hard to tell the imp from the cherub.
But hard surely natures. We must

How He Named the Baby.
gives ID DO It.

In the city of Portland, Me-, one
of the leading auction and commits
sion houses employs porter who re-
joices in the name Of Tim Ryan.
Tim had been noticed for some time
to be rather Indifferent to his duties
and on being questioned as to the
occasion of his negligence, replied;
"To tell the truth, sir, I've had a
little boy born till me; and I want
to name him after both of yees, but
l don't entirely get the sinse of the
names"
The dilemma in which the porter
was placed was apparent /; and the
members of the firm endeavored to
devise a suitable cognomen for the
kidding. Tim continued dissatisfied,
however, Notwithstanding the most
ingenious splicings of titles. At
length, one morning he was observed
to be unusually active in explana-
ton of which phenomenon he told
his employers:
"NTe boy was christened last night,
sir"
But" said the senior, "you must
have had a name for him."
q did, sir"
"How did you get over that diff
Guilty you had about it what did you
call your boy?'
With a perfect radiant confidence,
Tim answered: edward NJ. Patten
& Co. Ryan, sir?"
1t is needless to add that the firm
"came down" in behalf of that little
namesake, in style worthy OF their
reputation for generosity.

A Noble Reverge-- Evil not the

The coffin was a plain one-a poor
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on
the top; no lining Of white satin from
the pale brow no smooth ribbons
about the coarse saroud. The brown
hair was laid deceatly back, but there
was no primped cap with tie beneath
the chin. The sufferer of cruel pow
erty smiled in her sleep; she had
found bread, rest and health.

a poor little child, as the undertaken

"Only let me see one minutel" cried
the helpless orphan, clutching the side
Of the charity box, as he gazed upon
the coffin, agonized tears streaming
down the cheeks on which no childish
bloom ever fingered. Oh ! it was
painful to hear him cry the words,
"Only once; Let me see mother, only
once!"
Quickly and brutally the heartless
monster struck thgboy away, so that
he reeled with the blow. For a mo-

Madame Ste. Hilaire's Necklace


The wife of the great French
naturalist, NJ. Geofiroy Ste. Hilaire,
once lost handsome diamond neck
lace, and the house was in an uproar
in consequence of the vanished bau-
Bile. Incidentally the naturalist
mentioned that a favorite baboon,
which he kept upstairs, had been
playing for some days past with a
necklace precisely similar to the one
described. He was Indignantly
asked why he had not taken the
necklace from the animal, Il thought
that it belonged to him." calmly

aire. The naturalist had lived SO
long with animals, he had become SO
thoroughly absorbed in their habits
and idiosyncrasies, that he could see
no kind of incongruity in monkey
possessing a diamond necklace. Thus
Fransham, the Norwich polytheisf,
when somebody left him legacy to

the money. 1t was notorious that he
could not ride, and he was asked
what he wanted horse for. "To

He next with due circunspection
and Scotch deliberation, possessed
himself of the kiss, when, with Il sound
ing smack, he exclaimed, "Eh! wo-
man, but it was good Let us re-
turn thanks /"
That prince Of good fellows, John
G. SAKE, has added this to the kiss
ing literature:
Give me kisses-all is waste
Save the luxury of the taste.
And for distinguishes live
Only when we take and give.
Kiss me, then,
Every moment and again"
There are poetic kisses and Pla-
tonic kisscs-such as the beautiful
Madame Recamier gave to Chateau
BRAND; there are historic kisses
such as these recorded in the book Of
Genesis; spiritual kisses-such as
Solomon tells us about and treacher-
Gus kisses, that betray.
And the jest seldom slips
But ii strikes tender chord
And Il kiss was on the lips
OF the wretch that sold his Lord.
What is thesweetest kiss in the world?
Who can tell? Passion puts a sting
into its kisses-love is selfsh-duty
cold. The kisses Of friendship are
mere compliments. The kiss Of re-
Cancellation between those who truly
love should be the sweetest of all
kisses. THERE'S kiss that is the EN-
bodiment of purity, innocence, and
tender, trustful love. 1t is a futter-
ing, clinging, rosebud kiss, that leaves
a memory as pure and loving as it,
self; it is the baby's kiss.
"Nlistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does the baby grow?
Collie spells, and ears like shells,
And kisses from top to toe"
1t is upon the baby's kisses that
the heart of the mother lives. Oh, the
little ones that have been laid away
baptized with tears and kisses ! the
kisses that were given not back again
and yet which were so dear--so
dear.
"Dear, as remembered kisses after
death" says Tennyson.
There is a pretty legend that
Christ had a dimple in his chin, laid
there by an angels kiss and whoever
he kissed would surely receive that
dimple, so the German says Of one
who has dimpled chin, "She is
Christ-kissed.
The kiss Of respect is given upon
the forehead, that of admiration upon
the eyes that of beauty upon the
cheeks. The kiss of love is given
Upon the lips.

Stories of the Flood.
HUMOROUS OCCURRENCES IN THE
SUBMERGED STREETS OF GIN
CINNATI.

On this portion of Front street the
houses are principally used as dwell
lings. The ground floors of the hous-
es are under from two to four feet of
water, so that the occupants have
sought shelter in the upper stories.-
All the front windows were open and
looking out of them were hundreds of
women and childrn who were not able
to leave their dwellings, except in
boats, with any degree Of safety. The
streets below, which had became a
part of the Ohio river, was being
navigated by numerous boats, wash
tubs, planks and number of small
boys were walking about on stilts.-
At the corner Of Butler and Front
streets were anchored several boats
waited to be hired out.
'What'll ye ak to row me cross to
me house in the muddle of the block 2"
asked son Erin, coming out of a
saloon at the corner, where he had
been inbibing rather freely, of the
young man who had charge of the
hiring of the boats.
Fifty cents answered the young
man in charge.
'To blazes wild ye and yer boat re-
turned the intoxicated man as he
caught hold of a plank that was float
ing by. He mounted the plank and
giving it push reached the middle of
the street, where the water was the
deepest, when he lost his balance and
down he went into the water, which
had the effect Of sending up screams
from women whose heads were stick
out of nearly every window in the
neighborhood. A boy in a wash tub
came to his rescue. 4 number of the
children imprisoned in the houses
were amusing themselves by throwing
cats and dogs out of the windows
One old woman attempted to cross the
street in tub, which upset with her
and she came very near drowning be-
fore help could reach her.
A boy about twelve years of age,
who was amusing himself by walking
on stills across the flooded streets,
missed his footing and fell and was
taken out of the water unconscious
Shouts of the The baby! the babyv
by chorus of excited women's voices
rent the air in this locality late yester-
day afternoon. The excitement was
occasional by the upsetting of a wash
tub containing youthful excursion
party composed of little boy and
girl aged ten and twelve respectively,
and baby of about four months old.
She had charge of the navigation, but
proved poor seaman, as the tub up
set. Fortunately the accident hap
nened in shallow water and no harm
except good wetting was done.
A fine old Irish lady, whose resi-
dence is in Pendleton was visited by
the flood, sat contentedly on the side
of her bed-stead watching through
the open door the work of removing
her neighbors in boats. Being finally
entreated to abandon her house and
seek place of safety, she said, 'O'ill
no 60. Oil stay here And this ul-
timatum the fine old Irish lady still
sticks. If her house is ont of water
she still is sitting on the same bed

A Funny Mistake.

Mistakes will occur in the best
regulated families, but We doubt if a
more ludicrous one ever happened in
any home than that which the San
Francisco AHO reports. The editor
says that In small village across the
bay resides a we'll known minister and
his family. One of his sons, who was
just approaching manhood. has been
in the habit, since infancy, of walking
in his sleep.
Every effort has been made to break
him of his somnambulistic tendencies,
but without avail. A short time. ago,
it was decided by the head of the
house that the somnambulist should
occupy the same couch with his elder
brother, and the latter instructed, in
case the boy attempted to walk in his
sleep, to administer punishment by an
application Of the sole of his slipper.
One night a short time ago, the
father imagined he heard disturb
ance in the chicken yard at the rear
of the house, and fearing that his hen
roost might be robbed, he entered the
room where the boys were sleeping,
and, opening the window, looked out
into the darkness to ascertain whether
his apprehensions were correct.
The elder son thought the figure at
the window was his brother, and leap
ing from his couch seized the ever
ready slipper and administer severe
castigation upon the form in undress
at the window.
Before the astonished father could
return he had received some four or
five heavy stinging blows, and was so
surprised and astonished that for
moment he could hardly speak work.
The son when he realized the situa-
ton, was almost paralyzed, and scene
was ridiculous in the extreme. When
the circumstances were explained, how
ever, the clergyman fully appreciated
the joke.
