Will was ten years old that day, And be pulled her golden curia, Tonsingly, and answer made : “I’m too old —I don’t kiss girls.” Ten years pass, and Marguerite Smiles as Will kneels at her feet, Gazing fondly in her eyes, Praying, “Won’t you kiss me,sweet?” 'Kite is seventeen to-day ; With her birthday ring she toys For a moment, then replies : “I’m too old—l don’t kiss boys !” Mwlye tMiot. THE DREAMLAND SEA. What matter though my pilgrim feet May never press the stranger’s land, Or wander lone where wild waves boat With ceaseless moan on ocean’s strand ? For me expands a lovelier deep, Whose isles in visioned beauty sleep, And never ocean waves could be So bright as thine, fair Dreamland sea. My castle orowns the boldest steep, By warring winds and waters scar red. That seaward leans, and o’er the deep Keeps evermore unceasing ward. Full-freighted with their wings of snow, The white ships come, the white ships g<\ While in the shade of cliff and towers I dream away the gliding hours. With manes foam flecked and tossing free, The waves, wild coursers of the sea, Race swiftly to the level ptraryl, And struggling die upon the sand. The shells that sparklo at my feet, Strange talcs of wind and wave repeat The weird romance, the mystery Of the dark caverns of the sea. My fairy fleet tha't long has lain Close moored in some enchanted bay, Borne by fair gales across the main Sails swiftly on its homeward way. My ships, my stately ships, I see ! Full many a royal argosie, Like white-winged birds thoy speeding come, And bring their gathered treasures home. Pearls from the mermaid’s watery cell, Pure gold from sunny orient lands, With many a rosy chambered shell And jewel wrought by elfiu hands. Crosses and amulets ot price, Of sandal-wood and sacred palm, Embossed with many a fair device, And odorous with tropic balm. A Strong Constitution. People who attain extreme old nge have usually a certain toughness of constitution which triumphs over inju ries that weaker natures cannot survive. The autopsy of the late Oapt. Lahbush, whose age has been stated at one hun dred and eleven years and twenty-five days, furnishes new and remarkable ev idence on this point. For sixty-ono years he had been an opiumeater; at the age of ninety his daily dose of gum, or crude opium, was estimated at nine* ty grains (Troy) ; but. the physieian who attended him shortly before his death represents the old man's daily al lowance as only half that quantity. — Capt. Lahrbush had a full allowance of the ills that flesh is heir to, but seems to have been strangely unconscious of them. He had no symptoms of renal disease, and ye* his right kidney was gone ontirely ; its place being occupied (and considerably more than occupied) by a tumor the sire of a child’s head, with a smaller tumor of similar kind at.* tached. This fact does not seem to have bet>n suspected before the diagno sis made during his last illness. The left kidney was contracted. There wss a cyst in his liver. The heart was fat ty. The walls of tho aorta were near ly penetrated by several ulcerations.— Ilis ribs were as soft as cartilage, so that they could be easily cut with scis sors. But trifles like these did not at all affect his general health. He was at last brought down with a congestion of the lungs, contracted by exposure in a storm. From that complaint lie was slowly recovering, when an abcess for med in hia thigh. Three operations wero performed for the relief of the abcess, and thirty-two ounces of fluid were withdrawn ; this proved too much of a drain upon his system, and he died of asthenia—that is, general debility. As he was a soldier of the First Napo leon, he might have quoted that Gener al’s famous remark about the Peninsu* l&r war : ‘'That ulcer in my extremities ate out my life.” CnANGE op Opinion.—He that nev er changed any of his opinions, never corrected any of his mistakes ; and he who was never wise enough to find out any mistakes in himself, will not be charitable enough to excuse what he reckons mistakes in others.

Mr Edmond L Goold, a guest of Senator Sharon and a personal friend of Ralston, gave Eli Perkins the following inoident in the life of the unfortunate California bank President, which af fords a clue to his character. Mr. Ralston in 1848 was a clerk on a Mississippi steamboat. He was gen erous and poor. One day he went into the banking house of Luke & Martin, in St. Louis, and accosting Mr. Martin familiarly, said : “I say, Martin, can’t you let me have SSOO ?” : “I don’t see how we can, Billy,” said Mr. Martin, “unless you can give us some security. Who can you get to en* dorse for you ?” Ralston scratched his head a moment and admitted that he couldn’t get any seourity. Said he : “Martin, the fact is I’m broke—dead broke—but I’ve got a chance to go in with C. K. Garrison down at Panama, and I must have SSOO to get there.” After a while Mr. Martin decided that he would lend Ralston SSOO on his own account and run the risk of pay ment, and giving it to him, Ra’ston started down the river to join Common dore Garrison. This was in ’4B. “Did Ralston ever pay Marlin ?” I asked Mr. Goold. “I’ll tell you how it was,” said Mr. Goold. “Ralston forgot all about it, or else he lost track of Martin. But four teen years afterward I met Martin in New York. lie was broke then him self—gone all to pieces—hadn’t a dol lar. Ralston at this time was at the meridian of his glory, spending money by the millions. Well, one day Martin came up to me looking very seedy, and asked me if in my travels in California I had aver met a man by the name of Billy Ralston !” “Billy Ralston ?” said I. “B-i-l-Ky R-a-Ls-t-o-n 1 why I kuow a man by the name of William A. Ralston—used to be with Commodore Garrison in Pa nama. It was Fritz, Ralston & GarrL son in San Francisco, but now Ralston is at the head of it.” “Well, Mr. Goold, that’s tho same Billy Ralston that borrowed five hur> dred dollars of me down in St. Louis in '4B. Do you think he could pay it back gow ?” “Pay it back ?” said Mr. Goold, “why you're ioking. Pay it back ! Ralston pay five hundred dollars ! Why,Martin, Ralston can pay back five million dol lars.” 1 “Well,” said Martin, “when you see Billy in Frisco you jes tell him 'bout me—and if he ain’t strapped and if 'twont break him up, 1 jes wish he’d pay me that five hundred dollars.” “The fact of it is,” said Mr. Goold, as he told the story, “I thought Mar tin was joking. 1 had no idea that Ralston owed him anything. But when I got back to California I thought I’d banter Ralston about it. So ono day whpn I was in Ralston’s room I said jo kingly : “You’re a nice fellow, Ralston, to be cheating an old friend out of five hun dred dollars, ain’t you ?” “What do you mean?” said Ral ston. “Why, whan I was in New York the other day a man by the name of Mar tin—” “What!” exclaimed Ralston, jump ing to his feet, “Warwick Martin ?” “Yes, Warwick Martin—” “Where’s his address ? Here J” he shouted to the cashier of the bank, “telegraph ten thousand dollars to the credit of Warwick Martin—quiekl” and Ralston ( danced around like a crazy man. “The next day,” continued Mr. G., “Warwick Martin received a telegram from Lee & Wallers, 54 Pine street, to call and receive something deposited to his credit.” “By jingo !” said Martin to his wife, “I'll bei Billy has sent me that five hundred dollars. If he has, Betty, you can pick out a silk dress at Stewart’s,” and then ho hunied off to Lees & Wal lers. “I called to see about some money,” said Martin, looking through the bank screen at Mr. Lees. “You say I have some to my credit here.” “How much are you expecting, and who from ?” asked the banker, careful ly, as is the custom with people who re ceived money by telegraph. “I’m looking for fiye hundred dollars from Billy Ralston,” said Martin. “No five hundred to your credit here,” said the banker, “but there is ten thousand to Warwick Martin.” “Ten thousand?” gasped Martin. “Yes ; ten thousand dollars.” “Well, ’taint me,” said Martin sor rowfully, “it’s some other Martin, and ’taint from Billy, after all. Just my luck !” and Warwick drew his hand across his brow, and sighed with disap pointment. “If your name is Warwick Martin, you can take this ten thousand dollars,” said Mr. Lees. “By Jupiter !” said Warwick, :.s he narrated the incident to Mr. Goold ; “I didn’t think 'twps mine; but I thought of Betty—thought of the dress I promised her, and then I took the money and sneaked home like a cul prit. i handed it to Betty, but I nev** er smiled for two days, I was s6 afraid the mistake would be detected. But when I got a letter from Ralston him* self,” said Martin, “I tell you there was a high old celebration in our house.” “Did Ralston have a great funeral when he died ?” I asked Mr. G. /“Funeral, sir ! I should say ho did. Why, I was in that funeral procession I for four hours, and never moved out of my tracks.” “How was that ?” “Why, the head came to a halt be fore the tail started. It was the first procession ever seen in San Francisco where the tail processed four hours without moving.” — — Wanted to Kuow When the Train Left. Mr. Finkerty lives two miles from the City KalL He has been talking of go ing out of town on a visit, and Satur day morning was the day set to go. — Friday evening he picked up his daily Free Press to look at the time-table of the road he was to go on. There wasn’t any time-table in it. Then he swore. He swore that no newspaper cared a picayune for the convenience of the public. He swore that, to his best un derstanding, the time-table had been left out to make room for other adver tising. He hunted up several dailies, sent t(< his neighbors and borrowed, and at last found out that none of the roads running out of Detroit advertised their time-tables. Then he swore. He swore that it was a nice state of affairs, and his coachman, gardener, cook and chambermaid agreed with him. He wanted to know whether railroad trains were run in order to take the conductor somewhere, or whether they were run to benefit the public, but the coachman couldn’t tell. Mr. Fink* erty realized that he would have to come down town. Then he swore. He swore that it would put him to five dollars’ troub’e to find out what he usefl to get in every issue of his paper, but he came down town. It took him half an hour.’ He got off at the City Hall and asked a policeman what time the morning train went out on the Pen nywise Railroad. The officer didn’t know, but referred Mr. F. to a respon sible grocer. Then he swore. He swore it was curious that a gro cer should know when the trains went out, and when he entered the store the grocer also thought iJTwas curious. He recommended Mr. F. to go to the post office, and in ten minutes the citizen was there. Then he swore. Be swore at the colored porter who superintends the sweeping out of the building, and who couldn’t tell what time any train came in or went out.— He thought, however, that they wouid know at the Free Press office, and Mr. Finkerty came down here. Then he swore. He swore it was outrageous to climb four hundred flights of stairs to be told that no one here knew when the trains went out. He was recommended to find a ticket offico if he could, and he start ed out on a hunt. Then he swore. He swore that he’d hunt this tewn into Lake St. Clair before he’d give up, and after inquiring of six men, four boys and a hand-organ grinder he at length found a ticket office. It was shut Then he swore. Then he swore some more: Then he swore until the innocent whip-poorwiil ceased his mournful song and flew into a knot-hole in a telegraph pole to escape being called as a wit. ness.; In an hour and a half from the time he left home Mr. Finkerty was back there. He kicked open his trunk, boot ed the family dog off the veranda, dropped into a splint-bottomed chair, and then— Then he swore. —Free Press. The Eizznd.

Why, d’ye suppose I’d come around here with a frog which you could put into a nail-keg !” “I suppose he’d go into a barrel,” tremblingly remarked the sergeant. “Gentlemen, you may have sailed across Lake St. Clair,” coldly replied the stranger, “but i#s plain to me that you never shoved a boat through the marshes. Would I fool away time on a frog no larger than a barrel ! Would a tag*boat chase such a frog?” “I shouldn’t be a bit surprised if this frog was as large as a hogshead,” ‘said the captain, “I’ve seen ’em up there even larger than that.” r “A hogshead 1 Gentlemen, I see that you don’t 3are for this frog, you are willing that I should ship it away to some other town. Good-bye, gentle men.” “Hold on !” called the captain, hold ing out his last cigar, “We believe you, of course. If you said this frog was as large as a wagon-box 1 should believe you, for I’ve seen ’em up there fully as large as that. Please give us the dimensions of this frog.” The man lit his cigar, took a pill box from his vest pocket, and shaking out a frog not over three days trans foimed from a pollywog he quietly ob served : “Gentlemen, get out your tape lines !” When they rose up he had vanished. Not a single baton him. —Detroit Free Press. English Etiquette- English etiquette demands the obser vances of two rules in connection with dinners, which it is the worst possible taste to violate in any country, many delinquents to the contrary notwithstan ding. They are that all dinner invita tious shall be answered at once—no waiting to see if a pleasanter enjoyment presents itself, and that the guest shall be punctual to the hour specified. That the success of the party depends large ly upon these is self-evident. The next important matter lies with the host or hostess, to settle beforehand the correct precedence, and, there is none, to con<* sider which couples best suit each oth er. There are several methods of ar ranging the order in which the guest are to go down ; one is for the host, be fore dinner is announced, to introduce each gentleman £o the lady whom he is to take to dinner; but this has its in* conveniences, and the wiser plan is thought to be foi the hostess to dis patch the guests herself, when the host has given his arm to the lady he takes down. Once arrived in the diniug rooui, the host should tell each couple as they appear where they are to sit.— An experienced hostess always takes special care not to seat husbands and wives opposito each other. One thing should never be forgotten. Ev ery gentleman must place the lady he escorts on his right hand. He should always, when desired to take her to dinner, offer her his right arm. Ladies and gentlemen enter the room singly, not arm-inarm, and the ladies retain their gloves until they are sotted, put ting them on again before leaving the dining-room. That Big Fr<tg, It was remem Oerecl afterwards that he had a sneaking, lowdown look, and the boys were sorry that they didn’t arrest him as the Nathan murde-er. He call ed at the Ninth Avenue Station and asked if they had an aquarium there, and if they didn’t want a St. Clair frog to put in it, and he add ed : “Gentlemen. It is a frog which I caught myself, and he really ought to be on exhibition. I never saw a frog of his size before.” “How large is it ?” inquired a ser geant, instinctively glaaciug towards the top of the coal stovo. “Gentlemen, I hate to give you the figures, because I’m a stranger,” repli* cd the man. “There’s some old whoppers up in the lake,” put in one of the relief squad. “I’ve seen ’em as big as a stove cover, and even bigger.” “Well, someone ought to have this frog who can feed him up well,” said the stranger. “I ain’t iriuch on natural science, and I’ve seen about all there is to seo, but this frog—great heavens 1 Some man ought to take him round the country !” “How did you catch him ?” asked the captain. “Run him down with'a tug and threw a fish net over him.” “And he’s a monster, eh ?” “A monster ! Well, I don’t want to give you dimensions. Three reporters were at my house last night to get his length over all, breadth of beam and carrying capacity, but I wouldn’t let them in. I don’t care for the glory of the capture, but simply desire the ad vancement of the general interests of the State.” “I’ve heard sailors tell of seeing frogs up there as large as a nail keg, but I thought they were lying,” observed the sergeant. An editor headed an article “Vil lainy on Foot,” and ninety-seven of his friends called early next morning* to find out how tho editor had lost his horse. “I am astonished, my dear young la dy, at your sentiments ; you make me start.” “Well, 1 have been wanting you to start for the last*hour.” Sir Walter Scott and Iho Doctor. Sir Walter Scott was once in a small English town, where his servant fel sick, and ho was under the necessity of sendiug for a doctor. There were two in the town, one who had been long es tablished, and one anew comer. The latter gentleman was fortunately founc at home, and lost no time in obeying Sir Walter’s summons, who, looking up when he entered, saw before him a giave, sagacious-looking man, attirec in black, with a shovel hat, in whom, to his utter astonishment, he recognized a Scottish blacksmith, who had formerly practiced with considerable success as a veterinary operator in the neighborhood of Ashesticl. “How in all the world 1” exclaimcc Sir Walter, “came *ou here ?

He llal liis Name in the Paper. Oh, no, a man don’t like to have his name in print! It never flatters his vanity at all ! The other day, while a man from Norwalk was doing up some Commercials a reporter said : “Ah, my friend, we put your name in print, did we ?” Then tho Norwalker looked up, and assumed an important, cynical air as he said : “My name in print! Humph. I’d be a fool to save a paper because my name appeared in it. If I saved all the papers that had had my name in them, I would have enough to fill a barn. There was an article in the pa per which pleased me and I thought it would interest some of my friends.— That’s why I was marking those pa pers. if you are curious to know, sir.— I don’t notice whether or not you had put my name in the paper, but if you have done so I do not thank you, for it.
