widest, and most reckless little

heart.
And so ended Hugh Walworth's
resolve. I'm not sure that his
oath was broken. But I'm quite
confident that Clara st. Clair was
perfectly satisfied of his love, al
though l can't remember ever
having heard him tell her OF it;
and will have to admit she did most
of the love-making herself. But
Clara Walworth was told to her

loved, and it was twice as welcome
and so much sweeter coming from
q husbands than a lovers lips.

A scientific journal sensibly re-
marks: "If any animal but q fish
were allowed to die u lingering
death by suffocation, or, should be
drowned, people would be quite
unwilling to eat the meat of such
animal, and would consider it an
imposition if provision dealer
should send such things for their
tables. And yet it is usual when
fish are caught to leave them with
out air breathing in their way,
and they die an unnatural death,
after q struggle perhaps for hours.
No one seems to think their flesh
is injured by this suffering. New
ertheless it is. So that il one has
no thought for the unnecessary
of the fish he ought to
kill this instantly out of regard for
his own stomach. He would find
a great improvement in the quality.

Who Are Rich :

The man with good health, is
rich.
So is the man who has a clear
conscience.
So is the parent of virtuous
children.
So is the clergyman whose coat
the children pluck as he passes
them by in their play.
So is the wife who has the whole
of the heart of good husband.
So is the child who goes to sleep
with a kiss on its lips and for
whose waking blessing awaits.
SO is the maiden whose horizon
is not bounded by the common
man, but who has a purpose in
life, whether she meet him or not.
So is the young man who, laying
his hand on his heart, can say: II
have treated every woman / ever
met as l should wish my sister
treated by other men.
But an editor with q big sub
list Is eternally poor, for
he people do not "pay the printer"
