OVERHEARD TALK,
Some DroH Things Dropped In Me mory'B
Casket by Boston Editor.

Some Dron Things Dropped In NIemory's
Casket by n Boston Editor.
The things which one overhears in
the horse-cars are unlimited, and often
they are very droll, says the Boston
Courier. Only mildly diverting was the
bit OF dialogue overheard the other day.
The speakers were two old women, who
were cackling away in an animated Cos
sip, their meeting evidently being the
first for some time.
"Well," observed one, 81 guess Sarah
Jones will be surprised when tell her
I seen you"
"Land o. Goshen!" exclaimed the 9TH
er. "You don't mean to tell me that
you know Sarah Jones. Well, if that
don't beat all. Why, if you know Sarah
Jones you must know pretty nigh every
body in this world"
The logic of the observation was not
evident, but tho tone of admiring won
der in which it was delivered made every
! nearer feel that in failing to know Sarah
Jones he had failed to make his lite
success, and that socially he could never
DO any thing but a most complete fail
ure.
And speaking Of talk which one over
hears reminds the editor of bit Of
worldly wisdom spoken by countryman
on one Of the Lake Sebago steamers.
The rustic was talking with a somewhat
wizened-up old lady, who was evidently
his mother, and the latter was heard to
say to him:
"Wall, now, Sam, I don't think you
treated Lucindy just rightin the matter
ShO fGlt awful had nhout IL ~
"Wall," tho son responded, medita-
lively and with an amount of worldly
wisdom for which one was not at all pre-
pared from such a source, "I'm kind O.
sorry, but thon gals will stand sight
more from fellers than fellers will from
gals"
And tho wrinklod old woman sighed
and was silent, as if she felt the impos-
sibility of controverting so obvious O
proposition and remembered her own
youth and tho things that had happened
to her then.
