VERY REASONABLE OBJECTIONS.
P2aintive Statement of q Man ,0ho Didn't Want
to be either Married or
Murdered.

The infelicities and frequent separations OF
the married at Chicago, seem to have caus-
ed horror of matrimony among the oachelo5
fraternity in that city, which is well Illustrated
by the disgraceful means taken by one BurbarK
to break off an engagement made When ne was
drunk He told his own story in court Wnere
he appeared to have the big brothers =, Oh
his affianced one put under bonds to keep Cno
peace towards him.
Until a week ago. your honor was engag-
ed to be married to Sally, the sister OF the prls-
oners. [ will not speak i'll Of her, though we
are enemies now for it is owing to my engage
ment that | took the pledge and am SOBER
man. You see I was drunk when proposed
and was accepted. That showed me to what
liquor could bring man, and at once TOOK
the pledge. | was engaged to her Tor tnree
months, and during that time l did my duty
| visited her daily, took her to places OF amuSe,
ment, and told her sweet lies. In tact olo
everything required except to name the mar
riage day. In that l procrastlnated.
She insisted that we should be married at
once she had sworn she would be married at

fore Mary b, and she would be- l. be-

be drunk when visiting Sally eight days ago.
She had some friends with her in the parlor,
and that pleased me. | kissed her and tired to
kiss them, male and female. Then L told her
in a hic-coughy way that had been unable to
get the false hair she wished-that 1t cost too
much. That did the business.
Indignant at thus, apparently, having her
dearest secrets exposed to the young ladies' and
gentlemen there, she angrily told me to go
that must never come near her again. Be-
lieve me, Judge, l was happy to hear
it, and three days afterwards | received note
from her, telling me she was sick and wished
to see me. Not being a doctor, stayed away.
The-next day received a similar note; my
answer was the same. Then | received note
telling me l was a faithless brute and cruel
wretch; and she had two big brothers, Il knew
it, and they would at once avenge her woun-
ded honor and broken heart by beating me-

theirs.

peace they can also keep their sister Sally
They have said they would kill me.
Justice You are right in having them ar

Of $500 to keep the peace. As for you, your
conduct has been disgraceful. The name of
my first love was Sally, and no one shall go
back on that name. You are fined SIS"

A certain green customer, who was a stran-

and seeing his own reflection, he said:

Getting no answer from the dumb reflection

An incident recently occurred at Yale which
we think goes far to establish as a fact that
"the world moves" A Yale alumnus of
twenty years standing recently returned, after
a long absence, to visit his alma mater, and
was very courteously received and "shown
round " by Prof T. After having exhibi-
ted to his guest most of the modern improve
ments, the Professor said to him:
You have now seen, believe, all that is
new in the institution, except the gymnasium.
Come let's go up there, and l will roll string
of tenpins with you.
"What, sir p exclaimed the guest, starting
back in real or simulated astonishment.
why" exclaimed the Professor, 1--WE have
like to go there and roll a string of tenpins
with you, sir !"
"Tenpins" cried the alumnus, with CLEAN
of malicious fun in his eye; why sir, was
expelled from the college for rolling tenpins u

THE TRUNDLE- BED.-Th balmiest sleep we
ever experienced was when we were nesting in
the old trundle-bed with curly headed brother
Just turned out of the parent nest to make room
for new customer. But trundle-bed dreams
were soon at an end, for when the. next custo-
mer came we were crowded out of the trundle-
bed to make room for the next that was turn
ed out of the parent nest, and so they kept al,
ternating for years, until we were fairly turned
out into the world.
OF where are the little heads that we have
kissed thousand times Ger as they nestled
in the old trundle-bed? Some of them have
grown old and gray, and others are resting
upon their everlasting pillow in widely separa-
ted lands.

A vessel arrived at San Francisco the other

at such ridiculous prices that the custom au-

POET r Y
A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.

~
The surging sea of human life
Forever onward rolls,
Bearing to the eternal shore
Each day its freight Of souls;
But though our bark sails bravely on,
Pale Death sits at the PROV,
And few shall know ever lived,
hundred years from now.
Oh, mighty human brotherhood,
Why fercely and strive,
While Gods great world has ample space
For everything alive2
Broad fields, uncultured and unclaimed,
Are waiting for the plough
OF progress, that shall make them bloom
hundred years from now.
Why should we toll so earnestly
In life's short narrow span,
On golden stair to climb so high
Above our brother manp
Why blindly at an earthly shrine
Our souls in homage bowf
Our gods will rust ourselves be dust,
"A hundred years from now.
Why prize so much the worlds applausef
Why dread so much its bamef
A heetng echo is its voice,
OF censure Of fame;
The praise that thrills the heart. the scorn,
That dyes with shame the brow,
Will be as long-fOrgotten dreams
hundred years from now.
Earth's empires rise and fall, o Timel
Like breakers thy shore,
They rush upon thy rocks Of DOOM
Are seen-and seen more
The starry wilderness Of worlds
That gem nights radient brow
VIII light the skies for other eyes,
hundred years from
o Thou before whose sleepless eyes
The past and future stand
An open page, like babes we cling
To thy protecting hand;
Change, SORROW, death, are naught to us,
II we may safely bow
Beneath the shadow Of thy throne,
A hundred years from now
