REDOUlN LOVE SONG.

By Bayard Taylor. From the desert l come to thee On q stallion shod with fire; And the winds are left behind In the speed of my desire. Under the window ] stand, And the midnight hears my cry; l love thee, l love but thee, with a love that will not die
 Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old And the leaves of the Judgment
 Book unfold! Look from the window and see .4y passion and my pain: I lie on the sand below, And l faint in thy disdain. Let the night winds touch thy brow With the heat of my burning sigh, An melt thee to hear the vow Of love that shall ont die
 Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgment
 Book unfold, My steps are nightly driven, By the fever in my breast, To hear from thy lattice breathed The word that shall give me rest. Open the door of thy heart Ind open thy chamber door, Anu my kisses shall teach thy lips The love that shall fade no more
 Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old
 And the leaves of the Judgment
 Book unfold!

A BAD policy it Is to buy a wife.
 "A Never buy one. Always catchs A her yourself. The least assist ance from the family may not be objec- tionable, yet there is no dear so dear as the one you capture yourself. This is quite easy, as woman is tame domestic animal, and instead of avoiding the mat rimonal moose will come up and stick her head right through the matrimonial yoke if man holds wedding ring out to her. Do not take the first one you may put your hands on, for fear you may not be able to catch another.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
No Longer Regarded as a Refuge on
 the Road to Oblivion.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Under the theory of a dozen or two dozen years ago the vice presidency was, for the ambitious statesman, the last refuge on the road to oblivion. The in- cumbent Of that office shows that this conception is essentially wrong. Charles w. Fairbanks, as vice president has been so successful and has made him self so popular that he has not only strengthened himself. but has aided his party.
 When held by the right sort of man, like Mir. Fairbanks, the vice presidency is great office. In the even divisions in the Senate, consisting of the members of only thirteen states, Vice President John

 To Preserve a. Husband-fo preserve husband, select nice kind, amiable, in- dustrious man-one thoroughly generous. The home made article, the American gentleman is preferable to the foreign variety.

By Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Enamored architect of airy rhyme, Build as thou wilt; heed not what each
 man says. Good souls, but innocent of dreamers'
 ways, Will come and marvel why thou wasted
 time; Others, beholding how thy turrets climb 'Twixt theirs and heaven, will hate thee
 all their days: But most beware of those who come to
 praise. Oh, wondersmith oh, worker in sublime And heaven-sent dreams, let art be all in
 all; Build as thou wilt, unspoiled by praise or
 blame, Build as thou wilt, and as thy light is
 given. T zen. If at last thy airy structure fall, Dissolve. and vanish-take myself no
 shame. They fall. and they alone, who have not
 striven.
