A CoNUNDRUM ANswERED.--One
of our citizens is blessed or otherwise
with very stubborn wife. In his
case he finds that when woman will,
she will, you may depend ont and
when she won't, she won't, and that's
the end ont. This popularity ofdispo-
sition in his wife is no secret among his
associates, and one them meeting him
the other day asked:
"W--, do you know why you are
like donkey?"
"Liko donkey!' echoed W,
opening his eyes wide. "No. l
DON'T"
"Do you give it up?"
"I do"
because your better halffs stubborn
ness ITSELF"
"That Is not bad. Ha ha /! I'll give
that to my wife when get home"
"Mrs. W." he asked, as he sat
down to supper, "do you know why
am like q Donkey"
He waited a moment expecting his
wife to give it up, but she didn't; she
looked at him somewhat commiserat-
ingly as she answered
81 suppose because you were born
so.n
W has abjured the practice Of
putting conundrums to his wife.-Ldac.

TIE SCIENCE OF BoRRowING.-rho
last story Of Alexander Dumas Is par
ticularly characteristic of the great
writer One day his son, whose pock-
et-book was very light at tho time, was
strolling along the Boulevard, when he
met a literary chum, and after few
minutes conversation it was proposed
that they should go to the "Malson
dor" and enjoy frst-class breakfast.
"Well and good" said Dumas Fts,
"but have only fivc francs how much
have you?'
"Three.P
Eight francs will never do for the
royal meal we desire, so We had better
abandon the idea."
"Where is your father ?'' asked the
friend.
"Tieas l forgot, he will lend me
twenty francs," and off rushed Dumas
fits to the author of the "Three Mus
keteers.n Ten minutes after he return
ed, laughing heartily
"Well, )" said the chum, "did he give
1t to your"
"No," answered Dumas Gts "on the
con ntrary, he borrowed my zee francs"

The Language Of the Eyes,

To find some universal tongue
That all can understand
Has long been wished by old and young
In almost every land,
They never seemed TO have confessed
What wondrous power lies
In that mute speech, by all posse iscd,
Tho language Of the Eyes.
Why cannot people bo content
with this dumb voicealono9
Perhaps because 1t says what's meant
And all that's meant is shown;
so still use artificial speech,
Which hides and mystincs,
For that which truth and nature teach
The language OF tn Eyes,
How much the better should we be,
If fewer thin g were said,
If words spun out less easily
m conversations thread?
low many questions might we spare,
How many vain replies,
Would we but practice everywhere
The language of the Eyes,
But all fear too oft we feel
Shut up in hollow pride;
Aud what the eye would sure reveal
The world Intends TO hide.
We cannot trust our eyes to spcal,
Truth only in thom lies,
And ialschood never dares to seek
The language Of the Eyes.
We are not yet SO good, alas
As that We all can say,
Look through those windows as through gla,
And read our heart alway;
We yet must suffer speech TO fill
The world with sound and lies
But there viii be one true thing still
