Fannie,' said Judge Clifton to his
daughter. one morning. laying down the
paper, over the top of which he had been
for some time intently regarding her,
come hither, my child
Fannie very dutifully did as she was
hidden. And as she stood by his side,
the Judge took both of her small hands
in one Of his. and smoothing caressingly
with the other her softshining hair, look
ed tenderly into her face.
You are woman, now, Fannie, said
he.
Eighteen last Christmas, papa re-
turned Fannie, demurely, trying to as.
sumo the dignity and gravity which be.
long that mature age. Though to tell
the truth. they looked strangely out Of
keeping with her slight form and girlish
face. and in spite Of all her efforts, hel
rosy mouth would dimple with smiles,
and her eyes. wear the arch. saucy ex.
preston that was natural to them.
rfCan it be possible Y exclaimed the old
gentleman, heaving deep sigh. How
time does go, to be sure You are a
year older than your mother was when
married her.
Well. well, he resumed. after pause,
taking off his spectacles, and after wip-
ing them carefully, re-adjustcd them on
his nose. I suppose I must come to il
sometime, and it may as well be first as
last. All fathers have to lose theil
daughters. and ] suppose l shall have tc
make up my mind to lose you.'
Lose me. papa Z exclaimed Fannie,
opening her eyes IN astonishment. WHY
what do you mean? hope that am
not going to die yet awhile.

For shame, papa. said Fannie. blush

OF course not returned the Judge
dryly. Never had such an idea in al
the course Of your life, / dare say. Could
not % persuaded to do anything SO high
ly improper.
But what put that idea into you

Our Member of COngrcss-Appearance
Sometimes Doubtful and Annoying.

- ~~ss>>
Our present worthy member of Con-
gress is well known to be (although at
the same time, quite ladies man, one
of the plainest and most homespun dres-
sed members of our Northern State, and
although not celebrated for his extraor-
dinary personal beauty, is yet celebrated
for his sterling and enterprising spirit,
and by his mild manners, exerts an cleo
trical influence over the male and female
sex. He lately determined to make trip to
Iowa City on public business. and as he
never dresses up, even when in ladies'
company, neither does he dress up when
be goes abroad, and if people don't find
him out. he makes no endeavors to find
them oat. and in the language of Banks,
one of his great political g Gods" he
lets 'em Slide" But to the story
When he got to Davenport he was rec
ognised by one of the main officers, who
at once said to the Board, "IIe is the
Member of Congress from the Northern
District, and as good stroke of policy,
we should give him free pass" Itwas
no sooner said than done. As he was
about starting, a pass for year was ten
dered he. He returned his thanks, and
the usual exchange of courtesies took
place. After speeding along awhile, and
while enjoying good comfortable ohaw
of tobacco, the Conductor came to him
with the usual cry of g Tickets, Sir. -
Our Hon. Member fumbled awhile in his
pockets, and finally produced the :" Pass
The Conductor glanced at it, then took
long scrutinising glance at the owner,
and exclaimed, "You old ST, you
don't pretend to say to me that you are a
member Of Congress. do yous" Com
pletely taken back by this exclamation,
our worthy Member said in haste, ssWell
how much is it anyhow ?'' and pulled
out his pocket book. The conductor
told him, and the necessary "Pewter"
was handed over, and he said. /" Well
now have great notion to put you of
the cars anyhow. Do you think that any
decent looking man would take you for a
Member of Congress % The Congress
man sat dumbfounded. and did not re,
cover his thoughts till he saw another
Hon., when he asked him what have
done to Cook at Davenport, to play such
a trick on me as to give me ticket
through, and not make me known to tht
Conductors always dress the same
way, and if | was to get new suit, my
wife would not know me, and | would
rather she would know me than con
founded one horse Railroad, whose Con
ductors Judge men by their dress mor'
than their real merits" Doubtless wher
he comes back they will know him. He
is a lice man. and no dead head, and w,
have more such left up this way, wht

For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,

And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Money May,
Don't every body know the way !?
It goes for bonnets, coats and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, grapes,
Shawls, Ribbons, furs and furbelows--
And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Money 9-Sure.
wish the ways were something fewer;
It goes for wages, taxes, debts,
1t goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paint, pomade and eau-de-rose--
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Money Now,
I've scarce begun to mention how;
1t goes for laces, feathers, rings,
Toys, dolls-and other baby things,
Whips, whistles, candies, bells and bows
And that's the way the Money goes
How goes the Money Come,
know it doesn't 60 for rum;
1t goes for schools and Sabbath chimes,
It goes for charity-Sometimes,
For missions, and such things rs those
And that's the way the Money goes!
How goes the Money 9-There,
I'm out of patience, ] declare /;
It goes for plays, and diamond-pins.
For public aims, and private sins,
