UNDER HER CHIN.

For tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied young mans heart within.

And says she shall have a sealskin Sacque!

ButtOning the sealSkin up to her chin,
She glidcth out and she glideth in.
And the eyes of women with envy are green;
But the erst young fellow is seldom seen,
For in Il dark Office he labOrS like sin,
For the fairy who tied and rOped him in.

Tying her bonnet under her chin
Is not where the harm to that youth comes in.
Nor an Otnce dark; but a big, airy hail,
With green-cOvered table and cue and ball
Some friends, Il supper, and Il little gin
There's where the harm to that youth comes
in.
If Il man can enjoy the good things of life
Why should he grOwl at the wants of his wife,
And fume and scOld, and tear and roar,
And lay all the ills of the world at her door?
And why should the fairy have TOped him in,
BY tying her bonnet under her chin:

Two or Three New Ones.

1t was only two or three years ago
that the owner of grist mill on a creek
in New Hampshire, having capacity
of about fifteen barrels per day, entered
the mill one morning and said to his
son:
"John, I've been thinking.''

"Flour is too low.'
"She is that
eve are all grinding too much.'
eve are"
eff we grind less flour the market
will stiffen up and prices will advance.
That's it, dad; your head is as long
as a mill-race.'
The mill was shut down for four
months, and at the end of that time
flour was just as plenty land the price
was no higher.
"John. I've been thinking said the
old man as he concluded to start up
again.
..Of how we missed it?''
Exactly. You see my idea of shut
ting down was all correct, and calcu-
lated to lessen the supply and increase
the demand, and l couldn't think what
in Halifax was the matter. I've got

"What?"
"Why, jist about the time we shet
down they must have started up two or
three new six-barrel mills over in Yer

Hannah looked very bright and natty.
Her cheeks were pink and her eyes

Josiah must have been inspired to do
as well as he did. but it was very nat
ural sort of inspiration.
What he answered was this. though
he had not been able to think what he
should say as he came along:

There is on my side, said Josiah.
He had risen from the sofa, and they
stood looking at each other now. They
sat down in two chairs, one on each
side of the window. The moon was
rising over the hills. The shaded lamp
was not obtrusive. After while Josiah
took Hannah's hand Then his arm
stole about her waist.
1t was twelve o'clock when he GOT
home, but his mother was sitting up for
him. She looked at him inquiringly as
he began to wind the clock furiOusly.
When he had finished he went toward
the stairs, but half way up paused a
moment to say:
'Mother, I guess you'll have to put
up with Sarah Smiley for month. 1t
will take Hannah as long as that to get
ready, she says. l suppose she'll want
to make a silk dress and some other

"Josiah,'' said old Mrs. Conner. d" if
you're not too busy I'd like you to step
over to the Bankers and take message
for me-
"All right. MOTHER" said Josiah.
"What is it?''

Mrs. Conner And if you'll ask her

Josiah Conner, who had been hoeing
the garden, put his hoe in the corner
and went into the house. He took Oft
his gray flannel shirt and put on white
one, a linen coat and straw hat with a
blue ribbon around it. He further sac
riticed to the graces by tying his most
becoming neck-tie around his throat
under a stiff. new collar. His mother
noticed this, but made no remark She
was rather pleased that he should be
