‘LIFE: YAT SEISORS, AT NvLL§ &, 6 LJALF a beast is the great god Pan 1" A perfect prototype of man. And what the prototype of woman ? Why nothing even half-way human !—Racket, Henry was a bashful lover. He scarcely dared touch his lady's hand. He loved her well and she was worthy of his affection, for she was modest, intelligent, sweet and honorable, but like all good women she yearned for the respectful caresses that are the evidences of a pure affection, She, however, yearned in vain, Henry worshipped her—he might kiss the hem of her garment, but to kiss her lips or cheek—the very audacity of the thought made him tremble. ‘They sat together by the sea looking out on the track of the moon's light which white-winged yachts were crossing now and then : “Tt was a witching hour. A scene for Jove and calm delight.” Suddenly she moved slightly away from him, Please, Henry, don't do that,” she sa What }" he asked in genuine surprise, “Oh! you needn't tell me,” she replied. ‘* You were just going to put your arm around my waist—and you were going to try to kiss me.” “Dear Lillie" 1114 + Oh! you needn't tell me different ; you were going to do it, Well, after alt, I suppose you are not to blame,” It is just what a lover would do to his sweetheart, and I suppose I must riot be offended if you do do it.” And Henry grasped the situation and did exactly what Lillie sup- posed he would do, and the moon grinned and the stars winked, and the wavelets laughed, and a mosquito that was about to alight on the maiden’s cheek flew away and settled on the nose of a grass widow who was sitting near the band stand.— Boston Courter. Once. upon a time a Poor and Ragged Vagrant approached a portly and prosperous Citizen and asked for Alms. The Rich Man, having relieved his Necessities, asked the Vagrant how he became so poor, ‘Are you not able to work?” he said. “Alas, Hoss,” replied the Vagrant, ** you behold in me a Victim of Social Prejudice. ‘They point the Finger of Scorn 24J” at meand no Man will employ me.” ‘Why so?" inquired the Rich Man, whose Curiosity was now fairly aroused. _** What have you done ?"" “* Nothing," replied the Vagrant, “but I am cruelly persecuted for my honest Opinions. I am an’Infidel and a Socialist."* And he wept bitterly. The Rich Man was touched by his Distress. “* My Friend,” said he, “1 will let you into a Secret which may be of Benefit to you. I share your unpopular Opinions, but I call myself a Theosophist and_a Nationalist, and, as the People do not know the Meaning of those Terms, I am Rich and Respectable.” MORAL.
