For him no smile of friendship gleams ; He works for other He measures all men by the foot And from them taketh toll ; ‘Their upperleath- .) | erhim doth boot, Let others mind their soul, Atal our shows he takes his box, Avoiding thus the rush, And artist-like he seeks the rocks When he takes up the brush, Misfortune’s rubs he oft doth meet ; Chicago hits him hard When demonstrating that two feet Will sometimes make a yard, Alas, the bunion that he knows Was not in Bedford born ; He reads no crop reports, but goes Bat little into corn, Full soon a maiden’s dusky face Supplied the joy once lacking, Their contributions to the race Show that they still are blacking. His happy hours forever run Like dancing shadows o'er him, He takes a shine to every one Who has a nickel for him. EPITAPH.

THE milk of human kindness seldom produces cream. The average woman prefers being idealized to being understood. A rejected manuscript is the recoil of the literary gun. Some men love their wives because they know they would be scalped if they didn’t. The happiness of duty is in every creed, but the duty of happiness is seldom taught. The faults of the devil are persistently exaggerated. The wounds of Love are quickest healed by another dart from his arrow. In contemplating what we do for others we frequently lose sight of what others do for us. Love and hate always remember; it is only indifference that forgets. The judicious combination of flattery and food is the open sesame to the masculine heart. MYRTLE REED, * But she refused you a month ago, when you told her you were worth a million dollars and would lay it all at her feet.” “She did.” “Then how did she come to change her mind ?” “IT marked my fortune down to nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars.” Ef ef OTH FROM HIS BETTER-HALF, Doctor YAnkea —" Have yo" evah taken gas befo’, suh 7" PECK: ““T haven't taken nufin’ but gas, suh--evah ql i WHAT HE SAID.
