NEAR THE LAKE WHERE DROOP.
ED THE WILLOW.

Near the Lake where dropped the willow,
Long time ago,
Where the rock throws back the billow,
Brighter than snow
Dwelt maid beloved and cherished,
BY high and low;
But with autumns leaf she persisted,
Long time ago!
Rock. and tree, and flowing water,
Long time ago
Bird, and bee, and blossom taught her
Loves spell to know,
While to my fond words she listened
MurmuriDg low,
Tenderly her dove eyes glistcned,
Long time ago!
Mingled were our hearts forever.
Long time ago!
Can now forget her? Never.
No, lost one! mol
10 her grave these tears are given,
Ever to flow
She's the star missed from Heaven,
Long time ago!

PRAISE YOUR WIFE.

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS sake, give
her little encouragement; it won't hurt her.
She has made your home comfortable, your
hearth bright and shining, your food agreea.
BILE; for PHYS sake, tell her You thank her, Il
nothing more. She don't expect it; it will
make her eyes open wider than they have Tor
these ten years: but it will do her good for
all that. and you too.
There are many women to-day thirsting lot
the word of praise, the language OF encourage
ment. Through summers heat and winter
toll they have drudged uncomplainingly, and
so accustomed have their fathers brothers and
husbands become to their monotonous labors
that they look for and upon them as they do
the daily rising of the sun and its daily going
down. Homely every day life may be made
beautiful by an appreciation of its very home
illness. You know that if the floor is clean,
manual labor has been performed to make it
so. You know that if you can take from your
drawer clean shirt whenever you want it,
somebody's fingers have ached in the toll OF
making it so fresh and agreeable, so smooth
and lustrous Everything that pleases the eye
and the sense has been produced by constant
work, much thought, great care, and untiring
efforts bodily and mentally
1t is not that many men do not appreciate
these things, and feel glow of gratitude for
the numberess attentions bestowed upon them
in sickness and in health, but they are 50 self
ish in that feeling. They don't come out with
hearty "Why, how pleasant you make thing
look, wife, or, :" / am obliged to you for tax
ing so much palms, They thank the tailor fol
giving them fits" they thank the man in The
full omnibus who gives them seat; they thank
the young lady who moves along in the con
cert room; in short, they thank everybody ant

NoRrrI CARolISA-Trayelling on the cars

"Why SOP asked several
"They cut 'em off to prevent them knocking
off the huckleberries when they're chasing fox

"Phew!" came from listener
Fact, certain as rain; and you never see q

What thenW asked some one.

"And, I'll tell you another thing" he con
tinued; they have to bell their little nigger4
there, just as we do our cows"
"What for?"
So their owners can tell which gopher hole
they're in"
A general scream followed this-the cal
screamed, and we all jumped off at M.
Hope we will see Bat again
