Wadsworth. She was a pretty girl
with plenty Of admirers, but of them
all she favored but one, and that was
William Mckinley. The energetic lad
wooed like a Napoleon, but he met his
Waterloo at the hands of the old peo-'
pie. AS soon as they discovered that
the young couple were contemplating
matrimony they interfered. Mckinley
was poor, and to the shrewd eye CT
John Wadsworth he did not appear like
a man calculated to get on in the world,
and for this reason he denied him the
hand of his fair daughter. The usual
result followed. C~landestine meetings
and surreptitious correspondence was
resOrted to. Whispers of a possible
elopement were waited to the old folks
ears. They resolved upon stern meas
ures and the romance was at an end.
There was in Poland a young man
named McMOng, who had persistently
wooed the fair Lydia. Her parents IA
yored his suit and declared that she
must marry him. There was a stormy
scene and the girl vowed that she
would have the man Of her choice or
none, but in the end she yielded. She
married McMong, who has been to her
all that her parents anticipated. To
day she is living in Big Rapids with her
husband and two pretty daughters.
Their home is cozy and comfortable,
and they have the respect Of the COM.
munity and a substantial part in IT'S
social life.

WHEN SUE GLANCED ar ME-.

Ihe world can boast Of many things not
known Of long ago,
When earth seemed troubled with tho
govt, and science and art were slow:
Now everything conspires to bring but
luxury and ease,
And progress has, some say. improved ON
nature by degrees;
Bat naught can give its substitute-as
naught has yet improved
The genuine, old-fashioned thrill that
comes of being loved,
Such as / own l felt Of old in eminent de-
gree,
When Sue behind the window blinds once
shyiy glanced at me!
She was a little lass | knew away back
in my youth,
And, if not up to date, the fact awakes
IN me no ruth.
To-day's affected love of art for arts
sake would have been
TO her old-fashioned views of things but
little short Of SIM
She never dreamed that paltering would
strike the tempter dumb,
And Zolaism furnished not her mental
pabulum;
And all this purity was there, L could but
clearly see,
When Sue behind the window blinds
glanced shyly out at me.
1t i'll becomes the heart of age to over
flow with sighs-
If gone the roses, says the poet, their
ashes must suffice;
When white hairs tell the time to leave
off cakes and ale is here,
We ought to turn our thoughts upon a
more enduring sphere;
But somehow there's a pleasure yet in
calling up the way
That one bright pair of eyes could make
Of night the fairest day;
For on my sight there glowed the light
ne'er seen on LAND or sea
When Sue, behind the window blinds,
glanced shyly out at me!
