I Wish He'd Make up his Mind. UY }f. C. K. I wish bo would make up Ids mind, nm, For I don't care? much longer to wait, I'm sure I havo hinted quite strongly That I thought of chnnging my state; For a sweetheart he's really too backward, I can't bring him out, though I try; I own that bo's very good tempered, But then he's so dreadfully shy ! When I speak about love and a cottage, He gives mo a look of surprise; And if I hut hint at n marriage; no blushes quite up to his eyes; I can't mako him jealous?I've tried it? And 'tis no use my being unkind, For that's not the way I am certain, To get him to make up his mind. I've 'sung him love sonnets by dozens, I've worked him both slippers and Iiobc, And we've walked by moonlight together Yet ho never nttcmpts to proposo ! You must really ask his intention, Or pome other beau I must find; For indeed I won't ttrry much longer For one who can't make up his mind. A lively lad swung with much energy in n San Francisco garden that he threw himself into n conservatory 30 foot dis tnut, cut an artery in Iiis? arm, ruined several hundred dollars worth of rare planss, and frightened the women a] n Oft out of their senses. ? forlorn editor speaks thusly;- 'We give our washerwoman notice that here after we want our own clothes. Last Suilday we put on nnotltor fellow's shirt but couldn't wear at all It w is all ruffled around tho top and IodIc?I real handsome, but there was n > place for a collar, and it hadn't any bosom. Yet, it Was a handsome shirt, but wc don't have ours made that way.' A young lady and gentleman, aged respectively 12 and 13 years, wore mar ried ot Gculdtown, Michigan, recently. YYlitu lost sctn, they were quarrelling ovir n pound of mixed candies, and throwing out vague intimations about divorce. O, Liltcus ! in our hours of ease, un ctttnin to\snnd full'of fleas; when pain or cnguibh hang o'er men, wc turn you into sausage then. Did any of cur renders ever think 0f the amount of travel it takes to rniso a cu.pofcorn? I never saw an illustfftrj v^4r^kkKl?ii I *yUfi"^hf"T^?ou!d pivc you oeo."fMTfivo a twenty-acre fivld, forty by eight rods. To break this fp would take 1G0 miles. Ilarrowiug it) about 40 miles. Furrowing it, 90 miles, if wit n a planter, aud if dropped and then covered, 90 miles. Aud for each plowing of two furrows in each row, 90 miles, or all plowing, 540 miles. Th?r-, you see, it takes about 800 or 900 nuilca tmrcl to raise twenty acres of corn not counting going to and returning ffom tlio Geld. Besides, there replant ing, tliinuing, rolling, etc yVitty Ai'OI.ooy.?A physician call nig one day on a gentleman who had been severely afflicted with gout, found to his surprise; the disease goue, and thegcntlcmau rejoicing in his recovery over o bottlo of wine. Come along, doctor;'said tbo valetudinarian, 'you nro just in time to taste this bottle of Maderia. It is the first of a pipe that 1 as just been broached.' 'Ah !' replied the doctor, these pipes of Maderia will n^yer do'. They aro the cause of all jeer Buffering.' 'Well, then,' rejoined the gay incurable, 'fill your glass; for now that wc havo found out the cauc o the sooner we get rid of it tho beitor.' If any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint of milk taken before retiring at night will soon cover the scrawniest bencs. Although now adays wc see a grcaJMruany fleshy lemalcs, there arc many lean and lank ones who sigh for the iuihiouable measure of plumpness, and who would be vastly improved in health and appearnnco could thoir figurcB !b6 rounded with good solid flesh. Nothing if more coveted by thin women than a full figure, nnd nabbing Will so rouse the ironnd provoko tho Bcandul of one of these "clipper-builds" as tbo consciousness of plumpnoss in a rivul. In cases of fever and suntnior complaint, milk is now givpn with excellent re sults. Tbo idea that milk is "fovorieh'' lias, exploded, and it is now tho physi cians grcab rclinneo in bringing through * typhoid patients, or tboso iu too low a etato to bo nourished by solid food. It is a mistako to scrimp tho milk pitcbor. Take moro milk and buy less, meat Look to your milk men, havo largo sized, well filled milk pitchers on tho table each meal, and you will also havo aouud flesh and light doctors bills. DK. T.
