Romance in High Life.

He was young, he was fair, and he
parted his hair like the average beau,
IN the middle; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be told, he
played like fend on the fiddle
Barring this vice, he was everything
nice, and his heart was so loving and
tender that he always turned pale
when he tread on the tail of cat
lying down by the fender. He
clerked in a store, and the way he
tore off calico, jeans aud brown
sheeting, would have t.ckled calf
and made the brute laugh IN the face
of a quarterly meeting. He cut
quite dash with darling mous>
tache, which he learned to adore and
cherish; for one girl had said, while
she, dropped her proud head, 'rwould
kill her to see the thing perish. On
Sundays he'd search the straight
road to church, unheeding the voice
Of the scorner; and demurely he sat,
like a young tabby cat, with the
saints III the amen corner. He SAM
| like bird and his sweet voice was
heard fairly tugging away at long
metre; and we speak bat the truth
when we say that this youth could
outsing a hungry misqnIto.
She was young, she was fair, and
she scrambled her hair, like the ay'
erage belle of the city; she was
proud but not bold, yet the truth
must be told the way she
chewed wax was pity. Barring
this wee, she was everything nice,
and the world admired her hustle;
and the lIookrum boys being
charmed by the noise, walked miles
to hear the thing rustic, She cut
quite a swell, did this wax chewing
belle, and men hocked in crowds to
meet her; but she gave them the
shlrk, for she loved the young clerk,
who sung like a hungry mesquite
So she hemmed and she hawed, and
she sighed and she ''chawed," TILL her
heart and her jaws were broken; then
She walked by the store, while he
stood AT the door awaiting some low
rg token. She raised up her eyes
with angry surprise, and tried to en-
act the scorner; but to tell the truth,
she grinned at the youth who loved
the amen corner.
They met 7alas! what came to
pass was soft and sweet and pre-
cious; they wooed, they cooed, he
talked, she chewcd- oh, how they
loved, good graoiouSl They had to
part, he rose to start; her grief cam
not be painted; these are facts, she
swallowed her way, then screamed,
then choked, then tainted. Her pa
appeared, her beau quite scared
rushed to get some water; the watch :
dog spied his tender hide and bit
him where he "oughter." The tale
is sad, the sequel stern-so thinks
the youth thus bitten. lie sighs no
more as of yorev he gave the girl
the mittten.
She pined apace, her pretty face
looked slender and detected; her fa>
.her kind, but somewhat blind, be-
held her and reflected. His income
tax was spent for wax -rshe smiled
and called him clever; she went to
work, forgot that clerk, and chawed
in bliss forever

The inside pages Of the RECORD
are exceptionally interesting this
week. Besides the excellent sermon
by MIR. Talmage on the subject of
"Crooked Things" we have nearly a
page of politics just as true as the
gospel facts offered by the great
preacher. The contents of these in
side pages are of our own choosing,
not haphazzard filing, as the would~
be critic might suppose. We call
attention to these things in order
to impress certain parties that we
are managing and editing this paper
to suit ourselves, in our own peculiar
way, without a dictator or editorial
assistant, and expect to so continue
until the sheriff steps in and takes
possession which time we trust is in
the very, very dim future.

the grOOm's father. The church was
neatly decorated and was crowded to
its utmost capacity, o large number OF
visiting friends and relatives from a
distance being among the guests.
The presents were numerous and
valuable, including plated spoons, ia
beware, a set of nut crackers and
picks, and neat porcelain teapot.
After the ceremony very elaborate
lunch was spread at the home CT the
brides parents, and most enjoyable
time was spent.
One drawback, and the only one
there was to the whole affair, viz: That
Rev. and Mrs. Wilson had 80 soon to
make hasty preparations for the train,
and that their trip was to be long
one, and the farewell was not for a
short and happy honeymoon, but a
last farewell for years, as il Is their
purpose to continue their journey to
Santiago, Chilli, and there they enter
on missionary work for eight years.
Weather, and the old time showers
of rice were everything that the most
even might wish.
