Loves Sweet Reward.

I care not for the thorny way,
Though the skies bend black above me;
The dark sings sweetly to the day:
You love me, dear. you love me"
The winter blossoms as the May,
And sweetest birds are singing;
The storm hath still the rainbow's ray,
And all life's bells are ringing!
And bright the night, and dear the day,
With stars or storms above me,
While life shall sing, and death shall say
You love me, dear, you love mel"

An Ingenious Little Old Man.
A little old man Of the sea
Went out in boat for SAIL
The water came In
Almost up to his chin,
And he had nothing with which to bail
But this little old man of the sea
Just drew out his jackknife so stout.
And hole with it's blade
In the bottom he made,
So that all of the water ran out.

The manager of transforming
theatrical company has found new
method of beating his way, which he
worked, throughout Vermont. When
the company had registered at a hotel,
the manager would promptly announce
the treat was on him and the whole
troupe would drink at his expense.
When the time came for the departure
OF the company the manager would ex.
press his inability to pay, and on being
threatened with prosecution he would
promptly put quietus ON the hotel
man by telling him that SO many vic.
lations of the prohibitory law could be
proved against him. The hotel man
would rather lose $50 or S75 than be
prosecuted for liquor selling; and the
theatrical manager was allowed to
move on to some other town. 1t is
known positively that this game was
worked in several towns.
