Showing How Unpleasant People Can Make
 Themselves by Their Talk.
 Istepped npon Q Broadway car nt tho lower end of Broadway and rode in it along that fast chaugiug highway as far as Nineteenth streot At tho corner of Chambers street and Broadway a man Of perhaps 40 and woman not more than 2j, he carrying huge portmanteau, collection of wraps, two umbrellas and cahe, sho leading by the hand Q 8-year-old baby, joined the partially crowded patronage already seated. A cloud of dissatisfaction rested upon the brow of the man The hown of an al- ready born rumpus fast unfolding into frpitago made forbiddmg and ugly the comedy countcnance of tho woman. Her nervous disposition made itself known to every one in the car and particularly to tho little boy as she yenked the child by the arm into the seat beside her. Aft CT moment's silence the woman said, "You might have known how it would be-" to which he responded, Well, 1 might have known, but didn't, so shut apr'
 Another passenger entered the car at that moment and stumbled oyer tho port manteau.
 Hang that bagw said the man.
 If were you, would keep my cuss Ing for home" said the woman, and so on and on and on.
 Tho ensuing half hour was passed by these two in strain which would have done credit to the most pronounced hag in the dirtiest quarters of D third rate fish market The little boy, thank heav- en, went fast asleep Much of the con yersation between tho two was inaudible save to the three or four people in imme- diata contact with them, but every once in awhile the shrill voice of the female bird scared into upper attitudes of def ance, making discordant the entire at mosphero and attracting tho attention of nearly . scoro of people. They got out at the corner of Fourteenth street sullen, ejaculatory and profane; she keyed up to C in alt, defiant. shrewish, chock full of scold.
 Well, what of itl It is not such a very uncommon thing for man and wife-for lovers even, for daily intercoursars--to quarrel and to vert serpentlike misses from the unruly members that wag with curious motion as they distill poison from bitter and jaundiced hearts. It is not so uncommon, admit, but isn't it always suggestive? l thought as l looked at the man, with good, square, clean forehead, well marked broWs, clear skin and au air of self poise that he was hardly doing himself justice Save that his hands were rude and rough and that his boots were country made, that his portmanteau was considerably older than the ordinary hill and that his um- brclla looked as though it might have been utilized by Mrs Noah when she came from the ark, he was man of the world in appearance.
 And the woman had Q pretty face Her hair was parted in the middle. us womens hair should be, and revealed iu its old fashioned brushing q tiny ear, not 80 small as to indicate utter selGshnass. but, on the other hand, not 80 large as to rival a genuine Saddle Rock oyster in its yulgarity. Her eyes were brown, sof; at that; her teeth were regular and clean; her dress was neat, her hands and feet well clad, and an occasional pat upon the boys shoulder as he lay nes. ting against her, fast asleep, indicated the feminine nature, tho afTeotionatc ten derness of tho mother.
 Listening under the circumstances was not rudeness. It was compulsory. sat next the boy. Some of liis banana skin ornaments my ccatsleeye until this mo ment. As he lay semicoiled up noticed the copper nails in the bottom of his shoe and the copper toe upon the same. The group was easily and perfectly within my vision As word after word fell rod hot thought: How odd this all would have sounded in that shell-lilie ear five years ago How strange 1t would have seemed to the lover had he heard it or had it been suggested to him that ever it could be possible for him to hear such language from such lips,-Howard iu New York Recorder.
