Is true and really so.
lie said that I was pretty,
And looked extremely well
I wonder if he meant it 1
How I wish that I could tell.
I wonder if he meant if, .
Or did it for a lark,
When, going home, to dim the light,
And kiss me in the dark!
I never can get angry.
He's such an awful quiz ; .
And then he comes so often
I don't know how it is 1
I wonder if he meant it!
The saucy, endless tease.
To place his arms around my waist
And give me such a squeeze.
I'm sure he thinks I love him,
" Because I don't refuse , . i..
To please and entertain him
Whenever he may choose.
I really think he loves me, '
For, just before he went,
He kissed me twice, and once again,
And said 'twas only lent.
To-morrow night he's coming.
To tease me jut the same;
So if there's any damage tlonc
I'm not the one to blame,
Wrongheads. Among the most unpleas
ant people ona is compelled to rub shoulders
with on lif highway, are the class whose
minds tke h.ld of everyihing, as it were,
the wrong end foremost. They are usually
as obstinate as perverse, and th- fal?e infer
ences ihey draw from niL-apprehended prem
ise" they adhere to with a.s muck tenaciiy
as if they:wpre gosptl iru'li. One knows
nut how to deal wi a guch incorriiribles.
; Good-hunnred rallying th-y are as likely as
not to mistake lor studied n snlt, kind words
for humbug, endeavors lo instruct and con
vince for airs of superioiity, and what every
one msy do or say with a view of benefit
ing them, for insidious attempts to get on
their blind side. Their field of moral vision
is filled with a mist of suspicion, which dis
torts every thing, and it is in vain to reason
with then, for you c in no more do away wiih
their absurd impressions than you can wipe
out craven letters with a eponire. Error?,
i we mppose, is to them what truth is to right
minded men and women, and they cling to
it because they believe in it. They are ob
jects of enmmisseration, yet being unaba ta
ble nu;sances, it is prudent to give them a
wide birth! It is really a sad thing to le
pre-disposed by nature to misconceive and
misconstrue; but it is equ.tlly unpleasant to
be misunderstood and misconstrued.
A Lessor in Saving. When 1 got mar
ried, Mrs. O'Lanus and myself passed a
joint resolution that we would get rich.
Getting the furniture took all our capital in
hand, but I was to givo Mrs. O'Lanus all
the money I got; she was to buy only what
was wanted, and put the rest in the savings
bank.
The first year wc wanted more than we
could buy, and the bank account came out
without a balance.
The next year my salary was increased.
So was the family.
Likewise the expenses.
Bank account same as year before.
Third year, diito.
We continued to accumulate at the same
rate for several years in succefsion.
Then the war broke out, and we conclud
ed not to put money in the bank for the pre
sent, because things were then so uncer
tain. Since then, Imng has been high, and we
have concluded to postpone the accumula
tion of a fortune until the income tax is a
boliched, and groceries become reasonable.
A Poser. A calm, blue-eyed, self-possessed
young lady, in a village "downcast
received a long call the other day from a
prying old spinster, who after prolonging her
stay beyond even her own conception of the
young lady's endurance, came to the main
question which brought her thither. .
"Ive been atked a good many times if you
was engaged to Dr. C . Now, if folks
inquire again if you be or not, what shall I
tell them I think "
Tell them," answered . the young lady,
fixing her calm blue eyes in unblushing stea
diness upon the inquisitive features of her
interrogator, "tell them you think you don't
know, and you are sure it is uone of your
business."
Adnertising. It is a poor argument that
a merchant brings forward in support of his
plea, "lhat advertising does not pay," when
he tells you be never did such a tiling, and
does not c i re. about beginning now. Dr.
Campbell twys of advertising: "The firm
er plan's his seed, and while he is sleeping
the corn is growing." So with advertising.
While yoii are sleeping or eating, or conver
sing with one set of customers, your adver
tisement is bein re id by hundreds and thou
sands of persons who never saw yon r heard
of j'our business, nor never would had it not
been for your advertisement appearing in the
p.iper." .

Mrs. Grant to the post of "Lady of the

that the position is one. which Mr. Grant

The Spanish Minister at Washington has
expressed considerable uneasiness at the
reported moveuieuts of Cuban filibbusters 1
throughout tbe country, and hasad resscd
several comuicnications to Mr. Seward on
the subject. Mr. Seward has assured liiui
that no vessel will be allowed to leave any

It is said that Gen. Graut is likely, in
his first message to advocate such an a
mendment of the Constitution as shall
make the President ineligible to re-election.
It is a good thing to do, albeit not

President in his fiibt term, and it would be
just like Gen. Grant to do it.
