The Cigaretfe-Consnrned.

From the Philadelphia Times
Like midnight apparition which
can not be shaken off, the cigarette
consumed young man haunts one daily
in the streets and nightly in thcatcrs
and saloons. His sallow countenance,
betokening the signs of approaching
dissolution, appears ever and anon be-
tween the masses of deatb-laden smoke
which arise and are waited into the
faces Of healthy pedestrians, causing
sensations of siekly nature. The
smile with which he greets you is only
an alleged smile, aud the hollow voice
which utters bis equally hollow words
CRATES on the ear and makes ono think
of the way skull might talk II skulls
were gifted with speech. His walk is
a tottcr, his breath sayors Of the char
nel-house, aud bis eyes wear a pitlfnl,
painful, idiotie look.
The cigarette-consuned young man,
despite The pcrils surrounding him, is
on the increase. 1t is considered smart
to be cigarette-consuincd youth. IL
is deemed the height of manliness to
waste ambition and destroy vigor with
smoke-.-and snch smoke. The cigar
cttc-copsumed young man thinks be ls
attractive. and supposes that the small
parcel of brains which has escaped
the influence of nicotine furnishes the
worlds tliought---at least the superb
eial, unreal world 10 which he moves.
lie thinks mother will pct him all the
more, sister hnmor him, and all the
girls adore him because he is cigarette
consumed.
The rising generation promises 10
be largely composed Of cigarette-con-
sumed young men unless stringent
nleasures are taken to conDteract exist
ing tendencies. 1t were better that
Mother shiptoD had been right or that
the sun hurry up and reach the earth
than that such result transpire. IL
would be vast better for the young
man to be sun consumed instead OF
cigarette consumed. The cigarette
consumed young man is bore and the
world is tired Of seeing him around.

lately received a letter from him couch

"Sir, l cannot send my seconds to
such a scoundrel as yourself. Hereby,
therefore, l smite you. This is the sole
object of this letter. 1t conveys to you,

A few months ago a farmer living on
the line of the Jackson and Fl. Wayne
road visited the headquarters of the
company to urge the necessity of a new
passenger station at a certain cross.road
on the line.
''I'm afraid the patronage would not
pay the expenses" replied the official.
81 tell you a heap of people would
get on and off at them corners urged
the farmer.
"Well, how many of your neighbor'
hood have passed over Dur road this
year2"
"How many2 Well, there's old mar
Skinner for one. He has been to Jack
son twice that 1 know of. Then there's
Aunt Deborah Smith, who goes down
to Fl. Wayne every spring and fall.
Then we've got several young men
who alters go up to Lansing when
there's a circus"
"Any more?" asked the official, as
the farmer scratched his head and
wriggled around.
NO, l don't know as l kin think
of any more just now, but If you'll &c
ahead and put up a station there, you
kin count on a dozen of us setting
around there all the time to make
things look like business"

The shah Of Persia lately underwent
the operation of having a tooth pulled.
Prayers for his safe passage through the
ordeal were offered up In advance in the
mosques, and he made his will and took
an affectionnte farewell Of his wives.
The shah had evidently had a tooth ex-
tracted once before. - Philadelphia

A Maine grocer who had just ''expe-
rienced religion" acknowledged in
meeting that he had been q hard sinner,
cheated customers by the adulteration
of his goods, etc., but, being converted,
would repay any one lie had %wronged.
Late that night he was awakened by a
a ring at his door-bell. Looking cut he
saw a man. "Who are you and what
do you want?n 'I'm Bill Jones. You
said last night you would repay those
you cheated. Give me that 500 you've
owed me so long, Can't you wait

Two Rich Wemen.

Fifth avenue. New York, contains
two ladies of great wealth, each of
whom may be said to live alone, with
the exception of servants. One OF
these is Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who occu-
pies palace which cost 81 100000. The
taxes alone, on this grand establish
ment, are S12,500. She has a dozen
servants and house-keeper, but other
wise lives alone, though often visited by
her young and expectant relatives.
The other is Miss Harriet Lenox, sister
of the philanthropist, who occupies
the house built by the latter when Fiji n
avenue first became an aristocrstlc
street. She also lives alone, with the
exception of the servants, but her pur-
pose in life is to carry out her brothers
philantropic schemes, for which reason
he made her his sole heir. Old Robert
Lenox, founder of the family, bad four
cbildren-a son and three daughters.
Harriet is the last Of the line, which,
in the event of her death, will become

Gives Him Away.
From Peck's Sun.

An article in the ArkansaaD Iravel-
err, of Little Rock, about an excursion
list that appeared on the horizon there,
contains few words that will strike
most people very funny, as follows:
"An excursionist is not very present.
able after his cheap duster has lost its
original glaze and stiffness. A limp
buster makes a man look as though he
has been riding free and is ashamed of
himself" How true it is. An excur-
sionist, whether from New York, Kala-
mazo or Pentwater, is marked man.
His linen buster gives him away. If it
is an old buster, people say he has fish
ed out of rag bag, and if it is new
one they say he bought it for the occa-
sion, and it looks bad, whether new or
cid, after it has been slept in, in car
seat for night or two. An excursion
list wants to appear as though. travelling
was an every dav occurrence with hiI,
and he wants people to think it is a
great bore to him tc be on the road so
much, but one look. at his linen ulster,
with the dirty linen cuffs sticking out
of the sleeves, and the tail wrinkled as
though it had been used to swab gun
barrel, gives him away to all eternity.

Too Much for Her.

The modest moon meandered through
the cerulean blue of Heavens dome,
and the soft stiffness of the night seem
ed the sweetest of companionship. Nei.
Their the echoing call of the odd eyed
owl nor the cheerful chirrup of the
cricket We're heard. The atmosphere
was somnolent and sensuous and the
calm quiet of the night largely lent aid
to the capturing charms of Dame Ma
ture. Esrr 4.
At the side gate (the reader will care
fully note that this is not the stereo.
typed front gate) of a splendid edifce,
the home of Hon. Thos. X. Robbem,
stood Mignonette Robbem and the star
OF her destiny, Jacobin N. G. Tusoon.
A very close observer, particularly if
he had lantern, could detect tat the
two young people were noticibly near
to each other. In fact, a faithful histo-
rian Of that event would have to record
that the young mans arm was around
her Venus.like shoulders, her model
head resting where his bontonnier or
dinarily belonged, and their lips were
glued together with the old fashioned
ever-since Adam and, Eve glue. 1t was
a sight which would surely have delight
ed an artists eye, and maddened Mig's
papa, who entertained no such gushing,
I-am-yours-o only affection for JAG as did
Mig herself.
At once and without notice, the fair
young form divine tore herself madly
from the above described double.thick-
ness glucose embrace, and hysterically
piteously sank upon her knees, every
known expression of unutterable agony
and deathless distress being wildly,
lividly depicted upon her Madonnic
features. Her head fell upon her beau
tiful bosom, her face was buried in her
faultless hands, and misery and woe
were hers in large and killing guam
titles. Like flash of set-up lightning
she sprang to her feet, and with one
long, lingering, cloud-piercing scream,
threw herself, as we'll as the interven.
ing gate would permit, upon Jacobin N.
G.. Tusoon's neck, and murmured in
faint, hollow, Marie Stuart tones:
"Jac. there's bug down my back !"

that which she thinks genteel to do

anything that is not--can she find real

ers, over whom she wastes many hours,
there will be one marplot, so unconee-
NAL to herself and other friends who
may call, that the mornings expected
pleasure, meager as it may be, is a
source of keen annoyance, perhaps in
part atoned for after tho offensive guests
depart, in the low and rudo satisfaction
of turning the unfortunate one into rid

If this dollhouse plant decides to
leave the house and make round of
senseless calls herself, how much pleas
ure will she be likely to secure. How
often few words of silly gossip rouse
an envious or jealous spirit in her breast
that is source of keen annoyance to
her for days.
Now, here are two paths, either of
which our young girls may choose, and
on that choice the happiness or misery
of their whole lives may depend. Here
comes the mothers most solemn work
for in the influence their example or
teaching may have in determining that
choice the mother must be held respon-
sib.e.
It will rest almost wholly with the
mother whether these young girls, just
looking toward womanhood, shall learn
to seek their sweetest pleasures at homo
in useful employment and the refined
companionship of sensible parents will
seek to bring them, or shall learn to
seek amusement in fashionable society
and dissipation, anywhere, anyhow, but
at home!
With the first class of parents, we
look to see our young girls developed
int genuine home saints; with the
second class, how can we expect any
thing but girls who spend their young
maidenhood in seeking those pleasures
that perish in the using, and fill their
hearts with discomfort and bitterness,
and after marriage scorn the idea of be-
ing housekeepers; preferring to seek
the only homes they will ever know in
fashionable boarding houses or the gid
dy whirl of hotel life Christian
