WISDOM.

HOME. SWEET HOME.

There is an artist residing in the village.
He is thoroughly good fellow, but is aoine-
what egotistical aud self opinionated. He
is first, class artist and disciple Of Wag-
oner. He paints wagons.
He is very fond OF the girls.
The other night the vicious boys Of the
village put up job on our hero. They sent
him letter by mail, in which they asked
him TO meet distracted and infatuated
maiden who had fallen dead in love With
him and longed for ucquaintanceship. They
signed fictitious name.
He was TO meet the imaginary young lady
in front of the church, and in order TO pre-.
vent mistakes was to whistle "Home, Sweet
Home"
On the night in question he spruced up
and started out to conquer.
The boys had ensconeed themselves be-
hind the fence.
Along came our hero. He was whistlipg
"Home, Sweet Home" for all it Hns Worth.
He walked up and down in front Of the
church and he whistled that good old tune
ill his mouth looked like a putty blower.
He scared all the eats in the nighborhood
and the residents began to pour buckets fall
of slugs into their double barreled guns.
The boys were behind the fence with on.
ripe centennial eggs, and just as the master
was about getting tired they saluted him.
When be arrived home the noses of the
other boarders went up to the ceiling. He
now turns pale every time he hears Home,
Sweet Home" whistled, which is evsry hopr
in the day. When questioned as to no
esuse OF the loudness of the eologns be wors
homo that night, he said he kicked a cat on
the street, and nfterwarl aseertained that it
wasn't that kind OF a cat.

Flower. THAT Never wi,her.
Thore are flowers that mover wlther,

Thore are flowers that never wither,
There are skies that never fade.
There are trees that cast forever,
Cooling powers on leafy shade,
There are silver wavelets lowing
With lulllng sound Of rest,
Where the west wind, softly blowing,
Fans the far lands Of the blest.
Thitherward ovr steps are tending,
on through dim, oppressive tears,
More Of grief than pleasure blending
In the darkenIng woof Of years,
Often would our footsteps weary,
Sink upon the winding way,
But that when all looks most dreary,
Ger us beams a cheering ray.
Thus the Fat her who hath made US
Tenants of this world Of care,
Knoweth how to kindly aid us
with the burdens we mast beerI
Kroweth how TO cause the spirit
Hopefully to raise It's eyes
Toward the home It doth inherit
Far beyond the azure skies.
There is voice that whispers slowly
Down within this heart Of mine,
Where emotions the most holy
Ever make this sacred shrine,
And il tells thrilling story
or the great Rcdeemer's love,
And the Acknowledging glory
OF the better land above.
oh, this life, with all It's sorrows,
Hasteth onward to close
In few more brief to.morrows
VIII have ended all our woes,
Then o'er death the part immortal
Shall subllmely rise and soar,
Ger the star resplendent portal,
There to dwell foreyermore.

He's rich, though rather passe; and it's plain
He loves her. that the very blind could see.
How graciously she listens to his drawl!
All, can she know I love her best of all?
never told her how her winsome face
Comes to my thoughts unbid, the whole day
through;
never asked her if there is place
In her young heart where I'm remembered
too.
Yet, watching her, lean against the wall,
And tell my soul love her best OF all.
Now halts tie music for a little space;
And seated, see, she gathers daintlly
Her gowns gay folds aside, to make place,
A places for Briggs. BY Jove, she beckons
Ny queen, I cOmel Now, let what may be-

THE ICE.

Now the men are cutting ice
Crystal ice
And they'll fill up all their houses in trice
How they giggle, giggle, giggle,
In the frozen air of day,
While the mercury runs lower
And their saws go never slower,
But up and down Away,
Like the stocks, stocks, stocks,
Or like Jacky-in-the-box,
Through the crystal congelation that hides
the ponds so nice
With the ice, ice, ice, ice,
Ice, ice, ice,
Through the frozen aqua pura, through the
ice.
In the summer, oh, how nice,
Cooling ice!
On the table what blessing is a slice,
In the heated air of noon,
when the butter sinks in swoon
And the water is lukewarm
And hard to drink,
And the flies about you swarm
Like the chickens on the newly plathe
farm!
Oh, to think,
As you hear the sound SO nice
OF the cart all drip, drip, dripping with the
ice,
Once or twice
That the price
Does not pinch you like wise
No thicker than the liquor
Of the ice, ice, ice,
Of the ice, ice, ice, ice,
Ice, ice, ice!
