LOOK BAcK.-Gray-haired pilgrim,
bending low over desk, your brain
burdened with cares and perplexities
OF business pursqitS-let your
thoughts escape from The narrow con.
fines of your little tread-miii, and
wander back to boyhood's almost
forgotten sunny hours. Do you not
recall to mind the little bingham had
kerchlef tue hands of fond mother
wrought How it raised grave
doubts in your mind as to whether
you should wipe your poor, cold-in-
tested nose on the edge of the school
house seat, or file it off with the sliffly
starched folds of that gingha,n hanrd-
kerchief! Don't you remember it?
Ah, those bcyhood daysI They'll
never come again.

which he stole from them ono starry
night, upon his head for six long
months. And that, Ia fact, he was so
much entranced by the ringlets that he
resolved 10 marry their fair owner.
And so one evening whom he had fully
made up his mind TO propose, he set on

he went along, and wondering how
fellow set about anyway when he really
wanted to marry a pretty girl. Unluck-
lily, the fair one with the golden locks
was not at home when he called that
