A young man {says the Atlanta Constuution),
born Of poor put honest parents, went to SEE
his sweetheart on Thursday night. Hcr young
est brother, during the "prinlping interval, -
entertained the beau as follows:

POETRY AND POLoNAIsE.
The lofty reachings Of she average feminine
mind are sometimes stsrtlingly exemplifcd.
Yesterday (says the Dctrdt Free Press) an acci-
dent occurred at the residence of gentleman
on Elizabeth street East, Which not only aptly
illustrates the fearful and wonderful architec-
ture Of the average feminine mind aforesaid,
but gives new significance to the idea crys-
tallized ia the phrase, "huling passion strong
in DEATH"
The gentleman had discovered an exquisite
poetic gem, and, in the delight Of his discovery,
invited the attention Of two ladies to it. They
listened with intent ear while the reader gave
voice to the glowing and graceful thoughts of
the poet. When the reading was finished the
gentleman turned to bis companions for a word
or a look OF appreciation. &c saw their faces
aglow, their lips parted in an intensity Of feel
ing, and their eyes bright with-what! Shade
of Homer!
s'Look, look there!'' exclaimed one Of the
ladies with the utmost eagerncss, "that wom-
an'-pointing to lady on the opposite side Of
up the back! I should think" addressing her
"she'd have good time getting
into it when she wanted to dress in "A hurry"
IT should think SO, too,7 returned the other,
It but it hangs pretty-doHt you think so!"
The gentleman gave ane startled look, in
which amazernent struggled with horror for an
instant; he picked up his hat and cane, and
started off pell-nell to hare a look at the polo
naise that buttoncd up the back.
JENNIE JUNES PRAYER.
In her last fashion-lettd, Jennie june SAYS
For heavens sake, whaterer we do, let us get
id OF this mess OF useless rubbish at the back
IT our skirts; of the indegant, inconycnient,
lnthy, long, narrow tenrture, and adopt q
style which, at least, does not destroy the fabric
before It is worn, and doeznot depend on a cats
:radle OF tapes and stitches for daily and hourly
adjustment.
lhls tor a daily prayer Tor those who are not
oncclned about their dily bread, would be
itnely and apropos:
"0h Lord THOU hast freed the slave and civ
N the colorcd man the right in common With
lis brethren to vote. No other important ones
ion being now before Thee, may It please Thee
Q pay some attention to women; unt) first NJ |
Il try to teach them little common sense
18th regard to their dress, and Thine be lie |
raise forever and ever, anlen.''
