A COMPROMISE.
BY A. R. WELLS.

Once two little gentlemen, very polite, Stepped up to gate that was narrow-quite. The ono (who was very well bred and thin) Was plainly intending to pass within. The other Remarkably bland and stouD Was just as surely resolved to pass out. Now what could the two little gentlemen do?- But say with bow, After yout' After
 youl" And there they stood lowing, with courteous
 smile, Their hats in their hands. for marvellous
 while; For the thin little man was very well bred, And the stout man had not rude hair in his
 head. But there chanced that way a philosopher
 wise, Who sageiy effected compromises; That each in turn should go through the last Thus might the troublesome gate be passed. So first the courteous gentleman thln, With greatest reluctance passed within. And then the W ell hammered gentleman stout, With polished obeisance made his way out. But sadly turned and went back, that he Might share in the breach of courtesy Then the thin little man stepped out onoe
 more, Contentedly, where he was before. And thus having settled the difficult case, Each walked away with jubilant face.

Courting in the Country.

l NeW Ofk WOfIu.
 Every lad in the country, no matter how lowly his occupation may be or how small the wages he may earn, makes it point to own set of har- ness and buggy. This, anyway, and, if possible, horse. If he can't get a horse, however, it doesn't make so much difference, for he can generally manage to borrow an animal of some sort, either from his employer or some neighboring farmer. These things are absolutely essential to the kind of courting he does, and the only one who doesn't enjoy it is the horse.
 When Saturday afternoon comes around the boys may be found hard at work, with 8 bottle of harness polish, making the horses apparel shine for the regular Sunday turnout. And then bucket of water and a sponge are brought into play, and the buggy is made to look as bright and clean as new. Sunday afternoon everything is in readiness, and decked out in his best suit of clothes, which sometimes fits him, but more often doesn't, he ties 8 piece of bright ribbon on his whip, climbs into the buggy and drives of.
 Maybe he has a friend from some other point stopping with him, and in that case the friend goes along. The latter is taken to some house along the route where there is daughter in the family. She is asked whether she ex- poets any caller or not that evening, and if the answer be in the negative the friend is introduced, and left in care of the girl, who treats him just as if they had been life- long friends, and he in turn does his share towards carrying out the presumption. He takes tea with the family, and then is escorted to the parlor, where he and his new-found acquaintance are left alone to entertain each other as best they see fit.
 In the meantime the buggy owner has driven to his destination. His best girl welcomes him with open arms. A hug, kiss, and how -do- ye-do com- prise the salutatory, and then he goes through the same course as the friend whom he left behind. After tea he goes to the parlor, and he and the ob- ject of his admiration sit and chat to- gether the whole night long. This is fact, and they don't sit as city folks do, either. They huddle together on lounge or sofa, and, clasped in each others arms, sit and coo like pair of turtle doves. No one is there to dis turb or embarrass them. The old folks have gone to bed, and the young sters are alone in their glory. For a time they talk about crops and the weather, and discuss the habits of some mutual acquaintance, and when they have exhausted all subjects on which they find it easy to converse they don't go ahead and talk for the sake of saying something, as the city folks do, but they remain silent, and sit for hours hugging and kissing each other, until the break of day warns the youth that it is time for him to retire. Then he gives his girl a parting kiss and hug, another for good luck, and takes his departure.

You look incredulous, but it's positive fact. You see, my wife used to suffer SO much from functional Arrangements common to her sex, that her spirits and her temper were greatly affected. It was not her fault, of course, but it made home unpleasant all the same. But now, since she has begun to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, she has been so we'll and so happy that we are having our honeymoon all over again."

A Dissolving Island.
Philadelphia Record.

One of the most interesting studies to which ocean navigators have had their attention drawn within the few years has been the rapid disappearance by the action of the sea of Sable is- land, which lies in the direct path of all transatlantic shipping bound to Philadelphia and New York. The branch Photographic office in this city has just been served with notice by the British government that one of the lighthouses that flashes it's rays from the Island for the guidance of sea- going vessels has been under mined, and must be taken down and removed to site further inland. At present the sea threatens to demolish the light and the tower.
 Sable island is situated in latitude forty-three degrees fifty-nine min- utes, longitude fifty-nine degrees forty seven minutes, and when the imperilled lighthouse was erected consisted of tract of low and sandy soil about twenty-five miles in length, upon which no vegetation but a dwarf species of cranberry ever thrived. The steamer "Alert" sailed from Halifax, N. S., recently with men and materials to begin the erec- tion of temporary light on a more sheltered site. This work will be prosecuted with despatch, and by reason of the marvelously quick in- roads that the sea is making it ia not believed that much time will elapse before another removal will be neces- cary.
 From surveys made by an English war vessel few weeks ago it has been learned that within period of seven or eight years the length of the island has been gradually reduced from forty to nineteen and half miles, and that it's width has fallen away from two and a halt to less than one mile. The master of the surveying vessel says that the future of the island is any, thing but cheering for the navigator to contemplate, and should the ocean's ravages continue with their present destructive force, it will not be long before the sea will have clean sweep, and there will not be even a shoal left to mark the spot where once was seen twenty-five miles of clear land.
 With the disappearance of the light every ocean chart now in service will become valueless if not corrected, and life and property will be greatly im- perilled. A recent survey shows that the charts are at least ten miles wrong on the outer portion of the island, and that sand hills represented as being 15O feet high do not exist at all. Other changes in the topography ot the island are believed to have taken place within recent period, of which mariners have no knowledge.
