THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR.
JOIN GERALD BRENNAN.

My grandmother sat in the old rocking
chair
(But she was not my grandmother them,
And her pert little face was bewitchingly
fair,
AS sne laughed defiance to men.
Her sun bonnet tutter'd like bird on its
string,
Her hair wandered free in the breeze;
And gayly l ween din my grandmother
sing
Underneath those old gnarl'd apple trees
My grandfather rode through the white
orchard gate,
And tethered his roam TO a tree;
He'd a we'll powdered wig on his silly
young pate,
And high tassel'd boots TO his knee;
From the pink apple blossoms that over
him hung
He brush'd off the dew with his hat,
Till he came TO the place where the rocking
chair swung,
And my merry young grandmother sat.
THE kingcup aud daisy bloomed round in
their pride,
And bees of their sweetness did sip;
Butmy grandfather blush'd and my grand
father sigh'd,
AS he licked off their heads with his
whip.
My granny she hummed her a cunning old
soRg-
"Faint heart never won ladye fair"
So he wooed and he prayed, and before
very long
There sat two in that Old rocking chair

A Quick CourtShip.

Jacob Strawn of Jacksonville, Ill. =,
was during his lifetime the largest
farmer in Illinois and a very eccentric
man. The circumstances of his mar
riage were as follows:
Outside of Jacksonville, couple OF
miles, perhaps, there lived quite a
respectable family. This family en-
ployed servant girl. Graceful and
neat in the extreme, and possessing a
very fair share of intelligence, this
girl was a match for whatsoever might
take her unto himself. Jacob saw this
flower and determined to possess it.
One day he rode up TO the door of the
residence of the fair maid, a!ighted
from his horse and knocked with the
butt end of his whip. The lady of the
house came and answered his sum-
mons, and Immediately upon her max
ing her appearance, Jacob asked for
the servant girl.
The servant girl came. Jacob said:
IL want wife, and have picked
you out as the most proper person for
that position can possibly find. I've
never spoken to you before, but then
that makes no difference. I'll give
you one week to decide. "
The girl blushed and was dumb
founded, Jacob mounted his horse and
rode away. The girl inquired into
Mr.. Strawn's character and standing,
and was advised by those with whom
she lived to accept the offer of his
hand. Punctually, a week later,
Jacob rode up to the door, and knock
ed again with his whip, and asked
"Is it yes or notP"
Bushing, the girl answered in q
low tone, but quite distinctly:
"Yes."
"Well," said Jacob, "les's see; we'll
get married the day after tomorrow,
Wednesday. Here's some money to
get wedding outfit" and he threw
her purse containing $1,000.
The couple did get married on We'd
nesday, and no happier couple during
their lifetime, was to be met with in
the state of Illinois.

Young Chinese OarswOmen.

/ visited prisons, temples, pagodas,
mills, shops, duck-hatchings, and
everything that was Of interest, says a
Canton letter. To see the ducks ]
hired boat managed by three women,
and spent over three hours on the
river. have had occasion TO remark
everywhere in my travels the decent
behavior of women. One hardly ex-
poets much in country where little
girl babies are sometimes killed or
sold into any kind OF slavery because
of the poverty of the mother. Here
were three women who were born on a
boat and whose whole life is spent on
one, and yet they had as much decency
and natural modesty as II they had re-
ceived Sunday school education. A
fine, strong girl of IL sat on the deck
of the bow vigorously pulling her oar
in front OF me and smiling through a
beautiful set OF teeth. She wore wide
trousers under a kind OF sack or short
gown; her feet were bare. Every
time breath OF air ruffled her sack
or trousers she instinctively pulled
them down just as a well-bred Ameri-
can girl would her frock, though there
were not any more exposure than a
we'll formed ankle. Most OF the large
junks, learned, had women captains.
