THE CARPENTER’S WOOING. 
“ Oh, beam of my life, my awl to me 1” 
He cried, bis flame addressing— 
“ If I’adze such a love as yours. 
I’d ask no other blessing!" 
I am rejolst to hear you speak,” 
The maiden said with laughter— 
•*For tho’ I hammer guileless girl, 
It’s plane what you are rafter; 
Now, if hie love yon just a bit. 
What further will you ax me 7 
Can—will you bo content with that, 
Or will you further tacks me 7” 
He looked bandsaw her words were square- 
“ No rival can displace me— 
Yes, one more favor I implore. 
And that is, dear Em, brace mo 1” 
THE SEQUEL. 
She came full chisel to hla arms; 
It really made him stair 
To have her make a bolt for him 
Before he could prepare. 
He tried to screw his courage up, 
And did his level best 
To nail the matter then and there. 
While clasped unto her breast, 
Says he: *' It augers well for me. 
All seems to hinge on this; 
And what is Mortise plane to see, 
The pprch child wants a kiss.” 
He kissed her Up, he kissed her cheek, 
And called her his adoored— 
He dons bis claw-hammer next week. 
And she will share his board.

What is Love ?—At a friendly gathering at 
Holland House the conversation turned on love. 
Tom Moore compared it to a potato, because 
“it shoots from the eyes.” “Or rather,” ex¬ 
claimed Byron, “ because it becomes less by 
paring." 
A widow, whose husband's artistic percep¬ 
tions bad caused his house to be elegautly fur¬ 
nished, married his brother. When her visitors, 
after the second marriage, complimented her 
upon the beauty of her house-furnishing, she 
answered, “Ob, yes, my dear brother-in-law 
had such exquisite taste." 
A little boy in a Sunday-Bchool put a poser 
to his teacher. The lady was telling her class 
how God punished the Egyptians by causing 
the first-born of eaoh household to be slain. 
The little boy listened attentively. At the prop¬ 
er interval he mildly inquired : “What would 
God have done if there had been twins ?”— Inde¬ 
pendent. 
“ That young lady tried her best to catch 
your husband before you married him,” re¬ 
marked one lady to another, aB a mass of curls 
and braids, flounces and overskirt passed the 
window at which they were sitting. “ I wish to 
Heaven Bhe’d got him!” was the quiok reply, 
and then a dead silence fell upon the two, and 
wonders iu eroohet-work were accomplished in 
the next half bocr. 
Her Answer.— “What,” the young man ask¬ 
ed the young woman who was waiting for him to 
ask for his hat, “what do I put you iu mind of ?” 
“A French clock," she said softly. And pretty 
soon he arose and went hiB way. The next 
morning he oalled upon an eminent horologist 
and asked him what was the distinguishing trait 
of a French clock. The horologist said, “Why, 
it never goes.” And the young man was sorely 
cast down, and he grieved and told no man of 
his hurt.' 
One night last week, at a party in Toronto, a 
young man was frightening some of the young 
ladies by his daring exhibition of a revolver, 
when the weapon was accidentally discharged, 
the bullet entering the young man’s side, in- 
floting a serious wound. We have said a great 
many harsh things about these young men whose 
revolvers contain more than their heads, but we 
retract everything now. At last a revolver has 
been found that kuows whioh man to shoot.—

Children are very apt to think a great deal 
more of an illustration than of the truth it was 
intended to illustrate. A teacher once en¬ 
deavored to illustrate faith thus; “Children, 
it I should tell you that one day I saw a mon¬ 
key climbing a liberty pole, would you believe 
me?” “Yes, sir,” unanimously. “ Well, that is 
faith; you believe me because I say it, and you 
feel that 1 would not tell an untruth.” The 
next day the question was asked of the same 
children. *‘ What is faith?” “A menkey climb¬ 
ing a liberty pole,” answered.a quick little boy.

CATARRH 
"IT IS REALLY A LUXURY TO USE IT.” 
95 Chambers St., N. Y.. Aug. 15, 1878. 
Mr. N. B. Piielps.— Dear Sir: Last winter, 
While suffering severely from Catarrh, which al¬ 
most unfitted me for business, I happened to 
notice a circular of your Norwegian Balm. I 
thought i would try it, although I had used 
every Catarrh remedy I had heard of without 
receiving much, if auy. benefit; and I am 
pleased to say that I received immediate re¬ 
lief from the use of your Balm. All obstruc¬ 
tions were soon removed, which immediately 
relieved me of the headache; the soreness 
gradually’ passed away, and the discharges 
grew less, uutil now I am seemingly perfectly 
well. I still continue to use the Balm, it is so 
soothing and cleansing. 
It is really a luxury to use it. especially 
when the head feels dry and feverish. 
Respectfully, R. W. BYRON, 
Book-keeper for E. 8. Dodge Printing Co.

N. B. Phelps, Esq.— Dear Sir: It gives me 
g reat pleasure to add my experience to your 
st of testimonials, of the soothing and heal¬ 
ing effects of your Nouwegian Balm as a 
Catarrh remedy. It is such a great relit.f to 
me to use it, especially through the Fountain, 
that I desire ail those who are afflicted with 
that unpleasant aud annoying disease to know 
of the great relief it brings. It cleanses the 
nasal passages of all mucous matter, and 
leaves the head as clear as a bell, without the 
usual irritating exertions. 
I am sure llmt if those suffering with the 
Catarrh will give your Balm a trial, they will 
not be without it. The liability of spilling 
the Balm and soiling the clothing is entirely 
obviated by using your Cbeek-Spriug ou the 
tube to the Fountain. Tbe slightest pressure 
regulates the flow of the Balm. Nothing 
could be more simple or effectual. 
Respectfully, DANIEL R. PRATT.
