@r"Doctor," said lisping, fash

doctor, which do you prefer, tho1id-
ity of intellect or brilliantly? Thum

IA Louisville man who had only
been acquainted with his girl two
nights, attempted to kiss her at the
gate. In his dying deposition, he told
the doctor that just as he "kissed her
the earth slid out from under his feet
and his soul went out of his mouth,
while his head touched the stars" >
Later information shows that what
allied him was the old mans boot.

A NATURAL SEoUENoE.-Loss of
trade follows a cessation of advertising
as naturally as night follows day
Here is an illustration of it.:
An old lady entering a store the 9TH
er day, said: "Why it can't be that You
keep this store yet! l thought you
had gone out of business. Iain't seen
your name or anything about your
store in the paper for over year, and
everybody in our neighborhood thinks
you have gone out Of business"

AVERAGES OF L1FE.-The average
age of Farmers is sixty years, while
that of Printers is only thirty three,
which shows the necessity of prompt
to the latter, so that they
may have the pleasure of handling
their own money during their short So
journ on this sublunary sphere.

IN THE GARDEN.

When lilacs were in blossom
And all the air was sweet,
saw her standing tip-toe
Upon garden-seat;
One hand drew down the clusters,
The other bent spray,
Held it a little minute
And let it slip away.
Lilacs, your life is heightened,
But you've missed the very best,
The best brief life of lying
And dying on her breast!

January.

Bg=A man recently purchased a
link of sausage, "longdrawn out" and
was nearly choked to death by a piece
of brass collar, marked "Fido." How
the collar got into the sausage, is the
question.

TILL DAYBREAK.

Away to her, fresh morning breeze,
Uplift and blow aside
Her snowy curtain, and with ease
Approach her undenied.
And lightly kiss her mouth and eyes,
And lightly lift her hair,
And blow about her where she lies
This scent that fills the air,
OF apple-blossoms sweet, that she
May, waking, long to know
What newly-howering shrub or tree
Sweetens the morning so,
And past the cloudy curtain there
Lean forth, perhaps, to see,
Sweet, fresh and fair, and unaware,
Be seen herself by me
TILL MOoNRIsE.
IT'S long, long after sunset,
And cloudless is the sky,
Yet strangely faint the stars are,
And strangely faint am T.;
Behind the hiding mountain
They know the moon is near;
And shining at her window
Soon will my Love appear.
The Aldine for January.

IN THE STREET.

Like a breeze from a garden,
Made sweet with the scent
Of the fresh blooming lilacs,
She came and she went;
Pure spirit and vision,
Felt rather than known,
Fain would I have held her
And made her my own;
But as the unconscious
Breeze blesses and goes,
So went she, more blessing
And blest than she knows.
