A Central Park Vignette.

Along one OF the walks running
northward toward the Mall the other
day all aged colored woman shambled.
She seemed weary and weak, and her
Unmatched and much-patched clothes
were kept in place by pins and strings.
As she came abreast OF the big stat
ties OF Burns and Scott young girl
with Boston terrier passed her. / he
girl was walking rapidly-She was CIV
ing her dog its morning eXerclSe-but
something made her pause and look
back at the stumbling figure. Perhaps
the old colored woman reminded her OF
a once endeared old nanny" for she
was a Southern girl; at any rate, her
hand went into her chatelane bag and
drew out dollar bill.
Then, in spite OF the protests OF the
terrier, the girl followed the dusky hg-
IRE. But as she approached her heart
seemed to fail her, and the woman, who
sat on a bench and sketched this little
vignctte, heard her murmur:--
She might feel insulted" Then she
tapped the old figure on the shoulder
Excuse me, aunty," she said, Il
think you dropped this" She held out
the BILL but the colored woman gave a
wistiul look at it and shook her head
No. honey; no, honey" she affirm
ed, with much politnesS, Il didn't
drap that; deed an | didn't, honey:
Oh" persisted the girl, laughing
you didn't know it, maybe, but
reckon you dropped it" And pushing
the bill into one OF auntie's hands, she
rapidly turned and ran away, the terrier
at her heels.
For a moment the surprised reciplen,
OF the gift seemed dazed, and looket
long and steadily at the dollar bill
Then she turned to the woman on the
bench.
Il did need dis dollah, tell you
miss, an de Lawd He done sent dat
blessed chile to pick it up for me.

Tale Of an Unfortunate Courtship
Told In Rhyme.

tOiQ III niyH1S'
With delicate persuasion that betray'
ed no base evasion, he contriyed
the conversation so 1t turned on
true love rare.
And in accents far from jolly he de
clared 'gainst friendships folly, and
in tones quite melancholy said he'd
take love for his share.
It was, he said, admitted, that when
friendships ghost had fitted, those
it left were to be pitied; for their
fate was sad indeed.
But when true love once had darted
through ones soul, and then de-
parted, though it left one broken
hearted, it had filled a long felt
need
And there was no doubt about it.
though the skeptical might fiout It,
we could not get on without it.,
though it left us in disgrace;
For its memory always haunted, and
it was the thing we wanted. Othel
things, though highly Wanted
couldn't take its special place.
Then he asked if he might love her
for there was no girl above her in
his eyes. lie thought only CT her,
and she said: why, certainly;
eff 10 love is your ambition, you al
once have my permission, but OF
course on this condition; you can
love, but not have me."-Tom Mas

An Egg of the Great AUX.

Recently at an auction sale in Lon
don. which was judiciously advertised,
an egg OF the great aux was put up,
which, after some lively bidding. was
knocked down for one thousand two
hundred and sixty dollars. That is said
to be very good price. BIT aux eggs
have been sold in London Tor as much

The Elizabethan era gave vogue &c

as important. since they did much to

The Dinner Hour.

1t is a curious fact that with almost
every generation the dinner hour has
undergone a change, the principal meal
of the day being eaten at different pc
RODS, from 10 o'clock in the morning
until 10 o'clock at night. The author
of 1.-THE Pleasures of the Table, points
out that in England 400 or 500 years
ago people took four meals-breakfast
at Z, dinner at 10. supper at 4 and liv-
cry at 8. In France in the thirteenth
century 8 in the morning was the din
ner hour; Henry VII. dined at IL. In
Cromwelrs time l o'clock had come to
be the fashionable hour and in Add
sons day 2 O'Clock, which gradually
was transformed into f.. Pore found
fault with Lady Suffolk for dining so
late as 4. Four and 8 continued to be the
popular dining hours among the aris-
tocracy until the second decade of the
nineteenth century, when dinner was
further postponed. from which period
it has steadily continued to encroach
upon the evening.

Do 1t Gracious1y-Do Not Make the
Recipient Feel Contemplate.
The essence of truest kindness lies in
the grace with which it is performed.
Some men seem to discount all graft
tude, almost make it impossible, by the
way in which they grant favors. They
make you feel so small. so mean, so in
ferior; your cheeks burn with indigna-
ton in the acceptance of the boon you
seek at their hands. You feel ii is like
a bone thrown at a dog instead of the
quick, sympathetic g-raciousness that
forestalls your explanations and
valves your thanks with a smile. the
pleasure of one friend who has been IA
yored with the opportunity to be of
service to another. The man who
makes another feel like an insect re-
Ginning on a redhot stove while he is
receiving a favor has no right to ex-
pect future gratitude; he should feel
satisfied if he receives forgiveness.
Let us forget the good deeds we have
done by making them seem small in
comparison with the greater things we
are doing and the still greater acts we
hope to do. This is true generosity and
will develop gratitude in the soul of
him who has been helped unless he is
so petrified in selfshness as to make it
impossible. But constantly reminding
a man of the favors he has received
from you almost cancels the debt. The
care of the statistics should be his priv.
ilege; you are usurping his prerogative
when you recall them. Merely because
it has been our good fortune TO be able
to serve some one we should not act
as if we held a mortgage on his immor
tality and expect him to swing the cen
ser of adulation forever in u presence,
