T.-iat the notion is weak in a gay world like this, And the process to him is a “hindering bore;” So I watched him go humming away down the street, And a tear fills my eye, though ’tis hard to confess, And I cannot but think how delightful and sweet Would that whole day have been with that little caress.

The wild animals of the, zoological collection take up a large amount of room in the park buildings, aud it costs the city a great deal more money to keep t hem properly wanned, but they are a ssurce of great amuse ment to the nurses and childien.”— Park Commissioners Report. Unpaid Bills. One of the least agreeable remind ers ol the advent of the New Year is an uudaid bill, and to many persons the number and length of such mis sives received at this season quite de stroy all idea of festivity as connected with it, and send them to woik or to play with facts almost a yard long, and as bine as if the slow and gradual accumulation of responsibility had been entirely unexpected. And in fact with the class of per sons, householders and occupiers of apartments, who run long bills this is so. They are wanting in imagination, destitute of perspective, and do not re alize what they are doing. The temp tations to expenditure are grent when money is not required, aud the sum is simply and smilingly put down to the “little” account; and it is surpris ing how such accounts swell into the incredible and astounding sum total. Then what paterfamilias an- s at the tailor’s and the butcher’s and the gro cer’s and the bakei’s mamma is oblige ed to do at the milliner’s and the dressmaker’s and the dry goods stores, and the servant maids and daughters and sols soon learn to go everywhere where credit will Be eiver. No won der tne Ist of January, instead ot be ing a time of rejoicing, brings tears, reproaches, anxieties and debt. Cash payments relieve housekeep ing from all these difficulties. It is the simple and only solution of what is to many the gravest of problems. Huy nothing but what you can pay for, aud you will not only buy less but at a much cheaper rate, ihe cash pur chaser having always a great advan tage over the individual who is oblig ed to purchase where his bill is run ning, at a price which will pay the merchant for waiting and cover the risk of loss. A universal system of cash pay ments would be better for storekeep ers and customers; it would enable the former also to buy for cash and sell at lower prices. A weight would be lifted from the air, and an infinite aid lent to the digestion of our New Year’s dainties, if we could all sit down to them with digestion untram meled by unpaid bills. sss“ Jack’s Logic. —Jack has a very red nose. He does not drink, but his Bardolphian nose makes people think he does. Jack has fallen in love with a pretty widow. The other day he was making despera’e love to her, and exclaimed, “My heart burns with love for you.” The widow replied: “Your heart burns with love eh ? I should fancy the tire started in your nose.” Jack was not abashed, He replied: “Never mind my nose, that is simply the cbiney on fire. ’ A uajivc q: t denies that the Hawaiian race is dy ing out. The worst disease of Hawaii is despair. The people l ave lost hope in their country. Cremation—lf cremation becomes the established route, and is adopted, some of the pet phrases of the people will have to be al dished. For ’in stances, those who have said “dead and buried,” will hardly wish to say lof a friend “He’s been dead and burned these ten years. The state ment might be misconstrued. — N. 1. Commercial. The world is full of me who will “boss a job” for a dollar and a half a day, when five dollars a day for actual work would not be the slightest temptation for them. Beautifu l souls have beautiful thoughts,ami beautiful thoughts make beautiful faces. Our looks are gov erned almost entirely by om thoughts and actions. $2.50 A YEAR. Judging 1 by Appearances. Resting over night at a pretentious hotel, and breakfasting very heartily there in the morning, was an aged stranger, whose unspeakably seedy at tire, while it had been unnoticed in the dark hours of his arrival, excited the dire distrust of the officials of the house as revealed by daylight. Sorely suspicious was the superb clerk of the establishment that the latter was to be wronged of its dues by some trick or plea of this venerable shabby guest, and when the latter having dispatch ed his meal, presented himself at the desk with an admonitory cough, his doubts became a certainty. “1 have had my breakfast,” began the aged man, deliberately, “and can dor compels me to say ” “Hand over the money, you old rascal,” interrupted the clerk, in a rage. “As I was saying,” resumed the stranger, placidly, “candor compels me to inform you ” “Cali a policeman!” roared tho clerk to a bell-boy. “We’ll have our twelve shillings or you go to the lock up.” Tho boy started upon his errand without apparent notice from him of the seedy costume, who, taking his own time to draw forth from some obscure pocket a vast and greasy wal let, quietly repeated: “As I was saying, I have had my breakfast, and here’s your twelve shil lings; but candor compels me to in form you that them mashed potatoes was lovely—perfectly lovely, sir; and I don’t mind throwing iu a shilling extra for ’em.” Apologetic. A merchant going home elevated, staggered against a telegraph pole. “Beg your pardon,” said he; “I hope no offence. It’s rather dark, and the Street is narrow, you see. In a few moments he came in con tact with another pole “Couldn’t help it sir,” said he lift ing his hat. “I never saw such crook ed lanes as we have here in this city. Again hs ran afoul of a pole, this time with a force that sent him back c the ground. ‘Tjook here neighbor, you needn’t push a fellow down because lie hap pens to touch you; the road is much mine as yours, and I have as much right here as yon have, old stiek-in the-mud.” Picked himself up and made anoth er effort to reach home, but be soon came plump against another pole. “I shant make any more apologies,” said he; “if you get into the mid dled of the street and stand in my way, that.s your look out, not mine.” Proceeding on his journey agnin, and becoming angry and dizzy, he seemed to be entangled in an extrica ble labyrinth 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 fair chance. You run from one side of the street to the other, right in my way.” Just then he met a friend, and tak ing him by the hand, he said: “There is a procession going along this 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 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 the rescue. Let us get out of this street before the processiou conics back, for they are all drunk. A Western member of Con gress who interpreted M.
