a CHOICE OF TWO BLESSINGS.

OF tell me which is best to wed,
The girl who goes to college,
And stuffs her nervous little head,
Like sausages, with knowledge.
Or one Of the domestic kind
Who has no higher mission
Than making of o home designed
To better mans condition?
It's known that females with an aim
Abhor housekeeping ever,
And, # Obliged to do tho same.
Arc any thing but clever.
While those who are not built SO SMART
Enjoy homes sweet beauties,
n with a gentle, loving heart
Do skiiifully Its duties
Were we a Mormon VI might try
Both OF these wifely treasures.
And SO combine no end OF pie
With intellectual pleasures
But as we're not We fain must seek
Tho girl who best is able
To I'll our needs. What good is Greek
When empty is the table?
A doubie-headed girl might solve
The question, could we find her,
One Of her heads could then evolve
The s~cienee-sure 10 blind her;
The other head (the one we'd kiss)
Could settle down to cooking
Ali that combine would give the bltsa
For which all men are looking.

BUCOLic SIMPLICITY.

A Good Woman Who Didn't Mind q Little
Thing Like q Mouse.
The primitive ways of bucolic simplicity
sometimes run against the refined tastes Of
city-bred humanity, says the Washington
Post. A couple of gentlemen were travel
ing through Pike County, Ind, recently,
and stopped at q farmhouse for dinner.
They got about what they expected-bacon
and potatoes, soggy salt risin' bread and
black chickory coffee.
"Wil We hev long or short s~weetenin'a'
asked the mistress of the first stranger.
He didn't know just what he was setting
himself in for, but ventured a preference
for long s~weetening. His hostess dipped a
long, grimy foreinger into a pan of thick,
gummy sorghum sirup, withdrew it with
its sticky burden, thrust it into the coffee
cup stirring it until dissolved, and passed
over the decoction. The second stranger
promptly expressed his desire for coffee
without any sweetening at all.
When Principal B. T. Janney was cam
paigning in Virginia twenty-odd years age
he stopped at a farm house and asked for q
glass of milk. An old woman brought out
a pan thick with cream, which she sat on
the table. A peculiar bump was visible In
the center of the pan, under the cream,
The Old lady peered at 1t through her spec
tacles.
"'Nother of them pesky mice,'t she ex.
claimed. She reached in and drew the vic.
tim from his milky grave by the tail. Hold
ing it above the pan with one hand she took
the finger and thumb of the other and
stripped" it OF its coating of cream. Mr..
Janney was brought up among the London
Quakers, and his belief In a cleanliness tina,
is next to godliness was deep rooted. He
changed his order to water at once.
"Why, ye.don't mind o little thing like
that, do yea" asked the lady. "My folks

ly by.
Then see the Dawn, like some pale mourner,
creep
Down 10 the bier where Darkness droops tc
die;
While our worn body, as though It were dead,
Seems severed from the restless heart and
brain,
And by the hand OF mournful Memory led
We live IN thought our whole life o'er again
This Is a thing we hold in dread and fear
Through all the brightness OF the busy day,
As II we'd shun the Past 10 hold more dear
The Present, or the Futures unknown way.
We shrink as tides of recollection break
Like a wild tempest DER our worid-Worn
heart
When through the day night-watch thoughts
re-awake,
And in the living Now the dead Past plays its
part.
We fear the haunting sorrow, and the shame
Felt al the helpless facing Of fault
In some fond friendship, now an empty name,
Since it has found a grave in Doubrs grim
vault.
We dread the meeting with Love long lost
A Love our captive once in bonds OF Pride,
But freed at last though at the cruel cost
OF wandering homeless till it dropped and
died
It is a tale of good with evil knit
Vain deeds, blind folly to small wisdom wed
That Memory's hand in such plain words has
writ
Among the shadows round our sleepless bed
Thought after thought, each like sword
thrust seems:
"Regret! RepentT' Hard words, we mark
them all;
Then happier fancies; then the world Of
dreams;
And 10! the watchers weary eyelids fall
Night, that brings hours of weary wakeful-
ness,
Comes ike curse save to our meekest
mood;
But some shall live those sleepless hours to
bless
wherein past faults plead for our future
good
Some day our bodies shall have plenteous
sleep
Ending all taking thought for this life's sake;
Therefore watch well souls who earth's Vigils
keep,
Lest in Deaths night ye fail to like awake!
