He GOT A SETBACK.
Why a Confirmed Cynic 5ehanged His
Views on Human Nature.

a man whose views on human nature
are tritie cynical received an agreeable
shock the other evening, says the New
York Tribune. In his haste TO catch a
train on the elevated road few nights
before he had forgotten to get his change
from the ticlIet-seller. He had laid down
dollar bill, called for ten tickets, re-
ceived them, and dashed on to catch his
train. lie had travelled some distance up
town before it occurred to him that he
had come away without his fifty cents.
An examination of his pockets made him
certain that he had not received the
money. The man was in hurry to,get
home, however, so did not go down
town again to see if he could have his
mistake rectitied. Anyway" he thought,
''it serves ME right for my carelessness.
The lesson is worth fifty cents to me.n
Several evenings afterward he was
mounting the steps of the same station of
the elevated road, when he recollected
his loss. Going up to the ticket-seller,
whose face he did not remember having
seen before, he asked: ''Were you here
last Saturday night at 7:20 o'clock?"
The man, stony stare on his face,
replied with another question. "WhyT'
II forgot to get my change then"
oh" the stare grew stonier; chow
much was it ?''
ST laid down dollar for ten tickets,
and did not get back the 80 cents. +"
'Oh, yes, [ recollect that. Here you
are, SIR" and the ticket-seller, smiling,
showed out two quarters, to the mans
great surprise. Since that time the
cynic's views have received another set
back, for conductor on Broadway car
actually apologized to him for having to
give him tive coppers in change.

The fameleSs work of an unknown hand;
But it holds me- aye in its magic thrall
And I stand enrapt by its weird command.
The great brown eyes look down, look down,
And sometimes blink, for they seem TO see:
The features move, for they smile or frown,
And the beautiful face still turnsssto me.
o, the fair white brow, the calm sweet face,
The solemn smile, the pleasing flown!
The wondrous force of u silent grace,
And the great brown eyes TO me look down.

Never sound from its lips could fall
But it speaks to me and / understand.

The scene is the drawing-room of a
charming woman who has made a knoyyI-
edge of American history compatible
with fashion. A lecture thereon set down
for 2:SO did not begin until 4, owing to
the late arrival of the greater part Of the
audience-all petticoats. A few women.
however, paid the lecturer and hostess
the compliment of being on time. One
warrantable delay, whereupon q vonng
person looked at this grumbler from
head to foot, saying: I'm society we do
not try to be punctual. Our aim is TO be
Late" Then she changed her seat. The
grandmother of this young person did
most of her work and lived-but never
mind. The rich relative to whom this
young person owes her present position
made his money by the virtue his degen-
crate scion despises. No society is tit to
live that has not brains enough to have
good manners. Punctuality is the es-
sence OF good manners, founded on the
Christian doctrine of doing unto others

a rope used in hanging a person would
cure them, the father came TO town and
got piece of the rope Sam Smelling was
hanged with, and, returning home tied
1t around his boys neck. The boy had a

the convulsions caused the neck to swell,
