CLOVER BLOSSOMS.

There's a modest little blossom
Blooming closely to the ground,
While its wealth of sweetest perfume
Thrills through all the air around.
White aud pure field of clover,
In the sunny summer day,
Brings calm my spirit over,
Sweet as music far away.
In the rich mans terraced garden
Many a fair exotic twines;
Many a gaily tinted flower
Meath the glossy foliage shines.
By the poor mans lowly cottage,
Violets sweetest odors yield
Yet | love the air of freedom
Blowing from clover field.
Lilies in the Valley growing,
Roses in their blushing pride,
These may wreathe their regal beauty,
Fifty for the youthful bride.
Laurel wreaths may suit the poet,
Forest flowers may lure the child
l would only ask the clover,
Meek and modest, brave and mild.
Little cares my hardy flower,
Though the soil be poor and dry;
Blooming by the dirty wayside,
Blessing all who pass thereby.
Let me learn the gentle lesson,
Even in my lowlY way,
Working braveiy, like the clover,
In the sultry summer day.

Your FARE, MIss.-A young lady
from the rural districts lately entered a
city railroad car. Pretty soon the con.
ductor approached her and said;
"Your fare, Miss"
She blushed and looked confused, but
said nothing. The conductor was rather
as.oui.hed at this, but ventured to remark
once more:
Your fare, Miss"
This time the pink en- her cheeks deep
ened TO carnation, as the rustic beauty
replied:
"Well, if I am good lookiu, you hadu't
ought ter say it out loud afore folks
The passengers in the car roared With
laughter, aud her loser at once settled
the fare.
