A GIRL'S ESSAY ON HOYS.
Boys are men that have not got
as big as their papas, and girls are
women that will be ladies by-and-by.
Man was made before wo
man. When God looked at Adam
He said to Himself: "Well, I think
1 can do better if I try again."
And He made live so much belter
than Adam that there have been
more women than men.
Boys are a trouble. They wear
out everything but soap. If I had
my w ay hdf the world would be
girls and the rest dolls. My papa
is so nice that I think he must have
been a little girl when he was a lit
tle boy.
Man was made, and on the sev
enth day he rested. Woman was
then made, and she has never
rested since.
REVERSIBLE PLATI-'ORM.
Good spring advice: ' Don't
make a garden if your neighbor
keeps hens and don.t keep hens if
your neighbor makes a garden.

It is not only an iiiv.v!u.iting tonic
for a torpid liver, hut it cxleuds its
cleansing and restorative iiulueiu'tf
to the stomach and bowels. Helps
digestion and lood aii.iniilation,
purities the bowels and bnm;s back
the habit of regular daily bowel
movements. When the stomach,
liver and bowels are active, bilious
impurities no longer obstruct func
tional processes, the result of which
is renewed energy, mental activity
and cheerful spirits.

4 A TIME FOR ALL TMNfiS.
The World HinRes On Little
Things.
Timeliness is as important as
fitness. The right thing may be
come wrong unless it is done at
the right time. Look well lo the
lime of doing anything. If your
wife looks worried and worn out,
be sure it is not the time to tell her
that dinner is not hot or that the
bread is sour. Comfort her; cheer
her up. Use the ten thousand
little stratagems you were wont
to handle so skilfully in the old
days to bring out the smiles
around her lips. If you're annoy
ed or vexed at people, just remem
ber it is not the right lime to speak.
Close your mouth. Shut your
teeth together firmly, and it will
save you many a useless and un
vailing regret, and a many bitter
tear. If you happen to feel a
liule cross, and who among us do
not at one liiiK another, do not
select that time for reproving your j
noisy household Hock. A word
spoken in passion will make a scar
that a summer of smiles can hard
ly heal over. If you are a wife,
never tease your husband when he
conies home, weary from his day's
business. It is not the right lime.
Do not ask him for expensive out
lays when he has been talking hard
times. It is, most assuredly, the
wrong time. If he has entered
upon an undertaking against your
advice, do not seize on the mom
ent of its failure to say, "I told
you so" In fact it is never the
right time for these four monosyla-
bles. Oh, if people only knew how
to discriminate between the right
time and the w rong, there would
be less domestic unhappiness, less
estrangement of the heart. The
greatest calamities that overshadow
our lives have sometimes their
germ in mailers as apparently
sligh as this. If you would only
pause, reader, before the slinging
taunt, or the biting sneer, or the
unkind seoll passes your lips just
pause long enough to ask
WHAT GRANDMOTHER WORE.
They arc saying mean things to our faces
111 the ititii liule hats that we wear,
I he tlii .e lining toques, and the turban-.,
I hat keep all lite dust from the hair,
But do ihcy remember the bonnets,
The coal scuttle bonnets of yore,
All loaded with feathers and llowers,
The bounds our grandmothers wore ?
I lie funny cartoonists ate Haying
The shot i, narrow skirt ol today,
Escaping the germs on the pavement
In wait to be carried away,
Just think ol the flounces and scallops,
The gathers behind and before.
The yards that went sweeping the gutters,
In the dresses our grandmothers wore.
The delicate shoulders uncovered,
And boards in the fronts of their stays,
Were some of the tortures that custom
Decreed in our grandmothers' days,
A waist that was squeezed like a lemon,
Pantalets coming down to the floor,
And hoops, were a few of the fashions
Our foolish young grandmothers wore.
Do you doubt that the world is progressing,
And scott at our latter-day clothes ?
Then go up to the trunks in the garrei
Where garments discarded repose,
Put on all the finery faded,
The pcnicoais, too, by the score,
And walk if you can, in the bundles
Of dry goods our grandmothers wore.
WHIPPOtjRWILL.
O! whippoorwill, please hush, you make me lonesome
Tor cool, still woodlands, and the close of day
In forests dim, where once I wandered, dreaming,
In mossy paths where children love to play.
When youth, and visions bright, my soul entwining,
Chased gloom away, and when the sun declining,
Turned home my footsteps
Then I heard, from over vale and hill
That call of yours : Whippoorwill, O! whippoorwill.
Soft mists a-rolling up from lowland meadow
Bring breaths of springtime fragrance in their trail,
The crescent moon slow sailing far above me
And silver stars set in the azure pale,
The wild flowers, dew-wet, round my feet upspringing.
The crickets chirp, so merry, keen and shrill.
I hear your voice above them all a-calling,
Whippoorwill. O! whippoorwill.
The darkles round the cabin doors are resting,
And one says, "Heah dat bird? Now, sho's you born,
Dis springtime here is jes' a fairly flyin,'
'Tis time ole marster had us plantin' corn."
Old master has for many years lain sleeping,
The darkies are forgotten. But you still
Bring all the loved scenes back to me whenever
1 hear you calling: Whippoorwill, O! whippoorwill.
