On the Spur of the Moment"

IT was on q summers evening,
Not SO very long ago,
A young maid and her mother
Started out, a walk to go.
They sauntered through the village
And on past Poverty Row."
On the road that leads to Gibbstown,
To meet some friends they know.
They talked about the improvements
In this little town of theirs
OF "trolley cars" and national banks"
And things that give folks airs
OF our brand new boon-the steel plant,
And of Mr.. - you know,
When suddenly they heard the tinkling
OF ''bike"-bell, soft and low.
On one gallant, handsome Scotchman,
The other his dainty, sweet-faced bride,
With joyous, sparkling faces,
On their usual evening ride.
None can tell how it happened;
But two walked home so slow,
And the Seotchman and the maiden
A-wheeling they did go.
On, on, they rode together,
This tickle man and girl,
Past farms and fields and streamlets,
Regardless of times whirl.
After long and patient waiting
By the mother and bride at home
And wondering what had kept them,
The truants then did come.
They all entered the pretty parlor;
Two sang duets galore
Till from the clock on the mantel
The hour of eleven did roar.
They donned both hats and jackets,
The mother and the maid,
And accepted the kindly offer
OF the Scotchman, sturdy and staid,
To see them to their dwelling,
Not many miles hence,
And invited his dainty little bride
To bear him company thence.
OF course, this dreadful man and maid
fingered slowly on behind
Which her mother and his bride
Did not seem in the least to mind.
At last their pleasant home was reached,
And with many fond goodnight
They parted, to meet again, perhaps,
When others were not in sight.
THE EXCUSE.
Two bikes" maid, and handsome ma
And charming summer weather.

"How near could you drive without fall.

Asked a master of yore when engaging
A man to be coachman one day
There was more than one applicant wait
ing,
And hoping to fill up the place.
The first that was questioned made an.
He should want but yard or two's
space.
Then the second, who wished to outrival
This boast, and to show off his skill,
Said he'd drive within few inches
Of crag or precipitous hill.
But the third said when asked, 81 can't
tell, sir,
For you see 'twould be with me like
this,
And make sure that l safety don't miss"
And the master commended this answer,
Saying, you are the servant for me;
For myself, and my friends and my
horses,
Will be safe in your hands can see"
The story is old, but the moral
1t teaches is fresh as the May
And the man who would trihe with dan.
ger,
Is the man who is loser to-day.
Strong drink! What precipice awful,
That hides-yea, in spite of it's glow;
Its terrors more dark and more fatal
Than the climbers of Alpine heights
know,
And yet, alas! still men seem trying
To get close to its edge as they can;
Though avoiding it wholly and fully,
Is the wise and only safe plan.
And he will be gamer and winner
Who follows the steps of the one
Who believed, for himself and for others,
1t were better all dangers to shun
