THE UNsOCLABLE.

We envy neither the men nor the
the women who cannot speak to a fell
low-creature out of their own circle or
to anybody without the formality of
an introduction. There is no comput-
ing the amount of profit as we'll as
pleasure such persons lose by hedging
themselves in with this stupid fence
of fastidiousness. We have always
found more of this feeling among per-
sons who were more touchy on their
social position than among those self
respecting persons who thought moth
ing about it. A great deal of intelli-
gence is floating around the world
without being labeled, and those men
or women who have the good sense to
recognize this fact and act upon it
not only are educating themselves, but
comforting that pleasure which we are
all bound by the common ties of hui
manity to exchange with one another.
1t seems to us that it is only the
snob and pretender who take a diff
ferent view of this question.

MIDE HIN DESPERATE.

She had Il shrill young voice that
pervaded the whole car, and when
she spoke to the infantile darling at
her side, she stopped over into baby
| talk that made all the other passen-
| gers grit their teeth and clutch the
| plush backs of the seats in front.
The car was full, and the fond young
| guardian of infancy and innocence oc-
cupied the first seat. Back to back
with that was the seat that faced the
stove, and on this undesirable spot sat
thin, old man, with three satchels
and chin whiskers
There was a lull for few miles and
and the passengers began to relax
their muscles, and breathe freer, when
the fusilade suddenly began again.
"Seepy, little girl? Oh, so seepy?"
response.
"Was 90 mammals wittle yam?
Mammals wittle yammy yam? Look
up here! Look at me! Oh, you bad
Was 90 mammals naughty bad?'
Three slaps.
"Oh, you bad, precious, title sing.
Mamma S Daisy Ducktums, her ownie
totty trots. kissum me! Do you
hear? Kissum me!'
! There were beads of perspiration on
| the lace OF the man WlCn the chin
whiskers, and when the conductor
opened the car door he gave convul
sive shiver, that knocked down the
coal shovel.
Conductor" he whispered, you
haven't come too soon."
"Why?'
Pm desperate man.
TOO hot?' asked the conductor
soothingly, opening the stove door.
Hot? Man, it's that woman and baby
back ofme. It's the baby twaddle.
tell you | can stand it. I've raised
nine young ones myself out in Ioway,
and l didn't raise 'em on that. Git
the woman anything she wants. Git
her II house and lot. I'll chip in, but
keep her quiet. II you don't, conduc-
tor I'll brain that baby with this yal-
Ter sample case. Hear? I'm despritn'
The conductor didn't reply. He
leaned over to the young woman and
said:
Madam, you must send that dog
| to the baSgage-car

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
young men complain that their early
schooling was deficient in quantity,
poor in quality, or-if neither of these
was wasted through boyish in
difference and folly. They would get
on better in life if they knew more,
they are free to admit but they do
not see that they are daily wasting
opportunities which, if improved,
would in a few years give them fair
ly good education. They think them
selves too old to learn, and spend more
time regretting their lack of knowledge
than would suffice to give them the
knowledge they need. 1t is said that
the father of Professor Sumner, of
Yale College, could neither write nor
read when he came to this country, a
Young mechanic. Within twenty
years thereafter he was known as one
of the best read men in Hartford, one
of the most cultivated communities in
the country.
Instead of wasting his time in idle
regrets for his deficient schooling, he
learned to read, and read 10 good pur-
pose. In a similar way many of the
best, most honored and most success
full men our country has known
have begun their acquaintance with
letters after reaching manhood and
there is no reason why the most litter
ate mechanic in our land, if possessed
of natural ability and Il sincere pur-
pose, may not increase his enjoyment
in life, his opportunities for improving
his social and financial condition, and
the chances of his family for the high
est success in life, by an honest effort
to retrieve by study the disadvantages

Cradle SONG,

CR4DLE SONG.
In the garden of Dreamland, flower evel
grows,
In form like lily, in hue like a rose,
With odor like jessamne sprinked with dew,
And it Dungeons and blossoms, my darling, fol-
you.
Then travel, my baby, to Dreamland.
Slowly rock, cradle, to carry the baby;
Steadily, readily rock, and it may be,
Ere she shall know it, the baby will 60
Happily smiling, to Dreamland.
In the garden of Dreamland, in summer is
heard,
Thrilling, there in the moonlight, beautiful
bird,
And it sings, and it sings, all the pleasant night
through,
And its music, my darling, is only for you.
Then travel my baby, TO Dreamland.
Slowly rock, cradle, to carry the baby,
Steadily, readily rock and it may be-
Ere she shall know it, the baby will go,
Happily smiling, to Dreamland.
Tomorrow, my darling, refreshed by her rest,
With the bird in her hand, and the flowers on
her breast,
Shall return to her mother, and frolic and
crow,
But tonight on her journey to Dreamiand
must go.
Then travel, dear baby, to Dreamland
Slowly rock, cradle, to carry the baby,
Steadily, readily rock, and it may be,
Ere she shall know il the baby will go,
Happily smiling, to Dreamland.
