THE POWER OF LOVE.


o, what can have happened TO Willie, to make
him so good all OF once'
At home he's no longer q terror; In school he no
more is a Ounce;
Out doors he is gentle and quiet; before he was
noisy ana rude
And as for his dress, you won't know him-he's
changed to a regular dude
To make him wash even his fingers required a
wrestle intense,
But now for the soapsuds he's showing love
which is simply immense;
He brushes his HAIR till IL glistens while cycling
himself in the glass
o, what can have happened to Willie to bring
all the wonders to passH
He keeps his teeth whittier than snowdrifts with
out being told any more;
He minds like soldier and gladly he does any
errand or chore;
He's grown several inches in stature because he
now stands so erect
And in his bearings so manly that all have to
show him respect
o, what can have happened TO Willie to make
him this angel completeH
He cannot be going to be one like little boys do
II too sweet?
o mol I've discovered the reason that's making
him so like dove,
And marvel of boyish perfection-the dear lit
tie fellows in love.
One morn in the garden found him selecting a
pretty bouquet!
"Ab, who is IT for, Willie, darlingl" asked in q
motherly way;
All blushing as red as his roses and modestly
hanging his head,
"I-don t-like- to-tel-anybody; not even
you, mammal" he said,
At noon 1 saw Willie returning from school with
dainty, wee maid,
Who held in her pink, dimplef fingers those
fowers-whch never should fade
/ noticed his tender attentions bestowed On his
partner in bliss
And watched the sweet sorrow ut parting and
glances shot back at the miss
Yes, Willie has now his first sweetheart and
that's why he sings like bird,
And keeps himself spotless in raiment and gen
lie in action and word.
And noble and manly in bearing All, yesl
there is nothing like love
To make either young or old people as good as
the angels above

HEROIC BUT CoWARDLY.
Some Things That Will Take the Concei
Out of n Brave Man.

A man can take his life in his hand
and go boldly into the trackless prairie
to meet herd of savage buffalo, or he
can traverse the horrors of an African
jungle without shudder in his body,
but he cannot enter fancy wool shop
to match special hue without break
ing into violent perspiration and
finally rushing away without fulfilling
his task
A man can suffer the amputation OF
limb in heroic manner, but he cam
not endure a mustard plaster on his
chest without shrieking aloud for
mercy.
A man can bear the deprivation of
his wealth with the calmness of stole,
but he cannot lose his collar stud on
the bedroom floor without a violent
outburst of temper.
A man can smile grimly under the
fortunes of the rack, but he cannot
tread on tack with his bare feet with
out bitter howl.
A man can walk forty miles day
and arrive fresh and bright at the end
of his journey, but he cannot nurse "a
baby half an hour without complaining
that he is utterly worn out.
A man can calculate to the uttermost
farthing the cost of the Suez canal, but
he cannot estimate the price of a wom-
ans bonnet without egregious errors.
A man can possess the physical
strength of a Samson, but he cannot
help to take down the pictures for the
annual spring cleaning without feeling
completely exhausted with his labors.
A man can suffer death at the stake
with the dignity of martyr, but he
cannot chase after his hat in public
road without looking ridiculous
A man will go through fire and water
to win the girl of his heart, but he will
not allow her to see him with a four
days growth on his chin.-Chicago

Popular Dress Materials for the Present
Season.
Some of the plaids are twelve inches
square. The black and white striped
goods are going to be very fashiona bic
this fall and winter, and there is a
wonderful line of gray plaids and
stripes. These plaids are in enormous
squares, some straight and some dia-
mond-shape, and all are shaded and
blended SO that the plaids has all the
threads from white to black and all
the grays Some of the white or black
threads are woven in such way as to
make the plaid look as if it were tufted,
but the surface is quite smooth. Few
persons know how it is done, but some
of these black and white paids have a
sort of tartan effect The most of the
tweed plalds have the outlines of the
plaids indistinct and the blending of
the shades is most artistic Some of
them have a wavy figure, with all the
grays in. Others have stripes that
weave into each other, herring bone
style, and some have q boucle effect
and yet are smooth. The tiny shep-
herds check will also be popular in
black and white and in gray and black.
Black broadcloth is also on the books
for popular run this season.
Black, it is said, both here and
abroad, will be more popular than ever
before, and the colorings of a costume
will come from the trimmings and ac.

English Mourning Etiuuet.

The period of mourning for father
in-law is twelve months-ten months
black, two months half mourning
crepe is seldom worn, although the
crepe period was formerly six months.
For parent the period is the same
as above. The longest period
for brother is six months
five months black, one month
half mourning, The crepe period was
formerly three months; it is now al
most discarded. The shortest period is
four months black, no half mourning.
We may remark that the period OF
mourning for father-in-law is often
shortened to six months when relatives
reside at considerable distance from
each other.-London Times.
