Ella Wheeler Wilcox. • Pat' iit Reply. Pet Murphy, my footman, desires to suit, And is anxious on errands to go; Ife walked about till he wore in his boot A little round holtein the toe. Next morning I saw him intently at work, (I scarely mild ask him for laughter,) In the heel he was boring- a hole with a fork, "Why Pat," says he, " what are you after?" "Faith master," says I, "you the reason shall iknow, The i truth I don't wish to conceal, 'Tit to let all the wet that conies in at the toe Run immediately out at the heel." ' Suitable to Either Side. Judge David Key, of Tennessee, who was President Hayes' postmaster -gener- al after he had served a short time in the Senate, told a good story of a man in the mountain region of his State, who was a stereotyped candidate for local offices of all descriptions`, but who would never give a decided opinion upon any - question. On one occasion, when he was. a • candidate for the position of sheriff, there was great excitement On the enforcement of a school tax. He addressed quite a gathering at a muster, but evaded the only question that the audience wantedto hear about and just as he was closing a fellow shouthd " Tell us about the school tax. Are you for it, or are you not ?" The crowd cheered, and the orator, -anis pressed for a dec- laration of opinion, said: "Gentlemen, you have a right to ask for an answer. I have no concealment to make. I. -am a frank man, and to you I say in all frankness, if it is a good thing I am for it, and if it is a. bad thing I am against • it. - Irfsh Wit. The baronet left his feudal castle in the Wild West of Ireland—where he reigns over his tenants with absolute sway— and came to "dear, dirty Dublin" to greet the Royal visitors, and to see the fun of the fair. Taking an airing in "the Phaynix Park," and feeling him- self a most important item in one of the recent ceremonies, his cogitations were interrupted by a sturdy mendicant, por- tions of whose tattered garments flutter- ed boldly in the, motning breeze. " Give me.a copper, yer honor," pleaded the poor 1119,11-4 a copper to help buy me breakfast "Impudent fellow !" said the pompous baronet. " You beg, and yet you don't take off your hat while addressing me !" Ah, yer honor, you must excuse me for this time," said the ragged one, " for, if I take off me hat that policeman standing near the gate will suspect me to be a tramp and arrest me • but, ,if I keep me hat on, he'll think we are only two friends talking over our family affairs and he'll walk away." • Loggers at Meal -Time., ranrcHEN CALISTHENICS AS ILLUSTRATED IN A MICHIGAN LOGGING CAMP. (Charles Ellis in the Current.) around their iron -pound coat; hot soda biscuit, a spoanful of flotui to a quart of soda, it seemed to mei! very short with oceans of lard; rainco pies of basked beef and pork, salt and fresh; dried apples, with molasses to suit, and raisins throw4 in to support the crust that is made of chilled pork fat sprinkl- ed with flour; tea that is boiled down, filled up and boiled again, and kept boiling from meal tO meal, dished •out from the boiler, grounds and all, into measures that are half filled with cold or luke warm water and drank from tin cups whose inner rsurfaces are coated with the brown and, dirty -looking sedi- ment ofithe over -boiled tea,without sugar or milk—all this sort of thing "the boys "endured from day to day with an amiability that would make a New England dyspeptic miserable with envy. But it must not be understood that camp cooks are without skill. They are often good cooks. Most of them can make excellent yeast bread, which is, after all, the staff cf• life. But there is so much work to be done, and only the one man ..with one or, at most, two chore hands to assist him, that much of it must be hurried over and slighted. From 4 in the morning until 8 or later at night the cook must be on duty, the season through. "Mike," our French cook, is as gooas the average. He is active and industrious, and will cut more meat, in his way, dish up more potatoes, hash, fried pork, stewed steak, soda biscuit, baked beans, etc., in five •minutes than any other man I ever saw at work, and the way he will place and. arrange diehes on a table is luminous with dexterity. - A Woman and a Telegram. The other day a young housewife left her home in the city to spend a few days with several lady friends in a dis- tant town. Before going she prepared a good supply of edibles for her husband, and told ' him he could help himself whenever he was hungry. He took lunch down town and went home in the evening for dinner. As he tells the story he found cold chicken cold butter, cold pie, cold milk, cold salt, cold mustard, and several other cold dishes,. but with all he was not entirely satisfled and hunted high and low for something else. At first he did not know what it was, but finally concluded that hq wanted bread. He knew there was soneIin Mie. house, but he could not find it. Finally he con- cluded to telegraph his wife, for he could not live without bread. - Accord- ingly a telegram asking "Where is the bread ?" was dispatched. The Wife received it in the midst of a number of ladies, and it frightened her nearly to death. With the cry "1 know it is bad news ; I know Mr. is kill- ed !" and she fell in a faint. The ladies cried for sympathy, and a most lugubri- ous scene presented itself when the man of the house happened in. "What's the matter ?" he asked. "Mrs. B.'s husband has been1 killed and she has fainted," was the reply; " How do you know ?" he asked. "01,. she got a telegram." " Where is it?" " We haven't opened it yet." I . i Imagine the scene when the sympa- • thetic creatures read the message. In about an hour the reply was sent back to him : " You mean thing.

When a meal ferings of the Northwest I is ready the cook opens the door and calls and the esen•rush in with a silent, grim, determined energy that is sugges- tive of a gathering of old soldiers in the banquet rooms of !Walhalla. The secret of this is that the men all wear rubbers or "packs," and so move over the floor without noise; and the eagerness with -which they crowd forward, bareheaded, with swinging arms, and legs striding far, and all without a sound, almost makes the beholder wonder if he has not by some mistake got down into the wrong place.
