. wlik a Ida - f Wet. Tb« first tfat yqa ww ft rtarafijM W. every- body looks st yon. Not, as you may vainly imagtnft, bMsnse you arc tbe first young man ftrbo ever wore a store pipe . fcat, bat because it is apparent even to the old blind man who sits in the back * ■ * * «i\ pew, without any cushion, away back under the gallery where the poor have tho gospel preached at them, that is the first time you ever wore a hat of that _ _ ,description. Your old lather claps one on the back of his head, puts hards his into bis pocket, bolds up his head and walks off down the street in a gale of wind and never thinks of his-hat. But you, son, yqu pi ll yours on at the most graceful angle it can bo posed, and you go teet ering along, both hands ready to fly at tlic hat at tbe slightest provooation of the ghostliest phantom ol a puff of wind. You don't look comfortable, eon, Your liat is always trying to come off; you bump against everything you pass; you rub it tho wrong way when you try to brush the dust off it; when you carry it in your hand up tho aisle, everybody smiles because, you hold it by. the brim and let tho crown tip gracefully over your arm, and by the time you have hit three of four worshipers on tho head with it, you change and turn it ut.der your arm and try to carry it that Way without touching it, and tho first thing yon do in that pose, you put a womaifs cyo out with your elbow. Then when you sit down, you pub the hat on tho fioor, setting it on the brim ; a fatal mis take. And then before the sermon is half through, you put your feet ou it three times. Bat nsver mind; you have to learu some time. Only dou’t imagine that people never saw anything of tho kind before, for they have. And finally, son, if you an only fiva feet throe inches tall, don’t think that a hat three feet five inches high improves your Planters, A T T JS xiimi oppcaranca or makes you loek-taHen It ^* coul ^ ot pupp , y , th# demand for the may make you look as though you clerked in a second hand clothing store, but it doesn't mako you look taller. By .and bye, when you have worn n high hat two or three years, you will wear it ao naturally that it will become you. But 4he first t : me oh, mj son, my son ! llijah’a Hour. FDetroit Fr*e Pr*** J • .. M. Nu, lie wasn’t an angel. In the first place lie was all logs and mgs and no wviaga, and in tho next he had taken up (his quarters in a hogshead in an ally and avos singing at midnight ; < iCstuff-! : * It’s ruff— But I’m up to snuff; And this world shall kn<wr, Wherever I go, ,. That my name In world known as Samuel McDuff. A policeman passed that way and asked him to step out and take a little air for the benefit of bis health. “ I’ll hold the fort till I die,” replied Mr. McDuff, in a voice resembling the roar of a lion. Tho oflVccf began a system of gentle coercion. He played a tanc on the hogs head with his baton, but the roar and tbe din delighted the old man, and ho sang: 1 hear the gentle x“phyrs blowing. Like murmers from the sea. < Then tho officer pounded on the hogs head with a rock, but the old man sang all tho harder. As a lust resort the po- lioemnn seised the hogshead and rolled it over the locks in the alley until the head fell in and the man was tangled up in the hoops. But he was game. llis< ing like ft Phoenix, or two or three of them, he charged up and down until a second officer arrived to seize his coat- fail. He was then taken to the Central Nation. The procession was five minutes pass ing some points, and only a second pass ing others, and Mr. McDuff arrived at the cooler with almost half a shiit on his back. He came before tbe court plumb up and down, and without waiting for any preliminaries lie called out: “ Samuel McDuff is just dying to bo sent up for three mouths.” “ I guess I can accommodate you,” quietly replied bis Honor, as he picked up his pen. * ‘ “Aid I demand ice cream and roast thicken three times a day," continued tho prisoner. “Vftty well—you can retire.'’ “ And retiro I will yootlloBor, but not until I make mo bow and show (he good society I was brung up in.” Ho stopped back, spit on both hands, drew lo ft full breath, and the bow he bowed was grand enough for a duke ut the head of a banquet table, A Bath (Me.) paper says a house wife was bothered by (he propensity shown by the cat and iior two kittens of getting beneath her feet. She asked her hnsbftnd ia the .presence of tho feiincs to droira the kittens. Ho said he would after dinner. After dinner the kittens wwwnot'lft Be foihd. Two da vs later the cat brought a moose Into the kitchen and laid it at her mistreaa’ feet “ Now puss,” said the lady, “ if you’ll take that i r out of tho way and will keep I will keep your kittens from • wider my feet you may bring them back to the bouse. ” Puss trudged away with the mouse, went to ft hole under the hern and soon came to ward the hove with the two kittens fol lowing her. . e THE white Is T7F SEWING MACHINE <NT Unrivaled in Appaaranca, Unparalleled in Simplicity, Unsurpassed in Construction, - Unprecedented in Popularity, And Undisputed in the Broad Claim •rMHtaTN* j * ' VKXkY BEST OPERATING QUICKEST BELX.INO, HANDSOMEST, AND Host Perfftot Sowing ‘ Ibohl&i IN THE WOULD. .
