can say is as well or better said in books,

A Man Put to ROut.

Most men will lose their presence Of
mind undel moments of excitement
Thus it is no great discredit to we'll
known man in a suburban town that he
quite lost his head recently in conse-
quence of an unexpected and alarming
incident. He was at the railway station
in the place of his residence upon the
arrival of the noon train from Boston
and saw descend therefrom half-score
of chattering, laughing and attractive
young women. Gathered on the plat
form to welcome them was another bevy
of maidens. who were at once set upon
by the detachment above mentioned and
the accustomed scene of OSCILLATION, fer
vent embraces and expressions of pleas
ure which is to be noted whenever two
or three women are gathered suddenly
together was enacted. The congrega-
ton of assorted males who were present
looked upon this animated scene with
mingled amusement and yearning, and
the man in question. who was young and
waggish, began burlesquing the action
Of the young women by selling upon a
masculine friend, embracing him with
ssdor and affecting to kiss him with
much loud and lablal smacking. While
thus engaged one of the liveliest of the
girls observed him, and stepping up to
him. remarked that if he was as anxious
for kiss as he seemed to be he had bet
ter let his friend alone and kiss her.
The hilarity of the person thus chal-
lenged Immediately vanished, his jaw
fell and his knees smote together, and
he feebly calculated, in stammering ac-
cents: Thank you; but I'm mar
riedr' The girl laughed mischievously
and vanished, and five minutes later the
subject of this sketch was seen stamping
around the depot and calling himself sll
sorts of names because he didn't dare
meet the audacious young woman half
way. But when he reached home he
doubtless gave his wife an edifying ac-
countr-and one quite different from the
above-of how his firmness had brought
to discontinue bold and designing lie.

An Angry Tree.

A gentleman of this place has tree
which is species of ascacia. 1t was
grown from seed brought from Australia.
The tree is now a sapling some eight
feet in height, and it is in full foliage and
growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous, and
very distinctly shows the characteristics
of the mimosa, sensitive plant. Regu-
larly every evening, about the time the
''chickens 60 to roost," the tree goes to
roost. The leaves fold together, and the
ends of the tender twigs coil themselves
up like the tail of a well-conditioned
pig. After one of the twigs has been
stroked or handled, the leaves move I'M
easily and are in sort of mild commo-
ton for a minute or more. All this was
known about the tree. but it was only
yesterday that it was discovered that
the tree had in it much more life and
feeling than it had ever before been
credited with. The tree being in quite
small pot--one which it was fast out
growing-it was thought best to give it
one of much larger size. Yesterday
afternoon the tree was transferred to its
new quarters. 1t resented the operation
of its removal to the best of its ability.
Arriving at his residence about the time
the tree had been transplanted, the
gentleman found the house in grand
commotion. On asking what was up he
was told that they had transplanted the
tree according to orders, and that the
operation had made it very mad. Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up in
II directions. like the hair on the tail
Of an angry cat, and soon the whole
plant was in culver. This could have
been endured, but at the same time it
gave out an odor most pungent and
sickening-just such smell as is given
off by rattlesnakes and many other kinds
Of snakes in summer when leased. This
odor so filled the house and was SO sick
ching that it was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. 1t was
fully an hour before the plant Gained
down and folded its leaves in peace. 1t
would probably not have given up the
fight even then had it not been that its
time for going to roost had arrived. -
