There's a jolly Saxon proverb , That is pretty much like this, That a man is half in Jleaven When lie has a woman's kiss ; But there's danger in delaying? j And tiie sweetness may forsake it; ,?So 1 tell you, bashful lover, | if you want a kiss, why take it. i Never let another fellow I .Steal a march on you in this; i ? - I 1 : ^\CVL'r ICl U UUI^IIIII^ 111 it Ml VII See you spoiling for a kiss; jThere'su royal w:i v to kissing, And the jolly ones who make it j Have a motto ihat is winning? If you want a kiss, why take it! Any fool may face a cannon, Anybody wear a crown, But a man must win a woman, If he'd have her for his own ; j Would you have the golden apple, You must lind the tree and shake it,; If the thing is worth the having. And you want a kiss, why take it. Who would burn upon a desert, With a forest smiling by ? Who would give his sunner summer For a bleak and wintry sky ? Oh ! I tell you there is niagie, And you cunnot, cannot break it: i For the sweetest part of loving ! Is to want a kiss, and take it. John Ofi'dcu'js Last Bet, ! c I John Ogden had contracted a (Very had habit?a dangerous and j si n t*u i habit. Had any one suggested to him a game ot cards to.be played for money J:e would ;not |have listened; and yet he was growing.to be a gambler notwithstanding. Ilis sin was that of betting, and it had so grown upon I him that he would not bet upon the result of things most trivia! or [ most grave. lie was a young man, i not more tlian eignt-anu-iweniy, 'with a wife and two children?a wife true and loviug, and children J'bright and good. And Tohn was a good, kind husband, and an eventempered, indulgent father. He | was a book-keeper in a mercantile house, upon a salary more than sufficient for all his proper wants.^. John Ogden's betting had come to be a matter of emphasis and determination. The habit had ?o fastoned itself upon him that lie could bet .off hand, atid .pay a loss, or take a winning, as a matter ol course. "Susau," he said, one evening, with radiant face,'4I have won fifty dollars to-day." ull<>w?" asked the wife, with a shadow upon her face. ''I lu't fifty dollars that Popkins ! would be elected over Shumwav, I '' and Popkins was elected, handsomely." ''Whom did you bet with, John?" "With Charles Ashcrott." "And you took his fifty dollars?" ' - ? i ? ^ l 1 i i T *: "Certain ly,?wny snouiun t 1: lie fairly lost." 'And you, I suppose, fairly won,3 "Ot course I dicl." "And do you think Charles Ashcroft was able to bear the loss ?" "That isn't my look-out." "I am sorry, John. I wish you would put away that habit. Onl^ evil can come of it." "Pshaw !" ''Evil has already come, John Your heart is growing callous anc hard. Time was when you could j not have taken fifty dollars from i poor and needy family without i feeling of shame and compunction.' "Hold on, Susan! I don't wan [another lecture. I know what j am up to. You don't know S( much of the world as I do." And with this, John Ogdcn too} his hat and went out?went on j like a coward, knowing that if hi entered into argument with his wife she would ttfist him into , .labyrinth from which he could onh j escape by an angry bolt. ) iliilt' an hour later Peter Cart wright came in. lie was a year o two older than John, and was Su san's cousin?only a cousin* b; ' ' i ? ? ii ? L? .1 i i _r j diooci, uui as uiey iihu uuuu uruu?n lip from early childhood togetfie ; they were like brother and siste ?* j in life and love. Peter sat down 3'and chatted awhile, and found hi cousin not so cheerful as usual. "You are not well, Susan ?" "I am well iu body, Peter, bu - sore at heart." ''What is it ?" "I fear not to speak to you freely I am worrying about John. Ili hal?it of betting is taking deepe land deeper root. To-day lie ha won iiity dollars from Charles Ash [croft on the resut of an election I Last week he won forty dollars oi J the race-course. I know his torn hperament. IIo is headstrong ati< j impulsive. Can you not see th danger?" (j "Yes, Susan, I have seen it thi j-: long time, but have not (tareu t 'speak of it.

' j '*1 wish I could; hut I fear h ! would not listen." Cartwright took out his watel a.'id said he must he going. II Intel left a friend at the Ashto c House, and must go back to bin "I came down," he added, "t ' get John to call up with him. Yo ^ remember Frank Powers?" "Certainly, said Sutan, with brightning eye. "I was reading c him in the paper last night. II has been made a Colonel." ''Yes," returned Peter, "and hi come home mim5': an arm, lost i T " \ Antietam." "I should like to see him." "lie shall call. lie will be glad, I know." Peter had arisen, and got as far as the door, where he stopped and turned. "Susan," he said, "I have an > idea. Isn't John saving up money with which to pay off the mortgage on his house ?" "Yes. He has almost enough. The mortgage is eleven hundred and fifty dollars, and he has a thousand of it in the bank." % 1 _ i "Don't say anything to mm tnai I have been here, and say nothing about Colonel Powers." "But?Peter?" "Trust me, Susaw. I think I see a way to giv^'liim a lesson. Hold your peace and await the result." On the following day Peter Cartwrigt met.John Ogden in the store and informed him of the arrival of Colonel Powers. "And he wants to see you, old fellow. Will you go up with me this evening?" "Certainly I will," replied John, gladly. "How is he?" "Comfortable, considering. He has had a hard time of it, though. Yon know he had lost an arm !" UI heard of his' being wounded at A n tie tarn. And so the arm had 1 .to come off.?" "Yes." "Which?" "Excuse me, John. I have an appointment to keep at the bank. I will call forjou this evening." "A 11 right. I'll be ready." And in the evening Peter called, and together the two went to the J hotel. They lounrt uoi. rowers in his private room, seated in a big easy chair, and looking somewhat pale and worn. 'Frank, my dear fellow, how are you?' cried John, advancing. 'John, old bo), I am glad to see you. You'll excuse me not rising. [ am pretty well, hut not so strong as I have been.' 'Keep your seat, Frank. I a.m j glad to see yon hackaUve; and I'm ! jsure you ll pieK up in uuiu. j The empty coat-sleeve, dangling over the arm of the chair, was elo-! mlieut, and John's eyes-moistened1 as he fixed his gaze upon it. I And yet the conversation -flowed; i pleasantly after a time. The colo-i jnel had much to tell, and his hear-! I era were willing to listen. j John arose to depart first. lie; j had told his wile .that he should not be out late.

A mutual e friend was called to whom the case was plainly stated. is 'I bet a thousand dollars,' said it Jolm, 'that Colonel Frank Powers has lost his right arm, and that his ' It arm is whole.' 'And I,' said Peter, 'bet the same ;mount that Colonel Frank Powers ims lost his left arm, and that his right arm is whole.' The money was deposited in the hands of the mutual friend, with instructions that he should pay it to ihe winner. And then they agreed that the three should go at once to the hotel and settle the matter. Twelve months before this time John Ogden would not have bet so large a earn under any circumstances; but the habit had indeed grown upon him. Arrived at the hotel the three were admitted to the colonel's. presence. "Ah, boys, lam glad to see you. I am feeling much better to-day. John, old fellow, I cau get up for you now. How are you? And Frank Powers arose and extended his hand?his right hand ?and when John felt its grasp he found it true flesh and blood, warm and pulsating. He staggered back with a groan. 'You will excuse us, Colonel,' said Peter; 'but John and I had a little dispute. He thought you had lost your right arm.' '0, no,' returned Powers, smiling. <T1 >nnlr "ITnnvAn mv rirrlit, firm IS ?J --Q-- spared me,'?extending his good right hand;?'but this poor stump is all that is left of its fellow,'pointing to the empty sleeve that hung by his left 9ide. John got away as soon as lie could. In the lower hall the two thousand dollars was paid over to Peter Cartwright. kI am sorry you lost your money, John,' the latter said, as he put the bank-notes into his bocket-book, but I think I won it fairly.' 'It's all right, Peter.' And John tried to smile as he said so, but he could not do it.. A miserable man was John Ogi ai - a. JI , ^ uen mac aicernoon ; aim iuurc miserable was he when he went to his home in the evening. His wife asked him what was the matter, but he would not tell her; and when she pressed him lie was angry. lie could not?lie dared not? tell her that the savings of years? the money that was to hare paid lor their precious home?had been swept away in a moment?swept awav hy an act of his awn sin and folly. That night he slept not a wink. On the following moripng, pale and shaking, he started to go away from his home without breakfast. On his door-.step he was met by Cartvvright's clerk, who handed him a sealed packet. 'It is from Mr. Cartwright, sir-' 'Do you wait for an answer?' 'No, sir.' John went back into his house, and broke the seal, and opened the packet. lie found within one thousand dollars in crisp banknotes and a folded letter- He opened and read: 'Dear Joiin?"With this I send you back your thousand dollars. I jwon the money as honestly as gamjbling bets are often won, and yet I ;dicl not win it fairly. Frank and 1 deceived you on purpose. Oil your ifirst visit his right arm was hidden beneath his coat, and his wooden left arm was strapped on. As he did not rise from his chair the deception was perfect.

'But you will come and cat some breakfast V 'If you won't ask any more questions?yes.' i Tim Maw lm/l bopn ?i sproro nnfi. land the effects of a shock did not quickly pass away. But John Ogden revived in time; and when he told to his wife the secret of his trouble on that unhappy night, he I was prepared to give her a great jand lasting joy by adding that lie | had made hiy last bet.?Ledger. 4 <9 ?

Upon this subject a writer says: I submit the following article on food, hoping it may do a little good to the poor class ill these pinching times. Oatmeal contains 91 per cent, of nutritive matter; wheat, 85} per cdnt.; potatoes 28 per cent; the best flesh meat 25 per cent. It may be seen by the above that one nf nntmnnl nnntnina rioni'lv four times as much nutrition as one pound of beef. We pay tor beei per pound fifteeu, twenty, and twenty-live cents. , Nearly half the people of Ireland and Scotland live on oatmeal and potatoes; they do not taste flesh meat once a month. The writer of this article has not eaten flesh for a year; he finds himself better physically as well as mentally. Ilie dinner for one day consists of one cent's worth of oaten meal 01 cracked wheat made in the form ol mush. lie does not do this foi economy, but for health. T wniiM liL-p tr> snv a fnw words before 1 close this article on wheat Wheat contains of the carbonates, or heat and fat producers, sixty-twc per cent.; of the phosphates, the class that supplies the bones, the brain, and the nerves, and gives vital power, both mental and muscular, two and a half per cent.; ol the nitrates, the class that supplies the waste of muscle, twenty-one per cent. If wheat were eaten in its natural condition, without bolting, il would supply all the needed elements in the human body.; butj in the process of bolting uearly the whole of the phosphates and^ nitrates are removed, 60 that bread miflonf ennnrfinniflnili' will finatflin ",uuu "v,r life only a few weeks. The best way to get good wheal meal is to buy of any miller half a bushel of whole wheat, thirty pounds. Either get the miller tc grind it for you, or take it home and grind it in your coffee mills. Why we Eat. ? "Food is fuel. We require food frequently for just the same reason that a tire requires coals frequently, and a lamp oil? because we are burning away. The ia JmI/a n.nr Imirrc UU I UttL \\ \* u 1 tatuv iu iv wun iuiiu> contains oxygen, and this oxygen combines with or burns the muscles and of-her organs of our bodies, just as it docs the coals in a tire. The heat produced in a man's body in the course of a day is considerable in quantity, though not very intense in quality. Taking the average, it is enough to raise five and s half gallons' of water from freezinc point to boiling point, and this is about the heat that would be givei oli' during the burning of a pounc of coala. All this heat comes fron the slow wasting or burning of th< * ' .1 t i AI i. :4. ;, suDsrnncc or uie oouv, su huh h u evident that if we did not make uj for this constant loss by eating food our organs would soon bo wastec away and consumed.
