Well, here's n situation,
For young man up tree
With bulldog standing under,
Looking lovingly at me
Game to serenade my Julia;
Lightly climb'd the garden wall;
Tuned my guitar meath her window.
Yonder where the shadows fall;
Got os far as Sleep my darling"
When the deep bass "bow WOW WOW"
Out of time and tune saluted me

And swapping close behind me
Warn'd me u foe was near;
So | beat quick retreat from there,
And fousd lodgment here"
As climb'd the smooth alanthus.

Let's see; yes, here's rent behind,
know how it came therel
Plague take the canine creaturel
Wagging his stiff bob tail.
As though he thought his narrative
Would 6ually prevail.
But such dogmaic arguments
Have no effect on me-
And such waggish illustrations
With my temper don't agree.
Yonder, where the snowy curtain
In the mellow moonligh; shines,
Unconscious of my sad mishap,
My Julia dear reclines.
would not now, for all the world,
That she should see me here,
Dangling in the old alanthus,
With white flag in my rear!
Oh for bit of strichnine.
Orsome poison OF some sort,
I'd stop the wapging of that tail,
And all the canine sport.
'Tis midnight aud hope if now
A ghost is on the jog.
He'll come this way and frigbtcn off
This most pugnacious dog.
Ilark! what is that an old tom cat
Around the porch is crawling;
Poor toni I've u fellow felue
For your sad caterwauling!
Now Dowser hears him.-see, he turns!
Seek! catch him /! bite him, l. owser!
Confound the twig it's fastened in
The rent that's in my trowscr!
He's gone! and dog and cot are seen
In mad and desperate chase;
'Tis very proper time, think,
For me to leave this place.
Oh Julia, sleep! sleep sound, my love!
Oh, do not wake just vet,
TO view the rent in my trewseroons,
Made by yoar canine pet.

in the House was to prepare the republicans
for moderate candidate at Chicago, and may
be put down as a Mclean wedge. Some Of
his hits were irresistible. Standing between
the belligeronts, and regarding either side, "Do
you know" said he with his comic air, "what
the most of you have been trying to do for the
larger part of this session." Here the speaker
in most ludicrous manner shaded both sides
of his head with his hands, "You have been
