FOR BETTER or WORSE.

The old man Bendigo keeps pretty sharp
eye on his daughter Mary, and many a
would-be lover has taken a walk after few
minutes conversation with the hard hearted
parient. The old chap Is stuck this time,
however, and cards are out for the wedding.
After the lucky young man had been spark
ing Mary for six months, the old gentleman
stepped in as usual, requested a private con-
fab, and led Off with;
" You seem like nice young man, and
perhaps you arc in love with Mary?"
" Yes, am" was the honest reply.
" Haven't said anything to her yet, have
you?"
"Well, no; but think she reciprocates
my affection"
"Does, Ell? Well, let me tell you some
thing. Her mother died lunatc, and
there's no doubt that Mary has inherited her
insanity"
"Im willing to take the chances" replied
the lover.
"Yes, but you see Mary has terrible
temper. She has twice drawn a knife on
me with intent to commit murder"
% Pm used to that-got sister just like
her" was the answer.
"And you should know that have sworn
a solemn oath not to give Mary cent of my
property continued the father
"Well ia rather start in poor and build
up. There's more romance in it,"
The old man had one more shot in his
carbine, and he said:
Perhaps ! ought to tell you that Mary's
mother ran away from my home with a
butcher, and that all her relations died in
the poorhouse. These things might be
thrown up in after years, and now warn
you"
"Mr. Bendigo," replied the lover, "Ive
heard all this before, and also that you were
on trial for forgery. had to jump Chicago fol
bigamy, and served year in State Prison
for cattle stealing. I'm going 10 marry int,
your family TO give you decent reputation
phere-no thanks-good bye :"
Mr., Bendigo looked after the young man
with his mouth wide open, and when b,
could get his jaws together he said

A travelling salesman for Chicago firm
established a store Of his own at Berlin
Heights, o., and left it in charge of his wife
and a clerk. On returning from long trip
he found that the clerk had sold all the
goods and fed with the money, On further
investigation he learned that the clerk had,
taken his wife, too. -
Cashier Clark OF the National Bank of
Lowell, Mich, was ,another rogue who hid
his wickedness under religious activity,
His word was regarded by the directors as
sacred, and once, when an examination Of
his books was suggested, tears welled up in
his eyes. and he seemed so hurt that the idea
was never broaehed again, In the same
meeting of the directors, he inyeiged them
into counting three notes twice as assets,
thus hiding a theft Of s., 200. He was ex-
posed after he had used up about all Of the
banks surplus Of about s30,Oee.

."Blow, blow, thou Winter wynd,
Thou art not so unky-nd
As mans ingrat-chi.tude:
The folk at New Carlisle,
With unbecoming smile,
VIII say: "He might have got here II
he wude."
But how can feller get anywhere,
When the drifting snowfakes fill the air,
And the trains are all behind?
When he can do nothing but stand and stare
At the useless time cards here and there,
That grimly answer his anxious stare
By asking him ''what he can fnd?"
When the best he can do is to sulk and NOPE,
And vainly hope against hopeless hope,
And vaguely into philosophy gropo
And endeavor to feel resigned?
While he knows, as certainly as he can sec,
How awfully mad the Committee will be,
The much abused, patient Committee,
With the hall man claiming his rent or he'll
sue,
And bill for dodgers and posters due,
And nothing to straddle the Blind?

A EEungrY NInn.

"A hAuhSEy Hlns
A man, know, the hungriest one
That ever saw the light;
His gormandizing's never done,
He's such an appetite.
The story brought to me, you know,
BY little, listening birds,
Was that day or two ago,
He ate up all his words.
Then going home, he from shelf
A ponderous volume took;
And there alone, quite by himself,
lie soon devoured the book.
Still pangs of hunger ne'er forsook
This most yoracious male,
Not only he devoured the book,
But swallowed, too, the tale.
And stlll he longed for more to cat
Yet eat he would for life,
Until to make his meal complete,
He tried to bite his wife.

CAUGHT IN A SNOW DRIFT.

S@ASS M hN n SNOS DIe 4 He
The Burlington Ha,ckeye gets a dispatch
from one of its contributors, "Roaming Ro-
bert" dated at South Bend, as follows:
My visions of Spring have taken the
wing, and are off with the flight of the stork,
and the climate to-day, in a mild sort OF
way, reminds me of Central New York.
For the beautiful snow, as you probably
know, has taken this country by storm
and with wonderful thrift it piles drift upon
drift, in the very worst kind of bad form.
The trains are delayed and my lecture is
played, for it's thirteen long miles to Car
lislej and the way it is showing and drift
ing and blowing, thirty rods make a pretty
long mile,
So delaying wait till the storm shall
abate, and some kind of a train comes along
when shorter and neeter than any short me
tire, III cut Off the rest of my song.
But with portent most dire, still higher
and higher, still pile up the drifts at the
wnderj with the roar of gong the storm
sweeps along, and no one seems able to
hinder.
It's provoking, oh very, thought Febru,
ary a season devoted to thaw; but the
ground hog-I guess its he-just like neces-
sity, knows neither season nor law.
For the flakes whirling down I can't see
the town: l can't tell the South from the
Bend for all can see, all the world except
me, has suddenly come to an end.
It's just my blessed luck, in drift to get
stuck, and | think if l sought the equator
that snow storm would foller and fill ev-
cry hollor, with the drifts of a seventy
Fighter.

Mere Favorable Re ports from the Plague
Infected Districts.
PARIS, Feb. 14-The official journal says that the
plague is not increasing. The government has sent
physicians to investigate the disease. Reports of
the plague in Turkey are unfounded and there is
no ground for panic. No danger is apprehended at
present from arrivals from the Black Sea or Sea of
Azof; nevertheless the minister of commerce has
ordered quarantine of two days at Mediterranean
and Algerian ports, even when the vessels are pro-
vided with clean bills Of health.
Steamers Discontinued Between Italy and
Egypt.
The steamers between Italy and Egypt are discon-
tinued on account of the plague. Importation of
Egyptian cotton into Italy is prohibited. Greek ves-
sells with corn are warned away from Palermo by
cannon shot.

foreign animal port. Such ports are London, Hull,

The committee decided to address the priYy coun-
Gil, expressing the hope that arrangements making
by the Liverpool dock board may lead the council be-

as one where foreign animals may be landed.
