HOME AFTER Business HOURS
Happy is the business man who car
find that solace and that poetry al
home. Warm greetings from loving
hearts, fond glances from bnghteyes,
and welcome Shouts of merrv-hearted
children, the many thousand little
arrangements for comfort and eoloy-
nlent, that silently tell Of thoughtful
and expectant love, these are the
ministrations that reconcile Us to the
prose of life. Think of this, ye
wivesand daughters of business men!
Think of the tolls, the anxieties, the
modification and wear that fathers
undergo to secure for you comforta
bic homes, and compensate them for
their tolls, by making them happy by
their own frsside.

Josh Billings Oh Cour;ship.

Courtin is luxury; it is the pla
spell of the sole. The man who has
never courted has lived in vane. He
has been blind man among land
scapes, he has been def man in the
land of hand-organs and by the side
of murmurin canals. Courtin is like
two little springs of water that start
out from under a rock at the foot Of
mountain, and runs down hill side
by side, singing, dancing and spaterin
each other, eddyin and frothin, and
kaskadin, and hidden under the bank,
now full of shadder, bimby they jine
and then go slow. I am in favor of
long courtin; it gives the parties a
chance to find out each others trump
cards 1t is good exercise, and is
just as innocent as FIVE marina lambs.
Perhaps it is best I should state
some good advice to the young men
who are about to court with view
to matrimony as it was.
In the first place, young men you
ought to get your system all right; /;
then find young woman, who is
willin to be courted on the square.
The next thing is to find out how
old she is, which you can do by ask
ing her; and she will sa she is l9
years, and this you will find will not
be far out of the wa.
The next is to begin moderate, sa
once every mite in the week for the
fust six months, increasin the dose as
the pashent seems to require.
1t is fust rate way to court the
girls mother little on the start. for
there is one thing a woman never
despises, and that is a little. good
courtin if it is done on the square
After the fust year you will begin
10 like the bisiness.
There is one thing always advise,
that is to not swap photographs Of
tener than wunst every daze, unless
you forget how the gal looks.
Occasionally you want to look sor-
row and drag in your wind as tho
YOU had a pain; this will set the gal
to teezin you to find out what ails
yon.
Even meetins are good thing 10
tend. 1t will keep your religion in
tune, and if your gal happens 10 be
there by accident, she can ask you to
so home with her.
As general thing I wouldn't 'brag
on other girls much when Twas cortin.
1t might look as though you knu tew
much.
II you court three weeks in this
wa, all the time on the square, if you
don't sa it is the sleekest time of your
life You can go to the cheap store
and get measured for plug hat at
my expense and pay for it.

The Old Lady,s Advice,

If you should ever get married. John, g
pll tell you what to do
Go get little tenement,
Just big enough for two.
And one spare room for company
And one spare bed within it
IF you'd begin Loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin it.
In furniture be moderate, John.
And let the stuffed chairs wait;
One looking glass will 90 for both,
Yourself and loving mate;
And Brussels, too, and other things.
Which make fine appearance,
If YOU can better afford it. they
Will better look q year hence.
Some think they must have pictures,
John,
Superb and costly too;
Your wife will be your picture, john,
Let that suffice for you.
Remember how the wise man said
a tent, with Love within it,
Is better than splendid house,
With pickering every minute.
For all You buy, pay money, John,
Money earned eveGy day;
IF YOU would have your life run smooth
There is no better way.
\ note to pay is an ugly thing.
IF thine. YOU choose to call it,
When it hanes DER man who has
No money in his wallet.
And now, when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich;
1t took them many a toilsome year,
To gain their onvied niche;
And if you'd gain the summit, John,
Look well to your beginning,
And what you win will well repay,
The care and toll of winning.
