PENALTIES.

The penalty of thin shoes is a

The penalty Of a tight boot is

The penalty of a baby is sleepless

The penalty of apublic dinner is

The penalty of kissing the baby

The penalty of interfering be-

quently accompanied with blows
from both.
The penalty of buying cheap
clothes is like going to law-the
certainty of losing your suit, and
having to pay for it.
The penalty of remaining single
single is having no one who cares
a button for, you, as abundantly
proved by the state of your shirts.
The penalty of a legacy, or for,
tune. is the sudden discovery of a
host of poor relations you never
drempt of, and number of debts
you had quite forgotten.
The penalty of lending is, with a
book or an umbrella, the certain loss
of it; with your name to bill the
certain payment of it; and with a
horse, the lamest chance of ever
seeing it back again sound.

RIDE FOR JUG OF LIQUOR.

One night a Carolina judge had
been out very late and on his re.
turn, after stabling his horse, he
kept vigil even later with some
sympathetic friends. On rising
in the morning and descending to
the breakfast room, his throat very
dry, what was his surprise to find
the demijohn that stood on the ta-
bic in similarly arid condition
"Sambo."
"Y-yes, sab"
"Take this jock-saddle the mare,
and ride down to the Corners and
get it filed as quickly as you know

"Yy-es, sah."
His order given, and the slow
and suffering Sambo from the
room, the thirsty son of Bacchus
and Minerva sat himself down,
watch in hand, to await the com
mitting of his commission. '"Two

Of course the bride could not enter

OF course the bride could not enter
leaning upon the arm of the groom
as is customary, for it would be
rather unique and odd to see her
hopping in on one foot, and she
might attact undue attention.
They approach the altar and the
ceremony begins. Where right
hands are usually joined she must
give him her right foot, and at the
words "with this ring l thee wed" :"
the peculiar circumstances Of the
case would compel him to place the
golden band of love upon one of
her toes. Of course it would tickle
her and she might finch and wiggle
her pearly toes, but this need cause
no serious hitch in the proceedings.
After the ceremony friends would
crowd up and shake her foot and
rain down blessings and kind
wishes upon her head, and under
propitious skies they would set
forth upon the journey oflife foot
in hand.
If the union should be blessed
with children how exhilarating it,
would be see her spank an obstinate
youngster. She would snatch him
up with her toes. lay him across her
knee and whack the holy delights
out of him with, the sole Of her foot.
Then she would release him, shake
her toe at him sternly and tell him
that if ever he disobeys her again
she will make him think he has
been sitting on a hot stove lid. AS
to kneading dough for the morning
biscuits-well, we will drop the
curtain of curiosity and pursue her
no further.

If you have anything to do, do it

Home is the place for boys. About.

they ought not to do.

games. I would make it as pleasant,
as lovely as could be, and would
give it to the boys to play in, and
when the play was ended I would
tell them to 60 home.

ooh! don't do il again; don't do

One or two students round were
laughing, but the surgeon did not
| see anything but pathos in the
scene, as he said, gravely:
''Then you are not i'll, and have
been giving US all this trouble for
nothing. Why did you do it,"
He wanted the lad to tell the
truth, and Of course to him Pet did.
"Please, sir" he said, not crying
now, but looking straight with his
gray eyes into the doctors face,
twas the tree, the Christmas tree,
as I wanted to see so awful bad
Me and Jimmy and Bill, we seed
it a-carried into here, all beautiful,
and-and-I did want to see it

"And SO you pretended to be i'll,

"And what am 1 got to do with
you now, do you think?"
Turn me out again. said Pet
promptly.
There was something very like
quiver in the surgeons voice as be
said with infinite tenderness:
"No, my lad, I shan't do that to
you, you shall see the Christmas
tree in here. You are not what
you pretended to be, but you are
quite ill enough to stay in the ward
until after Christmas time, and
then we will see!"
And so Pet had his Christmas
tree, and Jimmy and Bill came in
at the surgeons invitation to see it,
too, but Pet did not 60 back with
them to Lambeth. He never left
the hospital again, for consumption
ran a rapid course with him, and
before three months were over he
died in the ward.

An INCIDENT FROM LIPB.

How damp and cold and foggy it
was in Lambeth Palace Road one
December evening. 1t was terrible
noisy too, for huge carts, laden with
heavy goods from the Southwestern
Railway terminus hard By, ratified
incessanGly over the stones, and
everybody hurried along to be out
of the thoroughfare as soon as pos
sible.
Three little urchins formed an
exception 10 the bustling crowd,
for they fingered for more than an
hour around the big iron gates Of
st. Thomas's Hospital in spite of
/ the constant knocks and pushes
| they received, custom having made
them almost unconscious of such
treatment. Besides, the attraction
which kept them there was a power
full one. They had actually witness
ed, while they waited, the arrival
of no less than three Christmas
trees. Two of them, it is true,
were only young fir trees dug up
from plantation somewhere in the
| country and sent straight to the.
| hospital there to be dressed up in
all their attractive fnely, but the
third tree was present FROM the
wife of one of the consulting ply
sicians and was already trimmed
and decorated and covered with
toys.
There was some delay in moving
it from the light cart and carrying
it into the building, and so the three
small bows outside had time for a
long look at it in all its beauty.
One must be a child TO understand
what that beauty is; colored flags,
gold and silver balls, dolls, trum-
pets, candles, crackers, sweeties-
they need a child's Imagination to
be appreciated, but we may perhaps,
happily have enough Of it left in US
to know how much they convey to
him.
The boys on they sticky pavement
outside gave a long-drawn sigh as
the beautiful tree went out of sight
and they turned away to their own
usual acknowledgement, fog, cold,
discomfort, such as they had been
accustomed to all through their short
lives.
"My!'' said one OF them, Jimmy
by name; wouldn't just like to
be sick in there and ave that there
tree to play with l'
It was sentiment echoed by the
other two, as they edged themselves
along the railing of the hospital,
making their way back toward the

er of them, called Peter, although
the harsh, dry voice he spoke in and
white, wan face might have told an
other tale.

Pets was original and worthy Of
consideration.
He suggested that one of them
should feign to be i'll; should gel

TOO UTTERLY GOOD.
UPON THE MARRIAGE
OF A WOMAN BORN WITHOUT
ARMS.

We were reading in an exchange
the other day Of the marriage of a
woman ia England who was born
without arms, but who can use her
toes with remarkable dexterity.
She can sew, knit, crochet, use a
knife and fork, and scratch her
head with her toes with as much
ease as more fortunate motals can
with their fingers. After reading
the article we leaned back in our
easy chair, closed our eyes and
allowed our thoughts to 60 off on an
excursion across the water. We
followed that girl from the day
when she first shared a beau until
her marriage, and some of the men
tai pictures we drew were indeed
queer ones. When her lover would
call, of course she would receive
him as other ladies would, and just
imagine how odd it would be to see
her reaching up her foot, taking
his hat between her toes, placing
it upon the table and motioning
him to a seat. She would sit by
his side talking all the little nonsen-
sical nothings that lovers usually
talk, even and anon slapping him
lovingly on the cheek with the sole
Of her foot when he would get off
joke at her expense. She spies a
hair on his collar, and with a dex-
terity bordering on the marvellous,
reaching up with witching grace,
takes it in her toes and casts it
away. We can see sitting there
with her foot in his hand responding
to his tender squeezes, or coyly
toying with his Wiskers with her
taper toes. Mayhap he may hint
that he doubts her constancy, when,
with an injured look upon her face,
she puts her foot upon her heart
and assues him that it beats only
for him, that at every pulsation the
bounding blood murmurs his below
ed name. Then he smiles, takes
Che lovely foot in his hand, kisses
it fondly and assures her that he
was but jesting and that he would
as soon doubt the purity Of babe
as to doubt her love. If the neck
tie becomes loosened how gracefully
she would tie it with both feet, tap
ping the tie neatly down with big
toe when the job was completed.
We can picture her screening with
laughter and clapping her feet in
glee over some funny story, or wip.

toes at a recital Of want and suffer

CHELDHOOD's YEARS.
BY W. B. FOX.

O, Fleeting Time! Give back to me
The joys of childhood's happy years!
Give back the hours from anguish free
Andtake these bitter sighs and tears.
For am weary and would fain,
Forget the dreams that round me
cling;
Ofhopes cherished, crushed and slain,
That o'er me now their shadows fling.
Slowly the pain-fraught years go by.
Watching life's flowers fade and die.
1 count them not, howe'er they flee,
For life is but dream to me.
Long, long ago with trust betrayed
l saw from life the sunshine fade
And earth grew drearier, day by day,
As all that cheer'd it few away.
Loves holy VOWS I've found untrue,
And soon forgot for face that's new.
If honor and wealth fills the offer'd
hand,
1t matters not for the hearts demand.
Low, at the gilded shrine OF Fame,
Eve seen the faithless heart bow
down,
To win the praise of faYor'd name,
Which paltry greatness gave renown.
