(ian it be that her caresses have be come irksome to him at last ?" said a hgart.broken young pullback to her "Mteddy company" the other evening, as thedatter seemed inclined to remove 4iDeoigin~g form from his breast. "Your Algernon is all right." said the youth, with an uneasy squirm, "but ifjo. don't let up a minute, Matilda, 'ipral of miy stud will come out through. my backbone, sure." I could never thinik well of:a mau's intefle tial'or moral character if he was,habitually untaithful to his ap pointments. Established) (Unchanged 1857. J 1879 M. FOOT & SON.

STEAM MILL, MACHINE, BLACKSMITH AND WHEELWIRIGHT WORK( DONE QUICKEY AND CHEAPLY. ~- on le~4 ~optworkmen WIT AND HUMOUR A strong-minded woman will always be speaker of the house. Women's tears are always cousin' thro' their eye. Even the bootblack says his busi ness is brightening up. A sociable man is one who, whe he has ten minutes to spare, goes and bothers somebody who hasn't. Be magnanimous. If the btt at your boarding-house is stronge than you are, don't tackle it. A young poetess pathetically i quires, "Can love die ?" We don think it can, but it is occasional] love sick. A man knocked a billy goat's head off, and remarked to a friend that he thought he had "bust the button' off.' To be interestiDg a speaker shoul be full of his subject, unless he hap pens to be speaking against liquor. Says a sententious writer, "No ma is born wise." Just so. If he wer wise, he wouldn't care to be born, probably. The amount of pin-money required by the married woman depends on whether she uses diamond pins or roll ing-pins. It is hard to say which is the most crushed. The wife's new bonnet, or the unfeeling husband who sat down upon it. An Irish editor speaks of a child run over by a wagon three years old, being cross-eved and having on pan telettes at the time wbich never spoke afterward. When a woman finds she canuot af ford a new dress, she economizes by spending as much as it would have cost in buying ribbon to cover the old one up with bows. The editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin s3ys for his part he wants to see the wife of the Cardiff Giant. The Buffalo Express hopes that his in tentions are honorable. A pretty little maiden had a pretty little fan; She engaged in a flirtation with an ugly little man. He won her affections which she gave to him for life, But the honeynoon was busted by the fel'er's other wife. "Father" said a wistful lass, about sixteen years of age, "I kizow some thing about grammar, but I cannot decline matrimony, nor see the reason why myself and Gilbert cannotr be conjugated." Minnie 0. Ballard, in a poem, asks; 'Would you love mue as well, true heart, had I a fa'ce le.<s fair ?' If .5on h:;ve 850,000O in bank, Minnie, -a eh.'nge of face will uot dampen the ardor of his love-but don't encorage a boil to sprout on your Grecian nose to try him. They not only disfigure the beauty to an alarming degree, but they are also very painful.
