The Last Look.

Ene Lstst LOOK.
They say the years since last we met
Have wrought sad change in thee;
That il were better to forget
Our youths fond history.
And yet FUN would clasp that hand,
Would meet those eyes once more,
Ono moment by thy side would stand,
As have stood of yore.
They say the very tones that thrill'd
My heart, and dimm'd my eyes,
Now, by the cold worlds blighting child
i scarce might recognize.
And yet long to hear thee speak,
Repeat some bygone strain,
Although the charm there could seek
Were listened for in vain.
would not wish the years rolled back,
Could such a choice be mine,
Nor falter in the onward track,
Though severed far from thine.
But pilgrims may from hard-worn heights
Receding homes survey,
And give n sigh to past delights.
Yet, sighing-tmn away.

The Handiest Tool in Use (!

y
The guileless young man had
never owned a watch in all his life,
but he entered the store like man
who had pulled watch from his
pocket million times per day for
fifty years. He went right by the
case containing the green sleeve
buttons, on past the case of silver
ware, right up to the case where a
hundred watches rested in velvet
cases or on velvet-lined trays. The
jeweler handed out key-winders,
stem-winders, stop-watches, watch
es corpulent with machinery,
watches thin and gaunt, but tick
ing regularly and merrily. The
young man soliloquized. He said
to himself:
81 dunno. I dunno. It's durn-
ed purity, bat its whole hoss and
buggy y"
The jeweler Hattered him a lit
tie and urged him more, offered
him written guarantee that the
watch was all right; and the young
man soliloquized another soliloquy.
He said:
"Think of me walking up to
Susan with this ere watch kicking
minutes into hours And won't
the other fellows skulk around the
cider-mill when this ticker SHES
up to their old bull's-eyes and
vanished cases! There's a hoss
barn full of style and dignity right
here; but then 1t makes me sigh
to think of putting a horse and
buggy into my vest-poclxetp p
He laid the watch down, picked
it up, laid 1t down again and start
ed for the door. Hating midway,
he said to himself:
"Tll have it-by golly, I'll have
that ticker If the old man never
looks at me again J"
He handed over the money, the
jeweler gave him a cord for moth
ing, and he hurried out Of the
store as il fearful that he might
change his mind. Going around
by the post-ofiice, boot black
asked him II he would have q shine.
There was his opportunity. He
pulled out the watch with a ma
jestic air, sprung open the cases,
and loftily replied:
"I haven't time"
"Say, you" cried the boy, "but
that's a nice ticker"
"See there see there y whisper
ed the young man with orange
colored whiskers; "when me and
the old boss and buggy was rolling
here nobody said nothing. Now
they just come for me in crowds"
AS he walked up the street to q
point from whence he could view
the City Hall clock his heart gave
a jump. He trembled as he pulled
out his watch to compare time, but
after q glance his face cleared, he
slapped his log, and the boys heard
him saying:
"She's all right to a tick, and

stole It. His sisters red-headed
baby bit 1t square in two. 1t took
legs and ran away from him. At
midnight he awolse, saw that the
