NEVER AGAIN.

Some fellow has said that Laughter
is the sunlight of the SOUL and in say
ing that has undoubtedly voiced in po-
etie style the feelings OF the majority OF
mankind, for there is no doubt that
there is at least nine-tenths of the hui
man race who would prefer to laugh
than to be serious over any subject.
This feeling is illustrated more in the
class of plays which become notable
successes than in any other phase of
our amusements. In these troublous
times life seems too short to see serious
plays and to work out their problems;
thus the play which will cause a night
of continuous laughter and pass ones
time away as if by magic is always the
one the masses are looking for. This
brings us to the very latest exposition
of bright, rafting, frollicking fun
Never Again." which has been con
vulsing New York and Chicago with
continuous laugh lasting more than 3O'
performances, and which will be pre-
sented at the Grand Opera House OF
Friday evening.

The Colored Servant Was Worried, bat
Rose to the Emergency.
Washington, cosmopolitan though it
is, contains elements which refuse to
become reconciled to the intricate su-
perfcialities of official etiquette. 1t is
not for lack of effort that an American
citizen (colored) named John fails
sometimes to understand the obligation
of the moment in the way of titles and
salutations at the Korean legation,
where he is employed. But John does
DIS best. The presence of the newly ar
rived Korean prince has been a source
OF s7sat apprehension, for he appreciates
the Importance which Asiatic people at
tach to ceremony.
IF he calls me, what mus I say to
him?' inquired John of a young man of
this city who is attached to the lega-
ton.
DON'T say anything. Simply do as
he tells you"

but spos'n de house ketches on fire

"You needn't mind about his name.
Simply address him as your royal
highness.
In the course of time the prince had
occasion to employ John and sent for
him. The colored man entered the room
with a stately stride, and without look
ing to the right or the left walked up
to where the prince was seated. Then
he took a long, deep breath, and bowling
very low inquired, "Whut do yoh royal

@. Thank you for the compliment, as
Ear as it goes. Had you or have you any
brothers or sisters?
A. Eth! Ill think so-yes-but /
don't remember.
q. Well, that is the most extraordi-
nary statement I ever heard.
A. Why, what makes you think that?
G. How could I think otherwise?
Why, look here! Who is this a picture
of on the wall? Isn't that a brother of
yours?
A. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Now you re-
mind me of it, that was a brother of
mine. That's William-Bill we called
him. Poor old Bill!
@. Why, is he dead, then?
A. All, well, I suppose so. We never
could tell. There was a great mystery
about it.
@. This is sad, very sad. He disap-
peared, then?
A. Well, yes, in a sort of general
way. We buried him.
Q. Buried himi Buried him without
knowing whether he was dead or not?
A. Oh, no. Not that. He was dead
enough.
Q. Well, I confess that l can't under
stand this. If you buried him and you
knew he was dead
A. No, no. We only thought he was.
q. Oh, / see. He came to life again?
A. | bet he didn't.
q. Well, | never heard of anything
like this. Somebody was dead. Some
body was buried. Now, where was the
mystery?
A. All, that's just it. That'si it exact
ly. You see, we are twins-defunct
and land we got mixed in the bath
tub when we were only 2 weeks old,
and one of us was drowned, but we
didn't know which. Some think it was
Bill; some think it was me.
q. Well, that is remarkable. What do
you think?
A. Goodness knows. I would give
whole worlds to know. This solemn,
this awful mystery has cast a gloom
over my whole life. But ! will tell you
a secret now, which 1 never have re-
vealed to any creature before. One of
us had a peculiar mark, a large mole
on the back of his left hand. That was
me. That child was the one that was
drowned.
@. Very we'll, then, I don't see that
there is any mystery about it after all.
A. You don't? Well, I do. Anyway,
1 don't see how they could ever have
been such a laundering lot as tt go and
bury the wrong child. But, sir, don't
mention it where the family can hear of
it. Heaven knows they have heartbreak-
ing troubles enough without adding
this.
@. Well, I believe I have got materi-
al enough for the present. I am very
much obliged to you for the pains you
have taken. But I was a good deal in
terested in that account of Aaron Burr's
funeral. Would you mind telling me
what particular circumstance it was
that made you think Burr was such a
remarkable man?

man in 30 would have noticed it at all.

THE WATCHES OF THE Nle4T.D

When come the hours for sleeping
In the "watches of the night
And the soul in restful keeping
Awakes in lone alright,
Fro dreams or nervous ailings,
OF spirit fear and dread,
OF mortal griefs and failings,
OF heart and hand and head,
Brave troops of fevered minions
Appear to the restless brain,
Winged on wild and reckless pinions
Come and go and come again,
And the air is rife with fancies
OF varied form and sight
Till broad mornings light advances
On the watches of the night"
Then the garish gnomes of terror
Fold their wings and droop adown,
Fleeing from fields of error,
When the day god lifts his crown
Then the mists of nightly horrors
Flee before the morning light,
And reason surcease borrows
From the watches of the night"
