THE EDIToR's TRowsERs.

An editor in Chicago recently ordered
a pair of trowsers from the tailor. On
trying them on they proved to be several
inches too long. 1t being late on Satur-
day night, the tailors shop was closed,
and the editor took the trowsers to his
wife and asked her to cut them off and
hem them over. The good lady, whose
dinner had, perhaps, disagreed with her,
brusquely refused. The same result
followed an application to the wife's
sister and the eldest daughter. But be-
fore bedtime the wife, relenting, took
the pants and, cutting off six inches from
the legs, hemmed them up nicely and
restored them the closet. Half an hour
later her daughter, taken with compunc-
ton for the unflial conduct, took the
trowsers and, cutting off six inches,
hemmed and replaced them. Finally,
the sister-in-law felt the pangs of con-
science, and she too performed an adj
ditional surgical operation on the gor-
ment. When the editor appeared at
breakfast on Sunday the family thought
a Highland chieftan had arrived. The

HE LOVED MUSIC.

While listening to a country brass
band, marching at the head of a torch
light procession, I was seized with the
insuppressible desire to become a musi-
clan, and upon broaching the matter to
the leader OF the band, who was my
fathers bitter enemy, he loaned me a
horn to take home and practice on. I
do not remember the name of the horn,
but it had seen much service and was
considerably battered up in places. It
keys generally refused to go down at the
proper time, and after they were once
down it was next to impossible to get
them up. I proceeded to learn the
scale, as the leader had directed, and
funeral pail seemed to fall over the en-
tire family. The deaf housekeeper, who
had been faithful to us for ten years,
said that duty called her elsewhere,
and then she left. Even the dog, for
which I had traded the violin, and who
seemed to cherish sincere affection for
me- went back to his old home, and no
means of persuasion, except a strong
piece Of clothes-line, would induce him
to come back. People seemed to shun
our house. The tax collector, who had
been a frequent caller during the pre-
ceding few months, broke off the init
macy before existing. One might have
thought we had a case of smallpox in
the house. Seven hired girls left us in
rapid succession-and yet I had not
learned the scale. But my health
seemed to be declining, and I was in
