iaar another ten, and holing both in Ua teeth, he atoffcd the wallet beck into tbe has, locked it up with half the string outside and made a mah toiK the tloketoffice. Procuring the tickets, the Una waa aoon safely aboard the train. .And now Mr. Demon did what he considered a particularly smart thing. Betas were fairly under way, he took his note of band at one day After amount of his fare. **Theyhain' like doin' things up a' oordin' to a I" be remarked in proposing the matter.
It was the fin* journey Mr. Densou had ever undertaken by rail. For a time be was greatly overcome by the novelty of the situation, and sat silently clutching tbe carpet-bag aud staring around him in a mild state of stupefaction. Gradually, be came out or this, 4. and was seized with an irresistible d»- & sire to ride on tbe platform, and to roam from one car to another which be did
I until peremptorily commanded bv the conductor to take a seat and keep ft under penalty of being put off the train.
This species of lunacy was succeeded by another no leas alarming to Mr. Kinman, in as much as that gentleman could not by the very utmost exercise of bis ingenuity get the carpet-bag away from & him. He uegau to start up at every sound of the whistle, and rush madly for tbe door, under tbe insane ImpresI- alon that they had reached Cincinnati, and that only tbe utmost celerity in $ alighting would wive them from being carried on past it and blind and deaf to everything else, his desperate partner had notblngfor it at such times, but to throw himself on him bodily and hold him in the seat by main strength until they were out of sight of the town.
At length, much to the relief of botb, tbey did reach Cincinnati, and Mr. Denson and tbo yarn string stHI hung to tbe carpet-bag, though greatly the worse for wear. Overcoming his partner's decided preference for a "wagon-yard." as a place where a man might "put up" for a few day» without being "extortionod on," Mr. Kittinfm got him into air omnibus, and from that, eventually, into a hotel which he pledged him his sacred word of honor was the cheapest place In town to stop. After registering and being shown to a room, Mr. Kinman explained that, it being now three o'clock and consequently alter banking hours, it was too late in the day to do any business and he would therefore, while his partner rested and refreshed himself a little, step out and make a short call on a young clerical Mend of his, who lived close by, and was engagod in missionary work in the city and who was, in fact, a sort of relation of his.
Mr. Denson, who was on pins and needles to count his money, gave his unqualitiod assent to this proposition ana the sort of relation to tbe clerical gentleman wont off down the hall, whistling to himself yerv, very softly, as if he were pleasantry engaged in turning something over in his mind: down the hall—down the stairs—and— down the street.
And now it would have seemed, to a person who knew Mr. Kinman'a errand, that he searched for his clerical friend in most uncommonly queer, and one might have thought, unukely plaoes such as bar rooms, billiard halls, beer cellars, and the like 5 but ho found him, at last, in a mock-auction establishment near the river, and carried him off t# a neighboring saloon where,- shutting himself up with him in a back room, be no doubt lectured him severely for keeping such disreputable oompany.

I From Hearth and Home.] ^1 rtls hair wasn't whito—not exactly the color of the pastry Hour, but a cursory glaneo would have markod it down in a straugor's mental memorandum book as white. Ho had a hatchet-like face. It was not a face exactly like a hatchet, but it was a long face and a thin one, and was wider at the eyes than at the chin. There were freckles ou his nose, a tew distributed over his choeks, and there wss an hoi)ost, truthful look In bis large blue eyes. A mental Inventory of the boy would have read:
Some wandering, homeless lad, determined that tho world owes him a living not a bad boy, as boys run, but yet prepared to make the most of favorable drauuMtanoee."
He boarded the boat just as she was swinging clear, and he nodded familiarly to eh* captain, sullied tenderly at tbe clerk, and carried the air of one who paid his fare and had plenty of money left, though, truthfully speaking, he hadn't seen a shiuplaster In his own fingers for days and day*.
Sauntering Into the cabin ha selected a victim. It is not necessary that whitehaired boys should have victims, but this one walked across tbe cabin and seated himself beside an aged female. She was a female with two satchels and a parcel. Hhe had spectacles on her hair was bordering on the gray she had Just regaled her noae with a liberal pinch of black suulT—soft, balmy snuff, Seen trod with cinnamon oil to euhanoe its natural flavor.
Never on a boat before, I see Y" he remarked, as he gave her a searching, yet innocent look.
Lots o' times," she replied, returning his took without flinching, aa If she believed him a sharper and meant to bluff him at tbe verv start. 1 thought not else you wouldn't be seated hero, right over the bilera. and them tiretneu chucking In lard and taller and kerosene oU lo get up sto enough to catoh tbe other boat f" he piled.

She gave a tittle start, looked hurried ly around, and there waa a little smile in the corner of hie toft eye aa he noticed how the arrow had atraok the target.
Thou it ain't jm* here t" ahe asked. It uulv be, but—but—" Ills lMrttattou decided her. Rising up and seising her satchel and panel she vacated the cabin for tbe promenade deck, where ahe secured a seat on a hard •tool, and raised ber blue parasol to keep off the sun. She waa thankftil for tbe boy's warning, and ahe blamed bereelf for not •penlng the parcel and offering him a doughnut, a wiled egg, and taste from the tumbler of jelly.
A quarter of an hour had passed and a ahe was feeling very comfortable, when [whe boy with white hair put in an ap~ I VearatMM. llisfacedld not look solemn did not betray mirth but there waa deep concern la his tone a he halted and exclaimed:

He suddenly became interested In a passing steamer, slipped away, and she lilted her bundles and walked to tbe other end of the boat. She had come aboard with full confidence that the trip would be pleasantly made, and she wondered how tbe public—the free American people—could calmly permit a boat to leave laden with human beings who might be torn to fragments any moment by an explosion. She was wishing that she had taken tbe cart, when the boy with white hair sat down beside her and softly began: "You know that every biler has two ends. If you were aft ana that end blew out you would be torn to strijw. If you are here and Una end blows out, no one will ever be able to recover the relic of you

You may be safe,
but I will not assume the fearful responsibility of saying so TV She gathered up the satchels and tbe parcel,, entered the cabin, looked all around, and finally sat down in a chair behind the door. The boy with white hair found her again after awhile. She had almost fallen asleep, but his exclamation spoedily aroused her.
What! Behind the door—right Qver tbe larboard steam-chest!" Ain't this safe, either?" she gasped. ^ladam, ten steam-chests explode to every one bilerf and statistics prove it. The pieces tew, and grind, and splinter, and Kill in an .awful manner. \ou can git there if you wish, but—but.—"
And be went down stairs, and I saw her come out on the pronsenade-deck and look at the ^moke-stacks to see if there wasn't a safe spot up there spmewhere.
TBE STOCKINGS OF TBE PERIOD. [From the Home Journal.] Tbei Paris shops are full of the most fenciftil designs in this one detail of feminine attiro. They are made in cream color, lemon color, orange yellow, straw color, pink, pale blue, pale green, lilac, light brown, dark brown, crimspn, scarlet, purple, In short, in every shade of every color. But the precise tint is only half the question the designs worked upon the stockings aro by far the most Important part of it, as regards fashion, and these are of the most varied description.
One pair of stockings which excited much admiration from the passers of a oortain well-known shop in Paris was in lemon color, and the instep of each foot was oovered with bunches of black currants, with their twigs and leaves, most delicately embroidered in tbe colored silks.
Another example of ornamentation lay close at hand, In tbe form of a black ilk stocking, round the leg of which a garter of pink rosebudsand leaves winding upward from the ankle was exquisitely embroidered. This last fashion is very popular Just now. Stockings so embroidered are, of course, enormously dear. Few women can afford to buy many such expensive articles of dress as these garlanded stockings tbereforo it becomes a matter of eager competition among the leaders of fashion to secure as many specimens of tho latest rage as tbelr purses will allow. The mama is instilled, and henceforth tho woman of tho world takes rank according to her stockings. Garlands of flowers do not hold the field alone. It must be observed. In some cases Inscriptions and devices are embroidered round the legs of the modern stockings, and rows and patterns are worked in colored silk stars or spots. The ground, however, of all this work must, on no account, be white.
DOMESTIC BARBKRING. You can always tell a boy whose mother cuts his hair.' Not because the edges of the hair look as though they bad been ehewed off by an absentmihded horse, but you tell it by the way be stopi on the street and wriggles his shoulders. When a fond mother has to out her boy's
oarpet to set htm on the floor, and put the sheet around his neck. Then she draws tbe front hair over his eyes, and leaves It there, while ahe outs that which is at the back. The hair whloh Ilea over his eyes appears to be on fire. She has unconsciously continued to push his head forward until his noes presses his breast, and Is too busy to notice the snuffling sound that la becoming alarmingly frequent. In the meantime he is seised with ah irreaiatable desire to .blow his nose, but recollect* thst his band kerchief Is in the other room. There Is ally I Igkta
Attldshe commences to cry and wish he was a man. But his mother doean't notice him. She merely bit* him on tho other car to inspire him with oonfldMea When she la through, she holds his Jack-et-collar back from his neck, and with her mouth blows the short bHa from tbe top of his head down his back. He calls her attention to this feet, but ahe looks fer a new place on hie head, and hits him them Then be takes his swfbllydia&gured bead to the mirror and loess at it. and, young aa he is, shudders as be thinks of what the boys in tho street will say.
a ORA TKFUI. CITIZEN [Oetrolt Pre* Pim] **Is this the postofflce?" inquired a stranger tbe ether day as be approached the stamp clerk's window. "It is," waa the reply. "And you have stamps

Yes, air." ^Will yon be so

"1 witt.** **rm very sorry to bave to bother you," continued tho stranger while the clerk waa tearing off the stamp, "hot I want to send a letter out and I you'll excuse me." "Thafe aU ri_ replied the clerk. "Tea, believe aUright," replied the stranger. «ftn a thousand times obliged for your oourte- «», and new 1 went to beg one favor more.

It is very reepeotable, if not wholly stupid —which is saying a good deal ror Morristown..
Nast lives there in splendid style. His home is a model one in every respect. His family consists of a wife, three daughters and a son and a more charming or a more united domestic group I have never seen anywhere. It was an ideal marriage and tne result Is an ideal home. I should like to say more about this famous household, but I can not consent (although I should only have pleasant pictures to draw) evjn to seem example which cy wbi circle tbe private life of every citizen.
to sanction by my example that vandal ism of journalism which sees nothing sacred in the privacy which ought to en ivate lif
however humble'or however i*uiinent. Nast ia a man of great taste.' He delighs in his home, and has taken every pains and spared noexpense to makeit a beautiful one. In every nook and corner tbe exqusite skill and the trained eye of tbe true artist is seen. In pain tings, in statuary, in bronzes, in decorations, in styles of furnitute, in everything, everywhere, there is shown the hana &nd brain of the lover of tbe beautifnl.
Nast is a strong man, not in bis genius, but in his character. He bates a sbatn, ami has no reverence for it, whatever its name or antiquity. He is full of fight he glories in assailing strong iniquity but he is as vigilant for the weak endurer as be is courageous against the g-ddor. Mr. Red path wanted Mr. Nast to lecture, and Mr. Prang wanted him to do some artistic work and, after much persuasion, both of them wrung a reluctant consent from him. So he will lecture on the Cenetennial next fall, and draw comic historical sketches that will delight the lyceum audiences.

A stbikino fact in connection with fhe dying is that they are not afraid of death.' You notice ibis even in executions. The majority of men who are hanged are reported to die "game." Death following aiseasp or injury is, with the rarest exceptions, unaccompanied with fear. se dulls tbo intelligence so that the situation may not be fully comprehended or there may be pain, and death is looked upon as a relief. Nature, by a kindly provision seems to prepare for the flight of the spirit as the bold upon life grows weaker, so does tbe desire for life grow less and in scarcely a single instance witbin my own experience, or Within that of my professional brethren, with whom I have conversed upon this point, has not the dying man relinquished life at the last without seeming reluctance or fear.
