Ttie faded Adonis of 50 has found th <
Uousual ! heats of the season ttiis yeai
tell upon him severely. Until th
middle of June he bore up bravely ; bui
the two or three weeks of warmth ant
sunshine which then supervened wer <
.too much , and ho sighs for Buxton 01
pants for Jlomburg. It may bo that ii
he takes sedulous care of himself ho will
for several seasons remain fairly per
sonable ; but just now he does as un
wisely in showing himself in his club erin
in the park in the gaudy glare of the
day , as mature matrons , whoso com
plexions are indebted even more to arl
than nature , do in failing to seek sub
dued lights , or in lingering at festive
gatherings till the last saraband has
been danced in the hall.
Twenty years ago the male beauty ,
who is tp-dzty in a state of temporary
prostration , was a remarkably handsome
man. His way with women was what
novelists call caressing. His conversa
tion was made up of insipidities , but
they were uttered in a tone which was
deferential and winning. Scarcely a
trace of these attributes remains. The
slayeiof hearts has not acquired the
mellow dignity which age ought to
bring ; he has only substituted for his
old charm of talk and manner a feeble
ness and incoherence which are sugges
tive of incipient paralysis. 'Something
of its pristine shape is retained by the
figure , thanks to the cunning arrange
ments of the man millinery of the
period. But the young exquisite has
not blossomed into the old buck. The
constitutional indisposition or ability to
accept the doom of years has generated
an air of nerveless vacillation as of
one who cannot brace himself to take
the plunge , and stands pitiably shiver
ing on the brink of age without being
able to retreat to the pleasant swards of
youth. An attitude , physical in its or
igin , has become moral in its effects.
It is painful and ludicrous to witness
the convulsive efforts , which seem to
have a touch of epilepsy in them , made
by the faded male beauty to assume his
old place in society and to ply his van
ished arts. No one would grudge him
the sort of success that occasionally
waits upon his efforts. He induces a
widow of quality to accompany him to
the altar , or he imposes upon the
credulity of the proprietress of a less
experienced heart. The relics of heavy
swelldom have their marketable value ,
and it is lucky for the gentleman to
whom they constitute their sole capital
and stock-in-trado that the stuttering
imbecility which years have brought is
not always regarded as a disqualifica
tion.
She Understood Politics.
[ The Judge. ]
"Now , let me see if I understand this
presidential election in Chicago , " said a
blushing bride at Niagara to her spouse ,
as they gazed at the Niagara falls , after
they had enriched the hackmau for life :
"Blaine and Cleveland were chosen ,
were they not , my deary pet ? " '
"They were nominated at Chicago , my
sweety sweet not elected. "
"When will they be elected , myange
love ? "
"Only one of them will be elected ,
dove. "
"Then why were they both nominated
at Chicago , iny petty pet ? "
"You see , my dear , one is a Democrat
and the other is a Republican. "
"Then what is the use of having two
men nominated at Chicago if they can't
both be elected ? I know there are al
ways two men on the ticket. There
were Tilden and Hondricks and Hayes
and "Wheeler. Pa told mo so. "
"Yes ; but you must understand that
there is a vice president. "
"Oh , my darling of darlings ! " ex
claimed the bride , reproaching herself
for her doubts ; "I see it all now. Cleve
land is to be president and Mr. Blaine
vice-president.
Then the husband mortgaged a farm
of his and took his bride for a drive to
Whirlpool Rapids in a hack.
Novel Use of a Tombstone.
[ Exchange. ]
A Providence , E. L , lady went into a
market one day recently and called for
corned beef. The market-man took the
stone for holding the meat down in the
brine from the barrel , and laying out
two or three pieces of beef for her ex
amination , turned to wait upon another
customer. While he was thus engaged
her eye fell upon the stone that the mar
ket-man had taken from the barrel , and
she read :
Susan .
Died , 1849 ,
Aged 8 months.
The beef in the barrel had no further
attraction for her , and with a remark
that expressed to the market-man the
horror she felt at the use to which thu
stone was applied , she left the store. As
she went out he remarked : "I don't
generally keep that on beef ; it belongs
m the pork-barrel. "
Tlio Same Everywhere.

[ Chronicle ]
I suppose something of the working of
civilization should be noticed in chil
dren. But it is not. The children ot
all periods , all classes , all races , betray
the same original tastes. Their amuse
ments have varied but little ; they have
everywhere a tendency to play ball , to
break things , to tease one another , to
make mud-pies and revel in sand , to
tear their clothes , and there has been ,
so far as records go , no time or place in
the history of the world when they have
behaved any differently from what they
'
do to-day. It would seem that luumiu
nature is a simple thing enough us it has
been created , and civilization is merely
a lot of complications produced by men.
A More Appropriate Name.

"Will yon have some of the dessert ,
Mr. Dnmley ? " inquired the landlady.
Dumley politely allowed that he
would.
"Do you know , " he remarked , as ha
guzed at the very narrow little piece of
whortleberry pie which was sent him ,
"that I would hardly call this a dessert. "
"No. what would you call it ? " she de
manded.
"An oasis. "
In India cats are sometimes attacked

thority , and may communicate the dia
