Old Jones' Philosophy.

Modesty is good rudder but a bad engine.
 Lickin' may teach boy to dance, but not to do suus.
 You may get learnln' at school, but sense comes natural or not at all.
 A runaway hoss is worse'n runa- way wife, because it sometimes takes you with it..
 Don't go back on your friends when you're in luck, nor give away your umberel just because the sun shine.
 You can't always judge man by the blood he's got. Corn bread and whisky come from the same family. - Detroit Free Press.

The Legend of the Ivy.

In village among the German i hills there once dwelt beautiful, {, fair-haired maiden. Her eyes were as blue as the summer sky, and her l lips as ripe as an opening rosebud.
 It is said that this far maid was something of q coquette, and had many lovers. But one seemed more favored than the rest; on him she east her frightened smiles, and promised on some future day to give him her hand Tn holy wedlock, but mot yet" she said. "Give me freedom little longer ' Weeks passed, and the youth becomes jeal- ous of her smiles, urged her to name the day when she would make him forever happy; but with q merry laugh and twinkling eye, she bade him wait. He turned from her with a sigh, and waited. Again he came to her and urged his suit, but the same answer was given. A third time he came, saying, II ask thee now, for the last time, to name the wedding day" She looked at him in surprise and asked, Why sayest thou for the last time?" 'Because l have come to thee many times with the same request, and each time thou hast told me to wait. If still thou tellest me to wait, it will be to wait forever. Thinking he only told her this to frighten her, with toss of her pretty head she re- piled, Then wait forever, kind sir" Her lover, with one long, sad gaze in her sweet face, left her. Never thinking but he would come again and renew his suit, the maiden danced on and was as merry as ever. But days heightened into weeks and he came not. One day news came that her lover had gone off to the holy war, and she knew then that lie would come no more. Bitterly she repented of her folly, but it was too late. In vain the village lads and maids smiled upon her and urged her to join them in their sports, but she needed them not. Remorse and grief were gnawing at her heart. The roses faded from her cheek, her eyes grew dim and her step slow, and when. at last. word came that her lover had fallen in battle, she dropped and died. They buried her in the village churchyard, amid the budding flowers of spring, and there the kind villagers often went to scat ter flowers over her grave, for she had been much loved by them. One day, on coming to her grave, they saw there strange plant growing. It put forth it's tender leaves and long, slender fingers; ever moving onward, it covered the grave till it was d beautiful mound. The villagers watched it with wonder; never be- fore had they seen so strange aplant, and they whispered ouc to another that this strange vine that was ever travelling onward was the maiden's ivy soul going forth to find her lover.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

There is many a rose in the road of life If we may only stop tO take it; And many a tone from the better land, If the qucrulous heart would make it, To the sunny soul that Is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ncer fiileth. The g:'n>s is green and the flowers are bright Though the winter storm preyaileth. Better tn hope, though the clouds hang low, And tO keep the eyes still lifted For the sweet buc sky will still peep through When the ominOus clouds are riftcd. There was never night without day, Or An evening without morniug; And the darkest hour, so the proycrb goes, l. the hour before the dawning. Better to weave in the web of life. A bright and golden filling, And to do Gods will with ready heart, And hand. that are prompt and willing, Than to snap the delicate minute threads, of our curious lives asundcr, And then blame Heaven for tangled ends, And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

A SECRET UNVEILED.

your husband letters until he hands them to you, aud it is much the best not to examine his pockets, except for holes, then set aside whatever you find there without an examination.
 I believe little Mrs. Elliot would give any young wife that advice to- day; but there was a time-we are all fallible, being mortal-when she had been married about two years, 1 that she made herself an amateur de- tective, as far as her Frank went, and had found holes that she could not explain-one that had something in it about Clara particularly. It was only half letter, hut it was sus- picious.
 Naturally jealous, she was too proud to betray the fact intention ally; but there is no keeping q secret of that sort from the servants. They knew her-other people guessed at it.
 Her fancies about Clara-oh, who was Clara made her heart ache :; but rummaging and prying did not help her.
 When her husband was away-as he often was-she suffered tortures. He might, for all she knew, be lead ing a double life, and SO she steamed all his letters open before she for warded them, and now and then found something that might mean more than it said, and so we come to an afternoon when she-Mrs. Elliot -came downstairs dressed for din- ner, for winch she always made a careful toilet, and met the waitress ascending to the upper floor. The girls place at that moment was in the dining-room, and Mrs. Elliot knew that nothing was needed or for gotten that pertained to the dinner ; moreover, the girl had an air of se crecv about her, and seemed to be hiding something under her apron
 "What's that you have there, Rosa?" Mrs. Elliott asked little sharply.
 The girl stopped, looked down, and answered.:
 "Only letter, a'am.''
 For yourself?" asked Mrs, Elliot.
 No, ma am; for master" said the girl.
 "Well, give it to me" said Mrs. Elliot.
 The girl hesitated.
 "Indeed, ma am, the lady said give it himself," said Rosa.
 "A lady? A beggar with peti- tion, l suppose, said Mrs. Elliot.
 "A lady, ma am, and she's gone, v said the girl, "She wore blue vail ; but never saw her before, I'm sure. V
 "Oh, very well" replied her mis- tress. "Give me the note, Mir. Elhot is shaving, and would not wish to be disturbed"
 The girl gave little impertinent toss to her head as she obeyed, and nounced downstairs in a way that made her mistress resolve to give her warning.
 The trouble was that the lady in the blue vail had given Rosa some money-had whispered, "Mr. Elliot, and no one else," and hurried away in suspicious manner.
 Mrs. Elliot meanwhile stood turn ing the envelope over. The address was merely her husbands name Mir. Elliot-and the edge of the Hap was still damp, as if sealed at the door. It would open at touch she could read it and know its con tents if she chose.
 "I do choose" she said the next moment, and the edge of the envel- ope rolled back and a slip of paper fell out. On it were written these words:
 DEAR FRANK: Meet me at the usual place if you can dodge your wife. CLARA
 A moment more and the letter was re-sealed, and Mrs. Elliott, trembling with anger, stood leaning against the window frame. She felt that the
