TRIFLES.
“Onljf a trifle /”
Oh maiden beware!
These trifles may build you
A mountain of care I
“Only a trifle!”
Young man pray reflect,
, Ere you aim that sure blow
To your own self-respect!
A trifle too young,
Or a trifle too old;
A tiifle too warm.
Or a trifle too cold;
A trifle too soon.
Or a trifle too late—
All or any of these.
May decide your own fate!
MARRYING.
There will be a great deal of marrying
and giving in marriage this Fall (notwith
standing every young man is so poor that
if salt was selling at 2} cents per bushel
one could not buy enough to pickle a
jay-bird). Indeed- the happy pastime
lias already become a serious one—in ex
tent only. We advise both sexes to be
on the alert—for just as certain as a snuf
fer to a candle, all the girls or all the
men, we don’t know which, will be mar
ried and out of the way before the year
is out. A war of extermination—in a
match-making sense—is going on, and
loneliness be unto those who do not feel
and acknowledge its influence. That
heads of families are wide awake, no one
can doubt who reads the following:
Mr. Smithson, (an improvement on the
name of Smith,) wished to take Miss
Brownly,(another improvement,) to the
opera. He had been on terms of intima
cy with the family for about five years
but “never spoke of love,” on the contra
ry, he had frequently declared his inten
tion of leading a bachelor life. One
morning he put his hand on the bell-han
dle and was admitted—
“Oh, James,” exclaimed Miss Jane,
“where have you kept yourself so long?”
This took Smithson a little aback, for
he had spent the preceding evening with
the family. Before he could answer,
liowever, Jane's brothers and sisters
(eight or ten in number) had gathered
about him. Summoning all his courage
he said:
“I have come to ask you—”
“Not here, James—not now—oh!”
“That is,” stammered Smithson, “if
you're not engaged—”
“Oh! oh.'' water—quick,” shrieked
Jane.
“What’s that,” inquired her father,
“who says she’s engaged?”
“I didn’t mean—” said Smithson, in
confusion.
“Of course not,” continued Mr. Brown
ly, “you couldn’t suppose such a thing,
when you have always been our favor
ite!”
Then advancing and taking poor Smith-
son’s hand, he .said:
“Take her, my boy, she’s a good girl,
•and loves you to distraction. May you
both be as happy as the days are long.”
Thereupon mother and children crowd
ed upon Smithson and wished him much
joy, and company coming in at the mo
ment, the affair was told to them as a
profound secret. So Smithson got a wife
wi'ihout popping the question, and almost
befoi-fche knew it himself. But we can
not help thinking he was hurried into
matrimony.

Waste no Time.
Time lost can never be regained. Af
ter allowing yourself proper time to rest,
don’t live a single hour of your life with-
ont doing exactly what is to be done in
it, and going straight to it from begin
ning to end. Work, play, study, what
ever it is, taka hold at once and finish
up squarely, and clearly; then to the
next thing without letting any moments
drop out between. It is wonderful to see
how many hours these prompt people
contrive to make of a day ; it is as if they
picked up the moments that the dawdlers
lost.
And if ever you find yourself where
you have so many things pressed upon
you that you hardly know where to be
gin, let us tell you a secret. Take hold
of the very first one that comes to band,
and you wull find the rest all fall into file,
and follow after, like a company cJ well-
drilled soldier.® ; and though work may
be hard to meet when it charges in a
squad, it is easily vanquished if you bring
it into line.
A Wager Paid.
The Columbia (Penn.) Spy relates this
story: “Five years ago two professional
gentlemen of our town, while in conver
sation, had an argument as to the proba
bility of a certain event transpiring with
in the next five years, A wager w'as the
result. An article of agreement was
drawn up, and the wager, a supper, to be
paid by the loser July 4, 1876. The
agreement was signed, and sealed, and
indorsed, ‘To be opened July 4, 1876,’
About a year after the wagei-, one of the
gentlemen died; the survivor, however,
kept the wager sacred, and on Tuesday
evening last, atone of oar hotels, sat
down to the supper. The table w'as spread
for two persons, and the whole arrange
ment made for two guests, but one chair
was vacant. In silence the memory of
the departed was toasted, and in silence
the supper was eaten.”
How He Seised the Stakes.
Andy Cummins was a cute ‘'Down
Easter”—a real live Yankee—always
ready for a joke, and hard to beat. He
was one day in a country bar room out
West, where several persons -were assem
bled, when one of them said :
“Yankee Cummins, if you will go out
and stick your knife in anything, when
you come back I’ll tell you what it’s
stickiu’ in.”
“You can't do no such thing,” respond
ed Cummins.
'T’ll bet ten dollars of it,” said the
other.
“Well, I rather guess I’ll take that ere
bet. Here, captain,” turning to the
landlord, “hold the stakes, and I’ll jist
make half a saw horse in less than no
time.’’
The parties deposited an X apiece, and
Cummins went on his mission, but in a
short time returned saying :
“Well, naber, ivhat is it sticken’ in ?”
“In the handle,” replied the Western
man, as he reached out his hand to take
the stakes.
‘‘Guess not—^jist wait awhile,” said
Yankee, as he held up the handle of the
knife minus the blade; “I kalkilate the
blade can t be in the handle, when its
driv clean up in an old stump aside of
yer road out thar.”
Cummins won the wag.u-.
