aV ; mka. TT.rrKn'n twit to town. Mr. Pepper moved his wife and fam ily orer to Plainfield last Spring. Be fore that, he had lived in town, and Mr. Pepper did so mutfh long "to go to the couttry." For a while, after they got out there, the novelty of keep log chickens And a cow so pleased her that she forgot all aboat Ivcw York. But, along in the Fall, Mrs. P. con cluded she'd like to go to the City just once. In vain Pepper pleaded the dan gers of getting on and ofl'lhc horse-cars, getting lost, or run over on Broadway, missing the train coming home, or get ting off at the wrong station, or the children being left at home in care of the girls, or the duce know what all. "No sir" said Mrs. Pepper, "I'm uo cuiid, ana besides,! want some change. You men go to the City every day, while wa poor women, week in and week out, stay at homo and look after the household. I want to g to New JTork." Bo Pepper, perplexed, reluctantly consented. For greater security, Peter, the oldest boy, who "raj given to teas ing his sister, was designated as her .escort, and the following Thursday as the eventful day. Whew I Thursday came. Mr and Mrs, 1 . fully impress ed with the importance of the occasion, rose betimes. Peter was arraved in his Sunday toggery, fully one hour before the time for departure. For greater assurance on feppers part, it had been decided that he should take them down with him on his regular train. Whewl what a kissing of the little girls and babies there was when the time came for them to go. How Mag . gie, the nurse, was strictly enjoined not to let the children climb on the Chicken coop, or to go outside the gate, or play with the matches, or do a thou sand other things that mothers have : prohibited, Maggies disregarded, 'and children done for ever so many gen erations. , At last they got started. ' 'Toor lit tle darling tbirjgs, said Mrs. Pepper, half repenting her, resolution to go. Bat then she hadn't been to New , York for so long. Mr. P. put his wife and Peter in a atage on Broadway and anxiously bid them good bye. lie did not feci quite : satisfied in his own mind that he should ever seo either of them alive again. To be sure, they had agreed to meet him at the ferry at 4 o'clock ; but then and poor Pepper went on conjuring all sorts of impossible acci dents and praying all day fur four o'clock to come. Mrs. Pepper mean- ; time was going the rounds Stewart Lord fc Taylor's Macy's, and ail the other places the visited in tnrn ; but in each and every place she saw some- thine to remind her or the children -. she and Peter stopped in and had some lunch, but every time she looked into the cup of tea she couldn't help won dering whether Maggie would remem ber to sweeten thrf baby's milk before the put it into the bottle. She, too, kept looking at the clocks, to see how long it was before four o'clock ; and when, ladened with packages, she finally did get down to the ferry again, Peter fol lowing her, also ladened with bundles, which half concealed him from the rude world's gaze, there was Mr. Pep per awaiting her with "Oh 1 mother I'm so glad that you've come." When they got home that night,, everything was found to have gone on well enough ; but, for all that, when iue cnuureu naa an said their pray ers and been tucked away in bed, and when Mrs. Pepper had got through counting up her purchases for the day, she camo and laid her head on Pepper's shoulder, and said, "I don't think, dear, I shall want to go to New York for a year to come." And Pepper would lave probably said, "All right, . ray love;" but goodness wo Uio was sound asleep. The Germans of Cincinnati are mak ing efforts to introduce into the State of Ohio tha song-birds of their native land. A few days since 1,300 birds of uiucivuy mi iciics arrived ironi Germa ny, and were set free near tho city. They immediately began building their nests. Among them are the night ingale, the skylark, and the blackbird of Germany. A few birds imported and set free tho year previous are re turning after the winter, aDd it is hop ed that those set free this year will do likewise. Meanwhile the English spar rowa imported into New York a few years since to protect the trees of Cen tral Park from the ravages of insects are making their bonevoleut way all over the country. A practical toper proposes the fol lowing compromise to the teroDerance women : O, women, in our hours of ease, you know we 11 do- whate'er you please: we'll promise to renounce the sin of Bourbon, brandy, rum and gin, and go so far as. to refrain (except when tempted) from champagne; but hav some mercy, do, my dear, and leave, oh, leave us lager beer !" A oitizen of Salem, Or., has a habit of oarrying matches in his coat tail pocket. The other day he was Iouuk- ing against ft brick building, but as his underwear was not fire proof it suddenly occurred to him to visit a hy (Irani; which he did with as little de lay as possible. A man in Providence on the occa tion of the death of an infant daogh ter, entered a milliner's store and ask ed if tbey kept "blaok tripe" to bang on door bells. Jf they did he wanted three yards.
