Gave Herself Away.

A party of Hartford young ladies, visiting last summer at a back country town, found great difficulty In getting their mail. The train would arrive and the letter bag reach the office, but then there was a long delay. They laid it to the postmistress reading the postal cards, which they insisted she did at each mail. By and by one of the girls came back to Hartford, and then she wrote her friends a postal, saying at the end: “I hope Miss |the postmistress] will not take all the afternoon to read this postal card. ” The friends were promptly at the postoffice and the mail came slowly, as usual; but when at last the postmistress laid down this postal she said, with a snap in her eye: “I hope, when you write, you’ll tell Miss she’s an impudent hussy.” It sounds like a “give-away.”—New York Continent.
