A NEEDED LESSON.

A unique specimen OF woman
kind, says New York letter, was
a mother in q drawinR.room car,
accompanied by young hopeful
and an imnaterial sort of hu sband.
With much ado she disposed of her
wraps, boxes, and bundles. In a
loud, aggressive voice she upbrald'
ed the car builders, who had put
too many chairs into the vehicle.
A pleas ant old gentleman offered
the use of hook beside his seat
for the hanging up of a cloak that
was troubling her. The son whls-
pered to his mother he was afraid
their neighbor couldn't see, as the
cloak swung over the windJw.
"That's his lookout" said the
amiable creature; "dOn't you never
worry about other peo pie. See
that you make yourself comfort
able; that's all you're obliged to
do.r
The boy belo nged to some uni-
formed school, and wore a uniform.
Something was wrong with his
cuffs. Abiding to on g Susan,
evidently the laundress, he said

when | see 'em."
"[ wonder you didn't" returned
ma.
An elegant lady with a nurse
maid and two lovely children oc'
cupied adjacent seats. The little
girls betrayed their careful train

The elder, a graceful creature OF
ten or twelve years, won the un'
disguised admiration Of the cub,
while the luxurious appointments
and fine atmospher of the mother
was very attractive to the cubs
keeper, who made overtures OF
friendly nature to the whole family
but the nurse refused the candies
tor the children, and the lady
answered in polite but frlgid
monosyllables that end ed further
attempts at intimacy. Thrown
back on the society of the cub, the
woman's idiotic cOunsels am used
or incensed her hearers according
to their nature. All of a sudden
in reply to some remark OF her son.
she broke out:
"Never do anything you don't
want to. Remember that. Through
all your life, never do anyth ing you
don't like to-"
The elegant lady raised her book
and, with a sweet smile, said to
the boy:
"will you favor me with your
name p
"James Taylor" answered the
lad.
"James Garter Taylor" amended
the mother, with an obsequious
smile.
81 shall endeavor to remember
it,D returned the lady, "for Mr.
James Carter Taylor, as you Will
make him, madam, will be a man ]
should dread to have my grown-up
daughters meet. The men and
women who do only that which
they like to do in this wor Id are Of
no good to themselves or anyone
else."
This closed the discussion. The
boy sat and ruminsted over it. The
mother spared the passengers
