'OKI men for counsel, young men
for war," but In politics wo might put
it thus: "OKI men for etrategeins and
? polls, young men for labor and toil."
Tli old counsellois look out tor their

A MODEL I.OYS LKTTEB.
TIf following epistle was written by
an Qnnndaiga lover to the "object of
his aft'ectlona," a widow lady, the
mother of three children. After the
passion had cooled and he failed to
"come to time," the lady sued him for
a brinu h of promise of marriage, and
recovered $300 as a healing balm for her
lacerated heart, ihe letter being part of
the evidence produced on trial.
Sty dear -Jfrg. M ' :
Every time I think of you my heart
flops up and down likeaehurn-dasher.
Bensatl jus of unutterable joy enpsruver
it like young goats on a stable roof, and
thrill through It like (Spanish needles
through a pair of torn linen trousers.
Asa goslin swimmeth in a mud puddle
so swim I In a sea of glory. Visions of
ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs
of a blacking brush and brighter than
the hues of a humming bird's pinions, ;
visit nie In my slumbers and borne on j
their iuvisible wings. Your Image!
stands out before meahd I reach out to'
,-ap it like a pointer snapping at n
bottle fly. When first I beheld
ngeiie perfections I was bewil

-ie under a, glass tumbler.
