A Controlling Feature.
Brown—The facial features plainly indicate character and disposition. In selecting your wife were you governed by her chin?
Jones—No, but I have been ever since we married.
—Omaha World.
A Jersey Idyl.
Night after night a witching sprite,
Outside among the roses,
Sings lullabies; but to my eyes
Her form she ne'er discloses.
She hides away the livelong day,
And keeps herself secluded;
To reach her side in vain I've tried;
My efforts she's eluded.
