Hard Times.

Hard Times is now on every lip,
And breatbed from every tongue;
The banks are cursed by one and all,
The aged and the young.
The merchant has to close his doors,
And throw his ledger by;
Such times, he VOWS, =ese ae"e: seen
BY any mortal eye.
The shopmen quit the counters side,
For customers are few;
The times are now so very tight"
1t makes them all look blue"
The citizen in vain essays
To make more than his bread,
A pound OF which, he now declares,
Won't weigh pound of lead.
There's not day but some one fails,
Some house that goes to smash;
And names that once stood high on Change
Are out for want Of cash.
Those whom we thought were millionaires,
/, And rich in shares and stocks,
Their million heirs I" now disappoint-
They fall, and leave no rocks"
"iIard times! hard times Was ever seer
Such times, as hard as these 2"
This is the cry from morn till night,
In which each one agrees.
A remedy, we think, we've found,
Say, how do you think twill dol
Pull off your coat, roll up your sleeves,
And work these hard times through Z"

fallen, like himself he went through the
States lecturing on temperance. The tour
was an eminently successful and brilliant
one, his lectures being fully equal to those
Of Cough, whose elo9uence has electrified
thousands in this country and England
But his old habits gained the mastery Of
him again. and his subsequent life has been
but fearful struggle between his appetites
and his arnbition-in which it must be con,
fessed, his appetites have generally triumph.
ed. So great, indeed. was his craving for
artificial stimulants that even while deliver.
ing his Temperance lectures he made use OF
drugs, sufficient in quantity and potency to
burn out the yitals Of an ordinary man.
There was no subject whether ancient or
modern, grave or gay, upon which he did
not converse with fiuency and eloquence.
He passed with the most careless ease, from
the profoundest disquisi,ion upon the doc
trines Of the Bible, the religion of 6onfucius,

A GENTLEMAN, conversing with lady.
friend a short time since, claimed that lie
could parodise on the hoop question any
verse she might choose to repeat. She &C.
cordingly rehearsed the following verse from
the Old Sexton:
Nigh to grave that was newly made
Leaned q sexton old on his earth-worn spade,
His work was done, and he paused to wait
The funeral train through the open gate;
relic of by-gone days was he,
And his locks were as white as the foamy sea;
And these words came from his lips so thin
al gather them in, gather them in"
Wbereupon the graceless fellow took his
pencil and thus wrote on scrap of news
paper lying by:
Nigh to chnrch that was newly made,
Stood a lady fair, and thus she said
Too bad, too bad-l here must wait ...
While they measure the breadth OF this open gate
All! tits only mine by siz, seel
Too narrow. too narrow, alAsi for me;
And che sighed from her quivering lips so thin
"I can't get in-I can't get inl"

How TO GET RID OF RATs.-There is a
public house on the St. John called Rat Tay.
en. The name originated thus: An Amer
lean was travelling up the river during a
tbaw in winter, when snow and water were
very nearly knee deep. Late in the after.
noon he came TO this tavern, cold, wet and
hungry. and called for dinner. He was told
rather roughly by the landlord that the din.
ner hour had passed, and he must wait till
tea. He theE asked for cold lunch, as he
was fast and hungry. After some grum.
bling, this was brought in. The stranger
ate, and asked for his bill. "Fifiy cents, u
was the reply, in a growing tone. "Din.
ner is quarter, but lunch is out of Season,
and you must pay fifty cents" The travel.
er paid the bill and sat down to dry himself
Soon cheese was brought in by the maid,
very much mutilated by the rats. The
whole race Of rats received voley of abuse
from the enraged landlord. "And why do
you keep rats Z" said the Yankee. al can
give you a receipt that can warrant you
will keep every rat away" "Ah and how
much will you charger" 40, about fifty
cents" The landlord, somewhat compla
cent. returned the half dollar "and now,
said he, "for the receipt" "Well, sir
said the Yankee, whenever rat comes To
your house cold, wet and hungry, give him
n cold lunch and charge him half dollar
and I'll be bound he'll not come again"
