Sho was a highly dlsrepuln-blo-looklng cat, without any apparent regard for her personal nppoaranco.

Tho fur on her long, emaciated body polntod In all directions, ami there was a patch of red mud on the top of her Lend. She kept her eyes aimed strnlght through the Iron railings and nt every step that sounded on tho hot pavement sho loaned forward nud peered out-tlously out After a close survey of the person she shrank back again. Sho was evidently watching for somebody, but whether sho was shore by appointment or not ooujd not be learned. It was nearly 0 o'clook when acor- indent gentleman with a benevolent ace appeared at tho further end of the street and laboriously approached. Tho thumps of his oane on the pavo-ment sent out an echo that reached the ears of the cat and agitntad her strange ly.

Hor spine rose up in a bow, her tall puffed out, and hor ears polntod forward. Suddenly she sprang through tho Iron railings upon the sldownlk, ran purrlngly up to tho old gentleman, and rubbed up against his leg. The old gentleman was mightily astonished at this. Bless my soul, he exclaimed, and Is it you?" Tho cat purred afllrmatlvoly. We all thought you were lost," said the old gentleman.

Now, I guess you had hotter come homo and get cleaned up again. But I give you fair Warning," he shouted as he waved his cane, Ill drown every kitten. Then the old man turned about and went wheezing baok tho way ho came, with tho cat trotting and racing behind, alongside, and ahoad of him. New Yom Sun.

It is useless to try lo get auy kind of scr-vico, witiiout tipping, and many men go to tlio verge of liberality with the attendant. Decent "tippers" are evidently few and far between among El-lieron millionaires, for tho waiters have always complained.

Everyone who docs anything for yon at a Long Branch hotel expeels to bo tipped for it. A guest would soon find himself frozen out if ho neglects to lip, and It gols lo lie a rather serious ques-t on if one is trying lo spend a mouth or so lie.ro on a slond purse. The waiter is not tho only ono must bo tipped.

Ono of tho most beautiful things Is human nature Is charity, and a community that Is the most charitable, li tlio most lilcoly to go to the good place. There IT some appeal for charity almost ovory day, to assist tho pool either at homo or abroad, but the time is come whon thoro will be an appoa) tlmt will starllo the world. A class cl people that have boon lookod upon at among tlio ricbost, are liable to be holding out tbolr hands for aid. Thai class is tho manufacturers aud holdon of millions of barrels of whisky.

A groan comes from tho whisky centers that is enough to toucli tho hardost lioarts. The mauufaoture of Whisky has been ovordone, until there Is a supply on hand sufficient to last several years, if no more were made, and there is no sale for it. And yet the distillers keep on making whisky, in order to feed the slops to oxen. That is thoir excuso. They claim that the oxen must he fed, and so they go on making good corn Into pool whisky, in order to get the slops to fat-ton tho oxen.

Why tho corn In the original paoknge cannot bo fed to tho oxon, or why the oxon cannot bo turned out to grass, is not explained. Distillers who are involved up to their eyes, and who havo whisky enough on baud to make them rich, If they could sell it, keep on making more, and getting further in debt. It hurts them to see oxon eating raw corn, and wasting tho whisky that is in it. Nothing would cause a distiller to oommit suicide so quick os to see his corn disappearing, and no whisky coming forth. Though lie fed tho corn to oxen, and rich milk was produced, that would sell for more than the whisky, ho would not ho satisfied.

lie would mourn the loss of the whisky, which he knows was concealed about tho corn, but which can never bo utilized unless the corn goes through tho distillery before coming in contact with tho ox. Thoro can bo but ono result, in connection with tho over production of whisky. The distillers, and the men who have advanced monoy on an article for which there is no sale, must beg for broad They cannot turn tho whisky into money.

It's a mighty slfti'p old man who cun gi't ahead of a young eoupio who havo taken a nolion that Until' fill nro liu'ini'KS can only bo so I'liieil lie a iiiqi la! knot," said Henry Junliiu, of llilluilnlpliin.

On one of tlio most fashionable streets Is a big square, stone-front residence, standing away hack in tlio center of a spacious lawn. In this building resides one of the richest merchants of lhiladulpli.o, a flit, jolly old soul, who rather likes a bowl of good pimuli, and is partial to wlfist. His only living relative is a daughter, who Is a rather linndsoino rl and remarkably bright, but rather eocentriu in matters of dross.

Tho young lady is givcu ns much liberty as any oilier girl moving in good socioty, but her fatlior very properly keeps sharp lookout for ad-veutururs and fortune-hunters, and no man can huvo the plonsuro of hor company without tho old gentleman knows something of his nntucodonts. About a year ago a young friond of niino begad to pay attention to the heiress. Although working on a salary he had excellent prospects for thu future, and was a number one good fellow in every particular. Upon first acquaintance the young ladys father seemed to look upon liis visits with favor, and my friend was apparently in smooth waters, until at last it dawucd upon tlio old gentleman that his daughter was beginning to show a decided preference for Wilson as I shall call him and he grow eold and distant and finally wound up by writing Wilson a uute note, requesting him to discontinue bis visits, an it, nt tlio same timo, lie gave his daughter a hit of fatherly ad-vice in tlio same connection, and warned her nga list recognizing my young friond in an)' way. Wliv this sudden cliango in parental demeanor I could not, at.

that lime, The) rl, however, wits full of spir and being by this time deeply in love with Wilson tlio wili n' ng angered her, and, as the old man doubtless oxpoota 1 she would, met him in the park whenever sho had ail opp irluuily, and, as a i matter of opposition only strengthened their attachment. Them secret meet ngs went oil for some time and at last tlio young couple, both bo- ing of age, decided to settle tho matter by getting married. Wilsons prospects had been greatly improved, ids salary had been raisod, and he had been promised an interest in tlio concern for which he was working, so ho felt himself able to take care of a wife. They had laid all their plans and nil they lackod was a parson to tie the knot, when one day a cloricaldooking gentleman, approaohod them as they wero discussing matters in the park, and, handing them his card, offered his service, volunteering the explanation that he had accidentally overheard their conversation. Such enterprise on the part of a preacher looked rather suspicious, but the name on tlio card was that of the pastor of a very respectable congregation, so they decided to accept his offer.

In tho meantime the old gentloman had been suspiciously blind to all thnt was going on. Well, they prepared to make tlie jnmp last Tuesday night when the father hud gone to tho club, and about 10 oclock that evening the young lady slipped out by a sido door and made bur way to the street, wlmro a coupe and Wilson were wailing for her- They drove directly to tlio ministers rosl-denco, and wero ushered into a private parlor, wliero, tho elargyman awaited them. IIo at onco asked where were tbeir witnesses. That staggered them. It hadnt occurred to thorn that, witnesses wero necessary.

Oh, well, never mind," said he, 'an old friend of mine called upon me this evening, and I can call him and my wife in to act in that capacity. He left the room and returned in few minutos with his wiio and the old gentleman, whom the young lady immediately recognized as her father. The would-be bride was getting ready to faint, but tlio temporary weakness was checked by tlm romarkabl) actions of her father. Tlio old sinner sat down in a ohair and laughed and laughed until he was purple, and then lie would blow a little and laugh again, until they began to think bo was going into hysterics. The young peoplo, however, failed to see tho joke.

Finally the old man recovered hlmsolf and made a little speech to the br do amt groom. You youngsters, he said, thought you wero play. ng It mighty smart, but you didn't know tlmt mo and the parson bore had been keeping an eye on you all the time. Now, young follow, I want to tell you something. I have found out a great deal about you, and believe you aro worthy the hand of any woman, and I merely come here tonight, although nbt invited by you, as I should havo been, to take a hand in this affair, and now yon can go ahead with the ceremony.

I only wanted to show you that in future you had better let the old man in on the ground floor when anything like this Is going on. I have since learned that the old gentleman had heard some hard stories about Wilson, which caused hUn to so suddenly turn against him, and finding out afterward that thoy worn untrue and that the young man was in every way worthy of bis daughters hand, he conoluded to let matters take their own course." where whisky never eutors.

If it be said that literary people must live, and that literature is a precarious means of support, the obvious reply would be that nil means of income avo precarious, and literature no more so than the rest.

Wlmtevor employment one ohooses, he must take the risk of failure in it. Many a lawyer has literally almost no clien ts; many a physician has hardly any patients; and why should a writer expeot to bo moro secure? IPs possible prizes In money nro not so great as the lawyers probably, but they are greater than those of the physician or the clergyman; and the blanks are bt on tho whole, than in either of 'these occupations. I have known mon of all these professions who were absolutely unemployed. A lawyer of unusual attainments, returning in middlo life to the home of his youth, told me that for one yenr he hnd not a single client, great or small; he did not so much as draw a will or deed. I have never known a dooently equipped literary man or woman to be left thus hopelessly stranded; there was always something to bo earned, even at a low prioe.

Apparently the bitterest of these complaints emanate from literary men in large cities who live face to face with the vast sueocsses of the stock exchange, and cannot be satisfied so long as the nation does not furnish them with corresponding incomes. They do not recognize that perhaps it Is poverty which has drawn out of them whatever approaoh to genius they have shown; ana that, If they gained the millions whloh tney seem to themselves to deserve, perhaps the genius might vanish, like the song of a canary which is fed too well. in Harper' Bo tar.

It is a question that requires a great head to solve, and it is possible there should bo a new cabinet officer, whose duty it should be to regulate whisky. It of men who wait while he is being ba3 been supposed that when a demo-served. cralio administration came in, tho accumulated whisky would be exhausted, but it don't seem to make any difference. Republicans carried the idea that the overproduction of whisky was owing to the fact that democrats had been out of power so long that they did not have monoy enough to buy whisky. Many distillers voted the democratic ticket on business grounds, hoping a cliango in administration would create a boom lu whisky.

What was their disgust to see the domecratio president go to work and deliberately appoint sober men to office. This was too much, and it has been discovered that something else must bo dopended on to start the whisky barrel to rolling. In the meantime, people who are asked to subscribe money to keep millionaire whisky dealers from the poor bouse, should como down liberally. And the prohibitionists should be choked off till the whisky on hand is disposed of. This is no time for prohibition.
