Things a Woman Can Do.

Some can come to a conclusion without the
slightest trouble Of reasoning on, it says the
London Topical Times, and no sane man can
do that.
Six OF them can talk at once and get along
first rate, and no two men can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress
while he is getting one under his thumb nail
She is as cool as a cucumber in half a dozen
tight dresses and skirts, while man will sweat
and fume and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk sweet as as peaches and cream
to the woman she hates, while two men would
be punching each others heads before they had
exchanged ten words.
She can throw a stone with a curve that would
be fortune to a base ball pitcher.
She can say mo" in such low voice that It
means yes"
She can sharpen lead pencil IL you give her
plenty Of time and plenty of pencils.
She can dance all night In a pair Of shoes two
sizes too small for her, and enjoy every minute
Of the time
She can appreciate kiss from her husband
seventy years after the marriage ceremony is
performed.
She can go to church and afterward tell you
what every woman in the congregation had on.
and In some rare instances can give you some
faint idea of what the text was.
She can walk half the night with a colicky
baby In her arms without once expressing the
desire Of numbering the infant.
She can do more in a minute than a man can
do in an hour, and do it better.
She can drive q man crazy in twenty-four
hours and then bring him &c paradise In two
seconds by simply tickling him under the chin,
and there does not live that mortal son Of
Adam s misery who can do il.

Grandmother's Promises.

From the Chicago NetUs Record.
Grandmother sits IN her chair at ease;
Her faded eyes have dreamy look;
Bible is open upon her knees,
But her hands are clasped on the sacred book.
Children have left her and scattered wide;
Some of them wander far over the sea.
And some OF them sleep on the green hillside
In the sweet. SAD memory of used to be-
Grandmother sees them in a hazy dream,
They are trooping back through the wastes Of
years;
''Stm mine, thank God" and rainbow's CLEAN
Lies banked in the mists of her silent tears
There is Baby Margie, who died on her arms
When the snow lay white over hill and lea;
But grandmother reads she is safe from harm
In the bosom of him who said, Come unto
me-"
There's Richard-wild Richard-who ran away
And sailed forever from earthly shore;
Mad, blue oceans may toss their spray
Up there, and the sea shall be no more.
And Walter. the wayward-has he been re-
claimed?
She wonders IL feet like his may stand;
She turns the pages-the doubt is shamed-
For 'none shall e'er pluck them out OF my
hand"
She closes the book with a sigh Of rest,
She has banished doubling and banished
care:
Her chin drops down on her heaving breast.
And grandmother sits asleepin her chair.
