SENN AND HEARD.

Out in the residence portion of the city a
scribe noticed two wee and interesting bits
of humanity down in the ditch, from which
the water had only lately been turned,
their feet SUNK in the mud, while from
their hands it run over and down the
snowy dresses, which few minutes ago
had been spotlessly clean. how they were

soft, delicious mud. AS the writer's gaze

that they were in mischief and the eldest,

Not long ago q fault-tinding member of
the sterner sex was heard to rail at the
ladies for not holding an umbrella properly,

was wonder they did not punch out the
eyes of those they met. Did this man ever
for moment think that it is the terror of
woman's life to see him take an umbrella
to hold over her? If the sun is shining In
