A Detroit grocer, VIII has little time
to study human nature, and who'd save
money If he had little more time, wrote
note to several parties selected for the
occasion to the effect that he had lost his
sccount books and must depend upon
their honor to call and give in the bal
anee against them. One of them replied
that pc presumed he owed three or four
dollars, when the books showed chat he
owed S2S; another thought there might
be possible balance against him, though
he had been very careful to pay cash down,
and yet his account was Sl4 and over
Out of twelve or fourteen customers, the
grocer found one who replied that he ow.
ed S3 80, being fifty cents too much. He
then wrote 50 each that he had found his
books, and sent statement Of account,
and as they dropped into the store one at
a time, each laughed, shook hands, and
remarked:
II knew it was one Of your jokes, of
course, and so thought I'd give you q
chance to play it clear through,'

The Terrible Screw Worm.

Mr.. Samuel Myers Is now lying bed
fast at his home in this place afflicted
with that terrible malady the scrsw worm.
MIR Myers has been sick Of late with fe-
YER, and on Monday last while lying in
bed one of these flies alighted near his
nostrils. 1t requires but u few moments
for one of these flies to deposit hundreds
of eggs which are tatohed and are grown
inside of an hour, many Of them as much
as one half inch in length. Mr. Myers,
upon awakening, felt slight ticking in
tue nose, and il was not until his eyes
and face had become fearfully swollen
that the physician discovered the pres.
ence of the worms. Tue only known
remedy WAS applied -calomel ane earhpl

Too Old a Bird.

A couple Of chaps, whose years will be
few in the land if they do not reform, en-
tered Gratiot avenue saloon five or six
days ago, and one of them explained to
the proprietor:
This fellow and mo have got bet.
| bet him $40 that Grant will be the next
president, and he takes me up. Here's
the money--we want you to keep it until
the bet is decided IN 1880"
al will do 20" was the calm reply, as
the money WAS raked in.
Tho strangers departed each vigorous
ly asserting that he wasn't afraid to trust
the saloonist, and they were not seen
again until yesterday forenoon. They
then appeared to remark;
I'VE have been talking the thing over
and have concluded to withdraw that bet
1t has been some trouble to you, and il
you hand over nine dollars we'll call il
square
I'm no such man as dot replied
the saloonist, as he opened the till
Il makes no charge-here ish der

He threw them out the two fives they
had left, SLY twinkle in his eye, and as
they slid out he called after them:

"ls Y not big enough to wear on your
finger2'
"Oh, yes! but"
And the beautiful eyes were uplifted,
and Maurice saw something away down
in the shining depths which started a feel
ing in his heart that he had fancied dead,
long years ago.
But You were waititg, for somebody
to put it on, hey, little wife n
The warm blood rushed, in torrent,
ov face and neck, aud Amy could not
answer; but Maurice, remembering the
childish love and jealousy, and seeing
the rings, and the young face full of earn
estness, knew now what all this meant
and grandma, said, in his hearing,
when they had both came into the par
lor;
waiting, ali these years, For this man, YOU
may depend on it,
Christmas came on, and again the
rooms rang with merry voices, and
feasting, dancing, games and charades
came each in their turn, and were exhaus-
ted.
1--WE have done everything" said some
one, "and it is only eight O'Clock. What
can we do now2"
Grandma was going through the room
inst then, and with ioguish glance at the
corner where Amy and Maurice were
chatting, called;
"Have wedding, Squire Leslie, right
here"
And Maurice leaned down aud whis-
pered:
"Shall it be you and me, Amy p
And Amy, seeing his true eyes,
said:
"YesW
So right there they stood up before
Amy's uncle, and Maurice, with his
own hands, loosel the chain aud re-
moved the ring, SO long and faithfully
worn. ..
"Are you in fun ?" asked Squire Les
lie.
81 No, in real earnest. We were
welded at heart, nine years ago to-
night
And in the midst of great silence,
Maurice and Amy were married. and
the chased gold ring was placed upon her
finger.
OF course they were happy, and grand
ma ceased to call Amy an old maid, and
wonder why she could let Murray and his
millions pass unnoticed.

Zcke Wilson'S Idea of He'll, and How
an "AngeI" COmfOrted Him.

Early this morning one Of Virginia's
p3RAaeeh,Rlxenes.s was y .. ahsnrnad tai1iae
a pile of wood, The snow was about
two inches deep, and the atmosphere
just bracing enough to render exertion
enjoyable; but strange to say, the express
sion on his face was anything hut Of
pleasure. He paused for few moments,
rested his elbow on his knee, and remark
ed, thoughtfully: "Well, ] don't think
Beachcr was quite right when he allowed
there was no ell There moughtn t hev
bin afore women KEN along, like the yal-
Ter fever, to play the dashed BANKED duce
with us What good is woman any
how that lays in bed till 10 O'Clock and
makes her husband do Chinaman's work,
like this, I'd like to know 2"
He was evidently getting angry. He
wiped his damp forehead with red
handkerchief and cast wistful glanccs in
the direction Of the woodshed,
"Now, thar's Jake Smith next door.
What nice time Jake has layn' in bed
and takin' his comfort like Christian,
All that wife Of Jake's is an angel She
is up with the sun gettin' things ready,
chopin round and a-ixin up nice cup
Of coffee for Jake, to take to him in bed
All, well we capt all be happy And
the poor man slowly wiped away crys
tai tear that dripped from his nose
"Why, there's Jake's wife now and I'm
blest if she amt startin' in opposition
agn me at the wood sawin'. If I'd
met her afore did the old woman--Good
morning, Mrs Smith, as mild eyed
little woman cautiously peered over the
fence.
Good morning, Mr.. Wilson" respon
ded the lady in tone Of commiseration.
And how do you feel to day ?"

The rheumatics is a gettin worse in my
jints and this open air exercise don't do
me no good nohow, s'pose I'm not

Poor man" sighed the little woman.

warm you up little. ! took it out of

Mr. Wilson's eyes grew moist, although
his throat was dry.

POET r Y.
Wait and See.

When my boy, with eager questions,
Asking how and when and where,
Taxes all my store OF W isdom,
Asking DER and DER again.
Questions oft, to which the answers,
Give to others still the key,
have said, to teach him patience.
"Wait, my little boy, and see."
And the words taught my darling.
Taught to me lesson sweet;
once, when all the world seemed darken'd
And the storm about me beat
In the children's room heard him.
With child's sweet mmicry.
10 the baby brothers questions
