MIND YOUR OWN CONCERNS.

Mind your own concerns, my friend,
For they are yours alone;
Don't talk about your neighbours faults,
But strive 10 mend your own;
Suppose he does not always lead
A truly pious life
What matters II be sometimes frets
Or quarrels with his wifea
Don't meddle--let him know, my friend,
Your better nature spurns
To nc, the spy oashim Or his
L.a. .~siriS y5sf Ssn ,otce. as
Yes, mind your own concerns, my friend,
And presently yoell find
That all your time issccuped,
Aud you We quite enough to mind
Why need you care if snookes or Spooks
Should wed with Sally Jones
What matter If your neiyhbor G.
half million owns
The money is not yours, my friend,
Though golden stores be earn;
So do not envy him his wealth,
But mind your own concerns.
Yes, mind own concerns, my friend,
II is better plan
Than always to be epyiug out
The deeds of brother man.
Remember that all persons have,
Though hidden from your view,
Thoughts that to them Of right belong,
And not at all to you
And also bear in mind, my friend,
A generous nature worms
No secret from neighbor's breast
So mind your own concerns.

HESTER'S LOVE STORY,

Miss Payne was IS if a day, but
she had managed far better than
many Of those who were girls
with her to keep some Of the old
freshness in the roses of her
cheeks and the old brightness and
iuxuriance in her brown hair.
She was thinking of old times
this morning as she rolled out
her faky crusts. Fifteen years
ago she had been getting ready
for a picnic, just as she was doing
now. But there was another in
the kitchen then-a young man
with a handsome face and laugh
ing eyes, and she remembered how
saucily he intertered with her
work: and how she threatened to
shower him with the con tents of
the -four bowl if he didn't behave
himself; and he had dared her to
brt her threat into execution and
she had kept her word. She
could see him now as he stood
that morning looking like a veri-
table miller with his eyes fuMof
mischief as he begged so humbly
for her to dust it of. And she
remembered, as if it happened
yesterday, how, when she had un-
dertaken the job, all of a sudden
he took her IN his arms and kissed
her; and when, she shook herself
away from him she was such a
sight to see, with powdered hair
and snowy eyebrows and cheeks
as white as any ghosts. And
lust then her father had come in
and stopped in surprise on the
threshold, looking from her to
John with a twinkle in his eye.
And all he had said was
Seems to me you forget to
powder a spot on your cheek,
Hester,' and then he went away
chuckliDg, and Hester had pro-
ceeded to brush herself up, with
sundry threats Of dire retribution
directed at the laughing culprit
who had retreated to a position
outside, where be felt himself
safe from feminine wrath.
And the next day the quarrel
came which had set his feet in
paths far away from that in which
she had trod for Is years, and in
which she had expected to tread
until the end. And she thought
it all over this morning with a
little sigh here and there.
Her romance was not forgotten
if it was kept out Of sight of Gu
rious eyes.
Yesterday she had heard that a
new preacher was coming to the
picnic. He was to preach his first
sermon on Sunday, and every
body said be was a powerful
preacher. Aud his naue Was
Ashley.
But of course it can't be him,
she said to herself, as she clipped
the edges of her pies; for he was
one of the widest, most rattle
Drained fellows [ ever knew, and
I'm sure there wasn't any thing
about him that could be made in
to a minister. But he had one OF
the kindest hearts in the world,
and was the one to blame.
Some one coming here called

The train had pulled out. A
young man rushed breathlessly in.
The Oil City Derrick tells the rest
of it: "Got left did you ?" "Well,
amt l here?" be responded. Then
one SAID he could 60 across the
bridge and catch it, another told
him when the next train would

The chap looked at the disap-
pearing train few moments,
when somebody asked, "Where
were you going?" Then the
wicked fellow said: "O!I wasn't
going on it, but there was a fellow
on the train to whom l promised
to pay a BILL" Tableau.
