Chauncey Is In such demand for such enteitainments that he usually comes late and then staits his speech b explaining why he was detained. 'Iheie weio only twenty-five or thirty pieaent at this dinner and some one suggested that they "get one" on Chauncey by not laughing at any of his jokes. As usual, Chauncey came late and was the last speaker. After explaining his lateness he started to tell blde-spllttlng stories but did not get a smile In letuin. The colder the au dience the moie he exerted himself to be w itty but everything fell Hat. Final 1 he stopped In disgust and as he sat down inquired fiom his neighbor at table what the trouble was.

The Kecoid would lespecttully submit the following dozen tales as Its choice: "Wushington Iiv Ings's "Hip Van Winkle, " i:dgur Allan Poe'b "Gold Rug," Nathan iel Hawthorne's "Gieat Stone Face;" Edwa.nl Eveiett Hale's "Man With out a County," Biet Haite's "Out easts of Poker Flat;" Mailc Twuln's "The Jumping Fiog;" Thomus Nelson Page's "iiuilul of the Guns," Joel Chandler Hauls, an "ITncle Kenius" tale; Kichaid Malcolm Johnston, one of the "Dukesboiough Tales," Francis Hopklnson Smith's "Colonel Caller of Caiteisvllle;" Mary N.

Otherwise, "The Muideis of Rue Moigue" might be substituted as his best known and most popularly apiji eclated stoiy Haw thorne's "Wakelle'ld," or his tale or Ethan Brand and the Unpardonable Sin or his lomance of the veiled minister might any one be cited; but the "Ms tery of the Gieat Stone Face" attracted unlveisal attention upon Its publica tion.

The Hist thing under the busi ness announcement us to lutes, etc., is a piettv poem called "Musings," vviitten by "Amelia," of Louisville, Ky, then follow ai tides entitled 'Thoughts on Maniage," 'School Teaeheis," "Novelb," (this Is a vio lent bcieed asrainst the novel, and It begins bv quoting Olivet Goldsmith's woids, "Never let our son touch a novel or n lomunce") But It ought to be lemembeied that In Goldsmith's time the fame of the uveiage novel was bad, and thut the genius of Fan ny Buiney had not been geneially lecognUed. Then other ai tides In the papei have the headings: "Pain ful Kegiets," "Facts in Human Life," "A Fast Age,' 'etc., etc. Some Dev.diops ol Wisdom, so called, close the lllbt page.
