"MY DEAR Miss SEABRIGHT:-Ihave a
confession to make. l, also, before
met you, had resolved that you should
be the one to decline the condition Of
our fathers wills, intending after ward
to give you back your share of the prop
erty. Consequently set about devils
ing scheme, and, reading my school
day letters,it occurred to me that no one
ever went through so many accidents
quite unscathed and unmarried before,
I knew that few women would choose
to marry very hideous man; conse-
quently l concocted disguise which |
fancied would make me repugnant to
the least psrti ,ular Of the fair sex.
"Allow me to lay at your feet my
crutches, which have never needed,
thank heaven; my hump, which was a
feather pillow, the skull-cap, which did
not hide a bald pate and all my bandages
and patches. The vermillion which
adorned my nose have removed with a
little water; and though obtained my
invitation to dinner under false pre-
lenses, beg to be allowed to pay my
respects to you in proper person, and to
apologize for my trick, which after all,
dear madam, was only tit for tat"
AT first Elsie was unreasonably angry,
but her anger did not last long.
They met at dinner, and before they
parted it was quite concluded that they
should carry out the wishes of their par,
ents by agreeing to dine together al
| ways.

HOW TO BUY THINGS.

A wise scepticism is a good thing for
shopper. The age is full of make believes,
and a counter of cheap goods cannot be
too much suspected, Sugar is sanded,
flour is chalked; tea is mixed with
leaves; coffee knows too
much about chiccory. The once honest
loom Of the East Indian has been bought
and profaned; the surface is wool, but
the back Is cotton. The old adage from
Don QuirOte, "There Is nothing like
leather" has been disproved, for many
a patient shoe dissolves in the first mud
puddle; better the honest cowhide boot,
which will not take polish, but which
rssists the snow and ice.
To buy cheap things and poor things
is the mistake of many to buy too
many things is the mistake of more.
Thus going shopping has become a re-
proach from the sterner to the fairer
sex. There is certain order of husband
who cannot understand "What a woman
wants of five dollars"
There are many shoppers who are the
despair of the shopkeeper. as they are
the "worriment" of husband. Such
women are amusing studies to the out.
slider. There is she who drops her purse,
forgets her pattern, does not remember
how many yards she needs, starts for a
black silk and ends by buying yellow
muslin-a woman easily confused, nom
plussed by smart salesman, made to
get what she does not want, and who
comes home, all her money gone, moth
ing bought which she wants, but "a lot
Of goods" which she loathes.

despair of the shopkeeper. She makes
him take down ten pieces in order to
choose one. She is dreaded by those who
tend at counters.
There lie the dishonest shopper, who
charms the shopman out Of his satins,
silks, and fine stockings. She looks Sol
vent; she gives good address; she will
have the things sent home. Alas there
is bourne from which such packages
never return. The adventures, though
found out and punished, never dies.
She is at this moment going shopping.
She is the conqueror of the earth. For
her, silkworms have eaten and died for
her, camels have trodden the weary des-
ert ; for her, patient Eastern looms have
toiled, Only the gold mine refused to
yield her its store; but she does not need
money-she never pays.
The sensible, systematic shopper, who
knows what she wants, who goes in
with her neat little purse of patterns and
her list, who can get exactly enough and
not to much, who sees at glance what
will be becoming and fit-she could COM
mand an army, No shopkeeper ever
gets the better of her nor does she worry
poor salesman into his grave. She
runs her hand into stocking, and it re-
veals its wealth or baseness; at a glance
she knows its texture and flexibility.
Black silk deceiYes her not she knows
if it is black linen. One scratch of her
delicate forefnger and she hIs detected
its weakness. She cannot be taken in
with specious velvet she knows it (;

TABLE ETIQUETTE FOR CHILDREN.

Here are a few good old rules that can
be safely followed:
Give the child a seat that shall be
strictly its own.
Teach it to take its seat quietly;
To use its napkin properly;
To wait patiently to be served;
To answer promptly;
To say thank you;
II asked TO leave the table fer forgot
ten article or for any purpose to do so at
once
Never to interrupt and never to con-
tradict
Never to make remarks about the food,
such as 81 saw that turkey killed and
how he did bleed" as | once heard a
little boy remark at Thanksgiving dim

Teach the child to keep his plate in
order;
Not to handle the bread or to drop
food on the cloth or floor;
To always say Excuse me, please, 10

lady hostess when visiting, if leaving

To fold it's napkin and put back its

And after leaving the table not to re-
turn.

AN EDITORIAL TRAGEDY.

His spirits embittered by wormwood and gall,
The "compos"were growing for money and"fat,'
The neighboring sheet dubbed the paper fiat y
And the "deyil" had frescoed the editors hat
Subscribers were few and were slow with their
pay;

day
Had A xed for to seize the whole office as prey.
Thus, brooding, the editor thought Of the fate
That mocked all the labor spent early and late
No wonder his frame shook with anger and hate.
He picked up his pen and just started to pay
His respects to the "nondescript over the way"
When form in the door hid the bright light of
day.
"what means this intrusion ?" the editor said,
His face with vexation dyed deeply in red,
As thoughts of the sheriff now flashed thro' his
head.
