JANETTE'S HAIR.
BY Nit Es o'REILLY.

Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Janette,
Let me tangle hand in your hair, my pet
For the world to me had no daintier sight
Than your brown hair yelling your shoulders
white,
As tangled hand in your hair, my pet.
1t was brown, with a golden gloss, Janette,
1t was finer than silk of the floss, my pet!
Twas beautiful mist falling down to your
wrist,
Twas thing to be braided, and iewelled,
and kissed,
Twas the loveliest hair in the world NV pet
Your eyes had swimming gloss, Janette,
Revealing the dear old story nv pet;
They were gray with that chastened tinge of
the sky,
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the
And they matched with your golden hair.
tiny pet.
Your lips-but have no words, Janette,-
They were fresh as the twitter of birds,
my pet,
When the Spring is young, and the roses are
W ith dew-drops in each red bosom set,
ana they suited your gold-brown hair, my
pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair, Janette
Twas silken and golden snare, my pet;
But so gentle the bondage, my soul did i'm
plOre
The right to continue a slave evermore,
With my fingers enmeshed i'll your hair, my
pet.
Thus ever dream what you were, Janette,
With your lips, and your eyes, and your
hair, my pet;
In the darkness of desolate years l moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

INA SCR4PE.

At Big Creek, Arkansas, they have ps-
cuEar custom which IS sometimes smbGrrsss-
ing AS there is no preacher within thirty
miles, the way for marrying is by kissing
across the table. Recently s New York
drummer was out there. BE put up at
private house, and became intimate. One
evening he was fooling around one Of the
girls, generally trying the extent of her
sweet temper, when she gave his whisksrs
Il pull and He followed. She got the
table between them. When out Of breath
he stopped on the other side, making a wild
plunge, caught her in his arms and gave her
= hearty kiss. She then sat down on the
sofa, and they talked pleasantly for a couple
of hours-he thinking it singular that she
should sit up SO ate.
At last she said, Don't you think it's
about time we went to bed?'
Il guess you are right, " he remarked, 'qet's
go"
She lit candle, and he was about to DO
the same, when she said, ''I reckon ones
enough. One candle viii light two folks to
bed"
"Umdoubtedly it would when those two
people occupy the same room. But your
candle viii not illuminate my chamber"
"Aiu't we going TO occupy the same room?
Amt we married.

cold sweat spread over the drummer
He knew that if he said he wasn't married
TO her she would make an outcry, and then
her loving and much htobacco-consuming faith

him into outlets, and her brothers would
bring down their shot guns and empty the
contents into him. He must be strategic
He must put her of. So he SAID:
''Faircst Of your sex. permit me 10 remark

A CURIOUS LEGAL CONTROVERSY
There was an interesting legal controversy
inaugurated at Paw Paw, Michigan, a short
time since, the result of which has not yet
come to hand, though indeed what the ulti-
mate decision may be is of small moment, as
the affair is chiefly noticeable on account of
its illustration or a Phase or human nature
happily exceptional, while the incidents
leading thereto show mixture of romantic
attachment on the one side and sordid av-
arice on the other, calculated to excite the
curiosity of the philosophic. Itappears that
a worthy youEg gentleman of Paw Paw was
for some time courting young lady of that
place; and though circumstances compelled
his removal to Chicago, the attachment con-
tinued and was fostered by occasional visits
to the lady of his love. These visits geuer-
ally occurred on Saturday, and at such times
he usually remained at the young lady's
home over Sunday.
At one time he was taken suddenly i'll at
Chicago. and having no relatives at either
plase, he naturally sought the dwelling OF
his sweetheart, where lie was kindly Teceiv-
ed and nursed until envious death claimed
him, and left the expectaut bride to grieve
over her loss. But the full extent, or rather
the exact nature Of that loss, was not really
apparent until the departed youth had been
deposited under the sod, when claim for
considerable amount for attendance during
his sickness, and more surprising still, for
board during the period Of courtship, was
filed before the Probate Judge against the
young mans estate. The suit is brought in
the name of the girls father, but though she
appears simply as a witness in the case,
there are people just perverse enough 10 con-
gratulate the deceased on his escape from
such matrimonial moose, even at the ex-
pense Of his life.
