The Suspicious R acheIors.

Philadelphia has a new institution, or
ganized by some excellent ladies, which
was designed for the relief of bachelors
partially. 1t is called the "New Century
Guild" and 1t offered to do darning,
mending and sewing on OF buttons for
unfortunate and lonely mascullnes with
the tenderness that oharacterizes such
work when done by a mother or sister,
and at very reasonable prices. The
Gould" is partly philanthropical and
partly business in its characteristics, and
there seemed to be no doubt when it was
organized that it would "fll a long felt
want" in the City of Brotherly Love.
The morning its advertisement directed
to bachelors appeared 10, 900 old bachelors
at once seized 10 900 pairs OF pants, and
carefully wrapping them in newspapers,
prepared to make rush on the Gould"
just as they were about to start to the
"otiice" on Girard street, however, each
one Of the 10000 remembered a quotation
from Dickens "Plckwlck Papers," and
each one stopped at once as soon as the
cautlonary words, 'Samlvel, beware of
the vidders," ran through his mind. Then
each one laid down his bundle and felt
thankful that he had escaped from what
he considered to be one of the shire widest
traps that was ever set by women TO rope
in the men, aud secure husbands by
wholesale.
The consequence was that days and
days passed by and not a masculine
patron appeared at the Gould" Bust
ness was at standstill, rents (not those
in the pants) were going on aud rations
were falling short. The grand scheme
had failed, and all because the great Eng-
lish novelist mad made a little fun at the
expense Of the widows, and exceedingly
expensive has II been to them too.
Now the "Guild" has discontinued its
bachelor department, and its attention is
devoted TO millinery, dressmaking and
instructing young women VINO want to
become self-supporting Ia sixty different
occupations. II Is not doing the grim and
suspicious old bachelors any good, but
the poor women are being greatly blessed
by II, and some OF them have been so
gushing as TO call II "a little bit OF para

The Cat smiled sereueIy.
From the Boston Gazette.

Some weeks ago amateur photography was
the rage among the young ladies' OF New YORK
society. Nearly every one OF them had an
instrument, and some were very proficient In
the art. But fashionable young lauies soon

An amusem mt now which has something of

they naVe incubatOrs, and are trying 10 see
which one will hatch out the most chickens
in a given lime. They do not ali of them have
rooms built especia iy for this incubating
process, and are sometimes put to for place
10 put up their apparatus. One young lady
had the incubator in her bedroom. and put a
hundred eRgs in IL; the reAult, eight ch cken-.
OF these she was ~ proud as any 0ld hen.
But what to do with them was netting
of a question. She couldn't keep them
In her bedroom, so as the weather grew milder.
she brought them down stairs, and put them
IN her back yard one day and left them there
for minute while she went into the house
some bread crumbs to feed them with. When
she came back she saw a sleek old tabby cat
sitting on the ferce with the latest and mOst
promising of her chicks IN its wicked claws.
1t was too late to do anything. for the

And lifted tie Inning lid.
"There's no any pie or pudding,
So will give you this-;"

The blacksmith tore on his apron.
And dined In happy mood,
Wondering much At the SAVIOR

Waite all about we're visions
Full OF prophetic bliss,
But he never thought OF the magic
In his little daughters Hiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,

Stopped at the sisht Of squirrel,
Catching some Wild bird'r lay.
And thought how many sh dow

Judge Alexander T. Gray, who died at his
residence, 1918 Corooran street, on Thursday
morning, was we'll known, not only at the
capital, but he had large acquaintance,
extending to many OF the states How born
at. his fathers place, Chestnut Iilll. New
Castle county, Del, In August, lSl9. In his
youth he chose the profession of civil engineer,
but studied law There was warm Intimacy
between his family and Senator Bayard. The
Junior senator from Delaware Is anephew Of
the deceased. When comparatively o young
man Judge Gray removed 10 Wisconsin and
praotced law at GAINESVILLE. In 1854 he was
elected storeiaryof state on the Ticket with
Gen. VIM. A. Barstow, and served one term.
where he filled several offices at different
times, the last that of pardon clerk in the De-
partment of Justice. Both here and In Wis
cousin he was the special friend of the late
Senator Matt Carpenter, to whom he was very
aerviceable for hisaccuracy aud success In the
Investigation Of elquestions, In the discus
sion OF which the senator was interested In the
Senate and in the courts There was no In
tcrruption totheiry Intimacy, which extended
through many years, for Judge Gray was well
read in law and literature and his well-stored
memory made him valuable adviser and n
genial friend. He was kind-hearted, enter
tanning man, possessing qualifications natural
and acquired to such an extent, as Is often the
case, as to absorb the talent for getting gain.
Some three years ago he was stricken down by
disease, the Wasting effect of which was TO do
employinents Of aotivo life During his tedious
illness he had the constant care of his faithful,
devoted wife and daughters, and now that the
final separation has come they are cons0led
by tho consciousness that his death Is wel-
come release from suffering.
