Couldn't See the Joke.

Once Offenbach graciously accepted
the invitation Of some friends to visit
them in Etretat AS his hosts were
waiting for him at the hotel, one of
them, who was very intimate with the
composer, suggested:
Let us give him a rousing well
come"
The idea was taken up and devel-
oped. One Of the party possessed a
collection Of old weapons This was
ransacked, and some two dozen young
fellows were soon equipped as halberd-
iers. Another mounted donkey and
waved the flag of the club.
When Offenbach's carriage came
In sight, q drum beat, the halberdiers
presented arms and fireworks were
set off from the balcony at O'Clock
in the afternoon.
As the composer stepped to the
ground venerable old man approach
ed and presented to him the key of the
hotel OH silver platter.
Offenbach, vain as peacock and
accustomed to all sorts Of queer re-
ceptions, entirely failed to see the joke
though 1t was as broad as anything
in 1.-THE Grand Duchess" or LA Belle
Helene" He took it all seriously as
a tribute to his genius, and, with tears
in his eyes and in voice that shook
with emotion, he murmured:

Playing With Fire.
From the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltimore SUM-
The downfall of many good men
OF seemingly good principles may be
traced to their ventures in playing
with fire. Knowing evil, they have
coquetted with it instead of avoiding
it. Christians pray, with good res-
son, to be delivered from tempta-
tions, for the flesh is weak, and it is
by avoiding temptations that some
men preserve their virtue and honor.
Those who seek temptations have to
be strongly armed if they would re-
sist them.
Men who sacrifice their honor be-
gin in a small way generally. Curl
osity, it may be, leads them into bad
company. They do not intend to
commit any wrong, but they want to
see something of "life," as it is call
ed, and they venture into low places
Gas a locker on in Vienna" Some
of them become drunkards, though
able at first to control their apetites
for liquor and being thus led into q
false sense Of security; others are

tempted into life of vice, though
they think they can control their
passions and have begun dangerous
associations with no other intention
than to look on at others. It is q
dangerous business, however, to thus
play with fire. Safety for the best
of US is to be found in avoidance of
temptations, and young men especi-
ally should, therefore, be careful of
the company they keep. 1t is just
rs easy to become interested in lit
erature, science or art as in games of
skill or chance, The difference being
that in the one pursuit the associa-
tons are good; in the other CON-
panions are sure to be found who
will lead one into temptations. Nor
is the enjoyment to be found in USE
full studies one whit less real and
substantial than that which comes
from frivolous games or those that
embody the gambling element. No
one can afford to play with fire Or to
expose himself to temptations or
wrougdoing. Humanity in its best
estate ia weak, and experience tells
Us that men who have had the best
of training may be led astray if they
allow themselves to be exposed to
temptations.
