Your wife, Maggie, loves mo. That you know and instead of our separation conquering1 this passion, it only inflames it and to-day we love oaeb other more and mure, and no itter what elso may happen, it will never lessen, but continuo growing in strength. You know you are not happy—that is not a„word iu your vocabulary—you have ever boon jealous and distrustful, and uiust luivo known that Maggie did not love you a', least, if you could not see it others could. I am 'willing to wait yoars for her. Such a lovo as she bears for me is not found every day, year or century. You may think I am mistaken well, if 1 am, let tho fault rest with nle.

A little* five j'ear old Voy was being instructed in morals by his grandmother. Shetold him that all such terms as "by thunder," "by golly," "by jingo," etc., were only little oaths, and but little better than other profanities. In fact, Rho said, he could toll a profane oath by the prefix "by". All such were oaths. "Well, then, grandmoth er, is 'by telegraph,' which I see in the newspapers, swearing?" "No," said the old lady, "that's only lying

List yoarodr souls wore terror-strick-en by the well authenticated repoit that the fly pestilence was a sure prognostlcntor ot tho coming of tho cholera, tho yellow lever, the black tongue, the whooping cough and tho mumns. This season our nerves are soothed by the assertion that an Immense fly crop is a pertain indication of a remarkably healthy period, and that undertakers are grieved at tho tdgn and going Into mourning in conscquence. If the latter should be the case, tho altuOftt iQtolotable nuisances may be endured with a reasonable degree of fortitude, but housewives will wonder where all tho llies do come from. The conundrum is becoming mora perplexing thau the nncieut ono concerning tho ultimate destination of the pin product. Tho supply Is largely In excess of the demand nU'l apparently inexhaustible. Countless millious are lured to their death by cunnlug devices of glass and wire containing tnnchorous eutranoe baited with sugar experts can catch hAiuislul by a flight turn of either Nvrist, innumerable boys endeavor to thin the swarius by the impaling process lusty women crush them^ with towels, brooms, and skilfully wielded dusters thousand^ die the death by becoming hopelessly entangled in the mouths of molasses jugs.

It Is an astonishing thing how little a matter will sometimes ulsconccrt a mtiu who Is accustomed to speak in public, and to have his thoughts about hiui and ready at command on almost all occasions, "I was onco opening a speech from the stump," said distinguished Western political orator to us recently, "and was just beginning to warm with my sub)act, when a remarkably clear and deli be rale voice spoke out behind me, aayias. MCJuess h« wouldn't talk quite so hifalutln if he knew that bis trowsers was bu'st clean out behind!' From that moment I couldn't get on. The people began to langh, and I dared not reverse my position lor fear of having new beholders of my condition. I made, or Invented, au excuse for delay and sat down. "The malicious acoandr*l," continued the orator, "it wa» only trick after all. There was nothing under h*aT«n the matter wltk my a Mentlonsbles."
