A QUARREL IN THE STREET.
About ten o'cloch one morning two men met and began threatening and calling each other names. One finally called the other a liar, and the two were about to grapple, when a woman opened the door and said—
" Gentlemen are you about to fight ? " "We are ! " they answered together. " Then have the kindness to wait a moment," she continued. "My husband has been sick for weeks, and is now just able to sit up. He is very downhearted this morning ; and if you'll only wait till 1 can draw him up to the window, I know he'll be very grateful to you both." She disappeared into the hoaise and after one look into each other's f.ice the men smiled, shook hands and departed together.
