The BOSTON Man with a Cane.

There is middle aged man in Boston
who walks with a cane and wears mutton
leg whiskers. l met him once on Milk
street, and I want to meet him just once
more in the flesh. He it was who told me
the way to the postoffice, a direction which,
If followed, would have taken me up the
Maine coast nearly to Bar Harbor He
also told me we had five minutes to catch a
certain boat. Like a kite with gracefully
diminishing tail the little procession, of
which | was the humble head, tore through
the streets seeking to follow our guides
directions. We flew east four blocks and
collided with the public buildings We
flashed about and sped north by northeast
and entered a circular park, where we gy,
rated madly until a policeman camly
placed US in cab and told us to take our
time as our boat did not leave until
o'clock.
AS it was then 7:3O, and we had been run
ming eleven blocks with the mercury in the
seventies, our thoughts reverted to the
middle aged man with rapture. And the
rapture has grown with me until | quite
yearn to meet him again and thank him
for all he did to make our brief stay in
Boston so exhilarating. 1t is not much.
perhaps, that a middle aged man with a
cane can do in this stirring, active world,
but if providence only throws a worn and
wasted female tourist in his way occasion
ally he need not live in vain. Though born
lame, and having attained an age when
the madcap joys of youth pail a little, as
it were, the opportunity to make things
lively for tourists is his, so long as he lives
in Boston and pretends to be posted on To-
cations and boats.-Chicago Herald.

Reading by MOONLIGHT.

Reading novels at midnight by the
fight Of the moon is not known in the
United States, but according to the En-
glish wife of Sig. Gregorio Revuelto, of
Guatemala, it is no uncommon thing to
see senorita reclining in a hammock
with book in her hand on her fathers
veranda in the Costa Cuca district, Qua
temala, between - and 1 o'clock in the
morning. Sig. Revuelto is a wealthy
coffee planter, and is in this country, &C
companied by his wife and sister-in-law,
on a pleasure trip. The travellers are
Restored at the Grand Pacific hotel.
''There are 10 moonlight nights in this
country or in England like we have in
Guatemala" said the Spanish planters
wife. The moon at certain periods of
the month is so bright that it is as light
outdoors as during the day. English
and American poets write about the sub
lime August moon, etc. They should
see moon in Guatemala during the time
it is full. They would then have some
thing to go into ecstasies about" Chi
cago Tribune.

nolds family The sheriff of the county
was also spending the night at my fathers
and remembering the lost boys of old man
Reynolds, during the progress of the stran-
gers inquiries he turned In his chair and
asked him:
"'Ain't you one of them sons Of old man
Reynolds that ran awayr
"'Yes, / am one q them,' replied tho
stranger, and then he went on to tell how
he and his brother made up their minds to
leave home, never stopping until they had
