THE LOVE OF AN HONEST MAN.
There's many a thing that the maUteus wish
As (hey journey along in life,
As they take their part in the busy world.
And share the cares and strlle :
Perhaps they wish for a cosy house,
With furniture spick and span —
But to crown the whole they..care the most
For the love of an honest man.
Tea, pretty maiden where’er you are,
in paiaceor humble cot,
Whether your life is fair and bright,
Or trial and toil your lot,
Whether your name is Flora May,
Or honest Mary Ann,
You will hein luclc if you wlu that love—
The love of an houest man.
Oh, a inatden may prize lie diamond set,
Or dress of the latest sty le;
Oi inhabit a house of eostly build,
With carpets of velvet pile:
But t he greatest blessing to woman’s life—
Let her gain it while she can—
From her golden locks, to her silver hairs,
Is the love of an honest man.

Returning from a business trip, I entered
my wife’s boudoir and found her kneeling
before a low chair, on which sat a boy baby
with large, round, wondering eyes. She
got up and came rustling in her silken mbc
de ehambre to me. She reached out her
hand aud greeted me not more heartily nor
yet more formally than we were accustom
ed to greet each other in those days.
“There it is," siad my wife, pointing to
the child.
“What?" asked T. But she stooped
down before the little stnnger. held a biscuit
to its upturned face, aud half turning to

How a Man Walks.
-—
One of the most remarkable thing, about
a man’s walk says Science for All, is the
diagonal movement which characterizes it.
The hands and feet may he regarded as
forming the tour corners ot a parallelogram
pud the diagonal limbs are, of course-, the
right arm and i*»ft leg and the left arm and
r jght [ t .g. By “diagonal” movement is
meant that the diagonal limbs during loco
motion always swing in the same direction
The arms swing by the body like a couple
„f pemliihnns, and with a speed which eu
,ircriv depends upon the rate at which he
may be. walking. The athlete, anxious to
complete the given number oi taps' i««
mile or couple of miles and outstrip lint
competitor, swings his arms to and fro with
IV quickness which corresponds with the mo
tion of his swift feet; the business man also
swing* his arms with a motion which, if not
so quick, exactly limes with the motion of
his legs. Now, it tin motion bn even care
lessly observ.d ii will be found i h xt. the
r i.. btarw swings forward the same time us
( he let! leg, and when the right leg is ad
vanning it is the left aim which accompa
nics it. This diagonal movement of the limbs
the natural method adopted by man when ,
is
walking, and it is the first and most appar
cut fact that one ascertains in studying
human locomotion.
