Different Young Men.

What a difference there is ill young men" remarked suburban matron the other day. f 1 have two nephews, who alternately run out from the city to see me, generally staying all night. It al most gives me the shivers to allot that spare room to one of them, he is so ex- ceedingly careless. It looks the next morning as if Bedlam had been loose. Everything is out of place. The towel rack is overturned, the pillow-shams are crushed, the washbowl is left full of water, the windows are flung open to the incursive flies and everything generally is at sixes and sevens. But there's the other nephew Bless my soul, it's pleas ure to have him come! Why, you'd think the daintiest lady had slept in the room He removes the shams and spread, washes the soap before he returns it to the soap dish, puts the towel squarely on the rack and the comb into the brush, re-fixes the tidy on the bureau, bows the shut ters before he comes down and all that. Why, I've got nothing to do scarcely but re-make the bed and one would hardly know he slept in it. I cannot see why there should be such marked difference between the young men, when they are so much alike in almost every other re spect. It's more likely born in them than bred in them.'
