His Cup Full to Overflowing.

Man born.of woman is of few days and fuH of sorrow. He passeth the slipper period with pasteboard in bis pantaloons. He goeth out a couple of times with the boys and is cut down by the glances of some pretty girl. His mother-in-law sitteth upon him in mortal combat and phangeth his sweet slumbers to raging nightmares, while in the dark of the honeymoon the frog singeth his doleful requiem of departed pleasure and identifies himself with the grand old party. —Nebraska City News. Poets and , novelists have expended their finest efforts, not always successfully, to bring back the days of childhood. But one bite into a sour “green apple” will carry one straight back to to the days of childhood in reality.
