He Regarded His Family’s Reputation.

A Little Rock lawyer of prominence l went home at an unseemly hour. “Why are you so late?” asked his wife. “I am not late; I am early.” “ \Vhy didn’t you come home last night?” “Drunk.” “Couldn’t you walk?” “Not without staggering.” “Why didn’t you stagger home, then ?” Wpll, I’ll tell you. My house has the name of being an orderly place, and I don’t want people to be seen staggering into the yard. Every man must p otect his family, you know.—Arkansas Traveler. Be not angry that you cannot make other* as you wish tln ta to he, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
