And too much vexed to cry
So, Annie dc enlighten ne,

I'm sure Idon't know what he means,

LAST night when Charlie talked to ne.
Though he.Was kind and good
He acted liked an injured man
Who suffered all be could;
'Twouid be pretty way TO be
Without the asking led;
II he wishes me to talk to him
'Tis very easy said.
One day he asked me III thought,
When to another wed.
I'd ever breathe sigh for him,
Because his hopes were dead,
And If did not think he'd feel
Disconsolate and sad
Pr sure can't tell hoz he'd feel,
l know that I'd feel bad
He said he wished to know my heart,
His own was torn with doubts;
II he'll only ask me what think
Of him, he'll find it out.
So what to think, or how TO act,
Pm sure I do not know
But If he wants to marry me,
wish he'd tell me 50

Does Advertising Paw I?

The Toledo Blade gives the follow
ing as an apt instance of the benefit
of advertising: Some time since a
jobbing house was opened in this city
by a gentleman who did not believe
there was any virtue in printers ink ;
he had opposed the expenditure for
advertising by house with which he
had previously been connected. The
gentleman was visited by person at
tached to the Blade establishment
who asked him to try the experiment
of advertising his new house for one
month, and so confident was the
newspaper man that he said to the
merchant "Try it for a month, and
if you do not find that it pays, your
advertising shall not cost you any
thing" The merchant accepted the
proposition, and the next number of
the Blade contained a "4-square
advertisement of the house, and a
brief local nention Of the new estab-
! lishment. On the evening when the
advertisement appeared, two gentle
men got upon the G. & 7. train at a
town between this city and NOrwalk
en- route east to buy goods, They
each bought copy of the Blade from
the train boy, and soon discovered
the advertisement of the new jobbiug
house. Says one of them to his COM
psuion, "Hers's a new house started
| in Toledo that sells our goods, sup
posing we leave this train at Norwalk
and go to Toledo and see what we
can do" This was agreed upon, and
the next train west brought the mer-
chants who presented themselves at
the new house early next morning
They found a good stock, made their
selections, paid their bills-one
amounting to $3.50, the other s730-
and we're about TO leave the store
when the proprietor inquired why
they were induced to visit his place
remarking that they we're his first
customers. The gentlemen gave him
tue particulars which we have ehron-
icled above. The proprietor did not
demur to paying for, his advertising,
and was thenceforward friend tC
pfintsr's ink.

Diving Words of Wilherforoa,

"Come and sit near me, AID let me
lean on you," said Wilberforce to a
friend few minutes before his death.
Afterward, putting his arm around
that friend, he said 4: "Let US talk
of Heaven. Do not weep for me: I
am happy. Think of me, and let the
thought press you forward. 1 never
knew happiness till I found Christ
my Savior. Read the Bible-read
the Biblel Let no religious book
take its place. Through all my per
plexities and distresses | never read
any other books, and never felt the
wsnt of any other. 1t has been my
hourly study; and all nv kpowledgs
of the doctrines. and all my acquaint-
auce with the experiences aud reali-

the Bible only. 1 think religions
neople do not read the Bible enough
Books about religion may be useful
enough, but they will not do in the

NEPOTISM.


b. f. Winans has been appointed
postmaster at Newport, Kentucky.
RecOmmendation-wedding a niece
Of Gen. Grant. The proclivity
which Gen. Grant has show for
appointing his relatives to Office OF
one kind or another, induces cor
respondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer to suggest to an anxious
seeker for Office, who ''rooms with q
gentleman who, when a boy, at
tended school with President Gen
eral Grant" q matrimonial alliance
with young lady Of Covington,
Ky, who "twice a day passes the
mansion of the presidential parental
relative" as an event thatthat might
produce the desired result-procure
him an office. The suggestion 'is
made as many offices remain to be
filled and relatives are seemingly
growing thin" But seriously, the
following letter from Thomas JET
ferson, on the subject Of political
nepotism is Of interest at the pres
ent time when President Grant
seems to be determined that not the
remotest member of his family shall
be left without an Office. MIR. JEFF
ferson was inaugurated March 4
1901. Three weeks afterwards he
wrote to a kinsman, George Jetfer,
son, as follows:
have to acknowledge the receipt o.
yours of March t, and to express to you
the delight with which found the just
disinterested and honorable point oil
view in which you saw the PROPOSE
ton it covered The resolution you sc
properly approved had long been formed
in my mind The public will never be
made to believe that an appointment o
a relative is made on the ground of merit
alone, uninduenced by family views
nor can they ever see with appreciation
offices, the disposal of which they intrus
to their Presidents for public purposes
divided out as family property. Mr.
Adams degraded himself infinitely b,
his conduct on this subject, as Washing
ton had done himself the greatest honor
With two such examples to proceed by
| should be dOubly inexcusable to err
1t is true that this places the relations
the President in worse situation thai
if he were a stranger, but the publ
good, which can not be effected ii 1t
confidence be lost, requires this sacr
fee. Perhaps, too, it is compensated b,
sharing in the public esteem. | cOul
not be satisfied till ] assured you OF tn
increased esteem with which this trans
action fills me for you. Accept my affec
Tomato expression of it.
