SIN THE GLOAMING."
The Sad Havoc Wrought by One Line of n
Song.

1t is sinRularly unfortunate when a
person knows only the first two or three
lines of as many pretty songs. 1t is
not only a misfortune to the individual
thus afflicted, but it is a dire calamity to
the immediate family circle of which he
or she may be an integral part. If, on
the other hand, he or she-mostly She
happens to be clearinghouse fend and
does not enjoy the pleasure of being one
OF happy home circle, it may be given
as an excuse that they have grievance
and adopt this method of wreaking a
prolonged and insuferable vengeance
upon humanity in general. Possibly
this is the most aesthetic mode of get
ting even with the world. The most
aggravated case of the kind, and one
that came directly under the patient at
tention of the writer, is that of a young
lady who possesses a really musical
voice. She belongs to the two-line-
repertoire band of vocalists. But of
her fayorite song she seems to know
only one line, and that is, Gin the
cleaning, oh, my darling" There is a
tender pathos, a delicate and finished
expression to her rendition of this line.
She begins it with the robust vigor that
such an artist as Nine. Nilsson might
exhibit, and ends with warm pervad-
ing tenderness, as she isps the last
word, that was proud characteristic of
the Swedish nightingale's melodious
voice. On hearing her for the first
time one takes it for granted that he is
about to be treated to a grand volun-
tary, and, approaching the magnanim-
ity of the artist, prepares to listen.
But his disappointment is incurable
when he hears her pronounce the last
words, 'Oh, my darling p with delight
full rapture and lingering sweetness.
That settles it. He will hear no more,
at least, until she commences at the be-
ginning again and gives q repetition of
the first. The force of habit has grown
on the young lady SO that she will
burst out on any occasion, and, when
those around her are least expecting it,
with SIN the cleaning" etc. But the
most serious break of this charming
monomaniac occurred at the last prayer
meeting of the chnrch organization to
which she belongs. This being popu-
lar church, all OF its meetings are well
attended. At the meeting referred to
the good people had nearly completed
their devotions, and the first line of
beautiful old hymn was given out, the
congregation arose reverently, and while
they were adjusting their mouths for
good start, there foated out in clear ac-
cents, GIN the cleaning, oh, my dar-
ling p The minister looked like. a ma
terialized spirit, the congre cation was
paralyzed, and the young lady, seeing
grim disaster leering at her from every
quarter, tainted. She is now cut of
danger, but cannot be seen even by her
most intimate friends.

Romantic but Real.

A letter from. Worth, Ga, says:
Thirty-three years ago, when the CAL
ifornia gold fever was at its height, there
lived in this county young man named
Wilson, who had a pretty young wife
and child. A quarrel between the
couple caused the husband to go to Cal
ifornia. A few years later it was au-
nnnncad that he was dead. The widow
remarked and the grave in California
was forgotten. Last week there arrived
in Worth a gentleman about fifty-fi7e
years of age, evidently man of means,
who began in9uiring about the old fam
lilies. 1t was the long-absent husband.
who was appointed Commissioner for
California at the New Orleans Expo
sition, and who was anxious to make up
with his wife. He found his son, who
is married and the father of family,
and has furnished them means to join
him in California, where it is said he is
a millionaire. Mr.. Wilson continued Old
his way to New Orleans.

Now 1t is the Cologne Bottle.

A New York letter writer says that at

a discovery that he has been trembling

ferent places lately an overpowering

it as sort of restorative to snuff at dur

Jumps of loaf sugar, on which cologne
was dropped from little tube in the
corner, and then they sat and munched
it, getting as jolly fuddled on Jean
Maria Farina as their escorts were at the
bar outside.

seemed in q sort of daze. similar to that

source of their indisposit'on is derived
from cologne and lamp sugar. I'd like

A Norther.

An old Texan being asked by q
stranger to describe a norther said.
"Ill tell you what it is, stranger. a
norther puts in the quickest work of
anything you ever saw. You see that
lake down there (pointing to beautifnI
Jake about mile distant), last spring in
the latter part of March, l was fishing
in the afternoon; the sun was shining
and it was as warm almost as the middle
of summer. The fish were jumping mn
all over the lake, and they were biting
splendidly. A shade came suddenly
over the lake, and thought I smelt a
strange smell that often precedes a
norther. l Immediately turned away
from the lake and looked toward the
northwest, and saw small dark cloud
passing like lightning and knew must
hurry home. After looking q short time
at the cloud l turned and looked at the
lake, when, to my establishment. the
lake was frozen over and many fish were
lying on top of the ice. The fish had
jumped up, and the lake had frozen over
so quick they could not get back.
Stranger, maybe you think that is
stretching things little, but Ill tell Won
norther can beat anything but light
ning, and it can hurry that up nightly"

known that had they insisted on voting the
defendants guilty it would not have resulted
in their conviction, but it would have secured
another trial, in which something like

had. Another inexpicable thing in connection

eight indictments returned by the grand jury,
not one was made to hold good-a case prob

THE New York World continues to cry
aloud for somebody to come and help the
Democratic party out of the quagmire into
which it has recklessly run Published in a
great business and industrial city, the World
has gumption enough to see that the hostile
attitude the party has assumed toward the
tariff in the interest of free trade is not only
dangerous, but is absolutely certain to bring
defeat in 1884. 1t calls Justify and piteously
upon the leaders of the party to stop their
Quixotic assaults upon the tariff, and to turn
their attention to some other issue. The
World says:
'fMany earnest, faithful and honest Demo
Gratis insist on agitating tariff revision, and
talk about the want of courage on the part
of those who recognize the absurdity and i'm
policy of wasting time over an impossibility.
'1t is not want of courage to refuse to
dash out your brains against a stone wall. 1t
is want OF common sense to try the expert
ment.

rison and Watterson continue to dominate the

we can say to these distressed New York Dem
ocrats is to repeat the words of Mr.. Watterson;

or nothing. The Democratic party will make
a free-trade fight in 1884. Any Democrat
who cannot stand it must pack up and get
out" Right about, face, Messrs. Dana and

delivered by Rev. c. S. Smith (colored) of

ton:
''On this night of the twentieth anniversary

can soil in this presence in this great city of
a still greater Commonwealth, where reposes
in eternal quietude the brain that thought out
the great emancipation act, and in deathless
inactivity the hand that signed it and sent it
forth, and with upward glance toward the far
off ethereal climes where the soul that breathed
into that instrument the fire and energy of
his own undying love of liberty is at peace
and rest, l demand of this nation to see to it
that the unrivaled tragedy of civil war, en-
acted at cost of billions of treasure and rivers
of blood, shall not end i'll farce, but in its
primal results and subsequent enactments
shall endure forever the heritage and inspia-
ton of all the people in every section and in
every nook of our vast domain. 70 be salts
fed with anything less than this will be to
pour contempt upon the loyalty bravery, and
heroism of the nations defenders and saviors,
white and black who answered to the roll-call
of death upon the smoking fields of battle, and
whose glittering bayonets have become the
jewels that adorn their tents ON falne's eternal
heights" 'a'' .a.ooe
