The deacon explained the mat
ter as best he could, and the church
by vote decided that he should be
released without a reprimand, but
recommended that inasmuch as his
peculiar hat wouldno attract more
attention than eyer he should com
promise the matter by procuring q
new one.
The next Sunday the deacon's
new hat was the talk of the town.

There was a little pause. Then
one Of them broke the silence and
opened the conversation.

not?

Yes. l don't altogether like

No, nor the afternoon winds
"Aud it is sometimes a little toe

Why Deacon Bodkin Retained and
Why He Discarded His We'd
ding Hat.

Deacon Bodkin, says the Boston
Globe, is an old-fashioned man,
and clings tenaciously to an old
fashioned head covering. His
daughters have frequently urged
him to procure a modern silk hat,
and to lay aside the old style, bell
crowned beaver, but to no avail.
Goals" he would say, whenev-
err the subject was brought up,
"that ere's my weddin' hat. Your
mother picked it out herself, an |
couldn't think o goin' back on her,
you know. Now you mustn't
think that YOU know more than
your ma what is fashionable"
A few Sundays ago the deacon
went to church as usual. In the
evening lie attended a conference
meeting and sat in his usual place,
depositing his treasured hat care
fully on the floor in the aisle. A
short praise service opened the eX-
ercises, and the deacon was Justify
singing,
On Jordan's stormy banks | stand,
And cast a wistfpl eye,
with his head thrown back on his
shoulders, his eyes closed, and his
hands clasped over his capacious
abdomen. At that moment the
rustic Of a silken skirt was heard
ana Il fashionably attired lady
swept up the aisle. The deacon
opened one corner Of his "wlstful
eye," in order to take in the situa
ton. The silken skirt was provid
ed with a voluminOus train, and, a;
its occupant swept past, the dea
con, with the open corner Of hi'
eye, beheld his cherished hat roll
ing up the aisle in the wake of the
dress and its occupant. The dea
con had Just reached the line Of The
hymn
Where my possessions lie,
when he broke off abruptly, anC
made an energetic plunge to recov
er his hat. He alighted upon al
tours in the center OF the aisle, bu
Just as he thought the hat was IL
his grasp the silken train gave al
additional switch, and the hat follow
ed with an additional roll. Tn,
deacon followed the hat, still upol
all tours, but again it eluded him
and yet again and again. So in
tent was the deacon upon recover
ing his possessions that he wa
not in the least aware hat the at
tention ofthe entire congregation
vas attracted at the sight of the dig
nihed deacon following upon al
tours a richly dressed lady up tn
aisle, ever and anon ondeavoring t.
to grasp an antique hat, which a
often eluded him.
A church meeting was called tn
next week, at which the charge wa
brought against the deacon ofdraw
ing the attention of the young pee
pie from the solemnities of worshi
upon the Lords day.

A Great Disappointment


tel in Alabama, says NJ. Quad,
we were talking about how great
disappointments sometimes soured
a man. when Il chap who had been

around and said

"Well, that voice kept talking,
and | kept waiting, but in about 3
years l shouldered my rifle and
turned my steps this way, my mind

A Bright spot in n Dingy street.

tAHleflcan ASricultuf1St.l
Business took US, a few days ago, through
one Of those streets in New York city that
one never visits unless from necessity. 1t is
a crowded t~horoughfare where more than
one-half OF the shops are beer saloons and gin
mills, and the others devoted to junk dealing
and small trades. The upper part of the
houses are crowded tenements. One of the
dingiest of the buildings retained as "a relic of
former prosperity a narrow iron balcony,
running across the whole building, at the
windows Of the second door. This bal
cony was occupied by a box for its
whole length, perhaps twelve feet long and
about a foot wide and high. The box had
been filed with soil, upon which grnss seed
had been sown, and there were three young
trees of the Ailantus, one in the middle and
one at each end, forming, with the fresh
green of the grass and the tropical foliage OF
tho Ailantus, as pretty a piece OF "sub-tropi-
cal gardening" as can be imagined. This
green spot frightened up the street for "A long
distance, and afforded the eye "a refreshing
rest, after gazing upon the displays OF the
secondhand clothing stores. Whoever insti.
tuted that window box is a public benefactor,
and we thank him for the refreshing glimpse
Of balcony gardening lie afforded us.

And pious folks began to pass.
She deity tied her bonnet on,
The little, sober-meetlng lass,
And In her neat. white-curtained room, before
hertiny looking glass.
So nicely, round her lady cheeks,
She smoothed her bands Of glossy hair.
And lnnocently wondered II
Her bonnet did not make her fair -.
Then Sternly child her foolish heart for harbor-
ing such fancIes there.
So square sbo tied the satin strings,
And set the bows beneath the chin =
Then smiled 10 see how sweet she looked
Then thought her vanity a sin.
As she must put such thoughts away before the
the sermon should begin.
But, sitting meath the preached word,
Demurely In her fathers pew,
She thought about her bonnet still
Yes, all the parsons sermon through
About Its pretty bows and buds which better

Old people like 1t for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people lik 1t
because 1t prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandrutr away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like 1t
rs n dressing because it gives the hair a beau
tiful glossy lustre. and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus 1t Is the

because 1t d~isappolnts no one.

ALTHOUGH there are good many
men who would reasonably CONSOLE
date the Republican vote, Mr.. Blaine
IL the only one for whom there il q
positive popular enthusiasm. And al
though the friends Of other candidates
are trying to find comfort in the idea
that the Blaine boom IL temporary and
spasmodic, and has about spent its force
we cant see that 1t is on the wane to
any great extent. Indeed, on the con-
trary, 1t rises higher and higher and
gains in volume and intensity every
day. Ifhe is not nominated overwhelm
ingly on the first ballot, there must
be a radical revolution in the course of
events and that speedily. In the
States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Missouri, Blaine already has
lao votes where in 1880 he had but 40.
And he is the second choice of three
fourths Of the Logan delegates thus far
elected. 1t begins to look as If 1t
might be possible to nominate great
man for President Of the United States.
