Charles Grcsvonor had not no long left collego life to bury himself among the pumpkins but that he could duly appreciate the piquancy which a uitio mystery lends to our ordinary hum drum existence. Knowing that tho younir lndv shunned olwerratiou his curiosity was at once aroused, and ho looked forwar.il to his first meeting with her with moio than ordinary eagerness. As to tho old lady well, lie was a young bachelor, remem ber, and however deeply old ladies may veil themselves, or however mysterious they may be, they can not expect to com mand much attention when there is a younger lady in the case. Tho curate called at Laburnani enttnm the day after tho return from tho sea side. He found the Smiths very quiet nnd unassuming peoplo. Mrs. Smith said very littlo and sighed a good deal, and Miss Smith, though a fluent and agree able speaker, as ho could iudco from the littlo she said, spoko only in answer to 111s questions, and kept her eves fixed on the ground, tho whole time ho was talk ing to her. "homething queer nboufthoso neonle." said tho Kov. Charles Qrosvenor to him self. "I wonder what it is. 1 mint draw them out. " His notion of drawing them out was to engage their services iu his parish work. Tho old lady sighed and consented. The -oung ono colored, cast down her eyes, and said that she was not fit for such work. Not religious enough, she meant. The Eer. Charles Grosvenor was much distressed to hear that Hiss Smith was not religious. Here, nt least, was a task congenial .to ,his soul. Ho was quito will, ing to convert farm laborers and to ro- form market gardeners, but when a de mure looking young lady, with an agreo ablo manner, offered herself, ho could not refrain from looking forward to the prospect of higher and nobler work. He talked seriously to Miss Smith, nnd Mks ,Smith listened seriously so seri ously that tho curate was taken by sur prise. Ho was almost alarmed at tho terrible earnestness with which the girl 6poko of religious questions, asked for spiritual consolation, and argued with him on tho dread subject of tho sinner's fate hereafter, The earnestness and thn vehemence of his parishioner, however, only increased, his interest in her. Now, when Mis3 Smith called herself n miserable sinner, tho Itev. Charles' Gros. venor thoroughly believed that sho was one. no accepted her confession in tho same sense tliat he would havo accepted it from tho patron of his living, or his mother, or any of his lady parishioners. Wo are all miserable sirmers, and being enjoined to say so, a clergyman can not for tho sake ot being complimentary, re fuse to Uellevo a young lady when she afliruis that sho is no exception to tho rule. But as to attaching any realiv serioiiB . import to tho confession of Miss Smith, that never occurred to him for a moment. He soothed her, offered her such consola tion as ho oquid, thought sho was a most pious, aud interesting girl, and fell madly in mve witit ner. Prom tho moment he ruado the dis covery Iiis conduct to her altered. He tempted her to talk less about hermit and to ho cheerful. He didn't want the Eirl lie was in love with to he too licralatentlv n miserable sinner, She was so cliann- mg and so nice that he felt she mluht very well keep that in the lMokgrnmul u littlo.

Now York Suu. Dnervtil Retaliation. Over.ihrewil lawyers often furnish their adversaries with weapons. Even the cleverest of them havo been put down in open court by equally ready witnesses. "Did you seo this tree that lias been mentioned, by tho roadside?" an advocate inquired. "les, sir; I saw it very plainly." "It was conspicuous, then?" Tho witness seemed puzzled by the now word. Ho repeated his former as sertion. "What is tlio difference." sneered the lawyer, "lietween plain aud conspic uous?" But ho was hoist with his own petard. Tho witness innocently answered : 1 can see you plainly, sir. amongst tho other lawyers, though you aro not a bit conspicuous." in another Instance, a blow directed against the character of a witness forci bly rocoilod. "You were in the company of these peoplo?" he was asked. "Of two friends, sir." "Friends! Two thieves, I supposo you mean." "That may bo so," was the dry retort 1 "they aro both lawyers.

One day Mr. Palmur went down into tho engine room ot his hotel, and in some way got into n dispute with the engineer. Mr. Palmer ended the matter by telling his employee to go to' the olllco and get his salary aud get nut. Now, this engineer had been in Mr. Palmer's employ 16 years, and knew every pipe, wire, and ropo in tlio big hotel. The manager of the house, who, by the way, is now a St- Louts landlord, was greatly put out when the faithful employee told him that tho "old man"" had "fired" him. Jim," said the manager, "I don't want you to go. Wo would bo in trouble for months if a new man took your place. I'll tell you what you do. Go and shave off tliat mighty lieard you wear, dress up in your Sunday clothes, and go and strike the 'old man' for your old job. " An Hour later Mr. rainier was ap proached by n smooth faced, neatly tressed man, who courteously inquired if lie needed the services of a first clasn nginenr. "That's just wliat I do," was Mr. Pal- nor s reply. "Tiie man i've hod has n discharged. He liad been a long ime in the place, but he got 'sassy.' As our papers are all right, you can try the iiace.
