Yes, we shall miss him very much,
Despite his faults, for he was such
A wonderfully perfect bore;

Aud one that, by a curious freak
As 1t grew duller 1t pierced the more
The Honorable Alfred Tot
II was our hero's mournful lot
70 hear this tragic name-set sail
Upon whimsical sea-lark;
His oily words, poured round the bark,
He knew would still the widest gale.
But his relentless larynx brought
A fate of which he'd never thought:
A few weeks out the captain died,
BY yapid chat completely hoored;
The crew fed madly-overboard,
And Tot was left In lonely pride.
Yet he kept up, through sun or fog.
The ships aud his own mono-logue;
He talked the storm down, and at last
With many a pensive, lingering qualn,
Amid wide aud death-tired calm,
On Patagonia's shore was cast
The ill-brcd natives planned TO eat him
That was the only way to beat him,
They wished To banquet him; and what,
In view of their scant lardcr-shelf,
Could do more honor TO himself,
Than TO serve him up smoking hot
.'But," said their chief, ''lifes very duh;
Take heed, take heed, before you Gull

Be quite exciting, but how should

Pondering It DER with thoughtful brow,

We do not kill our bores because
We know each time they hold their laws
Our ennui finds such sweet relief.

Don't be whining about not having a
fair chance. Throw sensible man out
of the window and he'll fall on his feet,
and ask the nearest way to his work.
The more you have to begin with the
less you will have in the end. Money
you earn yourself is much brighter than
any you get out of dead mems bags. A
scant breakfast in the morning of life
whets the appetite for feast later in
the day, He who hau tasted sour
apple will have the more relish for n
sweet one. Your present want will
make future prosperity all the sweeter.
Eighteenpence has set up many n ped
dler in business, and he has turned it
over until he has kept his carriage. As
for the place you are cast in. don't find
fault with that; you need not be n horse
because you are born in stable. If a
bull tossed man of metal sky high, he
would drop down into n good place. A
hard working young man with his wits
about him will make money while 9TH
ers do nothing bat lose it.

A Joke with Happy Termination.

A ludicrous incident recently took
place in Liverpool. There are two
brothers who pared many years ago
when boys, one of them going to Am
erica to seek his fortune and the other
remaining in Liverpool to make it.
They have both been eminently success
full in this respect, and not long ago
the brother in America determined to
visit the brother in England. The time
of visit was settled by correspondence,
and tie American set sail. The Eng
lish man is a notorious wag, and arrang-
ed that an acquaintance should meet
the American as his brother and con-
duct him to the hotel. The American,
who was also a great wag, on the trip
decided to play exactly the same joke
on his brother, asking an acquaintance
whom he had met on the ship to per-
senate him for few hours. The ac-
quaintance entered into the spirit of the
joke, and when the vessel arrived at
Liverpool was found by the personator
of the Eng lish brother and driven TO
the hotel. The real American brother
followed more leisurely, chuckling over
his joke. In the meanwhile the English
brother had also gone to the hotel, burst
ing with merriment over his joke. 1t
happened that the two real brothers
met in the lobby of the hotel, and,
though they had been parted SO many
years, they knew each other. AT first,
with blank amazement they greeted
each other; and then, as they explained
mutual jokes, laughed long and heart
lily. But the climax was yet to be
reached. An explanation in regard to
the gentlemen who had personat9d
them, and who were now, as they i'm
agined, playing a huge joke on each
other, showed that they also were
brothers who had been separated from
boyhood, but who did not know eacf
other when they met The first pair o.
brothers hurried up to their parlor, ant
after the situation had been explain.
ed all ar und, the comedy of error
was pleasantly ended by an oldfas hion
ed English dinner.

said the grocery man, as he went TO the
book and charged the SIX shillings.
20, don't know. think pa is cruel.
A man who will take poor kitty by
the neck, that hasn't done any harm.
and tries to chastise the poor thing with
trunk strap, ought to be looked after
by the humane society. And if it is
cruel to take car by the neck, how
much more cruel is ii to take boy by
the neck, that had diphtheria only a few
years ago, and whose throat is tender.
Say, guess will accept your invitation
to take breakfast with you, and the boy
cut of a piece of bologna and helped
himself to the crackers, and while the
grocery man was out shoveling off the
snow from the sidewalk, the boy filled
his pockets with raisns and loaf sugar,
and then went out to watch the man
carry in his kindling wood.
