The bee it is a bustling bug, 
’Tis full of vim and hustle; 
But, then, alas! we often find 
A sting inside its bustle. 
—Philadelphia Record. 
‘ ‘ Cannot we become one ? ” he pleaded 
earnestly. “ That depends,” replied the 
new girl. “ Which one ? "—Life. 
By the time a woman has reached the 
age when she has reason to sigh and shed 
tears, sighs and tears are no longer be¬ 
coming to her .—Atchison Globe. 
Hk : “ My views of bringing up a 
family are—” She : “ Never mind your 
views, I’ll bring up the family. You go 
and bring up the coal .”—Halifax Herald. 
“ Look me in the face, sir.” lie raised 
his eyes timorously until they were 
directed to her countenance. “ Now, sir, 
deny, if you dare, that you married me 
for my money.” “It must have been your 
money,” he faltered .—Detroit Tribune. 
Mbs. Strongmynd : “Why do the 
judges in the higher courts wear gowns?” 
Mr. Mann : “ Well, it is thought that it 
adds dignity and impressiveness to the 
court.” Mrs. Strongmynd (disdainfully); 
“ Humph! Why don’t they wear bloom¬

Little Boy : “ How soon are you and 
Sis goin’ to be married ? ” Accepted 
Suitor: “She has not named the day

engagements.” Little Boy : “ She doesn't, 
I know, ’cause all her engagements has 
been short.”— Tid-Dits. 
“ Were you at the Commencement last 
night?” asked Taddells of Willies. “1 
was. Wasn’t Miss Senior’s essay on ‘ In 
Life’s Battles Aim High,’ a wonderfully 
fine production ? ” “It was indeed ; but 
I was more deeply interested in Miss 
Triwet’s essay on ‘ How to Make a 
Chicken Pot Pie.’ I heard that she re¬ 
ceived five proposals of marriage before 
she got out of the hall.”— Harper's Bazar.
