The Legend of Hesa. Won Stein.


Ont from the wild dark forest
Rode the terrible Heinz Won Stein,
He paused at the door of tavern,
And gazed at the swinging sign.
Then he sat himself down in a corner,
And growled for bottle of wine,
Up came with flask and corkecrew.
A maiden of beauty divine
Then he sighed with deep love longing,
And said, 'Oh, damsel mine,
Suppose you just give few kisses
To the valorous Ritter Won STEM
But she answered. IS the kissing business
Is not at all in my line.
And surely l shall not begin it,
On countenance ugly as thine"
Then the knighs was exceeding angry,
And he cursed, both coarse and fine
And he asked her what was the swindle,
For her sour and nasty wine!
And 1ercely he rode to his castle,
And sat himself down to dine,
And this is the fearful legend.
Of the terrible Heinz Won Stein.

messenger to stir up The heather, in the U. States

considerable when he gets into full operation But
we don't anticipate that he will be met with much
that is bland and warm and kind, outside of the

this STEP for if there is anything which will disgust
The fanatic abotionists of the North, it is to see
greater fool than themselves. Mr.. George Thomp-
son did good deal towards putting down the anti
slavery agitation at the North by exposing himself
and giving it turn in another direction: He was
