consumptive spit on
his hands, shouldered the bale and took
his walk. The end of the Alderman's
tongue was in sight, and his eyes could
have been stepped on as the dying
youth returned to the curb, dropped the
bale and took the money.
''Lemme see that hayr' whispered
the official, as consciousness finally re-
turned.
He walked up to the bale. gave it
heave. and it went rolling over. Then
he picked it up and hefted it. got red
clear back to the collar-button, and
walked off without . word. The con-
sumptive was only half day fixing up
the sham bale with sticks and papers
and little hay. and $40 is good pay for

OLD BILLINGS.

No ONE called him anything else; not
Mr.. nor 10, though that was his name,
nor anything but Just old Billings.
And yet he was not so very old. No
older than Squire Erskine or Parson
Dale, whom no one would have thought
OF calling Old Erskine or Old Dale.
What was it, then, that made the differ
ence?
Perhaps it was partly that these lat
ter gentlemen wore fine broadcloth and
immaculate linen, while the hero of this
sketch wore trowsers of tow bagging,
and no linen to speak of; but still more,
doubtless, it was because of that indie

who has no fixed relations to society,
and cannot give satisfactory account
of himself.

way through the crowd of loungers in
Mr.. Barnabee' store, and asked for cod
fish and crackers. Mr.. Barnabee looked
at him sharply, not to say supercilious-
", and said:
You can pay, l suppose?'
For answer, the strange man threw a
haf-dollar on the counter. Mr.. Barna-
bee tossed it up once or twice, and find
ing it rang like genuine coin, furnished
him the desired articles, remarking that
it was a pleasant day.

sun shines, but suppose it never rained;
what then? All days are alike to the
wise" And with this singular answer.

went out, Notwithstanding there were
those who would fain have detained him
with questions.
On the common were some boys play
