CRINoLINE IN RHyME.-A lady with
a crinoline was walking down the street
her feathers futtered in the air-her
hoops stuck out feet. She walked the
earth as if she felt of it she was no part,
and proudly did she step along, for
pride was in her heart She did not see
a curly dog which walked close by her
side, all save the bushy tail of which her
crinoline did hide His tail the dog with
pleasure shook-it futtered in the wind
and from the lady's crinoline stuck out
foot behind. A crowd the tail soon
did espy, as it waved to and fro, and
like rudder seemed to point which way
the maid should go. The curly dog,
right pleased was he such quarters he
had got, and walked beside the lady in
kind of doggish trot. Each step the
lady now did take, served to increase
her train, while those who followed in
her wake roared out with might and
main. Some held their sides and laugh
ed SO hard, and many fairly cried, and
many even still confess that day they'd
''like to died" But still the lady sailed
along, in crinoline and pride, unmind-
ful of the crowd behind, or dog close by
her side. But soon another dog espied
the tail which futtered free-it so pro-
voked his doggish ire, he could not let
it be-but with deep, ferocious growl,
for battle straight he went, and meath
the lady's crinoline both dogs were
quickly pent. They fought, It's said
one hour or more-the lady nothing
knew-but with her head erect sailed
on, and did her way pursue. Some say
she never would have known at all
about the fight, had not one dog mistook
and gave her climb" an awful bite
But since that day I've heard it said,
the lady ne'er was seen upon the street,
with SO much pride--an1 such crino-
line.

u In her life of George Washington

If we were to give our private opinion

full share of influence over the Com

How AN AsTRoLoGER MISSED HIS
FL FURE. - An old French gentleman,
ma hed or nick-named Monsieur Frican-
dehu, was arrested for an assault and
battery on Herr Jacob Mitnacht, Ger
ma n gentleman lately arrived in Phila-
delphia, who condescends to tell for
tu4 4es by astrological observations. The
ca tse of the quarrel was thus related
by Monsieur Fricandeau:
"Pave lost my leetle dog female He
loise; | hear Monsieur Mitnacht know
something about every ting, and l go to
him and say:
'Sare, will give you Won dollare if
you will tell me my Holoise's fortune,
and ware find her.
Gle say, 'ar is dat Heloiso? Is she
your wife ?''
II say 'No-but I lufs her much bet.
ter than six, seven vifes, or would not
give you Won dellare for bring her back
''Den he say, ''you must tell me ven
Heloise was born, and kalkelate her
nativitee."
$50 tell him dat, and pay him ze dol.
lare, and he make figure on re papier
and tell me Heloise vas gone off wild

no more. And | ask him vot dat toder
man would do vid Heloise would he
make sausage! He say no, he would

"Den laugh, he! haw and tell him
Heloise vas Won dog female. So he got
mad, and call me Won French homebug,
and say want to cheat him, and Wy

1t appeared that Monsieur Fricandeau
had been sharply dealt with, and had
suffered enough by the loss of his dollar
and his nights imprisonment SO the
astrologer's complaint was dismissed, and
Mons. E. was set at liberty. = PAila.
