The Bashful BOY.

What pangs the. bashful boy suf-
fers! How he fiushes when he is
obliged to address a stranger, and
how his limbs tremble under him
when he is introduced to some one!
but the climax of his trials is reached
when he is called upon to do the in
PRODUCING himself.
Shrinking from such tests may
perhaps be natural ftom one who is
constitutionally shy, but there are
phases of bashfulness that seem not
only inexplicable but closely allied
to pride rather than modesty. Tim
idity of this sort is that displayed by
a youth in his teens who breads to en-
ter a dry goods store much frequented
by ladies. He knows no one there, no
one knows him, and yet forsooth he
imagines that he is going to be
singled out from the crowd of pur-
chasers as though he we're an
Adonis.
After all, when one comes to an
alyze the trait there is not as much
vanity as self-depreciation in the
boy or man who is always wondering
what people are thinking of him.

A lady residing in the Pershore
road has narrowly escaped a disaster
in consequence of the depredations
of a cat. For some time past her
neighbors have missed linen placed
in the garden to dry, the manner in
which it has disappeared having
given rise to suspicious about the
honesty of servants employed in sew
eral Of the households. Happily, the
mystery vas solved the other day.
The thief was a fine male cat belong
ing to the lady referred to. Finding
that her stock of linen was increasing
in a manner which almost suggested
the generosity Of a ghostly visitant,
she set her wits to work to unravel
the secret and after careful watching
she found that the cat was in the
habit of bringing home anything he
could possibly find, and among other
articles the other day he landed home
with a pair Of stockings which had
been put out to dry in a neighboring
garden. 1t was found that the cat
was a notorious thief, and whenever
he saw any light article of clothing
which he could annex, he did SO, and
carried it triumphantly home. 1t is
only fair to say that Pussy's owner
has returned all the property which
has been identified, while the house.
wives in the neighborhool have
taken extra precautions in securing
their washing when it is hung out t.
dry.

The Next Congress-.

Every once in a while aCongre :sman
car be found who's. eyes of faith pierce
the Democratic gloom. One of these
is Mr.. Swanson, OF Virginia. He does
not share in the general belief that
the next House will be Republican,

is ia him. The election next fall"
he says, $50 far as it relates to mem
bers OF Congress will be made up of q
series of individual units. In other
words, there are 1855 Congressional dis
tricts, and in each one of these the
Democrat who seeks rec ection will
be tried b. the record which he has
hims If made in Congress. If he has
obeyed the wishes OF his constituents,
he ought to b, and doubtless will be
sent lack again.
"Then it is wor.h while remember
ing that the South will certainly send
