rAfter a courtship of forty years couple in Syl-
va1ia Ga have lust been married.
Forty wears of constant counting,
a. demonstrating pair
Forty years of gay escorting
To the picnic and the fair.
Forty years of steady swinging
In the summer, on the gate;
Forty years of taffy hinging
In the winter, by the CRATE
Forty years-what blissful joy stirs
In the heart to think of this
Forty years of cream and oysters,
Favored with the willing kiss.
Forty years of OSCILLATION,
Passing like a summers dream;
Forty years. procrastnation
Make the nectar sweeter seem.
Forty years of swiftly lodging
Sundry dogs behind the fence;
Forty wears of meals and lodging
At her parents own expense.
Forty years of dilly -dallying,
While their friends were wooed and wed;
Forty years of shilly-shallying.
Till unthatched became each head.
Forty years! What time doth cover
With deep wrinkles youthful bloom,
Yet that bride will lie in clover
With her venerable groom.

THE WIDOW.

Her smiles are tempered by her signs:
her garb scarce wells her glory;
Inc tender glamour of her ewes
Enshrlnes her and her story!
NO Rreenhng girl, nor spinster tart,
She's all things that become her:
Her LIE, her beauty, and her heart,
Are in their Indian Summer

The press generally and in differep
parts OF the country regard the business
prospect much brighter now than il
was toward the end of 1888. Among
the Western papers which pay specia
attention to this matter there is none
perhaps, better informed than the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, and it says, in a
late number, that "the most encourag-
ing fact disclosed by o multitude OF
business reviews and prophecies is the
rapidity with which the commercial
community has received and assinlila-
ted the great fundamental law of trade,
that activity and depression are bound
to succeed each other in ever recurring
cycles that business men more than
year ago accepted the warning that they
had been going too fast that for this
they prepared themselves, and that
such preparation saved crash"
After careful review of all the condi-
tons 1t concludes that, while we RAY
not be on the eve ola general and speedy
revival of business actvity,it seems Ger.
tain " that there is nothing unhea lthy |
even in the experience OF last years |
failures and t at the present outlook |
has far more Of promise than of threat |
ening.' In the East, too, the same opin. |
Ion is expressed, for the Boston Globe |
remarks that careful, conservative
and experienced business men all ad |
init the outlook is much brighter than
1t was few weeks ago, and that there
Is growing feeling that the worst is
