The CoEstitutionsIIy Tired.



The subject of loafing is prolific one
if any person is inclined to treat it in
all of its bearings, but the Saunterer has
only space at this time to refer to the
number of haunts that the listiess and
idle have. They will invade the busiest
places, and occupy the time of all who
are good natured enough to listen to
their wretched dPibble. They are pre-
pared to criticise everybody and every
thing about them, and though the,
have been notorious failures in all they
have undertaken, owing to their indO-
lence, they are always ready to say how
much better they could do the work
which really industrious people are per
forming to the best of Their ability.
The ~aHnterer has often noticed that
apothecary shops are favorite lounging-
places for the c0nstitqtiOnally tired,
and he has wondered if the fatal mis-
takes that druggists some times make
are not the result of an attention dis
tracted by the remarks of some hanger
on, who has nothing to do but retail the
senseless gossip of the hour.

How can the tide of population be
turned back from the cities to the
farms, Tho economists have been dill
gently warning the country people
against the cities now these twenty
years; but in spite Of their celebrations,
the cities are constantly growing at the
expense Of the country districts. In
several Of our most prosperous cities
during the last winter, one-tenth of the
population received charitable aid from
city authorities and a considerable pro-
portion of those who were thus started
on the road TO paupeFism were formerly
living IN comfort iii country places. The
kno Wedge of this fact will not greatly
check the movement toward the cities.
The prospect of starvation does not
daunt those who are tired of the lonli-
ness of rural life and long for the stir
and contact of the densor populations.

The "a'ers of Sarato "a.

Cor. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.I
IL Is interesting to watch the people
about these springs. The newcomer
sips and grimaces, and looks about
shametacedly; others march up to the
spring, gulp down the desired quantity,
and glad that it is over, look around
happily On the fellows who have not
drank The lady of fashion settles with
her poodle, or husband, or maid, and
languidly sips, and is benefited, be-
cause lof dress is admired and shows
off well. In comes pretty young
southern girl, with her old black nanny
in tow. The rosy lips touch the spark
ling glass; her bright eyes and firm,
fresh cheeks, sparkle even more prettily.
She drains the glass, and turns with a
laue h to the old nurse, who has a glass
of water, and is trying, with many
shiverings and shakes of the head, and
rolling of the eyes, to please de dear
child"
Cripples come here, and men whose
fast life is marked in their faces as
plainly as are chalk sums on the black
board; women come, fashion dissipated,
haggard, ugly and fine. There is
shoddy, and arrogance, and ignorance;
but there is also modesty, intelligence
and beauty, to be found every day, any
day, by the waters of Sara toga.

and ease with which the gondolicr ma

Idea of attempting the feat myself
Nothing looked easier than to initiate
that swarthy Italian, to stand up on the
rear end of the gondoid, and dip the
oar IN and out of the water.

you couldn even learn to stand up here

factory smile.
"Ah, buono good, signore. | take

This was conSOling advice to a conf

me over to the IagOOns between the

dolieripg. As | have said, it looks to
be the easiest thing in the world. The

an oar-lock that stands up from the
deck q foot or eighteen inches. There
is nothing to hold the oar in the lock.

stroke when the oar flew out of that

gondolier for his timely warning and
advice. The knapsack traveller does not

it over again, and with the same result.

the conclusion that gondoliering was

myself and turned the oar over to1the

CHANGING FASHIONS IN FISH.

81 have noticed" said an old fish
dealer, that the tastes for various

able changes in the past few years.
Spanish mackerel, that was once an eX-
pensive luxury, and only to be found
at the best restaurants or on the tables
OF wealthy eplcuTes, can now be had in
any eating hose at prices very little
higher than those paid for ordinary
mackerel, and many, perhaps, prefer
the ordinary kind. Halibut, that used

Workers has certainly sunk into n sec
ond or third place. | can not very
readily account for this, because tho
halibut, coooeI in any of the recognized

A large woman apparently about 10
years of age, with wonderfully sweet
eyes, a massive brow, soft chestnut hair,
and features irregular and somewhat
masculine, but fairly illuminated by an
expression of intelligence and particu-
larly sympathetic sweetness. She was
richly dressed, with some disregard to
the details of fashion, but with an air
of dignified splendor in the materials,
as well as in the cut of her gown and
cloak, in the fashion of her hat,
and even in the exquisite and rare old
lace which fell about her neck and
wrists. | thought her the most strik
ing person | had ever seen Yet, who
could describe that inspired look
when she spoke, or give the peculiar
charm of her deep, melancholy eyes, in
which some times her rare sweet smile
fingered, deepening the kindly look,
yet never banishing that curious pathetic
expression.
