The Usual Way. Didst ever observe when a pig in the fence sends forth its most pitiful shout; how all the neighbours betake themselves hence to punish him ere he gets out? And the hubbub they raise, so that others afar may know his condition and hence come running to join them in adding a scar. To the pig that is fast in the fence. Well, swine are not all of the creatures that be who find themselves sticking between the rails of the fence, and try to get free while the world is still shoving them in; who find that the favour they meet with depends not on words, but dollars and cents, and that ‘tis but few who will prove themselves friends to the pig that is fast in the fence.

Service and Song. "I am worn with work and watching; my home is humble and lone; why lift up my heart in singing for no human heart but my own?" her notes stirred a passing poet: he sang to a mighty host' and the world is glad and better for the music she counted lost! - George T. Packard in Companion.
F. Girol, Late Chef of Union Club. Table D'Hote 8.00 wine included from 5.30 p.m. 135 West 36th Street, One door west of Broadway. The curtain, before a thrill of rapturous applause, from every row ascending; the actor gives a gracious pause, to those before low bending. Admired of all the ladies rare: what compliments they utter! How many hearts amid the fair are now set in a flutter. The play goes on, the curtain falls upon the act of splendor; each heart emotional recalls its incidents to tender. Oh, sweet the glamour of the scene, with nothing coarse to break it! Imagination rules serene, and fancy's what we make it. Behind. The leading lady just deceased has got a fit of laughter the leading man, from toil released; a sandwich has sent after, the pasteboard rocks are put aside, the lovely sylphs are yawning; the dancing girls in plain clothes hide, no beaux around them fawning. The funny men are scowling now, and he who gold dust scattered upon the scene, with happy brow. Looks doleful now and shattered. And so it is throughout the days of this our life uncertain: to view it truly, you must gaze on both sides of the curtain. – Mark Meredith, in N. Y. Clipper.

An Idyll, they sat beneath the columbine, her head upon his manly breast; he said, "At last you're wholly mine, "You've made my life supremely blest!" She murmured low, "Is that so?" He told her how he'd loved her long, her gentle ways his heart had won; in solitude or busy throng, his thoughts had been of her alone, she whispered "oh! "Is that so?" Not all the mighty space, he swore, of highest heaven and deepest hell, could measure the great love he bore, nor language ever hope to tell! Her face aglow: "is that so?" "But there are spots upon the sun, "and flaws in brightest jewels rare, "Si thou, dear heart, my paragon, "One little fault thy charms impair." Her words are slow, "Is that so?" Then tenderly he adds, "My dear, you know, "To all my ardent love's outery, "You only cackle, ‘Is that so?' "Most brainless, parrotlike reply!" Sweet was her "No? Is that so?" – N. Y. Herald.

Notes of fashion. A very convenient and extremely effective garniture to the bodices of evening gowns if the eight-inch wife ruffle of black net, spangled with silver and with jet. In one pattern the spangles follow horizontal lines, in another they are sprinkled all over the net. A spangled beading finishes the ruffle. Just at this season the very short fur cape, little more than a deep frill finished with a high standing collar, is finding ready sale. This is an excellent finish for the tailor made suit, and it will be worn until well into the warm weather. Chinchilla is a favourite fur for the purpose, and the cape, which in the back is about nine inches deep, is somewhat longer and slightly pointed in front. The white muslin petticoat is here to stay a while, and it is more beautiful than ever. In cut, one of the best models, instead being trimmed with a succession of narrow ruffles graduating in width as they go upwards, begins at the waist line with a ruffle half the depth of the skirt; below this, one equally deep, and quite underneath this again are two narrow frills not in evidence, but designed to give additional fullness. For the above Fashion Notes thanks are due Messrs. B. Altman & Co.

It sounds almost incredible and in these hard times too! And yet that is the actual cost of an instrument recently manufactured by Messrs. Wm. Knabe & Co., the world renowned pianomakers. The instrument which is a full concert grand was made from designs, specially prepared for Messrs. Knabe & Co. by Thomas E. Colcutt, the Noted English architect. The case foundation is of solid rosewood. Around the body of the piano are fourteen panels, representing allegorical musical subjects. The music desk is of satin-wood, inlaid with rosewood, to contrast with the main body of the case. The most beautiful portion of the case is the fallboard or cover. It is of solid rosewood and on it are depicted, by the inlaying of corn colored satinwood, cupids, fauns and nymphs playing upon the lyre of Apollo and the pipes of Pau. The piano is supported by legs of rosewood in colonial designs, surmounted by richly curbed capitals of boxwood, in Corinthian style. This beautiful and artistic case is the worthy abode of the instrument itself, whose tone is a very marvel of velvety richness and singing musical quality. Happy the possessor of so rare a gem, the highest expression of all that is refined and beautiful in the art of the pianomaker. The instrument is on exhibition now at Wm. Kanbe & Co.'s warerooms, 148 Fifth Avenue, and we recommend an inspection of it to all lovers of art and music.

The question. He. I asked her to-day, but she gave me no answer, neither word would she say, though I asked her to-day. In the most approved way of the modern romancer I asked her to-day, but she gave me no answer. She, he has spoken at last, shall I take him or leave him? At my feet he is cast; he has spoken at last, if his hopes I should blast, would it really grieve him? He has spoken at last – shall I take him or leave him. Her Mamma. Is he rich as they say or a penniless masker? I must find out to-day if he's rich, as they say, for she's not said him nay and again he may ask her. Is he rich, as they say, or a penniless masker? - From the Yankee Blade.
