 will be felt at the end of the year. Keifulate your 

 thoughts when not at study. A 111:111 is tliinking even

WO-MAN. 

 O woman: lovely woman ! Nature made thee 

 To temper man ; we had been brutes without you. 

 Angels are iiaiuted fair, to look like you : 

 There's iu you al! that we believe in heaven — 

 Amazing brightness, purity and truth. 

 Eternal joy and everlasthig \o\e.—'l himiOK Otimy. 



"What makes you look so glum, Tom?'' "Oh! 

 I had to endure a sad trial to my feelings-" " What 

 on eartli was it ?'' " Why, I hail to tie a pretty girl's 

 Ijonuet with lier mother looking on." 



I " I am a home missionary," onee observed a chris- 

 tian mother. "Six pair of little eyes are daily watch- 

 ing niy looks as well as listening to my words ; and I 

 wish my children never to see in me tiiat wliich they 



1 may not imitate." 



j An old writer says : "Head not books alone, but 

 I men, amongst them chiefly thyself. If thou findest 

 anything rpiestioiiable tlicrc, use the eoinmcntarv of 

 a severe friend rather tlian the gloss of a sweet-lipfiat- 

 terer ; there is more profit in a distasteful truth than 

 deceit ful sweetness . 



TO A FKIEXI). 

 'Tis many years since last we met ; 



We may not meet again ; 

 But this fond heart will never cease 



To love thee all the same. 

 No change of any kind will tend 



To make me love thee less ; 

 My fondest prayer for thee will \w — 

 Pure, perfect hai'piness. 

 When are stockings like dead men ? Wlien thev 

 are men-ded ; or perliaps when their soles are de- 

 parted ; or, again, when tliey arc all in holes : or 

 when they are in toe-toe ; or when they are past heel- 

 ing ; or when tlicy are no longer on tlieir last legs. 



"I would marry you, Jacob," said a lady to an im- 

 portunate lover, "were it not for three reasons." 

 "Olil tell me," he said, imploringly, "what they 

 are, tliat I may remove tliem !" " The first is," said 

 she, " I don't love you ; the second is, I don't want to 

 love you ; tlie third is, I couldn't love you if I wanted 

 to." 



A MAX in Boston, in his hurry to assist a fainting 

 lady, got a bottleof mucilage instead of camphor, and 

 bathed her face with it . She was a good deal stuck 

 up with his attention. 



Gathkk ye ruses while ye may, 



Old time is still a flying ; 

 And the same flower that smiles to-day. 

 To-morrow may be dying. 

 No DiFFEUEXi'E TO HiM. — A man saw a boy about 

 eleven years of age seatedonthe sidewalk bareheaded, 

 in the full blaze of the scorching sun. 



" Bub, you ought not to .sit there !" said the man. 

 "Why?" 



" Because j-ou'U get all tanned up." 

 " Makes no ditl'erenec to nic whether Isit inthcsuu 

 or the shade," sadly answered the boy, " Mother tans 

 me up three or lour times a day any how." — Exehaiuic. 

 The most original spelling we have ever seen is the 

 following. It beats plionetics: S(l you be— a tub. 80 

 oh : pea— a top. Be 80— bat. See SO— cat. Pea 80 

 — pat. AreSo- rat. See oh ! double you— cow. See 

 you bee — cub. See a bee— cab. Bee' you double tea 

 — butt. See a double ell — call. * 



It was a luinter who ])Crpetrated this double bar- 

 reled, breech-loading, pun-eonundrum: " Why is an 

 old man's farm in Texas like the focus of a sun-glass?" 

 " Because its the place where the sous raise "meat." 

 A GE.NTbEMAX of I'athcr diminutive size, according 

 to the ordinary law of compensation in such cases, 

 married a regular maypole of a partner, who over- 

 topped him by about two feet. As he led her up to 

 the altar, the minister lost his presence of miml and 

 called out, " Who bringeth this child to lie baptized?" 

 Decision- and promptitude, even though some- 

 times a man may err for want of due deliberation, 

 will in the long run more often conduce to success 

 than a slow judgment that comes too late. 



"Makiak," remarked one of the horny-handed 

 sous of toil to his wife, " 'Pears to me it takes a sight 

 o' calico ter make you a dress, these hard times. 

 Can't ycr economize with one o' them ar pull backs 

 the city gals wear?" It was then that Mariar fired 

 the bread-board at him and remarked that she wasn't 

 "going to stop the circulation of blood in her legs for 

 no bald-headed old penny-pincher. " 



" What's de occasion of dat big smoke over dar ?" 

 inquired one colored man of another at the market 

 yesterday. " Fire, sah," was the answer.' "And 

 what's de iicca6ioi}of de fire?'' " Combustshun." 

 "And what's combustshun?" " My friend," replied 

 the other, crossing his legs, "dar's heapsof things in 

 dis vyorld dat no nigger ever knowed or ever will 

 know", an' we'll change de subject to gooseberries."
