People with Itching Fingers.

"DoI see many cases of kleptomania ?"
asked a leading grocer Of a Manchester
On. HI reporter who had questioned
him in regard to that weakness of hu-
manity "Well, I should say I did.
Cases are continually coming under my
notice, and the persons who do the steal
ingare ones whom youwouldn neversuspect
of such thing. A man took twelve
pears from basket in front Of my door.
He was q regular customer and had ON
account. I charged twelve dollars on
the book to him, and although when he
came to settle up he feigned surprise,
the pears were paid for, and the price
was one dollar each. One of the most
laughable occurrences in this line, which
ever came under my observation, was
thief who took quite a number of eggs
and placed them inside her bosom. The
proprietor caught on to the steal, and,
approaching the woman, said: Mrs.
-, always Thought a great deal of
you, at the same time placing his arms
about her and hugging her so tightly as
to break all the eggs. The surprise and
discontinue sf that female may be i'm
agined. There are some persons who
come into my store that can't seem to
keep their fingers off from goods 1t Is
truly surprising. And those people are
not poor people, either, whom you
would expect such things from, but re-
spectacle, well-to-do individuals, and
several are wealthy. One person in
particular, a woman, owns three houses.
She steals every chance she gets.

SOLITUDE.
Laugh, and the world laughs with YOU

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and 90.
They want full measure Of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help You die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles Of pain.
ELLA WHEELER.

AN OLD W0MAN'S STORY

Many years ago a girl and her great
grandmother sat together-the girl il
tears. Said Great-grandmamma Hudson
sitting very straight, not lolling, at he
eighty-eight years, as did her great
grandchildren of eighteen:
" Young folks think old folks are fools
but old folks know that young folk,
are.
"Thatis because you're old, grandma. .
sobbed Linda.
No; it is because I was once young. -
said the old lady.
"But he is the only one I shall ever
love, said Linda. "Papa is cruel to
me. Why does he think i'll of Lewis g?
He knows nothing about him. I shall
die if we are separated.
"I was going to die, too" said great
grandmother, but I didn't"
"Oh, tell me, please" cried Linda.
had you a lover; did they separate
you? I never knew you had love
story-that is, that kind of one.
Yes, said the old lady. "I had a
lover. You can have many lovers. but
never more than one father and mother.
Folks think of that when it's too late.
When father said that Cecil was Lord
knows who, and he should not come to
see me, remember I almost hated him
for it. When mother said she didn't
like him either, I almost hated her
Cruel creatures that stood between me
and my young lover-that was what my
parents seemed, to me then; and I was
worse than You, my dear, ever so much |
worse, for it seemed wicked to me that |
any one should take it for granted man
was not worthy of love because he was
a stranger, and I made preparations to
run away with Cecil and marry him at |
Gretna Green. Everything was ready; |
I had my iewelry in my bosom and my |
little bundle on my arm, and was creep
ing out of a side door that led into the
garden when a hand came down on my
shoulder and a voice cried out:
"' My girl, is this the way you use
us T and there was my father.
My fathers face was white as a ghost
and his hand shook as he held mine.
p Oh, father, father + 1 cried, IF You
would only let me have my will in this
one thing. You can't make a girl love
or hate by saying so.
"He stood, holding me firm and fast.
Z" It is Emeline who has betrayed
me, said; and though they would
never admit it knew the maid proved
false.
"Well, they locked me up in my room.
How often I cried out, shall die if I
am separated from Cecil.
IT am very old, but when I think
of it the old pain comes back again.
His eyes were like black diamonds,
and he had an olive cheek and
full red lips, and your men with
padded shoulders and thin arm and
legs and hollow chests wouldn't look
like men, standing beside him.
It,'was dreary time and my health
broke down under it. had fever, and
when was well again the doctor said I
must have change; 50 mother decided
% take me to the seaside; but first we
we're to go by stage-coach to London and !
risit anaunt there.
1T was the day of stage-coachss end '
he day of highwaymen.
"Going over certain common on our S
way coaches had more than once been
topped. The men were armed always
md the women trembled when they saw ,
,orsenen riding toward them.

GAMBLING TROUBLES. Monte Carlo
is responsible for two more suicides. A
commercial traveller from Lyons lost
5000 francs which he had received from
his employer at Lyons. The Casino
managers, to whom he stated his case,
refused to do anything to extricate him
from the,dihiculty whereupon he killed
himself as the only escape from prosecu-.
tion. Caunt Martini has been driven to-
commit like act by heavy losses sus-
tanned at the gaming tables. Even sui-
eide viii have an additional horror If as
is stated. the proprietors Of great wax
work exhibition intend to procure pho
tographs Of Monte Carlo victims and to
show wax work representations Of them.

THE SEVEN STAGES.

Only baby.
Kissed and caressod.
Gently held to a mothers breast.
Only a child,
Toddling alone,
Frightening now its happy home
Only a boy,
Trudging to school,
Governed now by sterner rule.
Only a youth,
Living in dreams,
Full Of promise life now seems
Only father,
Burdened with care,
Silver threads in dark-broSn hair.
Only a graybeard,
Todding again,
Growing old and full Of pain.
Only a mound,
0'ergrown with grass,
Dreams unrealized-rest at last.

street. After that critical experience
there was an agitation for the building
of a bulkhead to make its recurrence i'm
possible, but it soon died out ON the
principle of out of sight out of mind. No
one who has ever crossed the ArroyoSeco
need be told that tremendous volumes
OF water have at times filed its banks,
and with the steady piling up of sand
on the left bank of the Los Angeles
river the people in the low-lying portions
of the city might awake some night to
find themselves floating down towards
Wilmington. In the food spoken of a
large portion of the White vineyard was
left covered with four feet of sand. The
late Mr.. Huber had similar experience.
A levee or bulkhoad ought to be built by
the city from the toma down to the GOV.
cred bridge, at least. Our city fathers
will probably wait till the next great
food has worked its sweet will, and
they viii then do what ought to be done
now, or what ought, indeed, to have
been doneyears ago There is nothing,
with some people, like locking the sta,
BILE door after the horse has been stolen.

The Champion Condenser

Judge Jere Black is staunch Demo-
crat, one of the ablest of that political
faith, in fact. His speeches and writings
are remarkable evidence of his power
OF condensation. There is not single
superfluous word in them. His son,
Chauncey Black, himself writer of no
mean ability, delights to tell his first ex-
perience as newspaper contributor.
Said he "When | was quite young
man l made up my mind that / would
try my h6nd as a writer for newspa-
per. told my father my intention and
he strongly encouraged me to proceed,
telling me. by the way, to bring my arti-
Gle to him after | had completed il.
After great deal of thought selected
my subject, aud drew the outline OF what
| intended TO write. Then went care
fully at work and in the course of a
week l had my article finished. took

Said he: My son, this is very credita
Bile production, but | fear that it is too
long for newspaper. Surprising that
you take it and cut it down. just about
one half ] knew, of course, that the
article could not be perfect, and had
the greatest confidence in my fathers
Judgment, so | took the manuscript to
my room, and after three days again
brought it 10 him. Then said he:
'Chauncey, You have no idea how you
have improved this article. 1t is q
thousand times better than it was be-
fore. But still it is too long. Take it
to your room, my boy, and reduceit one
half. This was q sad blow to me, for
didn't see where | could spare single
phrase; but ] was determined to satisfy
him, and in the course Of a couple of
days brought the manuscript to him
for the third, and, as | hoped, the last
time. Father read it carefully through,
and then said in his peculiar, slow and
deliberate manner; Your work GER
tainly shows great improvement, and
should think that the manuscript is
nearly ready for the printer. There are
some things, however, which / wish
you would do. First, reduce it again to
about a quarter of column, and then
bring it to me. 1t may not need fur
ther reduction, and perhaps the editor
would be willing to print it. | made
up my mind that father intended to re-
duce me TO the bare headline, and then |
argue me out of that, so | stopped right |
there; but it was the best practice that
| ever had, for it taught me carefulness
and conden alton at the same time"
