One Of our citizens who has taken some
pride for several years in cultiyating a
full crop Of hair on hi, face, was called
away from home on business some time
since. While absent an inexperienced
spoiled his whiskers in trimming them,
which 50 chagrined him that he directed
the barber to make clean job of it, by
shaving whiskers and mustache both of.
The barber obeyed, and our friends face
was smooth and delicate as when he was
in his teens He returned home in
the night. Next morning his little
girl did not recognize him on wax
ening up. Looking over her moth.

childish simplicity: "Mister get out Of
here; I'll tell my Pa on you, when he
comes heme." CoanersciUe Times.

fastened to the fierce combatters,
Heard the humble, true confession
Of J. Me-, the pedagogucr;
Heard G. Rhodes, the Grammar critic,
Tell his talo Of spite and vengeance,
Tell his tale of wrath and malice,
Saw that he had more than ever,
Made the wounds Of Mother English
Bleed afresh and open wider.
Then to Me-, the pedagoguer,
Turned he with look of mercy,
Hoped he'd provs himself quite able
To repair the harm he'd done her.
Done to good old Mother English.
Turned to Rhodes, the Grammar critic,
Gave him, with o stroke Of vengeance,
A severe and dreadful drubbing
For the still more direful evil
He had done to Mother English.
About used up was Rhodes, the critic;
To his heels he took, and never
Has been heard from since the battle.
At this time the puppy, Filos,
Faithful pup Of Mother English,
Comes up growing, swapping, snarling,
Jumping, grinning, and barking
As though he'd frighten oil to pieces,
But did no harm to any body.
And such q battle has ne'cr been heard O
Since the war at Harper's Ferry,
Since the war Of Brown the martyr,
Old John Brown the friend to niggers.

Why this "irreprcssible conflict
Not about the woelIy niggcrs,
Nor the boosted, threatened murder
OF our Father, Plu-ri-bus-tah;
Should you ask me why this jangling,
Why this quarreling and this fighting
why this kicking and this cutting,
Why this "knock-knecd, spawned" talkini
That has lately been inserted
In the columns Of the Transcript?

"Cause our good old Mother English,
She who loves US all so dearly,
Who has ever nurscd and cheered US,
Who has helped us in our searching
After knowledge, after wisdom,
And has helped the good and mighty
In their labors or the earth-land,
Has been badly bruised and mangled
And, It's rumored, almost murdered.

How have they abused, and mangled,
And distorted Mother English?

"Twas stormy, winter evening,
All without was sad and dreary,
Ger the prairie, Ger tho woodland,
Hovlsd the wind SO strong and iercsly,
And the Frost King bit 50 sharply,
That it was not ft for any
To travel out upon journey.
In the parlor BY the ire-side,
All Was comfort peace and quiet;
In the armchair, leaning backward,
With his heels upon the sofa
And his head inelining forward,
As if full and somewhat heavy,
Sat J. Mo-, the psdagoguer,
To himself 80 sweetly musing,
How to spend the hours, 50 weary,
OF that stormy, dreary evening,
Much he thought and much he pondefed.
After long and patient thinking,
As ell around was still and quiet,
On sudden, sprang he forward
Asif new idea had struck him.

Shouted hs in tones Of rapture;
"Tll attack old Mother English
And thereby achieve great valor."
So he straightway got his dagger,
Pitched right ct cid Mother English,
Who was standing in the corner;
"Hauling Of" It first he kicked her,
"Out Of joint" he somewhat knocked her,
Was 30 careless" where he struck her,
Pierced her badly with his dagger,
And the blood flowed out so freely,
Till growing fainter, fainter, fainter,
She began to reel and stagger,
And sho got 90 weak and weary,
