POETIC Alj. A QUIET LITE. Slowly, steadily, under the moon, Swings the tide in its old-time way ; Never too late, and never too soon, And the evening and morning make the day Slowly, steadily, over the sands, And over the rocks to fall and flow, And this wave has touched a dead man’s hands, And that one has seen a face we know. They have borne the good ship on her way, Or buried her deep from love and light; And yet, as they sink at our feet to-day, ‘Ah ! who shall interpret their message aright? For their separate voices of grief and cheer Are blending at last in one solemn tone; And only this song of the waves I hear, “ Forever and ever Ilis will be done.” Slowly, steadily, to and fro, Swings our life in its weary way; Now at its ebb, and now at its flow— And the evening and morning make the day. SorrotV end happiness, peace and strife, Fear fl,nd rejoicing its moments know— How, from the discords of such a life, Can the clear music of heaven flo ■ ? Yet to the eaV of God it swells, And to the blessed round the throne, Sweeter than the chimes of Sabbath bells— “ Forever and ever His will is doue.” LAUGHOGRAMS. Why is a lovely young lady like a hinge ? Because she is something to a dore. It is wonderful how the blind beggars in a city can tell the difference between ten cents and a quarter. How would you express, in two let ters, that you were twice the size of your companion ? I W—l double you. The widow of a dead Chicago man has put a five-ton monument over him to keep him down. A man who applied to one of our citi zens for help for his destitute children, being asked what he needed, said he was not particular. “If he couldn’t get bread he would take tobacco.” An enterprising dog in Utica secured samples from the clothing of eight light ning rod peddlers within half an hour af ter a recent thunder storm. New Jersey people don’t say “liar” right out, but remark : “Sir, you remind me of my lamented brother, who could pervert truth with the greatest ease.” Why are you forever humming that air! Foote asked a man without a sense of time in him. Because it haunts me. No wonder, said Foote; you are forever murdering it. Why is a man wlio makes additions to a false rumor like one who has confid ence in all that is told him ? Because he re-lies on all that he hears. “What’s the date of your bustle?” was what an anxious papa asked his well dressed daughter, after searching for the latest copy of his paper. The most wide-spread case of liver complaint on record is in a house where thirty boarders have it. But it is cheap er than other meat. A gentleman lying in bed one morn ing was informed that he had better get up quick, breakfast was just coming Tip. “Let it come,” he replied defiantly, “it will find me ready to meet it!” “Why do you set your cup of coffee on the chair, Mr. Jones ?” said a worthy landlady one morning at the table. “It is so weak, ma'am, I thought I would let it rest.” A cloth saturated with chloroform and applied to the wound is said to be a cure for rattlesnake bite. Mountain tourists have a remedy that beats chloroform all to pieces.jj There’s an old lady with false teeth out West who wants to know if the Yan kees can’t invent some new way of put ting on pillow-cases; meanwhile she nails the cases against the wall and drops the pillows in. A debating society discussed the ques tion, “Is it wrong to cheat a lawyer? ’’Af ter full discussion and mature delibera tion, the. decision was as follows: “Not wrong, but too difficult to pay for the trouble.” Modest assurance —Lady of the house: “Well, Millicent, how do you like your new horse, ‘Roland?’ ” Robert, first cousin to Millicent: “Run away with you if you gave him a chance? By George, if I can judge of Roland’s feelings by my own, I should just think he would/’ “ James Jones,” said a schoolmaster to his pupil, “what is an average T “A thing, sir,” answered the scholar promptly, “that hens lay on.” “Why do you say that, you silly boy.” “Because, sir,” said the youth, “I heal’d a man say the other day a hen would lay on an average a hundred and twenty eggs a year.” A negro witness on a horse trial in & New Jersey court was asked to explain the difference between a box stall and a common stall. Straightening himself up, he pointed to the square enclosure in which the judge was seated, and said, “Dat ar’s what I calls a box stall, dere whar dat old hoss is sittin !” It took the sheriff some tune to restore order in that court. Editorial courtesy in a neighboring State is thus exemplified by a cotempo rary’s reference to a brother journalist: “A nasty puppy, in the person of the editor of a “weakly” newspaper, emanat ing from a mudhole somewhere in the northeastern part of this State, has tak en it into his pate to bark at us; but we are acquainted with the silly cur, and feel not the least bit alarmed, as the im pudent little pup is too cowardly to 1 ite.” ALL DRUNK. A merchant going home elevated, stag gered against a telegraph pole. “ Beg your pardon,” said he; “Ihope no offence. It’s rather dark, and the street is narrow, you see.” In a few minutes he came in contact with another pole. “ Couldn’t help it, sir,” said he, lifting his hat; “I never saw such crooked lanes as we have here in this city.” Again he ran foul of a pole, this time with a force which sent him backwards to the ground. “Look here, neighbor, you needn’t push a fellow down because he happens to touch you; the road is as much right to be here as you have, old stick-in-the mud.” He picked himself up, and made an other effort to reach his home, but he soon came plump against another pole. “ I shan’t make any more apologies,” said he. “If you get into the middle of the street and stand hi the way, that’s your look out, and not mine.” Proceeding on his journey again, and becoming angry and dizzy, he seemed to be entangled into an inextricable laby rinth of telegraph poles, which led him to make a general speech. “ Gentlemen, you are not doing the fair thing. You do not give a man a chance. You run from one side of the street to the other, right in my way.” Just then he met a friend, and taking him by the hand, he said: “There is a procession going along the street, and every man is drunk; they have been running against me all the way from the club. I knocked one of the fellows down, and one of the fellows knocked me down, and then a lot of them got around me, and I believe they would have licked me within an inch of my life if you had not come to my res cue. Let us get out of this street be fore the procession comes back, for they are all drunk.” BUSINESS. There once lived a rolicking lawyer —we will call him John Martin—who had many virtues and few faults. He would give away his last, and conse quently was often dead broke. One day lie must attend court at a distance, but found himself without funds. Bushing breathlessly into the office of a banker, holding in his hand the promissory note on a well known man for twenty dollars, he hastily exclaimed: “Here, Bill, what will you give mo for that? Quick! train’s waiting.” “Nineteen dollars and a half,” said the banker. “All right!” cried John. “Give me the stamps.” And in a moment he was off for the cars. An instant and he was followed and overtaken by the banker, who said: “Look here, John; credits on the back of this note, fifteen dollars.” “I know it,” replied he. “Will you pay it back?” “Not a cent. You set the price—l took it.” “You’re an infernal scoundrel!” “ Now, see here,” said John, “ what’s the use! I can bring twenty handsom er men than you who will say the same thing.” It was one of John’s virtues, this calmness Tinder trying circumstances, and it so charmed the purchaser of the note that he never made another effort to get the money. An Irishman went for the first time to a play. Just as the drop curtain de scended, after the first act, an engine in the basement exploded and the Celt was blown through the roof, alighting in the next square. His first remark after com ing to his senses, was. “And what the devil do they play next ?” An Illinois widow who fainted away at the grave of her husband and remain ed in a fit all night was married four weeks after.

No family should be a single day MOLLIE WATERMAN AND HER DOG. In the private album of the Chief of Police, where all the celebrated women’s pictures, or “mugs of the Mollies” at tached to the rogue’s gallery, are kept, there are many striking faces, some fair, beautiful and proud, others soft and del icate, others pinched and sharp, while again are those intellectual, and with the stamp of refinement and wealth. Mol lie Waterman’s picture is one of these. It is that of a plain, cold woman, just like that of a statue would be, with her black hair folded back and bound around her head, while her dress of rich black is caught by the throat with a heavy clasp. By her side, with its head in her lap and its intelligent eyes looking eagerly into her face, is a black and tan terrier dog of the medium size and with a plain collar. A singular picture to see in a gallery of thieves, yet probably the most singu lar pan found in the long lines of fa ces. Mollie Waterman never stole herself. She trained her dog. Going into the store, she selected various costly laces, jewelry, etc., and, looking at them, placed them back with a particular mo tion of her hand, shortly going out of the store. The dog remained, and seiz ing the article when the showman’s back was turned, made with it to her room, where it was received by Mollie and the dog rewarded. For years she plied this with success, until one day the dog was caught there. Unheeding of herself, she surrendered, imploring for the life of her favorite. The picture of the two were, however, taken together, and then the dog was killed, the body being inhumanly tluown into the cell where the woman lay. So the police left them; but, when they returned with the morning, she was found dead, poisoned by her own hand, lying with her steadfast friend. There was a rude inquest of course— a coroner and a joking crowd—but when the two were tumbled into their old box out into the Potter’s Field, there were closed out forever two who might be an example to many loving friends. “See itty dackass, mamma, staffin' all loney in the picsur!” “Yes dear.” “Nursey been tollin’ Donney all about itty dackass. He hasn’t any mamma to make him dood, an’ no kind nurny’t all. Poor itty dacksss hasn’t dot no Bidzet to dess him clean and nice, an’ be hasn’t any overtoat yike Donney’s ’t tdj.

A writer in the Northwestern 3&rm er says: The crumply horn is a goal indi cation ; a full eye another. H< ■ head should be small and short. Avid the Roman nose; this indicates lliin milk and but little of it. See that sheis dish ed in the face—sunk between tl t eyes. Notice that she is what stock me] i call a good handler—skin soft and loc le, like the skin on a dog. Deep from tl fe loins to the udder, and a very slim tail. A cow with these marks never fails t( be a good milker. The recent test of Fire-Proof Safes by the English Government proved the superiority of Alum Filling.

SICILIAN HAIR [|J!|g3ipI^RENEWER Every year increases the populari ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is due to merit alone. We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring Gray or Faded Hair to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop erties, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In baldness, it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create anew growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco nomical Hair Dressing ever used, as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A. A.
