What We Like.

Among the many things that are hard
to understand is the fancy entertained by
SO many people that other people will be
interested TO hear at considerable length
what they like to eat and what they do not
like TO eat. There seems to be nothing of
very great interest to ones friends in the
fact that one is passionately fond Of cab
.Jige and onions; and yet, next TO the
weather, the most frequent subjet OF con-
versation Is probably the subject of eat

THIS MORNING.

On the old gray terrace where we had parted,
With VOWS and pledges and many sigh,
Where the sunlight slept and the swallows
darted,
met her, my sweetheart of days gone by.
Twas the ghost of a curtesy, silken, stately,
That she dropped IS she passed, ana turned
from me
To the grand Milford she has welded lately
The equity, tyrannical. rich marquis.
But smiled to myself in cynic fashion
As | watched the bloom on her proud cheek
fade,
And the stir of long forgotten passion
That auttered her bodice of gold brocade.
Oh, the tickle world All the boughs are
budded,
There are locks of sails on the glancing sea,
And my heart with an april Joy is flooded,
Though Dolly is married, and not ~ mel

Mules versus Horses.

The chief reason why mule can nearly
always wear out a horse when it comes TO
a trial OF endurance is that the former al
ways lies down to sleep, and the latter, in
large number of cases, sleeps standing uG.
The habit seems to come to horses with

stable, and they cannot be broken of &c.
Besides the absence of proper rest, and the
constant danger of heavy fall and conse-
quent injury, this habit of standing up to
50 to sleep results in the giving way OF the
front knees, and gives the animal a premaz,
turely aged and crippled condition e

three or four legs to stand upon. the knees
OF the fore legs are all baggy. With a
mule of course it is quite different, for

work is really over, and a somnambulist
mule is seldom If ever met.-Interview in

A Good Lesson Learned.

Colonel Ludlow, who was chief of the
water department of large city, one day re-
ceived a call from a wealthy manufacturer,
whose establishment had many favors to ask
of the department. Before this man made
his request, he handed the colonel $50 bill,
which the colonel laid upon the desk before
him, without saying word. When his visi-
tor rose to go, however, he inquired:
Now, my dear sir, what is this for?'
holding up the bill.
"Oh, that's to buy cigars for the boysp
"Yes, then suppose you are fond of the
weed"
The manufacturer acknowledged that he
did like good cigar.
"Then allow me-" said the chief, in his
most genial manner, Ito insist upon your
trying one of these"
Hetook two cigars from box, lighted his
own with the fifty dollar bill, and passed the
burning paper to his amazed visitor. The
man said nothing, but he never made
second attempt to bride Colonel Ludlow.

Paying a Creditor.

Like many another famous man, both be-
fore his time and since, Talleyrand exhibited
at least in early hfe-a great reluctance to
settling with his creditors. When he was
appointed bishop of Autun by Louis XVI. he
considered fine new coach to be necessary
to the proper maintenance of the dignity of
that office. Accordingly, coach was order
ed and delivered, but not paid for. Some
time after, as the newly appointed bishop was
about to enter his coach he noticed q strange
man standing near who bowed continually
until the coach was driven away This
This occurred for several days, until at length
Talleyrand. addressing the stranger, said:
well, my good man, who are you 7"
81 am your coachmaker, my lord" replied
the stranger.
"Ah !" said Talleyrand, "you are my coach
maker; and what do you want, my coach
maker?"
II want to be paid, my lord"
ooh! you are my coachmaker, and you
want to be paid? You shall be paid my
coachmaker."
"But when, my lord ?"
Hum |" said Talleyrand, settling himself
comfortably among the cushions of his new
coach and cycling his coach-maker severely,
you are very inquisitive."

A Mean Man.

A six year old child with large appetite
and a special fondness for pancakes and
maple syrup arrived at the breakfast table the
other morning and forthwith demanded
cakes.
Eat your oatmeal first" said her father.
Chow many cakes can 1 have" said the
greedy young lady.
The father, who is given to practical jokes,
cogtated for a moment and then said:
IF you eat one plateful of oatmeal you can
have three cakes; but if you eat two plate
fuls you can have four cakes, and if you eat
three platefuls you can have six cakes"
The child accepted the arrangement
promptly. and one plateful of oatmeal dis
appeared in twinkling then another plate
full followed slowly and third was consum-
ed with evident difficulty.
A cake and syrup were then prepared
The youngster had been growing more
solemn every moment, and when one mouth
full of cake had been disposed of suddenly
roared out in anguish:
MY tummy's full of oatmeal and can't
eat any cakes at all-boo hoo ~
