ing to husband :
Dear Hubby : How lonesome 1 feel
in your absence. The hours pass te
diously. No body calls 011 me, and I
am constantly thinking of the time
when you will bo home and your
cheerful countenance light up the
routine of every-day life. My house
hold duties keep me constantly em
ployed. lam living as economical as
possible, knowing that your small in
cofne will not admit of frivolous ex
pense. But now, dear, I will say good
bye, or I will be too late for the
monthly concert of Parepa. In haste,
yours, Ac.
A Model Dedication.
My original intention was to dedi
cate this book to the friend of ray boy
hood, Azan bin Ghes, the Imaum of
Muscat, in memory of the happy days
when together we played marbles in
the Oman desert, and ducked each
other in tho Persian Gulf, and tor
tured inoffensive cats on the Island of
Kishm. But I have changed my mind;
I have resolved to dedicate the book
to a humorist who has had too little
fame, to the most delicious, because
the most unconscious humorist, to
that widely scattered and multitudin
ous comedian who may bo expressed
in the concrete as tho Intelligent Com
positor. To his faculty of perpetra
ting felicitous absurdities I am in
debted for “laughter that is worth a
hundred groans.’’ It was ho who,
putting into type an article of mine
which contained the injunction, “Do
not cast your pearls before swine,”
transformed the phrase into “Do not
cart your pills before sunrise.” It
was he who caused me to quote flic
poet’s inquiry, so that I propounded
to tho world tho appalling connun
drum, “Where are the dead, the var
nished dead ?” and it was his glorious
tendency to make the sublime con
vulsively ridiculous that rejected a
line in a poem of mine, which de
clared that “a comet swept o’er the
heavens with its trailing skirts,” and
substituted the idea that a “Count
slept in a hay-mow in a traveling
skirt,” The kind of talent that is here
displayed deserves profound rever
ence. It is wonderful and awful, and
thus I offer it ns a token of ray mar
velling respect.— [Max Adair's “Oat of
the Hurly-Burly."
Faith—A party of us were in a
stage-coacli among the mountains,
when the horses became unmanage
able. The driver shouted and coaxed.
We were very much frightened. Some
screamed; some cried; others tried to
jump out; and all were pale with
w.zight—all but one little girl, who sat
quietly by her mother's side, in the
general hubbub.
“Don’t cry, mother, don’t cry,” she
said, patting her mottier’s cheek. “If
we upset we shall fall into God's
arms.”
Who of us would not have given
anything for the sweet trust of this
darling’child ? Perhaps it saved us. j
The horses became quieted down, and
we reached home in safety.
Seneca says that the great
sources of anxiety in life are three;
the fear of want, the fear of disease,
and the fear of oppression by the
powerful. He says that the last of
these three is the greatest. Seneca is
about correct.
