He was poor as to money, but had the wealth of a good and strong constitu tion, and able and willing hands to work. He was blest withagood mind, and fall of energy and industry. Sit ting-in his lap wss his little son,who had not numbered his first twelve months. The young mother was busy with her needle. Just then a knock was heard at the front door, and a cor dial and free invitation was given to come in. A neighbor, thought the young couple. But much to their alarm in walked Death. Fixing his eyes upon the yonng man, he said, in an authoritive manner: “Young man, I have come for you and shall make you a citizen of my silent kingdom.” “Have mercy!” exclaimed the young man. “You have mistaken the house, and certainly must have come for my old rich neighbor, whom you have permitted to jouruey on life’s course, over his three-score years and teD. Go, take him, and spare me.” “I make no mistakes. I came for you. I respect neither age, circum stances norconditions. Come, go!” Said the young man, in terror and despair: “Let me reason with you! Let me plead my cause! Hear my petition for a longer life.” ' Death said: “Speak on, and let me hear your case. I do sometimes relent, for a sea son, at least.” Said tbe young man: “In the first place, I think you have come soon for me. I have just started, and there you see my young wife and here in my lap eur little babe. Would you make her a widow so soon, and my child fatherless! Who will take care of them if you take me away ? Besides, here is my little home I have just bought; my prospects in life are fair and inviting—would you blight them all in a moment? I am young, you see, strong and healthy, and I thought I had a good many years yet ahead of me; are my hopes to be thus soon blasted ? Let me live to mature my plans, and see-my boy grow up to man’s estate, so that he will be able to take care of his mother; and the last, but not least reason I have is this: I have not made that prepara tion: I should have made for so import ant a journey as you would send me on. I have neglected my soul’s great interest, in looking at, and thinking of my temporal. I am not prepared for you, O, Death! Neither to meet my Creator.” Death arose'from his seat and said: “Young man, you have stated your case and condition fairly and with good reason; I will leave this time without you; but mark me well, I will return at some future day, but will hear no reasons—you must then go. But before I come again, I will send you three messengers; each will tell you i am coming—take care that you heed them.” “I will! I will!” exclaimed the young man, “and thank you for your kindness in going, and your gener ous consideration in sending me no tice." Time rolled on. The young man grew to middle age, and in time old age came upon him. His life had been a success so far as the accumulation of wealth and comfort and luxu ries was concerned. Affluence, chil dren and grandchildren had blessed his declining years. One pleasant evening, sitting at his ease and comfort in his elegant home, with a little grandson playing about him, he heard a ring at tbe door bell. Too old and stiff to go tq the door, he called the visitor to come in. In step ped Death. ‘What!” exclaimed the old man, “come so soon?” Yes,” answered Death, who, eye ing his old acquaintance, added: “I have come for you, as I promised.” “Promised!” said the old man. “Yes, you promised to send me three messengers before you yourself would come in person, and I have not seen one of them.” I sent them,” said Death, “and if you did not heed them, it was not my fault” “When did you send your messen gers, for I have not the faintest recol lection of their coming?” rejoined the olennan. I sent them,” answered Death; “and if they came quietly and gently reminded you in looks and touches, you should have heeded their silent yet expressive admonitions.” “Explain yourself,” said the old man; “for I do not understand. You talk in riddles or fables.” “Easily enough done,” said death. “When I first came, you were a young man; your hair was black as a raven's wing—nowit is gray, and your locks are thinned by age. That was my first messenger- Those eyes of yours were bright and undimmed by age; now I see you use glasses to aid your failing sight. That was my sec ond messenger. That form of yours was stout, strong, unbent by years; now you totter as you walk and lean upon your cane for support. That was mv third messenger. Your babe, whom I saw in your lap, has grown to man’s estate, and is himself a father, and your grandchildren remind you that your years have not been few.” “But hear me,” said the old man, “what you have said is very true; but ter for so long a time, tbe fault is yours, not mine. I warned you, but you heeded not; you must now go, prepared or unprepared, and the con sequences be upon your own immortal soul. Come,” and laying his cold band upon the old man, bis soul de parted. Reader, how are you acting in this matter? Have you seen > or felt the touches of any of the messengers? The Lady and the Terror. One of the delightful days of last week a young lady well known in the exclusive first circles of San Francisco society for unrivaled personal charms and elegance of accomplishments, was driven around to make a congratula tory call upon a married lady >friend who was happily convalescing from that occasional sacred event In the lives of wedded ladies, which, far from being sickness, is the perfect culmina tion of their health. She was shown into the parlor, and for the few min utes required to arrange for the recep tion in that room where mother and child were doiDg as well as could be expected, was left with no other to en tertain her than the only son and heir of the house, Master Charles, then in his Mirth year. But Charlie was ful ly equal to the situation, and promised to grow up into an.ornament of socie ty that will never be abashed by beau ty, however brilliant, into the painful negative of “no conversation.” After some unessential preliminary re marks, Master Charles approached nearer the visitor and, lowering his voice to a confidential tone, asked: “Miss , oo dot a baby?” The young lady gave one swift glance around to assure herself there was no other hearer of this pertinent question, and replied: “No, Charlie, dear, I have not.” “And did oo never have a baby ?” In spite of the youth of her eager interlocutor her handsome eyes droop ed before bis ingenuous gaze and her pretty face flushed as she replied: “No, Charlie, I never did. Is not this a beautiful day?” “And ain't oo never doin’t to have no baby ?” persisted Charlie, declining to enter on the tempting conversation al side track of the weather. “My boy, I can’t tell. Tell me all the names of whom those are the pho- r tographs.” “And don’t oo want a baby?” “Why, Charlie, what a close ques tioner you are. If you are not careful you will grow into one of those news paper interviewers, and then what will your poor mamma think of you?” l “Because,” continued Charlie, utx terly refusing to be switched off, “i know where oo tan det one. The doc tor brought 7ny mamma one, and he keepth them in his offith. You juth do down Ellith threet to Market threet; and den oo do down Martet threet td Tarney threet, and den oo do dowfi Tarney threet over tho far, and defi oo do up a lot of thairth and tliath where he teeps ’em. And they’re awful Cheap, too. My papa bathn’t paid for my mamma’s yet, but heth doin’t too.” “Well, Charlie, I’m sure I’m much obliged to you for your full directions} and I’ll know just where to go.” “Oh, Mith , oo needn’t do. I’ll tell my papa juth ath thoon ath ever he turns home that oo want a baby, and he’ll det one for oo, and—” That young lady seized that little boy by his two shoulders, and, lean ing over so as to look full into his eyes she said, with an impressiveness lent by sudden terror: “See here, Charlie, listen to me. I don’t want any baby, and if you ever say anything about it to your papa I'll never like you any more at all, at all, never, never. Now, will you promise?” “Well, if oo don’t want a baby I won’t, but I t’ot everybody liked to have babieth. I do.” The interview was here terminated by the entrance of a servant to usher the visitor into the presence of the convalescent lady. He Was Cool. Merchant Traveler.] There bad been a row in a Western t town, and after a great deal of promis cuous shading Jim Jackson, a noted ji tough, was killed and the fun stopped. Arrests were made, and the partici pants brought before the court. When Joe Duff, oDe of the principal witness es, took the staDd, a young lawyer tackled him. - “Your name is Duff, I believe,” he '.said, after a little skirmishing around ^the edges. “That what they call me,’’answered Joe. “You were in this row?” “In course. Yer don’t spose I’m losin’any chances fur fun, does yer? I hain’t missed one in ten years in this town unless I happened to beoverthe . river participatin' in somethin uv the sort on thet side.”* “Did you see this man, Jackson, shoot at any one?” “Yes.” “Was it early in the difficulty?” “Well, I never knowed Jim to wait for iuterductionsina case uvemergen- ’ cy.” “Did he appear to be agitated when you first saw him ?” 'No more’n you’d be in charging a man $10 for 15 cents’ worth o’ work.” “Don’t be personal, sir. I want to know if Jackson was also cool in the latter portion of the trouble?” Yer betcher life he wus cool: Ha was dead—colder’n a Sunday roast on a wash day.” 'I lie witness was ordered to step down. The Commercial Traveler and the Dram Drinker. Chicago Herald.] “I’ve always made it a rule,” said a Chicago commercial traveler, who had just come in from an extended tour through the far West, “to be polite and civil to every one I meet while on the road. It pays in tbe long run aDd saves a heap of trouble. But sometimes it is pretty rough on one’s pride, and the sacrifices a fellow has to make in behalf of peace and good will are frightfully galling. About three weeks ago I was in Globe, A. T. With another commercial traveler I visited a notorious saloon in the town about which I had heard a good deal. We went in out of pure curiosity, and going up to tbe bar, called for drinks. A rough looking man was standing next to the wall, about 15 feet away. He saDg out in a very unpleasant voice; “ ’I say stranger, ain’t ye goin’ to invite me ter drink with yer?’ “Not happening to feel very gener ous, or like being imposed upon, I said,‘No,’and my friend and I raised our glasses to our lips. Instantly a pistol report was heard—a good loud one, too—which naturally start led me and caused me to suspend drinking operations until I could re cover from my astonishment. When I looked at my glass I found no liquor in it, but it was cracked and perforat- my cares and business affairs have j ed. A bullet bad gone through it. been so great that I have neglected to . “ ‘Partender,’ said I, 'give me an- make preparation for so important and j other glass , of whisky.

My hand was not more than tor and^Yudfeir j oft ilotr/ Give me a three inches from the top of Die bar little more time—just a few yeare j when there was another pistol %hot» up, and I called for a third glass. X was frightened nearly out of my boots, and expected to get killed at the next shot; bat I was.mad, and kept oa calling for the glasses until no ieea than five had been broken in my hand. On the sixth i felt a Sharp^pang in one of my fir.gers. I looked*,-and saw that the ballet had plowed** furrow half its diameter across the top‘of my forefinger. But the glass-was sound, and the liquor in it. I raised ths glass with a triumphant flouriah to ward the sharpshooter and drank tbs liquer. He came right np to ne, held out his hand and exclaimed;. “ ‘That’s on me, pard. I psy for all them drinks, an’ now take another with me. That’s the first time in s coon’s age I’ve missed a glass, though it mought be that I’ve hurt some o’ the boy’s hands a leetle. You’s the first man thet ever held up more’n two glasses on me. The first shot gen’rally makes ’em weaken. I like yer nerve, young man. Let’s hev suthin' more on me.’ «. “This fellow, who was one of tho most wonderful sharpshooters I ever saw, practiced that sort of target work every day, they told me. It was his regular amusement. Ninety-nins times out of a hundred he got his drinks for nothing, but whenever ho missed a glass or wounded s man ho * paid for the drinks himself and did the square thing all around. During the remainder of my stay in Globe ho treated me first-class, and you can bet that other people did, too, when he i was with me. That man has had big offers to come East and shoot in pub lic, but he prefers staying out there, living off his share in a mine and amusing himself shooting between i fingers at whiskey glasses.” The man who takes so many other papers that he can’t afford to take bis home paper, was in town this week. Some day he will meet with a misfor tune, or some of his family will die, or suffer loss in some way, and he will think the paper ought to make mention of his loss. The papers he takesare pub lished away from his home, the pub lishers of which neither know^him nor care for him enough to mention any loss he may sustain, unless it would be unusual, which its readers might be interested in. When such a man drops out of the community, nobody but his immediate family misses him, and tbe world wags on as though be . had never lived in it .— ’Delphi (Ind.) Times. A girl’s taste differs according to her age. At sixteen she wants a dude with toothpick ;oes and a micro scopic mustache; -.t twenty a chief jus tice with piles of tin; at twenty-five she will be satisfied with a member ef Congress; at thirty, a country doctor, preacher or lawyer will do; at thirty- five, an itinerant tinker; over thirty- five, anything so it’s a man, from an editor up. Here is the way in which an Idaho editor does up a brothersome contem porary : “We shall not cease our as saults until tbe thin mantle of quasi- respectability is torn from his shoul ders, revealing him as he really is— reeking with corruption, morally lep rous, sin-stained, debased, despised, abhorred, abominated, detested, scof fed at, reviled as a liar and a sneak. An inquirer asked what he should do with a horse that wss troubled with periodical dizziness, and the edi tor answered iu these words: “Our advice would be to take the hqrse some day when he is not dizzy and' sell him to a stranger.” A little boy who had just returned from his visit to a farm gave this des cription of butter making: “You ought to just see how auntie makes butter with a barrel and a broomstick!” A little girl was saying her prayers tbe other evening and had just fin ished “Give us this day our daily bread,” when her little four-yaar Mother Baid, “Make it pie, sis.” more, will you not?” - “No,” answered Death; “if you 'have toiled to attend toio great a mat- The glass was shattered into a dozen pietes.
