One of the queerest cases that has lately
been presented for the decision of court
is that of a Newark lady who was sued by
her dressmaker because she refused to re-
ceive a garment that she thought did not
fit 1t greatly puzzled the learned jurist.
Before he would even undertake to consider
the case he required the lady to put on the
Objectionable costume. Even then the
judge was perplexed. Clearly his knowledge
of female drapery was not extensive. After
a somewhat critical survey Of the shapely
litigant he finally called in his wife to con-
suit upon the case. Between them they
eventually concluded to defer Judgment.
Such q question was too much for even a
New Jersey court. Possibly the discreet
justice called in his domestic adviser as
measure OF protection against those warning
women.

The Burial of Jesus.
BY Rr. REV. t. NJ. CLARK, d. D,
From fbe Mem YoYk E1ds11e11 6.nt

BY RT. REV. T. NJ. CLARK, d. D.
From the NetU York Independent
HE came, therefore, and took the body
Jesus. st. John xix, &c.
No plaIntive hymn or word of PRAYER
Co4es floating on the evening air;
No priestly voice, with sacred rite,
Breaks on the stiffness of ths night;
Nothing relieves the solemn gloom
That gathers round the rich mans tomb
No long procession wends its way
Along the road from Calvary;
No measured tramp of human feet
Is heard resembling through the street.
And only strangers come to mourn,
While Jesus to his rest is borne.
1t is the funeral of Kingi
And yet no muffled vespers ring;
The funeral of the King of Kings
But still no earthly monarch brings
A royal retinGe to swell
The honors of his burial.
Down in his grave, with less parade,
No humblest man was ever laid.
A few poor, wretched women Weep
Looking on Him in his calm sleep;
None of His own disciples there,
The service of the dead to spgre.
With fastened hand and hurried stir
Men place the spices and the myrrh
Within the linen cloth that's wound
His SCARED and sacred body round:
And then, with reverent step, they Law
His precious, mangled form away.
The work is done and all is still
The empty cross upon the hill
Casts its dark shadow on the ground:
The Paschal moon illumes the mound
Where Jesus sleeps, secure from harm.
Beyond the reach of hostile arm.
In the lone garden where he lies
No sounds from human voices rise,
But angels chant their anthems here,
Unheard by any mortal ear;
Watching all through the night alone
Waiting to roll away the stone.

That long promised sale of unpaid
tailor's bills created great amusement in
the New York real estate exchange
the other day. Many of the debt
ors hustled around and settled before
the sale began. But the crowd had great
fun when the auctioneer put up bunch of
bills amounting to s7OO, face value, against
conspicuous dudes aud sold them for only 81.

THE MrsrAxrs Of tyros in the use ot tone

THE MISTAKES Of tyros in the use of foreign
idioms will never cease to be amusing. The
following actually occurred in the cabin of an
ocean steamer. A young American gentleman
engaged in serious conversation with a French
lady. thinking to pay her compliment because
OF the wisdom she was displaying, exclaimed:
" Madame, Uou- eteS une sage femme" Instead
Of smiling an acknowledgment, as was her Gus
tom on such occasions Madame marched
away in higa dudgeon. No wonder. The un-
fortunate young man had called her midwif
Had he said femme sage, madame would prob
ably have understood him correctly, though
even then sage thus applied to a woman more
often means yirtuous than wise.
