THE STORY OF LIFE.

Say, what is life7 'Tis to be born
A helpless babe to greet the light
With a sharp wall, ss if the morn
Foretold a cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again.
With sunny smiles between-and then7
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes.
Were he but conscious ofhis joy!
To be in short. from two to ten,
A merry, moody child-and then?
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the Decslogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butterflies and then
Andthen increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, a youth full grown,
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways Of men
In fashionable sin-and then?
And then, at last, to be man
To fall in love. to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prize-and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled old
To mourn the speed Of life's decline;
To praise the scenes Of youth beheld.
And dwell in memory of lang syne;
To dream awhile with darkened ken.
Then drop into his grsve-snd then?

The PIAZZA of the Seaside House was

Two Remarkable COuriships.
A UNION OF FAMILIES IN THE RAIL
WAY STATION.

4 woman arrived here yesterday
forenoon from the East with seven
children in tow, and at almost the
same hour a man reached the same
dep ct from the North with five oG-
springs Of various ages and sizes. She
was a widow and lie a wldower, and
the children had not been spanked
more than once around before there
was a sort Of mutual sympathy that
begot admiration and then friendship.
One Of tie widows boys offered one of
the widower's girls bite of his fried
cake, which was accepted In the spirit
rendered. Presently the widower
made bold 10 inquire:
Madam, am l wrong in believing
that you are widow"
Il have been a widow fourteen
months to day. she answered.
Great SCOTS but IT'S just fourteen
months to-day since my Hammer died !
Which wav be you gong?
To Illanoy.'
That's just where i'n going, TOO.
Did you promise your husband never
to marry again p
No.
tAnd didn't promise my wife, either.
Fact is, l believe 1 shall unite as soon
as ind some good woman
Aud my children need fathers
care,' che sighed as she pulled little
John Henry off the window-sill and
bumped him into seat.
The man got up aud walked around
the waiiiug-room and took a closer
look at the children. Then he return
ed and said:
Il suppose you've got few hundred
dollars, belong to some church, can
wash and bake and mend, and are of
mild and forgiYing disposition?' p
Yes, that's me-
well, I'm kinder religious, even
tempered aud am worth about s2'OOo.
I'm sort o. struck on you. There
something about your eyes that reminds
me of Hammer
And you look like Alobzo around
the mouth she sighed.
Then lie bent oyer and whispered
something about Chicago aud getting
married. and she nodded her head. He
gathered the children under bis wing,
took them into a corner, and solemnlY
and impressively observed:
children, am going 10 get married
to that woman over there and give you
new mother. If any Of you is going
to kick and boohoo about it, begin now,
so that can tune ye down before the
train goes. Henry, you are the Oldest
Are you going to declare you'll run
away or commit suicide? Let me
know right now, for this is good cool
place 10 prance ye around with shin
gle.'
Harry said he guessed it would be all
right, and the rest Of the crowd seemed
to agree, and ten minutes later the
widoyer and widow sat holding hands
and trying to eat peanuts, and the
twelve children were biting and pulling
hair and kicking to see wLo should
have a seat on the steam heater.
This is kinder the work OF HelvenV J.
chuckled the widower, as be hitcheda
little nearer.
You bet, love y she replied as sue
shucked another peanut with her teeth.

She had a fancy for peaches in the
