PoLLY's sENT1MENTAL1sM.

Proposing is one OF the lost arts.
In love-making it is the practice,
not theory, that counts.
The lump which you feel in your
throat when you are going to pro-
pose is the don't" lump.
Sentiment is like wine; it keeps
well only when it is tightly bottled,
and spoils when it is aired.
An engagement is nothing more
nor less than a little rehearsal for
matrimony.
A certain kind Of man thinks the
compliment he pays woman by
marrying her is the last he needs
ever to pay her.
Some men who never tasted the
spice in life's pudding, begin to long
for it the moment they are put on
matrimonial diet of bread and milk.
A perfect man would be an awful
bore. He'd have to wear court plas-
ter patches all over his soul to pre-
tend that there were imperfections
there.
Love is like pudding. You can't
warm it over; and even if you could,
it would lose its flavor.
A woman always longs to spell
her soul out on paper. When she
writes love letter she ought to do
it as though she were writing for
fame, publication or posterity.
The girl he didn't get is always a
mans ideal.
When a man marries woman he
loses his prospective on her. 1t is
like looking too close to picture.
The man who breaks his dinner
engagement with you before mar
riage will break your heart after
ward.
Spending your courtship study
ing cook books and economy is like
spending your life saving up for your
funeral expenses.
With man nothing is so dead as
dead love.
A man marries girl because she
is what she is, and then immediate
ly sets to work trying to make her
what she is not.
A man who has never had a "past"
is almost certain to have future. !"
A man who has known the folly
of loving the wrong woman keenly
appreciates the sweet satisfaction of
possessing the right one.
A woman goes through life with
white satin slippers. If she gets
them muddy, they can't be washed.
A LADY AND her little daughter
were walking through fashionable
street when they came to a portion OF
the street strewn with straw, SO as to
deaden the noise of vehicles passing
a certain house.
Whats that for, mar" asked the
child.
"The lady vino lives in that house, I"
replied the mother, "has had little
baby girl sent her, my dear"
The child thought moment, looked
at the quantity of straw, and said:
"Awfully well packed, wasn't sbr'
mar"

WAsHINGTON's FAMILY.

DR.. Thomas Adds Emmet, believ-
ing that insufficient justice has been
done to the Irish pioneers of the
American colonies, contributes to The
Magazine of History some entertain
ing details and theories. Il may
mention" he says, "that even Wash
ington was possibly descended on his
fathers side from Washington who
had lived in Ireland, and his mothers
family, the Balls, beyond doubt came
from the neighborhood of Dublin. "
He adds:
"Walford in his Country Families
Of the United Kingdom shows that
at the present time the only families
with any property bearing the name
of Ball are to be found in Ireland.
The family, it is stated, came to Ire
landin the fourteenth century as Flem
ish emigrants. The De Wessyngtons,
it is also claimed, were Flemish, who
settled about the same time in both
England and Ireland. But the head
of the English family, it seems, died
some years before the planning of
Jamestown, Va. The members of the
Irish branch have all been traced and,
some of them in this country. One,
son of Henry Washington, who was
prominent man, disappeared from
Ireland during the troubles I have
described. He probably escaped to
Bermuda, where many vessels first
stopped on their way to the American
colonies.
During visit to Bermuda in 1852
had occasion to examine some of the
early church records. there saw
several references made in the minutes
of the vertry meetings to one Wash
ington. "a sojourner," who was sew
eral times fined for not conforming
by attending the service of the Estab-
lished English Church. He seems to
have proved incorrigible, as he was
finally ordered Ito go his way" He
probably did go to Virginia, from the
known fact that his father had been a
friend of Lord Baltimore and others
who are connected with the Virginia
settlements. /"
DURING THE Civil War soldiers
were very apt to become intoxicated,
as liquor was sometimes the only drink
they could get. One soldier who was
| in the habit of becoming intoxicated
was demonstrated with by the colonel
of his regiment, the conversation
which took place being as follows:
"You are remarkably clean man,
SIR"
"Thank you, Colonel"
''But, sir, you have bad habits.
II am sorry for that, Colonel"
z "You drink, SIR"
81 am sorry for that
"Oh, l know you are sorry, but
why don't you drink like me"
Colonel, 1 couldn't doit; it would
kill me. "-B0Ston He,0ld.

If we treat each other so, we treat
God no better. not even so we'll. Now
where did I get my good home, and my
dear friends, and my plentiful meals,
and my good bed? From God, Who
certainly does require at least thanks
in return. Did l ever give them? Did
I ever so much as actually feel that
God had given me these gifts Where
did / get my good health, my clean
head, my strong arm, my light step, my
happy heart? We get such things
only from the most loving kindness
of our. Creator. And every day we
get them over again. And every day
we receive them, we enjoy them
alas sometimes in sinful manner.
and we go on our way almost as it
there was no God at all.
The truth is that the commonest
sin of our lives is ingratitude to God.
1t is like the very germ sin, or the
poison in the air, or the venom in the
blood of fallen man. 1t is a sin, which
is rooted in pride, feeds upon selfish
ness, and brings forth the fruitof spirit
ual indifference.

Five MINUTE SERMONS.

Ingratitude is very mean vice,
no matter against whom it is COM
rnitted. There may be some fathers
and mothers who have felt how cruel
a sin il is, for there are children, not
a few nowadays, who have treated
their parents, good parents, too, with
shocking ingratisude; have cursed
them and reviled them have struck
them; have allowed them to live on the
charity of strangers have forced them
to play the part of drudges during
those sad years of old age when leis-
ure and comfort would be so welcome !;
have tried to force the little remnant
of means from them by the basest
threats and extortion. and perhaps
even violence there are parents whose
hearts have ached to see their children
ashamed of their old-country accent
aud their simple manners. Is not
this very abominable? Then, too, all
through life we meet with cases where
men have lent others money out of
personal friendship, only to be repaid
by lying, dishonest ingratitude. In
deed, there is scarcely one of us who
has not been badly treated by persons
whom we have in one way or other be-
friended.

Perhaps you have heard of the poor
man who waswalking along the docks
one evening, and hearing the cries of
a drowning man he threw off his coat,
jumped into tue water, and, almost
drowning himself in the effort, finally
brought the poor fellow safe on shore.
He turned out 10 be a very rich man.
Grateful, as you may suppose, for his
life, he turned to his rescuer, he drew
from his pocket handful of silver and
what do you think he did? He asked
him if he had change for half a dollar !
Indeed there are many who towards
the end of their lives suffer sharp re-
morse for the ingratitude of their ear
lier days. How many who never Pray
for their benefactors who are so proud
and selfish that they do not want to
have any benefactors who are just
as careless of benefactors' names in
their backbiting as of any others; who
think that a little money can pay a
debt of affection; who often receive
and never give, nor SO much as ever
thank
