"Be You a Lady ?"

As a young lady walked hurridly down
State street on 81 bleak November day,
her attention was attracted to defOrm-
ed boy coming toward heI carrying sew
eral bundles. He was thinly clad, twist
ed his limbs most strangely as he walked
and looked before him with vacant
stare. Just before the cripple reached
the brisk pedestrian he stumbled, thus
dropping one bundle, which broke and
emptied string of sausages on the side
walk.
The richly dressed ladies (?) near by
held back their silken skirts and wills
pered quite audibly: "HOw 'hOrrid?"
while several whe passed bv. amused by
the boys look and blank dismay, gave
vent to their feelings in a half suppress
ed laugh, and then went on without TAX.
ing any further interest.
All this Increased the boys embarrass-
ment. He stopped to pick up the sausa-
ges only to let fall another parcel, when
in despair he stood and looked at his
lest spolls. In an instant the bright
faced stranger stopped at the boys side,
and in tone of thorough kindness said:
Let me hold those other bundles while
you pick up what you have lost"
In dumb establishment the cripple
handed all he had to the young Samari-
tan and devoted himself to securing his
cherished sausages. When these were
again strongly tied in the coarse. torn
wrapper, her skillful hands replaced the
parcels on his scrawny arms, as she he
slowed on him smile OF encourage
ment, and said
II hope you haven't far to CO."
The poor fellow seemed scarcely to
hear the girls pleasant words; but look
ing at her with the same vacant stare,
he said:
"Bs you lady?"
81 hope so; try to be- was the sur
prised response.
81 was kind Of hoping you wasn't.
"Why?" asked the listener, with her
curiosity quite aroused.
Cause I've seen such as called them
selves ladies, but they never spoke kind
and pleasant to me, 'cepting to grand
uns. / guess there's two kinds-them
as think thsy's ladies' and isn't, and
them as what tries to be and is"

A CORNER IN cToaIEs.

A Minister VINO Carried Home sausages in
His Pocket and the Consequences.
From the Liverpool Courier
A minister in one of our orthodox
churches. while on his way to preach a
funeral sermon in the country, called to
see one of his members. an Old lady who
had been making sausages, and as she
felt very proud of them insisted on the
minister taking some OF the links home
TO his family. After wrapping the sau-
sages in cloth the minister carefully
placed the bundle in the pocket Of his
great coat. Thus equipped, he started
for the funeral While attending the
solemn ceremonies of the grave some
hungry dogs scented the sausages and
were not long in tracking them to the
pocket of the good mans 0yercoat. OF
course this WAS a great annoyance. and
he was several times under the necessi-
ty Of kicking the whslps away. The OBJ
sequies of the grave completed, the min
lister and the congregation repaired to
the church, where the funeral discourse
was to be preached. After the sermon
was preached the minister halted to
make some remarks to his congregation
when brother. who wished to have an
appointment given out, assembled the
stairs Of the pulpit, and gave the minis
tsr's coat hitch to get his attention.
The divine, thinking it dog having de-
signs upon his pocket. raised his foot
gave sudden kick, and sent the good
brother sprawling down steps. "Yon
will excuse me brethren and sisters"
said the minister confusedly. and with
out locking at the work he had just done
'fOr could not avoid it. | have sausa-
ges in my pocket, and that dog has been
trying to grab them ever since he came
upon the premisesp'
