What will you say to your wife"
Brown Gin a whisper): ooh, | shan't
say much you know Good morning,
dear or something of that sort. She'll
say the rest"
SuEon her lovers arm did hang,
And oft her heart went pitt pat;
Her hair did have frghtu bang
Which hung beneath new spring hat
They walked together down the street,
And pleasant all the earth did seem,
Until she said with voice sweet,

SHE used to meet him at the gate with
kiss and smile, like morning light
but now she comes to the door in a dingy
old calico wrappr, and shoes down at
the heel, shades her eyes with her hand
and in a voice that seems to need
oiling, inquiries, "Did you bring that
butter?"
A WOMAN will make many sacrifices
for her husband, but none of them have
got to that degree of Spartan firmness
that they can resist the temptation to
drop man just as the people COM

YOUNG lady, very much shocked !;
ooh, ma, did you notice that insulting
puppy that has just passed us? | looked
at the wretch until he got away out of
sight, and he had the impudence to stare
at me, the horrid thing, and just as he
tn rned the corner he actually lifted his
hat and bowed. y Whitehall Times.

Amanda writes us from Wells as fol-
lows: az have had two proposals of
marriage-one from railroad conduc-

got the most money. Which would you

him, and then marry the ticket

AT the last drawing room in London
the Countess of Charlemont attracted
great attention by her train and jewels.
The former was covered with lace of
extraordinary beauty, bought by Lord
Charlemont for his wife from the execu-
ton of Cardinal Fesch, to whom it had
been given by Napoleon /. The dia-
mdnds had been reset from designs by
DIR. Schliemann, and the tiara was a
counterpart of one which ages ago had,
perhaps, appeared on a swell at the court
of Agamemnon.
THE Countess Helena Gazewska has
been arrested lately, at Vienna, for de-
frauding jewellers. 1t has been proved
already that within a comparatively
short time her frauds at Paris amounted
to $4,000, at Marseilles to 100000, at
Yverdun to $4,000, at Nice to $1,000,
at Monaco to $4,000, at Brussels to
$4,000. The Countess disposed of the
Jewels thus obtained to persons in good
society, whom she made believe that
the Jewels were her own, and that she
sold them in order to help the Russian
wounded.
A WOMAN who had spent the greater
part of the day in going to auction sales
concluded she would attend service at a
fashionable church in New York on her
way home. Wearied and worn out, she
soon became oblivious to her surround
ings, and was only awakened by the
rustling of the congregation as they
arose to receive the benediction. See
ing the minister's hand raised in the air,
she waved her handkerchief at him and
said, in firm, clear voice, "Tll take
the green washstand if you'll throw in
the bowl and pitcher.-Andreacs' Bazar
