There's a little trash just oozed from your quill
A hating, wild, spasmodic display.

Alfred, why do you write in this way
Don't don't Tennyson, don'ti
You'll really oblige us. sir. if you won't
Tennyson, Tennyson, Tennyson, don'tl
Be not deaf to the voice that warns;
Yours are but Maud-lin lines indeed
Rather figs of thisties and grapes of thorns,
Than laurel spring from roadside weed,
Don't don't ! Tennyson don't!
You'll really oblige US, sir. if you won'ti
Tennyson, Tennyson, Tennysou, don't!
Let such twaddle forever go
swig at your butt of Malmsey wine;
Better a jolly good drunk or so,
Than lyrics drawn so deuced fine.
Don't! don't! Tennyson, don't!
You'll really oblige US, sir, if you won't!
Tennyson, Tennyson, Tennyson, don't!
Hold until you've summat to say /;
Hold, my boy, in the name Of the Queen
Or somebody else should stake the butt"-

"The whole value Of wealth consists in the per-
sonal independence it secures,"-a maxim, saws

A man named Porter, says, once be had a cler-
ical friend between whom and himself there exist
ed great intimacy.
Every Saturday night. as Porter was sitting bal
ancing his cash, a note would come requesting
the loan of a five dollar bill" The money was
always returned punctually at eight O'Clock on
the Monday morning. But what puzzled the lem
der was, the parson always returned the very
identical note he borrowed. Since he had dis
covered the fact, he made private marks on the
note still the same was handed back Monday
morning. One Saturday evening Porter sent q
five dollar gold piece instead of a note, and mark
ed it. Still the very same coin was returned on
Monday. Porter got nervous and bilious abou.

with curiosity, when a note came from the rover.
end borrower, one Christmas eve, asking for the
loan of ten dollars. A brilliant thought struck
our friend. He put on his great coat, resolving
to call and demand an explanation of the mys.
terry.
When he was shown into his friends study, be
there found him plunged in the most profound
melancholy.
'Mr.-,' said our friend, if you will ans
wer me ono question. l will les you have the ten
dollars
How does it happen that you always repay me
the money you borrow on Saturday night in the
very same cuin or note on Mondayf
The parson raised his head, and after a violent
struggle. as though he were about to unveil the
boarded mystery of his soul. said, in faltering
tones Porter, you are a gentleman, a scholar,
a Christian and a New Yorker-I know l can rely

An my beautiful %violets,
Stirring under tho sod,
Feeling in all your being,
The breath Of the spirit of God
Thrilling your delicate pulses,
Warming your life-blood anew
Struggle up in the Spring-light;
I'm watching and waiting fer you.
Stretch up your white arms towards Inc,
Climb and never despair
Come the blue sky is above you,
Sunlight and soft warm air.
Shake off the sleep from your eyelids,
Work in the darkness awhile,
Trust in the light that's above you,
Win your way up to its smile.
All do you know how the May-aowers,
Dowt on she shore of the lake,
Are whispering, one to another,
All in the silence, "Awake"
Blushing from under the pine-leaves,
Soon they will greet me aneg,-
But still, oh, my beautiful %violets,

continent of Europe men are suffered TO die

Overtures for a cessation OF hostilitie., ii Is
