Love’s lev Test, —The other evening, says the Detroit Free Press, as a patient policeman was pacing his boat on Howard-strcet, a young man passed him and ran up a (light of stone steps and rang the bell. The officer heard the door open, a young lady’s voice sing out, and ho said to himself; “ Tis love’s young dream.” lie was just moving on when another young man approached, looked up at the house and in a sheepish way asked the officer if he had seen anyone go in. Ito was informed of what had occurred a moment before, and he gasped : “ It was that sneaking chap from Cass-avcnue.” He walked on, and the officer walked, but ton minutes later the young roan climbed the stone steps with a pail of water in his hand and emptied its contents over every stone. Ho was sitting on the horse-block opposite as the officer came back, meaning to stay there until Iris plan unfolded or until lie froze to death. He diiln’t freeze. In about ten minutes the door opposite opened, two voices wore hoard fora moment, and then the young man from Cass-avenne came down the steps on iris car, Jus elbow, his shoulder-blade, Ins heel, or on most any part of tiro human make-up. Ho struck the sidewalk shot across it to tire gutter, and came to a standstill with iris head in tiro snow. There was a peal of laughter from tiro house as tiro door shut, and the watcher on tiro horse-block chuckled and remarked: “ That heartless laugh was not uttered by a woman who loves—l’m hunky !” Five minutes later ho carefully crawled up the icy steps, and the good policeman hoard him cordially greeted, and mused : ” AVell, if there ain’t more’n seventeen different ways of finding out if a girl loves you !” It was a Frenchman—the famous Carliuc—who, contentedly laying his head upon a largo stone jar for a pillow, replied to one who inquired if it was not rather hard : “ Not at all, for I have stuffed it with hay.” It was an American lecturer who solemnly said one evening ; “ Parents you may have children : or, if not, your daughters may have. ’’ It was a German orator who, warming with his subject, exclaimed ; “ There is no man, woman or child in the house who has arrived at the ago of fifty years but what has felt the the truth thundering through their minds for centuries. ” Flohilin'e !—Fen the Teeth amp Breath.—A few drops of the liquid “ Floriline,” sprinkled on a net tooth-brush, produce a pleasant lather, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from all parasites or impurities, hardens the gums, prevent tartar, stops decay, gives to the tooth a peculiarly pearl whiteness, and a delightful fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant odors arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoko. “The Fragrant Floriline,” being composed in part of honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to thei taste, and the greatest toilet discovery of tlic ago..
