The wife sat thoughtfally turning over
Abook inscribed NTH the schoolgirls name;
A tear-one tear-fell hot on the cover
She quickly closed when her husband came.
He came, and he went away-it was nothing
With cold, calm words upon either side;
But, just at the sound of the room-door shutting,
dreadful door in her soul stood wide.
Love, she had read of in sweet romances--
Love that could sorrow, but never fail,
Built her own palace of noble fancies,
All the underworld fairy tale.
Bleak and bitter, and utterly doleful,
Spreads to this woman her map of life;
Hour after hour she looks in her SOUL full
Of deep dismay and turbulent strife.
Face in both hands, she knelt on the carpet;
The black cloud loosened. the storm rain fell
D life has so much to wilder and warp it,
One poor hearts day what poet can tellp

There was fellow once stepped out
Of door of q tavern on the Mississ-
ippi, meaning to walk mile up the
shore to the next tavern. Just at the
landing there lay big raft, one of the
regular old fashioned whalers-a raft a
mile long. M
Well, the fellow heard the landlord
say the raft was mile long, and he
said to himself /" / will 60 forth and see
this great wonder, and let my eyes be-
hold the timbers that the hand of man
has hewn." So he got on at the lower
end, and began to ambulate over the
wood i'm pretty fair time. But just as
he got started, the raft started too, and
as be walked up the river, it walked
down, both travelling at the same rate.
When he got to the end of the sticks,
he found they were pretty near ashore,
and in sight of tavern so he landed
and walked right straight into the bar
room he came out of. The general
sameness Of things took him little
aback, but he looked the landlord stea-
Oily in the face, and settled it his own
way.
Publican" said he, "are you gift
ed with. a twin brother, who keeps a SIM
liar sized tavern, with duplicate wife,
a COMFORTING wood pile, and a CORES
ponding circus bill mile from here?''
), The tavern keeper was fond of. fun,
and accordingly said it was just so.
sand, publican, have you among
your dry goods for the entertainment
of man and horse, any whisky of the
same size as that of your brother's?"
And the tavern man said, that from
the rising of the sun even unto the 90
ing down of the same, be had.
They took the drinks, and the stran-
ger said Publican, that twin brother
of yours is fine young mana very
fine man, ineeed. But do you know,
I'm afraid that he suffers a good de al
with the Chicago diptheria!"
"And what's that?" asked the tod
dy-sticker. eT 10 kaef0
