Take the Papers.

Why don't you take the papers
They re the light of my delight;
Except about election time.
And then read for spite.
Subscribe you cannot lose cent
Why should you be afraid
For cash thus paid is money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go then and take the ARGUS,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for il Is inferred,
You'll hive until you're gray.
An old neighbor OF mine,
While dying with soough.
Desired TO hear the latest news
While he was going of.
took the paper and reii
OF some new pills in force
He bought box-and is lac deal!
No-hearty as horse.
knew two men, as much alike
As e'er you saw two stumrs;
And no phrcnologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers. and his life
Istarp'er than q kings
His children al can read and write,
Aud talk OF men and things.
The other took on paper, and,
While stroling in the wood,
A tree fell down and broke his crown
And killed him-"very good"
Had he been reading Of the news
At home like ncighbor Jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't You take the papcrsi
Nor from the printer sneak.
Because You borrow from his boy
A paper every week ..r- IsF.f..
For he who takes the Anous,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with Alpena printers too.

The delicate pink deepened on
Nora's cheek. Clarendon Fillmore

days Of their friendship, but Nora
had been quite coquette enough to
daunt him. | remember one day
when he had been teasing her pitt

ing npon one of her lady acquaint-

was staying, and Clarendon soon
had the satisfaction Of seeing her
walking with the pleasant fop,
looking up at him with interest and
delight. After, Clarendon was
very grave for a time, but Nora.

him an anonymous note bearing

struggle, and nothing being heard

man, who professed love for her.

that she consented to join lots with

matter before the Chension. The
Magistrate listened attentively to
both sides of the story, and at first
appeared puzzled what course to

second husband were legal, but the
first husband was obdurate, and
would not yield. At length the

wife in his hands for ten days, and
then both were to come back for
his decision. This was agreed to.
About the fifth or sixth day the
Magistrate, in great haste, sent for
the two men, and with a mournful
countenance informed them that the
wife had been suddenly smitten
with an illness which had proved
fatal, and that she was dead and
he asked the first husband whether
