For a moment nobody seemed to regard the question as directed particularly at him, but nally the trotting horse reporter removed his usly proportioned feet from the desk on which they had been resting, and allowed a smile to play over his quarter-streteh features. “Haye you a baby?” he asked. “Why, replied the young woman, her tone indicating surprise, slightly tinged with anger. eral ni = th id the personal friend of Rarns, ‘ou musta’t get angry, because one soft sen- stons day in sammer, when the birds were twit- terlng their sweetest twits, a woman came up e on the same errand that brings you, and we had picked out a pretty smooth’ title for her infant—I forget whether it was Miriam or Carita we settled on—she went away happy, and along in the fall—the golden-tinted fall— j Just as the leaves were turning brown and all nature seemed hushed in sweet repose, waiting for the base ball championship to be’ decided, she came back again with a wistful, weary look in her soft brown eyes, and said she had been mistaken—it was a boy. Woman’s nature, you know, isso buoyantly hopeful. so sweetly pre- vious, that she will frequently mistake a four flush for the realarticle. It is the painful meim- ory of a blackened past that makes us cautious about furnishing names for babies until we know that the little cherubs are here. Do you | cateh on?” The lady nodded. Weil,” resumed the admirer of Mand S., “there are lots of things to be considered in naming a baby. Your husband's name is—?” “Perkins.” replied the lady. “That isn't a bad name, although tt would be dificult to enshroud it with the mystic glamour of romance. But I hardly think “Beatrice.” would look well in front of it. The name of ‘Beatrice,’ you know, is always associated with state and beauty. and your little toosy-wootsy might grow up bow-legged and pug-nosed. And, be- sides, ‘Beatrice Perkins’ wouldn't sound’ yust ight.

It is seldom that @ man chooses so inoppor- tune @ place as a erowded opera house to tel | the story of his love. Last evening, at the Eu- clid ayenue Opera House (says the Cleveland Press) a couple oceupied seats near the south | aisie of the parqnette. The lady was handsome, | with dark eyes and hair, and red lips. She was dressed in black, with a wide Mother Hubbard collar and a wide Gainesborough hat. Her es- cort was a dark man, with black moustache and hair, and seemed not so tall as the lady. He wore his stunningest necktie; and his hair gave | out an odor of Diars’ oil, which stole over the delighted seases like coal gas from a leaky base- | burner. He nestled close to her side, offered her and murmure toved you ever since I first met you.” The faintest little summer cloud of a frown passe over ner face as she replied: “I don't see what there was about me to love, dressed as I was in that old plaid traveling It wasn't your dress, it was the girlish sweetness, the native modesty, which pervaded you.’ Just then the curtain went up on another act. and she requested him to postpone his love ne until the close of the dramatic scene. He had no eyes for the play save the play of mirth and tenderness over ber features. Finally he took from lis chewing-tobacco pocket some cards containing the names of ladies with whom he had kept company. : Then from the pocket of his vest, situated ex- ‘tly where his throbbing heart kept pounding aa a door. he drew the card of the lady at his asked him why he carried it there, a question Whose answer she well knew, and in a peach- and-cr@am tone of voice he replied: “Because Hove you.” “I don't see why you should,” have neyer wiven you any encouragement to lead you to believe that I loved you. I am keeping company with several gentlemen, one of whom expects me to marry him.” The young man’s face turned ta the color of Cleveland mills’ flour, and an injured look such as a wounded cazelle wears came into his eyes. S “You doa’t expect to marry this year,” gasped e. A wicked smile played over her features as ske replied: “He wants me to marry him this month, but I am so busy in the store that 1 haven't time to prepare.” ‘Then the young man pleaded in a lower tone, ane as a last inducement told her: Bam my mother’s pet.” id bs you dear tootsy-w 1” whi a man, who had overoard the os pi ich dng to is companion. cae he love-sick swain the girl to take a walk after the theater, ia order ee he might tay the matter before her, but she woulda’t hear to it.

It was the schooner Betsy Jane, For Boston from Qutncee, And the skipper had hobbled down below ‘To take his rye whiskee. Red was his nose as a carrot tip, ‘His breath of potations told, And the only use for water, Ne swore, Was to float his vessel bold. ‘The skipper he turned up from below With a new light in his eye; And he looked aloft and he looked alow, And he gazed at the evening sky. “A good fair wind and an easy sea, And a fust-rate mate I've got; T'll finish that bottle of liquor,” he said, And his vessel he soon forgot. Oh, woe for the skipper who filled so full! The mate was a pirate bold, And he took a deep oath on a’marlinespike ‘That his aim was gore and gold. He had read of the deeds of Morgan and Teach, And he revelled In Captain Kidd; And he had spent a year on Squantum beach Tn searching for treasures hid, He the Betsy Jane. uughed to scorn the winds and waves; Tin the Sea King, and Pl ix ‘This vessel up as a pirate cratt”— She was loaded then with bricks. Oh, the chaste full moon looked down that night Gn a ad of royal mien Who stood at the helm of the Betsy Jane, Aged Just about thirteen. He almed te rival the Boy Buccaneer, And he cautiously looked around, And matured his plans as the vessel sailed From Quincy to Boston town. He would take the Betsy Jane to sea— Ho, ho, for the Spanish Main! And the Florida Keys and the Bahamese, And hurrah for the Betsy Jane! He would make the skipper walk the plank, And a plank he aecordingly fixed; He would stand on the end and tilt it up— Oh, he knew the pirate’s tricks. So he called the skipper up froin below, And he gently led the way Where the plank was leading from the side ‘To the waters of the bay.

The laughter came to a sudden end; ‘The pirste’s reign Js o'er, When he rose from athwartthe Captain’s knee He seemed to feel quite sore. ‘The Betsy Jane satled on her way, From Quincy to Boston town, But ‘twas fifteen days ere the pirate bold Found comiort in sitting down. ee THE DRAWING BOOM LAMP. A Mellowed Effuigence That is Favor~ able to Facial Effects, From the Loudon World. = The art of drawing room decoration has now reached a point ef unprecedented perfection, anda drawing recom never shows to such ad- vantage as when the fire has just been made up for 5o'clock tea, and the lamps, newly kindled, shed, through the crimson shades placed upon the globes, a rich lustre around. ‘The mellowed effulgence is peculiarly favorable to facial effects, and a countenance which can scarcely conceal the ravages of time in the fierce glare of day is rejuvenated by the subdued radiance of well- behaved moderators. Gas is one of the great enemies of the human race; as it tarnishes silver and kills flowers, so is it. if not fatal, at least malignantly hostile to the fairest coun! whose first youth has gone. The expui gas from drawing rooms and from dwelling rooms generally, is one of the events on which | the present age is cordially to be congratulated. In many London houses it was, indeed, never | tolerated, just as it is rigidiy excluded from some of the best managed clubs. But its con- venience was so great and it sayed so much trouble that it was difficult to dispense with it. At la-tit has been discovered that it hasa de- | structive quality. Ladies, young and old, have found from experience that it Is unbecoming; that if a drawing room and its mistress are to | look well there is no such picturesque security for their doing so as the subdued and faint | tinted light thrown by the latest novelties in | drawing room lamps. f —+¢-—_______ The Esthetic Chamber. The ceiling and cornices are painted golden bronze, the latter being picked out with green and silver bronze, repeated throughout the woodwork, which has the general appearance of Japanese ayenturine lacquer. A dark-hued | tapestry paper with metallic diaper pattern serves as an effective background for the choice | little paintings on the walls, and afine iridescent Mvcrish plate suspended above one of the doors. | A quaint hammered metal lamp with heavy silk | cord and tassels of pomegranate red hangs from | the-ceiling with picturesque effect. Excepting some odd chairs, curiously carved and luxu- riously upholstered. the furniture is of ebonized cherry with brass fittings. A dull brown, heavy Axminster carpet shows to advantage two or three Turkish yugs, excellent in color. The general sombreness of the walls and farniture acts as a foil to the rich coloring of the drapery, which is chiefly plush ot robin’s-egg blue. This, with old gold plush, makes a curtain for the fireplace, over which is a piece of rare Chinese | silk embroidery—a many-hued floral design | upona brilliant yellow greund.

From the Boston Post, Somebow, theery and practice don't seem to hitch up together much better than an elderly and irascible cat and a bull-dog in the heyday of his youth and cussedness. Last Sun- day Parson Bangle became disgusted with the untruthfulness of mankind and preached a vigorous sermon in denunciation of society falsehood. He declared that lies told just out of politeness were just as wicked as those told with the deliberate intention of deceiving as to the value ofa horse. In fact, these society lies get folks into the habit of lying, and they readily pick up the ether kind. The sermon made a great impression. Many of the congregation resolved to reform. Coming out of church, Deacon Jones said to Judge Badger, who sits in front of him: “Judge, I hope you didn’t mind my putting my feet under your pew?” The Jndge was about to reply: “Oh, certainly not;” but he thought of the sermon and answered: “I did, thongh; your old hoofs took up all the room, and were a fearful nui- sance.” “Well,” said the deacen, “the hair- oil you use smells so it nearly forced us to leave the pew.” They glared at each other, and Just then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jinkins came along. Miss Jinkins had asked: “How do you like my new bonnet?” love—" replied Mrs. B.,and then she thought ofthe sermon, and continu No, I didn't, either. It is a horrid thing. I wouldn’tebe seen with it.” And Miss Jinkins got mad and replied: “Well, if I were you I'd not wear dirty stockings to church; and, if 1 did 'a@ keep “em out of t.” While these honest conver- sations were goin her next door neizhbor, Mr. Gallagher: “I hope the crying of our baby last night didn’t dig- turb you: And Gallagher had replied: that is—yes. 1 wanted to brain the brat.” And then Mrs. Razbaz called him a wretch, and wept. And thea the clergyman came out and asked young Symonds how he liked the sermon. ymonds said: “It was agrand ef—er—no, Par- son it was blamed nonsense.” “Sir,” said the parson, and he drew himself up indignantly. “0, I thought it just | on Mrs. Ragbag had said to | { | Tow. Just then Ragbag and Gallagher, after telling | each other some truth, clinched. Deacon Jones was trying to hold Miss Jinkins from seratching Mrs. Badwer, and every body was mad. It took tremendous efforts to stop the rows and prevent a scandal and, as it was, every body went away mad with every body else. And the parson went home and meditated in a gloomy frame of mind for thrée hours, and finally con- cluded that society lying was wicked: but he wonldn’t preach azainst Itagain. It’s altogether too handy a sin to be given up.
