On last Saturday coach was WAITING at a la+o
hour of the night, the Park of ST. Cloud ON the
SeVre side There are always on Saturdays large
number of citizens who fear or are too late for ~
railroad and of this class the ingenious coaehman
speculate, bringing their coaches, accdentlv. of
course, in the path which leads to the station
The coachmen never depart until they have secu
red the four necessary to fill their seats
and they their right.
The excellent comedian c., of the Canadian,
Franchise, having dined too late at the house IF
friend at Sevres, found that the last train had left
when he reached the station of Montretout and no.
ticing facre near, he said to the coachman:
Will you set out immediately 81
for four places"
How much q
"Twenty francs"
"lt is too DEAR
"Well get in, the three other passengers' said
the coachman, will not be long in coming"
The actor determined to punish, by a trick the
exorbitant pretensions of the coachman. He enter
ed the COACH with the Eghtness and agility of a
young man the cOachman closed the door and pa
zed down the SeVres road to watch the arrival of the
three other passengers.
While the coachman was making his observations
C opened the other door of the facre and glded
out in the dark; leaving his overcoat, and making
long circuit, he presented himself limping to the
cOachman, and in cracked voice, demanded if he
was going soon.
Immediately" said the cOachman; I" you are Sec
ond and two others will soon come"
c. mounted painfully into the carriage; the
door closed, and the other door opened without
noise. The third disguise was that of an old man.
C. had all the masks and all the voices at his
disposition.
"Sir," said the coachee to the pretended old man,
" | will set out Immediately You the third, the
fourth passenger is in the house. just getting his hat

the coachman, with a triumphant air, g jump in and

Love and Philosophy.

BY ALFRED EVELYN.
You see that lady sitting there l?
Ten years ago 1 thought her fair,
And ravcd and rhymed about her;
carved her name on every tree,
And such was my absurdity-
Though l should die without her,
l thought no eyes could be so bright,
thought no teeth could be so white
No angel could surpass her
So sweet was each melodious tone,
Her shape so perfect, and SO shone,
Her ringlets, with Macassar.
My heart and soul were in blaze,
taxed my brains to sing her praise,
In scores of plantive couplets,
And taxed pocket scarce of cash,
Before her door to cut dash,
In rufHed shirts and doublets.
The withered flowers she cast aside,
The strings with which her shoes she tied,
With tender care boarded;
And thought that / was we'll repaid,
For many a cold nights serenade,
If she smile accorded.
How wretched did feel at last
When, like a WORKOUT glove, she cast
Me and my hopes aside;
Three weeks from that she changed her name,
And-oh the misery-became
Old Brown, the Grocers bride.
A man of twice her age and mine,
At whose expense our wit would shine
For oft we quizzed the spooneys;
had my labor for my pain,
Wealth was an overmatch for brains,
Old Brown had lands and money.
l marvel at my madness now!
Time has been busy with his plough,
Behold that cheek-how wrinkled
Her eyes are stony a flint
Her step has little music int
Her hair with grey is sprinkled.
think she must weigh twenty stone,
Her sylph-like ariness is gone,
And like a duck she waddles
laugh to think upon the past,
Yet Love such spell has ever cast,
On human hearts and noodles.
A word to those who lose prize
And mourn the loss-just turn your eyes
Upon the Lady's mother;
The object of your hopes and fears,
Will be in less than twenty years,
Exactly such another.
Philosophy has no such cure,
The sight will teach you to endure
And like a pail of water,
Twill cool your fiery passion down:
Discarded, you will smile not frown,
Nor die to lose the daughter.
