A witty and popular New York clergy
man, whom everybody knows by repu'
tatlon, had a ,aughab!e and at the same
time unpleasant experience recently.
One Sunday not long ago he was going
up tho steps of his Fifth avenue church

of course did not know hlm) to help
her up the steps. With his usual courtiy
grace he compiled with her request On
reaching the top steps she halted breath

preach that day.
"The Rev. Mr.. Blank" he replied, CIV

"Oh, Lord!" exclaimed the old lady;
"help me down again. I'd rather listen
to a man sharpening q saw. Please help
me down again. reckon I won't go in"
The clergyman smiled and gently assist

as he reached the sidewalk: II wouldn't
go in either If wasn't paid for 1t.

NANCYs NIGHTMARE.
Laura e. Richards in September st.
Nicholas.

l am the dol that Nancy broke
Hadn't been hers a week.
One little squeeze, and 1 sweetly spoke;
Rosy and fair was my cheek.
Now my head lies in a corner far,
My body lies here In the other;
And II this Is what human children are,
1 never win live with another!
l am the book that Money read
For fifteen minutes together;
Now am standing here on my head,
While she's gone to look at the weather.
My leaves are crushed in the cruelest way
There's jam on my opening page;
And l would not live with Miss Nancy
Gay,
Though 1 shouldn't be read for an age!
1 am the frock that Nancy wore
Last night at her birthday feast.
I am the frock that Nancy tore
In seventeen places at least.
My buttons are scattering far and near,
My trimming is torn to rags;
And II 1 were Miss Nancy's mother dear
I'd dress her in calico bags.
We are the words that Nancy said
When these things were brought to her
view.
AN of us ought to be painted red,
And some of us are not trda
We splutter and mutter an snarl and
snap,
We smolder and smoke and blaze;
And II she'd not meet with some sad mis-
hap,
Miss Nancy must mend her ways.
