We shall never forget that evening VI

mired Miss Magruder, and we went around
to see her. 1t was GUNNER time and

The carpenter had been there that day

We took q seat on the step in front Of
Miss Magruder, where we could gaze into
her eyes and drink in her smiles. 1t

for the purpose CT going home, but we
found we were immovably 6zed to the step
Then Miss Magruder said, Don't be iu a
hurry" and we told her we believed we
wouldn't. The conversations had Sadder
tone after that, aud we sat there thinking
whether it would be letter to ask Miss
Magruder to withdraw While we disrobed
and went home in Highland costume, or
whether we should urge her to warm up
the poker, or whether we should give one
terrific wrench, an then ramble down The
yard backward. About midnight Miss
Magruder yswued, and said she believed
she would go to bed Then we suddenly
asked her il she thought her father would
have any objection to lendiag US bis front

our young love for Miss Magruder. We
never called again, aud she threw herself
away on a dry goods man. There is a

ARTIFICIAL WANTS, -BulwOr says thai
poverty is only uu idea, ip uiua cases Ous
Of ten. Some men with ten thousand .
year suffer more want Of means than 9th
ers with three hundred. The reason is,
the richer man has artificial wants. His
income is ten thousand, und be suffers cus
ough from being duuucd for unpaid debts
to kill q sensitive man. A man who earnq
o dollar day, and does not run in debt,
is the happier Of tho two. Very fov peo'
pic who have never been rich will believe
this, but it is true. There are thOusands
with prinColy incomes WHO never Eq9E .

thrir means. There is really more hapPi-
mesa 10 the world among working people
than among those who are called rich.

INTO MISCHIEF,

Dancing feet and busy fingers,
Never still the whole day through,
For the little brain from dreamland,
Brings them work enough to do,
Racing through the gorgeous parlOr,
ROmping on the winding stairs,
Tearing books and breaking vases
Into mischief everywhere.
Picks the cakes and taste The jelly,
Breaks the windows, slams the door,
Throws the statues from the brackets.
Scatter playthiugs on the floor.
Tearing little coats and trowseB,
RumPling up the curly hair
Busy, naughty little fingers,
Into mischief everywhere,
Spilliug ink upon the carpet,
Dashing pictures from the wall,
Breaking mirrors, singing, shouting,
In the attic aud the hill;
Tracing mud across the entries,
Turning over desk and chair,
Cutting up the morning paper
Into mischief everywhere,
But noloOk Of hate or malice,
Dakens DER those laughing eyes;
Not a thought Of harm or SHINING
In its little bosom lies;
For its soul is pure AMI guileleSS,
Whatever harm the fagers do
Though the little feet are strayIug
Into mischief everywhere.
WHAT is LovE1
"What is LoveH" the maiden asked,
Then wrote these words oftruth; =
"Whcn the brain is lightly Iasked,
Loves a passion in our youth.
"When we enter manhOOd's race,
Grasp the honors Of our time,
Find them empty, worthless, bIse,-
Loves solace in our prime.
"when our hairs are blanched by years,
Pain and fears our thoughts engage;
stiliit glislens through our tears
Loves habit in our age"
Lent the maiden on our chair,
Stayed my hand with playful strife,
Shook her sunny silken hair
"Love," she whispered, "is our lifel"
