A PARTIAL CRITIC. 1 “O little girt whose twenty years Make you seem none the older Since that spring day when love's glad tears Bade Bashfuluess be bolder. Tell me, and have you grown more wise. Or any more discerning, Or are you more inclined to prize The benefits ot learning!' - This to my love—a blrthdav rhyme— I gave wheu she was twenty: Her little head up to that time I'd filled with looks in plenty; I'd offered Thackeray and Scott, Shakespeare and some of Milton, To show her in a measure what An education's built oa I'd offered Wordsworth—not too much— Keats all, and bites of Shelley; In Browning, whom I didn't touch, I feared a casus belli; I’d offered Tennyson and some Of Swinburne, that would go well As spice with my selections from Longfellow, Holmes and LowelL And now, the fruitful year at end. The ripe result l sought for, And wondered if her words would lend Tlie wisdom that I thought for. Alas t—yet I confess it fell Like “Paid" upon a debtor— Said she, “1 liked them very well; I like what you write better” —P. Mederst in Harper's Magazine. SWEET SALLY SUCCUMED. SIMEON SYKES’ STORY. Simon Sykes, silver seller strayed southward, steadily seeking sat sales, sobeiiysauntered, swing sachel. systematically showing solid spoons, sugar shovels, small size superior spectacles, scissors, shields, somber skies sent soft soaking Simeon’s sachel, shoes shirt, skin.

Simeon soon saw su ndry stately syc amores standing sentinel, shading said spinter’sspacious shelter; spied Sally sit ting solus, sewing silk stockinet, slyly sniffing sweet-scented scotch snuff. Sud den surprise seized Sally’s soul, seeing Simeon,s swift strides; Sally,s sanctity soon skedaddled shamefully. She, somewhat sensitive, suspiciously started, suddenly spilled some snuff, soiled stockinet, stammered, stuttered, said: “s-s-seat, s-sir.” Simeon shivered, shook, said: “smart Sally said-.“slightly so.” Simeon’s shin seemed sore; so Sally sought some soothing salve (sawyer), supplied some soft-soled slippers. S juare should. slab-sided, spindle shanked Simeon seemed satisfied; Sally sauD “sold some silver since Sunday, Simeon?” Simeon scolded savagely. Sally suggested supper. Sartin, Silly.” said Simeon; “some thing sufficiently strengthening some strong stimulant,” So Sally seat some sausage, sirloin steak ,savory stew, some soothing san garee. Simeon’s stomach seemed satisfied; so Simeon smoked several “Spanish se gars,” sat stupefied, soon slept, snored sonoriously, Sally,sitting, solemnly stitching stock inet, suddenly sneezed! Simeon started seemed scared—suspiciously surveyed surrounding space, shutters, shades; seemed secure. Sally stopped sewing, said she saw someone slyly sneaking, stealing Simeon silver. Simeon, slightly susceptible’ seemed suddenly smitten, sought Sally’s side, sacrilegiously surrounded sanctimonious Sally Slater’s smooth symmetry, she, somewhat suspicious, said, ..soft sickish! Simeon started significantly said, “sweetest, surely such solitary souls should sympathize.” Sally stopped Sim eon. Simeon seemed subdued. She seemed sorry, showed some soft ening symptoms, supinely sought Sim eon’s sturdy shoulder, sh! sh! Simeon taiackeo Sally! so straightway surren dering, she smacked Simeon! Simeon said: “set some suitable season- Sally said:’ September.” Simeon, shrugging Sim’s shoulder, said: “Sooner? surely scripture sanctions such strong thy: Say Sunday.” No Sally- succumbed. * *- * * Seven supernal seasons softly silently slipped somewhere: seven small scions sprung, successively shedding sunshine singing, shouting, seldom sick, squall ing sometimes, still sweetening, Sally’s solitude. So, succeeding summers se rently, Simeon’s seven stalwart sons seized soldiers’ swords—successively subdued Southern secessionist—subse quently settled South. Simeon still sells silver, supplying substantial subsistence.—Detroit Free Press. • • Bud Smith an Atlanta saloon keeper was put under a bond of $100 Monday for employing a boy under age in his sa oun.
