THE HUNGRY BOARDER. “ Oh, husband, what one boarder esis We’d scarcely miss, not even meats, D 3 let me take one—you will tee The profits make you rich and ma* The husband was too wise a man To argue ’gainst a woman’s plan; Beside, he knew she’d have her way As usual; so he said, “ You may." But, being wire, he sought a friend Famed for an appetite. “ Come spend A week with me,’’he said, “ and show My wife what boarders are, you know." The tab'e was a sight to see; The wife, so happy, poured the tea; The bogus boarder loosed hl* vest, Pr. pared to do his level best. He quickly got to woik, and spread A pound of butter on bis bread; Put all the sugar in his cup, Ai.d heaped his plate, like mountain*, up. The wife in horror looked aghast To see her prefits go so fast. And almost fainted on the floor Eich t'me the boarder called for more. “Oh, Mr. Jones,” she squirmed, “will you Excu-e me, but—are you not—through? ” ‘•'through wh<ir'’he grinned; “this lunch? Notl, I’ve just commenced—please pass that pie.” “Ob, husband I” groaned the wife that night, “Do make him go; we're ruined quite.” “ I told you so,” he laughed, “but, dear, We can’t; you took him for a year.”

CROOKED WAYS.

Like a good many young men and women, too, for that matter —I was once badly afflicted with cacoethes tcribendi. Of course greater evils might have befallen me; I might have been seized with a passion for whisky or gambling; but, still, my cacoethes scribendi was serious enough. During my college days the symptoms showed themselves plainly ; but the malady did not assume its true and awful proportions until I had taken by degree. Then, forsooth, it fastened upon me like a leech, and, before many months elapsed, it overmastered me completely. In accordance with my mother’s wish, I went to Dundas, ostensibly to read law withmyuncle, but it was a mere pretense of law-ready ing, for the mornings that I ought to have spent over Blackstone were devoted to composition of a novel and the afternoon to the polishing of some poems. Uncle Dick shook his head gravely and remonstrated, sometimes in sadness and sometimes in anger. “ That scribbling will never amount to anything,” he would say, contemptuously. This was hard to bear; but my lofty aspirations sustained me, and, firm in my belief of ultimate success, I scribbled on and ever, and bombarded all the magazines in the country with my manuscript. The magazines did not open their columns to me, and I fell back at last upon the weekly newspapers, and especially upon the Boston Weekly Palladium. That journal printed my essays, and a certain assistant editor, whose initials were “F. B. 8.,” sent me polite notes from time to time. It was something to see my productions in print; it would have been more had these productions once m a while brought in a check. But they never did ; they elicited only polite notes from F. B. S. Finally I wrote a letter to the assistant editor upon the- subject, and by return post I received a reply. It was sent to my private box at the postoffice, but, to my great amusement, was directed to “jane Bell” instead of “John.” My handwriting was not very distinct, and perhaps a trifle feminine, and the signature, upon which I rather prided myself, certainly left it an open question whether John or Jane were meant. The note, too, began : “ Miss Bell : In reply to your question, I would say that this journal pays its regular corps of writers. We are glad to receive your articles, and perhaps later may make adequate compensation therefor ; but, as a young writer, it would be wiser for you to think at present only of securing a foothold. You have an excellent chance of success in the end ; but much patience is necessary at the outset. “ Please say whether I shall direc future communications to John Bell, Miss Bell or Mrs. Bell. At present Ido not venture to give you any title. “ Very truly yours, “F. B. SCREVEN.” This letter at once amused and piqued me. It was pleasant and rather encouraging, but it was plain the writer set me down as an impecunious young woman, whereas the truth was I had a very fair income of my own, and was a six-foot, mustached specimen of masculinity. The idea of playing the role of Miss Jane Bell tickled my fancy, and, therefore, giving my imagination free rein, upon the spur of the moment I sat down and wrote as follows : “F. B. Screven ; At present I also am in a quandary, for I do not know whether I ought to address you as madame, monsieur, or mademoiselle. The last title is mine just now, although of course I feel at liberty to change it when I choose, or rather when the proper opportunity offers itself. Perhaps matrimony would be a more profitable speculation than literature. Do not, however, suppose I am dependent npon my pen for my bread and butter. In this case, I fear, the butter w ould be very thin indeed. No; the fates have given me most of the luxuries of life ; but these, of course, do not satisfy me. The reason why I wrote as I did about payment for my articles was simply because I thought if they were good enough to print they were good enough to be paid for. It seems I was mistaken ; but, to show you that I take your ad vice, I send you another essay. I will at least try to secure a foothold, and pray that greater success may follow. “I am, dear Madame, Monsieur, or Mademoiselle Screven, sincerely yours, “Jane Bell.”’ Laughing in my sleeve, I sent this communication on, and planned that, if the assistant editor sent me a friendly reply, I would open a correspondence in my role of Miss Jane Bell and fool F. B. Screven as never a man had been fooled before. Judge, then, of my dismay, when I received a letter, in what I knew was Screven’s writing, but not written on office paper, and signed Frances Bertram Screven. “ A woman, by Jove 1” I exclaimed, there and then in the postoffice, whereat a small boy, who was standing nigh, nearly swallowed in astonishment the postage-stamp he was licking. I thrust the letter in my pocket and did not read it until I was safely at home. Thus the missive ran : “ Dear Miss Bell : Your piquant letter prompts me to write you a reply, not as an assistant editor, but as a wornman like yourself, who is toiling up the steep path that leads to Parnassus. I might have known you were a woman, and a young one at that, because, although there is a touch of masculine strength in your essays and poems, still there is, too, a sweetness that is only feminine. I think that women more oiten have this flavor of masculinity than men have anything of that tenderness which is essentially and purely Were I in a position of authority, I should very soon dismiss the cut-and-dried hack-writers whose contributions, although smooth and polished, lack the freshness, the spontaneity, which is characteristic of the contributions we sometimes receive from unknown writers, and notably from you. But you see lam merely an assistant editor, and a person of no consequence at all, except as I am useful to do the work, all the glory of which goes to the distinguished individuals whose names are emblazoned at the head of the paper. There! that sounds bitter, I am afraid; but, my dear Miss Bell, the fates have not been so kind to me as to you, and it is not for fame I wnte, but for the wherewithal to keep me fed and clothed. What makes it perhaps harder is that I have known what it is to have my bread and butter fresh and sweet aye, and honey with it, too—and, there-

fore, the thin slices that are doled out to me now taste the drier, by. c<aa,parison. “ Forgive me for boring yon with so much about myself. Pray, write to me again. Your luxurious stationery, with faint, delicate perfume pervading it, is in itself a delight. Sincerely yours, “Miss Frances Bertram Screven.” As I read this letter I felt myself a scoundrel. My first impulse was to write a letter of confession to Miss Screven; but the desire to keep up the correspondence and try my hand at composing letters that should be sweetly feminine overcame my scruples, and I sent off the following reply; “Dear Miss Screven: Instead of boring me, the glimpse you gave me of your life interested me more than I can tell. But, at the same time, the contrast between your life and mine made me envious. Perhaps your lot is a hard one, but it is at least brave and independent. Here am I, an only daughter, petted and spoiled to a shameful degree, and bound by fetters of luxury. Yes, I envy you. Sitting this morning in my silly, pink-curtained boudoir, with a Dresden shepherdess simpering at me from the top of my escritoire, I feel my idle, luxurious life hemming me and overpowering me, as the perfume of tuberoses makes heavy and sickening the atmosphere of a room that should be flung open to the fresh air and sunshine. I would change places with you to-day if I could.” When I reached this point of my letter, I read over approvingly what I had written. Arrived at the lines descriptive of my imaginary boudoir, I smiled as my glance fell upon a boot-jack one corner and the shaving apparatus-j in another. Glancing at the place/ where the Dresden shepherdess ought to have been, my eye fell instead upon a pipe, which I took down and filled, and then resumed my writing with considerable complacency: ‘ ‘ This may sound to you rather schoolgirlish, and I may as well confess that it is not many years—perhaps months would- be more accurate—-sinee I left the precincts of a finishing-school. Fin-ishing-school, indeed ! Much I learned there beside the art of doing u» my hair! However, the defects of my ed-’ ucation I must remedy myself, and I try every day to devote a few hours to serious study. But it is very hard to se ' elude myself long enough to accomplish anything. People call; I must go to garden-parties; I must drive out with my mother; I must hold solemn conclave with the milliner and dress-maker; in short, I have constant demands of a most frivolous nature upon my time. “All this you will probably laugh at, and, lest I write yet more foolishly, I will bring my letter to a close. If you are not quite disgusted with me, do write again soon. Faithfully yours, “Jan® Bell.” I may as well confess that I thought this letter a successful imitation of some of the epistles that I had myself received from feminine hands. It sounded enthusiastic and very “missish,” and I sent it off that afternoon with a bold heart. “Jack,” quoth my uncle, who met me as I came from the postoffice, “I verily believe you are making an ass of yourself over some girl. I don’t believe it is the muses you are courting; it is no muse ; it is a miss. ” And with this he passed on, chuckling at his own wit. As the days went on, however, my uncle’s words seemed in a fair way to prove true. I thought only of Miss Screven. My novel I left untouched, and my rhyming dictionary accumulated dust slowly, but surely. Fled were my visions of astonishing the world with my genius. I lived only for the inail from Boston. ; \ As I reread the letters .L received from Miss Screven, I can make some excuse for my infatuation. They were frank and outspoken, and sometimes, indeed, tinged with cynicism; but through there breathed a sympathy, a tenderness, that touches me even now as I read them over. Finally, at my solicitation, she sent me her photograph, which showed her to be, a regular-feat-ured, large-eyed woman of rather a serious cast of countenance indeed, but with a lurking smile in her mouth, that I could not but confess was a large one. She was not a beauty, I saw that, but she had an earnest, interesting face that grew upofa me every day. Little by little I gave myself up to thoughts of her by day and dreams of her by night. Her letters I awaited with a feverish impatience, and if one were delayed I was in torment. I make no excuses for my folly, dear sir or madam ; but pray do not forget (that I was only one-and-twenty then, and hn4 fed myself plentifully with novels and poetry. And this was my first love ! Coventry Patmore says in one of his poems: Well, heaven be thanked, my first love Ab, heaven be thanked, all first loves do ! This was a sentiment I could not echo, for at that time it seemed to me that if I were separated from my fair unseen sweetheart my life would be stale, flat and unprofitable. The correspondence was kept up fell the summer and autumn; but in December there befell what was to me an awful calamity. Miss Screven did not write. I sent imploring letter after-letter, but no response gladdened me. “Has she jilted you?’ r said Uncle Dick, heartlessly, when he noted my pale face. In truth, I could not sleep nor eat; I was consumed with fear and anxiety. What could, liave befallen her? I endured it just ten days, and then I packed my sachel and went to Boston. Bah! what a day it was when I got there. It had snowed a little, and then a thin, cold rain began to drizzle down despairingly. The weather suited me better then the garish splendor of the hotel, and I wandered forth that evening, half-unconsciously wending my way toward the street in which Miss Screven boarded. I found myself opposite the house. From an upper window a light struggled feebly between the closed shutters and thrilled me through and through. Perhaps she was thete, fl! and alone, uncared for, save by the mercenary landlady, or, worse still; by a slatternly servant I went up the"Prfepfi and rang the belt A slip of a girl opened the door to me, and I handed her my card, saying mechanically, “Ask Miss Screven if she will see me. ”

I trusted that the name John Bell would, perhaps, lead her to suppose that I was a cousin or the father of her friend. The slip of a servant-maid looked at the card, and then looked at'file. “Frances Screven? ” she said, interrogatively. “Yes,” I replied. Then I took the card, ran my pencil through the engraved name, and scrawled my illegible signature below - it -The -servant took the card again and skurried away, leaving me standing alone in the cold, dark entry. It was several xiiinutes before she reappeared, and then it was only to say in a singing tone, ' ‘ Three flights up; first door to the right.” I went up the three flights, and rapped at the first door to the right. * A voice called out, “ Oome in.” I entered a medium-sized, plainlyfurnished room that was obacco. with which was mingled a faint smell of whisky. There were twNMMNkchairs, a large table covered with a faded cloth, and an old-fashioned Ifeflfeehair lounge, from which, as lentered, a young man rose. He was thin and hol-low-eyed, and a beard of several days’ growth made him look, to say the least, unkempt. “Mr. Bell, I presume,” he said, offering me his hand, and then drawing up a chair for me. “I have called to see Miss Screven,” Baid I,

“ Have you, indeed ?” he replied, in a m. at onee.. It was her husband! She has deceived me! . - “ May I ask if you are any relation”!® Miss Jane Bell, of Dundas, Washington county, N. Y., Poetoffice box 462?” he continued, in the same sneering way. I stuttered and stammered, tried to lie, and nearly choked myself to death. I wanted to be diplomatic; I wanted to shield her from his anger. “Who the devil are you, anyway?” he exclaimed. “I—l am John Bell,” I answered; “and I have called to see your sister. Is she ill?” “ I haven’t any sister,” said he nonchalantly; “that is, I am my own sister, and she has just escaped pneumonia. ” The truth flashed upon me. “You are an impostor, sir,” I exclaimed. “ Your sister doesn’t think so,” said he complacently, j. “I haven’t any sister,” said I, in my turn. He wheeled sharply about: * Who is Miss Bell, then?” “I am all the Miss Bell that exists,” I answered grimly. “ What! ” he exclaimed, “ you are the petted darling who wanted to be a poet and an essayist and Lord only knows what all? You are the only child of wealthy parents? You are the lovely creature who sits in a pink boudoir and writes verses with a gold pen and on perfumed paper?” “Yes,” said I desperately. Screven dropped into a chair and roared. “ A sell all round ! ” said he. And then- he laughed until he cried, jyhile I quietly stole away back to the luted, sadder but a wiser man.

The Golden Ladder of Charity.

There are eight degrees of steps, says Maimonides, in the duty of charity. The first and lowest degree is to give, but with reluctance dr regret. This is the gift of the hand but not of the heart. is. to give cheerfully, but tt poipiktißjafely to the distress of the fferw. The third is to give cheerfully and proportionately, but not until we are solicited. The fourth is to give proportionately, ; cheerfully, and even unsolicited; but to put it in the poor man’s hand, thereby exciting in him the painful emotion of shame.- - The fifth is to give charity in such a way that the distressed may receive the bounty and know their benefactor without their being known to him. Such '■ iriis th'6 'donduct ot some of bur ancestors who used to convey their charitable gifts 'lnto poor people’s’dwellings, taking care that their own persons and names sb quid remain unknown. The seventh is still more meritorious, namely, to bestaßghngtejn such a way tbatthe beneiactor -inaynoi know 'the rel?Wted nor they the name of their benefadMEk as was dbhe by our charitable foxmfcthers during theexistencerlf the female. For there was in that holy bfiflF(hng a place called the Chamber ofyeilence or. Inostentation, whCTfein thb gbod deposited secretly whatever their, generous hearts suggested, and from which the most respectable poor families were maintained equal secrecy. "• Lastly, the eighth and the most meritorious of all is to anticipate charity, Ky preventing poverty; theAieduced brother a considerabre gift, or a loa n hf wyattfe nr by teaching him a trade, Or by pulfeng him in the way of business, so that he may eatn an honest livelihood, and not be forehfl to the dreadful alternative of holding np liis hand for charity.— the I alm ud. ■ ■

Guiteau’s Suppressed Speech.

Guiteau, the assassin, furnished the Abbociated Press with a brief of his proposed address to the jury. It is like his usual drivel about the Deity having inspired the dastardly act. It is a combination of bombast, egotism and Mbspnemy. He starts . out by saying: “If the court please, gentlemen of the jury, I am a patriot To-day I suffer in bonds as a patriot. Washington was a patriot; Grant was a patriot Washington led the armies of the Revolution through eight years of bloody war to victory and glory; Grant led the armies of the Union to victory and glory; and to-day the nation is prosperous and happy. To-day—Christmas, 1881—I suffer in bonds s a patriot because I had the-inspiration and nerve to unite a great political party, to the end that the nation might be saved from anothet devastating war. To-day I suffer in bonds as a patriot. There is not the first element of murder in this case.” After harping at considerable tength upon the old plea of inspiration, quoting Beecher, Talmage and other and declaring that wen he became President in 1884 he would clean out the Mormons -right speedily, fee closes thus to the jury: “To hang a man in my mental condition on July 2, when I fired on the President, would be a lasting disgrace to the American people. The mothers and daughters of the republic are praying that you wdl Vindicate my inspiration. I beg you do not get»the Deity down on you by meddling with this case. I beg, for your own sake; and for the sake of the American people, ana for the sake of generations yet unborrifthat you let this case alone. You cannot afford to toficft' ItA Let your verdict be that it was DeityM act, not mine. When the President was shot his Cabinet telegraphed to foreign nations that it was the ict of a ‘madman?’and it will be far better in every way that it be* officially decided that it was the act of a 'rnadtnaiL'”

Five People Burned to Death.

A dispatch from ’Gffirton, Mo., says the house Of George C. Smith, at Lewis, five miles north of there, burned at 3 o’clock in the morning, and five of the inmates perished, viz.: Elizabeth Smith, aged 17 ; Rachel, aged 13 ; Ellen, aged 6'5 Theodore, aged 16, and the mother, aged 43. The fire is supposed to have started from clothing hanging by the kitchen stove, or from a coal-oil explosion. Mrs. Smith was first to awaken, when she aroused her husband, who made his escape with the little girl of a neighbor who ,was staying there for the night, and one of his own daughters, aged about 8. Smith and his daughter were seriously burned. The house was a story and a half, and the family were all sleepng in the second story. A Mr. White, who was the suitor of Elizabeth Smith, was at the house until after 1 o’clock, and thinks the fire caught in the kitchen from clothing by the stove. Mier Smith was to have been married in a few weeks. An inquest was held, and a verdict rendered is accordance with the facte. Mr. Smith was emr ployed by the Osage Coal and Mining Company

Waking a Sleeper.

A certain good brother, Obadiah Turner, of Lyxw, Mass., once kept a journal, in which, under date “ 1646, June ye 3d,” he thus describee the “ method” adopted by a zealous specif officer in the chtrfch 'ministered uafch byi Rev. Samuel Whttlug: “ Allen Brydges' hath been chosen to wake ye sleepers ill meeting, and, being much proud of his place, must need have a fox taile fixed to ye eno of along staff, wherewith he may brush the faces of them yt will have naps in time of discourse; likewise u. bliftrp tborne wherewith he may

prickle such as may be most sounde. Qo4he last Lord bis-day, as he sknfetad ab<rat ye meeting-house, he did spy Mr. Thomas sleeping with much com fort, his head being steadied by being ia ye corner, and his hand grasping ye rail. And so spying, Allen did quickly his staff behind David Ballond and gave him a gdevons prick upon ye hand, whereupon Mr. Thomas did spring up much above ye floor, and with terrible foree strike his head against ye wall, and also to ye great wonder of all, prophanilie crying out in a loud voice, he dreaming, as it seemed, yt a woodchuck had bit his hand. But on coming to know where he was, and ve grate scandall he had committed, lie seemed much abashed, but did not speak. And I think he will not soon again go to s’eep in meeting. Ye women may sometime sleepe and none know it, by reason of their enormous bounets. Mr. Whiting doth pleasantlie say ytfrom ye pulpit he doth seem to be preaching to stacks of straw, with men jotting here and there among them.”

Lynch Law in Washington Territory.

A telegram from Seattle, in Washington Territory, says: James Sullivan and William Howard were arrested here to-day on a charge of the murder of George B. Reynolds, a young man whom they waylaid and shot last night The prisoners were brought before a magistrate for preliminary examination. Evidence of their guilt is most conclusive. The feeling was intense, and at the close of the examination a Committee of Safety forced its way into the court-room, and, overpowering the officers, took the prisoners. Sullivan and Howard were taken a short distance and hanged. Their bodies were left suspended, and a crowd numbering 400 then proceeded to the county jail, and, overpowering the guards and breaking down the doors of a cell, took out Benjamin Bayne, who was confined for the murder of Police-Officer Sears. He was taken to the place where the bodies of Sullivan and Howard were suspended, and hanged. The bodieafwere left hanging some time, and then givu over to the Coroner. The CommitSafety continues its organization, and have issued a notice that persons guilty of highway robbery in the city will, if arrested, receive the penalty of death in a summary manner. ' -

An Entire Family Slaughtered.

A blood-curdling tragedy was enacted near Lancaster, Gerrard county, Ky. James A. Wilmot, a farmer in good circumstances, was rendered temporarily insane by brooding over a debt of S4OO which he owed to a neighbor. His insanity assumed the homicidal type, and culminated in the wholesale slaughter of the members of his family. Getting out of bed during the night, the maniac sought an ax, and with this* weapon slew his agefl mother, his wife and two daughters, and wound up by hanging himself in his barn. A Bog r aged 20 years, escaped by outrunning |he maniac father. He alarmed the neighbors, who repaired to the Wilmot mansion and found the body of James A. Wilmot hanging in his barn, the dead bodies of Elizabeth Wilmot, bis mother, aged 89 years; Mattie and Mary Wilmot, his daughters, aged 19 and 15 years, lying in their beds, with one awful cut across the neck and blows from a new, sharp ax, found lying on the floor of the room; also the body of Elizabeth Wilmot, his wife, lying on her face on the floor, with three or four gashes in her head and back, made with the same death-dealing ax. The deadly blows had evidently been dealt while the victims were sleeping. _

The Head Waiter.

Oh, no, my son, that dignified gentleman who looks down upon you with such majestic complacency, who possesses the grace of Apollo Belvidere, the proud front of Jove and the equanimity of the mummified remains of Barneses the First —that sublime personage, my son, is not an Emperor, King, Prince or President of some powerful nation, neither is he the owner of countless millions, nor the landlord of this caravansary. He is far above all thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers. He is mightiest in the mightiest. Look at him, my son, and tremble. Behold the head waiter, and shrink into nothingness before his transcendent grandeur and—cheek.— Boston Transcript.

Hasty Judgment.

Nothing is more unjust than to judge of a man by too short an acquaintance, and too slight inspection ; for it often happens that in the loose and thoughtless and dissipated there is a secret radical worth, which may shoot out by proper cultivation. To imagine that every one who is not completely good is irrevocably abandoned, is to suppose that all are capable of the same degree of excellence. It is, indeed, to exact from all that perfection which one can ever attain. And, since the purest virtue is consistent with some vice, and the virtue of the greatest number with almost an equal proportion of contrary qualities, let none too hastily conclude that all goodness is lost, though it may for a time be clouded and overwhelmed ; for most minds are the slaves of external circumstances and conform to any hand that undertakes to mold them, roll down any torrent of custom in which they happen to be caught, or bend to any importunity that bears hard against them. Samuel Johnson. There is no ivory waste. Even the powder is sold for making jelly. It is said that one leading cutlery firm in Sheffield made a calculation that to supply themselves with the ivory needed for their business they needed 1,280 elephants every year and that, even with this number, the tusks were each estimated to weigh 23} pounds. The difference between our forefathers and some of their descendants, is, that thb former were called on to strike foi ■4beir rights, and the latter to write for I their Strikes.

A Wiling Endorser.

Milwaukee, Wis., July 30, 1881. H. H. Warner & Co.: Sirs—l can recommend your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and you can cheerfully use my name. Mrs. Ann Kelly. A French inventor has recently patented a method of improving India rubber and gutta-percha by the addition of a distillate of birch bark. By distilling the outer layers of the bark he obtains a dense, black, gummy matter which possesses the properties of ordinary guttapercha with the additional quality of resisting both the action of air and the strongest corrosive acids. He claims also that by adding a small proportion of the birch bark gum to gutta-percha or to India rubber (one-twentieth part will suffice), the durability of the rubbi ror the gutta-percha will be greatly incr ased the new mixture not being acted upon by the air or by acids. Sediment or mucous in the urine is a sure indication of disease. Take Kidney-Wort.

A Chapter on Bald Heads.

A bald-headed man is refined, and he always shows his skull, sure. What dees a bald-headed man say to his comb ? We meet to part no more. Motto for a bald head : Bare and forebare. However high a position a bald-headed man holds, he will never comb down in the world. A bald-headed man never dyes. Advice to bald headers: Join the Indians, who are the only successful hair raisers. You never saw a bald-head man with a low forehead. Shakespeare says : There is a divinity that shapes our ends. Bald men are the coolest-headed men in the world.
