cious than what the ignorant world
calls 'beauty!n-Puach.
WHILE stopping over night at farm
house III Missouri traveller was aston
ished to see his hostess walk up to her
husband about every fifteen minutes
and box his ears or give his hair pull.
In the morning the guest, seeing the
woman alone, asked an explanation of
her strange conduct, and tbe reply was !:
You see, stranger, me and the old man
has been fightin' for ten years to see who
shall boss this ere ranch, and ] have jest
got him cowed, but il should let up on
him for day he would turn on me
again, and my work would all so for
nothin'."
WHEN a Ninth avenue boypitches into
Labrossc street boy and gets bloody
nose he goes home fully prepared for
what he knows will follow. Fighting
again, eh?" inquires the Detroit father.
Well, I'll see you in the woodshed after
dinner" Father" replies the boy,
tears in his eyes, it was that Johnson
boy. He came along and called me the
son of cross-eyed sheep-thief, and,
IaJner, COulunG SJanQ Dy ana near you

feels in his vest pocket for q nickel and
nothing further is said about the wood

The following story is very good but
rather apocryphal: A young man out
West was courting a pretty girl, but her
mother would not permit him to stay
after ten O'Clock, greatly to his and her
daughters disgust. Last New Years
Day that young man presented the old
lady with patent clock of great beauty
and ingenuity. The prospective mother
in-law was greatly pleased, and gave
her old ticker to poor woman who
lived in the neighborhood. Now that
young couple are happy, for this clock is
50 constructed that it will lose three
hours between eight and ten in the even
ing and make it up all right before morn
ing. The old lady watches the clock care
fully and cries "Ahemp as usual when il
gets to be ten. And yet, she says, she Can't
understand what makes her get SO sleepy
before ten, and hate to get up SO bad the
next morning.

Above the moments dear-paid PARADISE;
Beware lest, shifting with Times gradual creep, )
The light that guided shine into your eyes;

Be therefore timely wise,
Nor laugh when this one steals and that one lies,
AS If your luck could cheat those sleepless SPIES
Till the deaf fury come your house to sweep!'

For thee love as those who pardon most.

Away, ungratcful doubt, away! :
At least she is our own to-day;
Break into orapture, mysong,
Verses, leap forth in the sun,
Bearing the ioyance along -
Like train OF fire as ye run!
Pause not for choosing of words,
Let them but blossom and siDg
Blithe as the orchards and birds
With the new coming of springi
Dance in your jollity, bells, ~
Shout, cannon, cease not, ye drums,
Answer, ye hill sides and dells,
Bow, all ye people, she comes,
Radiant, calm-fronted as when
She hallowed that April day;
Stay with us! Yes, thou shalt stay,
Softener and strengthener OF men,
Freedom, not won by the vain,
Not to be courted in play, ~
Not to be kept without pain!
Stay with us! Yes, thou wilt stay,
Handmade and mistress of all,
Kinder of deed and of thought,
Thou, that to hut and to hall
Equal delIverance brought!
Souls OF her martyrs, draw near,
Tough our dull lips with your fire,
That we may praise without fear
Her, our delight, our desire,
Our faiths ineXtingushable star,
Our hope, our remembrance, our trust,
Our present, our past, our to be,
Who will mingle her life with our dust
And make us deserve to be free!

"well, then in this whole world, in East and West
In North and South, In dew and sand and snow
In all sad places where the dead may rest,
There are two graves-yes, there are two I know. y
"But graves have been here for thousand wears
Or for ten thousand? Soldiers die, and kings,
And Christians die-sometimes" "My own poor

Have never yet been troubled by these things.
"More graves within the hollow ground, In sooth,
Than there are stars In all the pleasant sky?
Where did you ever learn such dreary truth,
Oh, wiser and less selfish far than L?

Something to touch, to look at, If no more
Fair earth to live in, who believe in death,

Lift every flower. and every thorn" she said,
