Too Soon and Too Late.
Oft. when but an unbearded swain,
Or eer a maid had kissed me,
At me shot Capid, not in vain,
For scarce an arrow missed me;
But called Pallas TO my aid,
And laughed at him aud Hymen,
Who fain, when Love a hit has made,
In wedock's bands would tie men.
"Begone! my heart no longer harry;
IT'S yet" said, ''too soon to marry.~
When gray my beard, my feelings cold,
Though some few maids had kissed me,
The archer at his target old
Again took aim, but missed me;
And still, as Cupid winged his night,
laughed at him and Hymen,
Whose che it is TO make all right,
When the others arrows try men.
"Begone! my heart no longer harry,
lis now" l said, "too late to marry"

THE SKULL DID THE BUSINESS.

1T was about 2 o'clock in the morning, l
should judge, when my whole family was walked
up by series Of unearthly howl. l grabbed
the Ratchet. which l always keep under my
bed. and rushed down stairs. By this time the
howls had become subdued into groans, with
which, when l reached the yard, whence they
seemed to proceed, lamentations and prayerful
appeals were mingled.
&" Good Lawd, have mercy on po thievin'
niger! | heard a voice cry. Don't let the
debbil in the box fly away wild dis chile
81 found the culprit crouched in a corner of
the yard fairly helpless with fright and shiver-
ing all over. Just as grabbed him my friend
the policeman jumped over the fence. and be-
tween us We half dragged the captive into the
kitchen. where we lighted the gas and interro-
gated him. He was desperately scared, how
ever, only to be able to jabber incoherently.
and l was obliged to restore him somewhat
with liberal dose of my own whisky before he
could summon strength enough in his limbs to
be escorted. to the police station. He after
ward confessed to having been engaged for
months in stealing my provisions, and the
judge sent him over the road for ninety days.
So now my refrigerator is secure-at all events
until some other person with indistinct notions
of proper rights finds ont the conveniences
it affords for nocturnal pillage."

AN ICE BOX IS NOT A SAFE.
At All Events, Not When 1t is Kept Out In

cial to STAR writer. circumstances oblige
me to keep that article of domestic furniture
| in the yard. have no room for it in the PAN
| try, the kitchen is too hot, and it would cause
| unhealthy puddles in the cellar. Sometime
ago my situation in this regard was discovered
by mysterious pilferer. who adopted the
habit of making nightly visits to the ice box
for purposes of plumber. l should not say per-
haps that he came every night, but certainly
three times a week on an average Now it
would be a chicken that gone, again the
remains of a roasting piece and pound of
butter or a few eggs would similarly take wings.
My wife was in despair. Her marketing was
| never safe. and each morning was likely to
bring news Of fresh ravages.
TRYING TO CATCH THIEF.
II called in the services of the policeman on
my beat and he spent parts of several nights
hiding in the yard. The nocturnal visitor
must have chosen other hours. because the
| trouble still continued. l meditated various
expedients, such bear traps and gangs of
fish hooks attached to the door of the ice box,
whereby the intruder might be captured and
held until morning. Finally, hit upon a

| equally effective. 1 went to the shop where I
bought fireworks last Fourth of July and pur-
chased the biggest kind of torpedo. 1t was
buster. l really didn't know that torpedoes
of such size were made. That evening /
fixed the torpedo in an ingenious manner to
| the refrigerator. SO that it could not be opened
without an explosion. There was no visitation
that night, but when the servant wen. to the
ice box early the next morning there was a
frightful bang. followed by such yells as never
heard before in my life. l had forgotten to
warn her on the subject but she gave me warn
ing at once ana left Immediately. saying that
she would not work for person who set explo-
sives to blow her up.
Il have a friend of a scientific turn. He is
so interested in science that he has feelings
in the ordinary way. All sorts of horrors in
bottles decorate his chambers and fragments
OF skeletons are scattered about on his shelves.
He has human skull for ornament on his
mantelpiece. asked him if he would lend it
to me and he said yes. So took it and pro-
cured a small quantity of phosphorus from an
apothecary shop. The same evening-we had
lost beefsteak and seven veal outlets in tie
dark of the moon the night previous-I
rubbed the skull carefully over with the phos-
phorus and set it on the shelf in the refrgera-
| tor. l never saw anything look so horrible in
my life as it did, shining all over in the dark of
the ice box with luminous glare.
