A FEW SERIOUS THOUGHTS.
It is a well known fact that oil and water will not mix. If this were only true of milk and water, how happy we would be. A musician never knows how much his efforts are not appreciated until the people in the next house complain to the landlord. There is no easier way in the world for one to lose a good name than to have it engraved on the handle of an umbrella. A slipper nsed judiciously will often make a dull child smart. A photographer has a way of taking things that wonld not be tolerated in any other line of business. A dentist may be a jolly good fellow, but he has a way of looking down in the mouth that is contradictory.
* Mary, fetch my overcoat out of the hall, and bring me an easy chair into the garden, I've just spotted my mother-in law coming np to the house, and when she rings yon can tell her I’m out. I don’t mind spending my evening with Mars, but I bar my wife’s.’
