A long, lean, solemn looking man

"Have you any pork soup?' he asked
the waiter.

THE wckEDEsr MAN.

An Instance Of How MisleadIng Appear.

went out the other day to find the
wickedest man, and down In Roosevelt
street, and without extended search,
ran across him recognized him on
sight He was q burly ruffian who
could have picked up the average man
and dashed him to the earth as the
earth as the child does q toy. He was
frowsy, unkempt, red-faced and full of
swagger, and his blood-shot eyes had
the look of wild beast as he surveyed
me and Rrowled:
What ar We lookin' at? Go on. or
I'll do ye."
He sat down on the step of a rum
hole, and stood little way off and
watched him. A girl seven or eight
years old came along with an empty
''growler," and he kicked it out Of her
hand and sent It flying, and then tried
to kick her. A Chinaman, Doodle and
good natured, came from the other
direction with bundle under his arm,
and he received a kick which propelled
him almost TO the other curb. Two
strong men, passing down the street on
the other side, stopped to look, and my
wickedest man uttered q growl which
sent them off in hurry.
What husband and fntherl What
love could he feel for wife or child
what pity for the sorrowing-what
mercy for one who had angered him!
Ahl my fine chap, there's a gloomy
prison waiting for you in Center street
"a judge wearing the black cap-a
death chair over which men shudder
and turn pale as they remember Kemm-
Ter. You'll do murder yet, and you'll
die the death of a murderer. You feel
your degraded, brutal condition, and
you hate honest, respectable humanity
all the more for it Cast in
the same mold as your
fellow men, given soul, a
heart, a brain, how you might with
that vigor and muscle and Drawn, hew
a path for yourself through the ranks
Of the more timid and less vigorous!
Instead Of fame you seek degradation.
Instead Of honor you curse all that Is
noble and good
Then two things happened at once.
A hawker came up the street crying his
flowers, and a hearse drove up to the
very door 1t which stood A moment
later q man brought out coffin In his
arms-a baby's cofin-and placed It In
the hsarse. Then a carriage drove up,
and . weeping mother and two children

MATRIMONIAL ANGLING.
A Few Suggestions For Susceptible Young
Men.

A Few Suggestions For Susceptible Young
Men.
A good deal of this sort of angling is
done in fashionable society, and it NAV
be justly characterized as a heartless,
unladylike sport Some women pride
themselves on the number of offers
they have rejected, recalling them with
al much complacency as the noble
savage" exhibits when counting the
notches In the handle of his tomahawk,
each Of which indicates the taking of a
scalp When one Of these heart-slay-
ers meets her fate from Cupid's cross
bow, and is left to pine uncared for by
the object of her worship, it is impossi-
BILE to pity her. The event is in accord
with poetic justice, and the victims of
her vanity and caprice are most right
eously avenged
It is not difficult for fascinating
woman to lure man into declaration
of love. She has thousand little arts
at her command, which she can prac-
tice unseen by the general eye upon a
sutton; and then insist, quite plausibly,
that she has ''given him no encourage
ment-" 1t Is ineffably notifying to
sensitive man to be treated in this way;
and no generous woman is ever guilty
of such dishonorable piece of strate-
gy. The coquette's victims have
this consolation: they know, or ought
to know, that their fair beguilers do
not possess the qualities which are
most desirable in wife. This refiec-
ton should be a sufficient salve for
their wounded pride.
More than a century ago, an anonv-
nous writer, who had probably been
entrapped into making an offer by
some soulless coquette, proposed that
love making should be governed by
hxed laws, to be recognized and sub
scribed to by both sexes. Among the
points which he wished to have deter
mined as basis for code of Court
ship" were these:
How great the contraction of the fingers
must be before it amounts to a squeeze of
the hand.
What can be properly termed an absolute
denial from a maid, and what from widow.
What advances lover may presume to
make after having received a pat upon the
shoulder from his mistress's fan.
What construction man may put upon a
smile. and in what cases a frown goes for
nothing.
These questions are as pertinent (per-
haps the ladies will say as imp rtinent)
now as they were hundred years ago,
and there are many more equally to the
purpose, which will suggest themselves
to the reader in this connection.-N. Y.

met one of these faithful wives down
town on the afternoon of one of those
raw, cold days we have in May Her
husband is q big, surly. hateful, bull
dog sort of a creature, who deserves to
be tied to a whipping post every day of
his life. He never speaks a kind word
to her. He never spends an evening
with her. He begrudges her every one
of the few dollars he gives her. He
finds fault with her steadily. have
heard that he strikes her But no one
ever heard her speak his name in other
than the most respectful and kindly
and even affectionate way.
The morning of the day l refer to
had been mild and sunny, but it had
become very raw and cold and driz-
zling rain was falling. Her angelical
husbands Office is near my own and

that l brought it to him. Would you
be kind enough to let me leave it in
your office, and I'll slip q note under his
door telling him where it is He will
be almost certain TO take cold without
it"
Now that woman had ridden over
two miles in damp and muddy and
crowded horse car to bring that sort of
man his overcoat. When 1 gave it to

any thought to her touching evidence
of affection for him. He will some day,
