RIGHT SORT.
The first thing she noticed as he en
tered the parlor was the unusual pallor
of his face, and she axiously asked :
"Arc you ill?''
"No."
"Heard any bad news?"
"No."
"Been frightened?"
"No."
"Then what is it ?"
"Nnothing."
"Ah ! Ileury, but you cannot deceive
me! Love's eyes are sharp. You arc
anxious and worried, but you need not
be. I have expected it."
'W-what?"
"That the McKinley bill would knock
our wedding into the middle of next
week."
"And you !"
"I'll wait fur you one thousand years
for all time until old Bill McKinley
has turned to dust, aud his dust been
absorbed by the pig-weeds of Ameiica."

HURRAH FOR VANCE.
Hurrah for A'ance ! we now shall hear
From mountains to seaboard ;
To all good men he is most dear
And should not be ignored.
The Tar Heels east to him will stick
As long as there is tar;
They saw him go through thin and thick
When he was iu the war.
The mountaineers will firmly stand
To him, their good old knight,
Who were with him in battle land
Aud saw he was all right.
Stand up, Vance, and show your head,
And that will surely do,
For you will always take the lead
Wherever you will go.
You need not mind Republicans,
What they will say of thee,
For they did speak as mean of girls
That they did not go to see.
The girls did hear some slanders that
They did not like a bit,
And toll the chaps to got their hat
And take the road and quit.
Yes, they did say, "clear out for home,
And that at double quick,
And il again you here will come
You will get old papa's stick."
Stand up, great Vance, for you are blest,
And that will surely do,
For you will always get the best
Wherever you will go.
Three times you were our Governor,
Then to the senate went,
Where you did stand Excelsior
In every good intent.
Back you will go to Washington
And fill your honored seat,
And wheu your statesman work is done
You still will be more great.
When you are tired then come home
And wear a hat of silk,
And you can dwell at your Gombroon
And drink good buttermilk.
