SAYINGS AND DOINGS.
"ONLY a woman's hair" remarked
Spivens, musingly, as he gazed down
into his plate SEA red-headed wol-an
at that! Il may be very sentimental,
but it somehow gets away with my
| appetite"
HELEN NJ. Cooke writes that kisses
on her brow are the richest diadem a
woman's soul aspires to-" And yet n
fellow who kisses young lady on her
brow while her rosy lips are making
motions like patent clothes wringer Is
,, not the ni1n for the position.
HARRIET McEvxE KDiBALL calls such
language as this 90 kiss :"
Only the roses WI hears
Dear.
Only the roses will seeI
This once-just thiei
All the roses, wis,
They envy me
Here is q half-blown spray;
Say.
This shall loves anadem bel
rose-strung wreath
For thy brow, and beneath
A rose for mel
JOHN PAUL one naturalization
Mother of Moses 1t does sometimes
seem to me that people, 80 far from not
knowing enough to go in when 1t rains,
don't even know enough to get under 8
tree. Here the fools sit gaping at the
show on the stage; why doesn'tl some
one seize "Santum" by the scruf OF
the neck, and hook on to "Honto" by
the top-knot? II they're spirits they'll
melt away and dissolve, and there's no
harm done and if, on the contrary.

the broad of q shovel could be applied
to no better agricultural purpose than
the putting of heavy top-dressing
where it would make sitting down IN
comfortable and standing up the only
thing to be thought of.
Or1s o. HALL, OF San Francisco, was
a bank teller, two years ago, at salary
of $4,000. He loved Miss Sharon.
Miss Sharon loved him. Mr.. Sharon
was agreeable, but the elder Hall adj
vised Otis to wait pair of years, travel
in Europe: grow worldly-wise, return
and marry. ALI this Otis did as he was
parentally advised. He left, his situa-
ton in San Francisco, made an extern
sive tour of Europe, and short time
ago returned, the period of his proba-
ton having elapsed. He got back just
in time to read in the newspapers OF the
marriage of Miss Sharon, his betrothed,
to T. g. Newlands. young lawyer OF
San Francisco. It was also stated for
HALLS further edification that Newlands
had received 81 ZOO, 900 in cash for his
beautiful bride. Hall got position as
clerk in q Chicago hardware store, but
he is not Chicago Times.
A CINCINNATI youth, who parts his
hair in the middle, made a slight mis-
take at q theater in that city the other
night. In order to obtain clearer
perception of high note by singer,
he reached in his coat-tail pocket and
brought forth what he thought was an
opera-glass, but what proved tobe re-
vised compilation of Deringer. People
in his immediate vicinity were surprised
and somewhat frightened to see him
elevate the ordnance to his eyes and
steadfastly gaze down into his dark
dark caverns of death. 1t was upon
first impression, thought to be cool
deliberately planned suicide, but when
he quietly put it back in his pocket
and brought thu real article into requi-
sition the horror melted from before
their eyes, and it became apparent that
it was only mistake after all. A few
hairs whose beat lay on the larboard
side of the young mans skull had by
some means gotten on the starboard
side hence the slight alteration OF
mind.

ndulging in too lively music. One
sunday, after a rather indistinct per-
