CLARA Belle" wants to know what
young man 'front.' do when he's in love.
Well, no won't eat onions, he won't give
his attention to bis business, he won't
wear poorly-laundered shirt; he won't
go sec his girl until he has oiled his hair
and scented his pocket-handkerchief he
won't leave his girl at night until he
hears the step Of her exasperated father
on the stairs, he won't believe his girl is
anything but an angel, for he never saw
her hanging out the washing with six
clothes pins in her mouth at one time.
He won't take no for an answer when
he is parting with her on tho stoop and
asks for 'just one" he won't--but. what's
tho use of going further? Give us a
harder one, Clara.

John Mann had wife who was kin
and true

John Mann had wife who was kind
and true
A wife who loved him well
She cared for the house and their only
child;
But if the truth must tell,
She fretted and pined because John was
poor,
And his business was slow to pay;
But he only said when she talked oi
change,
"We'll stick to the good old wayW
She saw her neighbors were growing rich
And dwelling in houses grand;
That she was living in poverty,
With wealth upon every hand;
And she urged her husband to speculate
To risk his earnings at play;
But he only said, "My dearest wife,
We'll stick to the good old way"
For he knew that the money that's
quickly got
Is the money that's quickly lost;
And the money that stays is the money
earned
At honest endeavor's cost,
So he ploded along in his honest style,
And he bettered himself each day,
And he only said to his fretful wife,
"We'll stick to the good old way"
And at last there came terrible crash,
When beggary, want and shame
Came down on the homes of their
wealthy friends
While John remained the same,
For he had no debts and he gave no trust
my motto is this" he'd say
'It's charm against panics of every
kind
"Tis stick to the good old way ?"
And his wife looked round on the little
house
That was every nail their own,
And she asked forgiviness of honest John
peevish mistrust she had shown.
But he only said, as her fearful face
Upon his shoulder lay,
"The good old way is the best way, wife
Wen stick to the good old way"

MOLLIE WILSON'S BURGLAR.

Mary Wilson had passed the first
seventeen years of her life in a
country village then she went to
the city to visit her brother and
found its attractions so alluring that
six months slipped away and the
time of her return to country life
was, as yet, indefinitely postponed.
For two months previous to her visit
her country friends had We'd with
each other in telling tales of the
cunning, the wickedness, the subtil-
ty of city sharpers, pickpockets and
burglars, until the idea became firm
ly fixed in her mind that she was
going into den of thieves but as
yet, she had met with no adventure
worthy of note, and was fast reach
ing the conclusion that city people
were no worse than their country
neighbors when something occurred
which caused her, for short time
at least, to change her mind. But
Of this, more anon.
She was still heart-whole, although
she had been sought by several
very eligible suitors since her arriv-
al in the city, for she was a pretty
girl, very desirable for her own
sweet sake, but still more so as
Mary Wilson, sister of the wealthy
and influential Lawyer Wilson, and
this was how the matter stood, when
one Sabbath she chanced to see a
stranger in the pew adjoining her
brothers, and could not help seeing
that the stranger was regarding her
with admiring eyes they were, too,
but she tried to dismiss all thought
of him, and them, as she had done
