For that were joke scandal;
But, every one knows it. he night and day blows it,
/ wish he'd blow out like candlei
his horn Is 30 long, and he blows it SO strong,
he would made Handel fly the handle.
By taking hornI don't hint
That he swigs either rum, gin, or whisky;
IFS re who drink in his din worse than gin.
His strains that attempt to be frisky,
But are grievously sad-A donkey, add,
Is as musicsl, brsyiBg in key. -a
It's puzzle 10 know what he's at;
could pity him, If it were madness:
never yet knew him to play tune through,
And il gives me more anger than sadness
To hear his horn stutter and stammer to utter
Its various abortions ofbadness.
AT his wide open window he stands,
Overlooking his bit of garden;
One can see the great at end of his brass
Blaring out, never asking your pardon:
This terrible hurting he thinks is not hurting
As long as his own ear-drums harden.
lie thinks, Eve no doubt, it is sweet.
While thus Time and Tune he is laying;

The windows all shaking, the babies all waking.
The very dogs bowling and baying
One note out of the twenty he hits fHt
And, cheered, blows pianos like forfes.

"a sort Of Columbus Cortes,)
On perlious ocean, without any notion
Whereabouts in the dim deep his port is.
Like man late from club he has lost
His KEY, and around stumbl,s rnoring,
Touching this, trying that, now sharp, now fat
Till he strikes on the note he Is hoping,
And terrible blare at the end of the air
Shows he's got through at last with his groping.
There,-hes finished, ,-at least, for whiie
lie is tired, or como to his senses;
And out of his horn shakes the drops that borne
BY the winds ofmusicai frenzies.
There's rest thank stars, of ninety tsrs,
Ere the tempest of sound rc-commences.

Where all their false notes protested,

IN writing from Watertown, Jefferson coun-
ty, N. Y, says:
Early on Sunday morning, three prisor
ners, named Wilson, Eddy, Missile and
Ward, by fleming the sickness Of one of
their number, got the jailor at this place,
Mr.. Baker, in their power, gagged and
bound him, and locked him in q cell. This
done they robbed him of his money and
the keys of the prison, and were calmly
taking their leave, when they were brought
all up standing,by beholding the jailors
little wife pointing at them through rail-
ing, loaded revolver, and calmly inform
ing them that she would put bullet thro'
the first man who attempted to come
forward. A conversation something ike
this followed:
PR1soNER-The devil you will! You
don't know how to shoot it.
Mas. BAKER-Try it and see, if you like!
I have been practicing with this pistol for
the past few days, and promise you will
kill the first man who comes forward.
PR1soNER-Well, if that's your game,
we'll be quits with you. Now, take your
choice. young woman-either let US pass
out in peace, or submit to have your hus-
lands brains knocked out against the
walls of this Jail. Which do you like bestl
Perhaps that wont he gay, nor nothing,
just to see him laying out there cold and
stiff, with his brains laying around. Ha!
ha! -d-d pretty picture, amt it9 Did
pretty wife you, amt ye, to get your hus-
band killed? Come, now, what dye say!
Let US out and it'll be all right--won't

MRS. BAKER-THe first man wAo steps

And there that brave woman held those
men at bay for something like half an hour,
until help came, and they were driven into
their cells.

ATTACHMENT OF THE Doa.-One Of the
most remarkable instances Of the strong attach.
ment OF the dog to its owner that We ever heard
narrated occurred 10 Hsnrico county, short time
since: gentleman residing on Union Hill had
favorite Newfoundland, sixteen years old that had
always been kept at home as guard Three
times day he received his meals from the hands of
his mistress. and displayed bis gratitude by follow
ing her about the yard, ready at any moment to
seize whatever crossed her path, aud by standing
sentinel at her chamber door, 1t all seasons. wbso
his master WAS absent During the past Spring
the mistress was taken sick. and while living on
her death bed, her faithful guardian exhibited bis
sympathies b5 most piteous whines, whenever he
could get into her room. After painful illness.
the mistress died, and her remains were taken to
Hanover county for interment, the dog being left
at home. When the family returned, the old dog
suddenly disappeared, and taking the road along
which the remains OF his mistress had been car
ried, travelled until getting within a few hundred
yards of her last resting place. when, being over.
come with hunger. fatigue and grief, he fell and
expired. The dog had never been along the road
before. and must have selected the right one from
instinct. Faithful in ife bis last desire seemed to
be to die near that mistress whose kindness had
made him faithful unto death.

TIE EPIDEMIC IN NEW 0RLBAHs-The Delta Of Az
gust 14th, compares the present epidemic with
those of 1854 and 1885, to which it seems to bear
near analogy, and augurs q speedy abatement. In
1854, the first deaths from yellow fever reported,
occurred in the week ending August 1st, whom
they amounted to twelve, and the number increas-
ed TO three hundred aud firty-two In the week
ending September 20, the ninth week of the epi-
demic. The next week 1t fell to two hundred and
sixty-nine, and continued to decrease steadily till
the extinction of the disease.
In 1885, the frst week of the epidemic was that
ending Jane Is. when one death occurred; the
number for the week ending August 81, (the ninth
weekl was three hundred aud ninety four; for
the next week three hundred and hfty seven, with
marked and steady decline from that date This
season, the commencement of the epidemic dates
from the week ending June ~, when two deaths
occurred, and the number has increased till week
before last II amounted to one hundred and forty.
Last week was the eighth, and, reasoning from
analogy, It 10 hoped that the disease will attain its
maximum of fatality during the present week
