AzESSeeN FOR MAMMA.

LESSON FOR MAMMA.
Dear mamma, if you just could be
A tiny little girl like me,
And your mamma, you would see
How nice I'd be 10 you.
I'd always let you have your way;
I'd never frown at you and say;
You arc behaving i'll to-day:
Such conduct will not do
I'd always give you jelly-cske
For breakfast, and I'd never shake
Nv head, and say You must not take
So very large a slice
I'd never say: My dear, trust
You will not make me say you must
Eat up your oat meal;' or, The crust
You'n find is very nice
's1'd buy you candy every day;
III go downtown with you, ano say;
What would my darling like! You may
Have anything you See.'
I'd never say: MY pet you know
IT'S bad for health and teeth, and so
cannot let you have it: No;
Itwould be wrong in me-
"Aud everv day I'd let You wear
Your incest dress, and never care
If it should get great big tear;
I'd only say to you:
MY precious treasure, never mind,
For little clothes will tear, I iud.'
Now, mamma, wouldn't that be kind?
That's just wha: should do.
sUd never say: Wen, just few!
I'd let you stop your lessons, too;
I'd say: They are too hard for you,
Poor child, to understand
I'd put the books and states away;
You shouldn't do a thing but play.
And have party every day:
Ah-h-h. wouldn't that be grand!
fBut, mamma dear, you cannon gro"
Into little girl, you know,
And can't be your mamma; so
The only thing to do
Isjust for You to try and see
How very, very nice 'twou!d be
For you to do all this for me.
Now, mamma, couldn't you"

EXPENSIVE DRUGS.

i Milwaukee bald.headcd man
told a doctor that bis hair was
falling out, and asked him if be
didn't know of something that
would stop it. The doctor said
he would fix him, so he wrote a
prescription, which was as fol-
lows:
Chloride or sodium : or.
Aqua Dura - S oZ.
Shake we'll and rub on sLe scalp every morn
ing.
The bald went to the druggist
and had the prescription put up,
paying 81 II for it. He asked the
druggist if it wasn't little high,
but felt ashamed W hen the drug
gist asked him if he knew how
much aqua pura cost gallon. He
said he didn't, but supposed II
come high. The druggist told
him that aqua pura was one OF
the most penetrating drugs in
the store, and as for chloride OF
sodium, there was nothing like it.
and the war in Peru had sent it
up biting. The bald man used
the medicine, and felt as though
il was doing him good. His wife
noticed little new hairs coming
out, and he felt good, SO when the
stuff was gone he took the bottle
to the store and had it filled again
The chap who filed it this time
was another chap, and when tbs
bald-headed man threw down 3
dollar the drugger said: %, revel
mind. We won't charge you any
thing for that The bald man
asked how that Was, when tho
drugger said : Why, it is only
salt and water, anyway. The
salt is only 2 cents pound, and
the water is pretty cheap this
year The bald man gave one
gasp, and said We'll, by the
great bald-headed Elijah. | paio
81 for filing that bottle before
and l want my money back. Il
is bald headed swindle.
thought that Peruvian story
i'didn't look plausible The drug
gist gave the man box of cigars
to keep still about it, but he
won't speak 10 the other druggel
who charged him dollar.

A CURIOUS COURTSHEP.
Charlotte Observer.

\ somewhat interesting marriage
will soon take place in the city. The
bride is blind, but with that blindness
that does not impair the beauty Of
the eyes the groom is deaf and
dumb, but has Withal handsome and
intelligent face
They can be seen walking every
evening in the suburbs, the young
man carefully guiding her as she
hangs upon his arm and looks up
brightly Into his face with her sight.
less, beautiful eyes.
The two are next door Deighbors on
one of the smallest streets of the city.
4 gentleman wholi7es near and has
observed the courtship from its inccp.
tioo two months ago: gives some in
teresting incidents of its beginning
aud progress.
The young lady is extremely in
dustrious and used to do fancy work,
to which she had been trained. at an
open window looking the mute's
piazza. She had a most curious
taste, considering hey in6ruity, for
the brightest colors, and the quick
eye of the mute was attracted and de-
lighted.
He did not know at first, and in
deed no one in the neigbborhood did,
that the young lady was blind, and
the gentleman who watched them says
the unfortunate man seemed terribly
cast down when the expressive dem
onstratiops of his pleasure were met
day after day with blank stares, or
were almost ignored after grace
fui listening pose or so, the reason
for which he was unconscious. But
finally he found out in some way that
she was blind, and one evening he
crossed over and knocked at the door.
What occurred inside the observer
cannot say, but after this the visits
were regular, and the young man
nearly always took bouquet from his
garden, in which he took especial de.
light 10 cultivatiug flowers. In
week or so the walks began and are
almost daily, and it generally under
stood that they are to be married
early in the Fall the families of both
giving their full consent
Ore evening lady who is familiar
with these facts met the couple on
one of their walks near the city. She
| addressed the man, making some IN
quiry as to a point of which she pre-
tended to be in search. The young
lady answered as though the question
had been put directly.to her. The
lady desired the place to be pointed
out. The blind girl turned and
quickly spelt on her fingers, and the
young man pointed to the place de-
sired. Thus does the blind receive
sight and the dumb ears.
The gentleman who related this
story extracted promise from the re-
porter to mention no names.

FOLLOWING THEIR MAsTER.-lt
is we'll Anown that geese and gan
ders become attached to persons
who habitually feed them and
treat them kindly. But the at.
tachment is seldom so great as
that manifested toward 40 I'm
glish miller who keeps a flock.
The faithful creatures had re,
peatedly follow ed him a mile to
the village on week days when be
went to attend TO business. 1t
did not occur to him that possibly
some day they might want 10 tol-
low him to church. But on a re-
cent Sunday they seemed to be in
a devotional frame Of mind and
marched behind him as be went
to the sanctuary. Arriving at
the door, they wanted to follow
him in, and probably would have
occupied bis pew had he consented
to let them do so. He undertook
to make them understand that he
wanted them to go home, but the
innocent and awkward creatul es
failed to grasp the idea. Finding
it impossible to make them re-
turn without hitting violence
on them, the miller was compelled
to abandon bis religious privileges
for the day and proceed home

feathered pets.

The Years.
BY MRS. S. N. B. PIATT.

The years all alike. With childlike laughter
They follow butterflies with endless wings;
They peep into the birds nest they look after
White lambs and other pretty little things.
Then in the first flush oftheir youth, they bring us
Shy gifts of violets in a gallant way;
And ah what charming low love-sOngs they
sing us
From leafgreen shadows, where the wild
doves stay
But, somewhat later, they show bearded faces,
And sway the scythe and bear the shears about
In the hot fields, and quite forgot the graces
They had of old-as others do, no doubt
Still later, they 90 out for us and gather
The scarlet fruit in and the yellow corn,
Or walk about the whitening woods with rather
A faded look, and sigh and seem folorn.
Then they sit very still and watch the embers
Behind the curtains in some pictured room,
While each one somewhere in his heart remembers
The dew, the summer mOon-rise, and the bloom
Then comes the last night-watch the lonesome
tapers,
The few tears of the many, prayers quick said;
The black lined columns in the morning papers,
And yes-the many virtues of the dead
-IHdependent
