THE FRIARS OF DIJON.-A TALE
By Z. Canh6eN.
When honest men confessed their sins,
And paid the church genteelly-
In Burgundy two Capuchins
Lived jovially and freely.
They march'd about from place to place,
With shriit and dispensation
And mended broken consciences,
Soul-inkers by vocation.
One friar was Father Bopiface,
And he meier knew disquiet,
Save when CONDEMNED to saying grace
Der Notifying diet.
The other was lean Dominick,
Whose slender form, and sal!ow,
Woold scarce have made candlewick
Vor Bonifacefs talow.
Albeit, he tippied like FISH,
Though not the same potation;
And mortal man ne err cleared dish
With nmbler mastication.
Those saints without the skirts arrived,
One evening late, TO pigeon

MISREPRESENTATION
Men left their beds, and night cappd head
Poppd out from every easement;
The cats ran frightened on the leads;
Dillon was all amazement.
Doors bangd, dogs bay'd, and boys hurra'd
Threats CAPPED aghast in bare rows,
Till soundest.sleeping watchmen woke,
And even at last the mayor rose
Who, charging him before police,
Demands of Dominick surly,
What earthquake, fire, or breach of peace,
Made all this hurly-burly!
Ass--quoth the priest--ass-asslns, Sir,
Are (hence league, or nigher)
About TO salt, scrape, massacre,
And barrel up friar.
Soon, at the magistrates command,
A troop from the gens-d 'armes house
OF twenty men rode sword in hand,
To storm the bloody farm's-house.
As they were cantering toward the place,
Comes Jacquez TO the swineyard,
But started when great round face
Cried, Rascal, hold thy whinyard.
'Twas Boniface, as maids King Lear,
Playing antics in the piggery -
"And what the devil brought you here,
You mountain of friar, eh 90
All, once how Jolly, now how wan,
And biubber'd with the vapours,
That frantic Capuchin began
To cut fantastic capers--
Crying, Help, hollo, the bellows blow,
The pot is on to stew me;
/ am pretty pig, but, no!
They snail not barbecue me.
Nor was this raving fit sham;
In truth, he was historical,
Until they brought him cut dram,
And that wrought like miracle.
Just as the horsemen halted near,
Crying, Murderer, stop, ohoy' OH
Jacquez was comforting the frere
With good glass OF noyeau--
Who beckon'd tc them not to kick up
A row but, waxing mellow,
Squeezed Jacquez' hand, and with hiccup
Said, You're damnd good fellow,
Explaining lost but little breath -
Here ended all the matter;
So God save Queen Elizabeth,
And long live Henry Quatre!
The gems d'armes at the story broke
Into horse.Gts OF laughter,
And, as if they had known the joke,
Their horses neigh'd thererealter.
Lean Dominick, methnks, his chape
Yawn'd weary, worn, and moodys
So may my readers too perhaps,
And thus wish EN- Good day.

WILMINGTON, TUESDAY, MARCH,

a country pair for aims, that lived
About league fro. Dion
Whose suppefpot was set to boil,
On iaggots brisky cracking:
The friars enter'd, with a smile
To Jacquez and to Jacqueine.
They how'd, and bless'd the dame, and then
In pious terms besought her,
To give two holy minded men
meal OF bread and water.
For water and crust they crave,
Those mouths that even on Lent days
Scarce knew the taste of water, save
When watering Tor dainues.
Quoth Jacquez, "rhat were sorry cheer
For men fatgued and dusty
And if ye suppd on crusts, fear
You'd so to bed but crusty."
So forth he brought flask of rich
Wine fit to feast Sienus,
And siands, at the sight of which
They laugh'd like two hyanas.
Alternately, the host and spouse
Regaled each pardon-guager,
Who told them tales right marvellous,
And lied as for wager
Bout churches like balloons convey'd
With aeronautic martyrs;
And wells made warm, where holy maid
Had only dipt her garters.
And if their hearers CAPPED, guess,
With jaws three inch asunder,
Twas partly out OF WEAKNESS,
And partly out Of wonder.
Then striking up duets, the Freres
Went on to sing in matches,
From psalms 10 sentimental airs,
From these to gees and catches.
AT last they would have danced outright,
Like balloon and tame bear,
If JacqueE he'd not drunk good night,
And shown them to their chamber.
The room was high, the hosts was nigh
Had wife or he suspicion,
That monks would make raree-show
OF chlnls in the partition
Or that two Confessors would come,
Their holy ears out-reaching
10 conversations as hum drum
Almost as their own preachinge
Shame on you, Frars of orders gray,
That peeping knet, and wrggling,
And when ye should have gone to pray.
Betook yourselves to gigging
But every deed will have its need:
And bark what information
Has made the sinners, in trice,
Look black with CONSERVATION.
The farmer on hone prepares
His knife, a long and keen one;
And talks Of killing both the Freres,
The fat ore, and the lean one.
Tomorrow, by the break of day,
He orders too, salt pelrc,
And pickling-tubs but, reader, stay,
Our host was no man eater.
The priests knew rot that country.icIk
Gave pigs the name of frars;
But startled, wltess Of the joke,
AS if they'd trod On briars.
Meanwhile, as they perspircd with dread,
The hair of either craven
Had stood erect upon his head.
But that their heads were shaven.
What, pickle and smoke US limb by limb!
God curse him and his lardners
St. Peter will bedeyiI him,
If he salt-petres Friars.
Yet, Dominick, to die the bare
Idea shakes one oddly -
Yes, BoniIace, It's time we were
Beginning to be godiy.
Would that, for absolution's sake
OF all our sins and cogging,
We had whip to give and take
A last kind mutual Rogging.
o Dominck, thy neither end
Should bleed for expiation,
And thou shouldst have, my dear fat friend,
A glorious dagellation.
But having neer switch, poor souls,
They how'd like weeping willows,
And told the Saints long rigmaroles
of all their peccadilios.
