A STARTLING rumor got loose in New York
that several girls employed at tho telephone
exchange had lost their voices from halloo-
ing-not hello-ing, please observe-at the
telephones. A hapless reporter was sent
around to find out if talking injured a
woman's voice. The manager explained
mourrfully that they could not only talk as
much and as loud as when they begun using
the telephone, but he really thought practice
increased their natural ability to talk. He
said they talked all day through the tele-
phones, all during their daily recess and
talked to each other when they had nothing
else to do. Fellow citizens, the telephone, if
two were introduced into every house, would
give us no respite,

CURRENT GOSSIP.

She stood up in horse car,
That maid With careless grace;
And of the bold canductor
Appeared TO scan her face.
Her eyes were large and dreamy.
And golden was hor hair;
Her crimson cheeks were creamy,
And no was passing fare.
Alone she leaned that morning
Against the sliding door,
And. all their glances scorning,
She eyed the sitters DER,
While there she stood rejecting
The man of dimes and cents
Was busily collecting,
With industry intense.
But In his private pocket
No dimes he slipped that morn;
And, listless, from each socket,
Ills arms hung down forlorn.
"Why does he gaze so wildly 2"
The modest maiden thought,
While, fumbling his cash mildly,
He muttered, :" am caught"
His stare became so rigid,
The maid was In despair,
And, with n glance most frigid,
She sought the outer air.
Why did her face burn hotter,
And why was he not cool3
He took her for spottor,
She thought he was a fool.

When woman's life shall come TO you,
In all IT'S grand completeness.

And indeed often wonder
For each of the married friends know

You need not worry at ali, sweet lore.
And you need not marry, my dear one;
Yet still you may make tina, life OF yours
A rounded, complete, and clear one.
There would still be something lacking
A weary and painful sense OF loss
My brain and heart would be racking.
But if YOU should marry, nv darling child,
My innocent. tender, and glad one,
And make a mistake as SO many do,
Your life would be such sad one.
think, and think my father dear,
That true love is never mistaken
Though heavy its letters may be like lead,
Like down they are lightly shaken.
Whatever may fail. nv father dear.
True love Is ever victorious.
And sad and bitter though life may be.
To live and to love is glorious.

from under the sole OF his right boot. The

Exchanged

At the battle of Peach Orchard. when
Mcclellan was making his change o!
base, a Michigan infantyman fell to the
ground as if stone dead and was lef lying
in heap as the regiment changed posi-
ton. The ball which had hit him first
struck the barrel of his gun. glanced and
struck a button of his coat, tore the
watch out of his vest pocket, and then
struck the man just over the heart, and
was stopped there by song book in his
shirt pocket He was unconscious for
three quarters of an hour, and il was a
full month before the black-and-blue spot
disappeared.
Al Pinsburg Landing a member of the
Twelfth Michigan infantry stopped to
give a wounded man a drink from his
canteen. While in the act, a bullet
aimed At his breast struck the canseen,
turned aside, passed through the body Of
a man and buried itselfin the leg Of horse.
The canteen was split open and dropped
to the ground in halves.
At the second battle of Bull Run, \
New York infantpman was passing to-
bacco to a comrade; a bullet struck the
plug, glanced off and buried itself in a
tnapsack. The tobacco was relied up
like ball of shavings, and carried hum
dred feet away. Directly in the line Of
the buffet was the head Of the lieutenant
and had no, the bullet been DETECTED, he
would certainly have received il. As it
was he had both eyes filed with tobacco
dust and had to be led TO the rear.
At Brandy Station, one CT Clusters
troopers had his left stirrup strap cut
away by grape shot, which passed be-
tween his leg and thu horse, blstering
his skin as il red hot iron had been
used. He dismounted to ascertain the
extent of his injuries. and as he bent over
bullet knocked his hat off and killed
his horse.
In the same fight was a trooper who
had suffered several days with the tooth
ache. In a hand-to-hand fight he re-
ceived pistol ball in the right cheek.
It knocked out his aching double tooth
and passed out Of the left hand corner of
his mouth, taking along part Of an up

toothache was so great that the trooper
could not be made to so to the rear to
have his wound dressed.

The Lottery of Life.
fExchange.I

Every act reacts on the actor and we re-
ceive precisely according to our deeds.
In our success we see the connection OF
cause and effect, and attribute ii to our
own efforts but in misfortune we attribute
the consequences Of our own conduct to
our fellow-men. to luck or to Providence.
Men forget that vices draw blanks, as
surely as virtues draw prizes, in what they
are pleased to call the lottery of life. y
The industrious man seeks wealth, and
finds it. Let not the intellectual man
murmur at the ills of fortune, for he did
not seek wealth. II was not the conse-
quence of his pursuit but he sought
knowledge, and found it.
