And the Fellow Climbed Down.

A young man dwelling on th® borderland of aristocracy, where, as Gcorga Eliot says, annexation becomes a burning question, was entertaining a group on a hotel piazza. With great freedom he swung into the conversation by their familiar abbreviations the names that decorate the society columns. At ! length a wwua, gazing pensively out at sea from the depths of a Shaker rocker, turned to the young man and, bending over the arm, said: “My dear sir, you-have buried a man who was alive on Friday. Such haste is not seemly. You have divorced a woman now happily wedded. This is premature. But when you marry my husband to another woman, I must reproach j T ou. My dear sir, you should respect the law, if not the gospel.”
