His Summer in the Suburbs.

From the Cleveland Leader. He had a patch of melons,
 And they grew and grew and grew, And he used to stand enchanted,
 As he gazed upon the view, And he hoed them night and morning, And he kept them watered well, And he used to think with pleasure Of the melons he would sell Oh. he proudly told his neighbors He'd supply them, in the fall- But his melon raising's ended,
 For the bad boys got 'em all.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago News.
 The majority of men believe in pla- tonic love-after death.
 When a. man is dead broke he usually has very little life in him.
 If some men knew themselves they would be ashamed of the acquaintance. A man seldom knows when he has got enough until after he gets too much.
 Death is frequently the result of a mans effort to make a living.
 The girl who paints her lips has poor taste-or at least the man who kisses her thinks SO.
 The average girl never hears of transaction involving an engagement ring without wishing she had finger in it.
 The man who takes an umbrella to church and leaves it out in the vestibule has got true Christian faith.
 A man may be handicapped by being born poet, but there is no reason why he shouldn't brace up and make some thing of himself.
