A Select Affair.

1t is a pretty hard joke ON the work
ingnan, but it shows the officers of the
Metropolitan museum have an active
sense of humor.
Although this hospitable building is
closed against the public on Sunday it is
always open on that day to a favored
few. All the officers of the institution,
fellows, founders, etc, are admitted with
their friends and families by special
cards. But the public, the working peo-
pie, those who most need it and can only
come on this day, are they also admitted
by special card2
Oh, no! They are told, with all the
emphasis that a front door can give, to
go to the devil and mind their own bust
ness. And while this is done from a
deep religious motive, the favored ones
are strolling about inside with plenty of
elbow room enjoying the works of art
They have it all to themselves. What
fun it must bel And what hilarious
joke on the crowd outside who are ex-
cluded by the religious principles of the
trusteesl-Life.

THE TRAMP.

The fields are all sweet with hay,
The brakes are all blfthe with song,
On the hedges rose garlands sway,
Convolvulus clusters throng,
As ahoeleas, and tattered. and grimy and
gray,
He shuffies along.
A skylark sings high above,
A thrush from yon hanging bOugh,
Far away in the wood a dove;
But he passes with scowling brow;
Their melodies once he was wont TO love;
He hates them now.
Hates all; save the sheltering night
When under a bank he creeps
And squalor is out Of sight,
The hunger its distance keeps,
And unmocked by the birds and the mead
ows bright
His misery sleeps.

1t Is impossible to cast ones eyes
abroad upon this serene and beautiful
world without lighting upon some OBJ
ject that suffuses the face with tender
glimmer of recognition. Yesterday in
Newark mother starved. after having
distributed the last remnants of food
among her children. This tragedy has
a sequel. Application had been made
on her behalf to the overseer of the poor;
The answer was, "There was no room
for her." Thus after the tragedy ever
comes the farce; the same old moss
backed, rheumy eyed, doddering farce
that has held the stage since Elizabeth,
queen, gave a name to Virginia. And
this follows: "The city will probably be
called upon to bury the body. Now,
how shall we class that part of the per
formance? Is it pantomime, perhaps,
with Newarks overseer of the poor in
his favorite character of clown? One
would think he ought to elicit shrieks,
if not of laughter. at least of execration

They Don't Bury Their Dogs.

A letter recently received from an
American missionary in Central africa
reveals a curious bit Of superstition on
the part Of the natives in regard to the
burning Of dogs. The letter says. The
king Of Bihe made great disturbance
because Mr.. Arnot. Scotch missionary,
buried in the ground a dog which he had
been obliged to kill. The chief sent
word that this was a crime, and that tae
missionary must take up the body and
throw il into the river. After this he
must XIII a chicken and sprinkled is
blood upon the ground where the dog
had been buried.
.Now. it was not deemed best 70 anger
the king by refusing to do as be com
manded. so Mr.. Arnot took up the body
Of the dog and threw it into the river
and paid a fine. All they can pay with
is cotton cloth, and % this Mr.. Arnot
had 70 paw forty yards. But he did not
sprinkle the blood Of the chicken on the
Ground. because that would look Ike
having homage 10 the spirits How
ever there was an old native who felt
that this must be zone in order % avert
evil consequences, 50 he killed the chick
en- and went through the ceremony.
