A correspondent of the Toledo Blade
SAYS that Gail Hamilton is fair and
freckled, with yellowish- brown hanging
eurls. She dresses Very richly and some
what peculiarly. In her youth she was
utterly Indifferent to dress, but now that
she is between forty and fifty she is
getting dandified.
"A young lady is very anxious to
know whether tailors really do stuff the
shoulders of young mems coats with pad
ding and buckram, so as to make them
look broad shouldered and manly. And
she says she means to slyly stick a pin
full length into her beau's shoulder next
Sunday evening to find out for herself.
There is world for contemplation
in observing a young girl gazing upon
the tender petals of the rose her lover
has just given her, and then looking at
the same woman five years after, as she
stands behind huckster cart and tells
the owner she wouldn't give five cents
for such a head of cabbage if she had to
do without it all her life.
THE CossACK's LAMENT.
! o Kara me back to Old Bulgary,
To Old 3ulgary's shore,
| feel quite strange in this Balkan range,
And want to go home, what's more.
On the Danube's stand I'd like to stand
| Pm sick and tired of the war;
Then Kara me back to Old Bulgary,
To Old Bulgary's shore.

An emigration agent was running
on about how the milk and honey and
bread and sugar trees covered the Libe-
rian forests, and bananas, cocoanuts,
pineapples, lemons and all the tropical
fruits grew everywhere. "Dat's 'nough
of dat story" said the old darby; " dat
amt so, kase, if it was, de white man
would went dar long ago, and the mig
gers nebber would hab known muffin
bout it."
The recent prevalence of typhoid
fever IN Rochester, N Y, is proved by
! scientific analysis to be due to impure
( well water. Prof. baltimore, of Roches-
ter University, has tested water from wells
on forty different streets, and finds that
surface drainage and bad sewers have
made the average of impure salts per
| gallon 1878 grains, an amount three or
four times that which is compatible with
health. He doubts if there is well of
pure water in the city.
-"You cannot, oh day-star of my
life," he pleaded, throwing himself at
her fcet-"you cannot refuse the rich,
eXhaustless mine of love pour at your
feet, you cannot turn away from the rare
treasures of my hearts devotion that
cast before you, you cannot turn away
from all this lavish wealth of heart and
hand that is yours to take, and say me
nay~ She couldn't, and she didn't; it
sounded toe wealthy. That was nearly
four years ago. Day before yesterday he
| gave her three dollars and eighty-five
cents to run the house week, and when
she said she would have to have a new
pair of shoes he raised the appropriation
to an even dollar, and grumbled about
woman's extravaganza till he was out of
hearing.

Fond hearts thrObbng for you there;
Tell me, would you ask for more
Should you? could you?
If you owned the "ready'-would you ?
