SHE HAD FOUND HRM.

A pretty young mamma, with little
girl by her side nearly as pretty as her.
self, was being entertained by male
stranger, who had struck up an acquain-
taace through the usual and always con-
venient mediumship of the little girl.
The stranger did all the talking. He was
one of these men who think they know
everything, but only rarely get good
chance to tell it. The lady answered
only in monosyllables. The little girl
listened patiently and demurely for a
time, and then began to fidget around in
her seat. Finally, as the stranger stop
ped for breath, she said:
"Mamma, you've found one, amt
you ?"
What, my dear?"
Why don't you remember what you
told papa when he said you'd be lone
some on the cars? You said you'd find
some bore to talk you to Sleep
Mamma looked out of the window and
the stranger suddenly thought he had
better go into the smoking car to find
his friend.

SHE GAVE HIM TIME

A drummer struck up an acquaintance
with Boston girl on train that was
snow-bound during the recent blockade.
The car was cold and the young lady sat
with her hands in her muff. With that
gentle and persistent delicacy in such
matters for which the male sex, and
drummers in particular, are noted, he
managed to get one of his hands into the
muff along with hers.

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, MAY a. 1885.


Has any one seen my Fair?
has any one seen my Dear?
Dould any one tell me where
And whittier she went from here?
The road is winding and long,
With many turn and twist,
ana one could easy 90 wrong,
Or e'er one could think or list.
How should one know my Fair,
And how should one know my Dear?
Ny the dazzle of sunlight hair
That smites like golden spear;
By the eyes that say Beware!
BY the smile that beckons you near;
This is to know my Fair,
This is to know my Dear.
Rough and bitter as gall,
The voice that suddenly comes
Over the windy wall
Where the fishermen have their homes!
"Ay, ay, we know full well
The way your fair one went;
She led by the ways of Hell,
And into the torment sent
The boldest and bravest here,
Who knew not guilt nor guile,
Who knew not shadow Of fear,
Till he followed that beckoning smile
Now would you find your Fair?
Now would you find your Dear?
Go turn and follow her where
Aud whittier she went from here
Along by the winding path
That leads by the old sea wall;
The wind blows wild with wrath,
And one could easily fall
From over the rampant there,
If one should step too near,
10 look for the sunlight hair
That smites like golden spear "

A kind faced old man and a sharp fea.
tured woman OF perhaps fifty years at.
tracted some attention at the Michigan
Central depot last evening. She seemed
very talkative, and inclined to enter in.
to conversation with anybody who would
listen. After little she cornered poor
little woman whose seven or eight chill.
dren kept her pretty busy, and said:
"Do you know where we're from, mis-
sus? No, Of course you don't. Well, we
are from Utah, and this here old man
| (grabbing the kind faced old gentleman
by the army is brand plucked from the
burning. Just let me tell you about
him."
The old man colored up, and waving
his hand deprecatingly, said:
"Don't say anything about it, Sarah.
Keep it to yourself"
"Pll show you who'll keep it to herself,
Josiah Vetter. When get back to Tru.
mansburg I'll shout it from the house
tops. You see if don't. Now, you
keep still till have had my say"
Then turning to the little woman who
tried to get away, she said /: .Just YOU

Utah five years ago to settle, and not q
word did | hear about polygamy or any

that Josiah had some sort of hankerine
after the Mormon religion, but just let
him alone until one day bishop came to
nae and says that Josiah had intimated
desire to take a second wife, and that he
trusted | would give my consent and
have things all peaceable."
II had a washboard in my hand when
that remark was made, and I broke it
over the bishops head the first clip. Not
much, says l. when Josiah Vetter
marries a second wife it will be when I'm
decently buried. Not much, mister bish-
op.' So he limped off, and pretty soon,
when Josiah came around, says to him
: You and | are going back to Trumans-
burg by the first train II I'd licked
him then our departure would have been
delayed. He'll hear from me when we
get home. He will tell you that he
hustled to get ready and 80 did l."
AS she paused to get breath Josiah
said courteously: "What's the use of
telling everybody, Sarah? Let's keep it
to ourselves"
Not another word out of your head"
said the woman. "I'm going to do the talk
ing in this family from this time forth,
and don't you forget it."

A San Antonio darkey was on trial for
stealing money from house on Soledad
street. Julian Van Slyck, the attorney
for the prisoner, in his address to the ju-
ry, said: Gentleman my client is a
poor man. He was driven by hunger
and want to take the small sum of mon
ey. All that he wanted was sufficient
money to buy bread, for it is in evidence
that he did not take the pocketbook con-
tanning $500 that was in the same bureau
drawer If he was a professional thief,
he would have certainly taken the pock-
etbook." The eloquent attorney for the
accused was interrupted by the convul.
sive sobs of his client. "Why do you
weep!' asked Judge Noonan who was on
the bench. " Because | didn't see dat
or pocketbook in the bureau drawer" was
the reply. Everybody laughed except
