PROPOSAL OF THE FUTURE.
When she proposed my heart beat
, fast ;
My blushes came, with eyes downcast
I listened while she told her love.
While earth below and Heaven
above
Had seemed to meet at last, at last !
She begged me not her hope to blast,
And sh w: the wealth she had
amssed
Was for us twain more than enough,
When she proposed.
I could not turn from love so vast
When I was as an angel clvssed,
And ~caught-and kissed and called
her odue� ;
So while I thrilled with joy therof,
A trembling oyes� from my lips passed,
When she proposed.

Typhoid Fever"Its Causes and

The causes of 'l'y phoid fever are
not, we believe, fully agreed upon
by the medical ~profession. TheT
germ theory is the one yenerally
accepted and the. germs, it 19;
claimed, are transmitted in the
main through the water we drink.
How they are propngated is an-
_ other question, and here the au-
thorities differ. This diseuse is

Cats are susceptible to little at-

kept in one place, on which she is
trained to lie to prevent her cover-
ing the furniture with hairs. Only
two have been completely broken of
the habit, and Lalla has so exclusive

is in the corner of a sofa, that if she

the floor before him, looking him
out of countenance until be moves,

Wednesday evening as the fair ex
Littlefield, a flag station just below
Ayden, some miscreant threw a_ brick
at the train. The heavy missile struck
the upper glass of a window to one of
the coaches, crashing against the inner
blind which was partially lowered and
saved it from coming inside theT coach.
But for the brick striking so high
doubtless some one in the coach would
have been badly hurt. Miss Lizze
Spain sat nearest to the window, Mr.
J. V. Johnson occupying the other
portion of the seat,
shattered glass flew about the young
lady, but. fortunately she received no
injury.
The conductor was engaged in an-
other part of the train at the time and
did not learn of the occurrence until
the train had gone a mile or two be-
yond. He said theT railroad anthori«
~ties would send a man down to try and
ascertain who threw the brick. We

prove successfull and that he will be
