OUR UNCLEEPHRAIM. "Oh, clear ine I it iloos look sort of dilapidated," said Mrs. Angelina Sjiarlt lor, Hiuvojiug the hlfib, oi l, r.iutblitig villi, which, was to be her future home. "I hope it won't tumble ovor." 'This olil balcony looks plctnreFrme, bnt it'll boiriil damp, and there's n'lot of fungus growing out of the edges.'' ob served Miss C.waudrn, kicking over a chunky toad-stool with tho toe of her delicate boot. Ah, well," sighed Mr. Sparkler, liuj; down upon tbo side of the t.-unks the potior bad just brought in, and, fold ing her hands with dejected resignation, I suppose poor creatures in reduced cir- cumilniicos liko us ought to be gl.nl to havo any kind of a roof over our heads." 'Thai's all stuff!" returned Otssnudra, flinging her hat and parasol upon a sofa. "We nln t glad, nro wo?" "Sat, Cats, see (hat bottse across tho hetljH?" demanded M.isTheodivi Spark ler, flntUrlug In the room, anapniiiting through tho window to a stntely' resi dence, whoso yroiindi adjoined their own. "I suppose I've got eyes," retorted C.ismdru, "ud I snposo it's very com forting to no.o an elegant mansion liko that o close to our antediluvian ark." "Hold ou, lemmo tell yon." ran on her si-,ler, talking so fust sho could not take time to pronounce her Words properly. "Our girl told me that its owned-by a featfnlly rich old bachelor." "Goodness sakes I why dldn t yon Fay 6,0 7" "Keep slill for a moment, Cass. He isn't borne now, but will be home this full-" Here a third yonng lady came flyjng in, with ber iint tumbling off backward, and begun to tnlk before Theodora could fluish her sentence "Who do you thiuk's over at thatbonso acrcs tho hedge ?" she demanded, danc ing about until she tripped up ou her skirt and fell over a flowor-pot. "Guess gtif f.8 1 1 saw him." "The rich old bachelor?" cried Cas sandra nud Theodora, in a breath, and Cassandra added tartly: "Yon always do get the start of us. Coral, "you little mini 1" "'Twasn't the rich old bnchelrr. He hisu't come home yet," answered Coral. "It was Liurance Harlcy. I was prowl ing around in our garden to tea what I could diheoyer, nnd the garden over there Joins it, nnd ho came out of the bouse and saw me, and came right down, said Uo knew me by the way lay hat was tilted up on aa edge, and be says he's thought of us so often and wondered where wo wero." "Good gracious I"" uttered C.iFsindra "My patience I" chirped Tboodora. "Dear, dearl how it brings np old times I" murmured Mrs. Sparkler "when we were somebodies in the world and society was glad to know lis. It's n wonder L ii ranee isn't married by this time. But then, he was ul ways a careless creatnre and never cared for any one in particular. "Don't be too certain." ijnoth Miss Cassiuira, tossing her tawny auburn braids cnnscinufly. "If be hadn't moved away ro suddenly and left all our friends m the Inroh " "What if he didn't," broke In Taeo dor i, arching ber pretty eyebrows saiir icly. "Don't let your conceit run away with you, Cass. If I only hadn't flirted so with that dreadful Major." "But, oh, dear me," Mrs. Bparklier was beginning bar lamentations. "I dare say Laurence won't care to come and see us now since onr fortunes are so fallen." "Oh yes, be will." cried Coral. "That din't make a bit of difference. And bis fortune has fallen, too. He he's the rich bachelcr's head gardener now." "Head gardener." exploded Mrs. Cas sundra. "Head gnrdenerl" wailed Miss Theo dora. "Yes," assented Coral In a half fright ened tone; "but I don't Bee as it makes such a terrible deal of difference. After his father failed, Laurence felt as if he onght to do something to help bim, and conldn't pick and choose had to do what he conld and it wua this or noth. ing. He's helping his father now and saving money. He says be will do bet' ler in lime." "For mercy sakfc, liuibl" groaned Mrs. Sparkler, "I hope you didn't nsk bim to call, Coral?" -If she did, I trust he'll bavo better senss than to do II, said Cassandra, holding ber bead very high iu the air. "It wonld be a fine thing when tbo owner of that bouse comes homes. In find us on intlmato torms with his bead gardener," ' I dire say be asked brr if be couldn't come," put in Theodora. "Ho always was as impudent ns the mischief. Now didn't be ask if ho couldn't call, Coral?" "Not only that," retorted Coral, "but bo asked me if be could't marry me as well. He meant to ask mo the last night before ho moved, but be cot in- terruptoel, nud the next day we were gone. And his folks got into trouble riebt nwnv after so bo tbonohl ha'd wait uutil be was in a better positioa be fore hunting us up. Bnt now thnt be found me, be said be must tell mo, any way, and" "Tho saints preserve us," choked Mrs. Sparkler, on the verge of fainting. What oh, what did he say?" "Well, I kind of said yes, if vou did not all object too strongly " Tho exclamati.n that interrnuted her convinced Cowl pretty thoroughly that they nil did object pretty strongly, and made her wish devoutly, for a minute, that she bad been born without any ears. "You will never have my consent ns long ns the world snins," wound up Mrs. Sparkler. "Nor mine." echoed Cassandfa and Theodora. And Coral, anile ncrsr.ndcd in her own mind that the world might as well come to an end now as nuy other lime, cnrled down into a little bunch behind tbo cur tains and criod until ber handkerchief was sonkctl. Lite in tht; evening, a little old man. in a tall wololy cap, nnd n pair of pain fully brilliant spectacles, stood on the t-tep of the Sparkler residence, nud rang tho bell violently: and when the door was opened by the girl, 'Irs. Sparkler, wlio was peenug down tho staitciso iu the dim light. exclaimed to the two Mies- es Sparkler behind ber, ' Ob, its Uncle Ephraimt" and ran down stairs into his arms, with the two yonng ladies at ber bi-cls, in a Btiito of great curiosity! for though they bad beard a great deal of Uncle Ephraim.they bad never seen him owing la a streak of ecccntricitv which led that gentlemin to wonder abonl the world and cnt his reUlious. His pet peculiarity hail lone been keen ing himself secluded In avail of myste ry irom an ills kindred nnd friends, nnd .the lA'tt'tfdftfgi the Sparklers bad recelv-! ed of bim had been wafted from Brazil. IHvinc concluded to show himself at last bis relations could do no leas than be grateful therefor. "And these are the eirls. her?' said Unclo Ephraim, lookinc at Theo dora through the 'brilliant spectacles; "and not married yet, bey? That won't do, Angelina that won't do at alll" TJncle Ephraim fchook bis head, and evidently leslug bU temper at suoh a slate of nflairs, bo continued with n frown gathering nbovo his nose. "It won't do it won't do Angelina! They must get niari ied. " "But Uncle," began Mrs. Sparkler, "we know nobody now,owing to our for tunes having fallen." "Bother your fortnnesl" cried Unclo Ephraim. "Who enres for forluneb? I know a nico young man a splendid fel low, iii fetch him to sea yon fino young man sure to make a fortnuo some day saved my life onoo. I'll fetch him to eee ynn flue young mnnl He's only a gardener now head gardener over you der " Good gracious, don't bring a garilcu er!" shrieked the ladies. "Uncle, bow can yon, sobbed Mrs. Sparkler, weeping with the disappoint ment of having had ber hopes ratsod only to bo knocked over "a man that digs a man that raises vegetables?"

A chap in a neighboring town who ran for o ill co nnd didn't get it, tells hia story to a newpapcr reporter, as follows. "Well," said he, "the election's over and tho other fellow's been taken while I'vo been left. Of course I don't care) certainly not; still It's enough to make a man shed hogsheads of briny tears to think of tbo fearful number of liars thero are in this place, I once read n story of a book agent who went around to see the individual membeis of a school board In regard to the possibility of getting the bonks which ho represented introduced Into tho schools. Each one professed the utmost partiality to tho book uuder con sideration, pledging his pernonal favor. but adding, 'Of course I ciu't tell what tbo board will do.' The agent rested easy, but what was his amazement to dis cover when the official meeting adjourn ed that his books bad been rejected by the 'board.' He gazed at them long aud earnestly and finally said; "Gentlemen, as individuals, you may be, aud doubt less are. gentlemen, perfect geutltmen, but as a 'binrd' you are a sot of essential ly blanked scoundrels, lUrs and frauds.' Now, while 1 dou't care vou will under stand that I don't cara yet I cnu sort o' sympathize with that man. It seems to m that I have an idea of bis frame of mind.

They invaded my office during business hours nnd my house nt times when rc3pectablo people ought to be iu bed, They insisted that nsn patriot I must consent tn run. The most vital interests', they said, hung upon my de cision. They pointed to my opponent us a roan in every respect dbquilified for the office. They said he was ignorant, incompetout and unpopular. They de clared bim to ba the mere tool qf a ring of bcalawngs who were bent on tuiuidg the public, I was tho oho man Upon whom the po.iplo bad settled ns the man for the hour. They begged, they im plored, they insisted that I must bo the savior of society. I suppose most men bavo their momenta Of weakness. I had mine, I yielded and now I am a defeat ed candidate wilh all that tbo expression implies. I don't care at nil, but I feel like saying tu Jou tiat those deVoted friends of niino who so earnestly urged my caudidncy either forgot to vote or else they voted for the other fellow, for I did n't get half the votes that wero.promised me, and tho 'ignorant und unpopular' fellow has got away with me handsomely, It will be dangerous for any mau to sug gest running fur office to me again dur ing tho prtsent century."

There is abundant evidence that tho atnoUut uf water on iho surface of tho earth lias been steadily diminishing for many thousands of years. No one doubts that there was a time when the Caspian Sen communicated with the Black Sea, nnd when tho Mediterranean covered the greater part of the Desert of Sahara. Iu fact, geologists tell us thnt tt one period tbo wholo of the earth was covered by wri ter, and tho fnot that continents of dry land now exist is proof that tkere is ltss water on our globe now than there was in its iufancy. This diminution of our supply of water is going on at tho pres. cnt day at a rate so rapid as to bo clear ly appreciable. Tho rivers and smaller streams of our Atlantic States are visibly smaller than they were twenty-flvo years ago. Oonulry brooks lu which meu now living wero accustomed to fish nud bath iu their boyhood havo in many cases dis appeared, not through nny act of man, but soley in consequence of the failure of tho springs, nnd rains which onco fed them. The level of the great lakes is falling year by year. There are mony piers ou the shorc3 of lako-sida cities which vessels ones approached with case but which now hardly reach to tbo edge of the water. Harbors aro everywhere growing shallower. This is not due io the gradual deposit of oarth brought down by rivers orof refuse from city sow era. The barbir of Toronto has grown shallow in spite of the feet that it baa been dredged out ho that tbo bottom rock has boen reached, and all the dredging which can be douo to tho harbor of Now York will not permanently dcopou it. The growing shallowness of the Hudson is mere evident above Albany than it Is in the ti le-watef region, and, like tho out let of Lake Cham plain, which was onco navigable by Iudian canoes at all seasons, the upper Hudson is almost baro of wa ter in many places during the summer. Iu all parts of the world thore is thesnme steaely decrease of Water lu rivers nnd in lakes, aud the riu fall in Europe, where scientific observations are made, is man ifestly lesB than it was at a period within man's memory. What is becoming of onr water? Ob- vlonsly It is not disappearing through evaporation, fo ' in that case rains would give back whatever water tho Atmosphere might absorb.
