Provincial Breeding.

American Queen.
1t is now universally conceded that the
most undeniable mark of provincial breed
ing is to open conversation with a slight
acquaintance-on meeting him or herewith
the remark, You do not remember me-"
or II see that you have forgotten my
name" 1t has been discovered that it was
said by Lord Chesterfield. that prince of
wits and most polished noble of his day,
that a man or woman must indeed have
spent his life in the country whose circle
of acquaintance is so small that he can put
q name 10 each member of it the instant
he sets eyes upon him. And the man who
feels himself CT such vast importance that
his name must impress itself indeliby on
heard on more than one occasion, displays
an ingenious self-satisfaction which re-
Veals but slight knowledge of the vastness
and constant occupations of the world of
fashion and breeding. "A mans name"
adds my lord, is of no consequence what
ever until his own charms and qualities
have made him an intimate, and even then
tits not his name that is remembered but
himself"
1t is consequently absolutely proper in
addressing any but an old friend on meet

one should begin by saying casually ones

What is the SIZE of a ladys hand? The
collector of the port of New York insists
that a glove as large as a No must be
brought in several gross of such gloves in
sists that they are ladies' size and were

troversy is found in the fact that the tariff
imposes about twice as heavy a duty on

the testimony which has been taken bears
out the importer 1t has been shown to a
reasonable degree of certainty that West

In Late September.

Among the hardy marigolds
The spicy gilly- flower unfolds,
And in the elm the cat-bird scoldS,
With saucy outspread wings;
To mellow sweets the pippins speed,
The sunhoWer disks are brown with seed,
And round about them fincheS feed
In clinging yellow rings.
The latest poppy fires are dead,
But bright as blossoms overhead
In shining sheaves Of bronze and red
The frost-tipped pear leaves show;
While from their branches blackbirds sing
Or break to noisy chatterlng,
And slender silken cobWebS string
The tall grass down below.
Along the uplands, family seen
Across the fallow fields between,
The winter wheat grows bravely green
Despite the coming cold;
And studding all the stubbled ground,
In tasseled shocks the corn is bound,
The ripened ears heaped close around
In piles of purest gold.
To smoky wreaths along the ways
The newly kindled brush heaps blaze,
And filnIy wells of purple haze
Mesh all the amber air;
Among the fieeces of the sheep
The yellow SunbeamS softly creep,
And sweet contentment, wide and deep
Broods gently everywhere.

The Constant Friend.

Beneath the green, unfolding leaves.

To find which way would suit me me best, best
L looked to find the way
The bells rang through the sunny air.
The May buds opened fresh and fair
The birds were singing everywhere,
And l was young ana gay.
The many winding paths divide, -.
And wrapped in wonder, grand and wide,
The earth before me lay.
I CLAIMED nv hands and laughed and cried
TO all the birds and butterflies,
Now who Will be my friend and guide,
Tfen from the green, unfolding leaves
Loves eyes upon me shone.
His voice with springtimes promise swelled,
And all the sweet May morning held; Ill,
His voice with springtime's promise swelled
In ripping, crystal Tone
"'Tis will be thy constant friend,
From first to last from end to end
Be with thee all the way.

And set a rose on every thorn thorn, go ,o
Roll every stone away.
This Love did say-did say 10 me.
When 1 was young and gay.
Beneath the brown and falling leaves
| watch the fading day.
I've wandered far through east ana west
Whichever way did seem the BEST;
And north and south, and east and west,
In many winding way.
Dull clouds obscure the autumn SKIES
Gone are the birds and butterflies,
Forlorn and bare the wide earth hes
And l am old and gray.
The song is out, the race is run,
And dark the night is drawing on;
From lonesome plains the north winds moan
Is sounding in my ear.
But, constant friend from hrst TO last,
Though every star be overcast,
Love stands beside me frnl and FAST
And naught have l 10 fear.
He wraps me in his mantle warm,
lie keeps away the cold and storm,
His kind cares never cease.
His gentle, soothing fingers spread
A pillow meath my weary head,
He fills my age with peace
He sang for me when birds were flown.
He bloomed for me when flowers were gone
He made December May.
And let my Griefs be what they might,
Each tear still held his sunbeam S light;
His blessings night and day
Made good to me the cold worlds Scorn,
And set a rose on every thorn,
And from my pathway rough and long
Rolled every stone away.
Th., Love did do-did do to me,
And l am old and gray.
