We are palling fodder now. I’ve

and two to pull by the hundred

over 200 bundles, aud some of
them are mighty light, lint it is
all right I reckon. They are
watching me and I .am watching
them. It is the same old story—
capital against labor. There are
tricks in all trades. You can
count the bands in a bundle, but
you cant count the blades in a
hand, and so they can make them
heavy or make them light, accord

A young clergyman and his
bride were invited guests at a
large party given by a wealthy
parishion r. In all the freshness
and elegance of her bridal ward
rolic the young wife shone among
the throng, distinguished by her
comeliness and vivacity and rich
attire; and when during the even
ing her young husband drew her
aside ami whispered to her that
she was the most beautiful woman
in all the company, and that his
heart was bursting with pride
and lore for tier, she thought her
self the happiest wife in the
world. Ten years later the same
husband and wife were guests at
tiic same house, where was gath
cred a similar gay company. The
wife of ten years ago wore the
same dress she had worn on the
previous occasion; and of course
it had been altered ami made
over, ami was old fashioned and
almost shabby. Toil and care
and motherhood and pinched cir
cumstances had taken the roses
out of the checks ami the lithe
spring out of her form. She sat
apart from the crowd, careworn
and preoccupied. Her small
hands, roughened with coarse
toil, were ungloved, for the minis
ter’s salary was painfully small.
A little apart the ten years hus

“How do you manage to win
the confidence of all The young
people who meet you in society?”
I asked a friend who was no long
er young, but a great favorite
witli her own, and also with the
opposite sex, in friendship that
seemed always sincere.
“I do not know of any secret in
it,” she said, “only that I am a
good listener, and I can manifest
an interest and sympathy in con
versation. To be an agreeable
listener it is necessary to talk now
and then, to look the speaker in
the eye, and not to interrupt. 1
try not to show superior knowl
edge, for there is nothing more
disagreeable than to have people
all tbe time setting you straight.
I do not like it myself; so when
some one tells me a story that I
have heard before, even if it is a
little different in detail, I let it
piss as something I am hearing
for the first time. I think if any
one will talk naturally, speaking
with eyes, as well as lips, and
without affectation, they need not
fear criticism, unless the conver
sation is made |>ersonal by one’s
own, or neighbors’ affairs. If I
were to give rules for becoming a
good conversationalist, 1 should
say, avoid slang, grammatical er
rors and bail pronunciation, be as
refined as possible, and let that
very refinement be your natural
self. Be courteous and discreet,
revere sacred subjects, never treat
them lightly, even in a joke; ad
here strictly- to the truth, and
listen intelligently.”
I thanked my friend for her
hints, and meutally compared
her sentiments and actions with
the ordinary conversation one
meets with. Ilmv many of our
dear live hundred friends follow
these pleasant suggestions? The
plan ol general conversation
seems to be to talk of self, or else
to say the most disagreeable
cost and maki? it lip on somethin'
