There is an affiuence of puns about the follow
ng verses by MAY TAYLOR that reminds US of
Iood;
Behind a market-stall, installed,
| mark 1t every day,
Stands at her stand, the fairest girl
I've met with ut the bay;
Her two lips are Of cherry red,
Her hands pretty pair,
With such pretty turn up nose,
And lovely reddish hair.
It's there she stands from morn till night,
Her customers to please,
And to appease their appetities
She sells them beans and peas.
Attracted by the glanccs from
The apple of her eye,
And by her Chill apples, too,
Each passer-by will buy.
She stands upon her little feet,
Throughout the liyeong day,
And sells her celery and things
A big feat by the way.
She changes off her stock for change,
Attending to each call
And when she has but one beat left,
She ssys-''Now that beet's ALL"

Mr.. Buchanan, on Utah Old Buck is good
deal riled with Brigham Young who, with his
one hundred wives, have created rebellion
when the old Buck hasn't one that he can call his
own. If one woman created Ia rebellion in the
Garden of Eden when she had man and ought
to bin satisfied, it isn't wonderful that one hun
dred should do the like in Utah, having only one
man among 'em all Says 1, Bucky, did you
ever see union and harmony where there was n
hundred wmen and but one man-its agin all
mater to expect it-and the only way to bring
matters to a good sartin point, is to see each
woman has her man.
Yes, but said old Buck then every man would
be oblceg'd to hev his woman. Yes, sartn, seq

hull Of this trouble and say | sot 'em bad ex
ample. That's SO, SEE |, and since you druv Sc
many wimen to take mp with one man bekasC
you refused to take up your sheer, it's your dut,

this the York Gazette SAYS: 'and while every
