Then 1 stopped for a moment and gave it a kick,
And landed it out where they creased e'er the

And he ktokod it, pith every appearance of wrath.
A delicate girl tripping early to school,
With Iwleh.boxand satchel, came past wham it lay;
She was thinlaug, no doubt, of conte ditltcult rule,
Or Bunning the lesson set down for the day.
She paused for a foment -the hat met her eye-'
She bent her bead don nward, her lips formed a

Why the hat should be spurned and the shoe

The Pony.
A lady .who lives up town •lids a pony
of which- she- is very fond, but not long
stnce. she thought' that ..he was a little
cereal 1n. which Atneriba and India now
have a monopoly should be forced down

nited Kingdom, a result w • 1G' wx ' pro.

Out s11ot11d be materially lessened by
this threatened trouble.

The Chicago Tribune remaeked of a
young man who was regarded as 11
phenomenon because he took his sister
to all the best entertainments, and actu-
ally de'v.oted biintself to her during the
lecture and opera season. Being praised.
for his unusualattention to his sister,
the . young man promptly and proudly.
replied "
No,"there's nothing wonderful or
extraordinary about it. She is the only
woman I know ix whom I have the
most thorough confidence. Sheis al.
ways the same, pleasant and affection-

I'll take care she doee.not have to look

genuine, plan I won't object:„Until ,U'•11ti1'he
does come, she's good enough iter me,
and . if 1 ever find. as good a girl I'll

.The example is most commendable.
