The Charity of Vice.

1t does make some difference who
hurls these epithe,s and continues for
20 years to follow a man for some old
sore. l remember Bret Harte, the story
teller, telling mo that after he published
his first successful story multitudes OF
enemies sprang up around him and filled
tho papers with comments on the i'm
morality Of his matter. His first success
full piece was "The Luck OF Roaring
Camp" describing the baby of cast
away woman which was adopted by the
camp. The treatment of the story none
could assail in point of charming style
and poeiical Insight and touch. The
very fact that he had proved himself TO
be Q master made these unseen enemies,
who lie around every bright mans path,
redouble all their exertions ON the bad
morality Of the baby of castaway lie
said the tiercest of these articles was
Published IN paper where he had once
set type, and he protested to the editor,
who was his friend, and said that that
man must be very violent enemy.
"Why," said his friend, ait is not man
at all; q woman has been writing those
attacks on you. She keeps table at II
charity entertainment given by the
ultra. .fashionables, and will walk
through with you this evening and point
her out" When Harte stood abreast
of the woman he was astonished to find
it was ONE he had known in his wilder
.peuth, when she was unmarried and
had bestowed her fondness upon him,
She recognized him at once, and stood
ready to meet him with scorn. She had
married rich and prominent person,
and, aware that he knew Of her lapses
from grace, had lated him with that
extraordinary hate tho VIII have
sinned themselves express for those who

A Cheap Hotel.

Three Of us walked into the Office OF a

night, and when the landlord had been
aroused from his nap behind the stove, a
big dog kicked off the only bench in the
room, and the smoking lanp turned up

sizcd us mp and said:

other for q long minute, and 1t was the
landlord who spoke first. He said

sorry. and that's all | can do. FL light

A Celestial Tramp.

The Chinaman in New York is never
out at the elbows He usually wears II
staid and contented expression of coun.
tenance. as though he were ON the best
terms with the current coin OF the coun.
try. But last evening one was observed
walking along Sixth avenue, in the midst
of the snow and rain, who had lost all
sickness except that which the storm
had given him by saturating his clothing
He was ragged and absolutely forlorn.
He was walking on the uppers of his san
dals and covered his hands carefully in
the tattered folds OF his sleeves But it
was not for long. A liquor store confront
ed him and ON his right flank there WIS a
row of kegs. He eyed them wistfully
for moment and then giided across the
slippery pavement toward them. He
drew one OF his hands from his sleeve
and with it came an ancient tomato can.
He tipped key in the most approved
fashion. received the dregs i'll his can,
and stole into the area OF II house in an
adjoining street to regale himself in
peace. He was Chinese tramp; he
had fallen into the wicked ways of his
American brother.
