I haVe thought* of getting married
When I’ve seen thee, Mary Jane,
With thy dainty silks and satins.
With thy petticoat and train.
But a whisper came across me,
Like a sign with omen rife—
“Ah, ’tis yery well to marry,
But, oh! canst thou keep a wife?’*
If the last new bonnet suits thee,
Canst thou wear it still the same.
Though a newer pattern tempt thee.
Lately handed down to fame?
Will a dress or two content thee
When stern fashion orders more.
And a solitary headdress do
Instead of half a score?
But they tell me I am raving
To expect so strange a thing.
And they laugh to scorn my musings
And the hopes to which I cling.
So I fear I must resign thee
And a bachelor remain,
Yet I never can forget thee.
Oh, too costly Mary Jane!

A friend of mine has just had a most un­

widow, and by some coincidence took her
to the same hotel where she stopped with
her first spouse. At table she said to
Charles, the bridegroom, “Will you kindly
pass the butter, John?” Avision of “John,”
his predecessor, flitted before the bride­
groom, who indignantly replied, “My name
is not John; it is Charles.” “Excuse my
mistake, Charles,’’ she said, and then, tast­

As From His Cyclone Pit.
It was a tempestous night on the Atlan
tic, and the great steamer with its pre
cious freight of human lives was tossed
about like a cockleshell. The tremendous
waves hurled themselves against the walls
of steel, and dashing in impotent fury
over the decks shook the leviathan from
bowsprit to rudder post. No one was vis­
ible about the ship, except such of the
crew as necessity compelled to face the
storm, and they were in imminent danger
every moment. The passengers, in mortal
terror, were huddled together in the cabin
below. Just as a frightful blast had al­
most thrown the ship on her beam ends,
the officer of the deck saw a passenger
stick his frowzled head up through a hatch­
way.
“Get back there!” yelled the officer.
“Say, eap,” came an answering yell,
“is the roof gone yet?”
“No. Get back there!”
“Have any of the walls give in yet?”
“No. Get back, I tell you!”
“Has the old women or the children
been blowed out of the second story win­
dow yet?”
“Get back, I tell you! No.”
“None of the neighbors been blowed in
through the shed roof yet?”
“No, no. I tell you get back down that
hatchway, you blamed fool!”and the offi­
cer started for the passenger.
“’Tain’t so bad as I thought it was!”
came a final yell as the passenger dodged
into the depths below and disappeared.
“Well, who in thunder was that?” ask­
ed the officer of the purser, who stood by.
“He’s all right!” howled the purser.
“He comes from the cyclone belt in Kan­
sas.”—Detroit Free Press.

Life.
Old man Sam was sitting one morning
in front of his cabin enjoying the warmth
of the sun, while his two little grandsons
played about his feet.
Just then the young sons of his former
master, who were visiting in the neighbor­
hood, strolled up to have a chat with Sam.
After talking with him awhile they hand­
ed him a bag of tobacco and a handful of
cigars and were about to leave when they
observed the children, and one of them
asked whose they were.
“Dem’s my gran’sons. Mirny’s boys,”
replied Sam.
A sudden thought seemed to come to
him as he looked at the young men, and a
crafty look crept over his face as he added:
“Dey’s named after you an Mars’ An­
drew, Mars’ Milton, ’cause dey’s twins, jes’,
like you is.”
The brothers commented on the fine looks
of the children and their wonderful differ­
ence in size for twins.
“One twin ginerally is bigger’n t’er one,”
explained Sam.
The young men smiled and gave each
child a quarter as they left.
They had scarcely turned the corner ol
the cabin when they saw, through a crack,
Sam take the coins from the children, look
at them and with a grunt of disappoint­
ment at what he considered the small re­
turn of his artifice drop them in his own
pocket.
“Mirny,” he called to his daughter, stand­
ing in the door, “you call dem chillens Sam
an Jake, same ez you always done. Dey
ain’t no two bit chillen. Hit’s wuth er dol­
lar to change dey names, an I had to make

Plucky Mrs. Bishop.
The Hon. Tommy Arden had never
known a day’s luck since he married the
sweetest and the best girl in the world.
He had been a sad rake in a quiet fash­
ion, and had lived in the best possible
way for as long as any of the youngsters
could remember. Nobody quite knew
how he had done it, and nobody partic­
ularly cared. He was always well
dressed, always well shaved and brushed
up, always rode in the best hansoms,
always dined at the Cafe Royal with
somebody, and went everywhere.
“Everywhere” meant the Empire till
closing time, afterward one smart
dance, and then a flash club—he made
a point of never going to a respectable
club after dinner.
In the summer he always took a turn
in the row; was seen in the lobby of the
opera during one act; was generally to
be met at Sandown and Kempton, and
occasionally at Ranelagh on Sundays;
strolled about the lawn at Cowes during
the regatta week, and in the off season
was never seen, but said he was “shoot­
ing in the north till I run over to Ostend
for a flutter.”
Where he lived was known to no one.
On what he lived was known only to in­
dividuals separately to whom he said he
had the devil’s own luck. This did not
mean he made a book, or if it did it was
false, but the general impression was
that he knew the inside of everything,
and that if he were not so scrupulous
about secrets and would only let his
friends stand in of tener he would make
their fortunes and his own. His own
explanation was that he never made a
bet unless he “knew something,” and
that was how he always won. The re­
sult was that his adviqe was always
asked, and when he gave it always fol­
lowed. The real truth was that the
Hon. Tommy had never made a bet in
his life.
When he married he gave it all up.
He was truly attached to his wife and
abandoned everything for her. He was
no more seen at music halls and flash
clubs, and he dined at home and never
went out alone afterward. Everybody
thought it would all come right, as they
called it, in six months; but it did not,
and to the surprise of everybody Tom­
my got shabbier and shabbier in appear­
ance, and was seen on omnibuses and
in the underground railway and other
inexpensive and bourgeois places. The
result was his former friends said he
had married a shrew, and that he would
kick over the traces some day.
The truth was Tommy was in love with
his wife, and she was never so happy as
in his company, and nothing was so re-
pellant to him as his old associates and
his old ways. But virtue is its own re­
ward, and the reward of virtue which
the Hon. Tommy experienced was a per­
petual shower of county court sum­
monses, for his commissions for recom­
mending stock brokers, advertisements,
wine merchants, tailors, pictures and
other recognized forms of livelihood by
which he had tried to earn what he
called a respectable living had not proved
very remunerative.
Things had arrived at this pass when
the brokers were put in for two quar­
ters’ rent. During the five days allowed
by law Tommy had flown about to try
and collect the commissions due to him,
with which to pay the fifty pounds that
were so expedient to the quieting of his
blue eyed and brown haired little wife,
who, though sadly troubled, had taken
his word for it that it would be “all
right.” His efforts were almost in vain,
and he went to see the agent “to explain
the situation” and ask for time. He was
lucky in only seeing a sympathetic clerk,
who kindly pointed out to him that he
was entitled by law to an extension of
fifteen days. In his joy at learning this
he confided his position to Mrs. Tommy,
who in her own sweet way, believing
absolutely in her own love and the love
of her husband, said:
“But why bother, Tommy, darling,
trying to earn the money?”
“How else can I get it, my dear girl?”
“Oh, why not bet as you used to do?
They all say you are so clever and have
such luck; I am sure you would win it
all in next to no time.”
“Oh, I have given up all that sort of
thing, and hate it more than 1 can tell
you. It is not to be thought of in con­
nection with you.”
“Oh, nonsense, Tommy! You must
not let me ruin you; and I am sure all
the very best people bet. Horse racing
is a noble sport; and, though you never
confess it to me, you must have made a
lot of money at it.”
“My dear child, it can’t be done now.”
“I do not know how, 01; I would go
and win you a fortune. How do you
bet?”
“I don’t bet!”
i “Don’t be silly! How used you to
bet? I always wanted to know. Doesn’t
the bookmaker lay against all the
horses!”
“Yes.”
“And do you back all the horses?”
“Good heavens! No. If you did that
how could you win?”
“Why? The bookmaker lays against
all the horses, and he always wins,
doesn’t he?’’
