DIDN'T LIKE CIGARS.

While riding down town in smoking
car of the Sixth Avenue Line, a reported
of the New York Times was a witness TO
an amusing occurrence. A portly and
well-dressed gentleman sat opposite him.
He was smoking a fragrant cigar, which
he appeared to enjoy hugely. At twenty.
third street person in the garb Of lady
entered the vehicle. She carried at least
$500 dollars worth of dry goods on her
person, not to speak Of her rich jewelry
and the beautiful King Charles spaniel
which she bore on her arm. This strik-
ing vision attracted the attention if not
the admiration, Of every gentleman in
the car except the happy man referred
to. He seemed to be absorbed in his
cigar and entirely oblivious to the charms
which druggists and modistes dispense to
the fair sex.
The lady gazed on this impertuibable
man in astonishment. She coughed and
sneezed gently, but he needed her not.
She arose, walked across the car and
opened window near the smoker. He
would not take the hint, but smoke on.
She could stand it no longer, and, again
arising. she walked over to the gentle
man, deliberately drew the cigar from
his lips, and threw it through the win
dow into the street.
The mans features never moved. and
he remained as quiet, statue'que and
composed as before. Neither was the
lady furried. She took her seat COM
posedly opposite the gentleman, and pa
ted the pretty spaniel as it lay IN he
lap.
By this time Fourteenth street was
reached, the car window was still open,
and the gentleman prepared for action.
Quick as thought he seized the spaniel
and sent it yelping into the street through
the window. The lady screamed, dash
ed thro lgh the door after the animal and
was seen no more.
Served her right" was the verdict OF
the passengers.

SPRING.

Come, gentle Spring, A thousand years ago
Eyes waited for thy steps even as now.
And watched to see thee fling from bough to
bough
Thy drapery OF leaves. thy blooms OF snow.
| Even as now the robins cheerful song
Told OF the Earth awaking from her dreams,
Bright, howercrowned, bending over ripping
streams.
Viewing her face hid by the ice veil long.
Even as now, upon the brown hills side
Where timid flowers peeped from the new.
warmed ground,
Came little feet, like rain drops pattering
round,
And bright eyes searching where bud
might hide.
So shall Il be thousand years To come.
When we and all we love have pass ell from
earth;
The same familiar flowers shall deck the turf,
And in their honeyed cells tho bees shall
hum;
The birds soft warblng note shall welcome
spring;
The Earth. awaking. shall again resume
Her robe of green. shall burst her darksomc
tomb.
The icy ccrements that round her cling,
And all forgetful OF her winters sleep,
With rosy face shall rise 10 JOY and song,
So we, immortals, mid Gods happy throng.
No record of our earth. life then shall keep.

WHAT HE WOULD DO.

Ii was in the smoking car on the New

of how many duels he had fought, and
behind him sat a small man reading 8

ed around, "what would you do if chal-
lenged:" :"
"Refuse," was the quiet reply.
"Ah, thought as much. Refuse and

turned red, then pale-then looked the

then conversation turned on the general

WHERE HE KEPT HIS REVOLVER

A travelling man writing from Buffalo
gives an account of how two men sough
to rob drummer out West. They die
not rob him quite as much as they though
they would.
His name was Fisher, and he wa,
making q trip out through the western
country, where, if reckless men evel
caught drummer in safe place and
could get the drop on him, they were
pretty certain of good haul, as the
victim always had money.
Fisher had left the hotel and had wan
dered down to little creek to enjoy the
fresh air, and neared little clump OF
trees.
Two men were sitting under the trees
! watching his needless approach. AS he
got within few PAGES Of them they sud-
denly jumped up and one Of them levelep
long navy revolver and told the unfor-
tunate commercial traveller to hold p his
hands.
Fisher was probably the most aston.
ished man in the State at that moment.
His knees smote together, while he
seemed to grow shorter-sink into him
self as it were-the perfect picture Of
fright.
His hands, however, went about that
shiny plug hat instantly. He was not
too badly scared to listen to persuasion,
but there they trembled and waved and
bobbed up and down like a sycamore
leaf in gale of wind. 1t was comical
sight to see them, limp and white, flap.
ping around through space of half
foot or more. The brigand thought so,
too, and could no, help raising his eye
from his pistol to look at them
Fisher, through his half-closed eyelids
saw the movement o: the robbers eyes,
and then that trembling hand seemed to
fash down behind the tall black hat and
back again with something in it. There
were two reports as the hand came be
fore, instead of behind the plug. The
highwayman threw up his hands and
sank bank with bullet hole between
his eyes. while the tall, shining plug
rolled off the back of Fishers head, with
clean cut across the crown, where the
bullet from the long navy had plowed Its
way.
The other robber obeyed gruf order
to hold up his hands with an alaority
born of excellent judgment. for Fisher
had lost that wild look, and had drawn
lead on that chap which meant bust
ness.
The fear and trembling was but
clever ruse, and when the highwayman
took his eye from Fishers to watch that
trembling white hand, his surviving part
ner learned why the commercial traveller
wore coats made of stiff goods, so as TO
make the collar stand out free from the
back of the neck.
