The ScOld.

In view of the fact that scoldin0 is
such an unenviable accomplishment,
Ind one so easily acquired. it is odd that
anybody should take credit 10 herself
Tor vocation in that direction, and yet
we sometimes hear people boasting
IbOut their ability 10 give certain
friends or iOcs a p ece Oi their min
calculated to stagger them, as if one re-
puired a spec al genius for the task
EEich any fish-wi e is competent to per-
lJrm TO her infinite satisfaction. Who.
Indeed. has rot met those who alb
solutely plume Themselves uron Their
powers OF scOlding. and do not allow
them to grow rusty for lack of use?
There are mothers whose children live
in constant d cad Of prolonged repri-
mand if any little accident happens TO
their clothing, although we are warned
by the sage that scolding tends to make
\ child sly and irritable. and prefer any
place before home. 1t is lamentable
fact that when We III nk of the scold it
is always as feminine noun: whether
il is that man d sciplines himself to
make the best Of inevitable annoyances
ra'her than rail against them, or
nature and his .nteres in lager pur-
suits, the trliles which irritate the
sensit We feminine world have no effect
upon his toughencd cuticle. it is difficult
to decide. We would naturally
suppose that the .old would possess q
strong ply sique: that one who was for
ever kicking against the pricks would
need muscle and nerve for such ener-
getic existence; but as we o ten find
her an invalid, or one who has added
that role to her other accomplishments,
and who e\horts from her comfortable
couch with he str myth Of ten. She is
confined TO no class of society, but may
be met with in hovel or palace. Docs

She invcighs against the wind at thn

the lack of it in The valleys below. She
is ingenious in finding cause for exer-
cising her ''free speech;' her neighbOrs.
her friends, her servants, enjoy the ben
ciit of her lIberality in that respect.
Indeed. she would cease to be happy if
there were nothing to rail agrinst, as if
such a state OF things were owing to
some neglect If duty on her part.
Nothing is too high or too common to
escape her oratory, and, although she
may not be called conversatOnalist,
nor remind us of Madame De Stael
or Margaret Fuller, ytt,when she warm,
to the occasion, it is doubtful if either
of these could rival her. Harper'S

A Dangerous Quarter Of LONDON.

On the third of last month. at about
six O'Clock, as l was returning home
from my office at Whitehall, and had
Just passed a small a's>y in High street.
St Giles, halfway between st. Giles
Church and Tottenham Court Road, a
fellow. coming toward me, snatched
my watch-chain (an; Albert and ran
down the alley. I instantly turned
round, and followed him down the
alley, calling out Stop thief Two
Young fellows were coming down the
alley toward the thief and myself. and
might have stopped him at once, but
they made room for him to pass, and
then spread themselves out, arm in
arm, to hinder me, but did not attempt
any violence. upset enc of them and
got past, but it gave the thief time to
Increase his lead, and. ter keeping
him in sight for two or three turnings,
l finally lost him in the maze of small
alleys behind st. Giles Church. l
found policeman. after some trouble,
near the Seven Dials, and then gave in
formation at Bow Street Station. OF
course, have not heard anything OF
my chain. There is a comic side to al
most all misfortunes. have said that
l only lost my chain, but was SO firm
ly convinced that my watch was gone.
also, that did not investigate the con-
tents of my watch-pocket after the af-
fair, but racked my brains to give an
accurate description at the police sta
tion of the old-fashioned gold watch
which l thought l had lost forever.
My joy may be imagined when, on
nearing home, from pure habit l put
my hand to my wsrch-pocket to ascer-
tain how near it was to dinner time,
and found there. safe and sound. my
dear old friend and companion. The
tug had been so violent that the ring
attaching the chain to the watch had
given way. leaving the watch behind.
The moral Of all this is, not to walk
about London with your coat not hut-
toned up Cor. London Times.
