Juvenile Views Of Marriage.

He vas a curly headed boy with
life before him. She was a little girl
with saucy pug nose. but wise. it
would seem, beyond her years. The
fact that she was nursing a doll
with eyes that opened and shut with
a click may nave been his inspiration.
Say. sister. | t'ink I'd git married
II ! knew how"
"Oh. that's easy" replied the owner
of the pug nose. First you buy dia-
mond ring and give it to her; then
you buy gold ring. like mamma's
got. and give that to her. And then
you must buy her a watch for her
birthday"
AN what she give me?" expect
antly asked the little chap.

replied his little companion.

To the Man Who Tried.

Not all or life II is to win:
True hearts respect the man
Who lifts his banner and goes In
To do the best he can.
Three times. Sir Thomas. you have
sought
To lift the trophy up.
But all the Shamrocks that you brought
Have failed to win the Cup.
So CALAMITY You led the fight,
SO true your pluck and pride.
We claim With hea-tiness the right
To praise The Man Whs Fired.
The world has smiled on you. Sir Tom.
And may II Shile you live;
Forgive US If we keep you from
The Cup We could not give.
How better far than rank or fame
II j. to be content
To take with gratitude, not blame
The goods the gods have sent
So now. Sir Tom, restrain your tears
Nor rail against the Fates:
Content you with the Cup that Cheers
And not inebriates.

Our Knowledge as to the Point
Amounts to Nothing.
Upon the question whether life-bear-
ing planets can exist In other solar
systems than our own the answer of
science is clear and distinct It is
precisely the same which Prof New
comb recently gave concerning the
possible inhabitants Of Mars. The
reader knows just as much Of the sub
ject az I do, and that is nothing at
all" Within our solar system we can
indeed form some crude estimate Of
probabilities. beyond 1t. nothing. All
the amazing progress of modern
science. all the revelations made by
the spectroseopc or by photography,
all the advance in biology have not
brought MS one step nearer an answer
to the question, is this the only in
habited World?" We stand essentially
where Whewell and Brewster did half
a century ago, or We might indeed say
where Calico and Capoano were
three hundred years ago. We can in
deed spin out the discussion at greater
length than our predecessors, and can
introduce far larger number Of more
or less irrelevant facts but Of serious
argument either for or against. we
are entirely destitute.-Knowlodg

Dangerous Exuberance.

A quaint and most disagreeable de-
tail of Lord Curzon's recent visit to
koweit was the constant fusillade of
ball cartridge kept up by his native
escort. II does not appear that any
body, strange to relate, was hurt by
the bullets, which must have been
dropping all about in the surrounding
country. but it is quite common in
that part of the world for bystanders
to be injured by these peculiar dem
onstrations of enthusiasm. Blank
cartridge does not satisfy the feelings
of these races when they are excited:
they must, apparently. have the SEN
cation OF danger as well. The pure
negro, on the other hand, even the
Duhoman and the Fan. is quite happy
SO long as he may make a satisfac
tory noise.-Montreal Herald.
