A TICKLISH MOMENT.

li* to act cleverly on the spot is the ! measure of tact, then the man who J figures in the subjoined story deserves both respect and admiration. [ A woman drivino- through the Wai- ; kato lately noti'-ed .-ndd- niy that her h<>rs? limped a hit, .so when she reached the next viilaire die stopped at the door of r. blacksmith's shop. A man was holding up the doorpost, and to him she said : "Will ynn p'eis" tell the blacksmith to come out ? I want to see him." After the manner of the village idler, the man did not stir, but smiled sweetly at the woman and, lifting up his voice, called : "Bill eonio out! There's a lady wants to see yon.'-' From the depths of the blacksmith'. l ? shop a deeper voice r;jare r l : ■l.s she young, John, or old?" In the words of the old poem, "she looked at John, and John looked at her."' Then, .still without moving, he answered:— "You'll be satisfied, Bill., when you get out." A woman's lips are the beautiful gateway to her soul.—G. B- Burgin.
