IN THE NEST.


Gather them close to your loving heart
Cradle them to your breast
They will soon enough leave your brOO ding
care,
Soon enough mount Youths topmost stair
Little ones In the nest.
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run
There may come time in the by and by
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For a sound of childish fun;
When you'll long for q repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room,
of Mother % Mother p the dear love calls,
That will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'll long TO
hear
The eager bOyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear, shrill shout
The busy hustle in and out
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are grown up
And scattered far and wide
OF gone to the undiscovered shore
Whence youth and age come never more,
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them on your breast,
Ihey will soon enough leave your broodlng
care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.

THF RAZOR BACK HoG.-To the traveller
through Texas one of the strangest and most
peculiar features of landscape is the razor
back hog. He is of Swiss cottage style of
architecture. His physical outline Is angular
TO degree unknown outside Of textbook
on the science of geometry. The country
razor back prowls around in the woods and
lives On cOTns, pecan puts and roots when
he can spare time he climbs under his owners
fence and assists in harvesting the corn crop.
In this respect he is neiehborly to fault,
and when his duty to his owners crop will
allow he will readily turn in and assist the
neighhors, even working at night rather than
see his crop spoil for want of attention.
Crossing the razor back with the blue blood
ed stock makes but little Improvement The
only effective way to improve him Is to cross
him with a railroad train. He then becomes
an imported Berkshire or Poland China hog.
and if he does not knock the train off the
track the railroad company pays for him at
the rate of 81 per pound, for which they are
allowed the mournful privilege of shoveing
the remains OF the track. The ham of the
country razor back is more juicy than the
hind leg of al iron fire dog. but not quite so
fat as pine-knot.

LODGED IN A BATH.-A newly married
pair, who arrived on their Honeymoon trip at
celebrated Scotch wa5ering-place at a time
when accommodations was at premium,
had mattress spread for them by compass
sionate innkeeper in one of hts baths In
the middle of the night the house was alarm
ed by loud shrieks proceeding from the
nuptial chamber. What was the matter ?
Well, this. The young bride, wishing 20 ring
for a maid, had caught hold of what she pre-
sumed to be the beilrope. and pulled it
smartly. Unhappily for her and her spouse,
1t was the cord Of the shower bath over their
heads, and forthwith down pumped such a
deluge of cold water as would throw a
damper' upon the most devoted Of honey
incoming couples Her husband, in dismay,
caught franticaiy on another cord on his side
Of the extemporized couch, but the only re-
sponse was an equally liberal deluge OF wa
ter, this time boiling lot. The unhappy pair
then screamed in unison and the bride in
the excitement of the moment, uttered sen
timents anything but complimentary to her
fond husband. When the servants came,
they were Just in time to rescue the unlucky
pair from drowning, for the room was al
ready half full of water, and the wife was
perched like a monkey on her husbands
back, uttering the most lamentable cries,
while her good man was fumbling about in
the dark, trying his best to find the door.

A VERY CURIOUS RTDDLE.-Here is a GU
riOus old story that is something like puz-
zle: a crocodile stole baby, "in the days
when animals could talk, - and was about to
make dinner of it. The poor mother beg
ged piteously for her child Tell me one
truth" said the crocodile, ''and you shall
have your baby gain" The mother thought
it over, and at last said You will not give
it back" "Is that the truth you mean TO
tell ?" asked the crocodile. Yes, " replied
the mother. ''Then by our agreement 1 keep
him" added the crocodile; "for if you told
the truth am not going to give him back,
and if it is falsehood, then Ihaye also won ,"
Said she: mo, you are wrong Itold the
truth you are bound by your promise and,
If falsehoOd, il is not a falsehood until after
you have given me my child" Now the
question Is, who won?
