It was nearly sunset, when, looking
toward the. road that ran at the bot
tom of the little hill on which her
house stood, Belinda saw the tall form
of Aaron, driving a black and white
cow before him. Ho had discarded his
high silk hat for a straw one, but other
wise he was attired as in the morn
ing. "Now, den!" he exclaimed, ten min
utes afterward, "wot yer. tlnk of dat
keow,- Sister Tlnsley? Dat's a rmm
atuus fin' keow wot I fotches yer."
Aunt Belinda looked approvingly at
the animal. "How much milk do she
SUV?" she asked.
" 'Bout three gallon, Jes' like cream."
"Whar you buy her, Brudder Aaron?"
"Didn' tbuy her," he answered. "I
done raise her. Had dat keow when
ehe were a littl' cah'f. Lemme go put
her In de shed. Den we kin talk more
'bout de blsness of de mornln'."
"S'ose you milks her fust, Brudder
'Aau-on',. -I'll .go fotch a pail. It's 'bout
milkin' time, an' I wants ter tas' her
tnllk."
Involuntary Aaron glanced up and
lawm .thjf road, and then he said:
"Dunno ',bout milkin' - In my. bes'
breeches, Sister Tinsley."
"Oh, you kin be keerful," said she,
'ain' I wants ter tas' her milk," and she
went Into the house for a pail.
Aaron ,was not a very rapid milker,
but In. the course! of time he finished
and,brought the pail to Belinda.
j , "Dat's not much milk," said she:
' "look like ver keow done kuv mos' her
r""' milk itx Hie mornln'." .
"Dat's soV said Aaron, "Jest' wait 'til
mornln' and yer sees de milk."
"All right," said Aunt Belinda, "you
kin tuck her to de shed an' tie her up."
When Aaron came back he wanted
to sit down and talk matrimony, but
liellna would have none of it.
"I'se busy now," said she, "I'se got
ter iron -Captain Cramp's shirts. You
come In de mornln, Bruder Aaron,
arter breakfas' an' den I'll talk bls
ness." "Got tone job o' milkin" out of yer,
anyway,' said she to herself as he de
parted, i
When Aaron was entirely out of sight
Aunt Belinda took the cow from the
shed and led her down to the old field
and left" her near the fence which ran
by the road aide, where there was
some grass growing In among the
bushes In the fence corners.
Very soon Moses Lipscomb appeared
upon the scene, dressed In his ordinary
cloithes, tarnished, torn and easy of fit.
He was very warm and very much ex
cited. ..
"Look hyar. Aunt B'linda," said he,
"dat ar long-legged br&ek Aaron was
down at de stor' at de cross roads an'
braggln- dat he. was goln' ter marry
yer, an' sayin' dait It was all fixed an"
settled. Wot dat mean. Aunt B'linda?"
"Dat mean he lie." said Aunt Belinda,
quietly, "nuthln' 'sprlsin' 'bout dat."
Moses' face brightened. "Den how
'bout me, Aunt B'linda? Gwine ter
take me? Yer says you guv me my
ahnser ef I comes arter supper."
"Taln't so easy, Moses," replied Aunt
Belinda, speaking meditavely, "dar's
lots of tings to be thunk 'bout. Now
d.-irs dls one ting, I wants a kpow an'
ef a husban' comes 'long wot kin guv
n
"Keow !"Ilo Ejaculated.
me a. keow. wot de good of my takln'
one wot cahn't? Kin you guv me a
keow, Moses?"
The brown countenance of her suitor
lengthened. "Keow!" he ejaculated.
"Yes, Mb," said Aunt Belinda, "an1
I'se got. ter see le keow fus' 'fore I
guvs any man my ahnser. Cahn't take
no man an' den trus' him for de keow.
Now, don' yer say annudder word,
Moses Lipscomb. I hain't got no time
to be italkln' now. 'I'se got ter finish
Ironln' Captain Camp's shirts, for he
wants dem termorrer mornln 'fore
breakfas'. So git 'long, Moses, an' ef
you comes termorrer arly an' tells me
ft you kin guv me a keow or: ef yer
cahn't I'll guv yer yer ahnser. do 'long
now," and she went into the house and
left him,. !
For a few moments Moses stood as
If 'he had just been sentenced to the
county prison. ,
"Keow!" said he to himself. "Ef she'd
asked me to guv her de handl' of a milk
pall I hain't got none," and then, turn
ing, he walked mburnfully away.
When Aunt Belinda opened her door
the next morning and looked out upon
the dew-besprlnkled landscape, spnrk
llng under the first rays of the morning
sun, she saw Moses Lipscomb standing
In front of the house. His hands were
In his pockets, his soft old hat was
stuck' on the side of his head and near
him was a bla'ck and white cow, con
tentedly nibbling the short grass.
"Mornln', Aunt B'linda," shouted
Moses, "hyar I Is an' dar she. Don'
say I don', guv yer no keow" Dars a
monstrous fin' animal an' I fJIbh her to
yer an'.. I guv her ter yer. Now wot
you say ter dat, Aunt B'linda?;',
Aunt Belinda put her hands on her
hips and threw a severe expression Into
her face.. '
"Dat's a mighty fin' keow," said she
"but look hyar, Moses Lipscomb, whar
you git dat keow? You knows you
hain't gt no keow, end you knows yer
never saved money 'nough outer yer
wages, when yer gits eny, ter buy de
hide of a keow. let 'lone a hull one.
Nowdenyou stan' up straight 'fore
me an' tell me whar you git yer."
Moses stood up before her and looked

B'linda,".; said he'- "I done stole dat
keow."
"Stole her!" cried Aunt Belinda, "and
fotch her to me!"
"Dat's 'zaetly wot I done," said he.
"You knows jes' as well as I does I
hain't got no keow an' couldn" never
buy one, an' when I knows I can't have
yer, Aunt B'linda, wldout I gits a
keow, I'se boun' ter git a keow, nn'
says I ter myself: 'Moses Lipscomb, ef
you kin tote a three hundred poun'
hog, ef yer tries ter, yer kin git a keow
ef yer tries ter." But bress my soul,
Aunt li'hndal I HutiVt no need ter try,
'cos when I was agoln' homo yes'day
evenln' Ue fus' ting I see when I gits
down to de road was dat brack an'
w'lte keow eatln' grass by de fence In
de ole field. Lor!. How 1 Jumps when
I see her. Says I: 'Moses, de good
angel Gabriel sen'. you dat keow.' Dat
keow don' b'long 'bout hyar an' I
reckon she b'long to dat druv wot wen'
through hyar t'other day, an' she done
git Ids' in-de bushes an' was luf b'hln'.'
So I jes' gits over de fence an' I sits
down on de grass near by her an' I
watch her all night, an' arly dls morn
ln' I druv her up hyar. I'se bin waitln'
more'n two hours when yer come out,
Aunt B'linda, an' ef yer keeps her In
de shed dat ar driver won' fin' her when
he comes back, wot he cahn't do an'
leave de res' of de cattl'."
"You done stole her!" repeated Aunt
Belinda.
"Yes, I done jes dat," replied Moses,
"an' wot's more, I'd stole forty keows
rather dan not git you fer a wife, Aunt
B'linda." - - . ,
"Moses Lipscomb," said she after a
slight pause, "you Is wot I calls a one
sin man. Yous done gone an' stole dat
keow, but dar you stops. You don'
come ter. me. un' tell no lies 'bout It.
Now dar's dat long-legged Aaron, he
done stole a keow an' fotch her ter me
an' tell me a bucketful of lies 'bout
her. I'se lived long 'nough ter know
dat I cahn't git no husban', 'specially
in dis part ob de county, wldout no sin
at all, an' so I'se boun' ter take de one
wot's got de leas' an' I reckon dar ain't
nobody round hyar wot's got less dan
one, an' so, Moses, I'll take you. An'
now I'll guv you de milk pail an' you
milk dat keow, 'cos taln't-fair ter de
pore dumb creetur ter let her go not
milked, an' den you tuck her whar you
fin' her an' leave her dar. When you
done dat yer kin come back an' have
yer breakfas'. Ef dar's one ting I
hates," she continued as she went Into
the house, "It's milkin'!"
It was-about an hour afterward and
Moses was still: eating : his bacon and
dipping his corn bread Into the melted
and bubbling fat when Aunt Belinda,
looking out oft her window, saw the
long-legged .Aaron striding over the
field. He was dressed as on the day
before except that he wore a pink rose
In his buttonhole.
As Aunt Belinda liked to have her
conferences outside of the house, where
there was room to talk, she went out
to receive him.
"B'linda," said he, as he took off his
hat and held out his hand, "my deah
B'llda, whar's de woman on de top of
de earf wot more gladden de heart "
"Stop dat, you long-legged Aaron!"
she cried. "Wot you mean ter speak
like dat ter me an' call me sweeheart
names? Don't yer do dat no more."
"Wot you mean?" cried Aaron. "Ain't
that 'fair twixt us all flx'd? Didn't I
guvyerdat keow fer mar'age settl'men',
paid In 'vnnce? Didn't you p'omisc
me "
"Go 'long wld yer!" shouted Aunt
Belinda. "How yer dare come hyar
wld yer lies an' yer thieveries? I seen
yer yes'day mornln' comln' over do
Held! I seen yer stop an' look at dat
brack an' w'lte keow, an' I knowed you
knowed dat keow didn' 'long In dls hyar
neighborhood, an' I Jes' thunk ter my
self I'd ask dat long-legged Aaron ter
guv me a keow an' see wot he do. Den
yer done stole dat brack an' w'lte keow
an' fotch her ter me an' tell me lot o'
lies 'bout raisin' her from a littl' cah'f!
Now let me tell yer, you Aaron, dat
brack an' w'lte keow Is my keow. Day
'fore yes'day I bought her outer a druv
of cattl' an' paid fer her wld money wot
I done save from washln' an' Ironln',
nn' I put her In dat field, an' nobody
'bout hyar done know I'se got dat
keow. A'n you done stole my own
keow an' come hyar wld a pack o' lies
an' ask me ter marry j'er on 'count of
yer guvin' her ter me my own keow!"
"Mis' Tingsley, said Aaron, drawing
himself up, "de langwldge ynu's usin'
ter me is Tensive ter my mln', Ef
you's de kin' o' woman wot uses slch
langwldge 1 don't want no wedlock
wid yer, an' I don't want ter hyar no
more fool talk 'beout yer buyln' dat
keow. I'se too ole fer any uech tales as
dat. Jes' you guv me buck my keow
an' I retires from dls controwersy. An'
look hyar, Miss 'Tlnsley, ef yer don't
guv her back I'll .have yer 'rested for
'talnln' keows on false pertenses."
At this moment! a -sudden noise was
heard Inside the , house, a stool was
tumbled over the floor, a table was
pushed roughly to one side, there was
a (iik-k stamping of feet and In an In
stant Moses Lipscomb, his eyes glaring
and his head lowered like a bull ready
to charge a matador, appeared In the
doorway. ,
"Git, you, Aaron!" cried Aunt Belin
da. The Injunction was not needed.
The long-legged suitor gave one glance
at the doorway. This was not the first
time he had seen Mises Lipscomb with
his head down and his eyes glaring,
and without hesitation he turned and
fled, with Moses after hlin, roaring like
an Infuriated king of the herd.
Aaron's legs were very long; his silk
hat fell off, a.nd he did not stop to pick
it up, and his fright and his strides
were so great 'that he soon left his pur
suer far behind. Moses stopped and,
giving the hat a kick that would have
done credit to a college fott ball man,
and, shaking his fist after his flying
foe, he shouted:
"Ef ever I kotch you, youldaddy-long-legs,
I'll butt yer low an' I'll kick
yer high,' 'til' yer -never knows de dif
ference twixt de earf an' de skyl Comln'
hyar ah' talkln' ter my B'linda" 'bout
'restin' her fer false pertenses an' a
keow " f t
-. WhenMoes returned, lie found Aunt
Belinda seated In a chair, laughing un
til tears ran down her Cheeks.
"He make me 'craf kmy sides!)' she"
exclaimed, "I Jes' say ter him: "GUI'
an' he more'n got!"
Moses sat down on the gross, -wiping
hie face with the corner of a torn shirt
sleeve ' ' '. :.". ' '
"Was all dat de true tac',". he. said,
"wot you done say 'bout buyln'. dat
keow am'-her eln' yer keow all 'do
time?"
"True as Gospel," said Bhe, 'I kin
show yer de 'ceilpt wot I ma.de.de driver
guv me 'fore I paid him. .Wouldn''
trus' no stranger like him wot ru-Jght
come back hyar sayin' he done los' a
keow In Perkins' ole fields."
"Den, B'linda," eald Moses, f,I "reck
ons I's a. no sin man, cos' ef I done guv
back de keow wot I stole to de pusaon
wot I stole her from, den I'se all right."
"Go 'long, you Moses," cried she, "I
haln'it got noitlme ter talk sich fool talk
wid yer. I'se got ter iron Captain
Camp's shirts an' tuck 'em down ter
him, an' you go git me some good light
wood fer ter he'it de irons wld, , and
when you done dat I'll guv yer 10 cents

money ter pay 'him wid, an' ef we's iter

THE SHADY SIDE Otf 1894.
Some Statistics About Crime and Its In
crease That Almost Tukcs One's Brcuth
Away.
From the Philadelphia Tresa.;
The mine of fucts that the Chicago
Tribune includes in its annual record
of lyn'chings, murders, suicides and em
bezzlements for 1.894 will furnish the
student of social subjects a century
hence with some of his most valuable
material. The statistics for the year
Just past have a more than ordinary In
terest, as they make It possible to esti
mate In a crude way whether times of
depression In business are an Induce
ment to crme. So far as the record of
1894 has weight It will go to prove the
theory that adverse times are more fer
tile in crime than prosperous times, for
the number of murders, suicides and
embezzlements all show a startling In
crease not only over last year but also
over any previous year's record. This
would seem to strengthen the belief
thait "the devil finds some work for Idle
humlH to do."
Either past records have been Incom
plete or else the crime or murder was
unusually prevalent In 1894. There were
9,800 murders reported, an lncrase of
almost exactly 60 per cent, over the
previous year. This Is a startling rec
ord. In 1893 there were 6,615 murders
reported, 6,791 in 1892, and 5,906 In 1891.
Allowing fur the Increase In population
and the greater care taken In gathering
Information, there is still a larger in
crease in the number of murders than
can be accounted for except by a grow
ing propensity for this crime. The
causes of these murders appear in the
following table, quarrels maintaining
the lead, as they probably always have,
and the large number- due to strikes
being noticeable, .

Number of I.cgnl i:.ecut Ions.
1 The number of legal executions In the
year looks ludicrously small In compari
son with the number of murders. There .
were only 132, Which, wihlle an Increase
of six over the executions in 1893, bears
no comparison to the Increase In mur
ders. The doubtful honor of having the
largest number of hangings belongs to
Alabama, which h-ad thirteen, Texas
and Missouri followed with nine each,
and Pennsylvania comes fourth with
eight hangings, while New York elec
trocuted only two.. Forty-one legal exe
cutions occurred 'In the North and 91 in
the South. Judging from the small pro
portion that the legal executions bear to
the murders, that crime appears to be
one of the safest to commit. A mur
derer had about one chance In seven
four of being legally executed, while,
calculating the population of the coun
try at 65,000,000, every man, woman
and child ran one chance In 6,653 of be
ing murdered, a greater chance than lf.
Is comfortable to contemplate. .
It Is not encouraging to know that
the lynchings exceeded the legal execu
tions by nearly B0 per cent. The latter
numbered 132, and the former 190. The
colored race furnished the lynchers
wltih more than two-thirds of their vic
tims, 134 negroes having been lynched
and 56 white persons. The South
lynched 166 persons, and the North 24,
or In the proportion of about seven In
the former neighborhood to one In the
latter. Georgia saw the largest num
ber of lynchings, twenty having oc
curred In that state, while Alabama
and Kentucky followed with nineteen
each. Mississippi had sixteen lynch
ings and Tennessee and Alabama fif
teen each. Pennsylvania, to Its shame
be H said, had one 'lynching. .Only about
one-fifth of the lynchings Of colored
men was duo to the offense which has
been held up as an excuse for taking
summary vengeance on the perpetrator.
A large number were for such offenses
as stealing and barn burning, showing
how rapidly the violation of the law In
one Instance leads to other violations.
The total lynchings number ten less
than In 1893.
( The Statistics of Suicide.
Another proof that Idleineas -leads to
culme Is furnished by ithe tncrtaje In
the number of suicides. The total bu
oldes Jn the country In 1894 Were 4,912,
as compared with 4,436 11893; and
3,860 In 18927 The causes ware thie eam-e
and bear nearly 'the same pii6p(rtlon to
each other s In pait years. They are
given In the following table; ,
Despondency 1,999

Insane 457
Liquor 2xt
Ill-health 270
DomeBtlo Infelicity. ...A.. 241
Disappointed love.?. 'fi
Business io"Hes. 122 -
A surprisingly small numbeir of sui
cides Is ascribed to business losses, (Ally
about half itihe number that 'Is ascribed
to disappointment In love. This would
tend to show that the loss of love has
a more depressing influence' fharv the
lo3S of money. For the first time Ithe
record howa Bhait poison was preferred
to the pistol as a means of eulolde, 1,729
persons having chosen the former
method to 1,504 who chose the latter.
Hanging was preferred by 720, drown
ing by 373, and throat cutting by 347.
Five fltawed (themselves to death and
four ecstitered themselves with dynamite.-.
Stilt another discouraging feat
ur it ithe yeair was the embezzlements,
public and private, wthloh amounted to
fro cinormous total of $25,234,112, as

PATTI SINGS TO THE QUEEN
Services of tho Diva Required to Drive
Away the Blues Regret at the Death
of Stevcnson-An Episode of
tho Music Hall.
; London, Dec. 25. Madame Pattl vis
ited the queen during last week, and
after dinner sang seven songs, Includ
ing "Battl, Battl," VHome, Sweet
Home," and "The Last Rose of Sum
mer." The last two Pattl Invariably
renders for encores, and she makes the
old Bongs very beautiful. They just
pleased Her Majesty's present humor,
as what with the anniversary of the
Prince Consort's und the Princess
Alice's death and the sudden passing
away of poor Sir John Thompson, tho
old lady has had a terrible
fit of the blues. With., refer
ence to . the laBt sad affair,
after the occurrence the queen had the
body removed to the Victoria tower,
and us the dead minister was a Catho
lic, Father Longinotto was sent for and
came at once and performed a service
which was attended by command by
by several members of the household.
Countless years must have passed since
a Catholic service was last held In
Windsor Castle. The coffin was fol
lowed by all the officers of the house
hold and that means some very high
names! And Her Majesty herself laid
two wreaths on the coffin. There ap
pears to be no parallel case In Windsor
annals, but I wonder if a similar in
cident on the continent has been gener
ally noticed? On the day following the
death of Sir John Thompson, Denza, a
famous astronomer, interviewed the
pope and received his blessing. Alas!
It didn't bring poor Denza much luck
for he died sudenly in the Vatican on
the following morning.
Francis Mason has captured Lady
Evelyn Lindsay, a daughter of the
Earl of Crawford, and an exceedingly
bright and lively young lady. His pa
Is very well off. Indeed, and not long
ago purchased for 70,000 a fine new
red brick residence In Grosvenor
square, the vender being Lord Aber
deen, a not over wealthy man. The
young lady's daddy Is the premier earl
of the kingdom of Scotland, one of the
nobility with more nose than "ready!"
While on the question of the root of all
evil It is stated that the dowry of the
daughter of the Duke of Westminster
is 400,000. Dolly of Teck and his bride
will be able to hold up their heads now,
which is well, as Dolly has known much
more of the want of than the use of a
fiver for many years, In .fact, before
the Duchess of Cambridge died the
Tecks were far more popular than af
fluent. Lord Crnssey Is to be the new gover
nor of Victoria. The post Is not a rich
one, but-Australians make things very
comfortable for their rulers (nominal)
and given a popular man, he Is sure to'
have a good time. Brassey Is the right
man In .the right place, too; he Is rich
and democratic and is also a capable
man and Is sure of a right royal recep
tion. Lord Sandhurst is to be Bom
bay's new governor. He Is a great
favorite of Vicky's and Is also well
stocked with the good things of this
world. Fancy giving 800 for a sable
clonk, and yet this Is the price that was
paid for a cloak belonging to the Count
ess of Wal-rlck. It was stolen recently
and eventually found In a ditch, not
much the worse for Its adventures. The
countess Is very anxious to explain
that It was a present, and adds that she
would never think of giving so much for
a single garment herself in these times
of want. .
Charlie Beresford Is going In for poli
tics and wants the admiralty to let him
retire from active Bervlce, as he may
not take a seat while In receipt of full
pay, and you may safely bet (providing

The most extraordinary regrets are
being expressed in the English papers
over the death of Robert Louis Steven
son. It is passing strange that a man
living out of the world at Samoa should
so touch the hearts of all men. The
papers one and all agree In stating that
the public generally feel as though they
had lost a friend. To read Stevenson's
works Is to feel with him and under
stand clearly the dispositions of his
characters. It its fitting that he should
lie under the shadow of a mountain
peak and that an obelisk should stand
aloft a prominent landmark from the
sea.
The consolidated suits of the Fltz
goralds and Brooking have after a lonrf
trying at Inst come to an end. An
Irish land owner, Gerald Fitzgerald,
sued for a divorce by reason of the
adultery of his wife with Captain
Arthur Brooking, p. The case was nn
eventful one. Mr. Fitzgerald wus un
doubtedly (proved to be a cruel hus
band, but evidently had plenty of
provocation. It was rather useless for
the parties concerned to deny Intimacy,
as they were proved to have met at a
London hotel and to have passed sev
eral hours In a wood together. Brook
ing gave hlm,self away .entirely by
writing to the husband -and admitting
that he had done him a great wrong
and praying him not to take steps
against his wife. A painful part of the
case was the alleged Intimacy of Fitz
gerald with the governess. This young
ludy placed herself In the hands of doc
tors who gave evidence on her behalf,
but this did not prevent a cruel cross
examination. In the result the hus
band obtained his divorce, but with
only one farthing damages. All the
parties are well known In society.
General regret Is felt at the destruc
tion by fl'r of part of Winchester Bar
racks. The firemen, aided by the wind,
which fortunately veered round and
blew strongly, managed to Bave the his
toric hall of Ellas de Dereham, built In
the time of Henrv III. nut irmnnmMa
damage was done. Originally William
the Conqueror built a castle on the site
which. was added to In the reign of
Henry III. The castle was held during
me war oetween Charles I and Parlla
rnent, the Roundheads destroying It on
Its recapture some time ftr the hnm
of Naseby. The ancient hall, however,
was sparea.

An Inspiration from Tammany.
The ' "Tammany" police news from
New York Is not pleasant reading and
we In London undoubtedly go "one
better" as far as guardians of the peace
are concerned, and a man found re
ceiving gratuities Is at once dismissed.
"A man may wear a suit of blue
And in his way look nobby,
But warning take from gay New York
And never trust a 'Bobby.'
So do be good and badness stop
Or big expenses you may 'cop!' "
In a recent Issue of the Daily Graphic
appeared a curious picture. It repre
sented hospital bandages and splints
with an occasional oye, nose and mouth
showing out from the background. It
was a picture of Borne of the players
In the Yale versus Harvard foot ball
game! Above were the portraits- of the
men before the struggle. This rather
takes one back to student days In Ger
many, where a few slashes across the
face were considered an Improvement
rather than a defacement of beauty!
But It Is scarcely "sport."
The body of Fuller, the unfortunate
man who attempted to dive from the
tower bridge, has been recovered, and
at the Inquest it transpired that to at
tain his object Fuller disguised himself,
affecting a wig and a dark beard. Ex
perts say that the man must have died
on coming Jn contact with the water,
as he fell In a horizontal position.
At a Ladies' Athletic club, the fair
damsels proved that the majority of
them could jump five feet, several
going better, while at foils and quarter
Staff they were very proficient. This Is
terrible and must be stopped at once,
as a woman with such a training would
be no mean exponent of poker exercises
and it is really hard lines on men who
occasionally go to the club for another
kind of "poker" and return home late
and sometimes "so so!"
At the Pavllllon Music Hall the other
night there occurred an edifying scene.
Miss Bessie Bellewood, a well-known
star, sang two songs which were some
what of the chestnut variety, where
upon a certain section of the British
public rose from Its position among the
gods and dldwhat ithegeese do. ButBes
sle, the pride of White Chapel, is not
made of the stuff that quietly takes a
rebuff, so she promptly told the dissent
ers what "she thought of them In the
choicest phraseology. She alluded, with
emotion, to the fact that she was "do
ing 'her best," and said it was her "liv
ing" etc., and wound up with a general
invitation to every man of her own
weight to meet her, there and then, at
the stage door, whereupon there arose
a counter-demonstration, and things
ruled exceedingly lively, and Bessie
walked off, breathing defiance. If any
gentleman of Bessie's tonnage had met
her invitation, there Is little doubt that
the gentle girl would have promptly
popped him upon the nose, as Bessie
has done it before, and, I assure you,
that the police proceedings were amus
ing. I well remember the time when
this young lady assaulted a cabby and
protected a certain weakly lordllng
when In trouble with another Jarvey.
We are quite used to having daughters
of the clergy on the stage, but now we
have the daughter of Mr. Wallace,
member of parliament (and awful
bore!), wfao Is to appear on the boards
at an eurly date. Richard Willis.
. THAT NIGHT.
You and I, and that night, with Its per
fume and glory!
The scent of the locusts the light of
the moon:
And the violins weaving the waltiers a
Btory,
Enmeshing their feet In the weft of tho
tune,
Till their shadows uncertain
Reeled round on the curtain,
While under the trellis we drank In the
June.
Soaked through with the midnight the
cedars were sleeping.
Their .shadowy tresses outlined In the
-bright' .?'
Crystal, moon-smitten mists, where the
fountain's heart, leaping
Forever,
Forever, forever burst, full with do
light; And its lisp on my spirit
Fell fuint as that near It
Whose love like a lily bloomed out In
the night,
O, your glove was an odorous sachet of
blisses!
The breath of your fan was a breeze of
Cathay!
And the rose at your throat was a neat of
spilled klsseB!
And the music In fancy, I hear it today,
As 1 sit here, confessing
Our secret, and blessing
My rival who found us, and waltzed you
away.
