The LAUGH OF WoMEN.-A woman
has no natural gift more bewitching
than a sweet laugh. 1t is like the
sound of flutes on the water. 1t leaps
from her in clear, sparkling rill and
the heart that hears it feels as if bathed
in the cool, exhilarating spring Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by fairy laugh
now here, now there, now lost, now
found? We have; and we are pursu-
ing that wandering voice to this day
Sometimes it comes to US in the midst
of care, or sorrow, or irksome business,
and then we turn away and listen, and
hear it ringing in the room like silver
bell, with power to scare away the evil
spirit of the mind. How much do we
owe to that sweet laugh! 1t turns prose
to poetry; it filings flowers of sunshine
over the darkness of the wood in which
we are travelling; it touches with light
even our sleep, which is no more than
the image of death, but il is consumed
with dreams that are the shadows of
Immortality ity.-Prentice.

EYEs.-A beautiful eye makes 81

makes beauty deformed. The eye

be no deceit nor can a skillful observ-
er be imposed upon by looks, even
among courtiers and women.

TAKE THE PAPERS.

TAKE THE PAPERS.
Why don't you take the papers.
They're the life of my delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe! you cannot lose cent,
Why should you be afraid:
For cash thus paid is money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for it is inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.
An old neighbor of mine.
While dying with cough.
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going off.
I took the paper and read
Of some new pills in force;
He bought box-and he is dead.
No-hearty as horse!
l knew two men, SO much alike
As e'er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than a kings;
His children all can read and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood.
A tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him" very good"
Had he been reading. of the news,
At home like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers.
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with his printer, too.
