Spring sheds her loneliness anew
To gladden. love Young dream;
It's most too warm for oyster stew
Too chilly for ice-cream.
A woman is always interes ted in
the age of another woman.
Old maids were born in the wrong
time of the moon-there was no man

Fish is said to be good brain-food.
but it really seems a pity in some
cases to waste SO much fish.
No man may expect to enjoy him
self fishing unless he has something
better than worms in his bottle.
The eagle had better look to his

Women have been wronged for
ages, and have suffered in a thousand
ways" declared a woman's rights

The Olympia DoiIy Ncrs is rs far
above the Oiympion and Recon'er, as

him home"
Rockefeller, Morgan Il Co. believe
that the more money there is to be
made out of deal the more credit

There was sweet fancy in legends of
old
OF star that had wandered at play.
And the tears that it shed in the search
for the fold
Still shines in the fair milky way
So the thoughts of my heart, of the
years that have fed

And the cycle of years, when their
beauty is dead
Will be hallowed by memories of thee.

1t has always seemed shame to
me that after an actor or vaudeville
artist has done his or her best, the
public should show it's satisfaction
by demanding a double programme.
suppose the custom of giving "en-
cores" has arisen by good natured |
artists singing, dancing, or doing
whatever their stunt may be, over
again, to please an audience. but the
public seem to forget that to many |
actors during their turn" before q |
arge audience is great strain, and |

packing sacks of coal, weighing one
hundred pounds each, up to the third |

we're begrimmed with coal-dust, &C.

Say, Bill, who is that big, SWELL
looking fellow?"
That's United States Senator
Piles, OF this State. They say he is
one OF the brightest men, as well as |
being the handsomest dressed man,
the august body of law
makers at the national capital"
What a splendid man," reioined |
the other. never in all my life,
