Not a bad story is tokl at the expense of a most distinguished citizen of Philadelphia. It seems t lint a din ner party was in progress during the re cent brilliant display of northern lights, and this pentieman, stepping out to cool his burning brow, was started by the display around the fros ty polo. He stood perfectly amazed; then turning to the window he saw within, the wife of his bosom, sitting wit b-the ladies, wniiinjr for their liego lords to dispose of their chnnipaigno and cigars. Pushing uside the cur tains, he beckoned Mrs. Agnc9 to conto out. She complied, when he said to her solemnly : " Wagnes, d'yer see anything cs tronery now J" Yes, Djlly. I see you have been drinking too much wine." "No! not that, Wagnes. I mean extroncry phoruoniomims in atmos phere." " Why, where, Dolly?" " Upper yonder, Wagnes." "Oh, deir me! yes, I do, indeed - the most brilliant aurora that 1 have, ever seen." " Wagnes, are things shootin'?" " Yes, dear." "Aud a flashin', Hagues?" "Yes, Dolly." " An a sorter spreaditi' an' daucin, ch! Hugnes" " All that, my dear." "Ho! ho!" laughed the husband, much relieved. "Do you know, Ung ues I meaa Hagnrs when I enmo out aud saw the celestial phornoiuo nutns a glowin' upper yonder, Mowed ell'cr didn't think I was drunk!" The Fair Sex. . A Chicago advertisement for throo lady copyists brought in two days an influx of 249 beautifully written let ters. An old lady in Brookfield, over eighty years of age, took her lirst rido on the cars lust week. " Gracious ! what makes things git up aud go so?" was till she could say, as the iron liorso tore over the course. An elderly maiden lady, hearing for the first time that matches are made in Heaven, declared she uidn'l care a straw how soon Bhe left this tiul'ul world for a better land. Jones thought a little moro affection at home might secure more palatable dinners, and in the evening he ad dressed Mrs. Jones, in an endearing tone, as "sweetest." She took it quiet ly, moely asking who tho others were. 'So you are going to keep a school?' said a young lady to her maiden aunt. "Well, for my purt, sooner than that I would marry a widower with nine children." "I would prefer that my self," was the quiet reply, "but where's the widower?" Some of the ultra fushionablo ladies have introduced a new custom, or l ath er readopted a very old one. When nu acquaintance calls and is so unfor tunate as to find the ladies out, in stead of being asked to leave his card, he is requested to inscribe his namo iu a liaudioiuo visiting book. A couple of Cincinnati girls who hail been to see the " Black Crook," appeared in the streets of that city tho oilier day with so littlo clothing that a blushing constable took them into cus tody. The Judge said to the olliccr: " Let them go for the present, lio to all the public places of amusement in this city, where the women are 111010 exposed than these two girls, and ar rest them." A Welsh clergyman applied to hi diocesan for a living. The bishop promised him one, hut as tho clergy man was taking his leave ho expressed a hope that his lordship would uot send him to tho interior of the princi pality, as his wife could not speak Welsh. "Your wife, eir !" said tho bishop, "what has your wife to do with it? She does not preach, does she?" " No, my lord," said tho parsou, " but she lectures." A young woman from Tidioute, Pa., went to Chictigo a few days ago, in i-curcli ofa young mail who had in lied with her uH'cctiuiis and her purse. Tho aid ofa detective was sccuted, and ho soon brought the wronger uud tho wrotigud liice to face. The young nutn was contrite, restoring on the spot 75(1 of the money he had taken from tho woman, and agreeing to marry her. A Catholic clergyman wus ctilltil upon, who set all straight by luurning iho pair. At Meriden, Conn., a lady of iibout sixty summers' had just married nnd wus traveling with her spouse. She was bo iK lighted that she wauled the people to rejoice with her. So meeting a friend there she said to her iu a loud tuue, evidently intended to be heard by all in the depot : " I am married, ami am taking my weddiu' Con re, and these are my wvddin' clothes, ami that is my husband a cumin'." And yet tlicro are many people who could not make a like boust under the same cir cumstances. It is very like w hat IVru llyacinthc i diMUt;, -' ' 1 r. ,. t. t I, ! 9 nmiMniM 7
