johnson right. Although some men~adore
Wisdom in women and with wisdom cram her,
There isn't in ten but thinks far more
OF his own grub than of his spouse's grammar.
I know it is the greatest shame in life,
But who among them (save, perhaps, myself,
Returning home, he asks his wife
What beef--not books-she has upon the shelf
Though Greek and Latin be the lady's boast,
They're little valued by her loving mate.
The kind of tongue that husbands relish most
Is modern, boiled and served upon a plate.
Or if, fond ambition may command,
Some homemade verse the happy matron shows

What mortal spouse but from her dainty hand
Would sooner see pudding than poem3
Young lady-deep in love with Tom Harry
IT'S sad to tell you such tale as this
But here's the moral OF it: Do not marry,
Or, marrying, take your lover he is
A very man, with something of the brute
(Unless he proves sentimental noddy),
With passions strong and appetite to boot,
A thirsty soul within hungry body;
A very man-not of natures clods-
With human feelings, whether saint sinner,
Endowed perhaps with genius from the GODS
But apt to take his temper from his dinner.

Ye sons OF freedom, wake to gloryi
Harki bark! what myriads bid you risei
Your children, wives and grandsires hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their criesi
Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding,
With hireling hosts, ruffian band,
Alright and desolate the land,
While peace and liberty lie bleedingf
TO arms! to armsl we brave!
TIL avenging sword unsheathe;
March on! march on! all hearts resolved
On victory or death.
Now, now the dangerous storm is rolling,
Which treacherous kings confederate raise;
The dogs of war; let loose. are bowling,
And 10! our fields and cities blaze;
And shall basely view the ruin
While lawless force, with guilty stride,
Spreads desolatio far and wide.
With crimes and blood his hands embruing.
o Liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous hame7
Can dungeons, bolts, or bars confne theei
Or whips thy noble spirit tamef
Too long the world has wept, bewailing
That falsehood's dagger tyrants WELD.
But freedom is our sword and shield.
And all their arts unavailing.

Next to the chestnuts, the pecans are
probably the greatest of American nuts
that are raised and used quite univer-
sally in most of the states of the Union.
Primarily found growing chiefly in the
states south of New York, their line
culture has been gradually extended to
all parts of the north. They produce
larger crops, however, in the south. In
Illinois native pecan tree is found
which is said to be as hardy as the ap-
pie and fully as prolific of nuts as the
southern trees. Even IN Michigan pecan
trees are now found.-New York Sun.

Life.

Life Is a building. 1t rises slowly day

Every experience, every touch Of another

Stand like harpers hoar, with boards that rest on

persons engaged in the civil service who
are opposed to Imperialism will vote the
Republican ticket for fear of losing their
positions with the government. Certain
ly there are not many who would prefer
government employment under an EN-
pire to whatever risk might attend their
employment under Il republic. I'm not
much of an admirer of that civil service
which is suspended when IL president is
inaugurated until he can fill the offices
with his friends, and is extended by til"
president when he is about to retire in
order that he may protect his friends i'll
office. | believe that Il system of civil
service might be devised wherein ap-
pointmpnts would be made upon merit
and wherein the appointees would hold
for fixed term and not be dependent
upon the will of an appointing officer.
The industrial despotism now inaugural
cd by the Republican party is closing the
door Of opportunity against the young
man and driving many to seek govern

dirons would be employed in producn.
