BASE BALL.Remarks made by the Shelby girls about the

"Valley Club'' boys as overheard by one whoWas just loafing around lose-att- he matchKnmc between "

the Valley" and "Shelby"clubs:

Miss Mattie"Of nil the men immortalized

I!y ports or essayisters.Those Valley boys are certainly

The basest baliist playistets."

JIiss Emma"Just see Hiss B. look at that boy

As if he did bewitch her;How she would like to lean upon

The handle of that l'itdter!"

Miss Anna"Suppose she would and ain't she rijlit

J tell you he's a siiatcher:Oh, I would like to be a ball

And he the only Catcher."

Miss Katk"How do you like the Franklin hills?

Did you ever see them, Sallie?"MissSai.i.ie

"Dou't talk to nio about the hillsI'm so charmed with the Valley."

Miss Bkttie''Look at that man, with slender form.

Full six feet two or taller;How well he strikes and swift he runs!

He's such a nice base-baller-

M tss Lor."How game they look. Hut seo that boy

Who gave his head a scratch;I'll bet my bottom dollar he

Will make a splendid catch."

MissSi'K"Should that great his i"111 take a wife,

I hope that he would like her;She'd be a dead ball, sure as fate,

If he should prove, a striker."

Miss A lick"If he should ever treat me thus.

That game w ould score no fun;I'd leave the valley with the hills

And make a quick humemn."

Just then a ball came like a bird,A foul ball on the. fly,

And nearly struck a petty girlA jodip iu the eye.

"He nearly struck her," said Miss Sue;"He surely don't dislike her!"

"Stmrkherl'' mid Jane; "that's his past(t)ime,For he is but a striker."

PUS KINS.

WEARY OF LIFE.Midnight was past, and the lights of

the vessels lying at anchor in the streamwere beginning to be extinguishedwhen two men hurried from differentdirections to the shore. The elder ofthe two had already reached the strand,and was preparing to make a leap, thedesign of which was not (o be mis-

taken, but at that instant the youngerseized him by the arm, and exclaimed:

"Sir, I believe you want to drownyourself!"

"Yon have guessed it. What is thatto you?"

This was the answer, spoken in anangry tone.

"Nothing, I know; I would simplyask you to wait a couple of minutes,when, if you like, we will make thegreat journey together. Arm in, armthe best way of dying."

With these words the youngerhis hand to the elder, whose

own was not withheld. The formercontinued, in a tone of enlhusiam:

"So be it! Arm in arm! Truly I didnot believe that a human heart wouldbeat with mine in this last hour. Iwill not seek to know who you are anhonest min or a villian. Come, let usbegin our journey together."

The elder held the young man back,and firing his dim, half extinguishedeyes upon the countenance of his com-panion, exclaimed:

"llolu.' You seem too young to endyou.r Hcjby miicidc A. man f.f your,years lmstiir a"briiiiant ani "future within his grasp "

"Biilliant!" answered the young man,scornfully. "What have I to hope frin the midst of a world of wickedness,falsehood, treacherv, and unhappiness?.Come quick!"

"You are still young. You mugthave a very sorrowful experience tomake life already thus insupportable toyou."

"I despise mankind.""Without exception?""Without exception.""Well, then, you have now, perhaps,

found a man whom you will not ne-

cessarily despise. I have, believe me,during my whole life, lived an honora-ble man."

"Keally, this is highly interesting.It is a pity I had not earlier made youracquaintance."

"Leave me to die alone, young man."ijive on. Believe me, time heals

over old wounds, and there are men ofhonor yet to be found."

"Now, if you take this view, why areyou hurrying so fast to say adieu to theworld';"

"Oh! I am a sickly old man, uuableto make a livelihood; a man who can-not, will not, longer sec his only child,his daughter, blighting her youth andlaboring night and day to support him.No! f would be an unfeeling father Iwould be barbarous, to live on thus."

"How, sir; have vou a daughter whodoes that for you?" asked the youngman surprised.

"And with what endurance, withwhat love, does she sacrifice herself forme! She works for me, she goes hun-gry tor me, and has only the tenderestwords of love a sweet smile for mealways."

"And you want to commit suicide?Are you numr"',

"Shall I murder my daughter? Thelife she is now leading is her certaindeath," answered the old man in a de-spairing voice.

"Good sir. go with me to the nearestinn that is still open, and let us drink abottle of wine together. You will re-late to roe your history, and, if you like,I will lt you hear mine. So much,nuwevt;r, i win say to you beforehand-ch- ase

all thoughts of self-murd- er out ofyour Head. 1 am rich, and if things beas you say, from henceforth you andyour daughter shall lead a pleasantlife,"

The oldj man followed the youngerwithout opposition. A few minuteslater, over full glasses, the elder began:

"My history is soon told. I was amerchant's clerk, but always unlucky.As I had nothing by inheritance, andthe young girl I married was poor, Iwas never able 1o commence businesson my own account, and remained onuntil old age, in a dependent, subordi-nate position. Finally, I was discharg-ed on account of my years, and thenbegan the struggle for subsistence.My wife died of trouble, and now mypoor child is wearing her life away togain my support. I canuot bear tosee her working herself to death for me

therefore, it is hetfpr r rn v,.know all."

"Friend," exclaimed the young man,you are the most fortunate man Iever encountered in my life- - It is in-sane to call that misfortune. Nobodyis easier to help than you.1 will make my will, and you shall beno resistance my heir. The com-ing night is my last. Before, this, how-ever, I must see your daughter, out ofpure I would for onee seehow one looks who really deserves thename of woman;"

"But. young "man, what can it beW Jicb tli. iarly has made you so

r.sk'-.- the elder, much moved."Ibolii.eit was the wealth whichmy father left me. I was the only sonof the richest janker i.i the city Mvlather died fivL- - years since, leaving me

ore than was g- - od for me. Sincethat time I liave beea deceived aud be

trayed bv every one, without exception,Some have pretended friendship for me

on account of my money, vum-i- s

have pretended to love me again onaccount of my money and so it wenton. T have often minffled. in the garbof a sinmle workman, with the masses,and thus one day became acquaintedwith a charming being, a young girl towhom my whole heart soon went outin love. I disclosed to her neither myname nor my position. I longed to beloved for myself alone, and for a timeit appeared as if 1 were going to behappy. The young girl and 1, whomshe still regarded as a simple workman,met every afternoon in the Marcus-plal- z,

where we walked up and downtogether, passing many happy hours.One day my dear girl appeared withflushed face and swollen eves she hadbeen weeping and told mo that wcmust part confessing that her life be-

longed to another. With these wordssl.e tore herself from me and disap-peared in the crowd. Her faithless-ness decided my destiny. Vainly did Irush into the pleasures ofgood society, but found my last peaceof mind never! I then determined tobring my joyless existecen to a close."

"Unhappy young man," said the el-

der; "with my whole heart I pity you.I must acknowledge that I was morefortunate than you; for I, ftt least wasloved by two women my wife anddaughter tenderly loved."

"Will vou give me vour address,good sir, that I may convince myself ofthe truth of your story? It is not ex-

actly mistrust, but I must see to be-

lieve. w I will arrange myanairs, as I have already told you. Youwill remain in this inn' and inthe morning early I will return. Giveme your word of honor that you willnot leave this house until I return, andthat you will not in the meantime speakto any one of what has taken place be-

tween us.""You have my word. Go to my

dwelling, to my daughter, and you willfind that I have told you but the simpletruth. My name is Wilhelm S .

Here is my address."With these words he handed the

young man a piece of paper giving thelocality of his dwelling. It lay in thesuburbs inhabited by the poorer classes, at some distance from the cityproper.

"And my name is Carl ," said theyoung man. "Take this bank note; itwill reach till my return.'

Carl rang for the waiter, had the pro-prietor called, commended the old manto his care on suitable terms, and leftthe house.

Hardly had the morning broke, whenCarl found himself on the wav to thesuburb where there lived the daughter of the old man with whom he hadbecome acquainted under such peculiarcircumstances. It vas not withouttrouble that he found the house. Thevoting man knocked, opened the door,and involuntarily stepped back.

Y hat did he seerThe young girl whose inconstancy

had made his life a burden unbearablestood before him.

She had grown pale, very pale buthe knew her at the first glance; it wasBertha, whom he had once hoped tocall his own. '

At his appearence, Uie young girlsprang toward him overcome with joy,holding out her little hands. Theyoung man waved her back, exelaiming:

"You did not expect to see me?"The poor girl sank back into a seat

and covered her pale beautiful counte-nance with )r hands.

"Are vou Wilhelm S s' daugh-ter?" asked the . man coldly, after

"1 am,'' auswc od the maiden, timidly."And who and where is that other

whom, as you told me at parting, yourlife belonged?" ' ? (

"That other is my fathers'' answeredthe young girl, looking up to the youngman with a glance in which spoke thetenderest love.

With lightning quickness the truthdawned upon him, thecales fell fromhis eyes suddenly all was clear.

Speechless he rushed to Bertha, tookher In his arms, pressed her to hisbosom.

"Come to your father," he faltered tothe surprised girl.

"My father? Oh, ,God! I forgot;where is he? He has been out Callnight. I have watched for him in tears,the long night through."

"YoW father is saved; he was withme," was Carl'a answer, as he hurriedthe young girl out and through thestree ts to the arms of her father.

A fortnight later, in the midst of thegreatest splendor, the marriage of therich young banker, Carl T toBeytha S took place.

M-- A small boy out West was as-sisting his fa. her "to mark sheep withpaint and brush. The father wouldcatch a sheep and say to the boy,"Mark that." A.fter the job was donethe boy startefi for his home, whichwas at some distance, and was overta-ken by a minister on horseback, who,seeing the boy barefoot, invited himto a ride behind him. After the boywas seated he began to catechise himthus:

"My lad do vou attend SabbathSchool?"

"No," was the reply."You should attend the Sabbath

School, mark that! All good childrenshould attend both Church and SabbathSchool, mark that!"

After many more rer.ifrks of thiskind the boy replied:

"I have your back all overnow, and it looks like thunderl"

The reverend gentleman was some-what astonished when he examined hiscoat.

Herrequest was granted, but before shereached it, only about live hundredyards from the school, she became to-tally blind.

"Fine day for the race," said a wag toa sporting friend one bright moruinglately. "What race?" anxiouslv inquired the friend. '.'Why, the humanrace, to be sure," was the reply.

A merchant's advice in selecting awife was, "get hold of a piece of calicothat will wash." What an economicalold gentleman he must have been.

If a young lady wishes to encourageher lover when he gives her a squeeze,the best thing she can do is to represshim.

What kind of an essence does a youngman like when he pops the question?Acquiescence.
