FORTY YEARS AGO.

How wondrous are the changes, Jim,
Since forty years ago,
When gals wore wooden dresses, Jim,
And boys wore pants Of tow;
When shoes were made Of caliskin
And socks of honlespun wool,
And children did half-day's work
Before the hour Of school.
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel
And prncticed lnle and early, Jim,
On spindle swift and reel;
The bows would ride bare backed to mill
dozen miles or SO,
And hurry off before twas day,
Some forty years ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
In sleds instead of sleighs,
And wagons rode rs easy Jim,
AS huggies now.a-dnys
And oxen answered well for teams,
Though now they'd lie too slow
For people lived not half so last
Some forty years ago.
o, well do remember jim,
The Wilson patent stove
That father bought aud paid for, Jim,
In cloth our gals Ind wove
And how the ncighbors wondered
When we got the thing to go,
They suid 'twould burst aud kill US all
Some forty years ago.
Yes everything is different jim,
From what it used 10 was,
For men are always tampelng, jim,
With God great naturnl laws
But what on earth we're coming TO
Does anybody know
Por everything has changed so much
Since forty wears ngo.

4 Wise Spouse.

A lady OF this city, OF French par.
entage, bright, witty, and good, be-
came the wife OF gentleman whose
business called him regularly every
summer 10 Paris. In his youth his
pace had been rapid, and the lady's
relatives gave many shakes of the
head when talking Of the marriage.
He told her very frankly that he had
been OF naughty habits, bnt promised
to be proper. And he made very 4
good husband. On each return from
Paris he brought her some nice little
present-sometimes bonnet, some
times dozen of Alexandre's. some.
times dress. But on this his eighth
return, he surprised her by placing
in her hands a magnificent lace shawl,
the cost of which could not have been
less than seven or eight hundred dol
lars. Well might her bright eyes
sparkle, as they did, over the exquis
il gossamer-ike gilt. Putting an
arm tenderly around his neck and
giving him soft, sweet kiss. she
said: "Ah, what a good, kind husband
