One House q Year.

"What do you think of such passion
as that ?" asked New York lawyer,
recently, as he introduced me to Charley
Bloomfield. of Boston.
Every morbid"
Perhaps it u.s." replied the man we
criticised, "but l have determined to
remain true to it as long as I live. I"
This man inherited fortune at the
age of % and number of houses,
which, by singular coincidence, was ex-
actly the same as the years of his life.
He got the idea, somehow, that he
must maintain the relation between his
estate and his increasing age. So he
set for himself the single task of adding
house to his estate every year. Event
ually he grew to look upon the fulfill
ment OF this self-imposed duty as q
requisite to his existence. Possibly it
was due largely to his intimate ac-

boarded late boat from the Pennsylvania
depot on Monday night to come to New
York. A colored nurse followed the couple
with the politicians baby aud u cage with
parrot in it. The cage was covered with
a white cloth, and the nurse set it carefully
on the floor of the ladies' cabin SO as not TO
jostle the parrot.
Just as the boat was entering the C0rt-
landt street slip the nurse stopped over to
pick the cage up, and accidentally seized
and lifted up the cloth cover instead.
what in - are you doing?" screamed
the parrot, dashing at the startled nurse.
Even the ladies in the cabin joined in the
roar Of laughter. The New Jersey politi-
clan glared at the parrot and covered him
up inst as Special Agent John B. Peck, Of
the New York custom house, stepped up to
him.
"The bird seems to have forsotten that
he is in the ladies' cabin" Mr.. Peck said.

An important Question.

A Providence clergyman, while address,
ing congregation last Sunday on the pro-
priety of doing the right things at the right
tine, said that he was in one OF the North
ern regiments, and that one day while on
the battle field his attention was attracted
to wounded man, over whom young
man was bending. He turned to see what
the latter was doing, and saw that the man
on the ground had been shot through the
shoulders, and that one arm was fearfully
mutilated. The young man who was
kneeling over him was endeavorng to sup
ply religious consolation under difficulties
as to extemporaneous effort, and was read
ing a standard catechism to him. The dy-
ing man, as the clergyman reached HIM,
was having the momentous question pro-
poundad 10 him: who gave you this
name?"- Providence Journal.
