A Pretty Home Song.

Now thrust my thmble in it's case,
And store the spOols away,
And lay the muslin rolls in place;
My task is done to day.
For, like the workman's evening bell,
A sound hath met my ears,
The gate-clink by the street doth tell
Papa hath come, my dears;
Bear off the toy box from The floor,
For yonder chair make room;
And up, and breathe his welcome home,
For tits the twilight hour of Joy,
When homes best pleasures rally;
And | will clasp my darling boy,
While papa romps with Allie.
There, take the hat and gloves, and bring
The slippers, warm and soft,
While bounds the babe, with laugh and spring
In these loved arms aIoft,
And let each nook some comfort yield
For him whose firm, strong hands shall shield
The household gods from harm.
Our love shall light the gathering gloom,
For Ger all earthly hope,
We cherish first the Joys of home,
A glad rejoicing group.
And through the twilight hour Of Joy,
We turn from toll to daily
With the young dreams of life, my boy,
And gaily fondle Allie.

A little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the best of men.

An editor ''west'' says that he had hoped
to be able to present marriage and a death
as original matter for his coIumns--but p
thaw broke up the wedding, and the doctor
fell sick, SO the patient recovered.
At Printers Festival, typo delivered
himself of the following Womea--the
fairest work of nature the edition being
large, let no man be without q copy. Ba-
bies--Mnature editions, issued periodically,
and displayed in SHALL CAPS.
The boy who undertook to ride horse
radish, is now practising on a saddle of nut
ton, without stlrrups.
An ancient and exceedingly simple method
of book kkeeping is-to keep all the books
you lay your hands on.
Here is a good practical conundrum--ic
touches the case pointedly: Why is four
cent sugar, like man that never sur
renders? Because it is clear grit and no
thing else.
GRAPHIC AND oRCIBLE.--Alountains arc
considerably up and down in Vermont. 1t
is related that coachman driving up one,
was asked if it was as steep on the other
side. 'Steep!' he answered, ''chain light
ming couldn't go down without brcechin'
onp'
A HARD ONE.-If call the worlds stage,
and men and women merely players" where
is the audience and orchestra to come from.
That's sumner.
A FAcr.--Remember that the human con-
stitution is one that cannot be amended bya
two thirds vote.
EcoNoNY.--A sound economy is sound
understanding brought into action. 1t il
proportion reduced TO practice. 1t is the
foreseeing contingencies and proyining a
gainst them.,lHannah More.
SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING --"Havo you
Blasted Hopes ?'' asked lady of q green Il
brarian, whose face was much swollen by
the toothache. s'No, ma'am," replied tho
youth, "but Pve got blasted toothache.''
| subscribe for Diekens's Household Wordsn'
asked a sombre magazine agent. sHouse-
/ hold words have played the dickens with me
long enough!'' was the feeling reply. Tho
agent absconded.
An ECCENTRIC BiRD.--We cut the follow
ing from a country exchange. The bird re-
| ferred to must be one Of Blitz's :--"Tho
seoundrel who took the canary with a pug
nose, red face, and light overcoat on, IS
requested to return it Immediately to No. 20
1 Willow street, as the bird is a valuable on
from whom no questions will be asked"
SLANG PHRAsEs.--Among the many bye
words that are used now a-days, that have
great popularity CD or are still in vogue, are
The exclanations--s'Let er rip,'' s'Nothine
shorter" ''Over the left" shan't do any
thing else" &c. We recently heard ayoang
lady ofthis city use this latter phrase in a
very ridiculous manner. She had beauti-
fnl and very snowy ring on her finger. A
friend asked Ter if she intended to wear it.
