The Duke and the Dude.


The following story is told of an English
nobleman, recently deceased: The duke was
once in church when collection was an
nounced for some charitable object The
plate began to go round, and the duke care
fully put his hand into his pocket and took
out form, which he laid on the pew before
him. ready to be transferred to the plate.
Beside him sat q little snob, who, noticing
this action, initiated it by ostentatiously lay
ing a sovereign alongside the ducal form.
This was too much for his grace, who dipped
his hand into his pocket again and pulled out
another form, which he laid by the side of
the first. The little snob followed suit by
laying another sovereign beside the first His
grace quietly added a third form, which was
capped by Z third sovereign ON the part of
the little snob Out came fourth form to
swell the dukes donation, and then the little
snob triGmphantiy laid three sovereigns at
once upon the board. The duke, not to be
beaten, produced three forms Just at this
moment the plate arrived. The little snob
took up his handful Of sovereigns, ostenta-
tiously ratified them into the plate, and then
turned deiiantly toward his rival as if he
would say, 81 think that takes the shine out
of you" Fancy his chagrin when the duke
with a grim smile, put one form into the
plate and quietly swept the remaining six
back into his pocket.

OId-Tfme Letter Writing.
New York Tribunal


1t Is q common but unjust complaint that
cheap postage killed the art of letter writing.
In the last century the dispatch of an epistle
was an af'lir o. some moment The expense
Of the post was not to be incurred without
consideration; and since it was the receiver
OF the TniSslve who had to pay for it, every
gentleman who valued his reputation was
anxious that his friends should find his cor
respOndence worth the money. The knack of
composing an elegant and entertaining letter
was one of the first accomplishments de-
manded of a man Of y il and culture The
broad pages upon which he tzpended his
pains took the place, in some degree, which
has since been filed by the newspaper and
the magazine; every letter-writer tried
TO be an esSIyist, a chroaicIer OF
politics and business. q critic, a gossip
Hundrels o. volumes of private covresDon-
dance have been collected and printed in our
time, which rank with the most Va liable
materials TOR history and the most entertain
ing illustrations of the tastes, opinions and
manners of past generations; and no incon-
siderable rar5 of them possess besides posi-
tive literary quality. Ii is true that rs soon
SIS we go back to the fashionable era of letter
writing. to the time OF Walpole and Pope
We find ourselves IN the midst OF insincerity
and artShoe; but these were characteristics of
the society Of that day, and tbs letters would
not be pri1ed 50 highly as they ara If they
were not faithful reflections of the Life from
which they came.

waste Places in sIfchigau.

The burned regions of Michigan have been

Free Press. He says: every half mile
brings to view, as you sail on the Au Sable,
an open space in the forests many acres in
extent There are thick blackened tree
trunks on the ground, protTuding in all di-
rections from their shroud of green under

dead pine trees still standing in these open
areas, black around the roots, and reaching
as straight as dart a hundred feet in the
the air. These are the gaunt skeletons of
what once were splendid living pines, now
killed by the forest fires that periodically
sweep through the Michigan woodlands dur

President Arthur,s DoubIe.

New York Cor. n. o. Times Democrat.I
We have a New Yorker who resembles
President Arthur so closely as to be com
monty mistaken for him. The likeness has
existed for twenty years or more, and was a
subject of comment among the acquaintance
OF the two men when there was less social
difference between them than there is now
Bill Nathans was shoemaker, with a shop
of his own near the custom house, during the
years that Arthur, before appointment as
collector, held subordinate positions. They got
shaved in the same barber shop, SO Nathans
tells me. A change of proprietorship gave
the opportunity for q joke on the new
owners. Nathans went in TO have his face
slnoothed told his name in order to
identify his private cup, and, as it
was broken, talked about ordering another.
just outside of the door, he met Arthur.
They consulted briefly Arthur went in,
nodded Familiarity, and took his place in a
chair. The barber looked with surprise at
the customer who, apparently, was the same
man who had a minute before been under his
hands; but he had no time to make any COM
ment before Arthur said: GIVE got a cup
here-marked 'Nathans.' Don't you re-
member. You were speaking to me about
new one, yesterday"
Yesterday, sire" exclaimed the puzzled
barber, didn't 1 shave you right nowg'
81 haven't been in here since yesterday"
was the cool reply.
The barber was not total abstainer, and
had no good reason to trust his own mind i'm
phcitly. a barely-fnished spree made him
more than usually doubtful of his memory;
but he was thoroughly alarmed by mental
condition that seemed to deprive him of the
power to discriminate between two men in
one day. He shaved Arthur very thought
fully, and that evening went to temperance

Suffice it to say that at last zs:5s LirFipip
discovered not only that she could, but that
she actually did, love Horace Freake little,
and on the strength of that she promised to
marry him
Horace was in the act of presuming upon
this promise by kissing Lydia for the first
tlmes and was enjoying one of the happiest
moments Of his life, when another of those
furious ratattatats shook the house.
'Another! said Mr.. Freake, with SMILE
II shall go back to my retreat until we
know who has arrived, for now must be on
the spot to look after you" And in spite Of
Lydia's protestations, he once more retired
to the back drawing
Two minutes afterward the general, very
hot and very angry, stamped UP stairs
and burst into the presence of his
daughter. Everything has gone wrong!n
he exclaimed ''They voted me out
of the chair; they flew in my face;
they decided that the wretched for
eigners don't want cold baths.n And he
pounded with his stick, which he had brought
up with him, and looked at Lydia, as though
she were the cause of his discontinue.
"Well, papa" said Miss Lirripip, sooth-
ingly, " all the better Now you won't have
~ 81 W eli1J HOfC VI tutiH uOTIlu meetings..
At this JuIcture Horace, who was troubled
with slight cold, gave forth stihed and
enthusiastically small sneeze.
Lydia" cried the general, as he threw
himself YEARLY into an armchair, '1'm sure
there's cat in the back drawing room. Go
and turn it out. And Miss Lirripip, having
no alternative, went cautiously behind the
heavy curtains, and was there receivedin her
lovers arms.
"You cannot speak to him tonight" she
whispered He would not listen to you.
You see how cross he is. Come again to-
morrow"
Horace. therefore silently took another kiss:
and Lydia, having unlocked the little-used
door OF the back room, chased him, with
many EXPRESSIONS of animosity, down the
soEtly-caTl1 tied staircase, and with a.cry of
''Shoo, cat" finally let him out of the front
door.
When she returned to the drawing-room.

presslons of hostility toward the entire feline
tribe, and when he had thus delivered him.
self went off to bed.
How TIE story ended may easily be guessed.
When Lydia's father was in a cooler mood.
Horace found no difficulty in obtaining his
consent to the marriage which took place
three months afterwards; and to the end Of
their days. neither Sir Pertinax Popiniay nor
Mi. Merton Murley had any idea that third
person was present when they proposed to
