AN UNLUCKY TOSS. ITORY XF A NEW YEAR'S GIFT THAT WAS NEVER ENJOYED. nt Old AiIiikp, "Tlicrp'n Many n Slip Betwixt tlm Cup anil the I.lp," Ulna trattsl in tlio Case of a ItrgRiir nml His Coin. Ho was a trump. A misoroAile, ragged, mm srxMon iK)liry for n man, without sne redertuiug feature. Ho linl not worked for ton years. Ilia wm a hanjr iojr, aiK'Hraiicp, and now and then he furtively pliitiwd aronnd tut it expecting t policeman to arrest him for living. lie stood in the postofllce corridor uid gu7AM out of a window through the farknoss lit Newspaper row opposite, and pondered. It was the last day of the year. Ho hadn't a friend, bnt then be did not want one. All he knew was that he was hungry, and his chronic thirst consumed him still. Ho thought of the morrow. Tho new fear caused him no remorso for his wost d life. Ho never was of high estato, so that his fall had not been mighty. He wondered if ho should go through tho Say, as ho had at Christmas, without a iinner. Tho postoffleo clock pointed to IL He leaned on tho. broad window sill ind dozed. Through the corridor from tho Broad way side camo brisk footsteps timed to a Cheery whistle. Our tramp roused hitn aelf from his lethargic gloom and looked around. It was a young man, bright and breezy. Joy shono in his cyvs. Ho may Jiavo just received a letter from Miranda; ninybo ho had collected a bad debt. More probably ho had just mado a lucky erriko on the race At all events ho was happy. His audience did not appreciate this, however. Ho only saw in the well dressed chap a possible victim. So mechanically he stepped for ward, licld out a dirty paw and mum bled tho well worn refrain in which tho words "hunger sick wife five chil dren" .could be distinguished. Imagine his astonishment when the jronng man paused, after a cursory glance, palled ont a coin, handed it to the beg gar, and was oil still whistling. The re cipient hurried to tho light to inspect his treasure; ho fairly gasped it w;t a dol lar. He did not pursue the philanthropist to put the traditional query, '.'Did you mean to givo me this, sir?"' Not he! Out of the postoffice he ambled toward the Bowery, that Mecca of nil such as he, at a faster gait than he had known for many a month. A short distanco beyond tho bridge a thought occurred to him. What should lie do with his money? The sudden gleam of paradise had scattered his wits. Un decided, wavering, ho sat down on the walk under a street lamp with his feet in the gutter and mused. Ho thought of turkey, but the word was a mockery he had not tasted any for years. Ho now sketched rapidly an ideal bill of fare; bean soup, pork and beans, and ye gods! plum pudding to top off! He figured life cost. Why, he would have enough left to tike him to a theatre, and even to it down stairs, for once, like a lord. Jut now a disturbing thought crept in. le had forgotten something rum. His irogranimo was accordingly amended by be substitution of rum for theatre. But another question now arose to per plex him. Should ho eat first or drink first? Ho drew out the precious money. Now the old sporting instinct asserted itself. Ho would let chance decide, as any gentleman should. Tho coin was to pay the bills, and it should gnide his choice. If head came uppermost, the ruin first; if tail, the meal. Up ho tossed it, high and straight; down it came in the same path, but miss ing tho outstretched palm it struck the sidewalk on its milled edge. Impish, glittering, exultant, it rolled off the side walk into the gutter, jumped two or three little furrows of dirt, dodged an old cigur stump and disappeared into the sewer at tho corner. "Come, move on out o' that," said a policeman as ho whacked his clnb close to the man on the curb. New York Sun. Ucsolutlons. I will wear easier shoes than I did hist year.

FAMOUS YET UNKNOWN. WIVES WHO ARE HIDDEN HY THEIR HVS llAND's FAME, YET WHO ARE WON DERFUL WOMEN. The wife of a famous man will oft times be completely hidden by the dazzle of her husband's fame, and it is astonishing how little is known of those women whose husband's names are household words throughout the country. While the newspapers teem witli the name of Thomas A. Edison, nothing is comparatively known or heard of Mrs. Edison. Every news paper reader knows the name of Chauncey M. Depew, but of Mrs. Depew only the most casual refer ence is made. Even in England, no one ever hears of Lady Tennyson, or of Mrs. Gladstone. And the same is true of the wives of such men as P. T. llamum. Will Carleton, John Wana maker, Spurgeon, W. P. Howells, Dr. Talmadge, "Mark Twain," and James G. Blaine. Often these very wives have been the makers of their hus bands' careers. Their portraits are even less known than their lives. In a splendid series to be called "Unknown Wives of Well-known Men," The La dies' Home Journal, of Philadelphia, will during next year, sketch all these women and others, presenting their portraits, in many cases, for the first time in public.

PARENTS OFTEN RF.SPONSIIlt.E FOR THEM. Parents have proudly (old me of sickening battles with their children, will pitted against will, till at last the strongest physique gained the mastery and the child's "will was broken.' Such victories are worse than defeats. I have seen a father and his little boy stand pitted against each other, with a look in each face that I could call nothing but hatred; and when I thought of the power of the one and the helplessness of the other, 1 could not but admire the boy's pin- k. There should tbe no such occasions. The parent stands convicted of utter stu pidity in finding himself in any such situation. There are times when it is wiser for the parent to ignore some mood on the child's part. The part of the par ent should be in ever seeking the wise opportunity to impress the child with the virtue that is the reverse of some fault it falls into. Children pass through various phases, and some dragon of a fault that one has been worrying over and planting against suddenly vanishes into thin air, and is no more. Sometimes one fixes a fault by noticing it too much. The child repeats the fault through an ability to pass over it. It becomes like a hard word in the spelling-book that he has met before. He recognizes the word without knowing its name, and at the same moment remembers his strug gles with it, and the painful impression fills him with nervousness ; his mind becomes confused, and he cannot con trol his thought. It is wise with a fault, as with the hard word, to let it go to escape it. Omit the hard word; avoid anything to excite the habitual fault. Presently the child forgets the fault. It may be said that injudicious parents often create their children's faults. Harper's llazar. A Real Balsam is Kemp's Balsam.
