True Politeness.

Lay siege to the heart of the maiden you
love,
And, after the manner of noodles,
Pen poems, and style her your darling and
dove;
Pay court TO her brothers and poodles.
Give presents, and when you are scorned
and refused,
In way that you cannot think hatters,
Say sweetly, as II to such things you were
used,
You don't think 1t anyway matters.
A picnic get up for party of swells,
And after you've fioated the bubble,
Get cut by the fellows and spuhbed by the
bellies
And thanks it you can, for your trouble I;
Reduce your finances 10 much below par;
And then, rs if nothing alloyed It,
Stand up unabashed, like the hero you are,
And swear that you've really enjoyed IT.
Go bond for the chum of your bosom and
youth,
peiisSe in his friendship, his honor, and
truth,
And lend him one-hAlf your possessions
And when (as Il matter of course, twill be
fall,)
You're diddled and done beyond measure
Assert to have shown him service at all,
Has brought you the greatest oil pleasure
Give glorious dinners, send out and invite
Your friends, and do all that you're able
To make your CUISINE give those present de
light;
And when, as you sit at the table,
You're badgered and sneered at by each wht
sees fit,
Why, vow, as your heartfelt confession
That, truly, their exquisite manners and wi
Enchant you beyond all expression.
Put faith and your money In railway o
mine,
Believe, with respect to directors,
That honor and NJ. o. must always CON
bine;
In the conscience, believe, of projectors
And then, in the hour when you find tha
you are
A beggar- with pleasant persistence
Protest that il is, you are certain, by far
The happiest OF all your existence
London Fun.

"Not Lost But Gone Before"

In MEMORY or Bessie w. ApAIR WHO DIED JAHUARY
2cthi 1909, AGED AZ YEARS.
As bending DER yon little bed,
The gentle mother strives TO cool the aching
head
That's pillowed there
Within her breast arises many doubt,
And oft the tears, SO long restrained, gush
And furnish reliei
The lovely form that once was bllthe and
gay,
Those little feet, that often through the day
Had made her glad,
Now on bed OF suffering and distress,
Calmly and peacefully as if at rest
She lay asleep.
The watches of the night pass slowly by
And still with aching head and unclosed eye
The mother watches.
But e'er the sun adorns the eastern sky
The infant spirits borne on high
To Heaven.
OF cruel death to cut down in its prime
A youthful life, and only leave behind
The tenement OF clay.
Thus far and only thus thy power extends,
For here 10 us the Saviour lenda
His conquerlng arm.
The family Joy, the idol now removed by
death
Those who had loved the opening bud are
lett
To mourn her loss.
The cold and liieless form is placed beneath
the sod,
Her spirit is commended TO the God
Who gave 1t.
But be assured that as the years roll on
Thou art approaching to the one that's gone
To Heaven.
In Christ, the Saviour, see an open door;
'Tis he assures, "Not lost, but gone belors;"
Aud entered into Joy. WING.

CoLoRa.-Nothing contributes In more
particular manner to heighten the beauty of
the skin than tho choice OF colOrs. For ex-
ample, females OF light complexion ought to
wear the purest white; they should choose
light and brilliant colors, such es rose, azure,
light yellow, etc, Women of dark COM
plexion, who dress in such colors, as we
have often seen them do, cause their skin TO
appear black, dull and tanned. They ought,
therefore, to avoid white robes, and rose
color or light blue ribbons, which form too
distasielul contrast to their carnations.
Let such persons, ON the contrary, dress III
colors " hich are best suited 10 them; IN par
| tlcular, green, violet, purple; and tnen that
| darkness, which was only tue effect of too
harsh a contrast, win suddenly disappear MS
If by enchantment; their complexion will
become lively and animated, and Will ex-
hiblt charms as will dispute and even bear
away the iairest oil the fair. In word, the
fair can not be TOO careful TO correct, by light
colors, the paleness OF theis complezions; the
darker women, by stronger colors, the some
what yellow tint OF their cGrnation, we
must not omit very important observation
respecting the change of colors by light.
Thus crimson 10 extremely handsome al
night, when II may be substituted Tor rose
color, which loses It's charm by candle light
no color whatever strips it 30 completely o
all Its attractions. Pale yellow. on the con
trAry, is often very handsome By day, and
is perfectly suited to persons WHO have d
fine carnaiion; but al night 1t appears dirty
and furnishes the lustre of the complexion
to which IL IL Designed TO give brilliancy.

Mark Twain and the Greek Professor.

We had an ancient Greek Professor among
our instructors. lam not sure about his age
within century or two, but am prepared
TO solemnly Rffirm-being of Quaker pro-
cllvities-thAt he had taugh! Greek for at
least sixty years. This Aged Brick was the
sweetest tempered old soul that ever lived.
Nothing could disturb his serenity. whole
pack OF fre.crackers tied under his chair,
and lighted with Glow match, didn't move
him hairs breadth. We tried 1t once, and
until his coat tail took fire and blaEed up he
never moved a muscle. Even then he only
said, "F. Emeral will put me out while the
class goes on with the recitation" must
confess that wac 30 much touched by the
old boys gentle ways, that kept the silver
anuf-box, that fell from his pocket before
had thoroughly extlngnished him, as sou.
venir But wasn't he up In Greek thought
He couldn't talk or think about anything
else. remember that once we had q scarcity
of elergymen in the village. The Aged
Brick, who had been educated as q clergy
man, was called on TO supply the vacancy.
He got himself into difficulties, though, for
he had no sooner taken his text than he
wandered off into an account of the second
PelsponneBsian war, and so entirely iorgol
where he was that he announced at the end
Of the sermon that she would request thost
present TO hand in written synopses OF his
lecture 10 morrow, and would now pass OF
70 the lesson oil the day, which was the
eighth, ninth, and tenth sections OF thu
second book Of Thueydides Yhe twt
deaconH carried him out of church imme
diately, and he was afterward regarded b.
half OF the congregation as an lnhdel joker
AS for conversation, the Aged Brick couldn'
talk with man, woman, child or member 9
the Rorosis, more than two copsecutiy
minutes without bringing In somethin
about the Greeks. The way he would slin
Greek names at his listeners was adapted I
utterly confound and stun any ordinar
mind. The names OF Pelopidas, and Agl
memnon, and Methusaleh, aud Emmett, an
Wolf Tone, and Confuclus, and Herod, an
all the rest OF the Greeks mentioned b
Homer and contemporary old fles, woul
be slung around with the most proiuse reel
lessness. And he hadn't any idea Of tim,
either, had this Aged Brick. I've know
him TO take fellow by the button hole, c
some Saturday morning, when the unhapT
victim had intended TO celebrate a Jolly ho
day by going to picnic, or to his maid,
aunt's funeral, or to come other merr
making, and TO entertain him with a ne
theory Of the Amphictyonic Council, un
the church bells rang Tor morning Rervi
ths next day.
