BalzacTs Cynical Words.
When arascal is loved by an
bonest woman, she either be-
}comes criminal or he an honest
man.
Next to the pleasure of admir-
~ing the woman we love is that of
seeing her admired by others.
Woman lives by sentiment,
Where man lives by action.
oAs you please� is the wife's
first word of indifterence.
Money matters-cin always be
settled, but feelings are pitiless.
There are but few moral
wounds that solitude does: not
cure.
A man should find all women in
his wife, :
There are sOme men who are
always polite"they have gloved
souls.
Women are apt to see chiefly
the defects of a man of talent and
the merits of » fool.
No man has yet been able to
discover the means of giving
friendly advice toa woman, not
even his own wife.
Lové, after giving more than it
has, ends by giving less than it
receives.
Perhaps in nine cases in every
ten the reports of alleged orace
warsT telegraphed from the South
are mere pervisions of such com-
mon brawls as are likely to occur
whenever and wherever the con-
nection is made between a mean
|man and mean whiskey. They
are christened o~race wars� by men

A SONG-OF GOLDEN CURLS. ~
Stay a little, golden curls. Twinkling eyes of
blue,
Stay and see the violets, for they are kin to
you.
Linger where the frolic winds around the gar-
dens race,
Cheeks, like lovely mirrors, where the red rose
' gees its face. &

' All the birds~are singing.
oSweet! Sweet!T
The blossom bells are ringing.
Kisses from the red rose
_ And kisses from the white"
Kissing you good morning
And Kissing you good night.
Stay 4 little, golden curls, Brightening eye:
of blue,
The violets are listening for the lovely steps
of you.
The wihte rose bids you welcome, the red rose
calls yon, sweet,
4nd the daisies spread a carpet for the falling
of your feet, |
oSweet! Sweet!�
All the birds are singing.
oSweet! Sweet!� .
The blossom bells are ringing.
Kisses fromT the red rose
And. kisses from the white"
Kissing you good morning
And kissing you good night.
"Frank L. Stanton in Chicago Times-Herald.
Taught Him a Lesson.
He was a State street cable car
conductor of most surly and disa-
greeable temper. When a woman
carrying altogether too large a bun-
dle for her strength boarded the car,
he grumbled a running five minutes
straight about the perversity of hu-
man nature in general and of the
feminine sex in particular. A few
~moments before he had viciouslyT
kicked at a newsboy who. dared
stand on the platform while selling
a newspaper. At Adams: street a
portly military looking gentleman
and his wife got on the car.
~That is the smallest I have,�T
said the ~tnilitary gentleman as he
tendered a $5 bill for fare,
The conductor growled again and
grumbled inaudibly, but finally dug
into his pockets for the change.
First he gave, two silver dollars,
then 90 cents"all in dimes"and
then the balance in quarters. He
seemed in an exceedingly great hur.
ry as hé handed the quarters to his
passenger. The other passengers no-
ticed it too.
Now, it so happened that in the
change mado a very bad quarter
was on the point of calling the sur.T
ly conductor back when he discov-
ered the latter had handed him nine
instead of eight quarters. That de-
cided him to hold his peace. He
wasnTt out in any event. They had
ridden quite a distance when the
conductor came back again.
oDidn't I. give, you too muchT
change?TT he inquired frowningly
and in a tone that plainly insinu-
ated, ~Well, youTre a nice fellow tc
try to beat a poor conductor.�T
**You did,� the man said. ~~You
gave me a very bad quarter which
you were very anxious to shove on
me, but as I could not possibly use it
iY nM give it back to you. Hereit is,TT
The other passengers who had
witnessed the whole: performance
laughed outright, their, tantalizing
sneers following the surly conductor
to the door, which he opened and
then slammed with /: bang. "Chica-}-
