A good story is going the rounds about
a certain married man on Pleasant street.
He got up one morning in a terrible
hurry, rushed around frantically, built 4
fire, decided that he wouldn't have time
to wait for breakfast, had his wife make
him a cup of coffee-all he could take
time for-swallowed the coffee, put on
his o%vercoat, said good morning to his
wife, looked at the clock, found it was
half past 2 a. m, and went back to bed.

WHICH SHALL IT BEL

Yes; It Is true l have lovers three
DO you wonder I'm in q quRndaryf
For which to chose It Is hard to tell
When L love them each and all 50 well
The first bears In his handsome face
His passport TO a woman grace.
His eyes are luminous gold gray mist
His cheeks are roses the winds have kissed;
And shimmering CLEANS of sunlight thread
The wealth OF curls on his shapely head.
And when his love impassioned he tells,
My heart with a love responsive swella
To his fervent pleading cannot say
A cool. decisive, unfaltering Nay"
The second Is dark, and grand, and grave:
Night shadows among his tresses wave.
In his great, deep eyes would seem to be
Visions more than mere mortals see.
HIS simple Il love you" is eloquent
OF wells Of affection all uppent
And she who is queen OF his steadfast heart
May be sure of her reign until death shall
part"
The third-ah, the story poets have told
OF hair like a crown Of FURNISHED gold;
OF eyes that rival the sapphire's hue,
And that dance like waves Of the ocean blue.
or the dimples that play at hide and seek
In rounded chin and In either cheek:
While the mischief that turks In every glancs
Makes havoc with hearts like Cupid's lance.
He never has told of his love for me,
But 1 am as sure OF it as can be.
Notwithstanding all this, 1t Is often said
That | will doubtless be an ''old maid"
And yet, perhaps, | must own the taunt.

Some OF Them, nt Least, Have Ac-
qutred Competence.

From ne Bost0H ldcertlsCr.
This column contained n statement
recently, imputed to Edward Eggleston,
that there is no American author who
receives an income from his writings.
The statement at the time seemed pre-
pos,erous. for as shown in this column,
there are many American writers who
make excellent incomes from their writ
ings. Mr. Eggleson now rises to eX
plain, and alter roundly abusing the
newspaper men for their lack of brains,
precision and mental training goes on
to say that what he really did say WINS
thot "he did not know any author who
has acquired competence by literary
work, properly socalled."
This is certainly quito modification
of the statement az first quoted, but
even this is not correct. "Mr Long
fellow was a professor" he says, land
made good investments" But Mr..
Longfellow continued to write for years
after he ceased to occupy chair at
Harvard College, and what property he
left was mainly acquired through his
copyrights. Mr.. Whittier has certainly
acquired what is for him u competence,
and by his pen alone. lie lives the life
of quiet, elegant country gentleman,
has all he needs, and gives much in
charity.
MY Howells," " says Mr.. Eggleston,
"has had, let us hope, a liberal editorial
salary" But before Mr.. Howells made
his present arrangement with Harper
Brothers he had acquired. by his writ
ings sufficient competency to enable
him to own and occupy mansion "Un
the water side of Beacon street" Mrs.
Stowe has certainly acquired com
Portable competence with her pen. Gen.
eral Wallace is popularly believed to
have made something from the sale OF
more than 800, 600 copies of "Ben Hur,
besides the income from from his other
books, although, perhaps, Mr.. Egglestor
would wish to plead General Wallace's
salary as Minister to Turkey. To be
sure, Mr.. Eggleston's general proposi
tion is correct, that letters are more
poorly paid than the other learned pro
fessions; but yet his statement is still
