* LIFE: C}SSORS AT NVLL ANT S°ISSORS AT NLL CHRISTIAN CONSOLATION, OW seldom do our dreams come true! The very thing our fancy lets Us hope in time will be our own Some other fellow always gets. We fall in love ; the mind’s diseased, ‘The brain is in a foolish whirl; And while we worship from afar Some other fellow gets the girl. Ah! what a torment life would be If we were of the hope bereft That in some fairer world than this That other fellow would get left! Somerville Journal, A Max, last Sunday, was about to lay his hand upon the door of the church, when a little girl in the street said : 't get in there, mister.” he said, ‘isn’t this a church 2” * Yes,” said the little girl, **but the preacher has gone to Europe for six months, and taken God with him."—Detroit Tribune, “ HaNwan,” she began, as she called the girl into the sitting-room, “haven't I always used you well ?” “ Yes'm,” “Paid you the highest wages and given you many afternoons out?" “+ Yes'm.” “Well, then, I want to ask you a question and receive an honest answer.” “Oh, ma'am, I'm going to quit! Yes, I'll go right off 1" “Going to quit? Why?” “« Because I feel that you are going to ask me if your husband and me were riding on the ferryboat together the other day, and I couldn't tell you, I promised him on my sacred word I wouldn't.” —Detroit Free Press. Dasiey: Queer things people discover when they are living at boarding-houses, At dinner at my boarding-house, yesterday, I stuck my fork into a piece of pie and brought up a collar button that I lost a week ago. SNaccs: That's nothing. I lifted off the top of my strawberry shortcake at my boarding-house, yesterday, and what do you suppose there was in it? it up. A silk umbrella, perhaps. ;_ strawberries. w, what are you giving me ?—Boston Visitor: So your sister is off on a visit, Willie? I suppose you feel very lonesome without her ? Five-YEaR-oLD WILLIE (dudvously): Ye-es, I feel lonesome, but —I'm a good deal more comfortable.— Chicago Journal. COMFORTABLE and ELEGANT. For Sale by Leading Dealers.
