LOOKED SAFER.-The following in.
cident occurred some years ago, when
stage travelling in the White Mountain
region was more common than now.
One very dark and cloudy night,
one of the well.known Jehus was drlv-
ing his stage, both lamps brilliantly
lighted, and hearing the galloping OF
an approaching horseman, pulled up
his team to let him pass. In another
minute there was a tremendous coils
ion with his leaders, and quickly get
ting down from his box, he found the
rider, an Irishman, had ridden square
ly in between the leaders and all three
horses were foundering in the mud.
After a good deal of work the animals
were at last disentangled, and then
the following dialogue took place:
Driver-How in the thunder came
you in there? Didn't you see my
lights?
Pat-Faith did an thought I'D

p@ Five-year old Dorothy goes to
Sunday school, and always learns the
golden text. Sometimes her mother is
astonished at her application of these
bits of scripture. She was allowed to
90 to one of the neighbors to play one
afternoon, and looked very sweet in
her fresh dainty gown. 1t was only a
little while, however, before she ran
home, besmeared with mud from tip to
toe. "Oh, Dorothyw mamma ex-
claimed, in discouraged tone, "what
shall do with you?" '1'm sorry; l
didn't mean, to mamma" "But just
look at your clothes, child! What am
I going to do with you?" "Well,"
responded Dorothy, remembering her
text for the previous Sunday, "Man
looketh on the outward appearance,
but the Lord looketh on the heart"

Boobies PRAYER.-The minister OF
a prominent church, who was about to
leave home for a few days, was bidding
goodbye to his family. When he
came to Bobbie, he took the little fel-
low in his arms and said:
"Well, Bobbie, I want you to be
good boy and take care of mamma
"Bobbie promised, aud the father
departed, leaving him with very
large appreciation of his weighty res,
possibility.
When night came and he was called
to say his prayers, the young guardian
expressed himself as follows:
"Oh Lord, please protect papa, and
Brother Dick, and Sister Alice, and
Aunt Mary, and all the little Jones
boys and Bobbie. But you needn't
trouble about mamma for Im going
to look after her myself" ;"

"The last trip l made down to Bos-
ton was characterized by one of the
funniest things that l ever ran across.
There was aboard a New England
spinster, one of the most sour faced,
rasping- voiced, disagreeable old fe-
males that have ever seen. She was
always giving trouble, and kept the
poor luggage steward constantly at
her beck and call. At last the man
lost his temper. and told her to 60 the

"The lady, in high state ofindigna-

That gentlemen told the steward he
must find out the lady and apologize
to her.
"The steward consented to do So.
At luncheon he appeared, and accost-
ed the first lady at the table thus:
"'Were you the lady 1 told to 60
to the devil? p
"sNo,' said this lady, and several
others, all equally surprised and
amused.
"At last, by seried of separate in

HE KEPT HIS WoRD.-"My dear" ="
said young and fashionable New
York lady to her plain old-fashioned
husband, II hope you are not going to
talk at dinner before all the company
about how you went barefooted when
a boy. Everytime we have company
you shock the people by talking about
your bare feet when you were boy" "
"My dear, III not mention my bare
feet" He kept his promise. He did
not say a word about his bare feet,
but he talked long and eloquently
about having been obliged to walk
backward out of church on one occa-
sion, owing to the dilapidated condi-
tion of his unmentionables consequent
on his INDECENT condition.

never knew he was only waiter, for
he had basely told her that he was a

eyes closed. "How much ?" she asked
and he dreamily said: "Roas' beef,

away muttering, ugh! a common

Mammal knew little boy who
