Their diamonds, and rubles, and pearls,
And their miliner.fgures and faces;

Emblazoned with half they possess;
But give me, in place of them all,
My girl with calico dress.
She is as plump as partridge, and fair
,,As the rose in its earliest bloom; .a.
Her teeth will with ivory compare
And her breath with the clover perfume;
Her step is as free and "a light
As the fawns whom the hunters hard press
And her eye is as soft and as bright
My girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foplings may sneer
AT her simple and modest attire;
But the charms she permits to appear f.
Would set u whole iceberg on fire
She can dance, but she mover allows

she is saving all these for her spouse

AN INTERENcE-The following is from the
Omaha Nebraskian, Democratic paper:
The Volksblatt, German paper, gave as
reason why the Germans should vote for the
american" candidate for Mayor of Cincinnati,
the fear that unless they did so, the "Ameri-
cans" might, in return, some day break their
heads. Surely "reign of terror" attends the
progress of Know Nothingism.
