PARAGRAPHS OF THE PERIOD.

| TWO cnlluren were InhkliE HlOsl ol lue uhy
In the sand their castles building,
| While out in the harbo- the sunset gold
Was every vessel gliding.
But the sea came over the castles dear;
And the charm Of sunset faded;
| Oh, after a labor is lost, may we'
| Go happily home as they did
For We Guild and build in different way,
Till our heads are wise and hoary;
But after it all the sun goes down,
| And the sea-'tis common story.

A Chicago woman cured her hus-
band of staying out late at night by GO
| ing to the door when he came home and
whispering through the keyhole els
that you, Willie?" Her husbands
name is John, and he stays at home
every night now and sleeps with one eye
open and revolver under his pillow.
WEDDING journeys, like the practice
of making wedding presents, according
to the latest fashionable intelligence,
are out of style. Happy and favored
young men and women of the dayI
Fashion, then, no longer requires you
to make show of yourselves, and you
cah get married in peace. No lost
time, no fuss, no crowds, no awkward
groomsmen, no chalky bridesmaids, no
marching up aisles, no execrable tunes,
no splitting gloves, no dropping rings,
no kissing parsons, no carriages, no re-
ceptions, no presents, no journeys, no
expenses, no cards. Welcome and en-
couraging change.
If might do one deed of good,
One LITTLE deed before die
Or think one noble thought, that should
Hereafter not forgotten lie,
/ would not fnurmur, though must
Be lost in DEATHS unnumbered dust.
That fiimsy wing that traits the seed
Upon the careless wind TO earth,
OF it's short life has only need
To find the germ fit place for BIRTH
For one swift moment of delight
II whirls, then withers out of sight.

The Rev. Mr.. Snyder, of Pittsburg,
preached against the sinfulness of over
dressing. How many Christians
he asked, "spend an hour every Sun
day morning upon their knees in de-
votions preparatory to service? Not
very many, surely. And yet how
many there are who spend much
longer time than this every Sunday
morning on their feet before the glass
in getting ready for cburch---there Is
so much to he done with hoops and
folds and ribbons and pullbacks.'
Mr.. Torr, of Aylesbury, England,
recently sold eighty fine cattle for
s214,6 $50, being an average of s2,525
a head. The highest priced beast,
Bright Empress, brought $40, 800; the
other cows sold at $4,000, 81, 800, S.
900, two at SIS, 900, and heifers at from
s., 900 to Sc. 600.
Here is a self-evident truth from the
Baltimore American: Gan American
citizen ought at all times consider that
casting a vote on election day Is not
merely right or privilege which he
may exercise or not at his pleasure or
but that it is also duty
of the most imperative nature.
Two seas amidst the night,
In the moonshine roll and sparkle,
Now spread in the silver light
Now sadden, and wall, and darkle
The one has a billowy motion,
And from land to land it CLEANS;
The other is sleeps wide ocean,
And the glinmering waves are dreaihs'
The one, with murmur and roar,
Bears fleets round coast and islet;
The other, without shore,
Meier knew the track of pilot.
English physicians are in the habit
of sending patients to Italy, to get the
benefit of the climate and drink asses
milk. In order to secure the purity OF
the milk, the asses are ordered each
day to the patients door, where the
milking is done under his own eye or
that of servantor friend. Atraveler,
writing of this custom, says that "the
in the Italian towns usually
carry a bladder of lukewarm water
under their cloaks, kept upto the heatof
the body under the armpits, the con-
tents of which they furtively infuse in
the face of the domestics, who never sus-
pect the trick. Thus are poor patients,
when given up by the faculty and sent
to languish under an Italian sun, and
die, turned over to the tender mercies
of tricksters, generally the associates or
creatures of cheating hotelkeepers.
