My solitary, wifeless existence in this secluded grove must not be ascribed to poverty or misanthropy. as I own several nice farms and would graciously permit any middle-aged lady to superintend the said real estate and my piano; but my solitary life is due to my two besetting sins—having loved too many girls, and having been too good. 1 am myself too far advanced in life to gain benefit from my sad expe- rience, but it might be of value to those who are not too old to learn. the laconic allusion that I wasn't the worst boy in my native village on the Rhine. When asked what I intended to make of myself, I always answered by looking at the nearest girl handy. My father, who was a physician of considerable fame, had a burning de- do their own dressmaking.

My arrival at the seat of | learning caused some head-shaking among the skull-capped professors and considerable giggling among the stu- | dents. To remove my bashfulness 1 { was ordered to occupy a dark corner | of the schoolroom—all to myself— i where 1 was told to study the nnm-‘ | omy of a grinning monkey, and to tell | what I knew about the bones lhen\ the teacher came around. But, alas! I was disturbed in my anatomical studies by a rattling noise in the back yard. Casting my eyes from my subject into the back yard, 1 espled a fair maiden pumping cis- tern water with all her might. She looked up and I again looked down, until the fair pumper had filled the bucket and pumped my heart clear into the back yard. 1 forgot to peruse any more the frightful skeleton, but my eyes con- stantly explored the contents of that fatal back yard. The fair pumper, my first love, was seen by me no more. I pined and be- came haggard-looking; my teachersi ‘felt my pulse and shipped me home without delay. 1 recovered from the fever in about two months, and went to a circus. T} became greatly interested in the wax- ! figures of Cain, who killed Abel, and' in the eleven good apostles. { But the curtain rose, when, lo nndl ! behold! there stood a lassie iwith shining golden hair. T loved her with- out the least preliminaries, and couldn’t sleep for many nights on ac- count of the charming circus-girl. Then 1 emigrated to this country, where I have been entirely too good, and loved fair damsels by the score. Ha! didn’t I think that by carrying my whole early apple crop to those three Sand Hill ladies the oldest would reciprocate my ardent affection? But ‘she snubbed me as soon as the early apples ceased coming. And that preacher’s daughter, whom 1 don’t wish to mention the four school-marms I once dearly but vainly ; \ about my short marriage with an ex- war-widow, who cost me $7 for the | knot-tying and $700 for loosening it. | \ I am now nearly seventy years of | age, lead a frugal life, supply several ! destitute widows with fuel, and live ! a hermit life in this patch of timber ' which some sarcastic local newspa- per writer christened Misery Grove, ! because, as he fiendishly explained, “Old Peter is a miser in misery.” | | I will persist that I would be as { happy as the majority if I were equal- ! .ly mean. But the way it stands I am | i without & peer in this section, by rea- gon of having loved too many glrla,‘ and having practiced that other be- | getting sin, not having been good enough to myself, but too good to! others. When Iceland Went Dry. The first European parliament to en- force teetotalism was that of Iceland, where a law was passed two years ago prohibiting the importation or sale of intoxicating liquors. One effect of this measure was to deprive the foreign consuls at Reykjavik of their drink, so l tuted an infringement of the rights of dlplnmacy Permission was thereupon ! granted the consuls to import beer, wine and spirits, provided these fluids are consumed only on the premises to | which they are consigned. Moreover, | the total amount imported by each consul must not exceed 800 liters in a year, and the quantity required must | be imported in one consignment. Only the representatives of France and Norway benefit by this concession. The other consuls are unpaid, and, be- ing natives of Iceland, were expressly oxcludod from its benefits. A ed.
