A Remarkable Coincidence.

Some time ago lady in London
wished to write to O friend in America
whose address she did not know. The
only means she had of procuring the ad-
dress was to write to a mutual friend,
who also lived in America. This she
accordingly did, and the letter was duly
dispatched. The ship which carried the
letter was wrecked and the mails were for
time lost. They were eventually recov-
cred and brought back to England, the
letters, now much damaged by sea
water, being returned through the dead
letter Office to the senders. The letter
In question was sent back to the lady,
who naturally examined it infinitely.
To her surprise she found that another
letter had become closely stuck to it.
Holding up the twofold missive to tho
light, she deciphered the address on tho
one which was stuck to her own. It
was a letter addressed to the friend to
whom she had wished to write, and to
discover whose whereabouts her own
letter had been dispatched. Her letter
thus literally brought back its own an

THE OLD RED SLEIGH.

I'll own the new one pretty.
with its rods and varnish bright
With its bells that gayly Jingle
And its furry robes Of white,
OF the lstest style and finish
Fit to hold y royal guest;
Still. It seems to my poor wisdom
That the old red sleigh is best.
When boy, well remember,
Father piled us children on
For a ride down to the village
Mary, Kate, myself and John.
How the winter winds came sweeping
Round us from the treeless westI
But twas warm there all together,
For the old red sleigh is best.
When was youth of twenty,
Brother John was quite q lad;
How we gathered in the neighbors,
And what glorious times we hadi
Never was there one too many,
But 1t always stood the test,
Though it overfiowed with young folks
Yes, that old red sleigh is best.
Then married, and your mother
Rode beside me all the way,
As we went for merry dinners
Many gladstone holiday.
And her little snowy fingers,
In my great, strong hand caressed,
Seemed to always mutely tell me
That the old red sleigh was best.
And again, that long, sad winter,
just before she went from me
To her home among the angels,
We were riding out, we three.
And seem to see her sitting
With you there upon her breast
In my heart hold the picture;
And the old red sleigh is best

Deaths from lamps Wnu StCves.
A popular Broadway club man, who
wears the uniform of the metropolitan
police, says he has been making an esti-
mate of the matter and that an average
of two persons are burned alive every
week in New York; that is. they are
burned dead--killed by fire. While an
occasional holocaust startles the COM
munity, the real loss of human life by
fire comes from the lamps and gas
stoves, and is the result of carelessness.
