see proper to prepare treatise on Common
Law pleadings ard practice, they should do
so Of their own violation, and the work should

HIAWATHA REVISED.

"Ohi the fever and the famine"
Oh! he took the ague badly,
And it shook him, shook him Sorely;
Shook his boots of, and his toe-nails;
Shook his teeth out and his hair of;
Shook his coat all into tatters,
And his shirt all into ribbons;
Shirtless, coatless, hairless, toothless,
Minus boots and niNy toe-nails,
Still it shook him-shook him till it
Made him yellow, gsunt and bony;
Shook him till he reached his death-bed;
Shook him till it shuflled for him
or his mortal coil, and then it
Having made him cold as could be,
Shook the earth still down upon him,
And he still lies meath his gravestone,
Ever shaking, shaking, shaking,
And shaking, shaking, shaking.

HARP OF A THOUSAND STRINGS.

Come, generous friends, q little whie,
And listen to NV song,
And though my subject 10 very great
Nv story won't be long.
I'm going to sing about the Nines'
And several other things
Wen sing the words and play the tune
OF Harp on y Thousand strings.
Religion, Politics and Law
Are ranging under par,
As seen by microscopic aiu,
In pulpit, forum, bar;
A focus brought on either one,
The saS result still brings
human being playing away
On Harp Of Thousand Strings.
The preachers don't as they used to do,
In the good old days gone by;
They used to preach of the souls Of men,
Till they made the women cry;
But they read their sermons nowadays,
And the choir strikes up and sings,
And the folks can't join when the tune 10 played
On Harp of Thousand Strings.
The members don't as they used to do
Their zeal and loves grown cold;
They're thinking of the corn they've raised,
And how to get more gold.
And though the preacher reads quite well,
Their conscience never stings;
They d rather steal the crown of gold
And a Harp Of Thousand Strings.
The politician used TO be
A man of some renown:
Now, q half dozen would-be-such
Are found in every town.
For when one finds he make speech,
Or soar on buzzard's wings,
He mounts hobby and plays away
On Harp of a Thousand Strings.
No matter how corrupt he is
How oft he turns his coat,
The nomination sets him right
He gets the peoples vote
He eats his fill 81 the public crib,
He drinks at the public springs
The charm succeeds-he plays SO well
On Harp of Thousand Strings.
Then let US take hasty view
or Justice and the Bar;
Alas how quickly We discern,
How altered all things are;
The sword and scales are little used,
The culprit seldom swings;
For gold will make the lawyer play
On Harp of a Thousand Strings.
So turn your eyes to every part
OF Uncle Sans machine,
You'll find screw that's working loose
Some place that needs pin.
But must end my story now,
Although my muse still brings
verse or two for every chord
On Harp Of Thousand Strings.

A FARMER said to a barber that he ought
to reduce his prices, now that corn was
cheap. "No, sir, ee," replied the shaver,
'for when corn is low, farmers make such
long faces that have twice the ground to 90
over"

Balance in Treasury. ............... $4,000 43
There is necessity that some means
should be found, to compel the county au-
thorites in the several counties to pay over
promptly the Territorial and State Taxes COL
lected. The people paid them at the
same time they paid their County and School
assessments, but the County Commissioners
or the County Treasurers have used them for
their own necessities, and let the General
Treasury 60 empty. This might be borne
under the Territorial organization but it
will be disastrous indeed to permit such a
condition of things under the State oreaniza-
ton. Let the Legislature look this matter
up, and try and find means to make the
County Officers fork over, without draw
backs or delays, in the future Otherwise,
the State Treasury will be continually bank
rupt.
