Girls AnaIyr,caIly Considered.

Girls are of few days and full OF
mischief, and whatsoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.
When the fair young girlcheweth
her gum with greater haste and
stampeth her pretty foot, do thou
leok out.
She cometh forth in the evening in
low Ieck and short sleeves but al
morning she lieth in bed while her
mother hustleth.
When the sleigh bell tinkleth she
standeth at the window and yearneth
for beau, and when be cometh she
doeth up his purse. He wrappeth
the buffalo robe about her and hug
geth her much and stayeth out be-
yond his time, and the livery man
addeth four good dollars to his bill.
In the evening he hideth himself
away to her fathers mansion. He
goeth in and sitteth By the fire, and
ere he leaveth he poppeth the ques-
uon and she junipeth at the chance.
When the cock croweth he taketh
his departure, and when he remem-
bereth the smallness of bis salary, be
kicketh himself and compareth him.

John PhGuix's Famous Fight

A rumor had reached our ears that
the editor had arrived. Public anx-

of four troops. averaging 30 horses
each, 100 orses have been thus

one hour each day for three months,

the animals become exceedingly gen.

1t is verv high praise to say that

was of course too much to expect
that the President would escape

It is fortunate for impartial histo'

that its judgments are made up from
other materials than those of ephem.
eral and partisan opinion. We dc
not arrogate to ourselves the capaci

were we to do so, we should express
the conviction that President Ar

HE WAS EVER WITH THE PEOPLE.
The home lite of Chester A. Ar

whole American people. The fresf
flowers which daily decked the pic

daughter, have been constant in
fiuence for good upon the home hf'
of the whole people. No heart sus
ceptible to the love and beauty o
home but has felt that influence.
To the complaint that the admin
istration has been weak and apollo
getic toward foreign nations, it i
sufficient to reply, in the first place
that no instance of this apologetl'
weakness has been shown, and, ir
the second place, that in reversing
