Cupid's Conduct.

wi. DOuAu u Z y Sou.
Cupid is a queer little chap, and the
older he grows the cranckier he gets.
He is a bigger fool-maker to-day than
he wa 1900 years ago, when he in
duced Col. Sampson, the great original
lion tail-twister and congressional jaw
bone ~swinger, to lay his wool and his
glory in the lap Of a half negro, Delilah.
He is a more egregious ninny-breeder
now than when he led all Homer's heroes
on that wild Grecian bender after the Sa-
rah Bernhard of the Trojan era. He is
a more unconscionable heather amid all
Jul nineteenth century blaze Of Gospel
light and liberty than when he and his
scanty-skirted mamma, Mrs. Venus, led
the pagan orgies of Athenian damsels
beneath the shade of ancient olive
groves. He is creations marplot, dig
nity's dethroner, reasons upsetter and
scoffer. Old women, toothless and
shriveled, touched by the pestiferous
little archer who turks in rosebuds and
cabbage heads, plaster their graveyard
countenances with enamels and paints
enough to gorge camp of Kickapoo
squaws, swing gawds and gewgaws to
every available protuberence, pile on
sweet sixteen toggery, and smirk and
giggle in a style that would drive a
whole bedlam of ordinary lunatics to
suicide. The bigger the folly the surer
the stroke. No mar was ever truly in
love who did not make a joyous ass OF
himself, and the huger the BARS the
the purer the fame. All masculinity
is doomed, sooner or later, to be smitten,
punctured, h%orpooned; and, sheltered
beneath the mantle or w~ings--which-
ever he wears-of ~swift-coming St. Val
entine, I wish to tell all womanhood
that no where on earth is that shifting,
puncturing and happening so easily
done; nowhere else beneath the sapphlr-
can dome of heaven does Cupid, the
Lilliputian gizzard- piercer, come so near
having, like death, all seasons for his
