How the Girl Proposed

They were sitting together in the
warm parlor, saying little but think
ing much. But lovers do not need
to say much to be companionable.
The little clock on the mantel for
a considerable time had been the only
speaker. Its tick, tick, tick, seemed
to the youth to say kiss her, kiss her,
kiss her. To the maiden it said leap
year, leap year, and its reiteration of
this phase moved her to break the
silence.
"How funny some people are"
she said.
"Funny"
eyes, some people who are going
to be married."
"Oh! !"
"Yes; some want to be married in

"What is their object, wonder?"
"Marriage, Of course"
"But / mean the object OF their
getting married out of the usual way"
"Well, | will tell you what l think.
They get married in this way SO they
can tell their children and grand
children they were married under
such peculiar circumstances, as, for
instance, 'your mother and me, chill
dren, were married in a coal mine,'
or, 'your grandmother and me, chll-
dren, were married in a balloon "
"I'H bet that's just the reason"
said the maiden.
"Of course it's the reason"
There was pause Then the
maiden with a glowing cheek said
"Fve been thinking, John"
"Yes r. he said interrogatively.
"Fve been thinking how funny it |
would be" Ga pause and a deeper
blush).
"Well, Bell, you have been think
ing whatY'
"Fve been thinking how funny il .

"Yes."
"If, when the subject of marriage .
comes up thirty or forty years hence,
you could point to me and say, why, /
children, your grandmother proposed /
to me on leap year, and we were
married a few weeks after"
John is very busy these days fur
nishing nice little cottage, and Bell
is experimenting the making Of her
wedding dress.

MY Unc1e's Will.

The world is fresh and fair to-day,
All paltry cares and troubles flee me;
The folks I meet upon my way
Seem absolutely charmed to see me.

And yet owe him quite bill.
Oh, cunning chap; say, can he know
I'm mentioned III my uncle's will?

Who parted from me last in passion,
Now begs that shall recommend
His fits unto the world of fashion.
His choicest goods he bids me choose,

No doubt he's heard the latest news,
I'm mentioned in my uncle's WILL
Old Moneybags, who wines and dimes
Successful people constantly,
Now like the sun all brightly shines
Upon an humble chap like me.
How cordially he grasps my hands,
Until my startled pulses thrill,
Time-serving snob, he understands
I'm mentioned in my uncle's will.
The minister, but yesterday,
Rebuked me as a goddess sinner,
But now in torgiying way
Invites me to simple dinner.
"Your Christian zeal delights me, sir,''
He cries in tones no longer chill,
Some one has told him, 1 infer,
Pm mentioned in my uncle's will.
Miss Pride, from whom 1 oft received
Full many u slight, and sneer and frown,
Protests, say, can it be believed,
That Pm the brightest man IN town?
Her dear mamma, so rarely stirred
The sweets of compliments to spill,
Makes honeyed speeches; ah she's heard
I'm mentioned in my unce's will.
Away, ye social shams, away,
Nor swing the censers of your praise,
l have a homespun love to-day
Whose guileless heart each blush betrays;
She meets me now, alas! how cold.
Her smile, that loving voice how chill,
She only snubs me when she's told
Pm mentioned in my unce's will.

Give to earth the tender care.

Flowery pillow of repose,-

Let the shining ones receive her,
With the welcome-voiced psalm,
Harp of gold and waving palm!
All is light and peace with Eva;
There the darkness cometh never;
Tears are wiped, and fetters fall
And the Lord is all in all.
Weep no more for happy Eva,
Wrong and sin no more shall grieve her
Care and pain and WEAKNESS
Lost in love so measureless.

raised the Macedonian cry, and Rev. BaIlon
responded promptly, and, as usual, the
preaching was the regular compound of gas,
wind, fog, moonshine, raw potatoes, saw
dust, dry sheep dung and hell-fire." Any
man.that will so condescend from truth and
all moral laws and fish up from the sewers
of lnfamy such slanderous lies justly merits
the unhesitating condemnation of all law
abiding and order-loving citizens. The Rev.
gentleman just casually came out here on a
visit to DR.. Purkers, and { suppose at
the solicitation of the Doctor and a few
others consented to preach; but what had
the meeting to do with Calahan's business?
The people of Camp Ground are just as adj

Hon. VIM. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
made point in the tariff discussion in
the House some days ago, which it will
be difficult for the advocates of the
monopoly tariff to answer. 1t is GUS
tomary with them to maintain that
the protective system is intended for
the benefit of labor. One of their lead
ing arguments in favor of high tariff
Is that it increases the wages of the
working people. II this is so Mr.Scott
the average PERCENTAGE paid labor to
the cost of the article produced was in
1850, in this country, 1913 per cent, the
census showed that i'm 1860 it had fall
len to 2l.2 per cent, and in 1870 to Is
per cent, and in 1880 10 17.8 per cent.
1t is thus shown by the census tables
that under the Walker tariff the
Democratic tariff of 1S46-this per cent
age was the highest and that it de-
creased as the rate of protective duties
increased. In contrast with this de-
cline MIR. Scott showed that during
these thirty years the average amount
labor receives to the value of the article
produced has increased in Europe, and
that it is to-day in England from so to
80 per cent. as compared with us per
cent. in this country.
In view of these facts the advocates
the the war-tariff are requested to ex-
plain why it is that the American
wage-worker's percentage of earnings
to the value of articles produced has
steadily deprecated while the prices OF
are higher in this country than in any
other country in the world, and who is
it that is receiving the difference in
cost and labor?
