My Happiest Hours.

Some claim their happiest hours were
AT school upon the playground at
Where ali were gay, and on pleasure
bent,
Sorry were they, when called to
books so soon.
While others claim the ball room gave,
To them their happiest hours;
With nothing to mar their pleasures
But the heeting of the midnight
hour.
Others claim that on their bridal eve.
When dressed in jewels and BRIDES
array,
Before they knew that love could de-
ceive,
BY them, their happiest hours were
seen.
My school days have long been past,
And in my memory linger yet,
Those happy hours that have spent,
InSthe ballroom nevershall forget.
Years have passed since my bridal
And j n mother of children even,
/ would have you my friends believe,
My happiest hours are spent.
When all are we'll and all together,
At home sitting round, my tireside,
In cold and dreary weather,
Listening to their papa telling them
n story.

The ohio Central Lines.

This enterprising railroad COM
pany is alway in the lead in the
adoption of arrangements looking
to the accommodation and the con-
venience of its patrons, andin the
issuing of its interchangeable
mileage tickets it has conferred a
boon upon the travelling public
that cannot fail to be generally
appreciated. These tickets (Which
cost $2O) are limited in duration
to one year and can be procured
at all the principal Ohio Central
Lines depots and stations. They
are good over no fewer than 40
different railways and railroad sys-
tens, extending throughout Ohio
and as far East as Buffalo and Now
York, and in the West to Chicago
and st. Louis, A dozen transfer
lines accept the coupons from these
tickets for services, as we'll as nine
steamboat lines (in the season) on
the Ohioan and West Virginia
rivers and the lakes. 1t is rcarcely
necessary to add that these trains
comprise elegant parlor cars by
day and the finest Wagner sleop-
ers by night, and no better service
is afforded by any system trovers-
ing the country.

The Polygomist and His Wives,

The POlygamist and His Wives.
AT recent Universalist Con

Wells told a story of a polygamist
who had two wives, the one old,
the other young. The young wife,
not wanting him to look old, pulled
out his gray hairs, and the old
wife, not wanting him to look
young, pulled out his black hairs.
So he became bald. "If this pick
ing away at creeds dosen't stop the
general church will be bald and
have to wear a denominational
wig" said Brother Wells, and the
radical contingent was swept back
amid the general hilarity.
