New Year's Day—Yong Mr. Steady and young Mr. Easy go out to visit. They arrive at the Misses Browns' hospitable mansion, and are re- eeived by the ladies, compliments of the season having been exchanged. let Miss Brown.—Will you take wine or coffee,Mr. Easy ? Mr. Easy.—Wine,- by all means. (Drinks.) To -day, when one expects to visit successively so many charming women, it is necessary to be able to say something, the wine furnishes the requi site inspiration. Miss Brown.—And you, Mr. Steady ? Do you wish inspiration ? Mr. Steady.—Coffee for me; please. No, I do not—of that sort. I, find in the presence my friend has referred to all the`inspiration my duller nature is capable of receiving. (Drinks.) Both gentlemen leave and the Browns agree that Steady has something in him. The gentlemen pass on their rounds, and Mr. Easy soon begins to. feel that he has. They call at Mr. Jones's. The ladies to the front as usual. ' Miss Jones. —Coffee, tea, wine, punch, gentlemen ? How- rosy the cold. air has made your face, Mr. Easy ! Mr. Steady's, not at all affected by it. Mr. Easy.—I'll take a little punch, if you please. Oh, our faces are not so different as you imagine ; it's only that Steady's of. a different metal—he's at white heat already. (Drinks.) This is the thing. Wine is the dull element of ordinary life; but punah-adds the ex- hilar-ar-ar (Some difficulty in getting out the big word( ar-ation. Yes, .punch supplies 'zilaration. (Sits down.) Mr. Steady.—A little tea for me, please, )Takes tea.) No, I can't ac- cept my friend's metallic metaphor. I'm merely unimpressionable to the weather. I'm getting to be a case-har- dened, unfeeling old bachelor. (He's just twenty.) Mrs. Jones.—(There are five Miss Jcnes's)—There are remedies for that, Mr. Steady: .(General applause and the gentlemen leave.) .A few more houses have been• visited, they appear at Mrs. White's. Compli- ments pass, refreshments offered as usual. Mr. Easy.—(Whose apparel is not im- proved in pattern or variegation by a stumble on the splashy sidewalk. N. B. -It was entirely the cabman's fault.) —lush leash taste pure whish-whish- whisksh, . please. Belongsh t'party puritysh. (Goes to sit down, but sits on floor.) Begsh pardnsh. Slight re- fraction visionsh. (Staggers up and sits on sofa.) - Mrs. White,—)Who does not like it.) —The party of purity were turned out, Mr. Easy. Mr. Steady, l'm glad to see you in your usual. pleasant and unruf- fled condition. Mr. Steady.—But I am ruffled. Cab- man gave us quite a jerk. I think Easy hit his head against the lamp -post. (True, but it wasn't that.) I must get home. (Which he succeededin doing after some protests from Mr. Easy that - he won't go home till morningsh, till daylight .pearsh.) Mr. White.—(Banker, and unluckily for Easy, employer of both)—I am sorry for young Easy. Though an excellent accountant, and showing promise of good qualities, this weakness will to- tally unfit' him. Of course he may re- form ; but I cannot give him the pro- motion I intended.' steady is my man. —Grip. • Scientific Church Singing. Many are the " hits " at quartette choirs besides those of Dominic Tal- mage and Mr. Moody. One caricatures the singing of the line " Welcome. sweet day of rest " thus, : "Wan kan swan dan and ran." • Another thus : " We -e -e-1 c -o -rue swe-e-e-et day of re - e -e -est." Suppose we turn the tables, and try to express on paper -sorne of the old style singing. Take the old fugu tune " Exhortations," one of the mpst popu- lar of its tribe. As ordinarily sang it runs thus ; " On Jaw-aw-aw-clan's stow-aw-aw-my ba-a-anks I sta-a-and; And ca-a-ast a wi-i-ishful eye." A. company of the blessed " old folks" will pepper " Kentucky," another popu- lar ballad, with slides, trills, arpeggio turas, grace notes, and runs' enough to serve Handel or Rossini for a dozen songs ! But the crowning apology for " scientific " singing is foune8,in the exe- cution of " China " in the nasal style, once supposed, and still thought by some good people to -be peculiarly pious and edifying, in which the consonant n " is heard like the drone of a 'bag- pipe or the wheeze of a melodeon, with a baritone note broke loose. It must be sung to give its true effect : n'Why n'do n'we mourn n'depa-arted fren-z-z-z n'Or shake n'at n'death's a -a -farm -z -z -z n'Ts n'but n'the voice n'that Jesus s'n 'd'z-z-z n't To -o call n'us n'te his ahrm-z-z-z ! structive of that . strict restraint which, broken, ever paves the way to licentious and pernicious habits of all descrip- tions. Jones.—Wdll, we'll see. ` Wait. TEN YEARS ;;AFTER—HE 18 MARRIED: "Jones. --Good morning, Mrs. Brown. Mr. Brown at home ? Mrs. Brown.—Not yet, Mr. Jones,and he should be, for I only sent him to the washwoman .with the clothes. Oh, here he is. I'm sore you needn't have been half • that time, Mr. Brown. (Snaps basket from his hand.) Mr. Brown.—(Rather scared)—I assure you, Sarah, I did hurry, but she said it was ten cents more, and I didn't like to set- tle it without your leave. (Backs into a corner.) Mrs. Brown.—I'd like to have seen you, I can tell you. Go straight back and tell her it's false. The brazen— Mr. Brown. ---My dear, I—(sees Jones) -Good morning, I'm quite ready , (hooks his arm in Jones' and runs off with him). Beg pardon, had to pre- tend an engagement; she's very vio- lent, I assure you. Mr. hones.—Well, tell your son Tom to go thei message.. Here he is. Mr. Brpwn.-Tom, would -you go,like a good fellow, :to— Tom. HGo yourself ! (Runs off.) Mr. Jolles. --=Well, I keep my family in tolerable order, not quite what you used to think sufficient, but still noth- ing like this. But perhaps you strained that determination of yours so hard that it snapped.—Grip. Switzerland in. a Word. He is to be pitied, is the common- place tourist urist ; he loses so much. When he comes home, his descriptions are somewhat likethose given to a, friend of mine, when he was a little boy, by a newly returned traveller. " And did you see Switzerland, and what was it alike ?" asked the boa , breathlessly. " Switzerland, boy ? Yes, boy. Swit- zerland is just gay." - Appalled by this incongruous ad- jective, the boy tried again in the hope of obtainipg more explicit informa- tion : " Yes -and did you see the Alps, and how did they look ?" The Alps, boy? Yes, boy, I saw the' Alps, and now tell you, boy, the Alps are just bay !" ` There was a$.increased emphasis in the enunciation of this second " gay," which promised well ; se the boy pricked up his 'pears, and made a final trial : Aud -tell ine, sir, _did you—did you see Mount IBlanc, and how did it look ?" " Mount Blanc, my boy ? Yes, boy, I saw Mount 'Blanc, and new. boy, I tell you what it is, boy, Mount Blanc is just GAY !" - There was 'a •whole collection of avalanches and thunders and lightnings in this last " gay," but it did not satisfy the child, who retired discounted from these futile • attempts . to draw de- scrittions of Switzerland from` ass ma- turer friend. A Story 'for Girls. Sit down on the porch, children, and let me tell you about Aunt Rachel and the story she once told me. • ,One day, wheel} I was about twelve years old, I hadiplanned • to go ' after straw- berries, but Aunt Rachel said to me : " A girl of yoiir age should begin to learn how to do housework. Take off your hat, roll up your sleeves, and help me to do the baking." . I pouted and sighed and shed tears, but was encouraged by the promise that I might go after the baking. Un- der good Aunt Rachel's direction - I mixed a big loaf of bread, placed it on a tin as bright aS a new dollar; and was rubbing the flour off my hands, when she called out : "This will never, never do, child— you haven't . scraped your bread bowl clean." - I shall never forget the picture she made standing there, her eyes regarding me sternly, one hand resting on her hip while in the other she held the untidy bowl. " It will never do, child," she went on ; it is not only untidy, but it makes too much waste ; to be a good housekeeper you must learn to be eco- nomical. You have heard the story of the young man who wanted an econom- ical wid=e ?" " No," I answered,- and I ,might have added that I did not wish to hear it either. " Well," she continued, " he was a very likely young man, and he wanted a careful wife, so he thought of a way he could find one._ One morning he went to call upon the different girls of is. acquaintance, and asked them each or the scrapings of their bread bowls o feed his horses. You see they all wanted him. So they got all they ould for him. Finally he found a girl ho hadn't any, so he asked her to be is wife, because he thought she, must e economical. . " Now," said ' Aunt aches, triuniphantly, " suppose a oung man asked you for the scrapings of your bread bawl, what would you ay ?" " What could I say ?" I repeated scorn- fully " why, I'd Stell him if he couldn't afford to buy oats for his horses, that they might starve. I wouldn't rob the pig to feed them." I suppose Aunt, Rachel thought that lesson was lost on me ; but as true as ou live I never knead the bread to this ay without thinking of her lesson in economy. t c w b R No quartette choir in the universe can y beat this—at least so says Dr, Went- worth.—Troy Times.. When I Marry. Brown.—(Unmarried)—I am distinct- ly opposed to the careless, lax, and dis- graceful mismanagement of families in thepresent day. The wife is unacquaint- - edwith the divine inculcation of submis- sion to her husband; the children are left in ignorance of the rod -remember- ing precept of Solomon. • Jones.—(Married) — Oh, come, we don't get along so bad. You're too hard on us. Brown.—Hard, Sir ! I should be Flint, sir. I ought to be Adamant, Sir! Jones.—You can't fall in love then— that's impossible.—And no one can fall in love with you. You. can't marry. Brown.—I can, sir, I will, sir. And my wife shall receive proper instruc- tion in a proper spirit, and know her place, and submit as she ought, or I'll know why. . Jones.—Well, my family are all right. Brown.—Right, Sir! Right ! I as- sure you, Sir, that I saw, I most dis- tinctly saw—I most distinctly myself saw—your boy Jack enter your hall door to -day without wiping his shoes ! He did ; i k ((.-roans deeply.) Jones.—Well, won't yours ever ? If in a hurry ? Brown.—lliine ! If ever I have. any, and they do - so, I shall -.-I shall- cut them into inch pieces. Then they are irreverent to their parents. Children should not be allowed to enter into con- versation with their parents. It is de - a • Settling, an Agent. The Skinners' Company has large estates in Ireland, most 'of which, in the opinion of the guild, are let at very inadequate rents. The expenses of the company having increased with the general increase of prices, the members of the guild put their heads together— in other words, had a board meeting— and resolved to raise the rents of their Irish estates. An agent was at once dispatched to Ireland to see how mat- ters stood, and quietly break the news to the tenants. His first proceeding was to summon the tenants to a meet- ing, and then, wit<ll all the seductive eloquence at his command, he dwelt upon the increased cost of every neces- sary of civilized life, and gradually broached to them the views of the Skinners' Company with regard to its rents. He sat down, satisfied -that there was no answer to his convincing logic. One of the tenants at once rose, and, with a ,blandness which one looks in vain for out of Paddy -land, compli- mented the agent on his speech. " I agree with the jintleman," said he; " sorra he thing is there that's not dearer t an it used to be." Then,turn- ing sudd my to the agent, he said, "-Begorr , sor, I'll give ye a proof of .it. Three y ars ago sure Lconid have got ye shot r a sovereign, and now, be jabers, t e market price is three poun' tin 1" T e agent endeavored Ito smile, but it w s a ghastly attempt, and when the meet'ng broke up he " made tracks " 'home, a d politely., informed- the Skin- ners' Co pony that •they might go over and raise their own rents. -1 Gaieties.
