A PHOTOGRAPHER'S TRIALS.
Extravagant Demands on His Skill, Pa-
tlene,o and Good Nature.
A photographer meets with many
strange characters and is a witness of
-
many curious incidents. In a recent in-
formal talk before the Society of Amateur
Photographers, Abraham Bogardus, the
• veteran photographer, told a number of
amusing stories of incidents that hap-
pened to him in the course of his forty-
one years' experience in the studio and
dark room, He prefaced his talk with a
few sarcastic remarks regarding young
men who write long screeds in photo-
graphic papers on how to take photo-
graphs, whom the experiences of a single
day "under the skylight" would cause
them to wish they had never been born.
He then went on to speak of the un-
reasonable demands which many sitters
make. .

ON TIME STAIRWAY.
Alone on the stairway we sat that night,
While the music throbbed mei lieu,
Anil the hum of voices and laughter light
Vitiated round us on every side.
The strains of that waltz «•ere bewitchingly sweet
As they rose and fell on tho air;
In a dreamy fashion the tilno she beat
With her slippered foot on the stair.
6h0 played with her fan, she lifted her eyes,
She pulled her red roses apart,
She looked up amazed in a sweet surprise
When I laid ather feet my heart, •
'Twas a bold and a daring thing to d0,
Iut she seemed to tike it well,
And, besides, 'twas rare good fortune to woo
The ballroom's reigning belle.
I eau see thoso oyes so dark and bright,
I can feel that self same thrill
That shook 'no from bead to foot that night
When two lips said softly, "I will."
Ah, there she goes noW 1n that shimmering gown
And tho silky, yellow hair.
Yes, she jilted me for a man in town
Who is three times amillionaire.

Looking for Her Pocket.
"I see you have been poking fun at
women's pockets," said. a lady friend to
tho Stroller. "I am glad of it. Why, it
has got so now that a woman has to get
out a search warrant to fincl the pocket
in a dress when it comes home from the
dressmaker. We had a funny case in
point in our women's missionary meeting
at the church. Tho leader of the meeting
had just finished reading a most affect-
ing appeal from our lady missionary in
Caffraria, and there was a solemn pause
of expectant attention till some sister
should feel moved to speak. Presently
a white haired old lady—a mother in
Israel—rose slowly and feebly to her
feet. All eyes were turned upon her,
and wo waited to see whether she wished
to make a few remarks or lead in prayer.
One hand, incased in its wrinkled black
kid glove, went fumbling and groping
among the folds of her skirt. After a
long pause she drew out a clean hand-
kerchief still in its folds,. and then with
an air of relief, slowly sat down again.
She had only risen to find her pocket."—
