THE BEAUTIFUL BL0NIJ2S BfcHIM) THE CURTAIN.

Some fair contributor to a Xew York sporting Journal, who apparently enjoys the entree to the theatre back door, and the sacred precincts ol the dressing-rooms, gives quKp an interesting accourt of the scenes that ensue behind the curtain after the performance. The curtain having fallen, sbf says, upon the usual vlvuclous plcture, and to the usual tumulttioas applause, Flora Fansee and the rest of the dashing burlfRfjuers make all possible speed to reach their dressing-rooms. Flora, whose boot* preclude the possibility of the rapid movement, when unobserved by the audience, reaches liKIl DKEHSlNO ROOM The list of tiHMie who occupy it. IIur ri' diy removing lier wulste, belt and

There are one or two girls who do not foilow Flora's exampl* by taking off their tights. That plump littlo girl, whose dressing place is next door, keep* her tlghta on.and puts her stock liusand shoes oil over them, because she in In a great hurry to get home tonight—as anybody could have known who bad noticed how rapidly sbo took off her wuhte jftid put on her skirt, aud how aho »d, ah soon an ber wig was off and her own hair arranged, immediately put her bonnet on—an action which there is no girl in the room who is not

Nevertheless, she invariably wearu her tlghia home, having no doubt, reasons of her own for so doing. The other girls say that If you could follow her borne, and into bor room, you would see a pair or two of ankle-tlghta made of cotton or merino, and with a strap on tbe bottom that Koos under tho foot, resting in tho hollow thereol, to hold tho tights In posl tlon Those girls further »ay that, If you wurw to examlno these ankle-tights you would tind that they wero lined with lamb's wool, and more thickly in som« places than In others. And finally, those same girls asaert that the ankle tights, with lamb's wool stitched to tho

are called pads, and that the

staielv (itrl wears them, but won admit itj therefore eho won't take off her tights bofore her companions. They alto aay that they are strengthened In th-ir belief by the fact that the stately girl will never wear slippers on tho su»iio although her foot and ankle are -rfectlon. They declare that

Flora having divested herself, as stated, or *her tights, carefully rolls them up and puts them in bor trunk Mho might, perhaps, like to hang them mi, bu mayhap there are strange su|i«*rtiufnof*ri**a in thft th©*tr^»and tights cost from fourteen to twenty dollars a dr.

Littlo remains for Flora to do but put on her dress and cloak and hat. This she quickly accomplishes, bids the other lauiea good-night, and runs out, giving a giancv at tho call-board to make sure there is no rehearsals in the morning. Before the stately lady (who will not go out in the street until her kidglovos are buttoned, and her bat sets just so) has turned on the gas in tho dressing-room, Flora is at home, partaking of a llgnt supper, and rehearsing the gossip of the theatre to tor mother, (whom, good girl, she supports), to which that estimable old lady listens with infinite relish and enjoyment.

WHAT MKX NEED WIVES FOR.

What does a man want a wifo for? It Is not merely to sweep the house, and make the beds, and darn tho socks, and cook the meals, ebielly that a man wants a wife. If this is all,when a young man calls to see a lady, send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cakes she has made send him to inspect the needlo-work and bed-making or put a broom into her hands, and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and tho wise young mitn will quietly look after them. But what the true man n*xi wants of companionship, sympathy and love. The way of life has marly nreary places Sn it, sn'd man needs a companion to go with him. A man Is sometimes overtaken with misfortune be meets with failure and defeat trials and tempU-

Why, she has never had a moment's uneasiness with any of her children, and she hasten of 'them, aud why not Because affection begets affection, aadsheis positive they would not do a single thing to make their mother miserable. It's true that Ned is "a little ricketybut boys will be Iwys, and tho lad is too good at heart ever to do wron^. But if the worst should happen—not that she foars it—the boy will never forget his happy infancy, and that's a blessing 1 Tho thoughts or a happy childhood have brought baek many a prodigal son. and she knows well enough that Ned would never wander far without feeling that-chain round his heart gently pulling him toward home.

Thus the model mother defends her children. Their defects are beauties in her eyes their very tults are dear to her. Th«y can do no wrong. If any breakage takes place it wasn't the child's fault she tells you she's only to blame. She stays tho father's arm when his anger is a! to fall, and stops his voice when bia paternal passion is rising. Ifany of the boys have gone lo the heatre she sits up to let them in.

How littlo appreciation parents haye of their ability to make homo the dearest spot on earth to their children. If fathers would spend one-tenth of the time devoted to money-making and newspaper-reading, in attending to the intellectual culture and moral training of their children, fewer sons would be defaulters and fewer daughters recreant.

How said John, absently. He was watchiug the coals flicker up and die out again, and picking up a stray chip now and then to fling on tbe embers— fashion he had when ho was thinking.

Now I had had the headache all day, and 1 guess I was rather more tiudery than usual, though I didn't think so then but when John bent his great broad shoulders over, just as it' he hadn't heard a word I said and, in fact, had something better to occupy bis mind, I just tired up, first, and then the blaze died down into sulks, and when we parted that night John and I had bad our first and last quarrel.

My heart did not mis-give me tbat, when 1 saw John's great tall figure go ing out of tho door, it was the last time he'd lift the latch for many a year but so it was.

You see, I held my bead pretty high in those days, and I wouldn't show that I was a bit cut up ibout it so I paired off with Mrs. Plumbers' Jesse, a likely, spruceyoung fellow euougb, but no more to bo compared to John than a cockle-sbell to a Origantine.

Oh, well, mother sighed, and tried right bard to bring us together again but it was not to be.

John was a powerful, muscular man, and I used to see him go up tbe road many a titno when I was out in the sbed milking and peeping out at hiui through the chinks, I thought his broad shoulders stooped more than ever, and his figure was growing moro stalky-like.

Then Jesse fell 111 o'the fever, and with all the fuming and fretting and nursing of bis mother, and with all my watching day and night, somehow he slipped off between us.

A tiger, prowling in a forest, was attracted by a bleating calf. It proved to bo a bait, aud the tiser found himself trapped in a spring cage. There he lay for two davs, when a Brahmin happened to pass that way.

TOO POUTS.

It appesrs there is juch a thing 'as beingtoopolUttoa ladjr.and ovtr-polite-ness is apt to h« mistaken foriniention-l al rudeness. ni« young gentlemanf and a modest young girl went lo church? together iu Ktokuk. He bad it bad, and she contrived to fan tbe flame that kept the disease at fever heat. Nellie? dropped ber parasol. Joseph found itc atnoug tbe lavender-breathing billows on the door, and picked it up, glowing with tbe exertion. Next a fan fluttered into the intoxicating depths, and Joseph captured and restored it to the fair and faltering band. Next tbo hymn book went tumbling into tho swallowing abyss of silk and muslin, and Joseph went for it, and was nil the timo getting red aud redder. Iu his delightlul excitement, he thought he saw the embroidered edge of Nellie's pocket handkerchief peeping from under her dress. He manfully dived for it. and gave it a sudden jerk, when It ripped iu his bands. A dainty hand proiesied against the proceeding, aud those beautiful eyes flashed lightning. All those waves'weiclashed by a storm, and parasol, (an and byuin book were tossed upon them iu the wildest confusion. When the congregation was dismissed so was Josoph—ail about that handkerchief, which might have beeu,

"Them ?—thorn's ing-ins, them is. Why did'nl you say lug-ins?" Some of the smart boys in the high schools have chuckled variously over this incident in utter iguoraace of tho Iact that tho ancient orthography of the word was elniou, proving the huckster quito as correct as his customer in its pronunciation.
