as we were in a nooth water. Then came
the rough Atlantic, and the need of

berth for hours, wretchedly ill, and past
caring for anything, when there came
the steward and stood beside me.
"Your biil, sir,'' said he, holding out
piece of paper.
"I have no money," said I, in my
wretchedness.
Then I shall keep your luggage.

"I can run an engine like pipa," said

The engine lies over an hour at St.

ring this time, while Mr. Evans was at
home at lunch, little Fred walked down
to the engine, mounted the seat and
oncned the throttle wide. The machine
was full of coal and water, and was ready
for the road. Sjvcral people saw the

Many simple people, who obtain mar

the clerk in Bouie way becomes rei-poosive
foi their marriage, an! that they are lu
duty bound lo report to bim afterward
and let him keep track of their affaiis.
A Salt Like City paper reports that a
tall, gaunt womao, with ginger hair and
a somewhat fierce expression of counte

Theie is no love between equals.
Women ire only as old as they look.
Love is not only a sentiment; it is an j
art.
Vanity is the most tenacious of all
habits.
Generous souls sre defective io business

Woman understands all things through
love.
All human power is
time sod patience.
Love is the only passion which looks
to neither past nor future.
The savage has feelings only; iho civil-

selves for them.
If society gives us pillows she makes it
up by gout; just as she puts up law to
modify justice.

Love is like apple pie; the home-made
kind is the best. The other always has
a lot of seeds and pieces of the core in
it.
