Elginbrod, of Buffalo, to a young laty acquaint- ance. After a few moments of society chatter, he suggested the ice cream saloon. ‘Then she arose and introduced him to her two school girl fulends, her mother, the mother of one of her friends and an’ avant who was visiting them. Then the aunt introduced h'm to her elder sister and an old lady who was not a rela tive. they explained, but was as dear to them as though she was their own mother. Then they all satd, in a general sort of way, “Well. are you all ready?” and priswered themselves in the aftirmative, as they slowly followed the horror-stricken young man to the door, and the Procession filed off down the street toward the lee cream saloon, stopping on the way at a house to pick up the old lady’s daughter, and calling st a store for the twin cousins of one of the aunts—beautiful girls they wer-—from Spiingtield, I watched the column when 1 swung by fours, right into line in sront of the ice creaw saloon, where it formed I'ke a line of men ata railway ticket office, the old lady e'n!- ing and patiently bringing up the rear,stand\og under the filckering’gasiight and the steadfast Stars, awaiting her chance at the irozen pud- Ging. It wes far, far in the summer mgnt when Julian ginbrod returned to the hotel, aad when I looked out of the window and saw bis pallid face and gilttering eyes, and noted the Ciub in one hand and the revolver in the other, and heard him mention my name and a3k the night cierk what was the number of iny rootn, I feared that he might feel harshly toward me, and bariicaded the door of my room with the lounge, the bedstead, the stove aad the trunk, Just betore he came banging against it. He stept 1n the ball that night across my threshold, and loniy escaped the next aiterncon, when the landlord, aweary of his incessant Penning, of my door panels with his club, had bim arrested as a dangerous lunatic.

[Alden in New York Times.) Pasnting and plumbing are crimes that go hand In hand. The plumber does not necessarily oer neither does the patuter ordinarily plum; ut the man who ts capable of the one is always capable of the other. ‘he qualities that enabie a man to follow a successful. career of plumbin: are precisely those that would fit him tor paint. Jog. So close is the relationship between the two occupations that we often fad a plumber associating himself in business with a patater, and brazenly displaying the sign, “Plumbing, gasfl.tiog and house painting done here.” Tous, while one Jietenss paints the outside of the house the other plumbsits intetior,and between the two the ruin of the house owner is made comph te. The painter resemblos the eed in_ his deep-rooted unwillingness to keep his agree- ments. One of his chief objects in life is to put off the hour of painting until the house owner's patience ts completely exhausted, and his con- sequent indignation deprives him of that men- tal equanimity necessary for a successful con- test with the painter's wiles. There was, prod- ably, never an instance of a painter who painted a house on the day when he had promised to paint it. He never makes less than three post- porements.- His excuse for the first of these 18 that he Is out of white lead or turpentine, and has been unable to procure them. ‘The second postponement is made because the painter pro- fesses to foresee a coming shower of rain— which refuses to come with as much obstinacy #sit it had been propbesied by Prot. Vennor— and for the painter's third failure to appear on the piomised day he pleads either an attack of illness or the failure of his assistant to provide him with laddei3. by this time the house-owner has become so indignant that, when the painter actually arrives, the latter finds 1t comparatively easy to overthrow the ents of the former tn favor of any particular color. It 1s a point of honor with ‘tue painters never to let a man have bis own choice as to the color with whieb his house shall be painted. The hous*-owner and his wife may have given much time to the selec- Uon of @ nice color for the house and a suitable Shade for the trimmings, but when he lays the two tnts before the painter the latter Inva- riably replies, “O, them colors went do at all, sir.” In vain does the unhappy man insist that he likes them, and that, therefore, they will and must “do;” the painter bends a pitying glance upon him and asserts that he has no idea how the two tints In question will look when laid on the house. In most cases his obstinacy overrules the house owner, and the latter is compelled te consent to having his house painied with colors which he privately thinks detestable. Sometimes, however, the palater pretends to acquiesce in bis victim's views, and the latter flatters himself that he has geined a victory. Hegoon finds out, when it 1s too late, that no painter ever yet consented to adopt colors which he bimself had not selected. ‘The Louse owner may have supposed that his house was to be painted a delicate cream color, but he will find that it has been painted Indian red, ind that the patnter insists that he has Stulctly followed his instructions, although, as he pretends, it 1s Just posstvie that the tint has been mixed a trifle too warm. What can the helpless man whose house has been thus un- jJawiully painted red do with the wretch wo calmly insists that Indian red is really a delicate cream color, rendered a tufle too warm in the mtxing?| He may Kili the paluter, but unjust laws Of the country will punish him, or he may at vast expense bire another patnter, and have bis house painted, with results as u4- satisfactory as those which attended his first effert. If he is a wise man, he simply submits to the inevitable, and recognizcs the fact that no man can have bits house repainted to sutt btm- self. There is a worthy gentleman residing in a New Jersey suburban town, who for twenty years has been trying to have his house painted & particular shade or brown. During that time he kas employed four different painters, and has bad his house painted successively yellow, Ted, green and orauge, but never once has been able by threats or entreatles to Induce a painter to use the brown paint for which he sighs. It 1s, of course, possible for a man to buy his own part, ‘thus procuring the precise shade which he desires, and then to hire a painter to put tt on the house. This experiment has been Uied, but noman, haying once tried it, ever tries it again; such’ method of palating a house should not be attempted by any one whose in- Come is leas than $15,000 a year. ‘The amount of paint, turpentine, and brushes that the painter uses will be found to cost rather more than the house. No matter if the paint merchant has Made a careiul calculation of the quantity of paint that will be sufficient to cover the house, the painter will demand at least three umes that amount, ard will then ruin ‘bts employer in turpentine and brushes. More- over, the amount of paint which the painter, who 1s hired by the job, contrives to spill on every available spot of surface where paint is not desired ts enormous. Ie never fails to ope at least two well-tilled pans pots, and always selects the worst possible localities for the performance of this feat. If we add to this the humber of panes of glass which the painter knocks out with the end of his ladder, and the blinds he breaks with the same effective In- strument, 1t will be found, on the whole, cheaper to set the house on fire than to hire a painter to paint it with colors selected and tur- nished by the house owner. In any event, the painter, when he comes to make out his bill, displays an amount of un- blushing wickedness which the plumber alone cantival. He charges for his paints, brushes and turpentine; for his time, and for “the job.” He never takes less than twice the time to paint @ house which he originally said would be sut- fictent, and if he is Le A enough to be able to pretend that a sudden shower has spolled the paint which he bad just laid on, he can pro- ceed to paint the house all over again. As be- tween the petnter and the plumber there is little to choose. The latter is, perhaps, a little the bolder of the two, but the former accom. plishes bis criminal putpose with at least equal success, A PLEASANT LITILE Party of New Yorkers were amusing themselves by diiving a four-in- hand through the lovely valley of the Conneeti- cut River. At one of the provincial towns, where they put up over night, the hotel in which they took up theit quarters was full of *surn- mer boarders.” A prudent mother hearing that one of the tourists was a very hich man, Was heard to remark to herself softly, * Lordy! what a pity Eitza Ann hatnt got her store tee’ back Irom Bosting.
