Rested Her Head.

There was social gathering at a
Rockland house the other evening, and
among those present was q young man
from Boston, who had come down for
a season to rest his intellect, and du-
ring the evening he corraled pretty
girl in one corner of the room and laid
himself out to talk her dizzy and inn
press her with a becoming sense of his
superior style. He ratified along for an
hour or two about himself, the girl now
and then improving an opportunity to
put in monosyllable, and theSyoung
man thought she was getting tolerably
awed, when the father bore down on
the pair and anxiously exclaimed:
''See here, Maria, you must be care
ful-you really must. Remember that
you've been sick for fortnight, and
the doctor said that if you came here
tonight you must make no effort at all
You must keep your head rested"
"Pa, dear" returned the pretty girl
demurely, 'don't worry. am not ex-
erting myself at all. / have been talk
ing with Mr.. Beacon. My head feels
nicely rested"
And the young man from Boston soon
after excused himself, and went up
stairs into dark room and leaned his
head against window pane and tried
to think. .--Rockland Courier.

Ben's Persuader.

A Houston (Tex.) correspondent tells
the following story of Ben Thompson,
the Texas desperate, recently killed at
San Antonio:
When Ben was City Marshal of Aus
tin an advertising agent was seen by
him painting an advertisement of some
patent medicine on the outside of a
corner grocery. Ben having been in
formed that the man had not first OBJ
tanned the owners consent ordered him
to erase it Immediately.
The painter protested that he had
permission to paint the sign, but Ben
was not to be trifled with. Drawing
forth his 'six'' he thundered, Five
minutes to take it off. "
And it was off before five minutes
had expired.
About the time the painter finished
erasing his work the owner of the store
appeared, and, seeing the situation of
Things, informed Thompson that the
advertiser had obtained his consent to
paint the sign. ...
Thompson apologized to the man of
paint and told him he might repaint the
sign.
The fellow said he believed he didn't
care to.
Again came forth Ben's deadly weap-
on as he said:
"Five minutes to put it up again"
And he put it up.

A wedding Tour in a Canoe.

Down the historic tide of Lake
Champlain. in the early days OF sum-
mer that is to be. viii float the frailest,
fairyest, strangest bark that was ever
launched on the crystal waters. 1t
will be bridal canoe, fitted with sails
of silk, with nickel-plated paddles and
mast, and costing not less than Loco.
In it young American gentleman of
wealth and leisure and his lovely bride
will make their bridal tour. The canoe
is TO be what is known as q shadow"
having keel-board and mast, so that
the happy voyagers can spread their
dainty sail and glide along unwearied
by the tolls of oar or paddle. They
will embark at River Park, on the Hud-
son river, sail up that noble stream to
Troy, where they will make portage
to Lake George, and thence, with q
short portage over the dam at Ticon-
deroga, enter Lake Champlain and
court the summer breeze, with prov
pointed for the queen city of the lake.
Every evening they will spread their
tent on the grassy slope of some lake
side grove, and while the jeweled fin
gers Of the beautiful bride gather drift
wood for the vesper of fire, the young
husband will make his way to the near
est farmhouse and dicker with the Ad-
olson county farmer reggs and milk.
The exact date of their arrival at the
Queen city has not been announced,
aad will probably be dependent in
large measure upon the kindness of the
weather clerk and the direction of the
wind. Should st. Adams still be in ex-
istence by the time they reach the city,
they will provision their craft at our
grocery stores, and cruise among the
islands of that unfortunate hamlet,
where they will stow their canoe aboard
palace-car and steer for the headwa-
ters of the Connecticut Down that
beautiful river they will float at their
leisure, contracting sunburn, muscle
and health, and when finally they
emerge in the blue waters of the sound,
they will have their canoe put on the
deck of one of the steamers plying be-
tween Hartford and New York and so
return to the metropolis of the western
continent.-BarIington (N.) Free Press.
