ITO undying verse by poet as good as
10 author OF ''Enoch Arden" Some years
20 in the town where the paper is pub
,is1ed. there lived a man who had wife
sD5 daughter. He seemed prosperous, and
his credit was good for anything he de-
sired.

a taking with him nearly everything
mat wasn't nailed down He had made
obout every man in town creditor. and
--ban he went away the people betook
themselves into outer darkness for awhile
and walled and gnashed their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated the
sam as the rest. They found themselves
5estitute. The fiend in human form who
had so long oficiated as husband and
fatber had left them not a dollar The
adv and her daughter were, of course,
Looked coldly upon for while, as people
believed them to be in collision with the

mis-. They went manfully to work like
urtle heroines in a play; the mother did
sewing and the daughter did whatever she
could get to do. They prospered' as they
deserved to prosper. The older heroine in
time established a millinery store, which
captured all the trade, while the younger
became principal of the schools. They

The kiss
Sweet Phyllis, one bright sumner day,
Upon a rose a kiss impressed;
A butterfly which CHANGED that way
In turn the blushing bud caressed.
1t stole the kiss and straightway flew
Oh, tickle heart into a glade,
And there, upon violet blue,
In ecstacy the kiss 1t laid
The zephyr signing through the trees,
The fioWerets tender fragrance sips;
The kiss is waited on the breeze,
And finds a home upon my lips.
And now. whene'er your face I see
l feel oppressed by weight of debt,
To think I've long kept your kiss with me
So long and not returned 1t yet.
1t has deprived me of my bliss,
Has caused my throbbing heart to burn
Say but the word and i the kiss
With compound interest will return.

Indeed, am not ashamed of my early
FRANKS, and the happiest days I have are
when l ohink of the days spend in Water

amuse me more now than they did others

Some women in Galicia, Austria, have

men of Galicia, PROSTATE at the foot of
the throne, present this our ardent re-
quest: At present, whereas every man,
young or old, is liable to military SER
vice, we women, often more robust than
effeminate men, think we ought not to
be excluded. The arms now in use are
Well made. and easy to handle. We
