To POETS WHO ONLY LISTEN.

When evenings shadowy fingers fold
The flowers of every hue.
Some shy, half-opened bud will hold
Its drop mornings dew.
Sweeter with every sunlit hour
The trembling sphere has grown,
Till all the fragrance of the flower
Becomes at last its own.
We that have sung perchance may find
Our little need of praise,
And round our pallid temples bind
The wreath OF fading bays.
All, poet, who hast never spent
Thy breath in idle strains,
For thee the dewdrop morning lent
Still in thy heart remains.
Unwasted in its perfumed cell
1t watts the evening gale:
Then to the azure whence it fell
Its lingering sweets exhale.
-[Oliyer Wendell Holmes

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED.

SAM FOR THE LUNGS, and I can say, of a
tsuth, 1t is far superior to any other lung pre-

fined to her bed four weeks with cough, and
had every attention by good physician, but he
failed to effect cure; and when I got one
bottle Of your DIR. WM. HALLS BAISAM FOR
THE LUNGS she began to mend right away.

Economy in Marketing.

To begin at the lowest lessons with the
young woman who wishes to dogreat things
with the family income, suppose on a mar
ket morning we vary the high priced meats
with something tasteful and trifiing in cost,
not in weight. One gets the general effect
of good living with discreet round of
plain, perfectly cooked, savory breakfasts
and dinners, INDUCING in roast and game
now and then, Given the good cooking,
the greatest gourEland in New York might
be satisfied at an expense of not over IS q
week for the material of his dinners We
are not flying at any such high figures in
our modest mood, but while dividends are
doubtful and salaries slender, propose to
see just how near nothing our living can
cost and be comfortable For the week S
marketing for family of six we will choose
beefs heart and skirting. as the dealer
calls the strips attached, which will be q
dozen pounds at five cents 4 pound; two or
| three fresh kidneys, six cents apiece per-
haps, and eight or ten pounds of the Shout
der cuts that bright, clear red and white
piece without a particle of bone or useless fat.
'as solid, wholesome meat as you will find
in the whole critter," the hearty butcher
tells us, as he checks off it at eight or ten
cents the pound You mas buy steak
from the first cut of the round for eighteen
cents pound, or take the whole twenty
pounds at nine cents each. The latter is
economy though your family is small, for
it will improve by keeping. Breast of
mutton at five cents, package of lamb
tenderloins at ten cents pound for an
extravaganza. | hope you don't think we
intend to starve-clams, crabs and hun
dred young mackerel at a cent apiece, or
lake fish as cheap, when the boats are in !:
celery, cress and parsley, as we go by, q
one, quart or two of dry lima beans,
some macaroni and tomatoes The fine
Italian macaroni is only eight cents a
pound by the box. Never mind what is in
the maple syrup can till the time com es.
Three pounds of suet must be added to the
basket, rump. not kidney suet, though the
butcher will tell you kindly that the last is
the best. He goes by tradition, we by ex-
perience.-[Shirley Dare, in Good House

ported to policeman the other day
that a robbery had occurred at the
house under very mysterious circum-
stances. The sum of twenty-five dol
lars, which was in china-vase on q
bracket, had taken wings.

found open?' asked the officer.

THE NUPTlAL KNOT.
Seven Separate and Distinct Ways of Com
hitting Matrimonv.

Seven Separate and Distinct Ways of Com
hitting Matrimonv.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied. the attending expense of the differ
ent modes varying from 81 to $1,000.
The least expensive, and the one seldom
adopted. except in cases of elopement,
is that afforded by the Justices Office.
There couple can be firmly united in
the space of a minute for a small sum.
1t is customary for groom to dress as
he may please when the marriage is to
be performed by Justice, and q dress
suit would be sadly out of place in the
musty law office. The one great adj
vantage of the justice-shop marriage is
cheapness.
As some people object to being mar
ried by Justice of the Peace. prefer
ring the sanction of the church in addi-
ton to that of the law, the young peo-
pie may visit parsonage instead of
Justices Office with the same prepara-
ton. The ceremony may be fully as
informal when at the minister's home,
the only difference being that not less
than So, and better still s. or $40,
should be paid for the service, although
there is no fixed sum charged. The
most popular ceremony among peo-
pie who do not class them
selves as in society" and also among
many who do. is quiet home wedding,
where the bride is attired in a suit OF
plain white or a travelling dress, and
the groom in a plain black or brown
bus ness suit. and where only few
friends and relatives are present. The
affair is informal, perhaps modest
supper or lunch being served after the
ceremony is performed. and the entire
expense to the groom being covered by
a $50 bill, or even less. This is the
most popular wedding ceremony. and
this is the way in which fully seventy
five per cent. of young people are mar
ried.
Next in point of favor and mex
pens!veness is the informal church
wedding, being similar in all things ex-
cept that the service IS performed
within the portals of the church. If
the affair is strictly private. the bride
and groom may be unsupported. or
have bridesmaids and groomsmen. as
they please. In the latter case full
dress suits should be worn, increasing
the expense. The full dress we'd
ding" as 1t may be called when the
ceremony is performed at home, is next
in favor. Elaborate trousseau, full
dress suits. bridesmaids and grooms-
men, flowers in abundance. and host
of invited guests are the requisites,
followed by reception. feast or lunch,
as the contracting parties may desire.
The seventh and last, and most pop
ular is the full-dress affair performed
in church. Among people who desire
to create a stir in society this is the
favorite. 1t is expensive, and in many
cases Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.

AN AGED SUPERSTITION.
How Friday Is Feared In Love, Law and
Commerce.

How Friday Is Feared In Love, Law and
Commerce.
Friday. as every one knows. has for
many years been regarded by many as
an unlucky day. But gradually the
superstition regarding the day is dis
appearing, and no longer is it generally
considered an evil omen to commence
an important work on that day. A
few even 60 to the opposite extreme
and select Friday as the best day for
good luck. Some of these persons who
so defy tradition and superstition have
satisfied themselves by research that
many of the most important achieve
ments in ancient and modern times had
their inception on Friday, or eliminated
that day, and therefore regard Friday
as lucky day. There are other
days of the week which are regarded
as more or less unlucky, and few even
among the most intelligent of the COM
munity look upon Mondays as indicat-
ing what they may expect during the
following days of the week as to their
business. One of the leading mer-
chants of this city. who died few
years ago, would not pay out money on
that day on any consideration, and
