A young man who was paying- special nttcntion to a young lady, met with the fol lowing incident during one. of his visits: Being invited into the parlor to await the Iadj''s appearance, he entertained himself the best he might for some time, and was becoming very weary, when a little girl about five yearsold, slipped, in and began a conversation wilh him. lI can always tell," said shf, "when you arc coming to ourhouse." "You can !" lie replied . "and how do you tell it!" "Why, when you are going to b'ehere sis ter begins to sing and get good, and she gives me cake and pie, and anything I want ; and she sings sweetly when I speak to her she smiles so pleasantly. I wish you would stay here all the while ; then I would have a good time. But when you go off sister isn't good. She gots mad, and if I ask her for anything she slips and bangs me about, and is as mean as a copperhead." This was a poser to the young man. " , Fools and children tell the truth," he thought and taking his hat he left and returned no more." Jloral Parents wishing their ill-natured daughters married, -should keep their small children out of the parlor when strangers are there. , ' ! OCT Wheeling, Ya., is one of the oddest of all places.
