Just a wave of perfume rare,
And he sprang to meet her there
Un bhe stair.
As he caught her unawere,
She protested : "Don't you dare 1"
But he kissed her fair and square,
And he left her blushing there
On the stair.
With demure, unruffled air,
As she sank into a chair,
All the girls were olaetered there
In bhe glare—
Nothing warned ber, "Have a care 1"
Someone, smiling, cried, "Look there I

WHEN WE KEPT STORE.
Do you remember, brother Joe, the dear
old days when we
Embarked in brisk commercial life as
hopeful as could be,
Investing all the boarded wealth of cop-
pers, cents and dimes
And going into bankruptcy at least a
dozen times ?
A dozen times at least, I say, but fancy it
was more. •
We failed and ate our stook of goods
When we kept store.
We opened in the ooal'•honse onoe with
eighteen gaudy stioks
Of candy in an old fruit jar. (A nickel
purohased six,
And, having fifteen Dente, we stocked as
far as it would go,
Buying direct from Mr. Mears, the
gr0oery man, you know,)
But not customer appeared, I very
much deplore
To say. In feat, none ever came
When we kept store.
One time you sold your rage and bones,
and I gave you a whip
Which you had coveted for half a work-
ing partnership,
And, invoicing some peppermint, some
pins and indigo,
We opened in the haymow, with our
spirits all aglow,
We thought the pins and blue would lure
housekeepers by the score,
But neer a person same to buy
When we kept store,
He vigorously advertised in sheete most
neatly penned,
But if the people read our bike they did
not comprehend,
Or, oolnpreheuding, trusted not moroh-
auts of tender years,
But most discouragingly dna (10 trade)

Driving ne by the scantiness of patronage

And yea, I undetstand, possess a pretty

But eomotimes I look back and wish that

THE BRUSSELS POST
VIE GRASSHOPPER AND THE GOOD S[JGGEST1ON.
ANT, --
It would be well for many of the peon
pie who are given to worrying to pay
Yu lait..ty 4 (1.(. l .1'.:i'+, ..r•r
to be absolutely true.
The Protector was sending a epeeist
envoy to Sweden in the person of l:oehrod
Whitolook, g most devout man, but one
of an extremely nervous, anxious temper.
emsnt, Utile ambassador wee about to
embark on tie journey, he was detained
et t;i irk by n einem, /In wan BO
troubled with the affairs of the nation
that he L.oaed, tutt.eJ zed r,o sued in hie
bed, unable bo get to sleep.
At last hie ooufidentlal servant, who
had won Wbitelock's respect and con-
fidence through his Iaithfulnees and good
aspen nn many n train,/ nceasion, vendor.
et/ 14.4 say, -.Limy, sir, win y,.0 give tt•W
leave to aslc you a question ?"
"Oertainly," was the answer,
"Do yon nob think that God governed
the world very well before you came into
it?"
"Undoubtedly I do," said Whitelock.
"And," e0nblnued the servant, "do you
not think He will govern it quite as well
when you are gone out of it ?"
"To be sure He will," responded the
mealier, promptly.
"Than, sir, 1X0l10e me, bet may you not
trust Frim to govern Attie little while you
are to live in it ?"
Whitolook made no reply to this pertin-
ent question, but ho turned over and was
soon asleep ; and on his return he repeat-
ed the story of this bit of advice with
nleel; appreciation.
A grasshupper sat in Iles n0ush-covorod
ohair,
And extended his fent to the fire ;
He had slippers of felt and a cap of red
silt,
And all that one's heart could desire,
And he was just thinking, with sabiefed
mind,
Of his larder's bounteous store,
When the butler arena•:neeee with a lank
of disdain,
A little black ant at the door.
This little ant's tale was distressing to
hear,
'T ,' hated w t.. • • i !..--..
And all the provisions laid in for a year,
Were eaten end gone loug ago.
The grasshopper loaned his thin on his
baud,
And he thought of that day in the past,
Whoa an uoolo of hers tel0 an old mint of
his
She could danoe in the Wintry blast.
Bob he gave her some mittens, a hood
and shawl,
A box filled with everyblaing nits ;
As he tenderly helped her down the front
steps,
Ho added this parting advice
"I fear, my dear ant, you work too slow
When the Summer days are long ;
Whenever I find things are falling behind
I brace myself up with a song.
"Now, bore is a point, jest bear it in
mind,
When you start out again in bbd Spring,
You can do more work, in much less
time,
If you merrily whistle and sing."
THE CLOWN'S BABY.
n tt on theesi
VJ ern £sootier
Tim miners rugged
ulsd brown,
Were gathered around the pesters—
The oiroue had some to town 1
The great tent shone in the darkness
Like a wonderful palace of light,
And rough men crowded the entrance-
5bo^re didn't come every night 1
Not a woman's face among them ;
Many a face that was bad,
And some that wore only vacant,
And some that were very sad.
And behind a canvas curtain,
In a oorner of the plane,
The olown, with chalk and vermillion,
Was "makiug up" hie fate.
A weary -looking woman,
With a smile that still was sweet,
Served on a little garment,
With a cradle at ber feet.
Pantaloon stood ready and waiting;
It was time for the going on ;
Bet the clown in vain soareba. wildly—
The "property baby" was gone,
T;r murr+nt•'+P„ +mnetientl' hnntinp,
"It's strange that I emote find—
There I I've looked in every corner ;
It meet bave been left behind 1"
The millers were stampinii arid shouting,
They were not very patient men ;
The clown bent over the cradle—
e1 woe. unite ''you," 1 M Bon 1"
The mother started and shivered,
But trouble and want were near ;
She lifted her baby gently ;
"You'll be very care ul, dear ?"
"Careful ? You foolibh darling 1"
How tenderly it was said ;
While a smile shone through the chalk
and paint—
eI love each hair of his head I"
The noise rose into an uproar,
Misrule for the time was king ;
The clown, with a foolish ohuokle,
Bolted into the ring.
But, as with a squeak and flourish,
The fiddles closed their tans,
"You'll hold him as if he was made of
glass 1"
Said the clown to pantaloon.
The'jovial fellow nodded ;
"I've s couple myself," he said ;
"I know how to banal°'em, bless you
Old fellow, go ahead I"
The fun grew fest and furious,
And not one of all the crowd
Egad gueseed that the baby was alive,
When he soddenly laughed aloud.
Oh, that baby laugh ; it wag echoed
From the benches with a ring,
And the roughest customer there sprang
up
With "Boys, it's the real thing 1"
The ring was jammed in a minute ;
Not a man that did not strive
For "a shot at holding the baby"—
The baby that was "alive!"
$e was thronged by kneeling suitors
In the midst of the dusty ring,
And he held his comb right royally—
The fair little baby king—
Till one of the shouting courtiers,
A man with a bold, hard faoe,
The talk for miles of the country,
And the terror of the plane,
Raised the little king to hie shoulder,
And ahuokled, "Look at that 1"
As the chubby fingers clutched his hair ;
Then, "Boys, hand round the hat 1"
There never was such a babful
Of silver and gold and notes ;
People are not always penuilese
Because they don't Wear coats,
And then "Three chests for the baby 1"
I tell you those cheers were meant ;
And the way in which they were given
Was enough to raise the tent.
And then there was sudden silence,
And a gruff old miner said
"Oome, boys ; enough of this rumpus 1
Ib's time it was put to bed,'
So, looping a little sheepish,
But with feces strangely bright,
The audience, somewhat lingering,
Flocked oub into the night,
And the bold•faoed leader ohuokled t
"He wasn't a bit afraid 1

THE GREAT MOUSE HUNT.
A lady, while engaged in bbd pursuit of
her domestic duties, encountered m mouse
in a flour barrel. Now, most ladies, un-
der similar oiroometanoes, would have
uttered e.few genuine shrieks, and then
sought safety in the garret ; but this one
possessed more than the ordinary degree
of genuine courage. Sbe summoned the
manservant and told him to get the gun,

and started across the floor. The dog at
