A friend of ours, says the U. S.
Review, near Tampa Bay, in Flori-
da, employed a number Of New
York mechanics to do a piece OF
work. 1t was a government con-
tract, and required particular dis
patch. The men worked as North
ern mechanics know how to work.
Old Jupe, one of their employers
slaves, watched them out of the cor
ner of his eyes for several days.
Something was evidently work.

badly. At last he came up to the
foreman of the gang, and said:

you all work for so eh?"
''To earn our money, Jupe."

"You make great deal money!"
"Not a great deal, Jupe; spring,
summer and fall we do well; but
work is slack in the winter time,
and if we get around again to spring,
and make both ends meet, and keep
the wife and babies in something to
eat and drink, and house to shell
ter them, we generally think we
have done WELL"
"S'pose you sick, Mass'r Charles,
who takes care of you?"
Why, Jupe, that's the hard part
of it. If we get sick, work stops,
and we get very poor, and suffer
great priyations."
"Dat'll do, Mass'r Charles" said
Jupe. 81 thought white folks sensi-

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.


BYs,c. NJ.
i say her in life's May morn,
My hearts first love, Jenette,
When the rose-bloom Of her soul
With the dew Of youth was wet;
Full five, FIVE inches high,
1.-the, plump, and sweet sixteen;
Oh! she was very lovely,
And l was--uoy green!
The jetty locks that rested
Upon her brow Of snoy
Went ripping like the waves
OF a winter rivers flow.
Her eye was like the dew-drop
That gems the violet's cup,
And when she smiled-ah me! she
Completely used me up.
saw her shortly after
Before the altar stand,
When she gave wealthy BOBBY
Her little lily hand.
"And wilt thou, love, obey bim?"
She sweetly murmured ''yes:"
But she inly vowed "she lootddnT-
".Mo suee, Bob" guess.
Jenette, oh, dear Jenettel
My heart, it sank within,
And drops wrung out by agony
Were beaded on my skin.
Strychnine-a knife-a rope
Twisted around my throttle,
Or live and drown a world of woes
Deep in the brandy bottle.
Time fled-again saw her,
With baby on her lap,
And she timed the rascal's music
With an oft repeated slap;
Her trembling lord and master
Locked on IN agony,
For the broom was in her hand
And the devil in her eye.
Cold victuals in the daytime,
Hot lectures too of nights,
Defining her position
On woman's patent rights.
Pallid, forlorn, he stood
A wan, detected martyr
He dreamed he caught an angel,
But he onl, caught a Tartar!
Oh, false dream Of youths hey-day!
Fiction of wild romance,
Where airy trace of frost-work
Was melted at glance!
Oh! many hope has vanished,
And many star has SET,
But nothing yet has "got me"
So bad as young Jenette.
