HOSS HEAD AND THE FOPS.

Hotels have now become so numerous in
cities, and the fare so reasonable, that they
are the resort, at times, OF nearly all classes
of society. The man who can afford to
travel from home, can afford to stop at d
hotel and as landlords are smart enough to
regard the wants oil the million as well as
those OF the millionaire, we find the rich and
the poor, the high and the humble, side by
side at hotel tables. Homespun there sports
a silver fork with as much gusto as MIR.
BroadcIolh, and the humble "Saly" is as
much entitled to and enjoys as fully, the
good things Of life at the richly loaded Ia.
bic OF the hotel, as the accomplished Miss
Josephine Martha Washington Victoria Ma
ria. Consequently the hotel is good place
to study human nature, for there we see
men, and women too, from all the walks o.
life, and of sll classes of character. Often
extremes meet and when such is the case,
amusing circumstances are sure 10 transpir.
Sitting one evening in the office of o.
House, of Cincinnati. my attention was at
tracled toward two genuine and unadultera.
ted tops, who occupied seats near Inc. A
description of them would be uninteresting,
for there is no community in this broad land
of ours without its fops, and a fop is top,
and nothing else, the world over. They ad-
nit OF but one distinclion-city fop ard
country Top; and they differ only in the ex.
tent OF their dress, or exterior display, it
being conceded, believe, that all fops pos.
sess merely sufficient brains to make an ami.
NAL a human. The individuals referred to
were city fops. diminutive specimens Of hu.
manty, in every regard.
Que of them had received letter from a
lady. which he read TO his companion, to
whom he declared the writer was "chawm.
ingly beauchilul,' but, as sne was withou,

billet dour annoyed him exceed, as he dis.
liked 10 bweak the dwear cweature's heart.
While they were thus engagsd in conver
sation, tall strapping Hoosier entered the
hotel. He had "Buena Vista" on his head
and red flannel wamus" OH his shoulders
while his lower extremities were encased in
brown linsy pants, and the stoutest kind o
hog skin boots His hair was long and
scraggy, his face unsbaved, at least for a
week, while bis whole form was covered

sent them through the open door way, on
the pavement.
As soon as the fops could get up, they
ran off screaming murder;at the top of their
weak, feminine voices, which however, was
not loud enough to alarm any one. The
spectators of the scene neatly splitting their
sides with laughter, as kick after kick was
given, all heartily concurring in the opinion
that Hoss Head was administering a just
and well-deserved punishment After he
had given the last and most fearful kick, the
Hoosier resumed an erectIposition, and par
'ieipa'ing in the general roar of laughter
said:
"Wall, boys, guess ! hrned them dan.

THE SAND.

How pleasant tits to wander back
Ger memory's fairy-land,
To days when a "bare foot boy"
Made " footprints in the sand"
To days when childhood's guerdon-wealth
BY pleasures gale was famed;
To days when l, with mimic-plough,
Made burrows in the sand.
To days when l and Susy met
Upon the sea-girt strand;
And We vowed love, beneath the stars,
And wrote our names in sand.
But oh the change, to me how sad,
When Time lifts up his hand,
To see him turn his hours-glass,
And silt the fatal sand.
For such, | know, my fate must be.
Thss Death must burst the band
And I, too soon, be called to count
My life's last grain Of sand.
Then may study well the text,
To meet the stern demand
And read with less dis,rust and fear,
The language Of the sand.

A few days since, we took hunting stroll,

taking one prisoner.
Fish.-Fish abound very plentifully in

A party of us, few days ago, went to the

Let rs not too much demand

To assist him in the strife!

Just what God forbiddeth him.
Let US not too harshly speak
Of creatures fall,

To escape polution's thrall;
Some Temptation we despise
May have won his heart and eyes.
Let us not too rashly judge

And attend him what he saith;

That with us did never dwell.
Let us always bear in mind
What from man to man is due,
How we need that human kind
Should forgive and love US too;
And afford helping hand,
When we've fallen where they stand.
We are not of equal mould,
We have different lots 10 bear;
Some have heritage Of gold,
Some have toll, aud want, and care;
We should not our brother blame,
Till our lives are made the same.
1t is harshness to require
OF our fellow-creature man
That he do what We desire,

Though he gather little store,
We ourselves can do no more.
