4 Woman's Question.

Do you know you have asked for the costliest
thing
Ever made by the hand above.
A womans heart and womans lie,
And wOmans wonderful Lover
Do you know you have asked for this priceless
As a child might ask for a toy?
With the reckless dash OF boy.
You have written my lesson Of duty out,
Man-like you have questioned me
Now stand at the bar OF my Nomans soul
Until shall question thee.
You REQUIRE your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be whole;
l require your heart to be true as Gods stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You REQUIRE cook for your mutton and beef;
require far better thing; -,-.,
A seamstress you're wanting for stockings and
things;
/ look for a man and king.
A king for o beautiful realm called home
And a man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the hrst,
And say, 1T is very good"
am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft. young cheek one day
Will you love me then, mid the falling leaves,
AS you did mid the bloom OF May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
may launch My all on its tide? .,
A loving woman finds heaven or he'll
On the day she Is made BRIDE.
Ireouire all things that are grand and true.
f All things that man should be; 49,
If you give this all would stake my lie
To be all You demand OF me-
If you cannot do this-a laundress and cook
You can hire with little TO pay; 49,
But Woman's heart and woman lie
Are not to be won that way;
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
REPLY TO "a woMASs QUESTION"
You say. | have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above,
A womans heart and woman me-
And woman's wonderful love.
That have written your duty out.
And man-like have question free,
You demand that stand at the bar OF your soul
While You in turn question me.
And when ask you to be ny, wife,
The head Of my house and home, .,,.
rbv sbield when sorrow shall come
Won renly with disdain. and a curl Of the lip
And point to my coats missing button,
And heartily ask i | want COOK n,,
TO serve up my beef and my mutton
,Tis king that you look for. Well, am not he,
But only plain, earnest man.
Whose feet often shun the hard path they should
Often shrink from the gulf they should span.
,Tis hard TO believe the rose will fade
From the cheek 80 full, so fair,
Twere harder 10 think that heart proud and
cold
Were ever reflected there.
True the roses will fade and the leaves will fall,
And the autumn OF life will come;
But the heart that give will be true as In May,
Should make il thy shelter, thy home
Thou rsquir'st AL things that are good and
true,
A, things that man asIh should Soi d ss mt
For the rest, I leave II to thee,

A Business Smile.

. Madame de Stael, one of the gentlest the
bravest of the ladies of the Reign of Terror,
speaking of the power of love, said: Love is
born i'm a smile and grows in kiss" How
tender! how enchanting May this fragrant
sentiment be applied nowadays to ordinary
pursuits? May one say. Our project IS
launched upon the sea of hope and grows IN
favor" We may. From every place where
our Export Brescage is known compliments
meet us and expressions of commendation
come to rs verbally and by mail. Surely,
then, our product has great merit and with
the same confidence with which we wrote our
first misssiyo TO the public, IN which we pre-
saged success and almost perfection, so to-day,
reviewing our efforts of a few weeks, we renew
the assurance that our beer is absolutely
pure, and we sereneiy look towards the future
for a full measure of success.
