ROUGH ON HER.

While passing through the vale of tears •' one will occasionally seo a curining girl— I one who Beems by • every action, every twitch of the apparel, to say that she knows • it all, and that it would be an impudence for any one to toll her that in ten .years , ' she wUI look back and see what a con--1 founded fool she was in 1885. There was one the other day tripping down Wisconsin street looking as though there was nobody ' else had. any sense but her. She was j beautilully dressed, and carried a parasoL I of many colours, all of which were rod. J Everybody elso was warm, amhhe must t have been, though she didn't show it. A ,• street car was crossing the street, and she walked right up in front of the mules as i impudont as a sumuior resort' hotel waiter that has not been paid the prico of a din--3 ner for bringing it up to you. She was going to cross.- ahead •of the mules, The 3 driver turned the break, the car slackened up, and with a scornful smilo she cleMjd , the track. Just as she passed the HHR of the near .mule, that sagacious beast 5 reached hia head around and took hold of about a - bushel basket 'of green j polonaise that stuck just below her belt, and he raised the female with the circus s. parasol right off her feet, and then dropped • her. She struck on her feet like a cat, and just took two jumps to get to the sideway and a "scarter" girl you never saw. i Her impudence and about half a mouthful of polonaise was gbue. She was a cliangJ ed girl from that-moment, and as she t .closed her parasol and held it over the place where the polonaise was wont to be, and walked towards a millinery foundry ( in a becoming manner, with no percept-. lble wriggle, we thought: ''What poorjj creatures w.e are! Even a mule .can teachf us a thing or : two, if we put on scollops in front of him.
