Contentment.
They say that I am wearing my life away
Out here in the country so far from town,
That genteel ways will never be mine,
Nor fashion's approval, nor wide renown,
So long as I work and my hands are brown.
And with homely work fill the book of "Time."
But they do not know how happy I am
In filling the place of mother and wife,
That the waving grain and the blissful heart call
And better, far better than fashion's srife,
And better, far better than fashion's srife,
Yes, better than riches and farm and milk,
-Bertha Packard Engle, in Good Housekeep-
A Maxim for Young Wives.
Not love you as I did before.
We married? (This little stork, my dear,
Is it like they do you more,
(Your biceps did not bake, I four.)
When you have passed away from earth¹
O, do not speak of that, I beg²
Will praise and love your modest worth³
(Why can't I sometimes have an egg?)
You can not cook as mother old?
I know it sweet, and wish you could.
But talents, very oft, are hid—
(This coffee has a taste of wood.)
**You try to please me all you can?**
I’m very sure you do, my sweet.
I am a reasonable man.
(Pray was this omelet made to eat)
My love will last until I die,
(My, this oatmeal!)
No matter, Leah,
But then I wish that you would try
To have it boiled a little, dear.
Think more of eating than of you?
Now that, indeed, you can not prove.
But this instead is strictly true.
A man must eat to survive, or死.
C. H. Thayer, in *Life*
By and By.
Down the stream where the tide is clearer,
Further on where the shores are fair,
Are the gracious forms we would fain be nearer,
The names we speak in the voice of prayer.
Be the voyage long they will be the dearer
When after white shores they shall there,
Further on where the tide is clearer,
Down the stream where the shores are fair.
By and by when the sun is shining,
After while when the skies are clear,
When the cloud unfolds its silver lining
And shores of the peaceful isles draw near,
We shall free our tongues from their dull replay
And lift hearts with the words of cheer—
After while when the sun is shining.
By and by when the skies are clear.

Diamonds in Demand.
Once I wore a maden suit and wit,
Whose haunted, dismayed my every care;
She led me on and sore my patience tasked,
Until one, ever her heart and hand I sailed.
She heard my plea, and in a frigid way
Accepted me, but would not name the day;
Elated and o'joyed I slyly thought:
"I'll fix the day now that my lady's caught it."
**And** flashed them back again in myriad streams.
I plied her with a circlet, gemmed and rare, and she no longer the borer of her golden hair—
That caught on my neck.
The formal air she wore at once gave way
To keen delight, and in a manner gay
She kissed the pledge and brightly beamed or
he,
Then freely vowed the truest constancy.
We're married now; whatever's mine is hers!
Of that I'm told whenever chance occurs.
The ring I gave her on that happy day
Has lost its charm and other things have
way.
For instance—Now, ain't my lady dear
Demands a diamond for each tiny ear.
Ah me! at this rate I can plainly see
I soon shall be more surely,
— Frank B. Welch, in The Jeweler.
Sure Rout
A moment and come in his way,
And rather than silence choosing,
The coal-dealer's office-boy sat one day
A book with attention perusing.
then asked his employer: What is the book?
That you take such an interest in, sony!
The boy at the title gave a look
And answered: "The Way to Make Money."
Of plans to make money there isn't a one
Beats mine I am confident, sony.
Gets married and married back to the ton
And you'll find that the weight to make money.

WE ARE GOING TO THE I.C.G.STORE.
We heard that they wanted money We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up. Now here are the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap, get on the outside of some ourselves.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. Store to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they knew they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowing how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and clothe himself and family, I made a new resolve on January 1, 1890, that instead of his always having that troubled look on his face we would meet him with a smile when he returned home after a day's work and show him how much ready cash we had saved by trading at the
