A Bad Guess.

1t was IA sunshiny morning and
all nature was a-smile. The birds
were singing in the budding trees
and the flowers were filling the air
with their fragrance. There was
a joyousness in all the world and
the tramp ambled up to the kitchen
door with a heart full of hope and
a stomach full of room for break
fast. He banged away at the upper
panel in the door and the cook made
her appearance.
swell, what do you want?" she
inquired, in tone slightly off the
general pitch.
"Guess," heresponded, coquettish-
ly.
Guess not" she retorted, slam
ming the door in his face, and he
went out of there as if he had been
hit in the back with a bag Of rail-
road spikes.

Perkins!

Perkins is tall, angular, and a
practical joker of the severest type.
One Of his peculiar pleasantries is
to suddenly halt strange, pompous
individual on the street, buttonhole
him, and remark, with cool assump-
ton:
IL beg your pardon, sir, but |
think you have made mistake"
"What is that, sir?" the victim is
likely to ask.
"Well," Perkins will reply, with
the utmost audacity, "this city does
not belong to any man or set of
men. You may think you own it,
but you don't" And Perkins will
hurry away, leaving the pompous
man to his own reflections.
Sometimes he varies this interest
ing performance in this highly
original fashion. Stepping up to
total stranger, he will beg light
for his cigarette. This trifing favor
having been extended, he will en-
gage his victim in conversation for
moment. When another appears
Perkins halls him. AS he approach
es, Perkins introduces him to the
first man.
"Ah, Mr.. Bobbs, permit me to
present you to my friend, Mr.. Dobbs.
Mr.. Bobbs, Mr.. Dobbs."
Of course both men shake hands,
and Perkins takes his departure,
leaving the strangers to extricate
themselves from their embarrass-
ment as best they can.
One day Perkins entered a shop
with friend. Ranged in front of
the counter was a row of stools
Upon these they seated themselves.
I'm moment a dapper young
assistant came up and asked Perkins
what he desired. For an instant he
seemed puzzled for a reply, but
soon his eyes rested on the familiar
sign, "If you don't see what you
want, ask for it," That furnished
him with a cue.
"Well," he said, in measured
tones, ''you can bring me two poached
eggs and cup of hot coffee
What's yours, George?" he added,
turning to his friend.
"Gimme the same" he responded.
All the girls stared hard at the
impudent fellows, and the assistants
eyes began to bulge.
"Gentlemen," he replied, with a

a slight mistake. This is u shop
and not a restaurant. Do | look
like a waiter?"
IL am not here to answer ques-
tons, young man," said Perkins,
as with his friend he rose and moved
toward the door, "but if you can't
fill orders you had better go out of
business or take in your sign"
And the jokers vanished out of
the door. Perkins is still at large.

cold, dark, cherries garnet, whose
tottering walls were hardly shell
ter from wind and storms.
81 was reading yesterday" pur-
sued Hardy, taking down his ragged
coat, and thrusting one trembling
hand into its tattered sleeve, "that
the cursed extravaganza of women
has reached such a pitch, that men
are getting afraid to marry. And
don't wonder they are"
1t would be quite useless for Mrs.
Hardy to remind her husband that
the amount he spent in strong drink
every day would have bought her
a decent dress. He was determined
to consider himself an ill-used and
unfortunate being, and any efforts
of hers to convince him that the
fault was his own, would only pro-
woke his most violent anger. So
she only drew the scanty covering
of the bed more closely around her
and turned her head YEARLY on the
pillow to hide the tears that sprane
to her eyes.
Quietly as it was done, the move
ment disturbed the sick child be.
side her, who stirred uneasily in
her sleep with a restless moan.
Maggie" said her father, bend
ing over her, maggie, wake up
Don't you know mep"
The violet eyes flew open with {
startled look, and fixed themselves
on John Hardy's face.
Papa" she said, with a look OF
recognition dawning in her face
T've had such beautiful dream
nicer than any story ever heard
] dreamed it was Christmas, papa
and the room was all warm ant
bright, and hung with beautiful,
garlands of flowers. And a band
of shining angels flew down into
the room, with wings that shont
like silver; and they sang, too, such
sweet songs, and while they were
singing, you woke me up; and the
beautiful songs and pleasant dreams
are all gone; and I'm so tired, papa
and so cold" And she turned away
with SILVER.
| Dulled as his faculties and emo
tions were, there was yet one re-
deeming feeling left--love for his
child-his sunny-haired Maggie.
| What if the child were very
sick-what if she should die?
I'm afraid she's very sick, John,
said Mrs. Hardy.
"Oh, no, l guess notw answered
John, sitting the uneasy fear al
his heart. "You can't tell much
about children; they always seem
worse than they are. But l guess
I'll go round to Aiken's; they say
he's going to start a new daily, and
he won't refuse to give an old FRIEND
a chance in his Office, I'm sure
If he will advance me a small sum
| can buy the medicine for Maggie
and have a trife left to buy her a
Christmas present. / will gel
Amanda to come up and sit with
you while | am gone"
He spoke without harshness, al
most with gentleness, and under
the influence of fear that was upon
him, closed the door softly, and
with a careful step, quite unlike hi
usual shutting tread, descended th'
rickety stairs.
A slatternly-looking girl in slip
pers was leaning over the banisters
absorbed in dime novel.
A door, half-open, disclosed I
dirty breakfast-table, with table
cloth askew, and two or three dirty
faced children were quarreling ovel
their breakfast.
Evidently the girl had left thu
room for the purpose Of enjoying
her literary feast undisturbed.
Amanda" said he, ~ wish you
would go upstairs, and sit with Mrs
Hardy. | am going to work, ant
she is to sick to be left alone"
