"Would you mind standing here

asked. "Of course not she re-
piled; "but don't you think, Hen
ry, that smokingis offensive, and
that it will DO easier practicing
economy after marriage if it is
practiced during courtship p
"You're right" he said; Il shan't
smoke any more, sweet" and she
looked unutterable love at him as
they resumed their stroll. Just
then they came to an ice cream
saloon, and be said: "There, now,
I meant to treat you to ice cream,
but: as you say, it is best to prac-
tice economy during courtship.
Ten cents for cigar, thirty cents
for two creams-forty cents saved
in a single night. Let's 60 over

of water" They went; but she
was mad enough to bite her own
head off.

The sweet pleading face, with

it had won to John Carlyle's glad
vision!
Harriet he said, softly, would
you sacrifice your bright, young
life to o common private with
only one arm ?
Il would devote it to the noblest
hero who ever spilled his blood
for his country
His forehead fell on her shoul-

the food tide Of happiness.
Harriet said be, after a min
ute's pause, do you know that l
fancied you liked Gilbert Armour ?
Tho superb scorn on her arched
lip was very comical, and not
unpleasant to behold.
Gilbert Armour, indeedt You
are worth ten thousand Gilbert

Even including his shoulder

She put her hand softly over
his lips.

FOOL FRIENDS.

Nothing hurts a man, nothing
hurts a party, so terribly as fool
friends.
A fool friend is the sower Of bad
news: of SANDER, and all base and
unpleasant things.
A fool friend always knows
every mean thing that has beer
said against you and against the
party.
He always know where your
party is losing, and the other is
making large gains.
He always tell you of the good
luck your enemy. has had.
He implicitly believes every
story against you, and kindly sus.
poets your defence.
A fool friend is always full of &
kind Of stupid candor.
He is so candid, that he always
believes the statement Of an enc.
my.
He never suspects anything on
your side.
Nothing pleases him like being
shocked by horrible news concern
ing some good man.
He never denies q lie unless it
is in your favor.
He is always finding fault with
his party and is continually beg
ging pardon for not belonging to
the other side.
He is frightfully anxious that
all candidates should stand well
with the opposition.
He is forever seeing the faults
Of his party and the virtues Of th e
other.
He generally shows his candor
by scratching his ticket.
He always searches every nook
and corner of his conscience to find
a reason for desertirg a friend or
principle.
In the moment Of victory he is
magnanimously on the other side.
In defeat he consoles you by re.
peating prophecies made after the
event.
The fool friend regards your re-
putation as common property, and
common prey for all the vultures,
as hyeaas and jackals. .-
He takes sad pleasure in your
misfortunes.
He forgets his principles to graf
Hy your enemies.
He forgives your maIlgner and
slanderer with all his heart.
He is so friendly that you can
not kick him.
He generally talks for you, but
always bets the other way.

| John Carlyle sat looking at the
pretty creature, around whom the
love of his strong nature had been
entwined with fervor rare enough
in these matter-offact days. In
wistful perplexity. Shining au-
burn hair, parted away from a
low, pearl-pure brow; deep blue
eyes, like the velvety petal of q
pansy, and mouth whose intense
crimson reminded you of the in
side leaves of Lord Raglan rose,
she was by no means disagreeable
to look at, and Mr.. Carlyle was
quite sensible of the fact.
Harriet he said, with an un'
conscious tremor in the syllables,

on with the sentence which the

He looked at Harriet Dean as
he spoke, half in earnest, half
jestingly. John Callyle's eye fol-
lowed the direction of his, as by a
sort of fascination and saw the
rose tint mounting to Harriet's
cheek, and the purple blue eyes
hidden by their white lids. How
long he stood there with a giddy
pain surging through his brain,
and chill at his heart, as if q
cold hand was graspiug at its
fbers, he did not know; it might
have been five minutes or it might
have been FIVE hours; but he was
aroused by the breaking up Of
the little party, the sound of mer-
ry voices and playful adieux.
Harriet Dean was standing'un-
