the recent elections had completed the foun.

government would introduce bill to settle

this unauthorized congregations can take the
benefit but they must never be permitted to

what scares a Woman.

Notice . woman when she receives
a telegram, How it does scare her!
She tremblcs like dish of jelly, and
imagines all sorts of things. Her hus-
band has fallen down the hatchway
at his warehouse. Her Johnny has
gone out sailing and is drowned
Her sister Maria has been scalded to
death. Nothing short of a fatal acci-
dent quite fills the bill of her imag-
ination. When she finally summons
courage to tear open the envelope,
she finds a message from her husband
warning her that he will bring q
customer home to dinner, and she
Immediately calls her children to-
gether and instructs them not to ask
twice for raspberries, as there's just
enough to go around, and give the
visitor few extra.

A warning to Jokers.

Sometime in 1864, there was mum.
Der Of army officers stopping at a ho.
tel in Washington. Among them
was Captain Emerson. There was
also Captain Jones, a good officer
and very pompous. Emerson and
Jones used to have good deal o.
joking together, at the table and
elsewhere.
One day at the dinner table, when
the dining hall was well filed, Capt
Jones finished his dinner first, gotur
and walked almost to the dining-hall
door, when Emerson spoke to him in
a loud voice and said:
"Hallo, Captain, see here, II want
to speak to you o minute"
The Captain turned and walked
back to the table and bent over him
Emerson whispered:
Il want to ask you how far you
would have gone if | had not spoken
to you"
The Captain never changed mus
Gle, but Strengthened up and put his
fingers into his vest pocket, and said
in n voice loud enough for all to hear
him:
Captain Emerson, I don'tknow
of man in the world l would rather
lend five dollars to than you, but the
fact is that l haven't a cent with me
to-dayp and he turned and walked
away.
Emerson turned the color of a dozen
rainbows, but he had to stand it,
lie never heard the last of it, and it
cost him more than ten dollars to
treat on it.

Difference in women.

A young married woman from
England, who had remained long
enough in this country to feel per-
fectly at home, told a friend that
English timidity so clung to her that
she could hardly go into Boston, five
miles, to do her shopping, without
having her husband or brother to es-
cort her on the railway. The differ
ence between her and the American
woman--who, at q call Of duty or
even pleasure, would take her trav-
cling bag and set off for Colorado
without fear of harm-is hardly
greater than the difference between
the tongue,tied womenof fifteen years
ago, in reform meetings, and the
voting women of today.

Ah, hum. How the wheels oftime
speed round, now the gathering years
crowd thick and fast how the mael-
strom twirlsas we are drawn near
the vortex-how old tempus docs fu-
git. And yet was not always thus.
Looking back over our shoulder-(to
see if the girl is flirting)-to the
years that now, alas, are past and
gone, We see q, fair haired boy. All,
but his hair was fair -fairer than the
luscious strawberry nesting in the
fraudulent box in the early spring
time, at eighty cents a quart-fairer
than the golden carrott as it swims
among the grease-drops on the sur
face Of plate Of soup--fair as the
lilly, the rnarigold, the daflo-down-
dilly. Fair, fair.
How long the days were then
The forenoon was an epoch; the af-
ternoon a measnreless cycle Of time.
A piece Of bread and butter at half
past nine, and another at eleven,
mitigated our sufferings and stayed
our hunger which consumed US dur
ing the lapse Of time between break
fast and dinner And the doses
would have to be repeated in the af.
ternoon and just before going to bed.
What change all this twenty years
have wrought. There is no "piecing
between meals" now; no indeed
And dinner seems to come so soon
after breakfast that we-are almost in
clined not to be bothered with it,
And supper is thankless task.
The years seem TO gather momen-
tum as they pass; each succeeding
one being shorter than its predeces-
sor. We see now II ls--we are on
the down grade and there are no
brakes. We are rushing along with
Increasing velocity-to.day we are
bald-headed, tomorrow we shall be
toothless, next day gray, and then
ah, then the silent bone-yard. Let
US look the other way-let us shake
'em back. What was it that caused
us to fall into this train of thought?
o, yes-this aged bill from a shoe
maker. We promised TO pay the
man next week, and now the, ac-
count is outlawed! 1t beats all
