THE PIG I'm THE FENCE.

Oh where are the friends of the pig in the fence?
"Where ?" echo replies He has none!
There were numbers around him few moments
since,
But now he is fast, they are gone.
Gone! Only their friendship is gone they are here
Cavorting and "charging" immense,
And joining the throng in affecting the rear
Of the pig that is fast in the fence.
They seek not the cause that placed him between
The rails. Oh no! Why should they care
Since with bristes erect they rush to the scene
To punish him while ne is there
To raise the cry loudly, so all, far and near,
May know his condition, and hence
Come running to join them in biting the rear
Of the pig that is fast in the fence.
They would not release him, although it might cost
Not step more than was taken before,
But, on the contrary, they'd do to their utmost
To perplex and involve him the more;
To press him more closely, ayhap, thro' the fear
That he might betake him from thence,
And punish them sorely for biting the rear
OF the pig that was fast in the fence.
But swine are not all of the creatures that be
That find themselves sticking between
The rails of the fence and who strive to get free,
While the world is still showing them in;
Who find that the favor they meet with depends
Not worth, but dollars and cents,
Aud that there are none who will prove themselves
friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.

COMPETITION IN THE FAR WEsT.-The West
is great place for originality The people of that
wonderful section of country do things to their
own liking, whether it conforms to Anticipated
custom or not For instance, at St. Joseph, Mo-,
the Sons of Malta offered premium of tea-service,
boquet, jack-knife and cane to the finest baby.
His Honor, NJ. Jeff Thompson, Mayor of St. Joseph,
secured jack-knife as being the ugliest man
the fair grounds; and Mr. A K. Miller editor Of
the St. Joseph Journal, elegant cane, he being
considered the handsomest man present. A boquet
was awarded to tie handsomest unmarried lady
under twenty five years ofage and silver tea service
to the handsomest married lady under thrty-fve
years Of age, having the most children.

LEAF BY LEAF.

Leaf BY leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry,
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain,
And the Summer sun and dew.
So in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs Of gladness fail,
And the roses in the bloom,
Leaf by leaf turn wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like a silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes,
In the casket of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When griefs winter shall have fled,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its poisoning
In the spirits glorious cline.
