The Old Woman.

Grey haired and very old was she,
With many a wrinkle whore
The rose and lily once had bloonch,
When LIES Young morn was there.
And often from her dim old eyes
Methought there fell tear
Upon her knitting work, that told
or memories fond and dear.
Aud OF her bosom heaved s!2h,
As from the open door
She watched the little ones al play,
As she had played Of yore.
She knew that cankcring cares would come
To SPOIL the castles fair
Their lille hearts were huiliing high,
For they were built in air.
She had been young; and children dear
She called her own had crrpt
Dehlad her chair 10 'shi!e AMI seek -
No wonder that she vert:
For they were dead, and these brought back
The memory oflhcir tone,
And drew those tears 10 battle the flowers

DEFINING DITTo.-An honest old
farmer, rather ignorant of the improved
method of abbreviation went to a certain
store with which he did his trading, to
make his annual settlement.
On looking over it he occasionally
found charges like the following "Tc
ID Ditto" Not knowing the meaning
Of the term ditto" he concluded that
the account was not correct, and posted
home to inquire into the affair.
Wife," said he, "this is a pretty
business, there is Mr.. - has charged
me with several pounds of ditto. Now
should like to know what you have
done with so much ditto"
"Ditto, ditto Z" replied the old lady.
never had pound Of ditto in my
life"
So back went the farmer in high
dudgeon, that he should be charged with
things he never received.
Z" Mr.. -" said he, "my wife says
she never had a pound of ditto in the
house in her life ="
The merchant thereupon explained
the meaning Of the term, and the farmer
went home satisfied. His wife inquired
If he had found out the meaning of
ditto.
Yes" he replied, it means that
am fool, and you're ditto"
