open his mouth when they are alone.
IT is New York idea that girl who
is bridesmaid three times in one season
is very likely to depart from this life an
old maid. But then, how many girls
act as bridesmaid three TIMES in one sea-
son? Don't be alarmed, girls.
A PoETEss in the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin says: II ask no gems OF him 1 love. u
Step right up this way, dear; top floor,

girl we've been in search Of ever since
we could afford to get married.

A LADY proprietor of a boarding.
house not q hundred miles away from
Boston is afflicted with q nature too deli
cately strung for this world. She in
variably speaks of her boarders az her
''remunerative guests" This is almost
as good as Mr.. Micawber's 'stipendiary
emoluments.
NOTHING shocks woman worse than
to have to answer the front door bell
with her hair eli down. If she carries
her switch in her hand it's dead square

A CLEVELAND dentist says: "Women
are constitutionally better able to en-.
dure pain than men. Men are always in
a hurry, dislike the restraint ard are
nervous. Fuss? I shonld say so, and
the bigger and stronger the man, the
louder he 'hollers.' Children are the
hardest patients, women the most MI.
merous, and the business Is improving all
the time"

Miss AMATEUR took part in some
private theatricals and was cast to the

The New York Mail raises the query:
fought the clergyman to kiss the
bride?" We should say that it depends
a good deal on the sweetness OF the
BRIDES lips: the youngness OF her years
and the good nature or muscularity of
the bridegroom. This opinion is from
lay standpoint, but were we a clergy
man and the bride kissable, she should
be kissed, even if knocklown from the
bridegroom was sure to follow. Just
because man is minister, he isn't 60.

SOCIETY in New York has invented a
simple and touching amusement. It
requires neither brains nor much exer-
ton, and is therefore very popular.
This mud excitement is nothing more
nor less than top-spinning, which, with
the assistance OF the so.called weaa er
sex, served so show the skill of the par

RECENTLY the Rev. Mr.. Talmage
walked into the "whisperers" and scan
DIAL nongers in this vigorous fashion,:
Gas for these gadabouts, tale bearers,
scandal-mongers, whisperers and ever
lasting snoops, hate them with vei,e-
mency, and ask God to give me in
tensity with which to hate them. I
think among the worst of the whisper
ers are those who gather up all the ma
licious things that have been said about
you, and bring them to you without any
OF the extenuatiDg circumstances. After
they have made your feelings all raw,
they will take this brine and turpentinc

towel till it sinks to the bone. They
make you pin cushion in which to
thrust all the sharp things they nave.
