THE MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

JUVENILE JEWELS.

"Johnny, what are you doing, my aon T" "Oh nothing, only trying to hit Frank on the lingers with the hatchet."

Mysterious. Little Johnny—"I heard somebody crying in there and it wasn't manor tno doctor." Sissy—"May be it was the kitten."

„„wv up VI earlr one morning and seeing the full moon from the window, innocently ro-

A little four-year-old woke uj» very

marked: "I should think it was about time for Pod to take that moon in." Little girl to her mother, who is turning over tho leaves of a book: "Tant y'ou lind it, mamma?" "No, my child," "Whv don't you look at th^findin' place in the first end of the book?" Mamma takes a little girl's advice.

Aunt Emilv (who thinks that two company and three's none)—"I thought inammi told you, before she wont out, to go down stairs for the present, Mabel." Mabel (who thinks three better than one)—"VVell, and so I did, but I didn't find the present so here I am again."

Do vou want to kill the cliilaJ exclaimed a gentleman as he saw a Detroit boy tip the baby out of its carriage on tho walk. "No, not quite," replied tfie boy "but if I can get hiin to bawling mother will take care of liiin while I go and wade in tho ditch with Johnny Bracer!"

One of tho importunate juveniles who solicit jjenuien was asked: Where is our mother? She answered diffidentv, "Sho is dead." I lave you no father

Yes, sir but he Is sick." What ails him? continued the questioner. "He has got a sore finger, sir." Indeed. "Yes, sir." Then why don't ho tint it off? "Pleasosir," responded the little maid, "he hain't got any money to buy a

Tho other evening, when a Sixth street father boxed his son's oars as a punishment for impudence, the lad stood be

fore

him and remarked: "See here, father, I was reading this morning that the drum of the ear is one of the mast Kensitive things in tho human sj-stem. A sudden blow upon the ear is liable to produco doafness, and the practice of cuffing children cannot bo too severely censured. It is but a relic of that dark period when a man with a wart on his nose was put to death as a sorcerer."

Seven or eight boys were rushing around the postofflce the other day, headed by a yellow-haired youth, who was saving:

All* I want in this world is to lay my hands on him!" lie presently came upon a boy weighing about ten pounds more than himself, and rushing at him he exclaimed

Did vou lick mv brother Ben?" Yes I did," replied the boy, dropping iiis bundle and spitting on his hands.

Well," continued tho other lad, backing slowly away, "he needs a licking once a week to teaeli hiin to be civil."

S O I O E

Peculiar Expcricncc leith a Medium.

A contributor to the New York Tribune says tho emphasis given by Theodore Tilton to lib doctrine of soul-love will cause several of the habitues of one of the literary clubs to remember the case of Richard Gouverneir, a wealthy young New Yorker, who was graduated at Harvard three years ago. lie returned to New York with almost a mania for astronomy, and out of his immense wealth ho proposed constructing a great telescope. But he was a cynic and belieting in his bitternoss of spirit and morbid sensitiveness of tastes that it is always possible for a man to be cheated in tho purity of any woman whom he may marry,*ho chose for himself a life of eolibnev and of devotion to science. Still ho had at heart an ideal woman whom no fate could ever cause to fall, and he worshipped her afar off, in poetical abstraction. He loved a soul which had never been clot lied with beautiful, approachable flesh.

One dav, Gouvernicr, for relaxation, dropped "into the sanctum of "Dr." Ijomoard, tho spiritualist medium, on Broiidwav, and saw tho manifestations »f table-tipping, accordeon playing, bell ringing, chair whirling, hand-shaking, ana automatic writing. Ho was a little puzzled, because ho could explain, without being ablo absolutely to detect, the cheats. Indeed ho had a notion that he, a scientist, had no business to declare the Imposture before he had actually seen or felt mechanical "influence' which were said to le spiritual. A few nights afterward he again visited Ixmbard. who was in "good medinmistlc condition." The room wa» examined, the black muslin framo was hung, the lights were turned down, and (Jouvernler joined hands with the medium. Presently there came tumultuous rappings, accompanied by feelings of pulseloss hands on Uouvernier's limbs and fkce and then there rose from behind the muslin screeu a bulb of lucinosity that seemed sjuva 1 into an appearance of the face of a French lady so exquisitely beautiful that he lost his sense of horror in his sense of admiration. Tremulously he asked her name, and he hoard close to his ear, in a sepulchral whisper, "Helena, your soul's guide!"

Jouvernler carried from the seance a new thought that distracted his mind and his business lor many days, "If," said be abstractedly, "this spirit can materialise herself, as the Doctor aays, out of tho pure elements of the atmosphere, assuming the shape, without the passions, vices, and. what are the same, the possibilities of humanity, why shall I not devote mv love to her—let her clothe mv ideal nan It never occurred to our puh d, sensitive Wend that the voting French spirit might, when she find rmllv ieen on earth in ante-spiritual form, hare been subject to all ihe paeons, vices, and possibldtlea of the average H\ ing woman whom he scorned. Perhaps death had lefl tier soirit pure! At this second iuten!'"* with "Helena.*' her voice, grown s« or, informed him that she wowld soon lie able to remain longer, that spiritually she was alwavs with him, and tliat anon when his "negative" power* were more fully developed, he would be able to have her materialise herself at any dusky moment. What blisa for Oouvernier! She loved him, and he loved—aye, now, without shame, passionately worshipped —a woman's soul in a woman's form. Sweet ideal!

It must be supposed that "Dr." Loma a a nothing. Dollar- in j..! Lomlui I a b: erto lean pocket-took, and Uou vernier at length proposed by means of hla wealth to retain for nimself alone the serricea of the man who, despite bis economy of grammar, stood between him and his other soul. O Lore! The Doctor was willing, and vv." night proposed that Gouvernier,a Helena fhou'd swear fcalty In aoul-wHlock,

with Bweot words call themselves spiritually one. You may even go to her when you die, said Lombara, "whoro they are neither married nor given in marriage." This saying shocked Gouvernier, who had Ideas, and who, beln a man, after all wanted shapely an beautiful Helena all for himself on earth, and not spiritually for everybody In the 8ummer land. He wedded her, and when sho said "Richard, no child can grace our relationship." ho replied "Then thero can be no doubts, my sweet ileal."

One night Helena's feoe and soul-In-spiring bosom appeared above the shilling muslin drapery distorted, and immediately disappeared but her hand, as usual.'swept gently over his brow in the darkness. She explained to him that the conditions of tho atmosphere were unfavorable she could not materialize Htlll hor soul was the same. But Gouvornier was human, and having lost his ideal, wanted tho real. Tho dim but bluo eyes, the vague but luscious lip, tho shadowy but swelling bosom, had superseded his poetical and passionless abstraction. For weeks she did not come. Ho offered Lombard five thousand dollars for one appearance, In despair he returned to his telescope, his heart aching and his hair growing f^ray. lie went one morning into the optician's shop of L. Grausberg, on Broadway, to have a lens teaMJ, and sat swinging his heels from a stobl, when Grausberg said, "I've a curiosity here, a beautiful portrait broken, and I could havo a thousand dollars from a ventriloquist for mending it. It is a copy by Vernot, on glass, of Rubens' "Virgin," painted after a. mistress of Louis XII. It has been used in a magic-lantern slide which is brokon." Gouvernier carelessly glanced at it, and saw Helena, his soul-wife! G. C.

Ho whose heart is full soon finds a looso tongue. Beware of tho geoso when tho fox preaches.

Every cord of wood given to tho poor is recorded above. The devil tempts others an idle man tempts the devil.

When the ass bears too light a load he wants to lie down. Men who never do wrong seldom do anything.—[Boston News.

Whatever yo* dislike in another take caro to correct in yourself. Time never sets heavily upon us but when it is badly employed.

The slander of some people is as great a recommendation as the praise of others.—[Fielding.

A WINONA girl was accidentally shot in tho leg some time ago, and although tho surgeon called upon her daily for a week and instituted a thorough search, he was unable to find the ball until the girl's mother took him by the ear and pranced him arousd the room once or twice.

If vou doubt what we say in print, cut this ont and take it to your Druggist and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and trv it, or a regular size for 75 cents. mar27-eow
