MIXING UP MATERIAL.
Ak Authors Method of Fixing Up His
Characters So to Offend
No One.

There's good many queer things
in this world" said Miss Jowders,
meditatively, to her friend, Miss
Barnes, "but the queerest of all is
folks. Now did you ever take notice
of that young man that spent the
fore part of August here, a friend of
the Samson family?"
81 did," said Miss Barnes, "but he
knew how to eat; he was the hearth
est boarder [ ever had. But it's his
trade that's so queer-he's a story
writer, and he's always looking for
what he calls material He seemed
to think everything and everybody
here was material, and I said to him
outright one day, You may get into
trouble if you take Branbury folks
and put 'em right in book, faults,
failings and ALL
''But he laughed and said 'twould
be all safe the way he did it, and
then he explained his method. I take
the old mems traits and give 'em to
old ladies' he said, and if there's a
naughty girl [ turn her into little
boy, and any middle-aged folks I
make into young ones. Then [ lay
the scene in Canada, where I've never
BEEN he says, and set the time back
so years, and there you are!' Now
did you HHer hear such talk as that
in all your days? But they tell me-
his books sell just like hot cakes."--

THE GOLDEN WEDDING.

Fifty years Of life together!
Dearest, lay your hand in mine;
List, this IS our Golden Wedding
With it's radiance divine.
Fifty years of storm and sunshine
Fifty years of faith and love
Fifty years of life together,
Thanks tc Him VINO reigns above.
When wooed you In your beauty
And our lives were in their Spring,
When we pledged our love in union
And sealed it with this ring,
Heaven itself was dimmed in vision
BY the rapture in my breast;
But to-day my love is stronger
Fifty years has been it's teSti
When upon your brow descended
From Gods hand the gift came down.
Woman's regal right of mother,
Royalty you wore the crown.
Dearest, how loved you, loved you
With a strength scarce dared own,
Fervid with a strong mans passion
Wife, that love has greater grown!
Midst your hair the threads Of silver
Came as years they slipped away,
Eut our lives were bound more closely
, BY the love-links forged each day.
Sta1wart sons and gracious daughters
Were the gifts you gave to me,
I had but my love to offer
Still it's incense circles thee!
Fifty years of life together!
Close, ah close the shadows steal,
And our feet the rivers margin
Touch unneticed as we kneel.
Closer, closer let your heart-beats
Throb with mine this glad to-day
Fifty years OF life together!
Storm or sunshine, Love held sway!
