How to Propose.

A bright-eyed girl, who is a skillful
angler for hearts, thinks young man,
to De successful, should propose after a
very short acquaintance take the
girl by storm, as it were, while she is
pleased with new beau, and before
she has time to tire of him; then follow
the proposal up by vigorous court
ship, lots of flowers, drives, theatres,
etc. and, if she consents, insist upon a
short engagement by all means.
Another well-known blonde beauty,
who has created sad havoc and ha,
had much experience in this line, SAYS
the only successful way to propose is
when least expected. Allow no time
for consideration. and then insist that
the acceptance be snow or never. y
She feels sure that this is the only way
she will ever be captured; but she
thinks few men are bold enough to try
that game.
A handsome young widow, well
known in society circles, who is not so
rich as she was, says the only successful
way to win her is to offer fine horse
and carriage, with plenty of money to
keep up.
A dark-eyed girl, with n tangle OF
soft brown hair. shading her brow, says:
''If fellow is desperately in love
with girl. and is persistent in his eff
forts to win her, he is sure to gain his
suit. Widowers understand this point.
and know exactly how to make love and
propose, and You will observe they are
always successful" Size knows one
case where wldower went in and hung
up his hat, announced his intentions of
remaining until she accepted, and she
had to marry him to get rid of him. A
widOwer beau makes her nervous about
the result.
One sweet, dreamy-eyed girl, who is
Just on the threshold OF society, says
love-making must be so sweet that she
would wish her lover to be long time
making the approaches, and she would
not shorten the delights of an engage
ment if they the of each other it will
be better before than after marriage.
She is not particular as to his style, but
he must be tall and handsome. and sing
and dance well; and above all, he must
know how to make love. This girls
name must be kept secret.
One society belle who has spent sew
eral seasons in the ''field" says she will
give a man all the time he wants to
"begin the Siege but when he does
begin he must go straight through
without showing the "white feather"
She detests "skirmishing;;" it only gets
one wrought up to the fray" nothing
is accomplished. and it requires all ones
nervous force to endure campaign"
of tbs nature, TO say nothing of the
of several defeats.-GL

The Mustang.

The wild horse of America, although
| now native to the soil, is descended
from the tribes of wild horses that still
rove the plains of Central Asia. When
the discoveries of this continent first
landed, there were no horses anywhere
in either North or South America. Cen
turies before, the horse had been intro
duced into European countries from
Asia, and had become common all over
that continent. When Columbus ar
rived here on his second voyage, in
1893, he was accompanied by one
Cabra de Vaca, who brought with him
number of horses, which were landed
in Florida.
Cortez took horses with him to assist
in the CONQUEST of Mexico, as did Pizarro
in his conquest of Peru. The natives
were greatly atfrighted when they be-
held these strange ANIMALS. At first
they supposed that the man and the
horse were one complete creature,
something like the centusr of which We
read in ancient fable. And when they
saw the rider dismOunt and disengage
himself from his steed, their amazement
knew no bounds.
In time the savages learned that the
horse was an animal that had been sub
dued by man, and that it was q separate
creature. but they long dreaded the
horse of the Spaniards as q beast of
prey. And when the horses escaped
from their masters and male their way
into the freedom of the forest, as they
did after a spa e. the natives avoided
them as something to be Stunned. The
quarreling Spaniards neglected their
steeds, which soon found homes on the
plains of Mexico. South America and
the UNEMPLOYED interior OF North Amer
lea. From these escaped animals have
sprung the wild horses of America
The mustang, as the native horse of the
North American continent is usually
called, is generally of bright chestnut
color. The horses marked with odd
colors and patches are called "pinto,"
or painted" by the AIexicans, and
"calico," by the Americans. The
mustang is smaller than the domesti-
! Gated Anne lean horse; for we must re-
member that the larger horses now
found in our stables are the direct de-
scendants of later importations from
Europe.-No1t Brooks, IN st. Nicholas.

EASTER MORNING.

The fasts are done; the AYES said;
The moon has filed her horn;
And in the solemn night watch
Before the Easter morn.
So pure, so still the starry heaven.
So hushed the brooding air,
i could hear the sweep of an angels wings
If one should earthward fare;-
Great Michael with his flaming sword,
Sandalphon bearing to the Lord
Some heart cry of despair.
Now days are bright, and woods and fields
Thrill to the kiss of spring;
The blower calls across the marsh,
The mated robins sing;
And in all the sumner gardens
No fairer flowers will Irvine
Than the shy arbutus yester eve
/ found beneath the pine
A censor every blushing cup
Whose breath of Eden floating up
Made the lone dell shrine.
Alas for April song and bloomi
My eyes are dim with tears
As think of the dead no spring viii wake
Through all the circling yearsl
With broken hearts we laid them down;
We followed them with prayers;
And warm and true for aye we keep
Our love and trust with tears;
But silence s6rouds III I'm eyermore.

As the night-watches go.
Harkl it's the wCsS wind blowing free,

Faint murmurs answer from the wood;
