The Fat Coquette.

The woman you see yonder, who is now
almost Falstaf among the females, was in
her day the most attractive young girl in
our city," says Gath in the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Like many such women. she be-
came large, full of.plenitude, with beauti-
fully rounded limbs and everything that
makes women attractive in their youth to
men, while she was yet in her teens. This
great flesh that you see is nothing but the
superlative Of that precocious ripeness. The
rich young man saw her and was deter
mined to have her. Her parents command
ed that she should marry him. Shewas not
averse to the marriage, but she had no time
to think about it, She was told by her
mother that she should have carriages,
horses, foreign tours, yacht and a superior
establishment to any OF her class. She
married the man, and was tied to a fool
There was nothing vicious about him, but
nothing strong. He could not drink with
out getting tight. Now and then he would
her childhood up to be attractive to men
old enough to be Ter father, and she knew
her power all through the city and society.
There was certain hardness in her quality
and she liked bold man and was not in
capable of bold look or bold reply.
These women. when they fall into strong
hands, give masculine tone to lie, but in
this case her husband made some ventures
in business, and lost and lost until his lather
by his will put his son upon stipend, tied
him up in trustees and made it impossible
for him to spend more than the now limit
ed interest of once good fortune. AS q
business man the son might have stood
among the highest mllionaires. He has
never made anything: has not even had the
force of character to tall in love with another
woman; his wife is tied to him as to another
woman. So they wander to these cheap
watering places. and now the fat wife begins
TO be a coquette. when it is RIDICULOUS to
note her in that attitude. The countenance
which once entertained mans look with
such wholesome appetite that he must
needs blush, now attempts a Irritation which
is ludicrous to the one tempted and to the
by-standers. She is has been, and that is
all these is of it,"

A Strict Sister.

As every one knows, in the early
days of Methodism a considerable
degree Of strictness was maintained
in regard to the wearing Of jewelry
or costly attire. An eminent divine
of that church gives an amusing in

A preacher had just gone to his
new charge, and was in the midst OF
his first sermon when a woman rose
and went out, slamming the door
with unnecessary violence. OF
course he supposed lie had said some
thing which gave ofense, but on
making inquiries he learned that the
woman left because "the minister
wore a wicked bosom PIN
The fun of it was that he had driv-

one drop Of mud had settled on his
immaculate shirt bosom, deceiving
