Never Tell a Lie.
From the Boston Post.

Somehow, theory and practice don't seem
to hitch up together much better than an
elderly and irascibie cat and bulldog in the
heyday of his youth and cussedness Last Sun
day Parson Bangle became Disguised with the
untruthf illness of mankind and preached a
vigorous sermon in denuneiation of society
falsehOod. He declared that lies told lust out
of pOliteness were just as wicked as those told
with the deliberate intention of deceiving as to
the value of a horse. In fact these society lies
get folks into the habit oflying, and they readily
pick up the ether kind. The sermon made a
great impression. Many of the congregation
resolved to reform. Coming out of
church, Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger,
who sits in front of him: Judge hope you
didn't mind my putting my feet under your
pew?" The judge was about to reply: "Oh,
certainly not" but he thought of the sermon
and answered. Il did, though; your old hoofs
took up all the room, and were fearful nui-
sance." .'Well," said the deacon, 'the hair
oil You use smells so it nearly forced us to
leave the pew" They CARED at each other, and
just then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jinkins came
along. Miss Jinkins had asked: "How do you
like my new bonnet?" SO. l thought it Just
love" replied Mrs. B., and then she thought
of the sermon and continued: mo, l didn't,
either. 1t is horrid thing. I wouldn'tsbe
seen with it." And Miss Jinkins got mad and
replied: We'll, if l were you I'd not wear
dirty stockings to church; and, if did I'd keep
'em out of sight" While these honest CONVEX
sations were going on Mrs. Ragbag had said to
her next door neighbor, Mr.. Gallagher: 'sT hope
the CRYING Of our baby last night didn't dis
turb your" And Gallagher had replied NO
that is-yes. i wanted to brain the brat" And
then Mrs. Ragbag called him wretch. and
wept And then the clergyman came out and
asked young Symonds how he liked the sermon.
Symonds said: ''It was grand ef-er-no. Par
son it was blamed nonsense" ''Sir." said the
parson, and he drew himself up Indignantly
Just then Ragbag and Gallagher, after telling
each ether some truth, clinched Deacon Jones
was trying to hold Miss Jinkins from scratching
Mrs. Badger, and every body was mad 1t
took tremendous efforts to stop the rows and
prevent scandal and. as it was, every body
went away mad with every body else. And the
parson went home and meditated in gloomy
frame of mind for three hours, and finally con-
cluded that society lying was wicked: but he
wouldn't preach against 1t again. It's altogether
too handy sin to be given up.

THE DRAWING ROOM LAMP.

A Mell0xeed Effusgence That is Favor.
able to Facial Effects.
From the London World.
The art of drawing room decoration has now
reached point Of unprecedented perfection,
and a drawing room never shows to such ad-
vantage as when the fire has just been made up
for 5 O'Clock tea, and the lamps. newly kindled,
shed, through the crimson shades placed upon
the globes. rich lustre around. The melowed
eulgence is peculiarly favorable to facial effects,
and a countenance which can scarcely conceal
the ravages of time in the fierce glare of day is
rejuyenated by the subdued radiance of we'll
behaved moderators. Gas is one of the great
enemies OF the human race; as it furnishes Silver
and Kills flowers, so is it. if not fatal at least
Indignantly hostile to the fairest couHtenance.
whose first youth has gone. The expulsion of
Gas from drawing rooms and from dwelling
rooms generally, is one of the events on which
the present age is cordially to be congratulated.
In many London houses it was, indeed, never
tolerated, just as it is rigdly excluded from
some Of the best managed clubs. But its con-
venlence was so great and it saved 80 much
trouble that it was difficult to dispense with it.
AT lat it has been discovered that it has de-
structive quality. Ladies, young and old, have
found from experience that it is unbecoming;
that If drawing room and its mistress are to
look we'll there is no such picturesque security
for their doing SO as the subdued and family
tinted light thrown by the latest novelties in
drawing room lamps

1t is seldom that q man chooses 50 inopnor-

the story OF his love. Last evening at the Eu-

Press a couple occupied seats near the south
aisle of the parqnette. The lady was handsome
with dark eyes and hair. and red lips She was
dressed in black, with wide Mother Hubbard
collar and wide Gainesborough hat Her es-

hair, and seemed not SO tall as the lady, He
wore his stunningest necktie: and his hair cave

gum-sirop, and murinured:
II have loved you ever since I first met YOU"
The faintest little summer cloud of frown
passed over ner face as she replied:
Il don't see what there was about me TO love
dressed as l was in that old plaid travelling
dress"
1T wasn't your dress. it was the girlish
sweetness, the native modesty, which pervaded
YOU"
Just then the curtain went I'D on another act

The Pirasical Mate OF the Betsy Jane

rom the Maiden Headlight.
1t was the schooner Betsy Jane,
For Boston from Quincee,
And the skipper had hobbled down below
To take his rye whiSkee.
Red was his nose as a carrot tin.
His breath OF rotations teld,
And the only use for water, he Swore,
Was 10 float his vessel bold.
The skipper he turned up from below
With a new light in his eye;
And he looked aloft and he looked allow,
And he gaZed at the evening sky.
"A good fair wind and an easy sea,
And fust-rate mate I've got;
III finish that bottle OF liquor he said,
And his vessel he soon forgot
Oh, wee for the skipper who filed so full!
The mate was pirate bold,
And he took deep oath on a marlineSpike
mat MS aim was gore and gold.
He had read OF the deeds OF Morgan and Teach,
And he reyelled in Captain Kidd;
And he had spent year on Squantum beach
IN searching for treasures bid.
He laughed to scorn the winds and waves;
I'm the Sea King, and I'll fix
This vessel up as pirate craft
She Was loaded then with bricks.
Oh, the chaste full moon looked down that night
On a lad OF royal mien
Who stood at the helm Of the Betsy Jane,
Aged just about thirteen.
He aimed to rival the Boy Buctaneer,
And he cautiously looked around,
And matured his plans as the vessel sailed
From Quincy to Boston town.
He would take the Betsy Jane to sea-
10, no. for the Spanish Main.
And the Florida Keys and the Bahamese,
And hurrah for the Betsy Jane!
He would make the skipper walk the plank,
And plank he accordingly fixed;
Oh, he knew the pirates tricks.
So he called the skipper up from below,
And he gently led the way
Where the plank was leading from the side
To the waters OF the bay.
Full half foot Ger the raging sea
The end of the plank was fixed;
The Betsy Jane sailed very low,
She was loaded deep with bricks.
And the pirate armed with a marlinespfke
Drove the Capitalize his doom;
He tumbled him over into the sea,
Abaft the main jibboom.
Then loudly laughed the pirate bold,
And again he laughed In glee,
"ThrOugh Shirley Gut the Betsy Jane
VIII sail away 10 seal"
But alas for the schemes Of the pirate bold!
The skipper on board had climbed,
And with a ropes end in his hand
He gently came behind.
The laughter came to sudden end;
The pirates reign is DER,
When he rose nom athwartth Captains knee
He seemed to feel quite sore.
The Betsy Jane sailed on her way.
From Quincy to Boston town,
But twas fifteen days ere the pirate bold
Found comfort in sitting down.
