Fond memories Of my youthful days

And roses climb around its porch,
To kiss the gladdening sun.

Since in youths pride played beside

The song, the merry tale.

A POPULAR GIRL.

What is it that determines a girls
popularity in society! is a question
often heard in these days of social
strife and aggrandizement, and ques-
ton that no one is quite able to an
swer in a word. 1t is not because
she is well-dressed, or even pretty;
it is not that her fairy godmother be-
slowed witty tongue to amuse the
billiards; it is not because she is
rarely intelligent or highly educated,
or 80 ample"-no, none Of these de-
sirable qualities would render the
popular girl more popular than she
is, though perhaps she is fortunate
enough to possess one or more Of
them for her stock in trade. The
girl everybody likes need have Meth
err money or beauty, which, in the
worlds estimation, constitutes social
power; but she must have and does
have a gracious manner, certain
graceful hearing, decided intlelh-
gence, instructive generosity, and
above all, the greatest gift ever award
ed to woman-personal magnetism
Beauty is called the fatal gift, but
personal magnetism, which is indie
pendent of beauty, is the gift of pow
er, and, though, scarcely recognized
at first, only relinquishes its hold
with death itself. The popular girl
always has this fascination in more
or less degree, and, if with it go the
other attractions of happy circum-
stances, she rules the indisputable
queen Of her small sphere. Her
friends do not analyze the effect she
has on them; they simply like her,
love her, and later, when the time
comes, adore her. Boston Beacon.

AVERAGE PEOPLE.

Average people are the ballast of
the world. Notwithstanding their
usefulness, how few people are will
ing to be ranked as average How
many secretly feel that they 90 be-
yond the limits of that ephithet, and
that their acquaintance are Just be-
low it Those who think that they
have escaped the boundry line and
are clssed with the remarkable peo-
pie indulge in perfect mirage of
thought, which, to themselves, inverts
their hulk of common-placeness into
mast-heads of prominence. We look
at them through their self-imposed
atmosphere, and believe that they
are above water-line but the air
changes, and the relative proper
ton Of their attributes is plainly
visible Insignifcance is never great
er than when it thinks it is Just bove
the average. Endeavoring to avoid
its limitations, it wraps itself in the
restlessness which it supposes is the
necessary malady of growth. 1t hugs
its imagined headaches and heart
aches, and believes that it is perpet-
ually suffering from an access of crea-
tive thought, of original deed, which.
always coming, never appear. Some
men and women are ever on an un-
even race for wealth and ambition !;
they are discontehted with the res
trictions of home and humility: they
speak with pathos of their unfulflled
aspirations, of their weary, large-eyed
gaze at society, of the hollowness Of
life, and the solace of interior views. ;"
of the comfort in keeping thought
diaries and interchange of misty quo
tations with deep natures searching
for truth. They try to do and be
more than their mental and physi-
cal limitations. TIE women want
some loftier mission than homework !;
the men something more than clerk
ships. So many win the public school
diplomas that they are sure they can
also succeed in the struggle for a
profession, or for one of the higher
avenues of employment. A failure
is attributed to any other cause than
to mistaken self-estimate. This de-
sire for advancement, irrespective of
personal qualifications, is the reason
for the increasing influx of restless
ness among so many persOns.-hate

THE DRUDGERY OF ADJECTIyES.
Home Journal.

There ought to be society organ
lied for the protection of adjectives.
These innocent, defenceless parts of
speech have been impressed into the
service of sensationalism, and forced
to do the drudgery Of extravaganza,
until their strength is at the point of
utter exhaustion. Fifty years ago
the adjectiv lived life of compare
tive ease ;; it was respected +; it was
real power, and when called upon to
aid in expression could appear with
most impressive results. But to-day
it is bleached, limp, shapeless- wreck
so long dragged through the thor
oughfares of speech that it retains
scarcely resemblance of its former
self. Some time ago we called atten-
ton to the abuses which have destroy
ed the adjective in our political cam
paign literature, and now a writer in
Lippincott's Magazine shows that the
same process is going on IN our fic-
ton. Novels have become all adj
jectiyeS. Plot and incident have
given way to mere nomenclature
of qualities. Instead of story we
have perpetual mist, a fathomless
mush, on endless hux of qualicatives.
For illustrations the writer selects a
well-known novel of the day, the he
roine Of which is literally buried in
adjectives. The intention was clear.
ly to achieve a surprising portraiture,
but the result is the mistake too of
ten made by artists-a canvass over
charged with details, which instead
of clear ideal, leave only chaos in
the memory.

A WHITE MOUNTAIN STORY RETOLD.

From the Salem Mass Gazette.
Forty-one years ago John Smith
was the driver and chief proprietor
of a line of coaches running to the
mountains. Whether this was John
Smith the First or the one thous-
andth we cannot tell. 1t was said
that he had but one eye, and that
was keen and on the main chance
On his down-trip one time a Boston
gentleman took seat by Johns side
and being of an inquisitive turn of
mind, he asked numerous questions
concerning different mountains and
views, till at length Johns patience
was exhausted, and in answer to one
question he tartly said: Stranger,
if you will attend to your business |
will to mine" AS might be readily
imagined, there was a very quiet
time after this. After a drive of
few miles John drove up to Il coun
try store and post office, where tn
mail was thrown Of. While the mail
was being changed Mr.. Smith swap
ped horses with man who came for
that purpose, and the new horse was
''hitched in, and the driver was so
intent on the trade and so DESTROYS
of trying the mettle of his new horse,
that he started of without taking the
mail bag. After a drive of some ten
miles he drew up at another office,
and on reaching for the bag and not
finding it, he said: "By thunder, l
left that bag at the other office "
~ es, " said the Boston man, 81 OBJ
served that you did" "Why in bla-
yes didn't you tell me?' Because
you said you would attend to your
own business, and thought | would
let you"

NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

b. a young legal light was out call
ing ON young lady, when a young
man and another young lady called,
and the young lawyer thought it
would be cunning to get down behind
the sofa and not let them know he
was there, and surprise them by bob
bing up serenely from below when
the proper time came. They came
III and the first thing they asked for
was the young lawyer who had told
the young man he would be there that
evening. They began to talk about
him, discuss the size of his feet, which
they claimed were large, and the size
Of his head, which they asserted was
a child's size. He perspired, and
they talked about his MASKING quail
ties; how he had mashed a girl who
clerked in Il store, and the opinion
was expressed that he was regular
flirt. Then they talked about his
family, and he tried to stuff his ears.
Just then little terrier belonging
to the girls brother came into the
room and somebody said rats" and
told the dog to hunt them. The dog
went under the sofa and began to
growl and shake something. The
other young man and the two girls
rushed out of the room, and the law
yer got on his feet, pulling the dog
up by the teeth, and the dog shook,
and the young man kicked and yell
ed, and presently the girls father
came in and seeing what he supposed
was burglar, he took an old hair
cloth covered chair and was going to
brain the burglar. When the young
man told who he was the father UNI
locked the dogs teeth, after he had
remembered the combination, and
the young lawyer took himself in
hand and went away.

PRACTICAL JOKE.

DIR. Joel Branham was a great practi-
cal joker. Ever hear the plum joke
he played on Phil Dawson 2"
mo" said | "what was itY'
"Well, you see, Phil Dawson lived
across Little river, five or six miles
from town. He was a mighty lover
of plums, and one day he ate two
many. He always said that plums
wouldn't make anybody sick, and
when he found out that something
was the matter with him, he thought
he was poisoned. He sent a negro to
town in great hurry after DIR. Joel
Branham, and when the Doctor ar
rived, Phil told him that he was poi
soned.
Eat any plums to-day, Phil?' said
the doctor, after feeling his pulse and
humping him in the sides.
yes, doctor; but they didn't make
me sick. Plums never made a man
sick
That's so Phil, and | reckon you
are poisoned. Let me consult your
wife
The doctor took Mrs. Dawson aside
and fixed up joke toplay on Phil.
You've got to take this, Phil, said
the Coctor, going back to him and
offering him a tremendous dose of
ipecac. CAS- soon as you swallow it,
90 out into the yard and hold on to
the limb of a tree, and be sure you
don't yomit. fyou do, your a dead
man.
All right, Doctor I'll do my best
Phil said. lie swallowed the medi-
cine and went out and caught hold
Of the limb of an apple tree in the
front yard. The doctor and Mrs.
Dawson went out and sat down on
the front porch. Directly Phil call
ed out;
Doctor think | shall have to vom-
it,
Don't do it, Phil said the doctor !;
you're dead man if you do
Phil held on to the limb little
tighter and braced himself back. He
soon got deathly sick and began to
cry.
4 shall have to vomit, DOCTOR" he
shouted. II can't hold in any long
er. I'm dead man Goodbye,
world !"
He did vomit, and the doctor and
Mrs. Dawson nearly killed themselves
laughing. Phil got better pretty
soon, and turned around to the dec
tor-and said
"You're darned rascal, and I'm a
darned fool"
Then he went out of the front gate
and walked off into the woods.
