The Gipsy's Warnin
Trust him not, oh gentle lady;
Though his voice bo low and sweet.
Heed not him who kueols before thee,
Softly pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life Is In Its morning;
Clond not this, thy happy lot;
Listen to the Gipsy's warning,
Gentle lady, trust him not.
Lady, once there lived a maiden,
Young and pure, and like thee, fair,
Yet he wooed, he wooed and won her.
Thrilled hergcntle heart with care.
Then he heeded not her weeping,
He cared not her life to save;
Soon hue perished now she's sleeping
In the cold and silent grave.
Lady, tarn not from mo so coldly;
For I have only told the truth,
From astern and withering sorrow.
Lady. I would shield thy youth,
I would shield thee from all danger.
Shield thee from theTpmpter's snare,
Lady, shun the dark-eyed stranger.
I have warned thee now beware.
Take your gold, I do not want It,
Lady, I have prayed for this.
For the hour that 1 might foil him,
And rob him of expected bliss.
Aye, I see thou art filled with wonder.
At my look bo fierce and wild.
Lady, In the church-yard yondor,
Sleeps the Gypsy's only child.
WHICH IS EIGHT.
BY LOUIS STOCKTON.
"That la a most nonsensical'. thing
to Bay," Jim remarked, as Belle held
the motto she was working offatnrru's
length, and gazed reflectively at it.
'When there's a will there's a way !
If it was true, how many good things
I would have!'
'Perhaps you would,' replied his
younger brother Bob, "if the proverb
meant that the way was ready made,
and all you had.to do was to saunter
down it up it, I mean.1
'If it does not mean that,' said Jim
'it ought to read, ' When there's a will,
go look for ;the way, and it is ten
ohanceB to one if you find it.' '
That is stuff!' exclaimed Bob; 'you
don't fancy the will, and the way are
like the Siamese twins, fastened to
gether, so if you see one you see the
other?'
'It means,' said Belle who had now
deoided upon the color of the silk
she needed, end who spoke with the
air of gravity becoming an elder sis
ter of seventeen, 'that if you have
the gun you must go look for the
game.'
Suppose fthere is none?' asked
Jim.
'Is none." Bob repeated; 'there is
always game,! There may not be a
buffalo'jupon yourfront door steps
waiting for you to come out, but just
tako your gun and go out West ! You
will find him there!'
'That is all very nice to say,' and
Jim, who was lying on the lounge,
clasped his hands under his head;
'but my experience of thld family it
may be different in otherB is, that
we aro alwaya wishing, but I don't
see that it does any good.jwe don't get
much.'
Itien't wiihing,' Bellefsaid, it Is
willing. Tbatjs a very different
thing.'
'Is it?' Jim asked. 'Perhaps It Is a
step further; 'I wish' comes first ; 'I
will' goes on to the war, and gets the
booty. '
Exactly bo, Jim, I have hopes of
you,' said Bob.
'But what I would like,' answered
Jim, 'is to see the thing. Who is it
who will first 'will' and then Had the
way?'
Aa if everybody did not!' and Bob
looked tho picture of determination,
'you do it yourself, often.'
'Oh, I do not mean in little things.
Something of importance, some great
deed !'
Then you must get geat people for
them, replied Belle. 'You don't sup
pose great things are done in Cedar
Creek? Now4there'a Napoleon Bon
aparte '
Where?' said Bob, craning his
head so as to look out of the window.
'Don't be silly !' and Belle continu
ed, 'don't you suppose he 'would' be
Emperor of France?'
'He was a great man,' replied Jim.
'I mean ordinary people Cedar Creek
heroes.
'It Is just as true for them,' Bob
said, 'only they must wish for ordi
nary things. Neither of us, my 003',
will ever be an emperor of Frauce.'
Well," and Jim sat up ; 'now let us
settle this matter. You eay where
there's a will there's a way you and
Belle. I say there isn't, not often.
Now, you make up your mind to do
something particular, and find the
way to do it. Ifyou succeed, I'll give
up : aud If you do not, Bell can give
me that motto for my room; for al
though It Isn't true, It's very pretty.'
And Bob, I suppose,' said Belle,
can pay his forfeit by framing it.'
'You speak words of 'wisdom,' an
swered Jim with gravity.
'That is a very nice arrangement,'
Bob exclaimed ; 'I do all the work,
and if I fall you get all the reward.
Suppose I succeed, what will I get?'
The reward of a good conscience,
answered Jimjwlth gravity.
You must make up your mind to
work for sometbing'.that itself will be
a reward, if you get it,' Belle said.
That is the way these great people
do; it isn't getting things for other
people.'
Yes, It is,' Bob replied. 'Now,
there was Dorothea Dix. Papa was
telling us only last night about her.
She could have had a vary good time,
I suppose, if she had been oontented
to Btay at home, but she found how
dreadfully the insane people were
treated in the hospitals and alms
houses, and just think how she trav
eled about It! She went to the places
and saw for herself how they were
put into horrid cells, that they were
chained, starred and beaten, and she
didn't go homo, and say what a shame
it was, and somebody ought to see
that things were made better. Not
she! She went right to the people
who had the power to make it better,
and she told them how things were,
and not off in Poland, either, but un
der their very noses, and she toid
them that thev were the people to
make it better.'
'YeB,' and Belle's eyeB lighted up,
and when they Bald it wasn't their
fault, but the law's, she went to the
Legislature and toid the men there. I
think it must have been very hard,
for first she had to interest them and
prove it all, and then get them to
work to alter the laws.'
And such men.'eaid Bob scornfully
'mere politicians!'
'There, now!' said Jim, 'there Is
one of the things.tbat oould be done!
I remember once that papa was com
plaining about some man who was
going to Congress, and grandpa said :
Now, Robert, thee make it thy busi
ness to see that a good man goes the
next time. Thee didn't take any
pains to keep this one from going, and
thee has no right to complain.' I nev
er forgot that.'
Well ' said Belle with an air of
much experience, 'I don't see why
politicians should be such horrid peo
ple. I am sure Mr. Graham is a very
nice man.'
'Of course he Is,' Baid Bob ; 'but
you don't think all the men Miss Dix
had to speak to were like him ?'
She didn't care for the men, Bob,'
replied Belle; 'all she thought about
was the crazy people, and even if the
men she had to convince were not all
like Mr. Graham .".they had.hearts.'
'What I would like to do,' Jim
said, reflectively, 'would be my own
work. I wouldn't want to make
speeches, and persuade, and nil that.
I would liko to sit at home and write
great books, or paint wonderful pic
tures; and I'd send them one. I
would stay at homeland not be both
ered with people.'
'You are lazy, Jim; that Is what's
the matter with you,' and Bob walk
ed to the window. 'You think that
would be easy, but you would have to
work justas hard, and you would care
just as muoh what the world would
say.'
'Maybe I would,' answered Jim,
but I wouldn't have to push myself ;
my picture or my dook wouldn't
care.'
'I tell you who I think was a hero,"
said Belle, 'Beethoven for he could
not know what his work was like. If
you paiited a picture you could see it,
and ifyou wrote a.bor: you could
read it; but he went' on composing
music, busy all'day"; thinking of flutes
aud violins, and singing voices, and
he could uever bear a tune. And,
then he knew it., was good. There
was no use in neglecting hiiu.he never
gave up; ho felt it was his busi
ness to write music and he did it.'
'I would have given it up,' said
Jim. I don't see why he didn't
There would have been enough ex
cuse for him.'
'Excuse!' cried Belle In scorn, 'as
if he wanted to be excused ! He
meant to write, and he wouldn't let
anything hinder him. He made a
way.'
What surprises me,' said Jim, 'is
that Bob Jtnsn't said a word about
Benjamin Franklin yet. I never bo
fore heard him speak of heroes for
five minutes without saying tome
thiug of him.'
I thought of him,' said Bob, 'and
I remembered one of th9 best things
that he over did. You know he talk
ed and talked about paving the Phila
delphia ctreets, and nobody saw any
use In it, even when the mud was bo
thick that the wagous stuck fast, and
people couldn't get over without get
ting knee-deep. Then don't you
know how he stopped talking, and
paved in front of bis own house, and
then the people began to cross there,
and bo after awhile somebody else
paved another piece.Jand they began
to see that it would he a good thing to
pave the whole street. That la what
I call finding a way.'
'The trouble is,' "Baid Belle, 'We
don't make up our minds to what we
want. We just go along and take
whatever we get, and we don't decide
that we want something else, and
mean to get It. We just wish for it.'
'Now, see here,' Baid Jim, 'do you
think the'Iieewellyiis are any smart
er than wo are? that Mr. Leowellyn
is a wiser man thau papa?'
'Of course not, replied Bob, with
indiguation.
Well, this iacertain In the Lee
wellyn family there are ever so many
distinguished people.'
Not any more so than papa. I am
sure everybody knows him.'
'Yes, but they don't know uncle
George, nor uncle Irwin. But all the
Leewellyus are judges or generals or
something.'
Because it is the fashion in the
family,' Bald Belle; 'they have to do
something. It is expeoted of them.'
And they help each other,' Jim
Baid. 'It-is very well to have a dis
tinguished father, but suppose all
your uncles and cousins are at the top
of the ladder, too ; don't you suppose
they would help you up?'
I don't want such help,' said Bob,
I would rather depend on myself.
Bu I tell you this, Jim ; if we three
were to make up our mindB that we
would not be nobodies all our lives,
don't you think we would find a way
to be somebodies?'
'Good or bad ? asked Jim.
Good! I don't mean that we would
be rascals ; but that we would be hon-
orable and useful, and when we died,
people would miss us, and be sorry to
lose us. Don't you believe we could
doit?'
'Would It be much trouble?' Inquir
ed Jim.
'Yes, it would. Plenty of trouble
and hard work,' replied Bob, stoutly;
that would be 'the way.'
are bound to have trouble,
But we
I suppose
everybody saj'B so we might as well
mako up our minds to it; but we al
so might aB well get some good out of
it.'
'Now Isn't he wise!' said Jim, 'wise
beyond his years!'
'I don't care,' said Belle, about be
ing anything wonderful, or having a
famous name; but I do think it
would be worth while to have some
kind of an object.'
'Haven't we ?' asked Jim. 'I know
I have plenty of objeots.'
Yes, but what do they amount to?'
Belle replied. 'I don't think it nec
essary to do great things; but sup
posesuppose I was to make up my
mind that the Carey girls were to
have all the sewing they need this
winter, I could do it.'
'I think it would be a very unnec
essary thing to do,' said Jim. 'I am
eure they ought to do that for them
selves. They are ever so muoh older
than you are.'
'That makes" no'Jdifference,' Bald
Belle; 'they need the work, and they
oan eew better than most women. I
know mamma thinks so. But they
can not go and ask for it, as I could.
Last week Madge Car 03' told me that
Mrs. Harold had sent to New York
for a dressmaker, and of course Bbe
could eay nothing, but I could have
begged Mrs. Harold to try Madge. I
know she would like her.'
Madge ought to ask for herself,'
persisted Jim.
But if Bhe don't I can. There is
no harm in it, and mamma says that
when they are oncejknown there will
be no trouble in their getting work.
You must remember they never ex
pected all this poverty and trouble,
and if they do not know how to man
age they cannotj,be blamed. I think
I will try.'
Is there anything you would liko
me to do?'
'Yes, there is,' said Bob. 'You
ought to help papa to catalogue his
books. He said he would have to hire
sotiio one, and I know you could help
him.'
It is a great deed I want, Robert,'
said Jim ; 'I burn for glory ! I want
to start at once upon a brilliant ca
reer.' Bob looked at hla brother. -
'I think,' said he.-'slowly,' that--I
will make a good French scholar of
myself.
'What special good will that do
you?' ashed Jim.
"I don't know,' said Bob, 'but I
have a good chance just now. I am
sure that this is what old Ben Frank
lin would have done made the most
of the chances of to-day.'
'Robert!' said Jim solemnly, 'You
are a oredit to your family. T am
afraid you will be of some account in
the world !' and with that Jim got up
and left the room, while Bob seized
his hat and was off to the orohard,
where he saw his mother gathering
harvest apples. Christian Union.
An Iowa Blatherskite. Iowa
has a Greenbaok Congressman who
has prophesied finauciai revolution so
persistently that he is known in the
Stale as "Calamity" Weller. His la
test reported utterance is a wish for
the destruction of "every grain of
wheat in Jowa," siuoe the greater the
crop failures the better the prospects
for the success of his party. It seems
incredible that any man could be ca
pable of expressing a wish like that,
however deeply he might hold it.
The abundant crops and reviving bus
iness are the destroying angels of the
Greenback party, and, In a measure,
of the Democratic party, too, for its
criminal alliance with the enemies of
finauciai stability aud generally pros
perity. In times of large of orops and
active business the vote of the party
in power is always increased. That Is
what worries the "calamity" states
men of all parties now. If. Y. Tri
bune. The pruning of grape-vines In the
summer is rarely attempted except by
professional growers, But it is a very
useful practice. It keeps tho vines
wilhiu bounds, prevents much useless
and wasteful growth which would
otherwise divert the strength of the
plant from the formation of fruit, and
greatly improves the quality of the
grapes. There 13 uoeeoret" about tho
method. With asharp pruniug-knife
(which has a curved blade) slash off
by aquick stroke the endsof the shoots
which are intended to bear fruit, leav
ing those intended to make wood to
grow on. If line fruit is desired, only
one bunch should be left on each spur
or shoot branoh ; if abundance u de
sired more than quality, two clusters
may be left. The ends of the shoots
may be pinched off with the finger
and thumb just as easily. N. Y.

Bwinbume sings, 'I uld my head In

did you? That was wise of you to
hide it among the rosea. Now if you
had covered it up in a nest of cabbages,
when you come to pick it out again,
you could not have told for the life of

A BAD RECORD.
Hoir a Democratic Marshal in Georgia
Transacts Business.
Fiizsimnious and His Peculiarly
Democratic Methods.
Special Correspondence of the Inter Ocean.
Savannah, Ga., July 30. I see
there is a prospect that the Confeder
ate Marshal of Georgia is to be inves
tigated. I know what the result will
be. He will be discovered to be the
biggest kind of a fraud. The pro
prietors of the- Constitution newspa
per made the bond for the Marshal.
They must'have known the modeB he
was pursuing to increase, the emolu
ments of his office. I have wondered
that they did not Interfere aud com
pel him to travel within the law in
hisgj&bbings. I understand his plea
for his peculiar charges I3 that his pre
decessors did the same thins charg
ing for guards never employed, for
miles never traveled, and for meals
never eaten. This article from the
Constitution, would seem to Imply
that they thiukj the place a good
oue :
Mosby has unearthed the fact that
there has been considerable stealing
at Hong Kong by tho United States
officials in the consulate. This exten
sive guerilla is apparently attempt
ing to make himself odious to the ad
ministration and to all good Republi
cans. He should have shown his de
votion to the principles of his party
byjbeginning to steal where his pred
ecessors left off.
It is barely possible, but not proba
ble, that FitzsJrnmous and bis back
ers thought that he could hpgin "to
steal where his predecessors left off,"
with impunity. I do not believe his
predecessor pursued the couree which
the Confederate Marshal adopted. I
think if any of his predecessors did
these things, it was away hack yonder
when the South ruled everywhere.
Let me give a few cases where the
Confederate Marshal
INCREASED HIS LAWFUL ALLOWANCE :
Samuel Evans, of Milledgeville, was
arrested for violating the revenue
laws. He had Walter Paine, a Mil
ledgeville official, and a clever young
man, go to Savannah as a witness in
his case. Evans did not need guard
ing, and had no guard ; but the
vouchers filed by the Marshal show
that there was a guard, and that his
name was Walter Paine, and the
Marshal collected $19 for Paine as
guard. Paine has filed an affidavit
setting forth the fact that vhe was a
witness and not a guard, and never
so acted.
Peter Meadows,' of Milledgeville,
was arrested'for illicit distilling. In
his case, L. J. Lamar, a deputy Uni
ted States marshal, ;ia put down on the
voucher, and charged for as a guard.
Lamar has filed oath that ho was
not a guard, and was never asked to
perform any such duty.
Jefferson Prescott, of Screven Coun
ty, was waited on by a deputy marsh
al, living in his vicinity, with a war
rant charging him with illicit distill
ing. Prescott swears that the deputy
asked him to meet him in Savannah
four days after, and that he came to
Savannah by himself at theappointed
time, and had to hunt around one
whole day before ho found a deputy
warranted to take him in charge.
He came by himself, wholly un
guarded ; but the vouchers show he
was accompanied by John McKInney
and John Smith, aa deputy marshals,
and H. Elkina as guard. Prescott
swears that it la seventy-five miles
from his place to Savannah. The
Marshal collected for 140 miles each
for the two marshals, guard and pris
oner. Jas. F. Chapman, of Wayne Coun
ty, Ga., was arrested by a deputy
marshal, at whose request Chapman
paid fare and expenses himself and
the witnesses to.be used by the prose
cution, and he has not yet got the
money back which he advanced for
his own prosecution.
R. D. Dixon, of Laurens County,
was arrested by the marshal, and in
vited to meet him In Savannah. He
started by himself, traveling to Macon
in bis own conveyance. AtMldville,
half way to Savannah, the deputy
marshal came aboard the same train,
and they came on down together.
No meals were furnished, nor was
Dixon in charge until he reached Sa
vannah, if he was more than nomin
ally in charge at all. Yet the vouch
er shows that the marshals, guards,
and meala were paid for, as In the oth
er cases.
Now, I respectfully submit, that if
Fitzsmmons intended to begin "to
steal where his predecessors left off,"
be is piling iton rather deep for anew
beginner. It seems to come too natural-like
for an acquired habit. I have
only given you a few cases, merely as
samples. The investigation, if It is as
thorough as I apprehend it will be,
will-show that Fitzslmmons' success
or will have his hands full If he be
gins to steal where the latter left off,
aud attempts to keep the offloe up to
the Confederate standard. I am not
done with this branch of the subject.
This will do for to-day.

SENATOR HOWE'S LETTER.
Opinions of tho Republican Press.
In addition to what we have al
ready published from the Omaha He
puljlican and other papers, showing
how Mr. Howe's recent letter is re
garded by the Republican press of the
State, generally, we find the follow
ing: Hon. Churoh Howe, of Nemaha
county, in reply to a written request
ofeomeofthe prominent Independ
ents of that county, has written a let
ter giving his reasons for rejoining
the ranks of the Republican party.
He reviewB the history of the two
great parties of the country. Demo
cratic and Republican, a'nd makes out
a strong case In favor of entrusting
the safety and prosperity of the na
tion. To the Republicans rather than
to the Democrats, or any new fan
gled party of visionary schemes and
wild and unmanageable hobbies.
Humboldt Sentinel.
The Beatrice Courier thinks that
Church Howe's letter contains "pret
ty good reasons" for his replighted
Republican faith.
Church Howe has had the hay seed
raked out of his hair, and the Crete
Union eayB the rebs. did it with their
states' rights machine.
The Plattsmouth Unterpriso pro
nounces Churoh Howe's letter "open,
sound, manly and sensible, just such
as might be expected from Senator
Howe."
In a two-column letter Church
Howe tells his old "purds" of the In
dependent party In Nemaha county
why he returned to the arms of the
Republican party. The principal rea
son, as we gather from his letter, was
that the Republican party needed
him. Beatrice Bxpress.
We publish to-day the letter of
Church Howe to his "Independent"
friends of Nemaha county, giving the
reason for his return to the ranks of
republicanism. The letter la coucise,
aud is a political dooument of no little
importance. Its iufluence must of ne
cessity be considerable, not only in
Nemaha county, but in the entire
Btate aa.well. The Hon. Church
Howe ha3 long been'recognized as one
of the ablest and most astute politi
cians in Nebraska, and republicanism
reoeives a noteworthy addition in his
return to the ranks. Omaha News.
Sheridan -Pos.- We publish the
Hon. ChurohjHowe's letter in expla
nation of his course in returning to
the Republican party, and we com
mend it to all as a letter worth read
ing and pondering. We welcome Mr.
Howe aud all those who followed him
in the Independent movement, back
to the party where we think they
ought always to have remained. One
thing we certainly admire in the
course of Mr. Howe he went out of
the party like a man, before the nom
inations were made, Instead of re
maining until after nominations were
made, and then bolting as did someof
the would-be leaders of thejiparty at
present In this county who now
would refuse to recognize Mr. Howeas
a Republican.
Nebraska City Press: The Press
has received a marked copy of the
Brownville Advertiser containing
a letter from the pen of Hon. Church
Howe setting forth his reasons for re
turning to the Republican party.
They are many and varied;
able and conclusive, Mr. Howe cells
why he and the. farmers of the rural,
districts organized, not against Re
publicans, not against the Democrats,
but to protect themselves. Having
acompliHhed great good locally and
destroyed a bonded indebtedness of
eighty thousand dollars, placing Ne
maha county upon as good, if not the
beat financial basis of anyiu the state,
he deems the present the right time
for the affairs of the general govern
ment to be cared for and given "the
Bame earnest attention and devotion
that we have given to local ones."
He argues upon the hypothesis that
there are but two parties Republican
and Democrat and that the latter
nearly bankrupted the government
by bad faith, aud secession; "has
been tried and found wanting," while
on the other hand "the Republican
party in eighteen years of power has
freed four million of people from sla
very; it bus put down the greatest
armed rebellion ever known ; Jt has
given to the whole people equal
rights, and guaranteed equal protec
tion ; it has forgiven them who were
in rebellion, and welcomed them back
to brotherhood and citizenehip ; it has
carried the country safely through
tiie crisis of bard times; it has re
duced the war debt one-fourth and re
funded it In 4 per cent, bonds, selling
them at par in gold ; it has made our
country respected and honored above
all other nations; it has made our
promises to pay as good as gold ; it
has given homes to the homeless and
land to the landless, and has brought
ua at laat into plain sight of peace,
plenty and prosperity."

How to Ilaro a IlorseJ Shod.
Probably there is no man In this
country whose advice about anything
pertaining to horses is of more value
than that of the Rev. W. H. H. Mur
ry. He ia widely known as a great
lover of horses and aa a studious ob
server of their habits, and whatever
he may have to eay injregard to their
treatment will be read with con
fidence. In a recent paper, which we
find published in the American Ag
riculturist, Mr. Murry attackB the
method usually adopted by blaok
sraiths in shoeing horses as needless
ly cruel, and In many cases seriously
Injurious. The nails, he says, should
be much smaller than than they are,
and should be driven In more gently
than la .custom. There Is no good
reason why the smith should strike a
blow at the nail with as muoh force
aa ha would deliver a blow at the
head of a spike in an oak
beam. A man who does not
wish to run the risk of permanently
laming his horae should Insist when
having him shod that the smith shall
drive the nalla slowly and steadily in
stead of using violence. Some horse
shoera go at their work as though it
were a matter of life and death to get
thefnails entirely set in at two blowB
of the hammer. With such work
there Is great danger of doing irrepar
able Injury to tho horse's foot, as, in
case the nail is badly pointed and geta
out of proper line of direotion, It la
likely to bo driven far Into the flesh
before the error ia discovered. In
clinching the nails gentleness should
also be exercised, and the smith
should never he allowed to touch the
outer surface of the hoof with a rasp,
for in that case the thin coat of enam
el, the object of which is to protect
tho inner membrane and fibre from
exposure to water and atmosphere,
would be destroyed with injurious re
sults. In short; Mr. Murrav advise3
that horses be shod just n9 human be
inga are, with a view to their comfort
and pretection, and he iusists that it
ia the duty of every person whoowna
or has the charge of a horse to Bee
that the smith who shoes him under
stands his business.
Tho Ancient Bow.
The ancient bow was the height of
the archer using it. The arrow was
half as long as the bow, and the force
needed to draw a fitting arrow to the
head on a bow six feet long was from
sixty to ninety pounds. Such an ar
row was called a "cloth-yard shaft,"
from the measure, a cloth yard, or
threo feet. Arrows were made of ash,
oak and yew, weight from twenty to
twenty-four pennyweights, were tip
ped with steel and feathered with
goose feathera. The stringa were of
plaited silk. The power of flight,
correctness of aim, and the penetra
tion of these missiles were prodigious.
In shooting matches 300 yarda was
the common range, and the ordinary
mark was a straight willow or hazel
rod, aB thick aa a man's thumb, and
five feet long; and such a mark a
good archer held it a shame to miss.
At 200 yards no armor but the best
Spanish or Milan steel plate oould re
sist the English arrow, and the le
gends of men and horses Bhot through
and through are proved by corslets of
the stoutest plate, preserved in sev
eral collections, where the shafts have
been driven through the breastplate
and the whole body of the wearer
and then through the steel back-plate,
not inferior in strength to the breast
plate. In shooting the bow was held
perpendicularly at arm's length, and
tho bowstring drawn back until the
arrow feathera were oppoaite the right
ear.

A dignitary of the Church waa din
ing out. Of the two iadiea between
whom he waa Beated the one on the
right-hand side waa an Intimate ac
quaintance, and noticing that her dis
tinguished neighbor was silent and
preoccupied, said to him, sotto voce:
"I am afraid you aro not very well
this evening; you do not seem in
your usual spirits." "Well," said the
dignitary, "Tarn in rather a nervous
state of mind about my health, and
have a Bort of presentiment that a se
rious illness is hanging over me. I
am conscioua of a peculiar numbness
all over my right side, which seems to
forbode an attack of paralysis." His
fair companion expressed her hope
that such feara were ill-founded.
"Ah, no,' he replied, "I'm afraid
there's no doubt of it, for I have been
pinching my right leg all dinner
time, and can elicit no responsive feel
ing whatever. The limb aeema quite
dead to all feeling." "Oh," exclaim
ed the lady, briskly, and with an ex
pression of intense relief on her face,
"if that is all which troubles you, I
think I can at once relieve your mind
from anxiety, for the leg you have
been pinching all the evening Is
mine."
