When hilmnnkiud were pure of mini!

Before a love for sordid gold

Slaves to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I d stake 'em:
As buxom and smart and elean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em!

There are no boys like the good old

When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown

That dimpled the laughing heather:
When (he pewee sung to the summer

Of the bee in the willowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There Is no love like the good old lore
ihe lore that mother gave us!
We arc old, old men, yet we pine Again
For that precious grace God guve us!
Bo we dream and dream of the good old

And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder.
As those dear old dreams bring soothing

Indeed, more than friends, for he had

he had come by nppolutment to see

that his manner was chill nnd con
strained, but had had no opportunity
to dissipate that chill by her own cor
diality. Although It was not their reg

their friendship had been but an epl

the announcement of his marriage to

In the ctats de service of Gen. Galll-
fot, tho present War Minister of
France, there Is n curious uoto which
should endear him to the hearts of nil
fishermen. After paying n Just tribute
to his abilities, the note reads:
"Hut, unfortunntely, ho selects cx-
trnoidlunry companions."
Thereby bungs n fish story. Long
ago, In the days of tho second empire,
Gnlllfet was the nld-de-cnmp of Napo
leon III. At St. Cloud his qunrters
were Just over the Imperial bedroom.
Everything nrouua him was very grand
nud very gloomy. The window of his
room looked upon the pond that wash
ed the walls of the chateau. The water
was clear, nnd the surrounding scen
ery was beautiful; but tho young lleu-
tennnt felt like n prisoner. Early ouo
morning while seated nt his window
trying to drive nway the blues with n '
cigar he espied below In the crystal
water an etiorinous carp. The Instincts '
of the angler, strong In Gnlllfet, made
the young man's eyes snap and set his
heart a-throbblng.
The big flsh wns tho prlvnte property
of the Emperor. Consequently, for
Gnlllfet It wns forbidden fish. But It
was such a fine fellow! The resist
ance of the so.dler's conscience wni
useless. It surrendered uncondition
ally. The remnlnlng part of the cam
paign against the carp was simple
uough. Cnlllfet went to his trunk.
brought out his trusty line, to which
e fastened n hook and an nrtlllclal
bait With his nccustouied skill he
cast the line. The cam wus hocked
nd hauled In through the window.
Here the lieutenant's tun ended aud
is trouble began. The flsh lauded
pou n table, overturned n large globe
filled ilth water, and caromed from
that to a magnificent vase, which It also
upset and smashed to pieces upon the
floor. Then It began to execute a cenu-
no pas de carpe among the smither
eens.
The Emperor, hearing tho strange
racket overhead and seeing the water
trickling through the celling, was aston
ished. He rushed upstairs to find out
what was the matter. Gnlllfet heard
him coming and endeavored to grab
the carp and throw It out of the win
(low, nnd thus destroy the evidence of
his poaching In the Imperial pond. But
the slippery thing was hard to bold; so
lie tossed it Into the bed and covered
It up with the bed clothes. When the
Emperor entered the room he noticed
immediately the quivering bed clothes.
He pulled them down and uncovered
the floundering flsh. His majesty's
face nssumed an almost Jlm-Jnmlc ex
pression, which gradually faded Into a
faint smile. He took In the entire situ
ntion, saluted, and left the future War
Minister to medltnte upon the myBterles
of u fisherman's luck.
