ConnuMalities. I wonder If he mean* it. The uucy darling base. To place his arm around my waist, And give me each a squeeze! I’m sure he thinks I love him. Because I don’t refuse prem 'list Bath Tubs for themillion Oldest Wills in Atlanta! — o- I really think he loves me! For just before he went He kiss’d me twice, and once again, And said t’was only lent. To-morrow night he’s coming To tease me just the same; So, if there’s any damage done, I’m not the one to blame! Courting bliss often ends in wedded blister. Brides are lew, fat and unfashionable at Niagara. There is a time for all things. The time to leave is when a young lady asks yon what kind of a day it is for walking. A shrewd bridegroom recently managed to get up a runaway on the way home from the wedding, and the mother-in-law’s neck was broken. A St. Prfnl woman who used to keep three ! girls now does her own work cheerfully She found her husband throwing kisses at them. | An Omaha woman committed suicide the I other day because her husband remonstrated j in profane terms when he found a dead horse-; Ay in a wheat-cake. Blackwood dares to assert that every man who is not a mouster, a mathematician, or a mad philosopher, is a slave of some woman or other. First lesson in kissing—The gentleman should be a little the tallest. He should have a clean face, a kind eye, and a mouth full of expression, instead of tobacco.* Mrs. Wood, of Iowa, has been divorced four times from Mr. Wood, aud now because he won’t remarry her agaiu she complains ot his ugly temper. Pittsburg rejoices in the possession of a wo man so faithful aud loving that she always kisses her hnsbnud “good-by” when he goes into the back yard to feed the chickens. A jealous Saratoga woman recently prevent ed her husband’s attendance at a ball by car rying even* article of clothing he ow*ned and hiding them in a barn three miles away. The most romantic couple who hold forth •at Troy, N. Y., have “broken off" after being engaged for two years, because their parents objected to their marriage by moonlight in the park. The police justices of Troy report that all their time is occupied with cases in which the wife complains that the husband fails to sup port her and her children. “If George had not blowed into the muzzle of his gun, ’ sighed a rural widow at the fune ral of her husband, “he might have got plenty of squirrels; it was such a good day for them.” • An Indiana lady of an original turn of mind bases her application for a divorce on tne cir cumstance that her husband’s legs are too long for her to keep step with him when they take a walk together. A young man who keeps a collection of locks of hair of his lady iriends, calls them his hair-breadth escapes. If the collection had been of twine the escape would have been more remarkable. During the fire in Memphis the other day a woman carried a barrel of Hour down stairs without bursting a hoop. In ordinary times it exhausts her to strike her husband twice with the poker. Joseph Henderson, suing for divorce in In diana, alleges that his wife trapped him by means of false hair, false eyebrows, false com plexion, a big bustle and a deceitful tongue. An Indiana woman, whose suit for divorce had lingered along until she was entirely oat of patience, burst into her lawyer’s office la6t week, her face radiant with joy, and ex claimed, “’Squire, the old man’s dead?” A young couple in moderate circumstances, at the time of their marriage, were over whelmed by considerate friends with cake- baskets, fish-knives and similar indispensable articles for housekeeping. The lady, however, who was of a practical turn, traded off the whole for a cook-stove, an article she was more accustomed to “wrestle” with. A tale of two Norristown husbands: One, upon leaving his office the other night, stopped at a book-store, paid $1 25 for a new article, and went home and presented his wife with a Pair of Blue Eyes.” The other, after leaving his office, stopped at a saloon, paid $1 25 for whisky, and went home and gave bis wife a pair of black eyes. A Detroit man *lio wanted a wife “right away,” got one by advertising. Two days af ter the wedding ceremony he was observed to be walking “right away” from his home, and the neighbors who saw him say that his left ear was set back about two inches, and that he had no hair to speak oi on the top of his head. Patrick Quinn, of Woodstock, 111., returned ! home very late and badly intoxicated. His wife refused him admittance, and his boy* went out to him. They lay down near the Fo railroad track until they heard a train ap proaching, when Quinn made the youth promise to take care of the horses, bade him Kood-by, went upon the the railway, and was torn in pieces by the truin. In a certain town in Vermont seveial in stances have occurred where husbands who have lost their wives have married again with in six or twelve weeks; hence a good deal of neighborhood gossip, particularly among some of those women who “still live.” One of these, Mrs. B , at a quilting the other day said, “I do hope I may be spared till sum mer, for then I may have tombstones over my grave before my man gets tied up again!” A trial of skill in archery at BuenA Ridge, -lott Haven, New York, between ten young ladies, for a gold medal presented by their j - gentlemen friends, took place on Tuesday last. The shooting was at 80 paces, and there were three trials for all. Miss Grace White and Miss Elizabeth Flynn of Boston, and Miss Maggie Forbes ot Fort Jarvis, made the best score in all the trials, making, in the last one, one inch, one inch and two inches respectively from the centre of the target. Miss White’s average was best, and she was awarded the medal, which was a rich one, having on one face a figure ot a lady engaged at archery, and on the other a suitable legend commemorating the event.

Box ",-r : Some difference of opinion exists m Can ton, Ohio, as to how mnch cowhiding vonng ladies may do who stroll along the streets un attended at mght Two of them recently be labored “a soft-beaded young man who fol lowed them," which leads the Newark Advo cate to say: “Modest young ladies, who de port themselves with decency, are not apt to be insulted, but when their movements are of a character that seam to be intended to attract attention and to invite improper advances, their supposed wishes arc not likely to be slighted. If they occasionally ‘go back - on those that are captured by their allurements, their victims must submit. They took their chances and lost. " As an illustration of tbe widespread use of a certain popular title, it is related that a gentleman recently stopped into a saloon in Denver, and eried oat in a load, cheery tone, •“Hello! come, professor, take a drink.” Six men sitting in the saloon at once arose and came forward, while a bootblack, whose stand was jnat outside the door, and a pass ing corn doctor smilingly accepted the invi tation and stepped in. mile heats, best two in three 1st horse to receive J 2d horse to receive 3d horse to receive Four to enter aud three to Mart.
