gave no hint as TO the character of the speecn. A
large audience assembled. The speaker pre-
faced his remarks with the statement that he
had been Republican, originally. then Green

Fortunes Flowers.

All, Moran, yet the grass is wet-tis early
times you're Quit
And, sure, the sun and you, my pet, should
light us turn about,
The birds uncurI, the swallows whirl, you
lead the year astray;
And what's the happy news, my pearl, that
warns your heart todaya
All, can't trace the darling face I've loved
for twenty years.
And don't know the April grace where
smiles just touch the tears?
There's store galore your basket fills of
blossoms golden gay,
But more, ashore, than daffodils you're
bringing home today!
A four-leaved shamrock happy hourl that
promise must come true;
And lucky flower that owns the power to
bring good luck to you!
At others tread it hid its head and crouched
away in fear,
And pushed its four leaves forth instead the
:, moment you drew near.
And what's the boon the omen brings? for
wealth you'd never seek;
And health and bloom were hooking things
to such May day cheek;
A secrets cheap those eyes would keep!-I
know the happy lad
But, OH one lovers rapture deep will leave
a county sad.

There is not moment without somc

The woman who does not love to DO

Make children love you if you wish

Conscience is at most times very
faithful and prudent admonitor.

OF all thieves fools are tho worst;
they rob you Of time and patience.
Industry has annexed thereto tho
fairest fruits and the richest rewards.
We carry all our neighbours crimes in
sight and throw all our own over our
shoulders.
We can forgive freely, if we want to,
but the will to forget is not so much at
our disposal.

One of the best rules in conversation

A FlOnting Theatre.

A ST. Louis party IS having a novel
craft constructed at q Je1fersolville
(Ind.) shipyard. 1t is to be a floating
theatre, and will cost about $50. 900.
The boat is to be built in the shape of a
house, with flat bottom, and is to be
finished up in magnificent style, with
an elegant stage, boxes, and all the be-
longings of a first class theatre. 1t is
the intention Of the proprietor to float
his theatre all along the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers, and to give frst-class dra-
matte and musical entertainments at the
ports in various cities during the sum-
mer months, when all the theatres are
closed. 1t is generally cool of summer
evenings on the river, and the proprie-
tor of this scheme thinks he will be able
to make a good thiag out of it. Tho
craft will be 175 feet long and As feet
wide, and will have seating capacity of

I then got roast joint of beef and

among my old schoolmates for two
hours and went home. The joint was
in the oven. Mother had put on her

too good, either. This is where played

the kitchen watching the roast. Father
was out to the barn, and l had clear
coast. I dumped the sugar out of the
old blue bowl, put the thousand dollars
in it and placed the cover on again. At
last supper was ready. Father asked a
blessing over it and he actually trem-
bled when he stuck his knife in the
roast.
