A Peppery Convention.
Some years ago, a famous English
actress, having been disengaged for
some time, had packed her wardrobe in
pepper, to preserve it from moths.
She was called upon to take the part of
the queen in oHamlet.� Being rather
late for her first scene, she omitted to
shake out her royal robes, and her dig-
nified entrance had an astonishing ef-
fect. The king, after a brave resis-
tance, gave vent to a mighty sneeze
that well-nigh made the stage vibrate.
All the royal courtiers and maids of
honor tollowed suit sympathetically: |

~A. Pair of Them.
Lieut, Fauntleroy, of SimmTs Con-
federate States battery, hada confirmed
habit of stammering. One. day, during
the retreat from Camp Disland, Louis-
iana, while riding along the road he
came up with a stragler from the St.
Mary cannoneers who, it seems, was
similarly affectedin his speech. Him
the lieutenant accosted in his peculiar
vernacular.

~t-illery ahead ?� :

mered the boy.
In a rage the lieutenant: out with
his sword and was about to go for the
offender, when the soldier held up both
hands, crying, oH-h-o-00-ld on,.,1., lieu-
tenant, I-I-I-s--wear I c-c-ant talk a
d-d-darn bit b-b-b-etter than you can.�

bar, ~that for a long timo I couldn't
imagine what brought our neighber,
Mr. Anthony Hammerby, in to see
us so often. Mr. Hammerby was a
a journeyman boiler maker and then
a boss, and having made a modest
fortune he had retired to enjoy it:
He lived only two or three doors
from us, and he used to come in of:
ten evenings. He seemed particu.
larly to like to hear the children
play on the piano, and if they didnTt
play he would always ask to have
them. I used to wonder at this, be.
cause J never had any idea that Mr.
Hammerby was especially fond oi
music, and one day I asked him
about it. .
~***Well, you see,T said Mr. Ham.
merby, ~I suppose that every man
has a feeling of affection for the
trade or profession that he was
. brought up in. I know that I have
that feeling for my own, and when
I hear your childrén play duets or
the piano with the hard pedal on al)
the time, it makes me think of the

He Returned From Heaven.
The absentminded man, who %y
also religious, walked into. churct
while the organ was breathing forth
a long, low melody that seemed to
be the music of heaven. And as he
listened to it his air grew more pre-
occupied, a light not of earth came
{nto his suffpsed ¢ eyes, all the better
elements of his nature were moved
in accord with the melodious strains,
and for that moment he was not of
earth.
Then he walked into his pew and
started to take off his overcoat. So
preocoupied was he that he did not
realize he was pulling off: his other
coat until he stood there in his shirt
sleeves in full view of ~the worldly
songregation, which tittered so. it
