Reil- ly's squad happened to be there, with De- tectives Kemp and Murphy. "I'm hungry," the stranger whispered gloomily, "Give me a , dime to get some - thine to eat." "I won't give you any honey," said De- tective Brett; "I disapprove of the practice; but I'll get you something to eat." Turning to Detective Murphy, he said: "Take this poor fellow to the eating house next door, and tell the proprietor I'll settle for what he eats." Then Brett wheeled about and continued his chat with the cigar dealer. The straw,- er witlitll'ia'fs,de Was Yea into the Dating house, where Murphy delivered Brett'', message. 'Mee -quarters of an hour later Brett sauntered into the eating house with a smile on his face. He felt that he had done a generous act. - "Well, did vbu give that poor man a meal!" he asked, cheerily. "I did, and he seemed to enjoy it huge- ly," replied the proprietor. "He was hungry, I can tell you." "bo he said. What's the check?" "Eighty-five cents." "Eighty-five cents!" Brett gasped. "How does it come to that much?" "Why ho had a regular swell meal," the proprietor responded. "He began on a dozen raw oysters, then he had a bone sir- loin, with potatoes and coffee, and wound np with a twenty cent cigar. Detective Murphy said to let him have anything he wanted." Detective Brett whistled, put a dollar note on the counter, dropped the fifteen cents change in his pocket, and looked thoughtfuL Detectives Kemp and Murphy laughed softly; attd fired this bit of philosophy- at their associate: "Say, pard, I guess it Would have been a heap cleverer to have. given the follow the dime he asked for and let him buy hi''s own meal." A clay later the postman delivered to De- tective Brett a postal card. lir one corner was a clever pencil drawing of the shabby stranger's lank and unhappy face. In the other corner was a sketch of the same face fatteiied by gond oysters and juicy steak. A cigar protruded from a corner of the month of the fat face. The drawings bore the inscriptions "Before" and "After." Be- tween the sketches was this message: Detective Brett: Bless your kind heart for that dinner. A HIINnaY MAN.

An anonymous writer contributes to the Atlantic Monthly some re- collections or stories of the public prayers of the Puritan fathers of New England. In a Maine town near the sen coast, wee ono of many communities where the men were, so to speak, a cross between farmers and sailors, and where, as a natural consequence, the cultivation of the soil was sompl:at neglected. The ministers of the neighboring town exchanged with the minister of this community, and as a drought was upon them, the people sent him a request that he would pray for rain. Thie he did, as follows : 'Oh, Lord, thy servant is asked by this people to pray for rain, and he does so. But thou knoweet, 0 Lord, that what this soil needs is dresain'.' A member of a certain Massachu• setts parish, prominent for his thrift and personal consequence, was :deo notorious for his overbearing as suptione and pompous air. Under the distress and fright of a danger- ous illness he 'put up notes' on .several successive Sundays and after his recovery, according to usage, he offered a note to be read by the minister expressive of his thanks. Tho minister was eomowhat `large' in this part of his prayer, re- calling the danger and the and the previous petitions of the 'squire' and returning leis grateful ackuow -ledgelntnts- with. the, prayer that the experience night be blessed to the spiritual welfare of the restored. Ile then closed with these words : 'And we pray, 0 Lord, that thy servant may be cured of that un- godly strut so offensive in the sanctuary.'

"Then I don't want to go. " Dr. Barnes of Scituate had for a parishioner a rich, but Bard, grasp- ing, 'penurious, and quarrelsome man. In course of time he died, and at his funeral the minister dealt with him in no gentle phrase. The next Sunday the bereaved widow came herself to the parson- age, bring the usual 'note,' and at the same time preferring an earnest request that, as the minister had al- ready given her husu sband _ch•_ a raking at the fnnemal, he would quietly pass him over in his prayer. She added that her husband had always been kind and good to her and to his family. 'Well, well, we'll see; said the aged and venerated paster. His curt relief of himself in his prayer was this : 'Thou knowest, 0. Lard, that thy departed servant was a good provid- er for his family, but beyond that, his friends think, and we think, the lees said the better. DON'TS FOR BACHELORS. Don't be a bachelor, that's all. OVERWORKED V. OVER- EATING. An abuse that tends to injury of the brain -workers is excessive eat- ing. A medical writer recalls to mind several active brain -workers who suddenly broke down and fancied that it was due to over- stuffing on their part. The furnace connected mith their mental machin- ery became clogged up with ashes an'd carbon in various shapes and forms, and as a result disease came, and before the cases were fully ap- preciated a demoralised condition of the nervous system was manifested, and they laid the flattering unction to their souls that they had indulged in mental overwork. Hard work, mental or physical, rarely ever kills. If a mild amount of physical ex- ercise be taken, and a judicious amount of food be furnished, the bowels kept open in the proper manner, the eurface be protected with proper clothing, and the in- dividual cultivates a philosophical nature and absolutely resolves to permit nothing to annoy or fret him, the chances are that he can do . almost au unlimited amount of work for an indefinite length of time, bearing in mind always that when weariness comes ho must rest, and not take stimulants and work upon any false capital. The tired, worn-out slave should not be scourged to additional labour. Under such.atimulus the slave may do the task, but he soon becomes crippled and unfit for work. The secret of successful work lies in the direction of selecting good nutii- tious;food,taken in proper quantities, not eaten as a "gourmand ;" the adoption of regular methods o€ work, and the rule of resting when .pronounced Jig re e ,psts en, -Itself, and determining not to permit friction, worry, or fretting to enter .inter into his :ifs.—Science Sift - i n g e. • . . Don't presume upon your inde- pendence. Don't button yourselves up in yourselves. Don't be too 'palavering' with the women. Don't think a bachelor is the best form of mon. Don't forget that you are growing old very rapidly. Don't try to prevent yourselves loving little children. Don't try to hide that bald spot or the streaking gray hairs. Don't remain as you are any longer than you can help yourselves. Don't think because you think a bachelor is the happiest man in the world that he is really so. ATTRACTED BY AN ENEMY.

MIss JANET STUART, Muskoka Falls, Ont, A WOMAN'S INFATUATION. Rock ford, Illinois, was astounded the other day by a acaudal. Mre. J. H. Patterson, prominent in the Women's Christian Temper- ance Union and the superintendent of the jail work for that organiza- tion, was discovered by her husband with a former prisoner whom she has been trying to save. Patterson works in the country, and is only home occationally nights. Saturday night he came home suddenly, and claims he found Charles Clark, alias Charier Messner, who was recently let out of jail here, and who, it will bo re- , membered-, made atrutuped up con- fession regarding the Purdy murder case, in his wife's room. IIe went to the police and tried to have them arrested, but having no warrant this could not bo done. So he took his - three boys and loft her. Mts. Petterson admitted to a re- porter that Messner was in her room, but said that be was trying to reform and lead a better life and that he dropped in occassionally to gat- her assistance in studying the Sunday -school lesson and he stopped into he -abed -room to black his shoes and slick up, so as to make a good - appearance on Sunday. She says that Patterson has said he would kill herby inches and started the stories to ruin her reputation. She also said that her husband was de- serving of the penitentiary. The peculiar feature of the affair is that Clark, alias Messner, is a professional crook born and bled, and is a low, brutal -appearing fel- low, with no graces to commend bine to women.
