My Wife and 1.

A sky of azure, a bit OF heaven,
An hour of bliss To mortas given,
A church, dainty dress by my side,
A solemn service, kiss--a bride,
Then ihrunging friends,
A last gOOd-buy
And 80 we are married.

Long hours Of rapture long days of Joy,
Time passing unheeded-withOut alloy,

No thoughts Of trouble,
Nor care, nor sigh,
For we are so happy
My wife and |.

A drifting once more into lile-wOrks Stream,

But home aud love
That shall last for aye,
For now we are settled

And as hours vanish in times quick fight
And our liles fair morning grows to- night
AS carking cares with our peasures stay,
And our heads are streaked with silvery gray
Yet shall love increase

Angry Words,

Angry words are lightly spoken,
In Il rash and thoushilrss hour;
Brightest links in lite are broken
BY their deep, insiduous power;
Hearts inspired by warmcst feeling
Nc'er before 10y anger stirred,
OF ale rent past human healing
BY single angry word.
Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow
Saddcst memories Of to-day.
Angry words D, let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lips.
Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For moments reckless folly
Thus To desoiate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken,
Bittcrrst thoughts are rashly stirred,
Brightest links in life are broken
By single angry word.

streets OF oqr cities echo to the shouts
and oaths Of drunken jewellers from
whom society seeks protection though

manson alike, not entirely suothsred
either by physical tear or social pride, is
heard the sound of wailng. What river
is there along our coast, wLaL harbor
Upon whose shores city stands, wlrose

Advice to Jokers.

Always let your jokes be well timed Any
time will 40 for E good joke, but no time viii
do for bad one. Any place will fit, provided
the joke itself be fitting but it never fits if a
joke be out of its place. No man can order a
joke as he would his coat, at Piercl's or his
boots AT Robertson's. Jokes are not only often
out of order, but We have known jokers ordered
out in short, any man who attempts to joke
out of order, should either be provided with
strait waiscoat or be kicked ont of society.
L. concocting jokes, as in making puddings,
e ca person enjoys similar materials but the
qualify of the dish is entirely dependent on
the skill of the artistic. As gold becomes re-
fled by passing through the ordeal of fire, so
truth is the purer for being tested by the fur.
ice OF fun; for jokes are to facts what melting
pots are to metal. The uitercr of good joke
Is IA useful member Of society, but the maker
OF bad ono is a more despicable character
than the veriest coiner by profession.
Ajoke from gentleman is an act of chari.
ty; an uncharitable joke is an ungentlemanly
act. The retort courteous is the iouchstone Of
good feeling the reply churlish the proof Of
cold-headed stupidity. ].
Patience is the ballast o. The sonl, that
will keep il from rolling aud tumbling in
The greatest sternss and he that will
venture out without this TO make him

HOSfOIl DI'IgIJl UlCI'S.

During the last few years, merchants
of the larger cities have adopted Il some
what new plan Of dom" business. They
send into the country towns and smaller
cities, men with sample goods, who So
licit custom. These PERSONS are some
times called commercial travellers :"
but they are-known throughout this sec
ton as "Boston drummrrs. They are
usually young men of pleasing address,
good looks, and the wcarcrs of good
clothes. Some of them are doubtless
good mcn,-konest, Industrious and
faithful, but we believe these are
the exceptions. The majority seem
to be city rakcs ana they act as though
they thought-"Now We are out in the
country, where the men are green, and
the girls are unsopAiSticated, and we will
show them 4 tEirg or two, and have a
good time" And they usually do it.
Ask the hotel keepers who ofall their
guests demand the most attention; who
most injurc their furniture; who COM
nit midnight orgies in their houses and
ifthcy tell you the truth they will say
-l'oston drummcrs.
Ask the livery >tablc-kcerers, who
damage most their carriages, abuse their
best horses, to driving them 10
death, as they have donc i'll this place.
and they will generally answcr--''Bos-
ton drummcrs.'
Inquire Of the railroad conductors
who are their most cNacting passengers
what men mInopoliza the ladies' car,
putting valises On one scat and their feet
on another; and the reply Will frequent
" be-''l,oston drummcr5."
Ask the church going public, who
those rowdieS are who 90 driving through
the town on the Sabbath, with cigars i'll
their lips and curses between their teeth :;
and the answer will usually coma--''B2s-
ton drummcrs"
If Boston merchants knew the charac-
ter and occupation of many Of their ser
wants willie in the country, they would
keep them under closer surveillance, or
abandon this plan of doing business al
together.
