Wanted-A Little -girl.
Where have they gone to -the little
girls,
With niatral smianners and natitral
curls? t1ntra
Who love their dollies and like their
toays.
A nd talk of something besides the boys?
Little old w'ouie iIn plenty I fn14,
Mature In miminers and old of mind ;
Little old flirts who talk of their 'beais'
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old belles, who, at nine ar-A tenl,
Are sick of pleasure and tired of mien,
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sin.
once, in the beautiful long ago,
some dear little children I used to k now
Girls who were nerry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong
day.
They thought not at all of the 'style'
of their clothes, -
'They iiever imagined that boys were
'beaux'
'Other girls brothers' and 'mates' were
they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where lave they gone ? if you see
One of themn,anyw1ere, send 'er to ine.
I would give a nedal of pnrest gold
'To one of those dear little glse of old,
With an innocent heart and an open
smile,
Who knows not. the meaning of 'firt
or 'style.' lEila Wheeler.

'It is me, Judge !'
'This is the third time you have
appeared here within six mouths.'
'It is, sir.'
'I warned you, iJulia.'
'You did, honey.'
'And now it's thirty days for
vou.'
'I expected it honey. J udges are
like other folks, and must have
their way once in a while. I'm
g*)ing-good bye-I'm gone!'
'Henry Williams, why did you
pound your wife?'
'Kase she sassed me, sah.'
'Ifryou should sass her woual I
she have the right to pound you "'
'No, sah.'
'All on one Bide you see, Ilhnry.'
'Yes,. sah.'
'i'm going to give you a vac:t
tion for thirty days.'
'D~oan' want it, sah.'
'But you'll have to take it.'
Henry fell to the floor in what
seemed to be a fit, but when he
heard 'em talk of electricity to
work a cure hie arose to his feet,
howed humbly to the court, and
fel1 back with the remuark :
'Concluded to go, sab. 1 needs
rest an' fresh air, an' I'ze much
obleeged, sah.'
-A young man who held a
loaded pistol to his head and
threatened to blow his brains out,
unless the girl who had refused
him would consent to have him,
was coolly told by the y'oung lady
he would have to blow some
brains into his head first. Hie
didn't blow.
