There is a vast quantity OF affection which
is aptly characterized by the following very
tender lines by Mr.. Reece:

People build houses by putting all the
carved freestone and costly embellishments
on the front and all the cheap brick al the
back. Some characters are built in the same
way precisely.

dishes and bakes for family OF three per-
sons The question arises. what do the
other members of the family do? 1t would
seem that when a lady reaches that age it

The elder Weller, OF facetious memory. ex-
pressed himself strongly on the subject OF
widows. There be people in this land of the
attorney and home of the breach of promise
suit who are disposed to side with him.
Come" said Cincinnati man, showing a
Chicago friend the institutions of the city,
come let us go see the Widows Home"
Not much" cried the terrified visitor. Il
saw a widow home once and it cost me
$4,000 for alleged breach OF promise No,

There is time IN every young mans life
when he firmly expects to commit suicide
through unrequitted affection. He lives in
Araminta's smile, and when that becomes
totally eclipsed the fearful night is filled
with ghosts and hObgoblins. A little arsenic
is close at hand. but somehow he doesn't take
it, for it has q business-like look which seems
to say il can't be trited with, and 50 he goes
about his matter OF tact affairs for one day
more. and is surprised that he gets along so
well without his first love and has become so
much interested in his second. W. NJ. Praed
has sung the history of this episode so well
that we all recognize it as q part OF our own
biography:
Weparted months and years rolled by.
We met again four summers after.
Our parting was all sob and sigh,
Our meeting was all mrth and laughter

Don't you think that is Masterpiece
the elocutionist inquired quite rapturously.
Il do not, was the blunt reply; lit is dog
gerel and you would know 1t if you had any
judgment at all about poetry" There is
nothing more nonsensical in the whole hist
DRY OF literature, the venerable lawyer is
presented as saying, than the fame given to
Payne for those rhymes. There isn't
thought in them worth preserving beyond the
old and worldwide one of the sweetness of
home. There isn't any excellence of langu-
age or structure. The piece. as a whole is on
par with the sentimental songs of the negro
Ministries. The tune is all that has keptthe
words from oblivion, and that was an old
Sicilian air stolen by Payne. Unrewarded
genius? Payne hadn't any; and if ne was
able to make a fair living as he did, out of
his commonplace writings, he got all the re-
ward he deserved"

anxious to give points to any poor wan

fortune that will make itself in fifteen min

have been in their lives in more comfortable
places, while the sadpess of their counte-
nances proves and, for that matter, the SUI
pernatural leanness OF their pocketbooks-
that they are not entirely satisfied or happy.
