WHAT THE TROUBLE IS.
Think On These Matters. There
Is Much Truth In The Follow
ing. The trouble with ilu small girl
is thai she isn't hither.
TIk' trouble wiih the big girl is
thai every pair ol' seales she sieps
on gives her weigh.
The trouble w ith a great many
editors is that lliey ilon'i iliiuk one
half as ilu-y write.
Tlie trouble wiih ihe small boy
is that his big sister was never a
small boy herself and so she does
n't know how a small buy feels.
The trouble with the average
husband is that he knows his wife
t knows he isn't so big a man as he
! wains the world lo think he is.
! The trouble wiih almost all min-1
isters is that they don't hear other 1
i ministers preaeh often enough lo
know what really a lirst-elass
i bang up sermon is. 1
I lie trounie Willi a young man i
in love is that he is insane enough j
to think all other young men are j
making just as big fools of them-:
selves over their best girl as he is.
The trouble with the young wo
man in love is that she doesn't .
know whether she loves the young j
man for himself alone, for the ear
emels he brings or the prospect of !
a solitaire diamond 10 dazzle the i
other girls.
The trouble with the average
wife is that her husband is much
more prodigal wiih his protesta
tions of affection than he is with
his money, and thai he does not
waste much of cither unless he
wants a button sewed on.
WOMAN SCORED.
A man and his wife were once
staying ai a hotel when in the night i
they were aroused From their slum- j
bers by the cry that the hotel was
afire. 1
"Now, my dear," cried the hus
band, "I will pin into practice what
I have preached, l'ui on all your
indispensable apparel and keep :
cool."
Then he slipped his watch into ;
his vest pocket and walked with ;
his wife out of the hotel.
When all danger was past he ;
said :
"Now-, you see how necessary j
it is lo keep cool."
The wife for the first time
glanced at her husband.
"Yes, William," she said," "it
' is a grand thing, but if I were you
: 1 would have put on my trousers."
Boston Herald.
THOUGHTS.
I After all, depend upon it, it is j
belter to be worn oui with work
in a thronged community than to
perish inactive in a stagnant soli
: tude; take this truth into consider-
ation whenever you gel lired of
j work and hustle." Mrs. Gaskill's
j Life of V.. Bronte,
i "Whether thy work be fine or
coarse, plaining corn or writing
: epics, so only it lie honest work,
i done to thine own approbation, it
shall earn a reward to the senses
! as well as to the thought; no mat
ter how olten defeated, you are
born to victory. The reward of a
thing well done is to have done
ii." Lmersou.

THE DEAR
l-'rom the jaded horde of lie years gone by
That have passed lock-step from the goal of Time,
I can catch but dreams as the phantoms fly
And the ghosts move past in a rhythmic rhyme
Ah, the rose was sweet and the sky was clear,
And the brook swung on in its mystic. How,
In the dear, dead days of the boyish cheer
When 1 loved a maid in the long ago!
Oh, her lips were ripe as the ruddy peach
And her mouth was sweet as a watcrcore,
While her eyes were depths in the limpid reach
Of the deep, deep spring in the forest hoar I
Yes, her voice was thrilled by Apollo's reed
And her breath was scent of the lily sweet
In the fragrant morn when ihe buds are freed
And the day breaks Forth on its light-shod feet !
Ah, she loved me then in a true-blue way,
When 1 pulled her hair ai the village school;
For our hearts were pure and we vowed some day
We would take our plunge in the nuptial pool.
But the years sped on and the path forked wide
And the storms broke loose with their rifts of light
When the winds go down and the billows ride,
There is naught hut dreams in the fading night !
Oh, my sweetheart fair of ihe days gone by.
Of the days lock-stepped Iroin Ltcruiiy,
Let me dream of thee as ihe phantoms My
And the ghostly forms of the seasons llee,
For (he rose was sweet and the sky was clear
And the brook swung fair in the mystic flow.
In the dear, dead days of the boyish cheer
When I loved you true - in the long ago !
When the way is drear and the shadows crowd,
And the wolf on the track howls long and loud,
And the long, long lane shows never a bend,
Just say to yourself, "It will end, ii will end."
When the sun beams hot on the desert road,
And you wearily plod 'neaih your own hard load,
Jusi say to yourself as you stubbornly go,
"It will end some time, I know, I know."
When the world stands off' to your sob and moan;
And you face the foes of your faie alone,
When the lace of the crowd shows never a friend,
Just say to yourself, ' It will end, ii will end."
Il will end some time, ah heart, somewhere,
The weary march and ihe gaunt despair;
When the day slips down to the golden west,
And the tired heart finds iis rest, sweel rest.
CHAH(il:l) I MTO HIM.
The proprietor of the celebrated
mountain inn was showing the

The next time a storm rises see
thai you are standing on the porch
of the inn. Why, sir, the air is al
ways heavily charged."
"I don't doubt it," laughed the
new guest, winking ai another hue

be standing on the porch 1 can feel
assured that it will be heavily
charged anyway on my bill."

A man if he essays to make
coffee must devote his whole atten

A WIFE'S LASTINfi LOVE.
: Waited l orty Years l or the Ice
To (live l p Dead
The following tuuehing incident
of a wife's unchanging love is told
by C. II. Spurgeon in his autobi
ography: A married couple were crossing
one nl the great glaciers of ihe Al
pine regions when a fatal accident
occurred. The husband fell down
one nl the huge crevice, which
abound on all glaciers. The rope
broke, and ihe depth of the chasm
was so great that no help could be
rendered; nor ci mid the body be
recovered. ( Ivor the wife's an
guish at her Ions we must draw
the veil of her silence. Forty years
afterwards saw her, wiih the guide
who had accompanied iheui at the
lime of the accident, slaying
at the nearest hotel, ai the foot of
the glacier, wailing for the sea of
ice to give up iis dead, for by ihe
well known law of glacier progres
sion the form of her long lost hus
band might be expected to appear,
expelled from the mouth of the
torrent about that dale. Patiently
and with unfailing constancy they
watched and waited, and their
hopes at last were rewarded.
One day the body was released
from its prison in the ice, and the
wife looked again on ihe
features
of him who had been so long part-1
ed from her. Bui the pathos of
the story lay in the fact that she
then was an old woman, while the :
newly rescued body was that of;
quite a young and robust man, so .
faithfully had ihe crystal casket
preserved the jewel which it held
so long. The forty years had left
no wrinkles on that marble brow.
Time's withering f'nngers could not
touch him in that tomb, and so far
a few brief moments the aged lady :
saw ihe husband of her youth as
he was in the days w hich were
gone forever.
