viii You Never GO 10 sIeeps

The San Francisco News Letter gets
off the following good one:
Returning home late the other night, a
man living on Mason street disrobed
without lighting the gas, and lay peace
fully down beside the partner of his joys.
Sinking back upon the pillow he straight
way raised himself and remarked:
:" / say, wife, how's your pillow
warm2"
why, what foolish question" re-
turned she; "my pillow is all right"
Is it real warm?" he asked.
" Certainly it is; I've had my head on
it for three hours"
Apparently satisfied, he laid down and
was silent for some time, when vigorous
nudging in the side of his wife proved he
had another idea.
" | say, wife2"
" For goodness sake, what do you
want?" petulantly answered the sleepy
dame.
81 say, you don't use hair oil. do your
"Of course not You know that as
well az anybody else. Do, for mercy S
sake, go to sleep.
AhobhNA hSiA hOul pdooNd IN ohSHN't
broken by the solemn ticking of the
clock in the darkness Then there was
another spasmodic nudging.
" | say, wife, you didn't put that calf
under the bed, did your"
" Gracious me returned the matron,
what is the matter of your OF course
the calf is not under the bed. Will you
never go to sleep2
" Well, continued her lord, sliding
his legs sideways out of bed, I'm id
if there amt something live under here. ="
There was the sound of scrambling
round, partial upheaval of the couch,
the quick gleam of white garment
making for the open window, through
which it disappeared, thrashing sound
in the rosebushes outside-and all was
still again.
The custody Of the children mas been
awarded to the husband.

Ii She. or Is She Nnf2

Music is a heavenly maid, so we are
told. But to my thinking that depends
on circumstances. For instance, sup.
pose Music in the shape of brass
band is located right up against your
state room door in steamboat, where
you had visions of dodging Point Ju-
dith by a recumbent posture and a nap?
Music is anything but heavenly maid
about that time.
Or if you are writing, and wheezy
organ stops before your window-be-
loved by your neighbOr who has chill
dren to be amused, but despised by your
discord hating ear to the point of insan-
ity-how about Music, the heavenly
maid" theny
Or if you are in a street car, with a
carpet Of wet, nasty straw beneath
your feet, and stack of umbrellas and
dripping garments and moldy market
baskets about yeu on all sides, and Mu-
sic, the heavenly maid, appears in the
shape of starved Italian prchin and
dilapidated accordion, what Men2

A Model Lover.

The model lover of the period lives in
Danbury, Conn. The parents of his
sweetheart are opposed to the match,
but it does not make him proud. Some
times the old gentleman reaches him
with his foot before he can get over the
fence, but the young man doesn't lay up
i'll feelings on account of that; he only
smiles at the despoiler Of his pantaloons
when he meets him, and calls it heap
ing Goals of fire on his head" The
other morning he thought he would get
up a surprise for the old chap. He put
a paving stone in each of his coat-tail
pockets, and started for the fence as
usual The old gent let out for him
with increased enthusiasm, and caught
him-caught him good Then he laid
down on the grass and said: die by
the hand of an assassin" But the
young man passed on without word,
and smiled the most heavenly smile of
forgiveness ever seen on that street.

Greeley Among His Townsme en-.

A New York correspondent writes:
Our street-corner chat having ended,
the separation was as informal as was
the greeting, on the part of the famed
parsonage who was the cynosure of hun
dreds of eyes of men and women, lads
and lassies, who were thronglng the
sidewalks and vending their way home
ward from church through a scorchiDg
sun. AS he was on the point of going, a
gentleman brought his little fiveyear
old boy up into the presence of the
massive form of Mr.. Greeley. The
father remarked Mr.. President, my
little son asks to be introduced to you"
Mr.. Greeley extended his hand down to
that of the outstretched, white palm of
the bright-faced boy, and the introduc-
ton seemed to greatly satisfy the juve-
nile ambition. Both the old and the
young philosopher smiled. The Incl
dent proved amusing to the crowds of
mothers, and fathers, too, for that mat
ter, who had in these few minutes gath
cred near to look upon one occupying
so conspicuous a place in the public
attention. Mr.. Greeley was at once ap-
preached by several persons in famil-
lar manner, whose countenances beamed
upon the good man, and it seemed in
evitable that an impromptu streetcorner
reception was to ensue. But Mr.. Gree
lev must 20 on his course. A few yards
on his way one Of New York's estab-
lished institutions-alms-receiving fe-
males-sitting disconsolate and woeful
on the sidewalk, holding an infant always,
encountered his sight. His charitable
heart yielded to its sympathies, and trun-
ding up to her side, he dropped some of
Uncle Sans promises to pay into her
outstretched hand. Everybody within
sight of the bulky form climaxed with a
splendid head and the famous white hat,
stopped, of course, and turned to look
and exclaim to the nearest friend or
stranger: Look that is Horace Gree
leyW The very presence of this elderly
gentleman seems to put every one in
good humor. Not because Mr.. Greeley
has a particle of grotesqueness in his ap-
pearance; not because he is a subject of
ridicule in any measure, but because his
bearing is such that all persons, from
youth to age, of both sexes, seem per-
sonally to know him on sight, and as
thousands carry that prevailing senti-
ment into practice when occasion offers
Horace Greeley is probably the best
known, if not the most popular man in |
America. Let him start from Lincoln |
club for street car line, on his way to
Chappaqua, with his big black carpet.b bag
in his hand, and it will be an unusual
circumstance if several men do not offer
to relieve him of the burden before he
reaches the car. These kindly offers he
never forgets to decline, though he is
above threescore years, and his hair is
silvery white. For a long time before
his nomination for the Presidency was
even broached, the mention of his name
in public assembly of this metropolis
was always received with an outburst of
applause. 1t was not the applause of
ciacqueurs for their political wire-pull-
ing, patronage-dispensiEg chieitain but
spontaneous demonstrations of popular
regard

animals themselves driven from door to
door Of the different regular customers,
where they are MIXED, and a regular
stand where the transient patrons are
supplied, by milking it into the vessel in
which they take it home. Besides a
drove of calves, with the cows, all muz-
zled, running and bleating after them,
there is gang Of goats and asses driven
along, that people might always suit
themselves as to the quality and price,
as to their different tastes-for which
there is no accounting. 1t is impossible
to derive the reason or origin Of this
mode of vending milk, unless it arose
from the natural villany Of the people
and their mistrust of each other, it being
a preventive against adulteration, and of
their disposing Of quality OF milk infe-
rior to that represented.

AN AIM.

Give mo a man with an aim,
Whatever that aim may be,
Whether it's wealth, or whether it's fame,
1t matters not to me.
Let him walk in the path of right.
And keep his aim in sight,
Ard work and pray in faith alway,
With his eyes ON the glittering hight.
Give me man who says,
will do something well,
And make the heeting days
A story of labor tell"
Though the aim he has be small,
1t is better than none at all;
With something TO do the whole year thrO'
He will not stumble or fall.
But Satan weaves a snare
For the feet Of those who stray,
With never a thought or u care
Where the path may lead away.
The man who has no aim
Not only leaves no name.
When this life is done, but ten to one,
He leaves record of shame.
Give me a man whose heart
Is filled with ambitions fire;
Who sets his mark in the start,
And keeps moving it higher and higher.
Better to die in the strife,
The hands with labor rife,
Than to glide with the stream in an idle dream.
And live purposeless life.
Better to strive and climb
And never reach the goal,
Than to drift along with time
An aimless, worthless soul.
Ay, better to climb and fall,
Or sow. though the yield be small,
Than to throw away day after day,
And never strive at all.

wedding breakfast, and they retire, be-
lieve, to the country TO pass few weeks
before returning to France. They will
not be married enthusiastically, but will
content themselves. for the present at
least, with the civil conservation OF their
union.
II is very curious wedding, and will
no doubt create considerable sensation
both in Europe aud America. This
step on his part sewers, of course, the
last tie that bound him to the Catholic
Church, from which he has not yet been
excommunicated, believe, although
forbidden to exercise his priestly func.
tions. A bull Of accommodation will
probably be hurled at him now, and It
only remains to be seen whether he will
be seriously Inconvenience by such a
missile.
He is certainly very gifted and ex-
traordinary man. With all his great
qualities, however, he has the French
fault of a love of dramatic effect and
theatrical display, which goes so far,
sometimes, as to throw serious doubts on
his sincerity. AS an example Of this
trait in his character ] will only cite the
letter he wrote General Trochu during
the siege of Paris, in which he demanded
spade to work in the Notifications; for
getting, apparently, that Trochu had no
spades to sell, and that he could have
got spade anywhere had he really
wanted to use it. Victor Hugo wanted
gun, and it would seem that this want
was the only thing that prevented his
going to immediate himself on the altar
of his country; but Hyacinthe only
needed spade, and, had he been able
to find one, he would have nobly died
digging for his country, and would
have been spared the trouble of writing
up his wedding. On such trifes do the
destinies Of mankind hang
