TEE WRONG BOX


Larry MMullen was clerk in . store
Where dry.goods by wholesale were sold;
The most Of bis business was sweeping the floor,
And knocking the boxes about the door;
OF writing and reading he knew nothiug more
Than the colt that is half a year old.
Now a rich widow from Libbareep sent
To purchase some merchandise rare,
And to packing it up in . box Larry went,
But, q little bit corned and wild labor ~o'erspent
He stumbled and fell in q box that was meant
For a different description Of ware.
All night he lay snug in a beautiful drame,
Till morning crawled over the sky;
Then to nail up the boxes the carpenter came,
According to orders he fastened the same,
And the place was so dark that nobody could
blame
nLarry he did not espy.
Then the fellow who marked all the boxes drew
nigh.
And a bad piece of business he made,
For he wrote on the box in which Larry did lie
"For Mrs. Mclaughlin; take care and keep dry"
Alas for poor Larry, how soon he would die,
Hthat scurvey command were obeyed!
The box was sent by the railroad in haste,
In the widows fine dwelling it sat,
AN NC WIuOW WIN udu q uIcCudHiCdl TASTE,
Next seized on a Ratchet and quickly uncased
M'Mullen, who roared like q terrified haste:
"Och! smithereens, what are ye aty'
The widow was horribly frightened At first
At what seemed an internal machine,
Expecting to see fifty fends from it bursti
But when she discovered a man was the worst,
Her tears were all ended, her doubts were dispers-
And her rapture plain to be seen.
"oce! Molly, look herep thus she cried TO her
"Come and see what the marchinfs have sent.p
] wrote for such things a. a wilder might made,
And faith, but the fellows have strictly obeyed;
Bad luck to me now bu I'LL see them we'll paid,
For they give me intire content!
'Whers am lY' says Lazy: aFaix darlint, you're
The widow replied with q smile,
Cries the lad, $50 I am, sure enough; but I fear
! have sent the wrong box" aNever mind il tiny
DEAR"
Said Mistress Mclaughlin and gave him a leer
That cut to his heart like a ile. sa
1Irs happy | am, fhen,n M'Mullen reioined,
"Ifthe goods suit your ladyship's taste.
fdry goods you wanted, You'll sartiniy find
That I'll suit you at once. foI Pm that very kind"
"very well, then" says she, .rhat's the goods to
my mind,
And now let rs send for the Praist.''

ORIGIN or THE GREYTows AFFAIR.-The
New York Evening Post publishes some new
developments in the Greytown affair, which il
says are perfectly authentic. The demand for
SIG, 900 by the United States government for
the alleged concealment of property stolen by
parties from the accessory transit company, was
based upon the following comparatively triAing
occurrence
A black man by the name Of McGraw had
some difficulty with the agent Of the company.
and demanded and obtained his discharge from
their employ. He borrowed boat from an
employee Of the company for the purpose Of
crossing with his family 10 Greytown. As he
put off from the shore he was challenged by
som5 one at the Point, and fired at. He con
tinued his course, and was followed by the par
ty who had fred at him, and who, with several
others, partially intoxicated, pursued him to the
Grcytown police station. The city marshal,
hearing the disturbance, came forth from his
bed, and after some trouble re-establshed order.
The next day petty employee of the company
came to the city, and stated that McGraw had
stolen the comPany's boat He was informed
that if the company's agent would make affida-
Wit Of the fact before the mayor, the man would
be delivered up. The company's agent decline
ed doing this on the ground that his instructions
did not allow him to recognize the GrcytOwn
authorities.
With regard TO the insult 10 Mr. Borland,
which that gentleman has endeayored TO place
upon the shoulders Of the city authorities and
the majority Of the people, the Post, after
showing that il was the action Of an individual
only, and that the authorities and many private
citizens exerted themselves 10 discover the au-
thor, publishes letter recently forwarded To
the government by Mr. Fabens, and which was
addressed by the city attorney Of Greytown TO
him, on the morning of the day succeeding the
outrage, and which, after expressing the deter
mnaton Of the city authorities to punish the
offender, solicited from bin any information
which would facilitate the steps which bad been
taken to bring him to justice. The Post asks
why was not this letter published with the 9TH
er official papers relative to the affair, setting
forth the grounds taken by the city authorities
which grounds should have been thoroughly
investigated before serious decision was made

MISCELLANY.
From the Hampshire Gazette.
FAMILIAR sKETCHEs OF
CONNIE CTICUT VALLEY.
THE FIGHT AT TURNER'S FALLS.

The heart rendng calamity at Bloody Brook
we have already chronicled. The blow which
may be considered in all its circumstances, the
particular revenge for that massacre, was struck
at Turner's Falls. II was the severest shock
the Indians received during King Philips war
It was here that the peculiar tactics of the saw
age foe were turned upon himself with four fold
vengeance. The surprise was complete, the re-
yenge ample, and the power ofPhilip humbled.
The war had proceeded with various sue
cesses on both sides. Springfield had been
burned; Hatfield and Northampton attacked ;
the settlements were watched, every straggler
cut of an deyery unguarded point assailed. The
operations in the eastern part of the state, where
by the aid of the Connecticut river troops, a
large fort and enoampment of the Indians--in
fact the strong hold of the enemy-in swamp
near So. Kingston, II. l., was attacked and
broken up and some thousand Indians killed and
mortally wounded, had driven large numbers o
them upon the Connecticut river In The spring
of 1916, extensive eneampmenis Of them wer'
gathered in this vicinity. Their number being
estimated at no less than 5000, One-third o

ExTRAvAoAST HARITs-THE EvLs THEY

the philosophers, the historians, and lhe states

ent descriptions Of writers have descanied on
the vices, luxury and extravaganza in their own
particular vein mental, moral, social, political,
and pecuniary, just as the spirit moved them.
We do not intend to inniei on our readers a
homily on the vice or folly of extravagani liv-
ing-all that we propose TO do is ITO call the at
tention Of that most excellent, agreeable, and
beautiful class of the readers of the Journal, to
wit (as the lawyers say,) the old maids, and
the young maids, 10 the serious injury that the
luxurious and exiravaganl habits Of fashionable
society inhicis on them. We hold these to be
established and well evidenced irulhs-that al
men want TO be rich, and all women want TO b
married, Now one of the first and perhaps
the most prominent evils of extravagant habit
I in society is that they operate 10 prevent mar

Until Time TO Death resigned me,
