A DINNER AND A KISS.

- have brought your dinner, tather,
The blacksmith daughter said,
AS She took from her arms q Kettle
And lifted its shining lid.
There's not any pie or pudding.
Sol will give you this.
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took of his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss:
But he never thought Of magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
MerriIy trudged away,
stopping at sight of a squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
And thought how many shadow
OF life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with kiss.

Much as we have tried to improve
our swine, it must be remembered that
what is gained in quantity and quality
of flesh is at the expense of the bristles,
for the finer the hog the fewer the bris-
ties. The sale of bristles is an import
ant trade in Russia, amounting to some
100000 pounds, valued at $5,000,000
They are obtained from the wild hogs

CHEESE as an animal food, may, with
advantage, be substituted for butchers
meat, at the current prices. There are
good and substantial reasons for regard
ing cheese as a wholesome and valuable
food, and it is worthy of even a more
liberal consumption than it now re-
REEVES. English people probably con-
sumo more cheese than any other ma
ton on the globe, or in the proportion
of about ten pounds yearly to each in
habitant. In the United States the con-
sumption is only half the quantity.

ness manager of the paper, is of different
opinion. He states that Mendahl, on several
occasions had demanded an increase in his
wages, and this morning he entered his
office in half intoxicated condition and re-
peated his demand.
He informed Mendahl that he had applied
to the wrong party and mustsee the manag-
ing editor but Mendahl, not being satisfied
with this answer, became excited, drew a
revolver and fired shot which passed within
few inches OF Sugust's head. Mendahl, he

His wife he just adored,
But he jerks her now bald headed
And bangs her with board
Until she's bored.

rolled forth, like the rumbing of far
off thunder "a quarter of year

fell upon the assembled multitude, which

for her when the bclligerent fever is on her.
She confines herself to the rules of the ring,

largement of an ear Mary goes out to

says he beat his way'' out here easily
enough, but he has lost his grip as beat

to Iowa, he'll freeze to the Hawkeyes while
there's button on his jacket. Billy will
probably be passed.
