A lady fair, with golden hair,
And eyes as bright as stars,
With pensive air sat in chair,
Within the railroad cars.
On her lap, sucking Of pap,
Reclining was baby,
Who might have been about sixteen
Months old-may be.
The baby cried, and then she sighed,
And wished its pa was home,
An old gent near, asked her the year
In which its pa had-mizzled.
She raised her eyes and then she cries.
In sentimental tone:
"I'hree long gears I've passed in tears.
Since William is been gone"
The gent, he says, elbow can it be?
Your baby is but chit"
"What's that to me, dear sir?" says she,

LATEST YET.-Sometime during the
summer Of 1910, corn being scarce in the
upper country, and one Of the citizens
being hard pressed for bread, having worn
shreadbare the hospitality of his generous
ncighbors ny his extreme lazness, they
thought it an act of charity to bury him.
Accordingly he was carried toward the
place Of nterment, and being met by one
of the citizens, the following conversation
took e:-"Hallo! what have you
there?n "Poor Old Mr.. S." "What are
YOU going to do with him!" "Bury him.
UWhat! is he dead? hadn't heard of it,"
"No, he is not dead; but he might as well
be; for he has no corn and he is too lazy
to work for any," "That is too cruel for
civilized people; IN give him two bush
els of corn myself, rather than see him
buried alive" Mr.. S. raised the cover,
and asked in his usual dragging tone, els
it s-h-e-l-l-e-d?" "No, but you can soon
shell it," "D-r-i-v-e On, h-o-y-s.''
