DO YeU THINK TT A SIN 2

Do you think it sin in the gloaming
To sit near a neat fitting dress,
With the daintiest of maidens within it,
And lily white fingers to press ?
Or softly to lift stray ripgiet,
That floats Ger a bosom of snow,
Or to peep into eyes that ale glancing.
From darkly fringed eyelids below ?
Or to see Just beyond where she's sitting
A something you ought to repair;
And pass your arm around her and fix it,
And then to forget your arm there;
Or, just in fit of abstraction,
To tell her there's something you miss,
And while she's helping you to hud it,
To steal from her mouth a sweet Kiss
And as she's Teproving you nildly,
You draw in your arm rather tight,
And tell her you're sorry you did it,
If she does not think it quite right,
And then in your penitent moment
You say that to you it is plain,
You ought, as matter of ht nor,
70 give her the kiss back again.
Yet how to do it is puzzle,
For in viewing the matter all Ger,
If / give back the kiss | have stolen,
She might say I'd taken one more.
o, Pm sadly perplexed and confoanded,
/ want to be just and polite,
Don't you think that it were better to coax he.
To give me to kissing the right +?
l IN afraid I've committed blurder,
And acted some here like dunce:
l think must get up my courage,
And ask her TO wed me at once.
I've done it-and she has consented
What fortunate man | have been ]
And now you may keep your opinion
i don't think have committed sin.

Our readers have all doubtless heard of
the frog that would wooing go,' regards
less of his mothers injunctions, but it doesn't
follow that they've heard of the last Mich>
gan frog enactment, and for fear they haven't,
we transfer from the Elgin (Ill.) Gazette the
subjoined morsel:
In Marine City, Mich, the other day, a
young man was walking out with some
young ladies, when he found a small frog
and holding it in the palm of his hand brought
it near his mouth which he opened wide.
The juvenile croaber seeing what appeared
to be place of refuge, gave a Jump into
the cave. The young man looked very red
in the face and the ladies looked down in
the mouth. but the frog has never been
seen from that day to this.

AN EXTRAORDINARY TIMEPIECE.-A Lon
don matchmaker has constructed gold hunt
ing watch which, in addition to being a
timekeeper of the utmost precision, with
chronometer adjustments. compensation bal
ance and cylindrical spring, exhibits on the
dial plate the following different indications
First, the equation of the time second,
the moons age: third. the month of the
year; fourth, the day of the month in adj
ditiou 10 the hours, minutes and seconds, as
an ordinary watch. The mechanism is so
contrived that any one or the whole of the
hands may be set forward or back ward at
pleasure without deranging the rest. Eve
ry moment of this mechanical marvel is laid
down in the strictest proportion and based
upon calculations of an absolutely scientific
character, and the whole is within the COM
pass Of pocket timekeeper.

A wedding In a Lighthouse.

A Toledo (Ohio) paper tells the story
of romantic wedding in lighthouse on
Turtle Island. Mrs. Edison has been the
keeper of the lighthouse since the death Of
her husband, two years ago, and last week
she was married TO young man named
Burrows who had been employed as her
assistant. The wedding party of invited
guests left Toledo on Thursday, and the
trip was very pleasant until the party
reached the vicinity of the island, when
they were struck by squall, were drench-
ed with rain and had a rough time gener-
ally. Mr.. Burrows watched the party
from the island, and throwing off his
wedding cloths and donning his working
suit, put off in a boat to their assistance.
He was thrown back by the rough sea,
and came out of the struggle with skinned
nose and bruised face He made Sec
ond attempt, reached the tug, transferred
the dranched wedding guests, two by two,
to the island, where they were received by
Mis-. Edison in a manner at once cordial
and earnest.
The scene during the gale, and while
the party was still on the tug, was very
exciting. General Slevins' hat went off
at the first puff. umbrellas and parasols
were turned wrong side out in whirl,
and the awning broke loose from its fas-
tening, swept the deck, where the cake
and wedding delicacies were going to de-
struction. Some man went to the rescue,
however, and his daring was repaid by
a vote of thanks from the ladies, who
were willing to sacrifice their bonnets
rather than that cake.
At last Mr.. Burrows had all his guests
on shore, and made himself ready for the
ceremony. He remarked as an iutroduc-
tory that he had been round the world
twice, that he had met many women, but
be had never loved until he met the lady
soon to be his wife. There under the
light. in sight of the scene of her heroic
struggle 10 save one man who called her
wife, Mrs. Edison became Mrs Burrows,
and received the congratulations of her
friends
After an entertainment, in which the
rescued wedding cake and attendant fix
lures played an important part, and after
family prayer, in which the devine bless
ing was asked on the newly married
couple, the guests returned to the city.

IT MIGuT HAVE BEEN. We hear a
great deal about this phrase, ''It might
have been."
Sentimental youths and love lorn lassies,
growing old bachelors, and "picky" old
spinsters, all join in this contemplate
whine, ''It might have been )" but the
words have another meaning we'll worth
looking for, too.
Instead of mourning over the irretrieva-
BILE past, and signing, SIT might have been
better" we should do far more sensible
thing if we picked up our crumbs, and
said. at might have been worse'
Taking time through, there isn't more
cause for sorrow than joy, and all bitter
complaining only brings US SO much the
more speedily to that place which is the
quin:escence of everything doleful
1t is not very likely that any of US will
be called to endure more than good old
Job. When earthly blessings were taken
from him, he did not raise a great hue
and cry, but patiently said, "The Lord
gave, and the Lord hath taken away !;
blessed be the name of the Lord
If ever we are 80 happy as to get to
Heaven, then we may see that much
which we call trouble and sorrow now,
are really our greatest blessing and our
utter ruin might have been wrought in
soul and body if circumstances had been
as we SO often blindly wished they might
have been.
Then we shall see that, of all glad
words of tongue or pen, the gladdest are
these, "It might have been."

HAZZS

Every wear increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that 1T Is kept
fully up to its high standard; and 1t
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to it's youthful color, making 1t
soft, Iustrous, and silken. The scalp,
bv its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as 1t stlmu-
Iates and nourishes the halr-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. a. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "Ihe
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

The Gordian Knot was made of the thongs
that served as harness to the wagon of Cor
dian, a husbandman who was afterward
King of Phrygia. Whoever united this knot,
the ends of which were not discoverable, the
oracle declared should be Emperor of Prus-
sia. Alexander the Great cut away the knot
with sword until he found the ends Of it !;
and thus, IN military sense at least, this
"conqueror OF the world' interpreted the
oracle.

"A rural youth of eighteen summers in
vested in a banana in the cars on Monday.
He carefully removed the peel. and put it on
the seat by his side /; then he broke the fru it
up in small bits, eyeing it anxiously as he
did so. When this was done he picked up
the peel, shook it in his lap, and finally
threw the pieces out of the window, remark

prize packages l ever bought, and it's the
last, you bet"
