TONY PASTOR'S RECOLLECTIONS.
To my mind the Joke most deserving of
veneration is l lie om- which concerns itself
with tho chicken who is evidently on the
wmiigsiilrt of the street. This Is the way
In which it used lo shape Itself In tho old
days:
Why does n chicken cioss tlm slteel!"
'I don't know; ivhy docs it?'
j I'o get on tho other side, of cottrsuV'
Of cottiap there arc r ureat many chest
nuts which run this one pretty close so far
aslnnllqulty is concerned. Onoiif tho old
chestnuts on Ihls sttbjccl ran as follows:
'I'ompey, wn got a hoiry modest gal down
to our house. Missus wanted her to sleep
up In her sowltm room last night and dogal
ohjecled to do so, 'cause dar was a cushion
on ue. uiuie wm needles in it, why was
dat objectionable, Olngcr?" 'lleeause she
said dat de needles had o cs.'
'1 lie changes have been rung on this In
definitely. One of the latest forms of It Is,
as tho gallery hoy will tell you. is about the
girl who is so modest in tho presence of
her lover that She Invntlnblu goes Into the
uoxt room to change her mind.
Ono of the oldest chestnuts thai, the
mltntrel and vmlety stage know anything
about used to be told In Ihls way:
Jeff, you know old Pop Downing, the
deacon, don't you? Well, de oder day his
hat blew off, and nfler a long chase he got
kinder exhausted, and stodped by a lamp
post. A gentleman was coming along,
kind oh a shy young follow, nnd do deacon
addressed him thus: -'Jly friend, I am a
deacon oh de church, and it am berry
wrong for me to swear; and you will, dare
fore, oblego mo berry much if yon will
damn dat hat for me!'
I know that tho clftstuuta I mention are
all much older than I am, two or three
times over. I am willing lo bet that the
chestnut of chestnuts Is to be found In Ihls
collection.
nE HAD NO USE FO? KIJJS.
"I hate kids," he said.
"Why?"
"I think they ought lo ho locked up in
asylums till they are old enough to tkc
care of themselves. If It hadn't been
for a kid well It might have been
"IHiat?"
"I loved this kid's mother She was a
rich and beautiful widow, and I was madly
In love with her, I was actually contemplat
ing in fact, 1 had just got to the point of
putting the delicate question. Wo were in
the drawing room. The kid was plajlng
In the corner. Forgetting all about th.it, I
put my arms fervently around tho widow's
waist, and implanted a passlonate.klss up
on her Hps, when the kld started up and
rushed at me. 'Don't you kill my
mamma,' and ran screaming Into the
kitchen, calling for the servants."
. "That needn't have "
"What? Marry a widow with ; child
like that? Hut Hie worst came a few
tluhtsfc after. I called .at tho.Jiouse,
Thero were several ladies there, and the
kid was being pelted all round. Of course,
the widow was all l ight, but that confound
ed child deliberately turned her hack,
didn't miniwthat,
but the mother, to he
nice, said:
"You darlln
Mr. ?"
child, don't you know
" 'Oh, yes' said tho Imp, very pertly ; 'oh,
yes, I keow you: jou are the man that
bltcri my mamma,' 1 need not I could
not describe tho effect."
A FISH MILKING A COW.
On the farm of Jacob GroIT, who lives
near Zodiac Springs, ln the Southern part
ofIho township. Is a largo pond where milk
cows are in the habit of standing during
the day. Ono of tho cows acted so strange
ly when at the pond that sho attracted the
attention of Mr. Groitand the farm hands.
Slu would go Into the water an hour or so
beforo the other cows and, .after wndlng
out a certain depth, would stop and com
mence lowing, as though to a calf. Im
mediately after she would remain jierfcctly
quiet, and seem contented. No cause could
he assigned for her strange conduct, al
though on several occasions she was closely
watched. Recently the water ln the pond
beeatno low, it scarcely roached tho cow's
knees, Shq made her usual dally trip, how
ever, and took up her old position, One
day last week sho was watched very closely
and It was discovered thatwhen she ceased
calling a large cat-fish would come to the
surface of tho water , and tuck milk until
its appetite was satisfied. The fish was
i caught bv Jr. Uroff lu the Sao River a
year ago, and was thrown into the pond.
A r-RETTY LETTER CASE.
Here is a pretty triflo for Christmas: Cut
a circular piece of cardboard about .eight
I Inches across; then a crcscont-shapcd piece,
nearly three inches across ln the widest
place. Hayo the outer edge fit the first
piece. Cover with some nice material; lino
with cambric; fasten the outer edges to
gether; hang with a cord and tntsels. Edge
the whole with the cord, If Ton choose,
Hang it so that ono corner of the crescent
Is considerably higher than 'the other. If
you cover with plain material, a bit of em
broidery or painting Is a groat Improvement
Very nice for unanswered letters.

THE KIVEH OF LIFE,
BV TIIOMAH CAMfllKU..
The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems a jcar,
And years HUo passing ages.
The gladsome current of our. yinilh,
Ere passion vet dlsoi dcrs,
Steals lingering liken iher smooth
Along Its gi!isy borders.
Hut as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrow's shafts lly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When Joys luvo lostlhelr bloom and bieetb,
And life itself is vapid.
Wliv, as we near tlm Falls of Death,
Peel we Its tide more rapid?
It may bo strange. yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding,
When ono by one our friends have gone
And left our booms bleeding?
Heaven gives our ears of failing strength
ludcnmtfjlnglleetucss; .
And those of ymiiii, a seeming length,
Propoitlniied to their swectiie.ss.
HER ESCAPE.

"And so, my dear Miss Lynn, since an
examination of your father's private ef
fects has proyen that hp was In arrears
very considerahl", and that thero is a heavy
def'ciency, I am compelled (believe me, it
grieves me deeply) to inform you that there
will bo nothing left. Your father did
wrong, but on his death bed he emieayorcd
to atone. All that ho possessed was given
oyer into I ho, hands of tho man he had
wronged whose funds he had appropriat
ed"
"Stop, Mr. .Vorris!"
Tho girl's, slight figure, .in lis pathetic
mourning garments, was drawn up to its
full helgth; the pale faco was like matblc,
mid the great dark eyes blazed with indig
nation.
"Not ann'het word against my father,
sir I command you!" Noiinp I.ynn
lifted her hand witli a rerciiiplnry gesture
which checked the words upon tho lawyer's
lips. "Warren f,yn may have made' mis
lakes no human being Is exempt frojn er
rors of judgment but of willful wrong ho
was never gui'ty. How dare you sland
there and slander the dead? Oh, shame;
shame."
She. was swinging her white hands wild
ly, pacing up and down the l.twyet's olllce
In anguish and despair. Lawyer Morris
watched her with his hungry eyes, and
somehow a suspicion of molsluro began to
dim their brightness.
"My dear child" In a low, soothln
tone "try to he calm, will you not.' Miss
Norlne, then: are fads, disagiecahlo facts,
u all our lives which have to be faced
somehow. It rests with ourselves whether
wo hear our tilals with patience orrepin
log. ily poor child, j tm must face the in
ovltable. Your father, urged on by some
mistaken Impulse, has ccilaluly wionged
his employers. lie was fm years cashier
In tho Leland Street Hank, and was lm
pllcllly trusted. It scums that ho was be
set by tho mania for speculation which has
devastated so many homes ahcady: and
having Invested all Ids own sparo fund
with disastrous insults, ho (how upon tho
money lutrmted to his cate. It was cilml
nal; but ho is dead, fnd ho triud to alone,
Norlne, yon are penniless to-day. Hut yott
lire not friendless; nml lunro you can marry
a rich man if yon will, Nell Alden, the
only son of Ihe president of the Leland
Street Hank, his spoken lo nie, begging
me lo use nivnlluenee wilh yon. "Ho has
loved von lontf. tny dear. Forgive me for
mentioning tills at such a moment; but
thought that it might help you to bear the
trouble which you caunot avert nor alter
to know that a good man loves you, and
wants vou for his wife. ou will never
know a wish itngratined. Norinc. Nell
good and true, and you will ho happy as
his-"
"You have said enough. Mr. Jloirls,
the girl's cold voice Intervened Icily, "It
entirely out ot tho question. I would never
marry any man with this stain upon m
father's name,"
The lawyer littered an ejaculation of ill
may.
"My dear Miss Norlne, yon must be
mad I Why, Noll loves you. I am only an
old lawyer, dry as diut myself, but I am
not too old to appreciate real loyo."
"Mr. Alden is very kind;" tho girl'
voice faltered a It I tie in spite of her efforts
to be calm "but since there Is a stain upon
my namc.I would never ally it to another's.
ROUGH
This Is final, Mr. Morris. Good morning."
And, with a dignified bow, Norlne Lynn
left the lawyer's ofilce and went hack to
her home.
Hut, strtvo as she might, she could not
silence tho singing bird In her heart tho
sweet, low-votccd singer' who told her of
the gift of love from the heart of a good
man.
"lie Is so noble and true!" she wills
pcrcd softly, a faint flush tinging her
checks, "1 could not drag him down In
sttcll a way. Hut oh! papa papal I don't
believe that you were guilty. I will never
believe it. And I mean to prove tuy
father's innocence to tlio world."
Her eyes flashed with ft loyal light; she
shut her white lecth resolutely together,
and a look of firm determination settled
over tho palo, sweel face.
She was only twculy, and had no legal
claim upon any living creature; but her
faith In her dead father's Innocence was
"firm as the everlasting blils."
When sho reached homo soon to be her
home no longer she found .lohn Arnold
there.
A dark, slnstcr-lonklng man, who had
been her father's friend, and assistant
cashier in Ihe hank. Hut Norlno had
never trusted hlin, and of late sho had
grown to dlsllko him Intensely. He came
to her side, his unpleasant eyes gazing
Into tho girl's white faro with keen sci un
ity. '.My dear Miss '.ynn" in a smooth, oily
lone "I have boon waiting to see you.
Miss Norine," trying to take one of her
cold trembling hands In his own, "I lmyn
hcaid of your trouble Ihe discovery of
your father's guilt."
"Hush I" shu commanded, sternly. "Jiy
father was not guilty. John Arnold"
(she Unshed about with a resolute light In
her dusky eyes) "my father was Innocent,
and you know it." IIo smiled.
"Noilnc, I can lay my handson pceur-
lain facts which will clear your father's
name from the stain upon it," ho said
slowly, gazing into her white faco wilh
eyes all afire. "I promlso to do this; I
swear to clear Warren Lynn's honor, and
sot him right before ills fellow-men that
the name which shall he carved upon his
tombstone shall bo clean and honest; all
this I will do, Norlne.upon one condition."
That condition Is " She stopped
short.
"That you become my wife. .Vfarry inc,'
Noilnc, and I will do all this, for jour
sake." Her white face did not relax a
muscle; her volco was low, and clear and
calm, as she mado answer;
."Do sol Lot my father Id; exonerated
publicly then come to me. I will bo your
wife, John Arnold, if you are willing to
marry me knowing that I do not love you
I can never lovo you."
"No matter. I am willing to take you
as you aro, knowing that in tlmo loyo will
come. Beforo to-morrow night Warren
Lynn's namo shall he cleared from the
stain upon it."
She shivered nil over as shn hoard theso
words, but she turned her face away and he
lid not see tho heartbreak in hei eyes.
Tho next day tho community was elect
rified by the strange news that H'arren
jim had been wiongly accused. The
real culprit came to tho foro witli Ids con
fession of guilt, aud ample restitution was
made. So Norino did not lose her home,
nor was she -forced to give up the compe
tency which was lawfully hers. Her faco
as palo as marble, but hor eyes shone
Ith the light of trlulnph. She would
have ruined her own life willingly to sec
her father's name cleared from Ihe shadow
of a crime: she had ruined nml darkened
her life. Tlm criminal was sentenced to
prison; and Notlno prepared for her mar
riage with John Arnold.
It was the night beforo the saciillco was
to take place. All day Norlne had been
haunted by a strange presistcnt feeling
that sQinelhlng was going to happen, some
thing dustiued lo Influence her whole life.
Sometimes God sends these shadowy warn
ings to us if only- wo would heed them.
Sho went out into tho gionuds at last, to
try and light out llio battle alonn in I lie
open air, witli only God to sec.
She did not love John Aruoldjand oh
It was a hitter confession which sho mado
to herself she did loyo Nell Alden.
Yet hero sho was, about to chain herself
for life perhaps n long life- to the man
for whom sho felt only mrrsliin.
The sound of huriyiug footsteps made
her start and glance up. She saw Nell
Alden coming rapidly toward her, A tall
line-looking fellow one of Nature's noble'
tner.
"Miss Noline,"- in a I rumbling voice
I havo news, dreadful news for you,
John Arnold has been Injured. Ihcre
was a railroad accident you know that ho
had left town, and was now on his way
home? and he was mot tally wfltinded
Norlne he- is dead! And ilor.'t look at
me with such frightened eyes beforo ho
ilied ho mado a confession, which, painful
as It must bo to you yon still must know.
Norinc. bo confessed that ho was tho
criminal who had defrauded tho bank,
That ho Ihrow the criino upon your lather,
who was as Innocent as a babe; and then
to gain your hand in marriage ho bribed
another man to confess tho crime. That
man Is in prison; but was soon to have es
caped so Arnold confessed and allowed
to leayo the country with a goodly sum of
money as remuneration. Hut death has
overtaken John Arnold, and Norlne,
Norlne, look up and tell me that you did
not loyo him and that you do care a little
for me?"
His arms were about her: the dark head
unon his breast, while n low, trembling
voice falte:ed:
Not a little, Nell but with all my
heart."
And ho was satisfied.
They havo been married for long years
now and Notlne never thinks of the past
without a shudder, ni:d a prayer of thanks
to Heaven for her escape from a fearful
doom tho doom of a loveless marriage.
