In A PREDICAMENT 1t is very pleasant TO
be in love sometimes, but quite annoying when
the tender feeling Is accom- panied by those pet
ty drawbacks which are sure to follow parental
hostility. Such at least is the experience of
one John Smith, a youth whose heart has sof-
tened and whose brain has grown dizzy beneath
the smiles of country belle. Somehow or
other her father won listen to his suit, and
clandestine interviews have taken place ia
vacant lot In the rear of her residence Seated
on bench, cose up to the fence they did bill
and coo as iearlessly as two gentle turtle doves
But one evening, lately, their stolen interviews
were discovered by the girls brother, malig-
nant wretch, who, out of their love, deter
mined to extract some fun for himself. With
this end in view he watched for their next
meeting; and, when they were comfortably
seated On the bench, he managed, vi hout ex.
citing their suspicious, to draw the gentleman S
coat-laiI and part of the lady dress through
a crack in the fence, and fasten them to post.
This accomplished, be retired few PAGES, and
then screamed Justify for his father. At the
hrst Screech the lovers started TO run, but the
post held them fast
Let me go!' pleaded the lady.
The gentleman, quicker in expedieDts, threw
MS coat OF and bounded away. Now, the la
dy couldn't pull off her coat neither could she
unloose 1t. Her lover had left her. her brother
still screamed, and she, like an ambitions draw
horse, still tugged at the obdurate post.
The old man was by this time heard an
preaching. But one course was left. A dgs
perate pull tore the dress loose at the waist
and skeleton-cad figure few wildly across the
lot.
Somehow or other the lovers have rot since
met.

Domestic Felicity.

The brown curls fell in their wondrous grace,
AS the blue eyes met his own
Shading the light of the beautiful face
With glory all her own.
The moonlight stole with loving CLEAN
On the delicate upturned brow,
And swept with its pure mysterious beam,
Adown the soft arms dazzling snow.
One white hand lay on his loving breast,
And one meath the lovely head; :,
While the dimpled cheek to his heart was press
And parted the lips warm red.
On his shoulder foated the waving hair,
Shading the beautiful brow
And over all rested the moonlight fair,
With its quivering, silvery glow
And he clasped her warm in his loving hold,
AS he spake in his yearning tone:
"W hat is it my darling would have me told
Little wife, my darling, my own p
The blue eyes cleaned with loving thrill.
And a look so pure and sweet;
sour dinner to- morrow; oh. dear me, Bill
Has the butcher-boy brought up the meat?'
When the sunbeams came with loving thrill,
And the air grew warm and sweet;
And the moon had vanished behind the hill
The butcher-boy brought up the meat.
