a Witty Professor

On the door Of the Greek class
room, Professor Blackie, of Edin-
burgh, had occasion a few weeks ago
to put mp this notice: "prof. Blackie
regrets he is unable to meet his class
es." A waggish student, spying this,
scraped out The ipitial letter of the
last word of the sentence, and made
it appear as If the professor was re.
gretful at his inability to meet those
fair specimens of humanity familiarly
known outside tho college quadrangle
as the Glasses" But who can Joke
with Blackie? The kecn-e eyed old
man, noticing the prank that had
been played on him, quietly erased
another letter, and left the following
to be read by whom il might concern
"Prof Blackio regrets he is unable tc
meet his asses! !"

Woman's Love.

Let the woman you look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or holy, she
has but one thing she cap give or re,
fuse, and that is her heart, Her
beauty, her wit she may sell you, but
her love is the treasure without money
and without price. She can only ask
i'll return, that when you look upon
her, your eyes shall speak mute de-
votion when you address her YOUR
voice shall be gentle. and kind. That
you shall not despise her because she
cannot all at once understand your
vigorous thoughts and ambitious
plans, for when misfortune and evil
have defeated your greatest purpose,
her love remains to console you.
You look upon the tree Of strength
and grandeur do not despise the
flowers because their fragrance is all
thoy have to give. Remember, love
is the only thing which God permits
her to carry beyond the grave.

81 am Dying, Egypt, DYING"

in truth, something on each soldiers

away the sta ins Of powder. Tender

battle was oyer, an Escort of honor,
appointed from among the leading
Confederate officers, bore him back

around him. In life he had touched

Labor.

Honest, hearty, contented labor is
the only source Of happiness, as well
as the only guarantee Of life. The
gloom OF misanthropy is not only the
great destroyer Of happiness, but 1t
tends to destroy life itself. Idleness
and luxury produce premature decay
much faster than many trades regard
ed as the most exhaustive and fatal
to longevity. Labor, in general, in
stead OF shortening the term of life,
actually increases it. 1t is the lack
of ofoccupation that annually destroys
so many of the wealthy, who, having
nothing to do, play the part OF
drones, and like them, make a speedy
exit, while the busy bee fills its day
in usefulness and honor.

house of Mrs. Adelaide Burton, of
Roxabcl, N. c., was blown down and
the lady covered with debris. She

burial. AT the funeral, as the casket
was being removed to the hearse, she

In such witching way, "'

Ag flowers spring in May.
The little bird, as all can see,
Has e'cr the sweetest song;

The sweetest blooms belong;
The title gem of pUrest ray
Is found without flaw,
And little women rule the world
by univcral law.
Her little head is always poisel
With such an airy grace;
Shes quite an artist in her hats,
Aud critic in her lace.
Her dress, however rufIied and puffrl
Is dainty, trim and neat;
And, OH st. Crlspen's leathern soul
Would Rllclt before her fcpt.
