The detective sneered. Mr. John

“Yes, you’ve got me,” said lie.
“I don’t deny that. But as for your
checks, I’ve uo more idea what- you
are talking about than a man In
the moon!”'
By tliiatime there was a general
commotion in the balcony and par
lor. Mrs. Parker Penhurst drew
her silkeu skirts away trom the vi
cinity of the suspected man.
“Dear, dear, how dreadful!” cried
she, with aa * etovatton of her eye
brows. “But, if you’ll remember,
Mrs. -Hennery, I never had any
faith in him. I always bade you
beware of men with that peculiar
shade of reddish-brown hair and
eyes!”
“And he’s turned out a villian
and A forger!” squeaked Miss Eliza
Grimes, with a little hysterical
catch in her throat. “How glad 1
tin I always repelled his attentions!
i ain fre., now, to confess that I
tever could bear the man!”
But little Clara Hennery, fling
ing aside the pile of uuiuended lire

“He is not guilty!’Vshe cried. “I
know he isn’t guilty. Pd stake ray

And she clasped his inn tightly
witli both her dimpled han Is, look
ing up the-while with great, star
tled eyes, like those of a trightened

.“Clara, you’re a little trfiinp!”
safEl Mr. John Smith, but without
emotion. “My friends,” to the two
detective officers, “you’ve made an
egregious blunder, and—”
“I begin. to ' believe we have,”
said the younger of the two men,
consulting a bit of writing-paper.
“Our man was two inches shorter,
and had a mole on the left side of
the nose. It Was . John Smith,
though, of 202 Lebanon street—”.
•M’his is 222,”- shrilly, interrupted
the landlady. “Old number 202,
but the number is changed -since—”
“Exaetly,”-»aid. the officer. “Sir,”
to Mr. Smith,’“I ask your pardon
fora niistake.which, however mor
tifying to you, must be still more
so to outeelves:”- ’ - - ’< ■
“Pard m’s • granted,” said Mr-
Smith. ;
And Clara Hennery began to cry
Mild tremble, after her soft, girlish
-fashion.
“Oh, dear! dear!” faltered she,
“what have I said? Please, Mr.
Smith, don’t remember it, now
that—”. ■
“But I shall remember it,” said Mr.
Smith, valiantly holding her only
the tighter the more she struggled to
escape.
Clara Hennery- is “Mrs. John-
Siiiith” now. Miss Grimes says that
nothing could induce her to bear so
common a patronymic. Mrs. Par
ker Penhurst declares she prefers
herowp nomenclature.

The following is the dosing por

Chas. Lane to the Baptist congre

on a bed of withered leaves. • The

as tenderly as though a woman’s
sympathy had touched it in tv pite

by analmoHt innumerable spiritual
multitude. The four seasons ar
there. The twelve mouths are
there. The fifty-two weeks are
there. The three hundred and six
ty-five days are there. The three
hundred and sixty-five nights are
there. Nearly nine thousand hours
are there. More than one-half mil
lion of minutes are there. And
nore than thirty million sec
onds are there. The seasons are
distinguished by the varied color of
their robes—white, green, yellow
and purple; The months have a
fillet of net work on every fore
head, adorned with a crescent of
shining pearls.
The weeks wear a seven-hued
girdle with a bridiant clasp, adorn

There is the inheritance which is
incorruptible, undefiled, and that

that is their hope, that is our only-

“I cannot, indeed, he proceeds,

retain its ixiwers or lose them;

What Handwriting Reveals.
iota little more then

place of reward,
Handwriting undoubtedly reveals
more of the character and attain
ments of its possessor than any
other attainment.
judgment is manifest in the form
and proportions of the writing, taste
in the style, choice of paper, ink,
etc., care and neatness in the ar
rangement, folding, superscripton
and stamp, manual dexterity in the
quality of line, and grace and rapidi
ty of motion. A skilled and discern
ning reader, as it. were, reads a cor
respondent in his writing and com
position, and is enabled, as a rule,
to form an opinion more- just- and
reliable than from a personal inter
view. A person may speak correct
ly and yet he unable to compose and
write a single sentence without
betraying an utter ignorance of
grammar, orthography and general
literary attainment.
Adult writing is the out-growth
of years of practice and habit, into
which has become incorpora
ted numberless personal peculiari
ties which render each different
handwriting as distinctive from
any other as are the characters,
feces and personal mien of the
different writers. Persons odd and
eccentric in their character general
ly develop style of writing equally
odd and eccentric. This is done
quite unconsciously to the writer, so
much so, that it is well night im
possible that such peculiarities can
be avoided by those who would seek
to suddenly alter or disguise their
writing. If is quite obvious that an
habitual peculiarity that is unnotic
ed can not be dispensed with. No
one can go around to avoid stum
bling into an undiscovered hole,
nor can one attempting to simulate
the writing of another, note and
comprehend se as to reproduce per
fectly. alt : the numberless personal
peculiarities therein . contained,
even if his own "habitual peculiari
ties could be avoided.
It is on this principle that scientif
ic examination of the handwriting
is usually conducted.
In courts of justice handwriting
is brought in question in a variety
of forms, and different forms re
quire different methods for detec
tion and proof. In some instances
the work is 90 skillfully done as to
well night defy detect ton; others so
clumsilyand of such a character as
to he at dnee apparent to a skilled
discerner.

“Why, I’d like to- know,” said
lady once to a distinguished judge,
“cannot a woman become a success
ful lawyer?” “It simply arises from
her invariable habit of giving J>er
opinion without any pay,” answer

Why The Church Din’t Prosper—
A New York clergyman went to
Boston and visited a colored church.
••How are you prospering?” he ask
ed the sexton. “Things ain’t so
good as dey was, boss,” was the re
ply. “We got a new minister, and
he ain’t so good as de old one.”
“What’s the matter with him?’
“Well, boss, you see, he’s kind o f
illiterate—comes from New York.”
A Young gentleman speaking of
a young beauty’s fashionable yel
lowish hair, called it pure gold. “It
ought to be,” quoth his companion;
“it looks like 24 carrots.”
The Boy Hit It—“Father, you
are an awful brave man,” said a
Detroit youth as he smoothed down
Ihe old man’s grey locks the ctlu-r
evening. “How do you know that,
iI1l ~ Willie ?“Oh,I heard some men down
at the store say that you killed
thousands of soldiers during the
war.’’. “Me! Why, I was beef con
tractor for the army!” Yes, that’s
what they said!” explained you g
innocence as he slid for the kitchen.
* Dad, were you ever a fish ? ’ The
individual thus addressed lowered
iiis chin and gazed over his specta
cles at the boy in speechless as
tonishment. “Oil, don’r get m td at
me, dad, for a-king you,” continued
his inquisitive offspring. “.Mrs.
f’ooly came in after you had eone
yesterday, and asked what she
would do if you were dead, and ma
laughed and said she guessed there
was as good salmon in the sea as
you are.”
A Parisian wit, meeting with a
friend, 'remarks, “What beautiful
shoes! Where did you get them?
How much did you pay for them ?
“Fifteen francs."—“Fifteen francs!
That’s very cheap, considering how
much calf there is in them.”
When an Austin schoolmaster
•ntered his temple of learnitig.a few
mornings ago, lie read on the black
board the touching legend—“Our
teacher is a donkey.” Tiie pupils
•xpected there would be a combined
yclonc and earthquake, but tlie
philosophic pedagogue contented
himself with adding the word
“driver,” and opened the .school
with prayer as usual.
“My friend,” said the keep'er of
a hotel to an over-voracious hoarder,
.‘you eat so much that I shall have
to charge you an extra half dollar.”
“An extra half dollar?” replied his
boarder, with his countenance the
very picture of pain: “For goodness
sake don’t do that; I’m most dead
now eating three dollars worth:
and if you put on an extra half dol
lar, I shall certainly bust—I shall;’’
Teacher—“If two boys should
I find ten apples under a tree, how
many Would each hoy have?”
Bright scholar—“That would depend
upon whether the one that could
lick was apple-hungry or not.”
Ann Eliza writes to ask why a
poor man invariably keeps dogs
We have not given the question
much consideration, but we have
concluded that the poor man sup
ports a dog to keep “the wolf from
