A BOYS COMPOSITION ON GIRLS

A BoY's COMPOSITION ON GIRLS
Girls are the most unaccountable
things in the world-except women.
Like the wicked aeas, when you have
them they amt there. I can cipher
clean over to improper fractions, and
the teacher says / do it first rate
but can't cipher out girl, proper
or improper, and you can't either.
The only rule in arithmetic that hits
their case is the double rule of two.
They are as full of old Nick as their
skins can hold, and they'd die if they
couldn't torment somebody. When
they try to be mean, they are as
mean as pursely, though they aip't
as mean as they let on to be, except
sometimes, and then they are great
deal meaner. The only way to get
along with girl when she comes
with her nonsense is to give her tit
for tat, and that will fummux her;
when you get her fummuxed she is
as nice as new pie.
! A girl can sow more wild oats in
a day than a boy can in year, hut
girls get their wild oats sowed after
a while, which boys never do, aud
then they settle down as calm and
placid as a mud puddle. But l like
girls first rate, and guess all boys
do. / don't care how many tricks,
they play on me, and they don't care
either. The hoity toitiest girl in
the world can't always boil over like
a glass of soda water. By and by
they will get into the traces with
somebody they like, and pull az
steady as an old stage horse. Thai
is the beauty Of them. So let ZEN
wave, I say; they will pay for il
some day, sewing on buttons, ant
trying to make a decent man Of tn,
+ How they have splised onto; AM
ten chances to one if they don't ge

FASHION NOTES.

Dresses with plain sleeves, cor
sages and skirt are now made of rich
fabrics.
Fashion favors the wearing Of
basques made of different material
than the skirts.
--Cashmeres, always more or less
in demand, will he much worn in
combination with other materials
They are out in olive greens, grays,
lavender and amber shades.
Short skirts remain the only
proper kind for the street. Prince
Albert basques and other jaunty
coats, among which is the dress
overcoat, are exhibited in new col
ors and materials. Street costumes
as we'll as toilets for indoors render
evident the growing fancy for bright
hues and quaint designs.
Mummy cloths are again impor-
ted; some represent fans and other
japanese objects on their rough sur
faces; others take on stripes and 9th
ers again borrow Persian designs
Plain mummy cloths there are in the
Japanese blue stripes, bright Chi
nese and ye,lows, with new pink
shades, all .. which are likewise used
in figured goods.
In millinery, Leghorn, Tuscan
and other Italian straws figure con.
spicuously. Bonnets will be good
deal trimmed with gold lace, gilded
ornaments and cream colored plumes
Importations of bonnets so far show
medium sizes, though garden and
seaside hats promise to be quite
large. Gobelin Is tue name given tC
some ribbons that look like strips Of
old tapestry. Old time lustering il
cashmere designs is counted among
novelties, as are violet-hued ribbon,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Discomfort is the want Of self
reliance.
With time and patience and the
mulberry leaf becomes silk.
The more we help others to bear
their burdens the lighter our own
will be.
III yUu would not have affection
to visit you twice, listen at once to
what it teaches.
The way to gain a good reputa-
tion is to endeavor to be what you
desire to appear.
You may shrink from the far
reaching solitudes of your heart, hut
no other foot than yours can tread
them.
Nature makes rs poor when we
want necessaries, but custom gives
the name Of poverty to the want of
superAuities.
He that resolves upon any great
and at the same time good end, by
that very resolution has sealed the
chief barrier to it.
| Truth and purity, like so many
gems in the life and example of the
good man, cannot but shame an'l
condemn error and vice in others.
1t is easy enols h to make sac
rifires tor those we love, but for our
enemy we have to struggle and over
come self. Such victory is noble.
Those who, without knowing US,
think or speak evil Of us, do ia ne
harm; it is not US they at, aek, but
the phantom of their own imagina
ton.
-Pol.teness may prevent the want
of wit and talents from being oh
served; but wit and talent cannot
prevent the discovery of the want Of
politeness.
Life has many Ills, but the mind
that views every object in the mosl
cheering aspect and every doubtful
dispensation as replete with latent
good, bears within itself powerful
and perpetual antidote.
