How n Woman Mails q Letter.

Some crusty curmudgeon thus tells how
a woman goes to work TO mail letter. II
is libel on the sex. Some of the girls
will make it red hot for him if discovered:
ANY day when you have time you can
see how she does it by dropping into the
postoifice. She arrives there with letter
in her hand. 1t is sheet of note in g
white envelope. She halts in front of the
stamp window, opens her mouth &c - D.
a stamp, but suddenly darts away to see IA
she has made any error in names or dates.
u takes five minutes for her to make
Iure of this, and then she balances the let
er on her finger, and the awful query arises
III her mind: Perhaps it is overweight
She steps TO the window and asks the clerk
If he has q three-cent stamp, fearing that
be hasn't, and she looks over every COM
partment in her portmonnie before sho
finds the change TO pay for it.
The fun commences as she gets the stamp.
She sidlcs around to one side, removes her
gloves, closely inspects the stamp and IS
itates whether TO lick it or wet her finger.
She finally concludes it wouldn't be rice
to show her tongue, and vets her finger
and pa Jes it over the envelope. She is so
long picking up the stamp that the moist
ure is absorbed and the stamp slidec of
the envelope. She tries it twice more with
like success, and getting desperate she give
the stamp lick and it sticks.
Then comes the sealing of the letter.
She vets her finger again. but the envelope
dies open, and after three minutes delay
she has TO pass her tongue along the streak
Of dried mucilagc
She holds the letter long time to make
sure that the envelope is all right, and
finally appears at the window and asks:
Three cents Is enough, is it Yes, ma'am.'
This will 20 out to-dayY Certainly
Will it 20 to Chicago without the name of
the county on?' Just the same What
time will it reach there" Tomorrow
morning. She signs, turns the letter
over and over, and finally asks: Shall /
drop it into one Of those places there? Yes,
mann
She walks up in front of the six ori6ccs,
closely scans each one Of them, finally
makes a choice, and drops-no she doesn't.
She stops TO see where il will fall, pressing
her face against the window until she dat
tens her nose out of shape, ard she doesn't
drop it where she intended to. She, how
ever, releases it at last, looks down to
make sure that it did not fall on the floor,
aud turns away with sigh of regret that
she didn't take one more look at the super
scription."

does life hold worth having for me? Why
should l waste my love on you, cold-hearted
Fides, who took part with my grandfather
against me, who inherited my inheritance
though Heaven knows never grIdged you
that-and won the love of the old man loved
you, who offer me charity, and would pass
me by with averted looks ii we met? Why"
A timid knock at the door interrupted his
reverie.
Mrs. Pearman, suppose" he muttered-
''though il Is not like her knock-or some
other kind friend come to repeat to me that,
because at last even my vanity has found my
cantata unworthy of production, have got
rid of and probably murdered the proposed
principal performer in L.! Come IMP he
added roughly, seating himself again by Che
table.
The door was gently opened, and the in
truder stood Shyly on the threshold.
Guy llallam held the light high and sur
veyed his visitor. The feeble rays of the
candle fell on the figure of a boy clad In tat
tered garments and broken boots. He had
closely-cropped black hair, and from dark
skinned face strangely bright eyes looked
out. He stood timidly silent, his old cloth
cap In his hands, one foot crossed over the
other in boyish shyness.
II was not often that Guy Hallam was
rough, either TO children or distress; but he
was in no kindly mood just then and he
spoke hastily.
"What do you want%' he said. you had
better be off. III you have come to ask for
work, understand that have none for my
self, and, IL for charity, let me tel. you that
am poorer than you, and have only enough
10 buy obliylon-the last and best necessity
of life
The boy seemed to start, then he spoke In
a soft sweet voice
II do not come for charity, SIR" he return
ed; II am not so poor as L seem. / have
heard you are in difficulty, and want to
help YOU"
Hallam looked at him again with surprise,
and laughed bitterly.
1T will be the blind helping the blind,
fear" he said. "How should you, q young
ragamufiin, be able to assist me, an older
one?'
Tell ME what is wrong, and let me try"
the sweet voice pleaded.
Guy paused little, then smiled contempt
uously.
"What fools we mortals beV he unused.
ave find talking to any audience better than
soliloqusing. So, as 1t will ease my mind,
why should not answer the question, and
once more recount my wrongsY"
The boy stood patiently waiting; but in the
interval he had given searching though
cautious glance round the barely-furnished
room, which looked cold even on this sum-
mer evening.
know then, N.Y." Guy began, with o
melancholy attempt at mirth, that my can
tata-the cantata which was to be sung to-
morrow in the Cathedral-is good honest
work, and has, l swear, life in it. 1t was in
spired by love; she looked at me while 1
wrote 1t; she approved, she corrected, and at
last gazed through and through me with
those dear eyes of hers, and said, Guy, it is
excellent; and. when it is successful, you
shall winmer"
