As for this feeling of demoralisation, it invariably per- vidos me when once I have discharged the ardusar, polite duty of susing people, "eff" am limp, fatigued, and a little cared. Were 1 a typical stout clubman, I should tare foto my club library, push a vel arm-chair into a quiet -corner-and sleep. Did my home lie close at bind, I might return there, draw the blinds, and go to bad. However, no tome at hand. It is a long, long way off-and. I am too taart to underate the journey, too weak in mind to determke what else to do with my vague self. Once off the platform and after 1.osing Irresolutely about me, 1- vlair ou automatic machine and buy anotches. But that balps me not : I remain oniospited, spiritlers, and (ks.

SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS.

Thus have I passed five-and-ihlity minutes in Charing Cross since the 2.30 train departed such is the lamentable state of inesita I have fallen into (brough seeing people "off" Fancy, in these streduous, desperate days, spending thirty-five minutes in a railway station, doing rohing!

But enough I am so little of a "hustler," that, as i have already recorded, I cannot even summon op Lc energy to return home. Still, 'ns 1 glance about me, l'perceiva with satisfac- tion that I am rol the only loiterer under the clock. With me, quite a dozen gentlemen, who birollo and fro, stare hard at the advertisements, swing theirsticks, curl their moustaches, straight en theirties, "shoot" their cuffs, All of them have dressed with care; all of them appear em- „barrassed and self-conscious; and all of them, as they ptiambulate, avoid one acother's eye. I notice, too, that every few minutes they con- sult the watches. And at last it downs upon me that these twelve gentlemen, just as in the *agony" advertisements rud in ponny nav. elettes, have made or have been given appolat. ments "Under the Click," and that herein lies the secret of their extreme alegauce and seif-consciousness.

Thus, twelve appointments--and probably as many romancer, affalics de cor.

And she doesn't comet although iwelve wat chan go ticing and ticking in twelve waistcoat poc cts, and the great minute bands of the station cloc moves on and on, and the face of this gallant assumes a grim expression, and the Imouth and hands of a. fellow-sufferer twitch convulsively, and the eyes of a third victim 'must be sching and smarting from their pro lenged starching conte: plation of the many entrances to the station. No, she cometh not; and I'facey the consternation of our twelve gentlemen affords inficile satisfaction to three or four elderly hard fastured ladies who are seated on a bench nearly "Under the Clock, and who have been watching the perambuls. tions of the gallants with unconcealed bitter- Deer and dust.

TEBIOTAL LORD MAYOR.

Forthe Arst time in ksy u years' history the City Corporation is to bava a tattotal Lard Mayor next year. Yes, there never was an- other! said Sir Vepey Strong, the gentlenian who broke this anciest record when he sac. ceeded to the Lord Mayoral dignity on Septem- ber 19. It's a bold departure, he added--if

should happen. For you must not forget that i am merely a dardidate for the office. Thes are probably five or six other candidates; and the choice rests absolutely with the Livery of thl City-which numbers no fewer than 8,000 voters to say which of the candidates shall be elected to this ancient office.
