The Lovers Knot.

TYING her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her golden ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair;
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing, merry and
chill,
And it blew the curls frolicsome race
All over the happy peach-colored face,
Till scolding and laughing she tied them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew color bright as the bloom
OF the pinkiest fuchSla's tossing plume
All over the cheeks y ne pretiiest girl
That ever imprisoneda romping curl,
Or. in tying her bonuet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill;
Madder. merrier, chillier still
The western wind blew down, and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied young mans cart within.
o western wind. do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair
To gladly, gleeiully, do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast
Where he, as gladly. folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin
O, Ollerv Vane! you little thought
An hour ago, when, you besought
This country lass to walk with you
After the sun had dried the dew.
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

EXTREMES Women, says COM
munlcation in the Chicago Tribune, al
ways 90 to extremes They never have
anything but what they wish it bigger.
Give woman ten story house and she
will sigh for an attic. If only had
some place to store things you knowe
DO you know why waterfalls went out Of
fashion, II was because they got so
big they could no longer carry them.
Don't you remember at first they were
as big as your two fists; then the size Of
sugar bowls and then they grew rapidly
to dinner, market, and bushel-basket
size, and their proportions and weight
were so cumbersome that they suddenly
went out. 1t was SO with hoops. Our
daughters commenced with keg hoops
and went ont with hogheads, and then
they went out. Then came the hustle
which grew so rapidly that it took four
spiral bed springs to make it stick out;
and--now like Toby's candle--it is lick
ering out aud now comes buttons.

CURE FOR EARACHE.-Children a.e
sometimes afflicted with carachc to an
alarming extent, and there is sometimes
difficulty in obtaining an etiectual rem
edy for the disorder. A writer in the
Household says that she takes piece of
salt pork an inch or more long. and balf
an inch square; cut down one end to tit
the hear, and insert 1T, taking care to
have the piece 100 large to slip in. Tie
a handkerchief to keep it in place, If the
child will allow it She also used pork
for sore throat, Group and lung colds.
Cut slices half an inch thick. dip in warm
water, sprinkle on little pepper, and
sew on flannel She has used pork for
earachc especially, and always found it

Grease YOU hands with butter, aad re-
member that the art in pulling candy is
not to hold the candy in the palms Of
