When You and I were Young.

When the stars Of love were shining,
In the golden summer eve,
A maiden, softly smiling
On the gan lands she did Weave,
Stood in the dewr light;
Nor watched the coming night;
For the Star Of love shona bright
When you and were young.
And the gentle smile grew softer,
And the fingers idly wove,
For she knew The voice beside her
Had no other tone than love,
And the happy tears would rise
In the maiden's pleasant eyes,
AS she locke! into the skies,
When you and were young.
Long years have cast their shadows
Since YOU and were young
But the untried love | pledged thee
Is pure as when il sprung,
And thy wIiDklcd brow as fair,
and thy pleasant eyes as clear,
Aal thy loyal helrl az Ear,
As when you and [ were young.
The sun is fast departing,
And the aatuml leaves are scar,
And the wintry twili@hts gathers
On the silver Of my hair;
But hold thy hand in mine,
And the star Of love will shine
n the darkness, till the time
When we reach the Happy Cline,
And we again are young.

who had no regard for his stomach had

Il hair Of his head, nor lay straw

a "PINCHIN' TINE GETTING INTO
THE SHow.-One Of the Wisconsin
lobby at the Chicago Convention, anx-
ious to see the show from the gallery
OF the Wigwam, tried to pass the door
keeper, when he was informed that no
gentleman could enter unless accom-
panied by lady. Not to be blufftd,
he waited the entrance of an apple wo-
man and undertook to pass himself in
under her protection. The doorkeepei
informed him that that dodge had been
"playcd out'' at an early stage Of the
game. Back went our perseycrlng
friend and waited until the impractical
bic doorkeeper had had time to forget
him, and then, closely followed a re-
markably we'll dressed female, he light
~ grasped her shawl, and for the
third time presented himself for admiS-
sion. Hold on, sir. you can't go in
said the doorkeeper. "Well, then, let

to trust her III there among all those
rufians, alone - Indignantly exclaimed
our friend. "Is that your wife % ask

Wisconsin" The doorkeeper turned
the we'll dressed female around, and
exhibited to the Mortified gaze of our
friend the repulsive lineaments Of a

took the first train for Madison.-Mad

SEVENTEEN YEAR LocUsTs. The
people in the Eastern Middle States
are locking for the locusts, in about 4
week. A writer in the Newark Id
uertiso3' says:
"If the month shall be warm one,
as seems just now likely, the seventeen
year locusts may be expected the last
week of May. A cold snap may make
them a week later. The last time of
their appearance here, 1913, a few
were seen about the Goth of May; but
a cold snap happening Just then, the
first adventnrers perished, and the main
body did not appear above ground till
the Sd Of June. Some pleasant eve
ning the liver colored grubs will be
seen in countless numbers from their
snbtcrranean abodes Of seventeen
years Crawling upon some tree, fence
or bush, they will fix the old shell
thereto by It's claws, escape during the
dews Of night through a slit in the
back, and unfold their wings before
sunrise. This is an important point,
as those whose wings fail to unfold be-
fore the sun comes to dry them, will
remain as hopelessly crippled as the
lnckless First Angel of Moore's charm
ing poem. Thenceforward there will
be a grand concert of instrumental mu-
sic, by millions Of performers all over
the country, at no other cost than a
severe wholesale pruning Of the trees.
Those if any, who are incredulous, will
see, hear, and believe"
