THE LOVE CHASE.

Though oft pass her on the street.
l seldom seem to catch her eye;
She rarely lets our glances meet,
Although she knows I'm passing by.
But though to me she does not speak,
Nor give look my heart to cheer,
The furtive blush upon her cheek
Tells me she knows that am near.
IT'S true she's full of giriish art,
A trait that s common to her sex,
But she is no coquette at heart,
Though oft her tricks my mind perplex.
know she's partial TO the rose,
I've sent her some, both red and yellow;
Yet out upon the street she goes
With violets from some other fellow.
And still this love chase pursue,
'TwiXt hope and tear continue woQlng;
One day o'erjoyed, the next SO blue
/ scarcely know what am doing.
But one thought / take comfort i'll.
And gloomy doubt gives place to rapture,
The harder she may be to win,
The deaser yet will be the capture.

The Word EITHER"

The legal meaning of the word
.either'' has been gravely argued in an
English court of record. Acertain tesla
tor had left property. the disposition of
hich was affected by the death OF
ether of two persons. One lawyer in
sisted that "either" meant both. and in
support of his views he quoted Richard
son, Webster, Chaucer. Dryden, Southey,
the story of the cruciiXi0n and pas
sage from Revelations. The Judge sug
gested that there was a song in THE
Beggar's Opera" which took another
view. How happy l could be with
either were tother dear charmer
away"
In pronouncing judgment the court
ruled that 'either" meant one OF two,
and did not mean both. He said that
it might have that meaning occasionally
in poetry, but never in al English court
of record.

l had Just finished washing up the
pots and pans used in the process of
butter making, aud had sat down min
ute to rest when the door suddenly
opened, and young man walked into
the room. He had such an odd eX-
preston on his face that looked at him
curiously, but at the same time with
secret satisfaction. for, be it known, he
had been my "beau ideal" for long
time. While still looking at him, and
before could speak, he made a sudden
backward movement and sat down
plump in that stralner. He blushed
furiously while making frantic but
futile efforts to eXtricate himself.
Quelling my disabilities, helped him
out. This broke the ice, and we both
laughed heartily. A little later he had
made known his errand, and we were
both happy, as happy as could be.
