PATHWAY THROUGH THE WOODS

Twas only little pathway
Bordered with marigolds sweet,
With the green leaves overarching
The marks OF unfrequent feet.
The golden tints of the autumn
Brought one OF my saddest moods
AS took that lonely pathway
Trough the solemn, silent woods.
Chirp, chirp, said the wee brown songster
AS he hoped from limb TO limb,
Stealing one look et the stranger
Tken seeking the shadows dim.
Anon, sound that was sweeter
With fairy like interludes
Came over my soul like ether
And dcharmed that path through the woods
Thereafter there came vision
AS bright as tabled fay,
a maiden Of wondrous beauty
Stood right in my narrow way.
She blushed, and twilight grew rosy
Down through the soft solitudes.
bad met my fate and knew it,
In the pathway through the woods
Many happy years have blessed mo
Since that quiet cleaning hour
And to-day, beside my home hearth,
dote on that woodland flower.
There is sunshine In her presence,
No matter what care intrudes.
And dear for her sake, forever,
is that pathway through the woods.

Partisan Gentleman.

One of the Peculiar Vagaries of an Erratio
Partisan Gentleman.
A curious scene was witnessed in q
well-known restaurant near the Halles
at an early hour on Thursday morning.
"A gentleman, who said his name was
Adalbert, and is reported to belong to
good family, invited two men whom he
met on the street to supper. They supped
in most luxurious manner, consuming
several bottles of champagne. At last
Adalbert knocked on the table with mis-
stick and shouted; Bring the bill
Quick! am Louis XIV, don't like to
be kept waiting" The proprietor
brought the reckoning, which amounted
to eS, and the representative Of Louis
XIV. tossed it to his companions, re-
marking; PAY that If you likei As
for me, / have only got Is Sd
in my pocket, and intend to
keep it therer' "But, expostulated bis
companions, 'ft was you who invited
us to supperl" ''Very likely" was the
reply; 81 invited you to supper, and you
have supped; now invite you to pay,
therefore payl That's my character"
| The result of the alteration was that
all three were taken before NJ. Lejeune,
inspector of police, who soon found oat
that the gentleman calling himself
Adalbert was in reality lunatic, and
had already been in St Anne's asylum
for mental vagaries Of similar kind.
He was sent to the infrmary of the
central police station for further in
quiry into the state OF his mind. The
other men were liberated on promising
to pay sthe landlord wnen they had
money enough. - Paris Cor. London

"What star is that?" inquired the
raw-boned stranger, halting at the street
corner.
"That amt star" said the fakir with
a telescope. THAT is planet"
Him! What planet is it?"
'That, sir, is Jupiter. "
"It's Jupiter, is it? How do you know
It's Jupiter?"
"Why everybody knows that planet is
Jupiter"
"But how do you know it?"
"Know it by its belts"
"Hain't any other planetgot belts?"
POSSIBLY some of them have. In the
remotest depths of space there may be
myriads of worlds that the telescope
has not revealed to us, and some of them
may have belts like this one."
That's what thought Do you spose
Jupiter is inhabited?"
"Some persons think it is, and some
say it has not yet cooled off suffi,
ciently for human beings to live upon
it."
"Do you think it's likely that the poo
pie who live on it, if there are any, call
1t Jupiter?"
sob, no; it isn't at all likely"

looking at IL through that thingP"
"Only five cents"
''Five cents, hey? You want five cents
for squirting about ten seconds at a
planet you call Jupiter because every
body else calls it Jupiter, and because
it's got belts, when you say yourself il

you acknowledge the people on it don't

he ninth, interior tract, which be-
longed TO the state, ana the produce OF

The system succeeded to a marvel.
Each tenant was proprietor of about fif-
teen acres, the whole product of which
belonged to him, while the state was
really proprietor of the whole, and had,
as landlord, the income of the ninth
tract. Resides this, each farmer had
some $3.50 square metres of ground for
his tarm-yard and his mulberry trees.
Thus he always enjoyed a surplus Of
provision. of pork and poultry for food,
and silk for clothing. No one at this

but complete social equality existed,

HOW THEY WE'RE MARRIED.

My dolly was going to be married.
Twas such an exciting day
And all the dolls were invited,
From near and far away.
She had as fine an outfit
AS ever doll could show;
We played that it came from Paris
Like Sister Nell's, you know.
Tho groom was gallant sailor
In suit of white and blue,
His name was Ralph Augustus,
And the doll-brde's name was Sue.
The bride was dressed In satin.
All trimmed with flowers and lace;I
And every one said she was charming,
And had such lovely facet
Pray, how do you think they were mar
ried?
Twas simple as simple could bell
They both jumped over broomstick,
And then they were married, you see.
