( f wfs Smer. A Love Atong. BY CHARLES SWATS. I wish my love were some fair stream, Soft singing through her woodland way And I some star, whose loving beam Might in her bosom rest its ray. I wish my love were like the dew, Half hidden like the rose’s lip, And I the young dawn trembling through; The fragrance none but I might sip* I wish—like flowers that fondly meet And cheer and charm the humblest spot Our lives might blend while life was sweet, And even death divide us not!

Another Love Song. BY TUBA DAM. »■ I- - .1 I I wish my love were lemon punch. With strawberries floating in the cup, And she and I could meet at lunch— Then, with a straw —I’d suck her up! I wish my love were like the Jew, And had gold laid away instore— Dye think I’d read exchanges through; Or write for papers any more? I wish—like flowers that fondly meet, And bloom to furnish bees their honey, We had some way—while life is sweet — Os keeping house—without much money.

Miscellaneous items* A • Why is a lawyer like one who is Jong getting asleep ? Because he lies first on one side, then ou the other. The old lady who used to dry clothes on the Equinoctial Line has gone to Greenland to get the North Pole to draw cistern water with. A little girl hearing the remark that all people were once children, artlessly inquired : “Who took care of the little babies/’’ The Chicago grain elevators are said to harbor ten thousand rats apiece, and it is estimated that these vermin cat up four hundred thousand dollars’ worth of grain and Hour annually. Thesis eon sequently.a loud call for the invention of a rat proof building. A woman at a dispensary ap plied for medical aid, stating- her disease to be flirtation of the heart. “Not an uncommon ailment with your sex, ma’am,” said the doctor, with a twinkle of the eye, “but it is not dangerous if tht proper 1 remedy is applied.”

The consumption of boor in Munich mil throughout all Bavaria is something wonderful. It is emphatically the national beverage, employing something like six thousand establishments, which make over a hundred million galions every year, and, though lightly taxed, the amount from this source paid into the Treasury is more than one half of Tovcnnc of this prosperous kingdom. Tiie banks of the Main pro* duce good wines, but beer is the universal drink; given to the women, and to children from their earliest infancy almost. Drunkenness notwithstanding is said to be of rare occurrence.

A Grave Airair. A manufacturer of tombstones, in our place, lately received a call from a country man who wanted a stope to place over the grave of his j mother. After looking around I for some time, and making sundry remarks about the taste of his deceased mother, he finally pitched upon one which the. stonecutter had prepared for another person. ‘■l like this one," said he. “Bat.” said the manufacturer. ! “that belongs to another man, and has Mrs. Perry's name cut on it: it wouldn’t do for your mother.”.* I “Oh, yes it would,” said the : countryman, “she couldn't read! And besides,' lie continued, as he observed the wonderment of the stonecutter, “Perry was always a favorite name of hers, anyhow!” Moles. —A correspondent of an ( E iglish paper says “’Hie fol lowing remedy to remove moles may lie of use to some of your readers. I had one on my face, which I frequently cut whjle shaving. I removed it without any i trouble, merely by applying a stick 4 ! of nitrate of silver to it once or i twice. Moisten the stick—very ! slightly is sullieient-tuuch the mole once, and it will turn black. Do 1 not interfere with it while sore ; it will dry up and fallotf like a scab. If it does not come olf clean enough the first time, repeat the operation.” A Useful Doo—A Benton peasant, on his way to Paris, stop|>ed at a barber's shop in Rambouillet. While the barber was strap- ; ping his rax >r the peasant noticed a dog sitting near his chair and | staring at him fixedly. “What is the matter with that dog,” said the ; l>e«h>aut, “that he stares so at me ?" ! Hie barber answered with an tin | concerned air: “That dog is al there.. You see him when I cut olfn |mocc ofnn ear— ’’ “Weil ?’ "tFi'lf. he efts ft”
