For a dining-room the prettiest and not
too expensive curtains one can have are
those made either of dark maroon or green
felt or Canton flannel. A band of old gold
about foot from the bottom and top of the
curtains, Sewed on with herring-bone stitch,
make them effective as well as comfortable.

the year in cleaning the cellar may prevent
sickness later in the the season. Remove
everything from the cellar, and if it is posi-

This will sweeten the air, and if some cop

The escurial laceS, which come both black
and white in peony guipure patterns, are
garnitures but in scarfs and fichus TO match
the various founcing widths. Black chantilly
lace is popular for neck wear, and some OF
the designs are close limitations of those seen
in real thread aces. Null scarfs, fichus and
squares, stamped with colored floral designs
or richly embroidered, represent popular
neck wear for morning and other neglige
occasions.

A Detroit woman, with neiglbOrs who
are determined to know all about her
business, found her husband at the
front door one night, two or three weeks
ago, in a befuddled state, and as she
pulled him in she cried out in voice to
be heard in either house:
"Why, Henry, you'vegOt one O them
epileptic fits again.
A few nights after that he returned
home in such a condition that he had to
creep up the steps on hands and knees.
and as she fastened one hand in his
hair and the other in his collar she said
for the benefit of listeners;
Il told you the rheumatics would re-
lapse on you if You exposed yourselft'
A night or two ago the old man was
assisted home by a pedestrian, who left
him lying on the sidewalk and rang the
bell and disappeared. The wife came
out, saw the neighbors peeping out, and
as she seized hold of the stupefied man
she exclaimed:
Dear me! but it has come at last!

and not little resemble, those ofantiq-
uity. One of them, which is told in
many parts of the South as well as here,
is implicitly believed by some of the
more credulous blacks. Here it is as it
comes from the lips Of one of them;
Years and years ago dere wasn't but
TWO nashuns on de earth, and both of

loved cher so much. Dis nashun he
took to de banks of de blessed ribber
and say, Jump in But dey didn't

The Deacon and the Choir.

Some mlschievous young persons IN
rural church choir were proud of the
way in which they rendered the music
of the church, and were much annoyed
by the discordant way in which an old
deacon in the congregation persisted in
doing what he considered to be his duty
and his share of the singing. The old
man, who had been in the habit of sing
ing in that style all his life, refused to
take the many hints which were from
time to time sent to him. At last the
choir folks, weary of discord, waited on
him in body, and told him how differ
ent his singing was from theirs and how
they wished he would stop, He listen
ed to them sadly, but respectfully, and
then said: My young friends, my
voice is not good, and my ear is not
perfect. My singing is not skillfnl; but
/ am sure it is more acceptable to God
than yours, for | am Christian, while
you sing all your beautiful music only
as choir" The young folks conclud-
ed to let that old man alone for the fu-
ture, and to allow him to do as much
singing as he pleased in any style that
might suit him.

The Two Ages.

Folks were happy as days were long.
In the Old Arc4dian times;
When life seemed only a dance and song,
In the sweetest of all sweet climes
Our world grows bigger, and stage by stage,
AS the pitiless years have rolled,
We've quite forgotten the golden age,
AND come TO the age of gold.
Time went by q sheepish way
upon IhessalyS plains of yore.
In the nineteenth century lambs at play
Means mutton, and nothing more
Our SWANS at present are far too sage
To live as one lived of old;
So they couple The crook of the golden age
With the hook in the age of gold.
From C0rydon's reed the mountains round
Heard news OF his latest flame;
And Ttyrus made the woods resound
With the echoes of Daphne's name
Ihey kindly left us lasting gauge
OF their musical art, we're told;
and the Pandean pipe in the golden age
Brings mirth to the age OF gold.
DwelleTs in hutS and in marble halls
From the shepherdess up TO the queen
Cared little for bOnnets, and less for shawle
And nothing for crinC inc.
But now simplicifys noI the rage,
ANA II 5 funny to think how cold
The dress they wore in the golden age
Would seem in the age CT gold.
Electric telegraphs, printing, gas,
Tobacco, balloons and sieam
Are little events thar have come to pass
Since the days of the Old regime;
And, in spite OF LemGipre's dazzling page,
I'd eive-thOugh it might seem bold
A hundred years Of the golden age
For year OF the age OF gold.
