Fun well you know your bsaufy's power;
You count your lovers by the score,

You're seeking for worthy mate;
A handsome form, radiant smile
Half tempt you from your maiden state.

How oft you notice and admire
These knights Of modern chivalry-
Their gallant mien. their youthful fire.
To me their gifts seem poor and slight.

His form replete with manly grace.

But bowsoer your fate may turn

Venetian Youth.

The Venetian youths, like their cousins
in Rome, are fond of dogs, and the uglie1
and more forbidding the dog SO much
the more it seems to be admired. This
has very odd result. The gentlemen
wear their boots long in the sole and
curved upward, mode which does not
improve their personal appearance.
When very exquisite indeed, they further
attire themselves in tall silk hats, lemon
colored kid gloves and collars that rise
almost to their lips. Then, with dap.
per cane and poodle shaven so brutally
clean that no lock of wool is left upon
it, save at the tip of its tail, the gentle
man considers himself completed for
promenade.
Up and down he goes, bowling zeal
ously to the right hand and the left,
ever and anon stopping to caress the
tips OF the fingers of lady, and ever
and anon pausing to unwind the chain
of his poodle from his elegant legs He
is an expert at explosives; but the poodle
is used to them, and bears without one
whine of objection all the abuse it ex-
cites. All the Year Round

The dread of| ghosts, so well known &c
all uncivilized and semiuncivilized coun.
tries, is commdn in the aborigines Of
India to an UNUSUAL degree; the same
may be said of their Aryan conquerors
and the lower classes of Mohammedans
All Indian ghosts are supposed to be
mischievous, and some of them bitterly
malicious. The only means employed
to appease the ra ncor of these unlaid
spirits is to build shrines for them and
to make them offeri ngs, such as fowl.

Any severe illness, hnd more especially

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description
The head should be propo rtionately
large and well set on; the lower jaw.
bones should be sufficiently far apart tc
enable the head to form an angle with
the neck, which gives it free motion and
graceful carriage and prevents it bear

Two little children who had seen a
Memorial Day procession decided that
they would decorate the grave of ia
vorite pussy that had been buried under
the pear tree in the back yard So they
marched toward the spot one behind the
other. The first child, who carried
drum, was the band, and the second.
with tiny flag, was the Grand Army
Before they reached the grave lot OF
old hens ran in front of the procession.
"Shoo, SHOOT" cried the band

ond division. don't scare them away

Meaning of "snore."

"Snore," to breath hoarsely in sleep.
The word means more. Its root is in
the Teutpnic "snar," which is the root
Of ''snar, Y to growl. 1t also means to
grumble. It is an expression of disgust.
An inti1p ate acquaintance with Yankee
idioms takes hold on the expression that
is put forward at an unsavory report
'Well, I\snorer' which simply means
that the haarer is disguised and says he
growls or siRarls
Another curious expression of that
peculiar people is 81 snum!'-simply ID
contraction of "rm struck dumb" This
latter has no connection with the subject
in hand.
To snore, th erefore, means much more
than to make discordsnt noises in sleep.
