POINTS OF RESEMBLANCE.

One who is described as a ’‘promising young merchant” brought home one da ya handsome piano lamp. A few weeks afterwards he overheard his wife giving directions to the maid in respect of the disposition of ttihe drawing100m, n anticipation of the advent of a few friends who were coming that evening. She concluded her remarks with the words, “And put Mr. Wrigho upon the piano.” Taking his wife aside, he inquired the meaning of those strange words. “Oh.” she replied, “that is the piano lamp.” “And why,” be asked, “have you done roe the honour to name i:i> after me?” “Well, dear,” she explained, "you see it has a good deal of brass about it, it is very handsome to look, at, requires a good deal of attention, is very brilliant, is sofeSimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when only half full, flares up occasionally, is always out at bed time, and smokes too much.” WHEN THE SUN PEEPS THROUGH. The shadows will flee, and the world seem bright, When the sun peeps through; And day will rule on the throne of ‘night. When the sun peeps through. We will know each other lietter then, When the sun peeps through ; We will dream and love and kiss again, When the sun peeps through "io hearts will break as the years press on. And love will rule in a world of song; All broken hearts will be healed ere long,, When the sun peeps through. THE PROBLEM SOLVED. "Life here has its drawbacks,” saih the visitor to the cannibal isle, “but nevertheless I notice that you are ndt oodiered by the servant problem as we are in the civilised world.” “We settled all that long ago.” smiled the king easily. “We made it a rule that when a cook quits work she shall be cooked and served by her successor.” “You were no spring chicken when l married you!” shouted the husband. “No* but I was a goose!” she answered disdainfully.
