B022S' faco looked as mournful as a eravevanl by moanlijiht as he (lecended the stairs of his boarding hous?, ouc morning last week, while the mincing manner in which he stepped aud the wido detour that he made to avoid anything touching him was calculated to give one the impression that everything was not serene. 4Oh ! old sport, how h things V shouted young Tripper, overtaking him in the hall and rushing past him. 'Darn-a-tion ! I wish you'd look where you're running !' exclaimed B., holding on to the bannisters and writhing around as if in agony. 'Why, I scarcely touched you at all,' said the young man stopping and looking at hitn in amazement. 'Touched the d 1 ! You hit one of my biles hard enough to knock a hoise down,' screamed Boggs, wi ping the te;irs out of his eyes. 'Then why don't you keep your boils out of the way if you do not want to get them busted V replied Tripper, getting mad and sassy. 'I'll bust the man that bursts one of them, if I go to prison fcr nine- i teen thousand years for doing it,' said Boggs, hoarsly, treading as softly down the stairs as if he was walking on tacks with bare feet. 'Good morning, Mr. Boggs,' said his landlady, coming suddenly up on and brushing against him as ho ! passed the parlor door. 'Ouch ! Oh, Lordy ! Hang the thing !' he exclaimed, leaning up j against the wall and holding his i pants off the tender spot. 'Why, what's the matter V she asked, with alarm. J 'Oh ! lcm'me 'Ion, can't you ''' ; he moaned. j 'Are you sick';' she inquired, so I lieitously, coming over to his side. 'Keep away and don't lay your I finger on me, or 2'li break every thing in this house !' he cried, des perately motioning her off with his disengaged hand. 'Well, you might be a little more civil, I think,' she replied, flouncing away to the dining-room, where, meeting Jones, her first floor board er, she said, confidentially 'I just had an awful fright from Mr. Boggs. lie acts like a man with the hydrophobia. I wish you would find out what ails him.' WThen Boggs limped in, opening the door very wide, and looking around for the softest chair, there was a painful silence for a moment, and then Jones asked 'Sprain your ancle, Boggs V 'No, sprain nothing,' said Mr B., tartly, sitting down as gently as if he was going to hatch eggs. 'Rheumatism, eh?' asked Jones, after receiving a smile of approval from his hestess. 'No !' ejaculated Bogj;s, tersely. 'Boots hurt you hey t question ed Jones. 'None of your darned business !' exclaimed Begg, getting angry at being interrogated. 'Well, there's no reason for you getting your back up about it. 1 was only inquiring what was the matter with you,' said Jones hotly. 'Well, if you must know, I have got a howling old bile here on this leg, and a couple of double-headed old snorters hereabout,' explained Bogg, making a motion to lift his coat-tail and point out the precise spots. The landlady turned quickly away and commenced talking to the canary ; Miss Decollete, the j young lady boarder, who had been listening attentively, blusned scar let, young Tripper roared with laughter, and Jones after wishing the floor would open, the house fall down, or some one shout ire !" in the street, stammered 'Yes yes. Ne-ncver mind you sh-showing us, we'll take your word for it.' After breakfast, Boggs started off for business, walking as slowly and gingerly as a man does on ice ; turning the corner of the street, a butcher boy with a basket on his arm ran into him. 'Ow!ow! Cresaration ! I will kick the head off you !' he roared, catching hold of a fence and glar ing at the boy. 'tricky! What's the matter with you ? Got the Jim-jams ?' yelled the boy. '1 hope I'll live to see you hutig for that !' exclaimed Boggs, mop ' ping the cold perspiration from his j forehead. 'Don't your clothes fit ycu ? Or don't you get enough to eat?' ask ed the boy chaffingly. iioggs limped away, promising himself a day s vacation, no matter how busy he might be, to witness m . iiv that boy s execution, hailed a pas ing car, and sat down softly, slowly and painfully on the hard un-cush ioned seat. A moment later a fash ionable miss with pull-back skirts, and her hair artistically mussed over her forehead, came in aad dropping into her seat diagonally, bumped up against his boil. 'Christopher Columbus ! Wrhy can't you sit down like a Christian V he exclaimed, squirming and wrig gling around on his seat, till the passengers thought he was going to have a fit. 'Me, sir ?' inquires the young lady, haughtily. 'Yes, yon ? you ? You, ma'am ! i've got a bile on my leg as big as a bucket, and you flopped yourself down on it,' he replied passionately. The passengers tittered, the la dy frowned, grew red as a boiled lobster and drew away from him, and Boggs was in hopes that his troubles were at an end, when a meek young man with a struggling whisker, lavender colored neck-tie, and bashful, timid manners, on try ing to leave the car was precipita ted into his lap. 'Whoop ! Dorm you ! Dorm ev erybody! I'll massacre you!' he shouted, grabbing the floundering young man by his collar, jamming his head over the seat and trying to choke him to death. The meek youth kicked and gasped and the conductor separated and bounced them both off the car. 'Wait till these biles get well, and I'll lam ycu for running against me !' screamed Bci;i3, shaking his GO 3 O fist at the mild young man. The meek youth made no reply, but after trying to pin his bursted paper coller, hurried away to con sult a lawyer about bringing action against Boggs for unprovoked as sault with intent to kill. Boggs was undergoing such 'grinding torments' that he conclu ded to return home and go to bed, and was limping back when he step ped on an orange peel, and his left foct shot out from under him with a swiftness that made him sick and he could feel his very scalp lift with horror of the inevitable crash, then his right foot scooted away in the opposite direction and he came down on the pavement with an ab ruptness and force that will make him shiver to think of it to his dy- ins: da. n o'd apple woman helped him up, his hat, wiped the teais from his eyes with her apron and let him hang on to an ash barrel till he could get his breath and conscious ness back, when he crawled home, and meeting his landlady on the stairs, said 'If you will make me three flax seed poultices a foot thick, I'll buy you the prettiest humped-up dress in the city when I get well.'

She did not go down howev er, for the water was there before her, and had been there all night, and had driven the rats out to high- cr ?round like the poor DeeDle in .... Happy Hollow. She had not more than opened the door when a great rat sprang between her dress and pet on ur skirt, and scrambled up to an uneasy resting place. The next instant tho lady had him in her nervous grasp, holding dress, skirt and rat with a desperate grip, des pite the wriggling and squirming of the rodent. And back into the kitchen she went, and the matinee opened. The lady is a good church mem ber, and has never taken a lesson in dancing in her life, but she waltz ed across tho kitchen and golloped through the sitting room and polka ed down tho hall and schottisched back into the dining room and reel ed back into the kitchen where she jigged, shuffled and piroueted, nevs er missing a step and furnishing her own music all tho time, while her sister and three children ran after her, shrieking and wailing for help, under tho impression that she had gone mad and beseeching her to tell what was the matter. She told them at last, when the orchestra was out of breath, and when she told them they all shriek ed in chorus and ran out of the room but returned, climbed up on the table and begged her to turn the rat oosfi.

Sho held on to him and was not going to let him ou till the headsman was ready. A council of war determined that the best way to kill a rat wa3 to put him in a bag and pound or drown him.

A loud, piercing scream, that curd led the blood with the intensity of its agony, followed the blow, and as the executioner opened her eyes sho beheld the unfortunate rat catcher at the other end of the room seated on the floor, swaying to and fro, nursing her bruised and beaten foot, while the rat, greatly fright ened by the noise, ran out of the bag, jumped on the baby s head and scared it into convulsions, leaped from the baby on to the tabic, and flopped into a crock of butter scram bled through a pan of milk, jumped off the table on to the window sill, end ran under the house to conceal its emotion. Yankee Blade. Gray hair is not only honorable, man it is an indication, of perfect domestic iencity. When one con- siders how few married men there are who have any hair left to tuifl, gray, when it comes time, what wonder that men regard gray-hair- ed men with feelings of exageratcd avy ana veneration. ii ' i- V
