Lord bless my soul can this be you
My first and fondesl' fairy,
Who used to trip among the flowers
So zephyr-like and airy
Why! Jupiter! you're grown as big
And fatty rs pudding!
What can have brought ubou, change
So singular and suddinS'
All, me- l do remember, now
lis strange how was thinking.
IT'S something like a dozen years,
Since yod were young and shrinking.
And-yes-why, lud' wonder how
My memory niscarred!
You-let me see-why yes! think,
You are-whv yes! you're married
1t all comes back see it now.
The time tina, you and Rogers,
Became, by virlne ola priest,
A pair Of legal dodgers.
You went to--somewhere-where was il,
One Of the foreign slations;-
And now have just returned, s'pcse,
TO sec youl old relations.
Quite glad 10 sec you, ma m! but, Lord!
Tha, cap Is awful horid,
And then your face, i, seems 10 me.
Is just shade to ford
And then | must confess your hair
Looks, very like the false-well!
And nv! your fgure-do you dance'
don't believe you'd waltz well.
But stop. oh thunder! how you eat!
Why, madam, remember,
Tho last Thanksgiving day we met,
Twas sometime in December,
You didn't eat enough to keep
Your blessed lie goin',-
Pray don't be bashfuI bout this fowl.
They've got another dom!
And that large body by your side,
or flesh and blood arrangement.
Who must have had from beef and wine
A very sad ens,rahgenenl-
That body. nam, | calc ulate.
So foreign-ike and hairy,
is the thing that pleased J our mother so.
The thing you chose 10 marry
So, he has changed hat, l see,
As well my dear as you, eh'
Iii, nose was always rather red,
But now it's rather blue-y.
And then his face, as observe,
Is much more full and haler-

The federalists in this State showed
good grit in mastering for "Harry of the
West" after their cause and candidates
had been irretrievably lost in the Union
The democrats, satisfied with The laurels
already won and having no reasonable
expectation ofcarrying the State for"Lm-
my Polk Of Tennessee" failed to make
a general rally. We hold that it is the
duty of every freeman to discharge faith
fully this important duty.-Patriot.
The democracy of this state have a
rule, it would seem, that works both
ways, most admirably. In 1910 they
were sure of a dtsat in the union and for
that reason they didn't turn out. In 1914
they were sure ola .uictory in the union,
and for that reason they didn't turn OUT
There is one consolation in the matter, and
that is, that however the democracy Of
Vermont may prove recreant TO their du'
tv, their excuses for their unfaithlu!ness
are pretty much used up.
And perhaps there is another consul
laton which however, none but the hut
men among US may enjoy, and that is,

sleeping in damp sheets that seemed to have settled
IN consumption. He raised good deal of bloody
matter and his cough was SO harrassiDg and inces-
SAINT that he could get 10 rest by day or night. AZ
Ter irving various remedies without relief, he thot
that death alone would relieve him of his misery
But by the advice of a lady he purchased a box of
Shermsu's c ugh Lozenges; they gave him great
relief and to his surprise ailayed his cough made
him rest easy, and enabled him to sleep sound all
night; three days use of them made new man Of
him, and he is recommending Sherman's Lozenges
TO all his acquantances.
