All the centuries of fussing and ' fuming with the weather have not Affected the weather one particle. I It still rains and snows and sleets j and blows, just as dictated by cir ! cumstances.

He would laugh himself there.

' One year ago, while clerk of the city court, he became ill, and his family despaired of his getting well. Brandeweide asked the physician to call his friends in and tell any ; g.Hid stories they might know. He also demanded that they allow him to have his plug of tobacco close at j hand, and mat lie be anoweu to drink a bottle of beer now and then.

'Twere better by far, as he sits on the pier, To fish in the waters so deep and so clear, Much better a cod, or its kith and its kin, Than cargo of ships that may never come in ! There's many a man in this life of pain Who's constantly building his castles in Spain, Erecting great towers and proud minarets, To house in the end only darksome regrets. 'Twere better by far, and there's less to repair, To build them of shingles instead of hot air. A cottage at Marblehurst-on-the-Gobang Will rent for more cash than chateau d'Espagne.

Xever think of self, but be ever on the alert to aid others. Show your helpful spirit to those around you, and in turn you will be pushed on, and will buy your love. Learn to say pleasant things and to think pleasant happy thoughts. Your face is the index of your mind, and what you think is vividly reflected there. Look on men and women as they were when innocent, be fore unfortunate heredity and sad troubles have made them into wrecks. Fity, but, do not condemn. Be ever cheerful. The sunny, hopeful woman is ever in re- .quest. Every door Hies open to her who has a cheering word and a bl ight smile. Never remember injuries.

"Oh, some day," said Whistler. "That won't do," I said. "We must have a date." So they both agreed that I ! should choose the day, what church i to come to for the ceremony, pro- j vide the clergyman and give the bride away. I fixed an early date and got the then chaplain of the house of commons, the Rev. Mr. Byng, to perform the ceremony. It took place a few days laser. After the ceremony was over we adjourned to the Whistler's studio, where we had prepared a banquet. The banquet was on the table, but there were no chairs. So we sat on packing cases.

Someone has sent me a boxful of green, With the spear-bloom all regal in purple-soft sheen; An odor of gardens, old gardens of song, Where roses recline and the daffodils throng; A boxful of mint from the shores of a stream Where the barefooted Summer sits down in her dream! Someone has sent me a whiff of the shine And the green of the vales that are sweethearts of mine; And glimpse of bright meadows, a gleam of sweet lane, And a heart in the land of the lilies again; A boxful of mint, full of dreams running over, With lilac and rose and the honey-sweet clover. It sits on my desk, and I see o'er its brim The spring by the hill with the green round its rim; The trees in their glory, the flowers in their grace, And love in the door with a smile on her face; A boxful of mint and good luck to the lass As I bruise the green joy on the brink of my glass I "No," she answered, "for I am only going to buy a new tooth brush and a new sponge, as one ought to have new ones when one marries.
