THE BED-POST DOLL.

You need mt make fun of my doIlie-I tell you
she's dearer to me
Than all the most beautiful dollies that ever
came over the sea
From Paris, or London, or Antwerp, or any
where under the sun;
There was never a doll like my darling for
goodness or patience or fun.
You needn't have called her ga bed post sawn
off of grandmamMas bed
For that little round knob that it stood on
makes just the lovelieSt head.
Go on, then, and call her "woodstick"-I
suppose you must If you must,
But shall call you mountain, because you
were made out of dust:
And you know-yes, you know, Fred Wilson
that you bored that hole there yourself
And stuck in that piece of broomstick that
you took down Off of the shelf
And made her some arms-they are arms-a
man with one eye could see that
It's just like that straw-it once was straw, but
now it's your Sunday hat.
And her hair-yes, it may hare been cornsilk-
but now it's beautiful switch
And you made her eyes and eyebrows-didy you
Her dressP Yes, it's only gingham, but
think you might play 1t was silk
Don't play had ices and bon-bons, when its
nothing but crackers and milk?
Wouldn't have had wax-dollie-what good
do you think it would do?
1t always must lie in a drawer, must always
look handsome and new
Or If you do take it out, why soon there's a
crack in its head, ~
Or else all the wax comes off, and then-why,
the doIlie is dead.
Besides, these imported dollies are always so
dreadfully rude,
That stuck-up Merino Waters won't speak to
my darling Gertrude;
Shes almost as bad as her mOther-doeS moth
ing but gigge and Prink-
Ii had Paris dOllie, I'd teach her good man.
nerS, think
know where IS one-at Schwarz's all frizzes.
and fuses, and curls,
And it just stares out of the window on pur-
pose to plague little girls
You needn't be calling me "jealous''-I
wouldn't have had 1t, say,
Besides, father couldn't afford it-there's If
teen dollars to pay.
You think that my trip to the city has made
me peevislf and crossl
Cause city girls don't play with such playthings
Well, they don't-they have china-dishes, and
wonderful watches with keys,
Ard they say to their country cousins, " Do
you have nice playthings like these?'
1t isn't polite, not a bit-come, Trudie, come
down to the spring,
we won't think any more of Merino-the hor-
Now, Trudie, Plltell you q secret, don't think
Merino's SO bad,
And Bess didn't mean to provoke me-but, oh,
1t did make me so mad!
Yet, guess, after all, Trudie darling, it's best
to be loving and kind,
And II we are not very rich and can t have nice
toys, we won't mind.
Fine clothes don't make people proud!' as
Aunt May said, the day she was here,
AND plain ones shant make us naughty-and
wide A,pa1e.

Cost Of First-Class Bliss in Paris.

1t is very expensive to be born IN
farls. 1t costs still more to die here.
But to be married here is the most ex.
travagant thing man could do, unless
the brides pa planks down the money

you think all that is necessary is to get
her to say Yesr' and to Slip S1OO

Green-horn! France is a military ma
ton. A French girls heart is a Sedan,
which must be approached by trenches,
attacked by large artillery from behind
gablons, mined, then carried by assault.
After it is won the winner is allowed to
visit the won (the dear one) daily. He
gives her on his first visit gold ring
with one (or at most two) very valua-
bic pearls set between two diamonds.
The eve OF the wedding day he gives
her the plain gold ring and very costly
sapphire or ruby or emerald ring. He
sends her daily a nosegay of the rarest
white flowers tied with costly lace. or
with moire silk ribbon, on which her
name is embroidered in silver letters.
In aristocratic Romish families the first
person to whom the marriage is an
nounced is the Pope, who the day of the
wedding telegraphs his blessing. If
sovereigns or princes of the blood are
among the family's acquaintances thew

them only to grandparents. The parents
give their daughter twelve dresses, with

A Romantic Barber.

In 1856, according to an affidavit
made by the bride, a marriage took
place at Paris, in France, and Charles
Haase was the bridegroom. Two child

pursued his vocation as barber and

to relinquish, and he returned to end his
