Oases of Abaeat-Mindedness. At this' yory moment a gontloman iooking over my shoulder tells mo that a few days ago ho came to town, for tho particular lnirposy qf mailing a very important letter. Ho did not like to run the risk of having it lie for a day in the post-olhco In the suburban bor- oughi whero ho resides. He camo to Pittsburg, about fifteen miles, went straight to tho post-office, bought eix 1 !J-cetit elatnps, which he remembored ho was iu uoed of, and returned to his hemo with the important letter rosting securely in his breast-pocket. A slory used to bo told many years ago of a merchant who was peculiarly subject to fits of absent inindedness. Uno day ho was writing a letter ana . thought, absent-mindedly, that ho had torgotteu his correspondents tirst name. Turning to ono oi his clerks ho said, "What is John Jackson's first name!" Tho clerk,, aocustomod to his employ er's peculiarity, icplicdt "John, sir." Tho merchant wrote tho letter, put it in au envelope, and was again at a loss. To tbtj samo clerk ho taul: "hx- en so me, Uhario; 1 havo lor gotten Johu Jackson s last uamo!" But a better story than tbo above is told of a gentleman in this- city who was met by a lriend one morning recent ly, Jiurrying back from the depot to ward ma nuine. "What's tho matter" tho friend asked. "Oh, I'vo left my watch 'Under my pillow, and I'm going lo get it.' ,fYpu'll miss your train." "Oh, no,'1 was tlio absent-minded nun's reply. "See, I'vo got four mlu utes yet," and ho pulled out his watch lo enforce tuo statement. Aud ho did not realize for eeycral seconds what )t was that tnado his friend laugh so heartily.
