THE MAIDEN AND HER LOVER.

Far, far away. beside the foam.
A little maiden had her home,
And princes woed her, rich and gay,
But Still she lightly said them nay;
She cared not if they came or went,
Within her humble home content;
For things were not rs now, you know,
Long, and long ago.
Her father oft would musing stand,
And hold his little nader 5 hand,
And, pointing, cry, From Ger the sea
One day my woe will come to me-
And whisper as he shook his head:
"What shall DO when she is we'd
He loved her so, he loved her SO,
Long, and long, and long ago.
4 lover came Ger seas one day,
And stole her simple heart away;
But when she saw her father tears,
And thought of all his after years,
$50 back across the sea-, she cried,
Aud wept, 81 cannot be thy bride"
For things were not as now, you know,
Long, and long, and long ago.
She watched, upon the bridge next day,
Her honny lover sail away;
She dropt his ring into the foam,
And then at twilight wandered home;
She found her father sitting there,
She wept and kissed his silver hair;
She loved them both, she loved them so,
Long, and long, and long.

It is a Mistake.

1t is mistake to suppose that a man
is never employed 4. conductor of a
horse car unless he can bring the cartifi-
cate Of respectable physician testlfying
to his total deafness. 1t onl y seems so
to you because you happen not to at
tract his attention when alticularly de
sirous to take his car.
1t is a mistake TO think that your ac-
tons or desires have any influence on
the dispenser Of weather You should
be thankful they do not If they did
Old Prob would go mad and your fell
low countrymen 60 madden.
1t is a mistake to think your inter
locutor is listening to what you say. He
is thinking either OF what he has said
or is going to say, just as you were and
will be-
1t is a mistake, young man, when
you think the girls are just dying after
you. 1t is only you who are thorough
ly in love with yourself.
1t is a mistake for a preacher to say,
Just one word more and am done"
He but lengthens his discourse by so
much, without deceiving any one of his
hearers for an instant.
1t is mistake to suppose that every
body is thinking about you. You do
so much of that kind of work yourself
that you exhaust the subject.
1t is mistake to expect direct an
swcr from politician. His life is
given to lodging questions before cleo
ton and giving evasive answers after
election.
1t is q mistake to suppose that your
children will be satisfied with your ex-
periences. You didn't accept your
fathers, but preferred taking term in
the same dear school.
1t is mistake to suppose that men
do not mean what they say. There is
but one man of whom you can positively
make that affirmation.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
dismally pious man has had change of
heart. The change is in his liver, if
anywhere.
1t is mistake to suppose that people
60 to concert to hear the music. They
go simply to exchange receipts for
douehAuts and dropcakes.
1t is mistake to suppose that your
eliend is consumedly interested in your
frequent description of your liver
troubles. On the contrary, he is excess
sively anxious to tell you OF his catarrh.
1t is mistake to wish the butcher
would remove the bones before weigh
ing your meat. How would you like to
be weighed that way yourselfl

An Iceberg.

Drop a bit of ice into a tumbler of
water. II floats, but almost the whole
of it is below the surface A small
fraction Of the ice is out. AS the gray
ity of ice is to water, so is the part
above the surface to the part below. 1t
makes no difference how large or how
small the lump, it may be as big as a
mountain, or rs small as an apple, nine
times as much of its weight will be

huge mass stands like pyramid Of
Cheops out OF the sea, it reaches nine

margin, and passed it, glowing and bril-

With the knowledge Of its proportions,
and the necessary fate Of ship that
should run against it, we looked with
awe while its beauty was fascinating.
There was weight Of glory" in it.

Lafayette, at the age of 20, left his
young wife and flew to the aid Of Wash

supplies most needed by the American
troops, and helped them with the pres

when his own means was exhausted, he
