THE MONITOR i
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY.
The Note That Never Came.
The boy stood on the college steps,
Whene all but him had fled:
The wind in silent sorrow wept.
The sum shone round his head.
The hour wore on: he would not go,
Without those notes he said:
The writers in their rooms below,
Their dainty notes re-read.
Imploringly he looked aloft,
But no one met his gaze,
And then he tried a gentle cough,
Yet, still the maid delays.
The sun goes down: the night comes on,
And colder grows the air,
That blows about the lonley one
\\ ho stands in brave despair.
Once more he coughed and louder still
And yet again ho tries,
It seems as If none ever will
Come—to cheer his eyes.
1 chanced to pass the college gate.
And, 0, what did I see?
Why though the hour was very late,
Two youths in a buggie.
Then came a burst of thunder sound!
The boy, O, where was he?
I looked above, beneath, around,
But no boy could I see.
With steps and banisters so fair
That well had borne their part,
The meekest thing that wailed there
Was that young patient heart.

lowest prices. Read his advertise¬
ment and go to see him and be cot)'
vinced that what he says is “the
truth.”
Not more than a thousand years ago
in our little neighbor city, Cutlibert, a
pretty and popular young lady invited
one of her lovely and cultured young
schoolmates to spend the night with her.
During the evening they were called
upon by two well-known young gentle^
tnen and everything was passing off
only too swiftly for the young gentlemen.
Bo entertaining were the young ladies.
About 10 o’clock a small brother of the
first young lady came in the parlor, and
after listening to a few pleasant remarks
from the young gentlemen began play¬
ing before the fire and was apparently
oblivious to all his surroundings. But
not so. One of the young men addressed
the visiting yonng lady, saying: “Do
you know why I fell in love with Mis—?”
“No sir, why?” “Well she is so sweet,
pretty and small; why I can hold my
arm out this way and she can walk under
it without knocking the flowers out of
her hair,” Before the young lady could
make another remavk the little brother
got in his work by exclaiming: “Oh,
Mr.-. she would be a heap taller if
hea log were straight,” and as the little
brother went out the door he was fol¬
lowed by an autograph album, thrown at
him by his sister. It was a hard matter
to tell which blushed the most, the young
*ady or the young gentleman, who had
to listen to the laughter of other couple.

Hero he stepped quickly across the

a question in her ear. For an instant
her eyes met his; then she rose, with a
smile, placed her hand confidingly in

“This is my first and only ’ choice,”
exclaimed Jerry, with a ring of mingled
pride and triumph in his tones.
“But ye can’t do that—’taint in tho

know how many other kinds of critters,
during the past two years aud upward
that I have been with you?”
“Yes, I s'pose ye have,” acknowledged
Mr. Johnson, “but—er--”
“All right, sir,” interposed Jerry,
briskly. “You promised me the best
'critter’ on the place, and this is the one
I want—ancl the only one.”

he quietly remarked;
“Waal, a bargain is a bargain, an’ I
’spose I’ll hafter keep my word, but
I say, youug man,” and Mr, Johnson’s
eyes twiukled mischievously, “don’t ye
think ye sorter missed yer vocation, not
