A RIGHTEOUS RETRT-
BUTTON.

"Miriam Green, l am astonished -
said Aunt Jane.
"Oh, but, Aunt Jane, I couldn't help
it !" said Miriam, laughing.
But, at the same time. she cOlored
very red, and hung down her pretty
head.
There was no denying this offense.
1t was patent to all the world-or. at
least, to all that part Of it who might
happen to be on the edge Of Raven
Woods.
There was Miriam Green up in the
top of the old oak tree, which reared
its proud crest, an Absalom among its
gold-leaved brethern, her curls all tan.
gled, her apron filled with treasures of
dark-green mistletoe. There was Aunt
Jane, standing in the little. open clear
ing, with hands uplifted. eyes opened
in the widest of Disappearing glares,
and sunbonnet fallen over backward on
her shoulders.
Your frock's all torn - enunciated
the old lady.
II can easily mend it again"
"And your hair blown into a tam
gle."
"Oh. Aunt Jane, that is nothing ="
pleaded Miriam.
But the old lady would listen to 10
argument.
"You were sixteen yesterday" said
she. "You are ole enough to know
better. And you shall be made to
know better I will punish you for
this piece of inexcusable hoydenism -
Miriam's blue eyes grew big.
Surely Aunt Jane couldn't shake her,
or shut her up in the garret with a
page Of "Watt's Hymns" to learn, or
worst alternative of all-put her on
short allowance of apple pie at din
ner.
For pretty Miriam was still child E.
nongh to regard any of these occurren-
ces as a serious misfortune, and one
greatly to be deprecated.
But while she was yet in the agOnies
of apprehension, ths question was de.
linitely determined by Aunt James i'd
vanclng to the foot of the oak-tree and
pulling away the ladder that had serv-
ed as a means to reach the fist bougI,
ragged mass Of foliage some twenty
feet up from the Ioots. Below that,
| the trunk extended down as perpendic-
ular and free of side growth as y tele
graph pole.
''There - said Aunt Jane "si1ce you
were so anxious TO climb the tree after
mistletOe, you may remain there and
think it over at your leisure. l will
come back this evening and put back
the ladder"
Miriam uttered a little cry.
"Please. Aunt Jane, don't go off ~
she appealed, "I'll never do so any
more. Please forgive me, just this
once !"
But Aunt Jane was inexorable.
With slow majesty, she strobe out OF
the opening and was gone, even while
Mriam's piteous voice quivered On the
air.
There she sat perehed on a horizon.

Varieties of 3eggars.

Each city has its own style. The
Venetian child is noted for persistence
in simple asking with a whine. The
Florentine has quite as great staying
quantities, with a more artistic whine
and more eloquence in his tone, and
can show sores to better advantage
than the others. The Florentine is an
artistic yagabond who begs by rule.
He makes no mistakes. He is got up
with special reference to begging, and
he is as keen at it as a Wall street
broker is at his trade He looks hun
CRY, he acts hungry, he shivers as
naturally as though he was perishing
with cold and when you pass by with
out responding to his appeal he looks
at you with rcproachful eyes half full
of tears, as though you had commit
ted the unpardonablesin Of which he
was the victim.
The Roman beggar attempts to
wheedle you out of copper by sheer,
good-natured impudence. He will
commence with a whine of famine, but
being looked squarely in the face will
abandon the role of the starving suif-
erer and take on that of the buffoon
He will limp and whine for minute
and then burst out into a laugh and
then turn a handspring He follows
you as long as either of the others,
and is quite as annoying, but he does
it in different way.
The Roman beggar has, ii must be
confessed, a certain financial ability
which cannot be too much admired.
He never begs of an Italian, for he
knows it avail him nothing, the
etiquette being as it was in the old
days of highway robbery in England,
the highwayman never stopping one
of his profession. The farthest they
go in this with each other is, the beg
gar will come into restaurant where
an italian is taking an econom-
ical breakfast on coffee and bread, and
modestly ask for what sugar he does
not use in his colfee.In restaurants so
many Jumps Of sugar are given for
each portion of coffee, and it is the
regular thing to put any surplus
there may be in the pocket. AS this
is inconvenient the good-natured man
will give the extra Jumps to the for
tunatc beggar who may happen in at
the right time. Two or three Jumps
of sugar is quite find for these pick
ers-up of unconsidered triaes, and by
haunting the cafes all the morning,
and from 4 in the afternoon very
fair living is obtained.

Letcher county, gave information OF
4 very Warlike safe of affairs at
Whitesburg, which town is being

fight is imminent. Judge Finlay, OF
Williamsburg, the famous mountain
jurist, is Judge of this circuit and for

of the threat made by one Of the most
desperate men in the county to XIII

this man fell a; victim to the prevail

Finley again went to Letcher. At
this term of the Letcher court, a man
was to be tried for murder. He was
out on bail, and his friends, all men
Of the same desperate stripe as the
murderer, determined that he should
not be punished. The case was set
for Wednesday, and on that day the
accused came marching into town

and a belt full of revolyers, followed
by a score of his frien IS, who were
armed to the teeth. The arrival 0f
the murderer and his armed band
was followed almost Immediately by
another OF the same size and all ca r.

to keep their foes out; while the cltl-

The party composed of the murder

now TO BE GOOD.

Come here, my pretty little girl,
With hair half banged and half in curl,
Raise up to me those Luscious eyes,
So blue, so lucid and so wise,
And learn of me what's understood
by being bad and being good.
AT table, ask not greedily
For every article you see.
When told that it is time for bed
Dom pout your lips and hang your head,
And, before all the guests have gone,
Don't air the household skeleton.
If sister chance to have beau,
It's wrong to hide his hat, you know;
TITS also wrong to place pin
On chairs he haply may sit in;
And, in debate, you should not touch
On corsets, crinolincs and such.
You should not speak to your mamma
OF all the doings of papa,
Nor say you can not understand
Why he should hold the nurses hand;
Such spceulations, little girl,
Have set staid households in a whirl.
In fact, there arc so many things
You must not do; such wonderings
That, all alone, you must think ous,
That twill be best without IA doubt
While you remain go very young
To sit quite still and hold your tongue.
