Why Not?

To Judge by the actions of some per-
sons, YOU would say that the idea of be-
ing social had never entered their heads.
They come and 60 in almost absolute
silence. If You meet them in their busi-
ness. their answers and statements are
very brief; and. then they relapse into
silence. If YOU meet them in the street.
car, or on the railway. they are busy
with their own thoughts. or reading, or
asleep. They have no interest in life or
nature about them. You sit down with
them to the table and they have no word
of cheer to enliven the time. They either
have not the knack, or lack the desireto
engage in conversation.
Half a century ago there were many
brilliant conversationalists. And truly.
it was a noble power. To pour forth. out
of the rich stores of full mind, flashes
of wit. and treasures of knowledge.
Who has not felt the kindling and sharp
eaing of mind as wit and wisdom flash
from soul to soul? One has but to listen
to the words of after-dinner speakers at
some brilliant gathering, to realize the
power of uttered thought to kindle
thought.
Enter now some pleasant family circle
where all are full of life and thought,
and see how delightful the hour of meal
time can be made. Then go back to a
dry, wordless meal and see the contrast.
The food may have been equally good.
but, oh, the difference; one is all life, and
Joy, and sparkle. and the other is like a
November day, with its dull, heavy,
leaden sky.
One ought to bring the results of his
thinking. and give the benefit of it to all
his friends. Not the chatf; there is always
plenty of that ilyinga bout. What one
ought to do, is to have something worth
saving. and then. when in lit places say
| it, and thus let others gain by his labor.
Father, mother, brother, sister; each one
should bring something. What change
this would make. How many hurried
and often unpleasant meals would be.
come delightful gatherings to which all
would rejoice to come, and each one
wish he might linger longer at.
OF what avail are gathered stores o.
knowledge if we do not use them? They
are better for constant use and they rust
as does machinery, when not used
Think how much can be done in this wa,
to teach, or please, or help the ignoran
and timid.
They will be glad to be appreciated
and aided, and the speaker will find hi
own ideas clearer and better for frequen

many bright, cheering words which will

Oysters.

What number Of oysters person can
swallow ut a sitting seems Il difficult
question TO decide. Brillat-Savarin de-
clares that it was no uncommon thing
at great feastS where oysters formed the
Introductory dish for several of the
guests to eak a gross of them--twelve
dozen. and hundred and forty-four!
He calculated that such number would
weigh three pounds. and that still the
Gargantuan consumer c0,lld proceed
comfortably afterward with his dinner;
whereas had it been three pounds of
meat he had ingested he would
have been obliged to cry, "Hold-
enoughr' Brillat-Savarin himself, at
his celebrated luncheon to his two old
friends of the Rue de Bac. offers them
each two dozen as whet, And he tells
an anecdott of n friend of his, great
amateur. to whom he offered surfeit
of oysters. but that after his friend had
accomplished his thirty-second dozen,
and was still proceeding vigorously, the
host thought it time to suggest dinner,
at which his friend behaved himself as a
hungry man ought. This seems to settle
the question of the digestibility of the
oyster, for Brillat-Savarin is generally
trustworthy. The eight Or. at the most

THE NIGHT- WIND.

Once when the night-wind clapped its wing5
And shook the window bars and roof,
/ heard the souls of battle kings
Drive by in clashiny proofs
Sometimes, a runic strife it kepl,
OF winter nights. in slcctcd trees.
Or underneath the caves il crept-
A swarm OF murmuring bees.
Or now. wild huntSmen of the air
In hollow chase their bugles blew,
While swift DER wood and hilltop baro
The shrill-voiced quarry flew.
Sometimes heard oflovers flown,
safe, under ward of storm and night,
To where. In sylvan lodge, there shone
A taper kind and bright.

Aud still would tell, if might hear;
But sorrow sleeps too sound and well
To lend dreamtui ear.

A Cure for Unrequitted Love.

A curious love episode had its culmi-
nation in court here to-day when Jennie
Blank. Il good-looking young woman of
refined appearance. was found guilty of
maliciously breaking the windows of
William ii. Anderson house. Miss
Blank first met Mr. Anderson about nine
wears ago. and fell deeply in love with
him, although he claims that he did not
encourage her affection. He ceased To
visit her. and she then began To write
him letters of the most touching charac-
ter, but they failed to move him. On
the contrary, he wooed and Won another
woman. whom lie married nearly year
ago. But this only seemed 10 excite
Miss Blank to frenzy, and she wrote him
SO many letters that he sometimes re-
ceived five or six of them in one mail.
There was nothing offensive in them:
they spoke of hopeless love; but the SEN
| timentS were refined and the language
we'll chosen. Mr.. Anderson did not re-
| ply to them. and some time after his
marriage. he said to-day ON the witness
stand. somebody began to annoy him by
Systematically breaking the windows OF
| his house. One time brick was thrown
through his store window at three O'clock
in the morning. On another occasion
his enemy apparently made miscalcu-
lation and sent stone crushing through
the window Of Chinese laundry next
door. Mr. Anderson placed himself on
watch for the miscreant about two weeks
ago, and discovered that it was his adj
mirer. He saw her take apiece OF brick
out of tissue paper, send i, banging
against his shop window and walk COM
placentlv away. He followed her IL

A B0stOnian's Bet and Hew He Won IL.

A Young man in Boston remarked to
leading comedian of one of the popular
theaters that he was anxious to attend
one of Mime. Adelina PATHS concerts

the comedian.

he was a friend and companion Of the
dead Payne, having been present at his
death-bed in Tunis, Africa, in 1851. He
also remarked that it would be the sim
cere wish of his life to once again near
the beloved song of his old friend.
Mime. Patti Immediately returned
letter, inclosing one of the best seats in
the house, the youth thus winning the
wager.
But the amusing part Of the story Is
yet to be told. The young man went to
the concert naturally shaky, in fear the
seat might have been marked that was
to be occupied by the pseudo o-companion
of Payne, in the event of which an in
terview was inevitable concerning the
last moments of the author of Home"
As he was proceeding to his seattle
third from the aisle-an old gentleman
was about to seat himself ON the first
seat. With presence of mind, our young
friend remarked to the elder party that
he had better take the seat he was to oc-
cupy, as it was far more desirable. and
that as he was to 60 out several times
during the concert he would be sure to
greatly Inconvenience him. After few
selections an usher approached and re-
marked to the old gentleman that Mime.
Patti requested his presence behind the
scenes, much to the old party's aston
iShment. He demonstrated. remarking
that he was at loss to understand the
diva's request, but at length he COM
piled. There he was cordially received
as the old companion of John Howard
Payne, and the situation can be better
imagined than described. Well, the
old gentleman's heart went "pit-a-pat.
