AUCTTONING OFF THE BABY.


w ldl hlI1 OHeftd IOT DdDy
Dainty, dimpled and sweet
From the curls above her forehead.
TO the beautiful rosy feet,
From the tips of the wee pink fingers
To the light of the clear brown eye.
What am offered for babys
Who'll buy 2 who'll buyi who'll buyl
What am offered for baby!
"A shopful ofsweetsln All, mo-
That's too much beneath his value
Who is sweetest of all below
The naughty, beautiful darling:
One kiss from her rosy mouth
Is better than all the dainties
OF east, or west, or south!
What am ] offered for baby'
"a pile of gold:" All dear,
Your gold is too hard and heavy
To purchase my brightness here.
Would the treasures of all the mountain
Far in the wonderful lands
Be worth the clinging and clasping
OF these dear little peach-bloom hands
So what am l offered for babys
"a rope of diamonds!n Nay,
II your brilliants were larger and brighte
Than stars in the milky way,
Would they ever be half so precious
As the light of those lustrous eyes,
Still full of the heavenly glory
They brought from beyond the skiesl
Then what am | offered for baby!
"A heart full of love and kiss"
Well, if anything ever could tempt me,
'Twould be such an offer as this!
But how can know if your loving
Is tender, and true, and divine
Enough to repay what I'm giving
In selling this sweetheart of minei
So we will not sell the baby
Your gold and gems and stuff,
Were they ever SO rare and precious,
Would never be half enough!
For what would we care, my dearie,
What glory the world put on,
If our beautiful darling were going,
If our beautiful darling were gone'

Dear Sir:I visited your Sanitarium

ably impressed with the excellence Of the
building and improvements, and the
springs. From information derived frot
citizens who had long known the medicinal
virtues Of the springs, think they possess
excellent curative properties From
personal experience in my own case, i'm
drinking the waters there, and since, /
know It - be most excellent drinking
water. / have used the Bethesda Spring
water, and am fully as well pleased with
the water from Zen0bia's Fountain Spring
which | am now using, as with bethesda.
] can commend it as a most palatable and
wholesome drinking water, and believe it
will give satisfactory results to many who
may use it. Respectfully yours,
PETER BFRgKY.

The Maiden's Petition.

In the records of the Office of the Sec
rotary of State is the following petition,
bearing date 1888, addressed to the
Governor of South Carolina and signed
by sixteen maidens:
The HUMBLE PETITION OF ALL THE
MAIDS WHOSE NAMES ARE UNDER
WRITTEN: Whereas we, the humble Pc
titioners, are at present in very mel
ancholy condition of mind, consider
ing how all the bachelors are blindly
captured by widows, and we are there
by neglected. In consequence OF this
our request is that your Excellency
will, for the future, order that no wild
ow presume to marry any young man
till the maids are provided for, or else
to pay each of them fine for satisfac-
ton Of invading our liberties, and like
wise a fine to be levied on all the bach
elors as shall be married to widows.
The great disadvantage it is to us maids
Is that the widows, by their forward
carriage, do snap up the young men
and have the vanity to think their mer-
it beyond ours, which is a great impo-
sition to us, who ought to have the
preference. This is humbly recon-
mended to your Excellency's consider
alton, and we hope you will permit no
further insults. And we poor maids,
in duty bound, will ever pray, etc.

MR.. FLAHERTY OBJECTS.

Last Sunday, while attending SER
vices at the Catholic church, was
made the object of very. bitter and
surprisingly unfair attack at the
hands of Rev. Francis Watry. To
remain silent under such circum-
stances would be to admit that my
principles are untenable, or that I am
incapable of defending them. 1t is
certainly unpleasant to dis
sent from the opinion of my spiritual
superior, even on matters of q general
character, but it is scarcely equal to
the ignominy of submitting to an
unjust chastIsement. When he con-
dennis certain literary works, and
denounces me for reading them, I feel
it due to myself to tell him plainly
he il mistaken. and to show him
wherein he errs. Indeed, it must be
gratifying to those who read nothing,
or very little, to be assured that
class of books for which they have no
taste, and in all probability would
never open, are injurious. The de-
nunciation OF those sins we have
never committed and have no temp
tation to commit, can not be too
strong, and Ignorance is always will

The Future Newspaper.

A few hundred years, says a writer
in the Portland Transcript, make fu-
ture beyond all comprehension; We
have no idea of the possibilities, except
by contrasting with past and present,
A newspaper of one hundred years age
is a curiosity of more value than thous-
and-of-years-old pottery and bric-a-
brac. Why? Because it gives true
history of the time when published, re-
lates to facts that would be otherwise
unknown, touches facts beneath the his
torian's notice, yet of real interest to
the people of to-day.
Take one years file of any metropol-
itan daily of 1884 one hundred years
from now, and you will have a history
of the world beyond comparison. No
historian would dare compete with the
simple newspaper bought anywhere for
z or cents, worth to future genera
tons sums not to be covered by money;
in fact, beyond value. All this has come
about in a hundred years. Now add
few hundred years to the progress of
the newspaper and what will be the
1. Every town will have a paper Of
its own.
2. Type will be set by machinery,
with the rapidity of electricity.
3. Every paper will contain direc-
tory of every soul in town, giving full
Rame, age, description, weight, bust
ness; directly below these facts space
will be left, and daily the varied move
ments of individuals will be given; no
matter how simple the fact, it will ap-
pear, and make diary every day, such
as many privately keep at present.
4. A list of births, deaths, and mar
Fiages will appear, including the whole
world.
5. The paper will be bulky. but not
disagreeably so; table of contents
will readily put the reader in the right |
track, and book-form of about size of |
Transcript will make an easily-handled |
paper which will be sufficiently stiff to
hold easily. No event will be too small
to appear; all business, pleasure, sor-
row, will be depicted in concise and ap-
form. AS a reference, the
paper of the future will equal an ency-
clopedia of to-day.
