Loves Contradictions.

MY love is as fair a. the blossoms ef spripc !.
As sweet AZ June roses ia she;
But what shall DO when her merry dark eyes
Refuse with her lips 10 agree
Ny heart--as she knows forever her own:
Il slipped frt N my keeping one day,
And though ] made haste 10 commsniI lie ro.
turn,
The trusnt refused to obey.
Shs knows am waiting a sober reply
To tstion asked long ago:
But alas. while her eyes shine positive yes
Her saucy red lips answer no.
Now what can be done with a maiden like hel?
Ny heart on the ?Ht rict remains,
First hoping, then longing, then fearing, alas
To be cruelty teased for my pains.
There never was seen so provoking love,
Nor half SO bewitcbins, indeed,
And am SO truly her captive that still
follow where er she may lead.
Oh, which are the truer, wonder, and which
Can make up my mind to believe:
I'll trust the dear eyes for red lips are oft
fslse,
But ihe eyes, they can never deceive.

Bricklayer and ParsOn.

A Manchester curate, walking along
street in the dinner hour, passed lot
of bricklayers smoking their pipes, and
he heard one OF them say:
I'D like to be parson, and have
nowt to do but walk along in black
coat and carry a walking. stick in my
hand, and get lot of brass"
There was an approving laugh all
around, wherenpon the curate turned
around, and the following conversation
ensued:
$50 you would like to be parson ?
How much do you get week?'
Twenty. seven shillings."
Well, am not rich man, but l
will give you twenty-seven shillings if
you will come with me for week and
see what my work is like
The bricklayer did not like the pro-
posal; but his mates told him it was q
fair offer, and he was bound to accept
it. So he reluctantly followed the par
son down the alley.
Where are you going?' he asked.
"To see sick parishioner, was the
reply.
"What is the matter with him ?"
"Small pox.'
At this the man drow back. His
wife and BARNS HAD never had the small
pox, and he was afraid of taking it to
to them.
"My.wife and BARNS have never had
the smallpox" said the curate. "Come
along"
The man hesitated.
ooh! butyou promised to accompany
me wherever went" urged the curate.
"And where are you going next?"
asked the bricklayer.
"To see poor family huddled in
one room, with the father dead of scar
let fever in it, and themselves all down
with it.; and after that to see another
parishioner i'll with typhus. And to
morrow there will be a longer round"
Thereupon the bricklayer begged to
be let off. Twenty.seven shillings
would be poor pay for that kind of
work, and he promised he would never
speak against the parsons again.

Changes in Housekeeping.

A great many bright and even witty
things arc said annually by husbands
throughout the United States in regard
to the nearly universal practice OF
wives and mothers Of changing the ar
engagements of the furniture and the es-
tablished order Of things in the house
hold. The genial tender of the fire in
" Backlog Studies remarks upon the
fact that the only reason the mistress
could give for hanging picture il
what seemed the most Inappropriate
place Was that it had never been there
before. 1t is q positive delight to most
women simply to move things around
with Wow to lettering the appearance
of Der rooms, and she loses interest at
once in house which is so constructed
that certain articles must remain in
certain places. There is, however, Il
philosophy in this effort OF the house
wife to give freshness and variety to
her SURF oundlngs which is at length
becoming recognized. \ distinguished
physician has lately said that it Is
wise and wholesome to break the uni
formity of decoration from time to
time, for q pleusurable diversion Of
mind, however simple it may be, is
wholesome not less to tue body than to
the mind \ woman passes so much
Of her time in the house she needs the
harmless stimulus derived from these
slight changes. There Is d relief to her
mind from the mOnptODy of her daily
round. What otscientious woman
will say that she has never felt an in
sane desire to open the window and
throw away her dishes after having
washed the same cups and plates three
times a day for o few years. We re-
joice in the impetus which decorative
art has received and which makes itself
felt in the most modest household, if
in nothing more than the variety and
beauty of dishes. 1t is Suggestive aud
pleasing to put Cinte butter plate in
the shape of a green leaf or IL pansy at
each place, aad to put cheese and
pickles on the pretty majolica plates
made especially for them, and to adorn
the table with the hower-decorated
dishes which are dainty enough for u
king and cheap enough for almost any
body. 1t is a fact easily verified that
it does not tire one half SO much to
wash, wipe and put away whole China
tea set as it does to treat in the same
way half the Lumber of common
"every day dishes" Victor Hugo
somewhere says that "mind uplif.s
body, and is the only bird which sus,
tains its cage" This being true, every
thing which gives pleasure to wom-
an in her work helps her. -Nelr York

Early RaiirOading.

j. II. .lacknan, III a recent letter,
shows that, in the matter of speed, To-
connective engines Of to-day are not
greatly superior to those of earlier

Night in the Moon.

At last, however, night sets in.
Grateful it comes after the sun has
gathered up his smiling rays and gone
down to his rest. All at once we are
plunRing into comparative obscurity,
for again there is no twilight to stay
the steps of departing day. At one
stride comes the dark. But, looking
up into the sky, we behold vast orb
which pours down a milder and more
beneficient splendor than the great
lord OF the system. It is such moon
as we terrestrials cannot boast: for it is
not less than thirteen times as large
and luminous as our own. There it
hangs in the armament, without appar.

presents its oceans and continents in
grand succession. As Europe and
Africa, locking the Mediterranean in
their embrace, roll away to the right,
tho stormy Atlantic offers its waters to
view; then the two Americas, with their
huge forests and vast prairies, pass un-
der inspection. Then the great basin
of the Pacific, lit up with island fires,
meets the gazer's eye, and as this glides
over the scene the eastern rim CT Asia,
the upper portion of Australia, sail Ia
to sight. The Indian Ocean, and after
ward the Arabian Sea, spread them
selves out in their subdued splendor,
and thus, in four and twenty hours,
the great rotundity we tread " turns
his pictured countenance to the moon
and grandly repays the listening lunar
Ians by repeating to the best OF It's
ability the story Of its birth. Nor is
the sky less marvellous in another re-
spect, for the absence of any atmos-
pheric diffusion of light permits the
consultations to shine out with dis.
tlnctness which is never paralleled on
earth. They glitter like diamond
points set in armament of ebony.
Stars and clusters which we never see
by the naked eye flock into view and
crowd the lunar heavens.

The crisis in the French Government
has been brought about by the attempt
of the radical wing of the Republican
party under Gambetta's lead to force
the De Freycinct Cabinet into an ex-
treme position on the religious COZ tro-
versy Of the last two years. In nc.
cordance with the policy of the Repub-
licans the Jesuits, under Ferry's bill,
were expelled as enemies to Republican
institutions. But not satisfied, the Rad
icals insisted upon an enforcement of
the DEGREES against all the religious
congregations. The Conservative por
ton of the Ministry refused and the
crisis was brought about. The almost
universal protest of tho Republican
press against Gambettas gratuitous
intermeddling and the protest of the
Germans against the policy of revenge
Gambetta has preached, which they
foresee established in his ascendency,
may have the effect of neutralizing his
success and crying "halt" to the
movement which. he is inspiring.
Otherwise, the Republic is in danger
from its own extremists and of COM
hitting terrible suicide.-Delroit Free
