She felt she loved him as she heard, But yet she answered “No.'

She saw him rise, she saw him stand, As staggering from a blow; She could have kissed his trem

But still she answered “No.”

And so he goes—to come no more! ut let him only go,

iler voice will ca.) him from the door,— Who trusts a woman’s *‘No.”

Dumas, speaking of a young man who couidn’t write anything, but obtained grest vogue by haunting lierary reunions and assiduously cultivating the society of ar- tists, once said: ‘He is a newspaper wray - per that thinks itself journalism,”

A rich but parsimonious and very old gentleman, on being taken to task for his uncharitableness, said; **Trne, 1 don’t give wuch; bat if you only knew how it hurts ye when I give anything, you wouldnt wonder. 1 am in hopes to tcel diflerent when J inherit brother bill's property.”

Perhaps children are the silver vords that bind us to heaven, and yet a man does’nt think about that who, alter listening until three o'clock in the mormng to the music o} his infant, just glances wearily at bis watch, aud remarks to his wife, “ My dear, I think iii go out into the woodsshed and try to get a little sleep.”

A righteous Louisina judge, in a case in- volving a question of the ownership of 4 hog, ruled out both plaintilf and cetendant, and gave the animal to one of the witness- ‘s The noteworthy feature of this deci- ~ion «8 not that plaintiff and defendant came away empty handed, but that the law- yers didn’t have a chance to divide the hog jelween themselves.

SUMMER SEPARATION.

(From the Danbury News.

June is the month of love, joy, anu August that cof its agony. In dune Lwe heuris knit together aud became one, hi Avglst two bodies seperate. . She goes

away to see her mother’s auat in the cour- “aud he stays at home, working th teaudinil of duty. This comes bard on ais men, DUL its weight is the heaviest on the grocery clerk, His heart is not im his werk. ttuw can it be? Where the treasure ts there will the heare be a'so, and the treasure ts Ia awa sle cannot counterfeit successfully that expression of all-absurbing interesi which makes a clerkship a thing of beauty, Certainly his is a most critical task. The variety and diversity of the articles in whish the deals require tha, he shsuid keep bis wits about him. In this particular he 1s in almost as much danger as the drug clerk, while the opportuniues for shpping are a hundred fold. A Danbury mau who went tu a drug store to have a perscription pre- pared, Seeing nobody but a clerk present, said :—

‘Young man are you keeping company with a girl?”

« Yes blush,

Do you think the world of her?”

‘] de,’ said the clerk tirmly, although blushing considerably,

“Js she in town?” persued the custome: anxiously.

No, sires She is away on a visit.”

“ Phat will do,” said the man, decisively® * You can’t feel around any prescripuion tos me.” And he went away.

But it is the grocery clerk who has tk strnggie from earcy morn tll late at mglt with a flood of annoyances. Whep de dips late the sugar bertel he tuinks cf her lips ued Ip culling the cheese he is ie- winded cf the ! his devotion to her, and when he teoks inte the batter ferkin his thoughts siray to tir bar. When he would go away by timsell aud give expres- sion to lis emetions he is cbliged to help lifta barrel of corn beef, or roll a cask of san or open a cask cf lard. lt is only when he is dealing out mackerel that he feels as if he hid a companion in kis sorrow, &$)mpathiz- erin grief, ‘There is that softened, subdued light inthe eyes of a salt mackerel Which touches a responsive chord in the heart of suffering and wakens it to plaintive mlody.
