ALLEGED FUN.

Some time ago there resided in a ru,
raj district Of England a magistrate
who was most cordially detested on &C
count of his harshness and arbitrary
conduct both on and off the bench.
Upon one occasion, at G time of food,
this gentleman unfortunately fell into
a neighboring stream, and would GER
tainly have drowned but for an old
shepherd, who helped him out with the
assistance Of his crook. The magistrate,
being very thankful for his deliver

Very hurriedly the shepherd replied
Dunno yo' say anything-For

for wanting to chuck me in.

Like every other woman, I have my

with the polish that is seldom acquired
but in one way-by constant associa

they have enjoyed the influence OF
education and refinement all through
their lives. He must be thoughtful
for others, kind to women and children
and all helpless things, tender hearted
to the old and the poor and the I'M
happy, but never foolishly weak in
giving where gifts do harm instead OF
good. His brain must be as fine as bic
heart, in fact. There are few such
men; but they do exist. I know one
or two. R eliable as rocks, judicious
IN every action, dependable in trifes
as well as in large affairs of life, full of
mercy and kindness to others, affec,

their lives are pure and kindly.
1t was once said by a clever man that
no one could be a gentleman all around

after the banquet was some time over,

There you are, boys; yonder's the

This peculiar address was received
with great applause, and more than
one youth, as he bounded away for the

FASHIONS NOTES.
BY DEANS.

Styles for Spring show either the
skirt with marrow front cores and the
tulness massed in the back, or ruH9d
to the waist, for thin materials. The
extremely wide skirt has disappeared,
in fact the foundation of the ruff d
skirt is quite narrow.
The drop skirt, or the lining and ma
terial made separate, will be eminenCly
suited for Summer goods, and, there
fore, will be much used. By this
method different effects can be oh
tanned by wearing different slips under
various gowns, and, moreover, the
thin materials can be freshened so
much more readily by pressing.
The yoke skirt is a new idea for
Spring and Summer wear, particularly
suited for challies, chinas, taffetag, etc.
The yoke, Gs preferred, is made of the
same material as the gown, Or else the
trimming material. The style is espe-
cially adapted to tall, slender women,
as it will cut to their height.
Another style that has been revived
from several seasons ago and that bids
fair to be very popular with slender
women, is to have the front plain and
the sides shirred on one, two or three
cords, gagged in half a dozen rows of
fat gathers, Or tucked lengthwise to be
low the swell Of the hips, the ampli,
tude faring gracefully below.
Tucks of all widths will be much in
evidence; skirts will be tucked, sleeves
will be tucked, and bodices will be

An Altered Will.
BY IRENE BEST.

HE moon was peeping from be-
= hind a cloud, throwing its
silvery light among the flowers and
shooting it's beams through the leaves
of the vine covered porch wheresat a
young and beautiful girl. A sad smile
rested upon that once happy face, and
now and then a tear would steal from
her soft blue eyes and rolling down
her flushed cheeks, fall quietly among
the golden curls, waited here and there
by the gentle evening breeze.
But why so sad3 All! we shall soon
know.
why, bless yer heart, chile" said
Aunt Dinah, coming out on the piazza
and breaking in upon the sad refec
ton of her beautiful young mistress,
Il wouldn't cry ober dat will-no, I
wouldn't; it am no good, no old marsa
amt gwint'r lebe yer out'n it. He'll
'pent Oh it sho', for ole Dinah knows
marsa too well-dat she do. What
is I bin libin' here all my life fer9 He'll
'pent 90 it sho' as I'm libin-dat he
will, Miss Kate. So yer jes' come an
git ter bed, fer it's nigh on ter mo-nin."
Old Aunt Dinah had long been @ ser
want st the EImo's home, and was
a most faithful friend to sweet Katie
Elmo, whom she had known from
childhood, and none were better &C
quainted with the joys and sorrows of
the Elmo family than was she.
Kate was an only child Of the rich
Captain Elmo. Her mother died when
she was only seven years old and she
was left entirely to the are Of the
faithful old servant, who, so far as it
lay in her power, gratiied every wish
Of her young heart.
She lett school at the early age of
seventeen, and became mistress Of the
Elmo mansion.
Many were the beaux-or so called
that kpelt at her feet-only to be Re
fused, for Kate, from childhood, had
learned to love Carl Dayton, the son of
a poor man and neighbor.
Carl was not handsome, but with his
brown eyes and brown curly locks and
frank, open face and gentle ways, he
had made many friends.
He, too, had knelt at the feet Of Kate
and had been accepted. But Captain
Elmo had sternly forbidden him com
ing to his house. It was this that
caused the Captain to alter his will,
and leave Kate the sum of ten dollars,
unless6 she married to suit him.
Cd Dlnah had been a witness to the
will endiG was with deep sorrow that she
looked en- her young mistress that quiet,
moonlight night and mumbled to her
self: Dat will amt gWint'r dC-I
knows dat, an 70 dc Lord it shall be
'stroy'd if I has to do it myself"
So, accordingly, after leaving her
mistress in bed, she set about to do the
task. She got the right key, unlocked
the desk, took out the will and chuck
led to herself: "Diner'Il fix yer. Yer
shan't cheat my Miss Kate-no yer
won't. I'll burn yer, TO- de Lord 1 will. :"
That night Captain Elmo died-trou-
ble OF the heart, the doctor said.
Why need 1 tell you more. The first
