THE OLD LADY WHO DESIRED
PERMISSION TO COERCE
A BACKWARD SWAIN.

A motherly old lady, considerably
troubled with the asthma and also
lame, called at the Twentieth street
station the other afternoon to state
her case. She made the sergeant
place his hand on copy of Browns
grammar, which happened to be
there, and swear that he would never
tell anybody, and then she began:
Il have daughter

''They are engaged, and the we'd
ding day has been set three times,
but he flunks ont of it every time.
The first time he claimed that his
father was dead: the second time he
was afraid he had the smallpox, and
the third time, which was yesterday:
he said it would bring bad luck to
marry when comet was visible.
Now, then, don't like this fooling
around. When me and the old man
were ready to marry we walked over
to the minister's without any backing
out or beating around. y
"Well?"
''Well, | want to bring this young
man to time. He's either got to
come up to the rack or jump the
fence"
Eyes, he must
81 want to ask you how far l could
go. Suppose, after he arrives to-
morrow evening, / walk into the
room with pistol in one hand and
minister of the gospel in the other.
Wouldn't that precipitate climax"
II think so"
''If he really loves Susie, think
he would stand up and be married.
If he is only fooling around he'd
Jump through the the window, would
he not?'
''Looks that way to me-
sWell, I'll try it. / shan't in
dulge in no threats, you know. Ill
hold the pistol carelessly in my left
hand and hang to the minister with
the other, and I'll simply remark
that there's either going to be mar

liam will marry. It's my opinion
that he's waiting for little coercion,

ssOh, no, no! If he skips l shan't
do any shooting. I'll let the dog
give him run across the common
and send the minister home. / shall

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.
The sweet Chrst-month, the month that Love wa

The sweet Christ-month, the month that Love was
born,
That ever was an alien until now,
What though the blossoms hang not on the bough.
What though the earth of beautys place be shorn?
Lo! in the woods beneath the frost-kissed HILL
The holly lights the path-December's rose
And underneath the scarlet berry grows,
AS if to tell us Love is living still:
Living albeit under ruder skies;
Though the glad glory of the year be past,
With frost and death Love fingers to the last,
And in Loves breast her blossom never dies.
IT'S nursed with thoughts that come with Christmas
That "gracious time" when Love and Peace are
crowned
When the worlds woes in one greatjoy are drowned
The summer of the soul is Christmas-time
Is it but fancy? On the midnight air
Forever sound those wild harmonious bells;
Through vacant wales and long deserted dells
Mysterious anthems echo everywhere.
In deepest solitude the Christians soul
Strs to q thrill of some strange touch divne
Apart from shrlnes, he heeds the sacred sign
That holds the world in Loves sublime control.

THE OLD MAIDS PRAYER.

An old maid knelt beneath an apple tree
With feelings wonderfully queer;
She prayed both long and ierventy,
king, Lord, consent my voice to hear,
Thou knowest my wish before my tongue
Can name it. but it doth belong
To me to ask if I'd receive.
So thou hast taught, and believe;
Thou knowest it is not wealth or power
My heart desireth every hour,
But it's husband, Lord 1 wantl
Wilt thou the gift in kindness grant?
o give me one that's kind and clever
And thine shall be the praise forever!"
hoot owl sat in the maple tree;
A jovial. happy owl was he!
He had been hid in the leaves all day
Doing and sleeping his time away.
But at the sound of the old maids prayer
The bird awoke with sullen stare;
Silent he sat till the prayer was through.
Then suddenly cried: "Whoo! whoo! whoor'
Down went the old maid on her face!
''And dost thou show such amazing grace
AS to grant thy servant thy voice to hear,
Which has not before greeted mortal ear
Since Sinai shook to its very base
At its terrible tones? Oh, wondrons gracei"
Thus to herself the old maid did speak;
So badly scared she was faint and weak
And lay half senseless upon the ground
Till reused again by the terrible sound.
For again from the top of the tree was heard,
The loud "whoo, whoo," Of the ominous bird,
Then she answered: Dear me, hardly know who
Most anybody Lord, will dol"
