cries ware heartrending.

Once there was a maid whose beauty
Put to shame the choicest art;
Yet she'd shirk no household duty,
And she even had a heart,
O'er her faco smiles chased each other
Like the sunbeams in the rose—
And she never let her mother
Swoop the stops or wash the clothes.
Every eight the grand piano
Sluig, responsive to her touch—
And this maid of charming mannor
Oft made bread, and pies, and such.
She was fair of form and feature,
Diamonds paled beneath her glance—
Yet this handsome dazzling creature
Used to mend her brother's pants.

THE OLD MAN SETTLED THE
QUESTION.
.A. lady eat In her cushioned chair,
Chewing away on her gum ;
The crimps and curls were so tight in her
hair
That the pain was too awfully some.
That eve she expeoted hor lover to come,
And loosened the bangs of her hair ;
Then trona her sweet month she ejected the
gum,
And tossed it aside on a chair.
The lover he came as the twilight fell,
And smiled on the maiden so fair ;
He clasped her and hold her a good little
Spell,
Then sat himself down in to chair.
The lover %axed warm and warm waxed
the wax,
And he drummed a to doodle do dum,
Flo was struck on the girl, and alas and by
Jade
lie was stuck on that horrible gum.
And thus the youth reasoned, with mind all
a rack,
And his thoughts all mixed in a whirl;
Is 11 better to carry the chair on his back
Or leave his best pants with the girl?
But the old man settled the question for
him,
As ho twined his long claws in his hair,
And hustled him out of the door with a
vim—
And the lover went off with the chair.
The Ntugara Whirlpool.
The whirlpool, well called"the an-
griest bit of water in the world," is
three miles below the great Falls of
Niagara. At this point the' river,
bending toward the Canada side, is
ooutracted to a width of about 220
feet. The waters rush violently into
a deep depression in tho steep cliff
that rises on the Canada side, Hien
they emerge, turning back almost at
a right angle to the American aide.
Thie seems to bo a portion of the bed
of an ancient channel. Here the
angry waters boil and churn with a
fierceness almost incredible. The
waves are never at rest. They toss
and whirl and toy with the heaviest
timber. It makes ono dizzy to look
at the fierce tumult of the waves.
' The great maelstrom covers a apace
of about a quarter of a mile square.
Its depths are enormous and unknown.

whirlpool is in the form of a large cir-

of water moving through the canyon

whirlpool at one side, spinning a-

madly on.
