TILE REASON WILY.
I know a little maiden who is always in a
harry,
She races through her breakfast to be in
time for school ;
She scribbles at her desk in a hasty sort
of flurry,
And 0om00 home in a breathless whirl
that fills the vestibule.
She hurries through her studying, elle
hurries through her sewing,
Like an engine at high preseure, as if
leisure were a crime
She always in a scramble, no matter
where she's going,
And yet—would you believe it—she nev-
er is in time 1
It seams a contradiction, until you know
the reason,
Bat I'm sure you think it simple, as I do,
when I state
That she never has been known to begin
a thing in Beason,
And she's always in a hurry, because she
starts too late.
WOIOTEI WHILE.
'Tia easy enough to be pleasant
When life Howe along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always mines with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praise of
earth
Ie the smile that cameo through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray ;
When without or within u0 voice of sin
Is Turing y of '
- 11 soul away ;
But its only a negative virtue
Until itis tried by faro,
And the life tbat is worth the honor of
earth
Is the one that reeieta deafre.
By the bynio, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The world's highway is cumbered to -day ;
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a Smile—
It is these that are worth the homage of
earth
For we find them but once in a while.
"FOUR TO six."
Candles dressed in tiny shirts
Provo themselves the worst of flute ;
Roses nod to violets near,
And smilax Beeks the chandelier,
When pretty little Mrs, Trix
Is tet home from four to six.
Fifty looks forty, and forty jest right,
In the flattering glow of a rosy light ;
And even a simple cap of tea
A halo wears, it seeing to me, •
When pretty little Mrs. Trix
Is at home from four to six.
My little lady with eyes of blue
Is charmed to He you --"Just looking for
you I"
Anda tiny maiden emilee into your face
And afore you ben bent with daintiest
greet,
When pretty little Mrs. Teix

Ladles trip ill by the swore ;

When pretty little Airs. Trix

11151Y BASEBALL RULES.
Ho who hesitates le ont.
A closed glove catches no !lies.
Strike whits the pitober is hot.
Where there's a hit there's a way.
The early bird oatohes the pennant.
A fool and his baso are soon parted.
Good pitehiug in time saves the nine.
It'e a short game that has no kicking.
Novel' look a gift pitcher in the month.
OE the making of errors there is no end.
The race is not always to the base run-
ner,
Two strikes is company, three is a
meet,
A swift rolling grounder gabbers no
]n080.
Xt's a poor hat that won't work both
ways.
If at first you don't euoneed try the out.
field.
Even the umpire will turn when trod-
den upon,
A reckless baso runner makes a fat
score card.
If wishes aver° home runs beggars would
root.

the fence.
There are no good umpires except dead
umpires.
Half a loaf on the bench is better than
none at all.
Abney makes the manager go and ex-
change players,
Where ignorance is bliss,'twerefolly to
attract the umpire's attention.
Don't match your catches before they
are patched.
There's many a elip'twixt the cup and
the champions.
It's a wise child that knows how to
keep a score card.
It's an ill wind that blows the ball into
the bleaobere.
The pltoher that goes to the races too
often is sure to gat broke,
He who hits and runs away will live to
hit another day.
It's a long game that isn't called on
a0cennt of darlaness.
Make fleet baso while the sun shines in
the fielder's eyes.
A bad beginning intakes a bad impres.
cion on the grand stand.
Outfielders, lilce infielders, come home
to roost on the umpire's nook.
