MY GUIDE AULD WIFE.

OF DINSA cay her bonnie face -.
lie altered by the touch OF timei
Nor say her form has lost tho grace H
The matchess grace that marked lite primo.
To me she's fairer, lovelier now
Than crowned wi bloom o. earlier days;
For changefu' years have only made
More winsome all her looks and ways
List to her voicei Was e'er tone
Sac full o. tender love and truthf
Match me its music, II ye can,
WI a. the gleesome air o. YOUTH
And then her e'e-ber gentle e'e-- ..H
What though its laughing light has fed,
If in its calm blue depthe see
heaven Of peace and JOY insteadi
Her sunny locks-yes they are changed,
Yet still | bow to times behest,
For though the rogue has stole the gold,
| love, love the SiUer best.
What could become that fair meek brow
Like those smooth, lustrous bands OF white
/ touch them reverently, as one
Might touch an angels crown OF light;
For life's inevitable storms
Its waves of grief, its clouds of care,
Its many trials brayely borne,
Have made these tTesses what they are;
But praise to Him who rules the worldl
Good smiles beside each frowning III
The storms, dear wife, that bleachcd thy locks
Have made thy spirit whittier still.
If thou didst seem flower before,
For sportivc days OF sunshine given,
Thou smileet on my pathway now,
The star that lights clouded heaven.
What though the lengthening shadows fall
That show me near my days decline,
fear no doom, dread no change,
While thy dear hand is clasped in mine.
Ali they who name the women Uedk
Know not what thou hast been to me!
One Being, only One, can know
The holy strength I've learned from thee.
All cares were sweet, all burdens light,
All crosses crowns while thou vert nigh
Thy love hath taught me how to live;
Thy smile shall teach me how to die.

What do VIC thereP That taste of
heaven-more, that taste Of heaven after
black and bitter draught--belongs to them
Every. body down stairs forgot thcin,
except Miss Lahnman. Fifteen minutes
passed. Then Miss Bahnman, not being
innately a lady, and no longer able TO
curb her curiosity and her Jealousy, came
softly up the steps. 20.
What an age IL takes to remove

up. Some of the sweetness was out of

f" II has been worth its weight, not in
gold, but in diamonds" He was sitting
on Joe's bench, with somewhat such an
air as ii it had been an imperial throne.
Miss Strickland was replacing some
hair.pins, and her face was that of the
goddess of mofniDg-celestial rosy red
Some time after this, Mr.. Gilbert en-
joyed the pleasure CT an explanatory in
terview with the ingenious "blowef. - g.
Without alarming his inventive powers
by any reference TO the lost note, he con-
trived to learn from that artless youth one
or two facts which threw some light upon
its fate.
"a while ago." said Joe, "that ERE
piece o. cloth-nO sense anyhOw-cot
loose and tripped me up time or two.
And down came-bang! once, when Mr..
Grey was a-prsyin'. l didn't catch it
then, guessl Oh, no he never said a
cross word in his life. lie wouldn't"
But these eulogics were explained and
commented upon by appropriate expires
sions, which left no doubt that his re-
marks were entirely ironical. He further
stated that, in a Jealous mood, he had
then improved the condition of his bench
by mailing the cloth fast, and by mailing
over it strip of wood to hold it down.
All unconscious of the letter that had
slipped from his pocket between the cloth
and the cushion, he had thus locked up
for little while this key to two destinies.
Joe was surprised atthe donation which
rewarded this information. But still it
obtained his entire approval. This was
mode of expressing appreciation of his
merits which he understood and appre.
ciated. .-Hdrper's Weekly.

Uncle Daniels Sharp sOn.in.Law.

MIR. DREW had daughter who was
widow and very rich. Her father was
trustee, and had the handling of her
money. He kept her money with his own
and ii was all mixed up financially and
speculatiyely. The lady married min
lister, and the father did not object, sup
posing that simple hearted minister
wouldn't look very closely into the man
ner in which his wife's money was invest
ed. He had rich wife, and that was
enough. The man had an eye to bust
ness, and as soon as the honeymoon was
over, he began to overlook his wife's es-
tate lie did not believe that it was wise
or safe that a woman's property should be
floating about the street. He called Mr.
Drew's attention to the matter, demand
ing an accounting, and insisted that his
wife's property should be Immediately
and safely invested. The great bear was
astonished and indignant, and reminded
the minister that he had better attend to
his own affairs. He thought that rescu-
ing his wife's property from the mael-
srom OF speculation, and guarding her
against bankruptcy and want, was part
of his business. He pressed the matter
till his point was carried, and now the
schedule of Mr.. Drew's debts does not
embrace a million or two due 10 his

True Love Gone out of Fashion.

The country never possessed so many
beautiful marriageable young women as
it does at the present time. And why do
we not have more marriages. We an
swer, because marriage for love is the
exception and not the rule. The young
people of this age have gone fashion and
money mad. If the dandy bank clerk
who pays one-half of his income for board
and the other half for clothes cannot i'm
prove his condition he will not marry
The shop girl who earns good wages and
cannot be distinguished by her dress from
the bankers daughter, certainly will not
plunge into matrimony unless she can
better her condition in life. If a man is
fortunate enough to possess money, it
matters not how old or ugly he may be,
hundreds of intelligent handsome young
women can be found only too willing TO
become his wife. Love is an after consid-
Grafton. They marry TO be supported and
dress extravagantly. How often do we
hear the remark, Better to be an old
mans darling than a poor mans slave"
Alas! too many of them are not satisfied
to be darlings. They will persist in loving
other men after they are married.
1t cannot be denied that a great number
of unmarried men are adventurers, looking
for wives who can keep them without
working for living The peace and con
tent of happy home are not taken into
consideration. They are willing to suffer
hell upon earth if they can be kept in
idleness. If our people do not abandon
this extravaganza of dress and greed for
money, our country will be filled with old
bachelors and old maids We must have
more genuine courtship and marriage, to
have prosperity and happiness in this
world Too many marry for money, only
to be disappointed and unhappy tue rest
Of their lives.-AlbaAy argus.

A Rock Failing from Lookout MOunt-
IT ~ abA ain.


OK Sunday hundreds went 10 the mount
ain to see the immense mass that is slowly
severing itself from the ledge at Bragg's
Bluff, near the toll gate. The first indi-
cations of the severing process were dis
covered about week ago, and since then
the work has been almost constantly go-
ing on. The greatest progress so far dis
covered has been an inch an hour; but on
Sunday, at $3.50 p. m, it had reached a
distance of about sixteen feet from the pa
rent ledge. The crevice is about thirty
feet deep. The length of the falling rock
is about 100 feet, the width about twenty
five feet, and the weight is estimated to
be 5000 tons. The rock commences just
above the spring near the tOll-gate, out of
which, standing under this great mass of
rock, so many people have drank, feeling
perfectly secure. When The rock falls it
will take with it this cool chamber where
in so many have slaked their thirst

The Buffalo Courier tells the follow.
ing attempt Of robbery at Mayville,
Monday morning about 2 o'clock /:
"The car of the Paymaster ofthe road a.,
r. H. Lecky, Was lying on side track
with an engine attached and all was
supposed secure until the hour men,
toned, when the night watchman of
the depot, a man named Peterson,
heard a noise that sounded like the
escape of steam from the engine. He
Immediately went over and saw a
man in the cab poking up the fire and
throwing in fuel. He accostei him
and ordered him off the engine but
the man refused in the meantime
making the most energetic efforts to
raise the steam to a pressure that
would be sufficient to start the engine.
Peterson then attempted to climb into
the cab, when the desperate told him
that if he didn't stop he would kill
him. As Peterson was not man to
be intimidated by such a threat, he
succeeded in getting up on the engine
and Immediately got hold of the fel-
low who had drawn the throttle out
to full length. The engine groaned
and started trifie but the amount of
steam was not sufficient, and SO the
most daring attempt at robbery was
frustrated. Peterson succeeded in de-
tanning his prisoner until the Sheriff
arrived, when he was taken to the jail
and locked up. His evident intention
was to run the car down the road
until at safe distance from any depot
and there meet his accomplices with
whom he would share the plumber.
There was in the car about $4,000.
