Industrial Love Making T..

Two young turtle doves, wandering
with pinions entwined among the laby-
rinths and bowers Of the Exposition
building in Cincinnati, were heard to
COO thusly
Shc-"Do you indeed love me true ?"
Hc-"Truc as the needle to the
sewing machine, or the most accurate
case of mathematical apparatus on ex-
hibition. When / look at You my heart
warns like n heating stove, and beats
like n steel hammer"
She-"I can believe you, Them"
Hc-"Doubt burglar-proof safes and
plated ware, waX-work, millinery and
safety-valvcs, but never doubt my love"
She" Dearest Claw'd"
He" Your lovc-lit glances stir the
waters of my heart like n turbine wheel.
You are the sublimated agricultural
machinery Of my spiritual exposition.
You are the cultivator of my mortal *
istence, the seed drill for grains of
purest thought, the reaper of golden
harycsts of affection, and the mower
well, more to me than all the other girls
in Cincinnati.
She administering a roguish fan tap
"Perhaps ! can prove you n thrasher,
too"
He-"Well, and if You do, you will
find me MS docile in your hands as pine
wood in grasp of wood workers, or
dilapidated textiles in rag machiney."
She-"Your heart will never wander
from mcY"
He-"My sweet sugar evaporator,
Us soon expect to see n patent saw-mill
wandering in the galleries, or steam
boilers and tobacco machines promcna-
ding arm-in-arm through the hall. You,
and You alone, occupy the apartments
of my heart. You are alike tenant,
guest and regular boardcr, besides be-
ing furniture, upholstery and miscel-
l~ancous housc-funishing goods
Shc-"I must will believe YOU
Ala, Clnw'd, your words are dcarcr to
ton, and swectcr than the sweetest
bonnet in the millinery department, or
honey in the curry-comh. But can !
rely upon your constancy?'
He-"COnstant rs the fall of water
over yon cascade, and in devotion as
regular as a set of artificial teeth. II
You refuse to believe me and sooth ont
the wrinkles in my heart with your
spiritual ironing apparatus, you will
manglc and wringcr"
Shc-"Do you respect as we'll as
7 love-"
l Hc-"I respect You because you d'
not despisc washing apparatus ant
cooking stoves but disdain chemicals
paints and cotton. You would ran
patterns in the ladies' department, an,
for appearance there is no such carriag
as yours in the class of land conveyance.
;. She-"Sec the inconstant thron
how they fit from II object of interes
to another now stopping to fondle
n pegging machine or an automatic boilt
?, feeder, and again pausing to inhale TIL
10 fragrance of washing machines an
Il plug tobacco. So it is, | fear with me
=, who profess to love-"
l. He-"Dearest Pauline, You wron
II me. In comparison with you, all 9th,
Il women appear rs n ten-cent hack rid
'e from the ~postolice corner. They al
Is but toys and fancy goods to me, Will
to them | am but II refrigerator. Thel
& is no mining apparatus that can unde
D mine you in frames in which your imae
q is alone encased, and if You will plat
II my name upon your books as a Ii
IN partner you may count me as bot
III stationery and binding"
After such extravagant counting
"a the above, we can't see what is to pr
vent this devoted couple from goir
TX through life's ..adustrial expositic
III together. -Fdt Contribution.
