"I don't know,"'- says the bad boy." about this thing of waiting till you find out about a girl's re ligion before you love her. Some times you can't do it. If a girl has not. got any sign out warning a fellow what kind of. religion she has got coneealed about Tier per son how is ho going to know un til iNtis eveis1ting too late. When a young feller falls in love with a girl, it is like falling down on skates. Every thing seems to give way at once. "It strikes him like a sand bag, and there he is,. asphy xiatC the first thing. He knows that she is perfect, and he takes her right into his heart and wraps his heart around her, and pmts rubber weather strips on all the 'eracks so sh can't get out, and her religion is the iast thing he thinks of. If her religion pulls her t'other way, something's got to bust, and sometimes its the heart. I think there ought to be a convention composed of dele gates from all kindis of religion, and let themi make a law that any religion shall be legal tender any wvhere like a gold dollar. Relig ion ought to be pure gold, goad anywhere. It- a man comes in here to buy soap, ,and gives yen a gold. dollar, coined in Rome. or Jerusalemu, or California, or Chii na, or Russia, or the Feejee Is lands, he gets his soap., . But if your son is in love with a Hebrew girl, her religion says your son's religion is counterfeit, and goesi to hel' grave with your son's love in her heart, and he. goes .to the bad with her image in his heart, and bothliare ruined for life-'is they couldn't match their religion. A Baptist girl falls in love with a young fellow that is a, perfect specimen of manhood, brave, no ble; intelligent, tender to hier and as kind -as a nyan ean be, and they begin to plan -for the day when hw can take her to a homine and be all the world and a : small: see1dion of Heaven to her: 'Your lover is one of the noblen gen I eversaw, but t is a nity "he is a Catholic.' Thenthe trouble commences. le believes his religion i's the grand est in the world, and she beliewes hers is no slouch, each tries to in duce the other to adopt another religion. but it is a failure and they drift apart in all except the buried love that can never be quenched on earth, or in Heaven. I tell you it is pretty tough to have so' many different kinds of religion that can't be made to jibe, doii't you think so?"--Peck's Sun shine. AN 01D LADY'S INJUNCTIONS. "Now, Jennie," said the old la dy, as she kissed her granddaugh ter good-by in an Eastern bound Pullman, "be sure and take care of yourself; you'll sleep at a hotel to-night; air well your sheets and undsrclothes; lock the door and look under the bed; don't blow the gas out, but screw it down; hang your back hair where you can find it easy; there's a roll of flannel in the portmanty for your- pore feet, which is always so dreadful cold'; it won't matter much your having no tooth brush; but for thel"ord's sake don't put your front teeth in a glass of water; when poo Mi randav Green went to New York she did, iind next morning they were froze into a solid block; sure's your life, Jennie, I-' But: just at this momnnt the con duetor cried "all aboard," and tl(' old lady,to the young one's inteni -w gratifieation, heat a hasty retreat. -Evansville Argus.
