The Old Un's Escape.
Detroit Free Press.

A Wolf who had grown old and could
no longer move about like a Farmers
Boy in front of Bundle Bee, saw with
Regret and Sorrow that his Son looked
upon him as Burden and wished him
Bounced out of the Cabinet. He was
one day wiping his fearful Eyes on a
Sheep-skin when the Son entered the
Cave and remarked:
Dear Father, how would you like to
take walk with me this ene day?'
'Do you really want me to?"
"Of COURSE do. Your health is very
dear to me, and have been Panied for
some days past to see how palo and care
worn you looked"
The Old Man felt as tickled as a hired
man with the Boss gone and both Oxen
too lame to Work. and the pair set out
with smiles galloping across their faces.
When they had penetrated the Forest a
long distance Lion suddenly appeared,
and the Son called out
"Iiing Of Beasts, have brought you a
Dinnerl Eat him and tally one for mel"
"Stayw roared the Lion "This chap
seems old and tough, and am not the
sort to eat poor meat when better can be
had. You are the dinner want to get

he trotted homewards alone, ''if it is sad

FROTH OF FASHIONS WAVE.
How some Children of Free Government
Ape the Lords of their Ancestors.

New York Letter,
Most of the wealthy society ladies have
hitherto contented themselves with half
livery for their coachmen and footmen
and white vests and swallow-tail coats for
the butter, but this winter more elabo-
rate costume has been introduced.
Hundreds of pairs of Partisan top-boots
have been imported for coachmen and
footmen, who have heretofore worn their
boots inside their trousers, and Mrs. Will
liam X. Vanderbilt has taken the lead in
putting her servant into full European
liyery-that is, the court costume,
breechcs, silk stockings, ample vest and
long, full coat of the shad-stomached va
riety and little linen picket under each
ear.
The many colors Of the French hunkey
are superseded by uniform claret, brok-
en- only by the white silk stocking 1
have never seen such heraldic frenzy as
prevails here now. Carriage doors have
suddenly blossomed out in bright colors
red and blue and green-lions, ram
pant, eagles flappant and field argent
with wattled gules and all sorts of cottises
and quarterings. Several old industries
have sprung into new life, founded on
this revival of the rage for escutcheons.
On Monday / called on a noted livery
tailor on Filth avenue who docs the
heavy business of the city. Americans
are rushing into livery as never before"
he said. His English eye twinkled as he
added:
II fear they are losing their solid dem
ocratic principles. Men who have de-
clared for years that they wouldn't have
any of this d. nonsense are dragged
here by their ambitious wives TO get
James and Thomas put in livery and the
family cerst engraved on the brass but
tons. New Workers who have made their
million dollars by large dealings in po-
tatoes, brass goods or oleomargarine
come here to find out how to dress their
servants and what their family crest is.
The father of the family knows that his
father was poor farmer in New Hamp-
shire or stage driver down in New Jer-
sey and that's all he knows about it. So
| tix them out with a crest. There was
man named Chirt who wanted a coat-of-
arms. couldn't find any such name, so
| sent it to England. where they equip
ped him with the coat-of-arms of Chirp.
1t will answer Just as well, and am sure
that Chirpis a livilier and more cheerful
name if they should ever find it out"

Lime-Kiln Club.

For the past four years this club has
faithfully and with child-like confidence
adopted and accepted the weather pre-
dictions of the Canadian Vennor, but the
back Of the camel has been bending for
a year past and needing but one straw
to break 1t. No one was greatly sur
prised, therefore, when Judge Chewso
arose and read the following preamble
and resolution through his nose:
Wharas, dis club has bin frozen when
1t should be thawed an thawed when it

have turned out to be meltin' days, an
his fair weather has bin buried in snow
storms now, darfore.
Besolved, Dat from an arter dis date
we no longer consult his predickshuns
nor be guided by his surmises.
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 1853 10 2, the negative members being
Elder Toots and Samuel Shin.
The secretary was then instructed TO
advertise in the daily papers of Detroit
for proposals for furnishing the Lime
Kiln club with straight weather for the

His eyes were dark and rather small
Ills nose WAS aquilinc.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
Ills coat had pocket holes behind,

Unharmed the sin which earth poliutes
He passed securely o'er,
And never wore pair OF boots .a. -
For thirty years or more. ~
But good old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's frown;
He wore double breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and dowr.

And pay 1t its desert;
He had 10 malice in his mind,
No ru1ss on his shirt. e. M
His neighbour he did not abuse,

And changed them every day '+a
His knowledge hid from public gaze
He did not bring to view,
Nor make noise t0wn-meeting days,
As many people do. T.
His worldly goods he never threw

Thus undsturbed BY anxious cares,
