To-day is my thirty-ninth birthday, yet
no one suspects me Of being so old. Thus
far have called myself ten years younger

] don't see but can keep my good looks q
long time to come.
met Lucy Jones in the street to-day. She
looked as old Us the hills. One could see at
glance that she wore false hair. remember
being told, when very small, that she became
twelve years old the very day was born -
Yet, to-day, among other things, she believed
that she and | were about the same age. |
told her she was mistaken, and that on the
contrary there was a. difference of twelve
so old? shouldn't haze thought it." was
provoked enough and gave her piece of my
mind, at which she went off in high dudgcon,
muttering that the Smiths never were famed
for their politcncss.
We had new minister to preach for us
yesterday. | wonder il he's marredp He's
rather elderly, to be sure, but perhaps none
too much so. think should make a good
minister's wife. However, don't know us
should accept him il he offered himself, tho
it's we'll enough for ono to have two. strings
TO her bow.
Last evening received call from Deacon
Grimes-a wealthy widowcr. He stopped
nearly an hour, and began to feel that had
made q very favorable impression on him, cs-
pecially when after some hesitation, he told
me he had proposal to make to me. tho't
he intended to propose to make me Mrs.
Grimes, and my heart beat fast. After long
pause he went on to say he had noticed niy
neat and orderly habits, and, that as he was
il need Of n house-kecpcr, he thought would
suit him better than any one else he knew
was astounded, and as soon as ! found out
what he meant informed him that uone Of
the Smiths had ever stopped to so mental an
occupations and couldn't accommodate him.
At party given by the Simpsons the other
evening" n young gentleman, who was speak.
lag Of the war Of 1912, asked me If didn't
remember it. told him ought not to be
expected to remember things which happened
fifteen or twenty years before was born.
Next summer, | expect to visit Washing
ton, and, rs hear Mr. Buchanan isn't mar
ried, shall manage to be introduced to him.
If should succeed, there's no knowing what
may happen. Wouldn't Lucy Jones envy me
ii she heard was about to become the wife
of the President of the United States?
II / shouldn't be able to get married before
the year is out, shall turn spiritualist and
80 around giving trance lectures. Should this
course prove the means of my gaining a good
husband, | shall think that spirituaism is
productive Of much good.

THE TWO ARMIES.

As Lifc's amending Column pours,
Two mArshaled hosts are seen
Two armies ON the trampled shores
That Death flows back between.
One marches to the drum beats roll,
The wide mOnthcd clariOn's bray,
And bears upon the crimson scroll,
"Our glory is 10 STAY"
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad yet watchiul eyes.
Calm as thu patient pl,tn-t'S gletiil
That walks the clUudcd skies.
Along its front no sabrcs shine,
No blood red pennonS wave;
Its banner bears the single line,
Our duty is " save"
For those no dcath-bed's lingering shade
At llOnur'S trumpet, call ,.-.-----.-.-...-,.
With knitted brow and lifted blade
In GlOrys arms they fall.
For these no clashing f,lchions bright,
No stirring batilecry;
The Goodless stabber calls at night
Each answers, " Here AM | 80
For those the sculptnrs marble bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems pcaling DER their dust
Through long cathedral alsles.
For these the blossom-spriuklrd turf
That floods the lonely graves,
When Spring rolls in her sea green surf
In howery loaming waves,
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning life-drop's flow.
Each falling tear Of Love.
Though from the 'IIero's bleeding breast
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
SpTang from that SCARLET dew
While Valor's naughty champions wait
Till ail their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallcnged thro' the gate,
To all beside the Throne

THE GRASS WIDOW.
BY PODIIAMMER.

The grass widow (ridm grdmihed) is one oi
the most formidable and rapaciouS of birds oi
prey. llcr natural food is man. The origin
of this name, grdss-widOw, ia doubtful, but
probably refers to the Scriptural truism
that all flesh is grass" and derives addition.
al appropriateness from the fact that she usu.
ally selects her victims from the greenest oi
the species.
ThrgraSS widow abounlS in New York, and
makes her nest chiefly in boarding houses and
hotels. Indeed, she would seem 10 be a natur.
al appcndagc to these establishments. Ont Oi
twenty five boarding houses in which have
lived, twenty-five contained one or more grass.
widows. This choice Of dwelling place is
doubtless owing to the facilities it affords for
her preditOry operations, as boarding. houses
abound in men in their most dcfcnScleSs con.
dition.
The grass widow is rarely without prctcn
sionS to personal beauty; but, when this is
lacking, she is seldom ut loss to supply the
deficiency by a variety Of ingenious arts in
which she is skilled. Her plumage is some.
times sad-colorcd, but more often gaudy; and
she dcvotes no end of pains to its decoration
and arrangement
There is in the species remarkable unifor.
nifty Of age The grass.widow sometimes
cOnleSscS to thirty years, but is more usually
twenty five. One of them has to my knowl
edge, been exactly thirty for the past twelve
years. Another was twenty-five fifteen years
ago, and ] learned yesterday that she is now
just twenty
The manner in which tho grass-widOw cap.
lures her prey especially deserves notice.
She is usually partial to Young New York
which partiality doubtless results from the
surprising case with which he is taken; though
it is bynO means rare to see grizxlcd whiskerl
and bald heads among the debris Of her vic
tins. Having made her selection, she pro

Whether these notes arc plaintivc or gay, they

LIFE WEARY.
BY NARY KYLE DALLAS.


There's splash in the wcedy waves that sweep
Round the old wharf's cruInb!ing side,
And u slender form in mOurnerS Rarb
Is tossed On the turbid tide.
There is ready mid by the rivers brink
. From hearts that are true and brave;
hut the weary life in that wretched breast,
Thank heaven they cannot save;
There is one less form in the home Of shame
One more in the pauper'S grave.
Maiden, beautiful, young, and gay,
Mntron oi virtue high,
Ic who would gather your fobes away
From her touch, as she passed you by,
Come with no scOrn upon your lip
No pride on your Draw or eye, -
And gaze on her who So early put
I.iics goblet Of wOrlnw0od BY;
And will tell you tale Of wo
That shall bid you weep and sigh.
In the crowded cty's dust md din
In pOvcrtyS yS drcary home,
Where the fresh free breeze Of the summer fair
Might never, thi iReTer come, -
She iuiled in the close and crowded room,
Morning, and noon, and night,
Yet sh" was born where the roses bloom,
And the skies are blue and bright;
Aud her spirit pined for the open air,
And sichcn'd for sweet sunlight.
She was Young, and boasted form as fair
As th' cblld Of u belted CARL
Yet her garb was tattered and her feet were barC
Aud II wealth of golden curl
Was the only covering for brow
AS pure and pale ns pearl.
.-----' -----'-....
Still her soul was void Of n stain Of sin,
Her mind of ~ thought impure
And peace lay lucd on her lily breast,
r Like dove in its nest secure,
Who drcameth not that the fowler's head
L. busy with net and lure:
Till ono whose every burning vein
Ran red with the blood Ot youth,
Whose passion knew not Of check or rein
Whose conscience was void Of ruth,
Had mirr0rcd his glance on the eye as blue
As the sky of n sumner day,
And with WHISPERED praise, and VOWS untrue,
And the charms that an angel might have owned
We're the TOYS Of a deIn0n's pIay.
Oh! beauty, thou art bitter boon
To- poor and fricndlcSs girl;
A curse to HER is the crimson cheek,
And the glcam of each glossy curl,
For that which were she the child Of wealth,
by fortune and friends caressed,
Would make her the pride Of some happy home
Eut lights the pa,h Of the lustfnl love
Which bami>hcth peace and rest.
She was 'rcft Of friendship, and 'rcft IL love
Of kindred and kindreds carc
What wonder she gTaspcd ut the prOHered feast,
For the hungered heart she bare;
For the drAughts Of kindness, 80 cool and fresh,
In this fevered world of care;
For the fattcring whispers that are SO sweet
What wonder She tancicd each false VOW true.
And fell in III. telnp,cr'n snare,
Weep for her, angels pure md blcst,
In your glorious home above,
For there Is no grief like the bitter woe
OF one who is lightly loved.
