NUMBER A.
a Young Man Who Wants Advice.

1t was the second time he had accom-
panied the young lady homo from one of
those little social parties which are gotten
up to bring fond hearts step nearer to
each other.
Whom they reached the the gate she
asked him if ho wouldn't come in. He
said he would, and he followed her into
the house. 1t was calm, still night" :"
and the hour was SO late that he had no
fear of seeing the old folks. Sarah took
his hat, told him to sit down, and sho
left the room to lay off her things. She
was hardly gone before her mother came
in, smiled sweetly, and dropping down
beside tho young man said
always did say that il poor but
respectable young man fell in love with
Sarah, he should have my consent. Some
mothers would sacrifice their daughters
happiness for riches, but am not one of
/ that Glass;
The young man gave a start of alarm.
He didn't know whother he liked Sarah
or not, and he hadn't dreamed Of such
thing US marriage.
"She has acknowledged to me that she
loves YOU" continued the mother, "and
whatever is for her happiness is for mine.
The young man gave two starts OF
alarm this time, and felt his cheeks grow
pale.
Ill haven't" he stammored, when
she said:
ION, never mind. know you haven't
much money, but of course youll 1.-Two
with me, Won take in boarders, and
IN risk but that Wen get along all right"
1t was II bad situation. Hehadnt oven
, looked love at Sarah, and he felt that ho
ought to undecoive the mother.
81 hadn't no idea of-of-" he stam-
mered, when she hold up her hands and
said
d" know you hadn't but it's all right.
With your wages and wha! the boarders
bring in, we shall get along us snug as
bugs in a rug"
" But, madam, but-but--"
can ask that you bo good to her."
interrupted the mother Sarah has a ten
der heart and II loving nature, and il you
should be cross and ugly it would break
her down within week"
Tho young mans eyes stood out like
cocoanuts in II show window, and he roso
up and tried to say something. llo said
" Groat heavens madam, can't per-
nit"
Never mind the thanks" she inter
rupted. 60 don't believe in long court
ships myself, and let me suggest nu early
day for the marriage. Tho nth OF Sep
tember is my birthday, and it would bo
nice for you to be married on that day"
" But-but- but" he gasped
There, there, | don't expect any
speech in reply" she laughed. " You
and Sarah fix it up tonight, and I'll ad-
vertisc for twelve boarders right away.
III try and be model mother-in-law.
believe am good tempered and kind
/ hearted, though did once follow ayoung
man two hundred miles and shoot the
top OF his head off for agreeing to marry
Sarah and then jumping the country"
She patted him on tho head and sailed
out, and now tho young man wants adj
vice. lilo wants to know whether he had
better get IN the way Of Il locomotive or
! slide off the wharf.

ADVICE TO a PoET.-A young gentle
man named Joseph sends to the New
ork Tribune some verses for publica-
tion, the worst the editor remembers to
have wrestled with. He wishes us, says
the Tribune, to print them, and pay for
them "what we think them to be worth"
There is nothing unusual about the CON
signment of broken backed stanzas but
in letter that comes with them the writ
er tells us he ''does not know whether to
be farmer or a poet,' and our advice is
invoked respecting the dilemma. "My
minister says" observes Joseph, "that l
have great deal of talent, and that it
makes the tears come into his eyes, to
read my poems; but my grandfather
says he had rather see me hoe potatoes"
And then the confession follows at is
great deal easier for me to write poetry
than to hoe potatoes" OF course it is
but which is the more respectable busi-
ness ? Poets just now are as plenty as
peaches but tirst-class potato-diggers,
with real genius for that business, are
not SO common, There are prizes to be
won in this department of human energy
and wreaths which may be economically
woven of the tops of the plant itself. Jo-
seph, the head of your reverend grandsire
is level. You say he is "old fashioned, +"
but so is common sense, which is none
the worse for its antiquity, Potatoes will
always be in demand, bat poems are al
ready drug in the market, with nopros-
pect of diminished supply and increased
demand. The pen is mighter than the
sword, we admit, but the plowshare beats
both. Wherefore, we hope that you will
follow the advice of grandpa, young Jo-
seph, and write no poems when you can
find anything better to do.

"LILLIE LENoRE" " writes to the Potts
vile Miners JoufnuL defending the
pull-back skirts. She says " We think
now, otter sufficient review of the pres
ent style of dress worn by females, that
there is nothing more suited for our dis
position than the pull-backs." And we
have no disposition to contradict her.
"If men take exceptions to them" she
says, 1--WE can also, with the best OF grace
take exceptions TO the narrow breeches
worn by them" Yes, and some OF her
sex would like to take the breeches as
well as the exceptions. " Lille" " asks I:
Is there any person in this mundane
sphere more anxious to see a beautiful
aud we'll shaped form than are the men?"
We give it up. But "Lilie is right.
The man who doesn't admire the present
style of feminine attire, but considers it
immodest, should go to Patagonia, where
