Why is a melancholy young lady the pleaaantest of all companions? — Because she is always a- musing. "This yer Centennial Star-spangled business is going too far," observed Guzzler, as he picked his way home. "I — I don't mind Beein' stars an' Btripes a wavin' all day ; but dash my buttons if it's ze right sing for every lamp post to chuck stars an' spangles in your eyes when you happen to touch it suddenly. See Mayor 'bout it mornin'." After all, man is a weak creature. And so it is that a young man, loving truly and tenderly— aye, loving with that deep and passionate love which makes earth more - than paradise— will sometimes weakly hesitate whether to buy her a work bf^ with a looking-glass in the lid for Christmas, or invest the money in a suit of winter flannels for himself. — ' ' Norwich Bulletin.
