Way of Courting. "Courting?" Why, bless you, ; my bny, the yoima fellows of to- : day do not know the meaning of, i thai word ! When a young man , ! would walk live or ten miles i ihrongh the snow nr rain and mud, I free.e his ears and lingers, and : I'aee (he danger of wildcats, to see his girl, and (hat loo in the general living-room with the family, he ; j was entitled to admit that he was ' cotiriing. And that was the rule, j j not the exception. The young j j fellows would siart out Sunday i afternoon to sec their sweethearts, j ' and no weather was too had to I I keep them home. It might he too j j cold or too muddy to take out a ! ' horse; but in that case he would go ! on foot, and he would go through as much hardship to see his girl as I did the knights of old to rescue ; fair maids in castles bold. But it I was his devotion, his courting; and when he won that girl he stuck to her through thick and fliin, through good report and evil I report, obeying the Scriptural in- junction that what God has joined ! together no man should pin asun der. There were no marriages ot convenience and few hasty mar riages then. The courting was long and there were no divorces to follow. The young people might meet often at the singing school, or the dance, or the husk ing bee; but these did not take the place of regular courting. The courting was on Sunday night and the young man went re ligiously lo see his girl and re mained so until midnight with the object of his affection, even though her father and mother and the i younger children were present to j share the visit; and when he went I home, either through the storm or j j under the bright starlight, he i walked the earth as conqueror, for ! he had been in presence that to ! him represented the real poems of ! life. He had been courting ! And ! that is all we need, to bring safe ! and sane ideas to marriage court- , c mg-courting in me true sense ot the word, the man seeking, if not , serving, like Jacob, seven years ' for the object of his affection. Then i he will stick to her and she to him 1 through life. There are some old j fashions that have not been im ' proved upon, and one of them is the old way of courting.

I Here is a story of the humorous landlord: j A boarder complained to the ! proprietor of the hotel that he had ! found hair in the ice cream, hair ; in the honey, ana hair in the apple sauce. "That is queer, said the j proprietor. I he hair in the ice cream must have come from shav ing the ice, the hair in the honey must have come from the comb, I but I cannot understand how the 1 hair got in the apple sauce, for I picked the apples myself, and they were all Bald-wins."

Hang out the sign; Call every traveler here to me; Who'll buy this brave estate of mine, And set me from earth's bondage free: ' l is going ! yes, 1 mean to fling The bauble from my soul away: I'll sell it, whatso'er it bring The World at Auction here to-day ! It is a glorious thing to see- Ah, it has cheated me so sore ! It is not what it seems to be; Fur sale ! It shall be mine no more. Come, turn it o'er and view it well I would not have you purchase dear; 'Tis going ! going ! I must sell : Who bids? who'll buy the splendid Tear? Here's wealth in glittering heaps of gold Who bids? But let me tell you fair, A baser lot was never sold Who'll buy the heavy heaps of care ? And here, spread out in broad domain. A goodly landscape all may trace; Hall, cottage, tree, field, hill and plain; Who'll buy himself a burial place ! Here's Love, the dreamy potent spell That beauty flings around the heart; I know its power, alas ! too well 'Tis going Love and I must part ! Must part ? What can I more with Love All over the enchanter's reign: Who'll buy the plumeless, dying dove An hour of bliss, an age of pain ! And Friendship rarest gem of earth (Whoe'er hath found the jewel his?) Frail, fickle, false and little worth Who bids for Friendship as it is ! 'Tis going ! going '.Hear the call: Once, twice, and thrice ! 'tis very low ! 'Twas once my hope, my stay, my ail But now the broken staff must go ! Fame ! Hold the brilliant meteor high; How dazzling every gilded name ! Ye millions, now's the lime to buy ! How much for Fame? (f.) How much for Fame? Hear how it thunders ! Would you stand On high Olympus, far' renowned Now purchase, and a world command ! And be with a world's curses crowned ! Sweet Star of Hope with ray to shine In every sad foreboding breast, Save this desponding one of mine Who bids for man's last friend and best ! Ah, were not mine a bankrupt life, This treasure should my soul sustain; But Hope and I are now at strife, Nor ever may unite again. And Song ! For sale my tuneless lute; Sweet solace, mine no more to hold; The cords that charmed my soul are mute, I cannot wake the notes of old ! Or e'en were mine a wizard shell, Could chain a world in rapture high; Yet now a sad farewell ! farewell ! Must on its last faint echoes die. Ambition, fashion, show, and pride I part from all forever now; Grief, in an overwhelming tide, Has taught my haughty heart to bow, Poor heart ! distracted, ah, so long And still its aching throb to bear How broken, that was once so strong; How heavy, once so free from care. No more for me life's fitful dream Bright vision, vanishing away ! My bark requires a deeper stream: My sinking soul a surer stay. By Death, stern sheriff': All bereft, 1 weep, yet humbly kiss the rod, The best of all 1 still have left My Faith, my Bible, and my God. . JUDGE NOT. How do we know what hearts have vilest sin ? How do we know? Many, like sepulchres, are foul within, Whose outward garb is spotless as the snow. And many may be pure we think not so. How near to God the souls of such have been. What mercy secret penitence may win How do we know ? How can we tell who sinned more than we? I low can we tell ? We think our brother walked guiltily, Judging him in sell'-righieousness. Ah, well ! Perhaps had we been driven through hell Of his untold temptations, we might be Less upright in our daily walk than he How can we tell? Dare we condemn the ill that others do? Dare we condemn ? Their strength is small, their trials not a few,. The tide of wrong is difficult to stem. And if to us more clearly than to them Is given knowledge of the great and true, More do they need our help and pity too Dare we condemn ? God help us all and lead us day by day God help us all ! ,We cannot walk alone the perfect way. Evil allures us, tempts us, and we fall. We are but human, and our power is smalf, Not one of us may boast, and not a day Rolls o'er our heads but each hath need to say, God bless us all ! TREASURES UNAPPRECIATED. ! ! FATF OF THE WOS LD. The Leading Citizens of Syracuse Are Types of Us All. Four Ways in Which Our Planet Mav Come to an End. When Cicero, the noted Roman orator, was sent by the Roman government as its representative ! to the ancient city of Syracuse, he i was met by its distinguished citi-' zens who oll'ered to conduct him ; to whatever place of interest he j should desire to go. He replied that he would like best of all to visit the tomb of Archimedes. The leading citizens were nonplussed, j They did not know that Archi medes was buried in their city and : very likely did not know who he i was, as he had been dead for more ; than a century. Cicero had read 1 a description of his tomb, marked j by certain geometrical solids carved i in stone. At last by these marks j the tomb was found, overgrown j with briars and weeds. i j The leading citizens of Syracuse 1 are types of us all. We are so im-1 mersed in our petty concerns that we are ignorant of many treasures that lie buried at our feet or un buried but neglected not far away. There are treasures of natural science that some minds might un earth, to the great benefit of all mankind. What has been done is by no means all and perhaps only a small part of what can be done. There are treasures of Bible knowledge that can be brought forth to the enriching of all who will make them their own. Who is there that is an attentive student of the Book that does not find these treasures gleaming upon him as he pores over the Sacred Volumn ? There are doubtless treasures of art, creations of perennial beauty, not yet conceived but still possible to the creative genius of man. The world is full of wonderjul and glorious possibilities. How much is there for which to live ! i One feels that eternity alone is sufficient to reveal all the treasures i of God. The earth and all its inhabitants ! are doomed inevitably to destruc tion according to Professor Perci val Powell, who declared that one of four possible fates awaits this planet and everything on it. A tramp star might strike the earth, 1 he said, and grind it and its people ! to powder or ride full tilt into the sun, when the earth's living crca-' tures would be scorched to death. Tidal friction, by its gradually re tarding force, might paralyze the ; earth's motion so that one side ol , the globe would be eternally baked ' by the sun and the other side for- j ever trapped. This has already j happened to Mercury and Venus. By the loss of all water and air through depletion or absorption the earth might become a dry, de siccated mummy of a planet, wan dering lifelessly through space. Mercury, again, is an example of this, and so is the moon. The most sure death of all, however, as depicted by Professor Lowell, is the decay and freezing of the sun, which is certain to occur some time. When the last flicker is ex tinct that gigantic ball, bereft of all radiance and warmth, and its re tinue of inert, dark tramps, among them the earth, will drift about awaiting collision with some other planetary derelict, which would mean at once destruction and a new birth.

A smile is frequently used to conceal a vacuum. If it is a broad smile, however, it defeats its purpose. If ydur newly married incnds insist upon your holding the baby, grab the infant firmly by the back of the neck and smile. The par ents will remove the child at once. If your dinner partner is talking over your head, smile. H: will probably grow uncomfortable im mediately and change the subject. If your rival appears to be cut ting you out with the only girl, smile. This will rouse her suspi cions at once, and she will devote the rest of her time trying to find out who "that girl" is. A smile is a handy tiling to have round, even when it is as broad as it is long. It may square a long standing grievance. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Wooden and Willonnaic. Etc.
