On the road between Bridgeport and Trum-
bull is house which is minus front stoop.
and the sill of the front door is several feet
above the ground. This lacking stoop has a
history. When the house was built, it had
stone steps which led up to the front door,
A few years ago a man driving by the house,
seeing the steps, thought he would like to
procure some similar to them. He offered
tine owner of the house a fair price for them,
which was accepted, and the steps were carted
away. The owner Of the house loves money,
and it is said that rather than go to the ex-
pense of putting up another stoop, he has
since used the back door of his house ex-

Conspicuous Dress.
New York Evening Post.


AS the cad or the dude among men in this
country is being apart, an excrescence, a
typical exception, for whom neither the
Creator nor any institute or law or outcome
of rational society is responsible, so also
among women the genus has no accepted
place with her sisters save as an unseemly
growth and development of inane vanity,
of crazed eccentricities of mode and manner
and apparel, for which she alone and not
her sex, must be held accountable. No
woman of good sense, be she rich or poor, or
moving on the top wave or along the under
current of society, can regard with other
than feelings of pity or disgust any wide de-
parture in dress or behavior from prevalent
methods and requirements. If Il woman
chooses to appear on the street with golden
ornament pendant from her nose, or wear
ing fantastic dress that fits
her form from head to foot with
painful snugness" or with her naturally
black or auburn hair bleached to the shade
of the sunhower, whirling cane, and by her
unabashed manners and self-conscious car
riage bidding for the public gaze and fishing
for notoriety, it IS not quite the fair or hon
est thing for foreign cynics or domestic
woman-haters to write her down as a full
blown specimen of the American woman of
the period. fashionable woman from the
Society of the Friendly Islands, solely habited
in square, capacious, birch-bark blanket,
bespangled with untranslatable hieroglyph-
les, might as we'll and as reasonably be
paraded as representative woman of the
day. as to make of the female dude a truth
full picture of the dress and adornments of
the mothers and daughters of our country.
Fashion in our day is to the last degree &C
commodating But common-sense men and
women draw the line at male or female
dudes, and give wide space to the whole FAM

Many amusing incidents happen daily, and
those who have been blessed with a keen
sense of the ludIcrous enjoy these little bits
of humor very much. Standing behind an
easel on which had been drawn a mask of an
ugly, bald-headed man, with the following
inscription written beneath. in fun-"Elijah,
taken from an old portrait painted by
Moses"-we hear the following conversations:

Do You Think to Pray?


Ere you left Your room this morning
DID you think 20 pray3
In the name OF Christ, our Saviour,
Did you sue for loving favor
AS a shield to-dayl
When you met with great temptations
Did you think to prayR
BY his dying love and merit
Did you claim his Holy Spirit
As your guide and stayf
When your heart was slled with anger
Did you think to pray2
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your wayi
When sore trials came upon you
Did you think to prayl
When your soul was bowed with sorrow
Balm of Giead did you borrow
AT the gates of dayf

Of course, 1 know Moses did not paint the por-
trait, for Moses did not know how to paint;
but was the cast taken from Elijahs head?'
As casts of heads are generally taken after
death, and as Elijah was translated before
death, this was problem entirely too hard
TO be solved by an art student.

One was fragile, and pale and fair.
With golden lights in her silken hair;
One was gay, with a careless grace
That lent its beauty to form and face;
One had eyes of tender blue,
With sweet Thoughts gliding through and
through;
One was slender and 1.-THE and bold,
child OF the warlike captains OLD;
One was low brnwed and dark and strong,
With locks unfettered, and black and long.
They were all friends, and the sefsame day
Their barques dropped seward and bore away
Five young spirits with hopes unfurled,
Five bright dreamers to meet the world.
One is lying with silent feet
Where the setting sun and the daylight meet;
Twice ten times have the viOlets sown
Their seed of tears on the grave of one;
One met death in the haunts of pain,
And her souls went forth in joyous strain;
One went down in an ocean storm,
She OF the courage grand and warm;
One was eager and stern and strong,
But strength and Will have been passive long.
The eye unda nnted is dim to-day,
And the locks unfettered are thin and gray.
Four have written their records down,
Four are wearing the laurel crown.
One looks back through mist of tears
On the dust and ashes of thirty years.

II have just had curious caller-an Epis-

not Join some evangelical church. SO that
when l came to die nobody should say that

Unitarian In belief 1 knew no
object. of worship except the one

which the movements of the material and
moral world could be regulated, and that

mankind. He politely said that he perceived

Moody and Sankey's Incendiary Hymns.
London Daily News.


copy of Moody and Sankey's volume of
hymns lately reached one of the Turkish
postoffices in Armenia, to the address of an
American missionary. OF late the imperial
restrictions on the importation of foreign
literature, as well as on the printing press
have become more stringent than ever; so, as
a matter of course Moody and Sankey must
pass under the eagle eye of Bukhsheesh
Effendi, the Governor-generals factotum,
who knows few words of English. He
was all the sharper on this occasion
because be had very recently passed
by inadvertence a book consisting of
letters from one of the New York papers, the
author of which roundly denounced the mis-
government he had witnessed in Armenia
during the campaign of 1877. And this vol
ume was addressed to the same quarter as
the present hymn-book. Dogs" exclaimed
Bukhsheesh Effendi, as he turned over the
leaves. Hold the Fortr What fort?
Treachery, as livel May satan seize them!"
They were patriotic songs for the use OF the
Armenians, those hymns, and the musical
notation proved it; and that particular song
Hold the Fort" must have reference to an
intended insurrection. So Hold the Fort'
was cnt out by order of Bukhsheesh, and the
expurgated volume sent TO its destination.
