COMFORT FOR OLD MAIDS.

Old maids are useful. They can cook,
sew and take care of children. nurse sick
people, and generally play the piano. Old
bachelors are useless. They do not even
know how to drive nails Or split wood.
Old maids are amiable. If one wants any,
thing done that requires patience and kind
ness Of heart, a single lady is sure to be the
one to do it.
Old bachelors are ill-natured. They snub
children, despise babies, and hate Young
mothers, and are always so busily employed
in seeing that other people take good care
of them that they have not a moment to-
give to any one else.
Old maids are nice looking, and s'young
for their years." Old bachelors generally
have red noses, rheumatism in the knees,
bald heads, and mouths that turn down at
the corners.
Old maids can make a home Of one little
room, and cook delicious meals for one over
the gas7jet, in cunning little tin kettles, be-
sides making all their own wardrobes. Old
bachelors need an army of t%ailors, walters,
cooks, distant relatives and hotel landlords,
to keep them comfortable. When old maids
are i'll they tie up their heads in pocket
handkerchiefs, take homeopathic pellets
out Of two bottles, alternately, and get we'll
again. When old bachelors are i'll thew 90
to bed and send for four doctors have a
consultation; a mantle-piece full of black
bottles; all the amiable married men who
belong to the club to sit up with them at
night, besides a hired nurse; they telegraph
TO their relations, and do their best to inn
press the world that they are dying.
When an old maid travels she takes a
sandwich, a piece of pound cake, a bottle OF
lemonade in q hand basket, and lunches
comfortably in the carriage. When an old
bachelor travels he orders a dinner in cours-
es at the station, and raves because he has
not time to eat it before the fifteen minutes
tor refreshments'' are over.
Old maids drink weak tea and it cures
their headaches.
Old bachelors drink strong liquor and it
gives them headaches.
Old maids are modest. They think their
youth is over and their beauty gone. If,
after a while, some autumnal love is given
them, they take it as a sort Of miracle, and
hope people will not laugh at them for
marrying so late in Iife."-ED.

GOLDEN SHEAvE

Beware the spirit that awakes,
And in its laundering voIley breaks!
Beware the true heroic fires
Descending from our pilgrim sires!
Beware the clear and searching eyes
That know your plans and read your lies,
BY which, with mask all rent and torn,
OF priestly robe and mitre shorn,
Stripped of your vaunted ''gold andNgreen,'
In your true colors we are seen!
A torn jacket is soon mended but hard
words bruise the heart of a child.
The company in which you will improve
the most will be least expensive to you.
The creed Of the true saint is to make
the best of life, and make the most of it.
lis beauty vain because it will fade ?
Then are earth's green robe and heavens
light vain.
He who shows Kindness toward ami
mails will display the same characteristic to-
ward his fellow men.
By observation and experiment alone can
the mind of man arrive at a knowledge of
the laws which rule the universe.
There are no greater wretches in the
world than many of those whom people in .
general take to be happy.

TIE 10 CIRCLE {.
SPRING..
BY s. A. NJ. MOSS.

With footsteps light she treads the plain.
And flowers spring up to kiss her feet,
While winds repeat the low refrain,
She sings with accent sweet:
"'Tis you, and you, and you, and you,
And you, i come to greet
The buds start out, the leaves burst forth,
The wild vines Irvine above her ways;
From East, from West, from South, from North
Hastens each nymph and fay,
While family woods, and hills, and rocks
Echo their wild ''IIurrah!''
Northward haste the birds ut her call,
Brave gifte to man her full hands fling;
Ills she brings rejoicing to all,
And all unite to sing:
" We gladly greet you once again,
And bid you welcome, Spring."

A week ago last Saturday Q number OF
the crack shots Of Emmett Guard visited
the sarshsld target range and entered In
several friendly pools against the latter.
The results being in favor Of tho Gold
Hill boys. the Emmsts invited them 10
mako Q return visit, which they last
Saturday did. The Waiting squad was
composed OF Lieutenant CHANNEL. Dave
Morgan, Patssy Field. Hugh Gallagher.
Bill Haskins, Owen Byrne and one OF
two others. OF the SarsAslds CHANNEL
did the best shooting. with Field next.
The Emmets were well represented BY
Jack Ferris, Ed. Boyle. Dennis Nsvin
and bill Noonan. Lieut.. Reynolds, Of
the Washingtons. and Capt. Lord, OF
the Artillery. were also present. The
Gold Hill team was signally victorious,
winning . majority Of the pools. lii
now generally conceded that the contest
for the Pioneer prizes will lie bstwssn
the teams OF the Ssrsfeld and Emmett
Guards. The best possible feeling exists
between the members Of these two oon-
panies, and there will not be much
jealousy created BY the success Of either.
It IL limited that the National Guard
may prove the dark horse In the race,
and put forth . team OF veterans that
will give the young bloods plenty to do.
It would seem like old times 10 have the
Nationals ono more victorious. The
Gold Hill company 10 at present the
favorite In sporting circles.
