With the all-absorbing sun;
Told that shall slowly burn out,
As my own fair moon has done;
Warned of coming conhagrations
That will seize me unaware

After what / daily bear?
Pelted constantly with hailstones.
Fiercely shook by hurricanes,
Thrown by whirlwinds topsy-turvy,
Nearly drowned by constant rains-
Growled at day and night by thander,
Pierced by lightning everywhere,
Nipped with froSts until scarcely
Know if 1 am round OF square.
Out ell night in freezing weather,
Under tropic suns all day,
Dug and struck with plows and shovels
Scratched with harrows every way,
Beaten down for streets and highways,
Galloped over day and night,
With steam engines. burned and scaided
Kept in a continual fright.
Deeper wounds than these suffer
am mined and bored and hit,
Torn by dynamite and powder,
Blown TO pieces bit by bit,
I've seen comets without number,
And they always keep their sphere

Restless, curious man, fear.

Blown away like any feather,
Yet have one consolation

He'll Do.

In the autumn of 1890 a travelling
book peddler, who afterward became
. successful publisher and the head
of firm whose name is well known
in the United States to-day, came to
the door of log cabin on q farm in
eastern Illinois, and asked for the
courtesy ofa nights lodging. There
was no i'm near. The good wife
was hospitable but perplexed, "for." !"
said she, I'VE can feed your beast.
but we cannot lodge you, unless you
are willing TO sleep with the hired
man.
Lets have look at him first, y
said the peddler.
The woman pointed to the side OF
the house. where q lank, six foot man
in ragged but clean clothes, was
stretched on the grass reading a
book.
"He1l do" said the stranger. "A
man who reads book a. hard as
that fellow seems to, has got too
much else to think of beside my
watch or small change"
The hired man was Abraham Lin
coin; and when he was President
the two men met in Washington and
laughed together over tie story Of
their early reneontre-

The Girl that Everybody Likes.

Girls, You needn't be beautiful to
become general favorites. The plain
est girl ever saw was the favorite
in my native town. Everybody lik-
ed her. Beautiful o no, she is
not beautiful-that is outside. but
inside she 10 an angel. Nobody
thinks Of calling her beautiful. Not
one of q dozen can tell whether her
eyes are black or blue. If you
should ask them to describe her
they would only saw: She is just
right" and there it would end. She
is a merry, fun-loving bewiteh-
ing maiden, without a spark of en-
w or malice in her whole compost
ton. She enjoys herself, and wants
everybody else to do the same. She
has always kind word and pleas

man in fact, | can think of nothing
she resembles more than sunbeam,
which brightens everything it comes

who lives in a mansion on the hill,
to negro Sam, the sweep. All look
after her with an admiring eve and
say to themselves: "She is Just the
right sort ofa girl !" The young men
of the town vie with each other as
to who shall show her the most at
tention but she never encourages
them beyond being simply kind and
jolly, so no one can call her fiirt;
no indeed, the young men all deny
such an assertion as quickly as she.
Do girls love her, too ?"
Yes, wonderful to relate, girls like
her. too; for she never delights in
hurting their feelings or saying spite
full things behind their backs. She
is always willing to join in their lit
tie plans or assist them in any way.
They go to her with their love az
fairs. and she manages adroitly to
see Willie or Charlie and drop a
good word for Ida or Jennie until
their little difficulties are all patch
ed up and everything goes along
smoothly. thanks to her. Old ladies
say she is delightful" The sly
witch, she knows how to manage
them. She listens patiently to COM
plants of rheumatism or neuralgia,
and then sympathizes with them 80
heartily that they are more than
nalf cured. But she cannot always |
be with us.
Then she finally gets married ?"
Yes. A young man comes from a
leighborinp town after a while and
narries her. The villagers crowd
around to tell him what a prize be
has won, but be seems TO know pret-
y well without any telling. TO Judge

Didn't " art TO wrestie.

Reuben Doolittle was well known
as the strongest man in Connecticut
and a remarkable wrestler. Men
came from distances to throw him,
but all failed. Once a stranger ar
rived at Reuben's on this errand.
Reuben asked him to stay all night,
promising to wrestle in the morn
ing. Both were up betimes, and
the stranger was invited to go out
ty the barn and have a drink of ei-
der. At the barn Reuben seized a
large barrel of cider, and, with ap-
parent ease, lifted it and drank from
the bung hole. "Now," said he, as he
put down the barrel and wiped his
mouth, well have some breakfast,
and then well wrestle.n The stran-
